DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND:
It has been determined during the budget process that the fund balance for Indian Meadows Subdivision Municipal Service Benefit Unit (MSBU) for Street Lighting is not sufficient to sustain the funds beyond FY 2028-29. These funds are being used for street lighting within this subdivision.
Currently, the FY 2025-26 annual projected operating revenue will generate approximately $2,592 (factoring in early payment discounts), with projected expenditures of $3,213. Increasing the assessment from $55 to $70 will increase the revenue to $3,299 annually, which will begin increasing the fund balance and provide the same level of service for the next eight years.
Based on this analysis and discussions with the Marion County Budget Director, staff is recommending an increase from the current annual rate of $55 to $70 for the upcoming FY 2026-27 Budget.
BUDGET/IMPACT:
Estimated annual expenditure of $3,310
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Recommended action
Motion to approve Resolution for the Indian Meadows Subdivision MSBU for Street Lighting establishing a Special Assessment Rate and adopting an estimated per Parcel Assessment Revenue for the Indian Meadows Subdivision MSBU for Street Lighting.
