Report
Summary
The City Council authorized formation of the Downtown EMSD in 1990 to provide enhanced public services above and beyond the level of services provided in the remainder of the City. The costs for EMSD services are paid through assessments on property owners within the EMSD.
The proposed 2018 Downtown EMSD Diagram (2018 Diagram) indicates the properties to be assessed and is on file in the office of the Director of the Street Transportation Department in the City of Phoenix. The proposed assessments and 2018 Diagram are based on the estimate of expenses and property data available as of May 18, 2017. The proposed 2018 Diagram was completed on June 2, 2017. Per A.R.S. 48-575(d) the 2018 Diagram shows each separate lot numbered consecutively, the area in square feet of each lot and the area in square feet of any building or buildings located on each lot.
Public streets, alleys, and property utilized for residential purposes that do not benefit by the enhanced public services are excluded from this proposed 2018 Diagram.
This Request for Council Action includes a Resolution approving the 2018 Downtown EMSD Diagram.
Financial Impact
No financial impact for approving the 2018 Diagram.
