ACTION/MOTION: (This language identifies the formal motion to be made by the Council) 
Council to take action on Resolution No. 25-25 accepting a Petition, Waiver and Consent to Formation of
a Maintenance Improvement District by the City of Buckeye; declaring the intention to form a
Maintenance Improvement District; designating such District as “City of Buckeye Maintenance
Improvement District No. MID-2023-001”; and providing for the annual levy of taxes or an annual
assessment against the lots within the District in proportion to the benefits received.
SUMMARY
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Maintenance Improvement Districts (MIDs) are formed in the City of Buckeye in accordance with
Ordinance No. 42-06 and assess the owners within a development for the cost of maintenance of the
landscaping along the rights-of-ways within a development MID. MIDs are not activated unless the
development's owners should fail or otherwise go out of business, since the owner is charged with that
maintenance responsibility; however, the MID is standing by as a protection for the City to ensure that
there is adequate revenue to take on the maintenance, if needed. The formation of this MID is for the
Ventana Ranch Subdivision, designating such District as “City of Buckeye Maintenance Improvement
District No. MID-2023-001"; and providing for the annual levy of taxes or an annual assessment against
the lots within the District in proportion to the benefits received.
BENEFITS:
Maintenance Improvement Districts ensure that only the owners that benefit from the improvements to
their community pay for that service. Having the costs of maintenance, repair and improvement of parks
within a District borne by the owners in a development ensure that the revenue needed to fund these
costs are always in place. 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.
FUTURE ACTION:
This resolution will be recorded and a conformed copy delivered to the Maricopa County Assessor and
the Arizona State Department of Revenue within ten (10) business days of Council action to ensure that
this MID is on the tax rolls for fiscal year 2025/2026.
