Improvement District (SLID); declaring its intention to form a Street Lighting Improvement District;
designating such District as the "City of Buckeye Street Lighting Improvement District No. SLID-2025-

SUMMARY
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Per Resolution No. 37-25, Council to accept a Petition for Formation of a Street Light Improvement
District (SLID) for the Avalon Jackrabbit development; declare the intention to form a SLID; designate
such District as "City of Buckeye Street Light Improvement District No. SLID-2025-006"; 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:
Street Lighting Improvement Districts (SLIDs) and Maintenance Improvement Districts (MIDs) are
implemented to maintain a balance between revenue and expenditures, ensuring a high quality of life for
residents and property owners within a development without imposing and undue burden upon the
broader community. SLIDs specifically fund the purchase of energy (not its generation), ensuring that
only those who directly benefit from community lighting bear the associated costs. This structure
guarantees consistent funding for these expenses while preventing the City from incurring costs through
its Highway User Revenue Fund.
FUTURE ACTION:
A Resolution creating the City of Buckeye Street Light Improvement District No. SLID-2025-006 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.
