provide for ongoing adjustments to the assessments for inflation; and

proposed increase in assessments to be levied and to prepare and file a report with the City

218") (California Government Code section 53750 et seq.), (the 1972 Act, Article XIIID, and
Proposition 218 are collectively referred to as the "Assessment Law"); and
WHEREAS, if the levy of the proposed increase in assessments within the District are
not approved by the property owners, the existing District and assessments shall remain in
place and the City may continue to adjust services to match the revenues provided by the
existing District assessments; and
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga, DOES HEREBY
RESOLVE as follows:
1. The City Council hereby proposes to increase assessments and to levy
assessments within the District to pay for increased costs to service and maintain improvements

generally include: the landscaping and associated landscape lighting and irrigation systems
installed along the roadways, medians, and community trails; sidewalks; and 6 neighborhood

improvements are located within the street public rights-of-ways and dedicated public
easements which are within the boundaries of the District. All maintenance and service items
will be described in further detail in the Engineer's Report.
