The 380-parcel utility undergrounding assessment district passed by a weighted vote of impacted property owners on Tuesday. Construction work is set to begin in June.
The Laguna Beach City Council voted to decrease the minimum age to be eligible for the underground utility assessment deferment loan program from 62 to 55. The household income threshold will be set at 20% above the Orange County moderate income limit.
Each Woods Cove resident in the undergrounding district owes it to themselves to research the best possible vote for their property. Ten years ago, we embarked on this journey. There have been many fact-based meetings, emails, articles and submissions by the city to the website on this important issue.
I was saddened but not shocked to learn that our city government isn’t making much progress on improvements to either the transparency or courtesy fronts.
