Title
Public Hearing: Action on a Resolution Approving the Levy of Benefit Assessment upon the City of Santa Clara Parking Maintenance District No. 122 - Franklin Square
Report
BACKGROUND
Parking Maintenance District No. 122 (PMD 122) was formed in 1965 for the parking lots, arcades, fountains, sidewalks, landscaping, irrigation, lights, and utilities within Franklin Square, which is bounded by Benton Street, Homestead Road (formerly known as Liberty Street), Monroe Street, and Jackson Street. There have been several changes in how maintenance and operation costs have been collected over the years.
