SUMMARY
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Street Lighting Improvement Districts (SLIDs) are established with the approval of the City Council. The
Council serves as the Governing Board of the SLID and the City administers the operations of the SLID
which are for the purpose of operating and maintaining street lighting located with the SLID. By Arizona
law, SLIDs cannot incur debt. The assessment is imposed on each property within the District and is
collected through the Maricopa County property tax system. The projected amount for revenues and
expenditures, for all SLIDs, is $565,700 for Fiscal Year 2025-2026.
BENEFITS:
The establishment and operation of SLIDs contributes to community safety by ensuring that streets are
well lighted, and that power supplied by the electric utility is paid for by the residents benefitting from the
street lighting adjacent to their home and neighborhood.
FUTURE ACTION:
Council action to conduct a public hearing and to adopt a final budget resolution, scheduled for June 3,
2025. Council action to adopt an annual assessment ordinance scheduled for June 17, 2025.
