BACKGROUND/JUSTIFICATION:
Mecklenburg County participates in an assessment program to provide street lighting in order to increase safety in subdivisions. Homeowners in these subdivisions went through a rigorous petition process that qualified the subdivisions for funding in the form of a loan for the installation and operation of street lights. Homeowners are in turn assessed for these costs until the subdivisions are incorporated into the city limits. The public hearing is required by General Statutes and will allow property owners in these subdivisions to comment on the street lighting assessments for operating costs paid during the fiscal year 2018. After the close of the public hearing, the Board of County Commissioners will be asked to adopt the eight Resolutions authorizing the County Tax Collector’s Office to assess the property owners within these subdivisions, the cost of operating the street lighting fixtures in fiscal year 2018.
