BACKGROUND: The Commission did on April 20, 2020 adopt Commission Resolution No. 5154 / Intent to Modify Special Improvement Lighting District 728 for The Lakes at Valley West 1-6 as per MCA 7-12-4301. The property owners have 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 $55.66 per acre within the district or $1,210.44 annually for the entire district. The average sized lot is 4,407 square feet, which equates to an annual assessment of approximately $5.63 per lot per year. ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the City Commission.
