Why This Vote Matters

The council unanimously approved the annual maintenance plan for the Marina Bay Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District, allowing property owners in that area to be charged 3% more in special assessments for the 2025-2026 fiscal year. These assessments fund landscaping and street lighting upkeep specifically for the Marina Bay district. This is routine annual approval that the city must complete to continue maintaining the area through property owner fees rather than general city funds.
