Section 10100.8 Of Chapter 2. Improvements Authorized From California Streets And Highways Code >> Division 12. >> Chapter 2.
10100.8
. (a) Following the levy of an assessment pursuant to this
division to pay, in whole or in part, the costs and expenses of
constructing or substantially reconstructing works, systems, or
facilities after January 1, 1985, upon a district benefited thereby,
and annually on or before June 30th, the legislative body may prepare
and approve an estimate of the expenditures required during the
ensuing fiscal year for the maintenance, repair, and improvement of
the works, systems, or facilities.
(b) The legislative body, may, by resolution adopted at a public
hearing, determine to levy and collect in any year upon and against
all of the taxable land and improvements within the district a
special assessment sufficient to raise a sum of money not to exceed
the amount estimated pursuant to subdivision (a).
(c) The special assessment shall be levied, collected, and
enforced at the same time, in the same manner, by the same officers,
and with the same interest and penalties, as in the case of other
special assessments levied pursuant to this division by the city. The
proceeds of the assessment shall be placed in a separate fund of the
city and shall be expended only for the maintenance, repair, or
improvement of the works, systems, or facilities.
(d) For purposes of this section, "maintenance, repair, and
improvement" shall include all expenses incurred to keep the work,
system, or facility in fit operating condition which are ordinarily
incurred no more frequently than every five years, except that
expenses which are ordinarily incurred at lesser intervals may be
included if the legislative body finds that the expenses have to be
incurred in order to maintain the level of benefit to the assessed
parcels and that the level of benefit would otherwise decline more
rapidly than usual for other public works of the type involved
because of circumstances which do not ordinarily affect these public
works.
