The Los Angeles City Council has adopted an Ordinance of Intention to institute maintenance assessment proceedings for a street lighting project. This includes holding a public hearing for the proposed district diagram and conducting assessment ballot proceedings as required by Proposition 218. The Council will set a date for hearing appeals and the last day to receive completed assessment ballots. A hearing will be held by the Board of Public Works at least one week prior to the public hearing date to review and resolve any appeals concerning the proposed maintenance assessments.

"The process of determining maintenance assessments for each parcel is based on evaluating three areas of calculation which are relative to the amount of special benefit received. These areas of calculation are: equivalent dwelling units (EDU), benefit zones (rates), and adjustment factors.
Assessment Calculation for a Parcel
Assessment Cost= (Equivalent Dwelling Units) x (Benefit Zone Rate) x (Adjustment Factor)
