The City Council adopted a resolution on April 24 initiating proceedings to levy and collect assessments for the city's landscape and lighting districts for fiscal year 2025'26.

Assistant City Manager LaVoca presented the item, explaining it is the annual initiation step for 10 landscape and lighting districts and that there were no changes to the list of improvements. The resolution covers Landscaping and Lighting District numbers 1, 2, 4, 7, 11, 15, 16, 17, 18 and 19 and cites the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972.

Council Member Jorgensen moved to adopt the resolution and Council Member Grindahl seconded. Council Member Contanzio recused herself on the record because she said she has a real property interest in one of the affected parcels; the city manager also announced a recusal for the same reason. The motion passed with Council Member Contanzio recorded as recused.

Earlier in the consent calendar the council approved items D1 and D2 (as corrected) on a single vote; that consent vote passed unanimously with Council Member Bridal moving and Council Member Jorgensen seconding. Item D3 (the landscape and lighting districts resolution) was pulled from the consent calendar to record recusals and handled separately as described above.
