SECTION 11800-11806
11800. As used in this chapter, the term "district" means the district within which lie the lands deemed by the legislative body to be benefited by the establishment of the pedestrian mall, the boundaries of which have been finally fixed and established pursuant to Section 11500, and in this event such district so established shall be the "district" within the meaning of this chapter even though the legislative body may have determined pursuant to Section 11505 that assessments shall not be levied as contemplated by Section 11202. 11801. If a district contemplated by Section 11800 has not been established pursuant to Section 11500, then the term "district" as used in this chapter means the district deemed by the legislative body to be benefited by the establishment of the pedestrian mall, the boundaries of which district have been finally fixed and established in the first proceeding taken for the improvement of the pedestrian mall pursuant to the Improvement Act of 1911, the Municipal Improvement Act of 1913 or any similar special assessment law. 11802. If a district has not been established as contemplated by either Section 11800 or Section 11801, this chapter shall not be applicable. 11803. Following the establishment of a pedestrian mall pursuant to this part and annually on or before June 30th, the legislative body may prepare and approve an estimate of the expenditures required during the ensuing fiscal year for the maintenance, operation, repair and improvement of the pedestrian mall and shall deduct from such estimate the amount of revenues, if any, which the legislative body estimates will accrue to the city during such year from the operation of the pedestrian mall. 11804. The legislative body may levy and collect in any year upon and against all of the taxable land and improvements within the district a special ad valorem assessment sufficient to raise a sum of money not exceeding the net amount determined pursuant to Section 11803 but the rate of assessment in any one year shall not exceed fifty cents ($0.50) on each one hundred dollars ($100) assessed value as shown on the assessment roll used by the city for city taxation. 11804.5. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 11804, the maximum rate which may be assessed by the legislative body of the City of Redding for the Redding Midtown Project No. 1, R-120 only, is two dollars ($2) on each one hundred dollars ($100) of assessed value. Assessments for such project shall only be levied on property located within the project. 11805. The special ad valorem assessment shall be levied, collected, and enforced at the same times, in the same manner, by the same officers, and with the same interest and penalties, as in the case of general taxes levied by the city. 11806. The proceeds of the assessment shall be placed in a separate fund of the city and shall be expended only for the maintenance, operation, repair or improvement of the pedestrian mall.
