TO: Mayor and Town Council April 21, 2026
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 26-2026, dissolving Danville Landscaping and Lighting
Assessment District No. 1983-1
BACKGROUND
In 1983, the Town, acting pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 (Streets and
Highways Code Section 22500 et seq.), formed Danville Landscaping and Lighting
Assessment District No. 1983-1 (LLAD 1983-1). LLAD 1983-1 helped fund the maintenance
of street lights, roadside landscaping and parks and community facilities. Every property
in Town was included in LLAD No. 1983-1. Individual assessments varied based on the
degree of benefit to each property that was provided by the District.
In 2025, the property owners in Danville approved the formation of a new District, LLAD
No. 2025-1 to replace LLAD 1983-1. With approval of the new district, the District Engineer
informed the County Assessor that going forward only LLAD No. 2025-1 would levy
assessments. While LLAD No. 1983-1 is inactive, it is appropriate to dissolve it to remove
any potential confusion in future years.
DISCUSSION
The Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 provides the mechanism to dissolve districts.
Pursuant to Section 22610 of the Act, the Town Council adopted Resolution No. 24-2026 on
April 7, expressing the intent to dissolve the district. With that step completed, the Council
may now take the formal step of dissolving the district.
