REPORT TO COUNCIL
SUBJECT
Title
Adoption of a New Resolution of Intention With a Revised Public Hearing Date of June 9, 2020 for Parking Maintenance District No. 122 - Franklin Square [Council Pillar: Deliver and Enhance Quality Efficient Services and Infrastructure]
Report
BACKGROUND
On April 7, 2020, the City Council approved a Resolution of Intention (No. 20-8829) to order that the alternative method for the levy of benefit assessment be made applicable to City of Santa Clara Parking Maintenance District No. 122, providing for notice of hearing thereon, and approving for distribution the Director’s Report for Fiscal Year 2020/21. The Resolution set June 2, 2020 as the date of the Public Hearing. The June 2, 2020, City Council meeting has subsequently been canceled, and so there is a need to issue a new Resolution of Intention setting the public hearing for the June 9, 2020 Council meeting.
DISCUSSION
As detailed in the April 7, 2020 Report to Council, adoption of the proposed resolution is the initial step necessary to set the annual budget for Parking Maintenance District No. 122. The approval process requires the preparation of a Director’s Report (Attachment 3) explaining the preparation and basis of assessments; publication and posting of a Notice of Public Hearing (Attachment 4); and holding a public hearing on the annual assessments.
Due to the extension of the countywide Shelter-in-Place Order for COVID-19, it was no longer feasible to conduct a May 5, 2020 face-to-face meeting with property owners to discuss questions regarding the Director’s Report. The property owners meeting was subsequently rescheduled as a teleconference meeting on May 12, 2020.
Staff is requesting that the Council now set a hearing date of June 9, 2020 at 2:00 p.m. to complete processing of the April 7 Council agenda report, and adopt the revised Resolution of Intention for Parking Maintenance District No. 122 - Franklin Square, which reflect the changes made to the meeting date(s), time(s) and location(s). The Public Hearing notice with the updated June 9, 2020 Council date was also published in the May 20, 2020 edition of The Weekly.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The action being considered does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378(b)(4) in that it is a fiscal activity that does not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potential significant impact on the environment.
FISCAL IMPACT
This is a procedural item only and as such, there is no fiscal impact other than the City Staff time.
COORDINATION
This report has been coordinated with the Finance Department, City Clerk’s Office and City Attorney’s Office.
PUBLIC CONTACT
Public contact was made by posting the Council agenda on the City’s official-notice bulletin board outside City Hall Council Chambers. A complete agenda packet is available on the City’s website and in the City Clerk’s Office at least 72 hours prior to a Regular Meeting and 24 hours prior to a Special Meeting. A hard copy of any agenda report may be requested by contacting the City Clerk’s Office at (408) 615-2220, email clerk@santaclaraca.gov .
On May 20, 2020, the Notice of Public Hearing for the June 9, 2020 City Council meeting was published in the Weekly. In addition, the notice will be posted at the City Clerk’s Office and mailed to all property owners within the District.
