Description/History
The City established the South Pointe Public Improvement District in calendar year 2016 for the purpose of maintaining the City’s improved public area and improved rights of way. The area includes substantially enhanced open space, walk ways, greenbelts, lakes and enhanced bridges which require maintenance. Since the inception of the Public Improvement District, the City has contracted for the maintenance of this public space through a Property Management Company and has worked with the Developer of South Pointe to select a Property Management Company to maintain the property. The Developer has been financially obligated to pay for the maintenance costs of the Public Improvement District until the Public Improvement District is able to pay for the costs of maintaining the area. Neighborhood Management, Inc., the Property Management Company, fee is $1,500 per month which will be shared equally with the Home Owners Association of South Pointe.
Justification
Contracting the management for the maintenance costs of the South Pointe Public Improvement District, allows for greater efficiencies in servicing the public space in the South Pointe Public Improvement District. These efficiencies include cost savings by eliminating the need for additional City staff and allows for the Property Management Company to maintain and improve the property through contracted services. Responsibilities of the Property Management Company generally include maintaining the landscaping, maintaining the lake areas, and servicing the property owner’s concerns and requests regarding the public space.
Funding Source
South Pointe Public Improvement District Annual Assessment which occurs in October of the calendar year.
