RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Commission Resolution No. 4980 / Modification of Special
Improvement Lighting District 728 for The Lakes at Valley West 1-5A.
BACKGROUND: The Commission did on January 7, 2019 adopt Commission Resolution

associated power bills and schedule system maintenance. We will recover these costs by billing
property owners each year on their City Assessment bill. It is estimated to cost $57.80 per acre
within the district or $1,084.92 annually for the entire district. The average sized lot is 4,419
square feet, which equates to an annual assessment of approximately $5.86 per lot per year.
