SUBJECT: Collection of Assessments on the Tax Rolls for Fiscal Year
1986-87, Panay City Lighting District
RAI;KGRCUND
At the May 20, 1986 'meting, the City Council approved the Engineer's Report and
adopted Resolution No. 86-053, declaring the intention to levy and collect
assessments within the Panay City Lighting District for fiscal year 1986-87.
The establishment of the Poway City Lighting District has two major elements.
The first is a transfer of control of street lights in the existing County
District to the City of Panay, to improve maintenance and administration. Foch
home currently in the County District pays an assessment of $15 a year. The
second element is to include all the parcels in the City within the Poway
Lighting District. Those developed parcels not in the County Lighting District,
which are not directly benefited by street lights, will be given a 25% assess-
ment for the indirect benefit received for lighting at intersections and along
the City's main streets.
•
FINDINGS
At the May 20, 1986 meeting, the City Council approved the 1986-87 Engineer's
Report which outlined the proposed 1986-87 budget and resulting assessment. The
same assess ent formula used by the County will be used for the City Lighting
District.
Both the City and County Lighting Districts assessments will be shown on the
1986-87 tax bills. If a have is currently within the County Lighting District,
the annual fee will be a one-time charge of $4.00 for the City and $15 for the
County. If a hare is not in the County District, the assessment will be $1.00
in 1986-87. In fiscal year 1987-88, the only fee collected will be for the City)

Subject: P':wa"r City Lighting District — Notice of Public Hearing
Comments regarding Resolution #86 for the City of Poway, from
RECEIVED
JUN 6 1986
PUBLIC SERVICES DEPT.
Dear City of Poway,
My first reaction to the initiative for assuming the responsibility of
installation and maintanance of the city lights from a Private institution
is that of concern. I feel it has been proven in general that private
instutitions can always do a .jib cheaper and with better quality than a
g,vver'nment instutition. I feel this will prove true even though the private
instutiticn-i in question is the infamous SDO&E. We are all aware that SDO&E
is having Problems now. However, like ant private institution, the problems
must he remedied or SDO&E could be sold, or the PVC could have the
management reorganized, or any of the many means that are available for
keeping a private organization competetive. Even though Public utilities
are slow to change because of their close link with the governments , they
must remain competative, or perish. If a government institution is developed
to take over the job, it might do the Job cheaper today, but it will have rio
incentive to remain competetive since their will not be ant competition.
Therefore, its costs of operation will continue to rise and there will be no
Practical means of correcting the situation.
Thank, ou ,

Dear Sir,
In response to your notice "Proposed Poway City Lighting
District" we hereby present our concerns on this subject. Our street
is in the Green Valley housing tract in northern Poway. Our street
does not have street lighting and we want to keep it that way. We
believe that the street will preserve its comfortable semi-rural
character best by remaining as it is. Ue would not want street
lighting even if it were free of cost. In fact we would pay to have
it removed if it were now installed!
Please regester our vote to keep eet lighting out of Green
Dalley. Thank You.

DEAR SIR,
I WISH TO EXPRESS MY OPPOSITION TO THE FORMATION OF A POWAY
CITY LIGHTING DISTRICT FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:
1 . I WILL INCUR AN ADDITIONAL TAX ( REGARDLESS OF THE SEMANTICS
THAT AN ASSESSMENT IS NOT A TAX) LIABILITY.
2. IT IS VERY UNLIKELY THAT MY COUNTY TAXES WILL BE REDUCED,
_ EVEN THOUGH THE COUNTY LIGHTING DISTRICT WILL NOW NOT NEED AN EMPLOYEE(S)
• TO SERVICE THE LIGHTS IN POWAY. GOVERNMENT NEVER SHRINKS.
3. I DISAGREE WITH THE RATIONALE FOR ASSESSMENT.
4. I LIKE BEING ABLE TO SEE THE STARS AND THE CITY COUNCIL
HAS NOT SET FORTH ANY PLAN TO LIMIT LIGHT POLLUTION OR INDISCRIMINATE
DISPOSITION OF STREET LIGHTS.
5. THE COSTS ARE NOT TRULY REPRESENTED. WHERE WILL POWAY
OBTAIN THE NECESSARY VEHICLES AND EQUIPMENT TO SERVICE THE LIGHTS ?
YOU CANNOT HIRE A SERVICEMAN AND BUY EQUIPMENT FOR $47, 000/YEAR.
SINCERELY YOURS,

Re: Letter from City of Poway to Property Owner (No date)
Subject: Poway City Lighting District - Notice of Public Hearing
Dear Sir::
As a Poway property owner, I have the following concerns on
the proposed establishment of an assessment district for the
Poway City Lighting District.
As stated in your letter, the objective for the change of
jurisdiction is to provide "improved service" . You allude
that the cost will be approximately $15 . 00 a benefit unit
per year, but you are non-committal on actual cost.
Concerns :
1. Manpower : Does the City of Poway currently have
the work force employed to undertake this new
responsibility or will this result in the
expansion of the public services manpower/budget
requirements?
2 . Skill Level : Does the City of Poway currently
employ personnel trained in the maintenance/
repair of subject lighting system or will
supplemental training be required?
3 . Equipment: Does the City of Poway currently own
sufficient properly equipped vehicles and other
equipment to perform the required maintenance/
repair or will additional service vehicles and
equipment have to be purchased or leased?
9 . Spare Parts : Has the City of Poway addressed this
requirement and what is the cost outlay for main-
taining a sufficient inventory?
13 of 16 JUN 17 1986 ITEM 7
City Clerk, City of Poway Page 2
t
5 . Maintenance/Storage Facilities : Does the City
of Poway currently own/lease sufficient facilities
for the maintenance and storage of lighting systems
and spare parts?
As you can see, my concerns are cost related. We all app-
reciate "improved services" , but we must weigh improvements
with cost. In addition to answering my preceding questions,
please provide me with your estimated 1987 fiscal budget for
the staffing and operation of new lighting district along
with the average time (over the past two years) it has taken
the county to repair a lighting system once it has been
reported.
Sincerely,
