reference is hereby made to a map of the exterior boundaries of
such real property now designated "Proposed Boundaries of
Assessment District No. 85-1," approved by the City Council and
now on file in the office of the City Clerk of the City of
Carson. The office of the City Clerk is located at City Hall,

and file with the City Clerk a report in writing, which shall
contain the following:

improvements if the improvements are not already installed.

or convenient for the operation of the improvements, if the
works, appliances, or property are to be acquired as part of
such proposed improvements.
C. An estimate of the cost of the improvements
and the cost of lands, rights of way, easements, and incidental
expenses in connection with the improvements, including the
cost of registering bonds.

time of passage of this Resolution, all of the following:

subdivisions, respectively, from such improvement. Such
assessment shall refer to the subdivisions by their respective
numbers as assigned pursuant to paragraph D of this Section 5.
Section 6. The City Council hereby determines that
it is in the public interest and more economical to eliminate
any disparity in levels or size between such proposed improve-
ments and private property on such private property, rather
than to adjust the work on public property to eliminate such
disparity.
Section 7. Provision is hereby made for the issuance
of improvement bonds pursuant to Chapter 7 of Division 12 of
the California Streets and Highways Code, commencing with Sec-
tion 10600.
Section 8. Notice is hereby given that serial bonds
to represent unpaid assessments, and bear interest at the rate
of not to exceed twelve percent (12%) per annum, payable semi-
annually, shall be issued hereunder in the manner provided by
Division 10 of the California Streets and Highways Code, and
the last installment of bonds shall mature nineteen (19), years
from the second day of September next succeeding twelve (12)
months after their date.

Section 9. The City Council hereby determines that
the principal amount of the bonds maturing each year shall be
other than an amount equal to an even annual proportion of the
aggregate principal of the bonds, and the amount of principal
maturing in each year plus the amount of interest payable in
that year shall be an aggregate amount that is equal each year,
except for the moneys falling due on the first series of the
bonds which shall be adjusted to reflect the amount of interest
earned from the date when the bonds bear interest to the date
when the first interest is payable on the bonds.
Section 10. With respect to the procedures for
collection of assessments and the advance retirement of bonds
in connection with Assessment District No. 85-1, the City
proposes to proceed under the provisions of Part 11.1 of Divi-
sion 10 of the California Streets and Highways Code.
Section 11. The City Council hereby designates the
City Treasurer to collect and receive the assessments.
Section 12. The City Council hereby determines that
the bonds issued to represent unpaid assessments may be
refunded under specified conditions by resolution. The City
Council hereby declares that such bonds may be refunded upon
determination by resolution of the City Council to do so. The
City Council may undertake such a refunding upon written
recommendation of a financial consultant that it is in the best
interests of the City to undertake such a refunding. Such
written recommendation shall include the reasons therefor. The
maximum interest rate on such refunding bonds shall not exceed
twelve percent per annum or such other maximum rate of interest
as then may be permitted by law. The maximum number of years
to maturity of the refunding bonds shall not exceed thirty-nine
years from the second day of September next succeeding ten
months from the date of the refunding bonds, or such other
maximum number of years to maturity as then may be permitted by
law. Any adjustment to assessments resulting from refunding
will be done on a pro rata basis.
Section 13. Any surplus moneys remaining in the
improvement fund after the completion of such proposed improve-
ments shall be disposed of in accordance with California
Streets and Highways Code Section 10427.
Section 14. In the opinion of the City Council, the
public interest will not be served by allowing property owners
to take a contract to perform the work.
Section 15. The City Council hereby declares that any
lot or parcel belonging to the United States, the State of
California, the County of Los Angeles or the City of Carson,
which is in use in the performance of any public function,
shall be omitted from the assessment to cover the costs and
expenses of the improvements described in Section 3, above.
