This is a request for City Council to re-approve a Petition for Formation, adopt the Resolution of Intention, and Resolution Ordering the Improvements for a proposed Maintenance Improvement District No. 1187, 3 Olive Park, located on Olive Avenue & 103^rd Avenue, previously approved by Council on January 5, 2016, CC# 10C, as well as authorize the City Clerk to record the Maintenance Improvement District with the Maricopa County Recorder’s Office subject to the following stipulations:

1.  All civil and landscape/irrigation plans must be approved by the City of Peoria (City) prior to recordation of the Maintenance Improvement District;

 2.  The amended final plat for the subdivision must be approved by City Council and recorded with the Maricopa County Recorder’s Office prior to recordation of the Maintenance Improvement District; and

3.  The developer must provide a fully executed Petition, Waiver and Consent to Formation of a Municipal Improvement District.

The purpose of the Maintenance Improvement District is for the operations, maintenance, repair and improvements to landscaping adjacent to designated public roadways and parkways within the proposed district, as well as drainage and retention within each proposed district. Until such time as the Homeowner’s Association fails, and the Council directs City staff to assume maintenance responsibility, a line item of $0.00 will display on the homeowners’ property tax bills.

Pursuant to the provision of A.R.S. 48-574, et. seq., the Mayor and Council are empowered to adopt a Resolution ordering the formation of a Maintenance Improvement District.  A Petition and Resolution of Intention are attached for formation of City of Peoria Maintenance Improvement District No. 1187, 3 Olive Park, Olive Avenue & 103^rd Avenue.  In the case in which all of the property owners have presented a petition for formation, the ordinary publication and protest period are not required by law; the Council may then adopt a Resolution ordering the improvements when necessary once the Resolution of Intention is first adopted. The Resolution Ordering the improvements finalizes the formation of the Maintenance Improvement District process.

A: The Maintenance Improvement District has been re-approved through the Development and Engineering Department.  An option would be to not accept the proposed Maintenance Improvement District. It should be noted that not re-approving the Maintenance Improvement District will prevent any charges from being assessed on the property tax bills for those properties located within the District, and any and all fees incurred by the City of Peoria as a result of assuming the maintenance responsibility would be paid using City of Peoria funds.
