Article III — Public and Private Property

If any lot or parcel of land belonging to the United States or to the State or to any county, city public agent, mandatory of the government, school board, educational, penal or reform institution or institution for the feeble-minded or the insane, is in use in the performance of a public function and fronts upon the proposed work or is included within the district to be assessed to pay the costs and expenses thereof, the legislative body may, in the resolution of intention, declare that such lots or parcels of land or any of them shall be omitted from the assessment thereafter to be made to cover the costs and expenses of the work.

(Ord. 859 § 70; Formerly § 16-28)

If any lots or parcels of land are omitted from the assessment, the total expense of all work done shall be assessed on the remaining lots or parcels of land fronting on the work or lying within the limits of the assessment district, without regard to such omitted lots or parcels of land. (Ord. 859 § 71; Formerly § 16-29)

If the City Council, in the resolution of intention, declares that any lot or parcel of land so owned and used shall be included in the assessment, then the City shall be liable for such sums as may thereafter be so assessed excepting for such portions as it shall by agreement collect from the entity owning the same. When such property is subject to assessment as provided in Section 5302.5 of the Streets and Highways Code of the State, the provisions thereof shall apply.

(Ord. 859 § 72; Formerly § 16-30)

Property owned or used by any privately owned public utility shall be assessed in the same manner as other property in the district.

(Ord. 859 § 73; Formerly § 16-31)
