Latest action: Approved by Climate & Infrastructure Committee
Tax-exempt organizations get a new annual bill Starting 2027, nonprofits, churches, schools, and other tax-exempt properties will be charged a fee for street light operation based on how many lights serve their area.
Shifts street light costs from all taxpayers Spreading the cost to tax-exempt organizations means regular homeowners and businesses may see smaller street light bills, since the total cost is now shared more widely.
Small nonprofits absorb a new operating cost Churches and smaller nonprofits already operating on tight budgets will face added yearly expenses, which could force cuts to programs or services if they can't absorb the fee.
Passage of Resolution adopting the assessments, levying the assessments, and adopting the assessment roll for the 2027 Street Light Operations Fee Assessment Project 1337L.
