SUMMARY
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Per Resolution No. 20-26, Council to accept a Petition for Formation of a SLID for the La Aurora project;
declare the intention to form a SLID; designate such District as "City of Buckeye Street Light
Improvement District No. SLID-2025-008"; provide for the annual levy of taxes or assessments equally
apportioned upon all of the non-public property owners within the District to purchase energy for the
lighting of public streets and parks within and adjacent to the District; and order recording and filing of
this Resolution.
BENEFITS:
Both Street Lighting Improvement Districts (SLIDs) and Maintenance Improvement Districts (MIDs)
provide for the benefit of ensuring that there is a balance of revenue and expenditures to provide for the
quality of life for the residents/owners of a particular development without an undue burden upon the
existing community. SLIDs ensure that only owners that benefit from the lighting in their community pay
for that service. Having the costs of street lighting within a SLID borne by the owners in a development
ensures that the revenue needed to fund these costs is always in place.
FUTURE ACTION:
A Resolution creating the City of Buckeye Street Light Improvement District No. SLID-2025-008 follows
on the current agenda. A budget and further Council action will take place at the beginning of the next
fiscal year to implement this District.
FINANCIAL IMPACT STATEMENT:
N/A
Items related to a project or facility location must include an attached vicinity map for Council
Review.
