Reduced Funding and Services for Specific LLMDs

Nine of the City's LLMDs have experienced increased expenses over the last few years while the yearly assessments have remained the same. If these landscaping services continue to be maintained at the current level, the cost will considerably outweigh available funds, resulting in a funding shortfall for the district.

To avoid a shortfall, the annual landscape maintenance service contracts for the following LLMDs are being reduced:

• Rolling Hills LLMD No. 7
• Paradise Valley LLMD No. 11
• North Cordelia LLMD No. 13
• Gateway LLMD No. 1
• Waterman Highlands LLMD No. 3
• Smith Ranch (Rancho Solano) LLMD No. 5
• Peppertree LLMD No. 6 
• Kolob Estates LLMD No. 8 
• Downtown Business District LLMD No. 12

On May 3, 2022, a short-term General Fund loan was approved by City Council for LLMDs No. 7 (Rolling Hills), 11 (Paradise Valley), & 13 (North Cordelia) to fund the shortfall and restore service levels comparable to FY 2020/21.  The loans were issued at 0% interest with a five-year repayment term.  Please click here to learn more about the service level and the repayment of the loan..

The City is currently proposing a short-term General Fund loan for similarly affected LLMDs No. 1 (Gateway), 3 (Waterman Highlands), 6 (Peppertree), & 12 (Downtown) to prevent a service reduction. If accepted by the property owners, the loan would be issued at 0% interest with a five-year repayment term.

No loans have been considered for LLMDs No. 5 (Smith Ranch) and 8 (Kolob Estates).
