MEETING DATE: September 16, 2019
AGENDA ITEM TYPE: Action
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Commission Resolution No. 5089 / Creation of Special
Improvement Lighting District 755 for Norton East Ranch Phase 4
BACKGROUND: The Commission did on August 19, 2019 adopt Commission Resolution
No. 5088 / Intent to Create Special Improvement Lighting District 755 for Norton East Ranch
Phase 4 as per MCA 7-12-4301. The property owner has been noticed of the public hearing on
this date. Creating a lighting district is a requirement of final plat approval.
FISCAL EFFECTS: As a result of creating this lighting district, the City will pay the
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 $19.40 per acre
within the district or $215.64 annually for the entire district. On an average size lot of 26,911 square feet the annual estimated cost would be $12.01, which is payable semiannually.
ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the City Commission.
