Why This Vote Matters
The council unanimously approved the annual engineer's report that determines how much Hilltop residents will pay for landscape maintenance in their neighborhood next year. This routine administrative action allows the city to continue collecting special fees from Hilltop property owners to maintain landscaping, trees, and other greenery in their area. The fees are calculated based on how much benefit each property receives from the maintenance services.
