inclusive (each a "District" and collectively, the "Districts"); and
WHEREAS, this City Council has initiated proceedings to provide for the annual levy of
assessments for Fiscal Year 2023/24, to finance the costs and expenses necessary for continued
maintenance and servicing of improvements within each District; and
WHEREAS, at this time, there has been presented and approved by this City Council, a separate
report for each District identified by the distinctive designation of such District and entitled "Fiscal Year
2023/24 Annual Engineer's Report" (each, an "Annual Engineer's Report" and collectively, the "Annual

Council desires to conduct the proceedings to authorize the levy of the annual assessments within each
District; and
WHEREAS, the annual assessments for Fiscal Year 2023/24 proposed to be levied within each
