Landscape maintenance fee correction
In today's article about landscape maintenance district fees, I made a mistake in describing potential future increases.
If majority of voters support an increase in landscape maintenance fees, the fee will not automatically increase every year. The fees will only increase if the maintenance costs increase and that will be capped at 3.5 percent. According to Deputy City Manager John Gillison, it's common for the city to get maintenance contracts with prices locked in for several years. In that case, the fees would not go up for the property owner.
