REPORT TO COUNCIL
SUBJECT
Title
Adoption of a New Resolution of Intention With a Revised Public Hearing Date of June 9, 2020 for Maintenance District No. 183 - Santa Clara Convention Center Complex [Council Pillar: Deliver and Enhance High Quality Efficient Services and Infrastructure]
Report
BACKGROUND
On April 7, 2020 the City Council approved a Resolution of Intention (No. 20-8828) to order that the alternative method for the levy of benefit assessment be made applicable to Maintenance District No. 183 - Santa Clara Convention Center Complex, 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
Adoption of the proposed resolution is the initial step necessary to set the annual budget for Maintenance District No. 183. 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
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 Maintenance District No. 183 - Santa Clara Convention Center Complex, which reflects 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 will be published in the May 27, 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.
