BACKGROUND: The City Manager’s Recommended Budget included a 20% increase in
Street Maintenance Assessments. This increase was attributed to:

· 8% increase to establish a Reconstruction Reserve.
On July 18, 2011, the Commission is scheduled to review the Street Maintenance District
Recommended Budget. Because of the timing of that meeting and this memo, we are preparing
the Resolution and advertising the full 20% increase. The Commission will have the opportunity
to adopt the full recommended increase, or a smaller amount, if they desire.
UNRESOLVED ISSUES: None
ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the City Commission.

last year’s rate, resulting in the following:
Total Street Maintenance Assessments Collected, est. $2,665,248.08
