The cost of <br />maintaining the landscaping and administration of the District is assessed to the property owners <br />within the District. The landscape improvements designed for the project area are in excess of <br />normal City standards and the construction of the improvements has been funded by the <br />Riverwalk Assessment District. <br />Continuation of the Landscape District requires an annual Engineer's Report, which outlines the <br />landscaping expense and the proposed assessments for next fiscal year. The assessment <br />formula adopted in 2002 with the formation of the District provides for assessments that range <br />from a minimum of $150 to a maximum of $230 per single - family residential lot and from $750 to <br />$1,000 per acre of non - residential land. The assessments can be increased annually by an <br />amount not to exceed the increase in the Consumer Price Index (CPI). <br />21 -1 <br />
