BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
In July 2010, the West Washington Assessment District No. 2 (District) was formed to fund annual costs associated with three landscaped medians installed between Centinela and Boise Avenues. The District assessments require annual City Council approval.
On June 8, 2026, the City Council approved the Engineer’s Report, declared its intention to order the assessment levy and collect assessments and set the date, time and place for this hearing.
Pursuant to Section 15.01.070.H of the Culver City Municipal Code (CCMC), any interested person may file a written protest with the City Clerk (or withdraw a previously filed protest) until the conclusion of the Public Hearing. Pursuant to CCMC Section 15.01.070.K, the City Council shall not impose an increased assessment if there is a majority protest. The Engineer’s Report for Fiscal Year 2026/2027 does not propose an assessment increase that exceeds the voter approved maximum rate, which is adjusted annually in accordance with the Consumer Price Index. Therefore, the majority protest proceedings do not apply, and the City Council may, after receiving public comment, adopt the resolution confirming the assessment as determined by the Engineer’s Report.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
The Engineer’s Report for Fiscal year 2026/2027 estimates the proposed budget for annual maintenance costs for water, electricity, administrative services and landscape maintenance at approximately $49,156.75. Approximately $20,189.10 will be carried over from Fiscal Year 2025/2026 to fund lighting and landscape repairs. The proposed levy for Fiscal Year 2026/2027 is $28,967.41.
