District No. 2006-SLID-016 to include the Ventana Ranch Subdivision and ordering recording and filing

SUMMARY
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Both Street Lighting Improvement Districts (SLIDs) and Maintenance Improvement Districts (MIDs)
provide for the benefit of ensuring 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. Street Lighting Improvement Districts (SLIDs) are established to purchase (not
generate) energy for street lighting within the District and adjacent street so that the costs are not borne
by the City in the Highway User Revenue Fund.
Attached is a power point depiction of the SLID location, which is not the legal description of the SLID, it
is simply a location map.  See the petition and exhibits for the precise depiction of the SLID.
BENEFITS:
Street Lighting Improvement Districts (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. Both
Street Lighting Improvement Districts (SLIDs) and Maintenance Improvement District (MIDs) provide for
the benefit of ensuring that there is a balance of revenue and expenditures to provider for the quality of
life for the residents/owners of a particular development without an undue burden upon the existing
community. 
FUTURE ACTION:
A budget and further Council action will take place at the beginning of the next fiscal year to implement
this District.
