BACKGROUND
The City of Redding has required and will continue to require the
formation of landscape-maintenance districts in conjunction with
the approval of subdivisions which are located on the City' s
arterial street system. These developments are required to
install landscapings within the public right-of way, including
all associated improvements such as irrigation systems and auto-
matic valve controls . The maintenance districts are thereafter
responsible for the yearly maintenance of the landscaping. The
issue is : Should the developer also pay all the existing water
and electric meter connection charges?

sibility of subdivision developers with respect to the provisions
of water and electric meters associated with landscape mainte-
nance districts .

er (s) of subdivisions , where landscape-maintenance districts are

shall pay all water and electric meter fees required to connect
to the City utility systems. Such fees include , but are not
limited to, meter fees, connections charges , development fees ,
benefit fees , and inspection fees.
PROCEDURE

tenance district formation is required shall specify that the
above fees shall be the responsibility of the developer.
