Special Assessment Districts: Approaches for
Achieving Successful Outcomes
September 18, 2014
UC Davis Extension Sutter Square Galleria, Sacramento, CA
Agenda | Slides
In recent years special assessments have been subjected to legal challenges based on interpretations and applications of Proposition 218. The court decisions that resulted from these challenges have placed communities in a state of uncertainty and led to a decline in the use of this tool to pay for public maintenance and capital improvement projects. This seminar considers the implications of the court’s actions, how practicing assessment engineers and other public finance professionals have responded, and the opportunities to use assessment districts in the future.
