Re: Adoption of Resolution Appointing an Engineer-of-Work and an Attorney-of-Record for Island City Landscaping and Lighting District 84-2.
BACKGROUND
On June 7, 1984, the City Council established the Island City Landscaping and Lighting District 84-2. The purpose of this assessment district is to provide enhanced maintenance in certain business or neighborhood zones throughout the City. This work, which varies among the zones within the districts, includes regular litter collection, landscape maintenance of the medians and planters, and sidewalk cleaning.
