Why are there different levels of maintenance throughout the Landscape Maintenance District?
The city has tried to maintain a uniform level of maintenance throughout the landscaped areas. Under Assessment District law, the city can only use funds collected from property owners within a zone for costs associated directly and specifically with that zone. In some zone areas, the assessments allowed by law have not been sufficient to pay for basic maintenance costs; so, essentially, some zones have been “under funded”. This is especially true when considering the costs necessary to replace dying plants and trees, replace or repair vandalized equipment, or renovate older irrigation systems.
