SECTION 4. Improvements The developers of Tracts 13434, 13745 and 13282 have installed the roadway improvements along San Bernardino Avenue and Wabash Avenue respectively. These locations may be located on the reduced copies of the assessment diagrams included within this report. Roadway work is not presently underway at any other locations on the other developments in Landscape Maintenance District No 1 The landscaping improvements that were installed along the San Bernardino Avenue frontage of Tract 13434 have been accepted for maintenance by the City however the landscaping has deteriorated badly. The turfed areas need substantial work, probably total removal and replacement. The ground cover areas have eroded spots which need remedial repair. There are also several grafitti symbols on the block wall which need to be removed. The landscaping along Tracts 13745 and 13282 is in generally satisfactory condition and will be accepted for maintenance by the City during the 1989-90 fiscal year. The City Staff is presently developing procedures for inspection, acceptance and maintenance of the landscaping improvements. It is anticipated that the City Forester will be the individual assigned the overall responsibility. SECTION 5. Estimated Maintenance Costs It is anticipated that the City will contract for maintenance services on the landscaping improvements. The City's record - keeping will be required to be sufficiently accurate to detail the expenses so that these costs may be recaptured through assessments. Due to the restrictions placed upon municipal budgets through the passage of Jarvis -Gann and the lag between the time assessments are made and revenues are collected by the City, it is appropriate that assessments be made in advance of the anticipated expenditures to provide working capital for the maintenance effort This method will be used for all developments which have had final tract maps filed. In this case it is reasonable to expect these landscaping improvements to be completed within the 19E9-90 Fiscal Year.
