Impact analysis
Any fix likely means a future rate increase requiring voter approval — currently rates stay at $102.18 per benefit factor for homes.
All parcel owners in the district benefit from street lighting, landscaping, and park maintenance.
Parks and medians get less frequent maintenance — about twice a year instead of monthly.

City Council - Jun 1, 2026
The council started the annual renewal of the Citywide and Oak Hills landscaping and lighting assessments, with hearings set July 20. Residents pay about $100 a year — flat for over 20 years — and the city subsidizes the districts about $1.8 million from the general fund; an increase discussion is planned for early next year.
