SUBJECT: Budget Resolution for County Service Area 33, Malaga
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
TITLE
Adopt a Budget Resolution increasing the FY 2016-17 appropriations in the amount of $2,500 from General Reserves for County Service Area 33, Org 9173. (4/5 vote)
REPORT
The recommended action will increase appropriations to fund the costs associated with the payment of the utility invoices for County Service Area 33 (CSA 33).
ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S):
If the recommended action is not approved, CSA 33 will lack the needed appropriations to fund costs associated with the payment of the utilities this fiscal year.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no Net County Cost associated with the recommended action. CSA 33 activities are funded by assessments, and interest earned on cash reserves. Approval of the proposed Budget Resolution will increase FY 2016-17 appropriations in the amount of $2,500 for County Service Area 33 Org 9173. The costs associated with this action will be covered by General Reserves and will be used to pay the costs of the utility invoices.
DISCUSSION:
CSA 33 was formed in 1981 to provide street lighting for the Malaga Community. In 1984, the McNeill- Fresno Industrial Park and adjacent area, referred to as the Shapazian-McNeill Annexation, were annexed to CSA 33. Only street lighting is provided throughout CSA 33 while the Shapazian-McNeill Annexation receives both street lighting and landscape maintenance. CSA 33 contains 225 developed parcels including twelve industrial parcels. (see Exhibit A)
Street lighting provides a benefit for residents of a community by making nighttime travel safer as they move by foot, bicycle, or vehicle from place to place within the community. All owners of developed properties share these benefits regardless of zoning or use of their property; therefore share equally the cost of the service.
