A. The city council may, in its resolution declaring its intention to order work done or improvements made, or it may, by separate resolution, declare its intention to order that the costs and expenses of maintaining and operating any or all public improvements of a local nature, including the cost of necessary repairs, replacements, fuel, power, electrical current, care, supervision, and any or all other items necessary for the proper maintenance and operation thereof, shall be assessed, either partly or wholly, upon such district as the city council determines will be benefited by the maintenance and operation of the public improvements proposed to be maintained; the amounts so assessed to be collected in the same manner and by the same county officers as the taxes are collected for general city purposes.

B. The council may classify various areas within a maintenance assessment district into different zones where, by reason of variations in the nature, location and extent of improvements, the various areas will receive differing degrees of benefit from the improvements. A zone shall consist of all territory which will receive substantially the same degree of benefit from the improvements and shall be described in the resolution of intention preceding formation of any maintenance district or, if an established district is to be divided into two or more zones, such zone shall be described in the notice of the annual hearing prescribed in Section 13.04.210(B). Where in this chapter the term “district” is used, said term includes each zone within such district provided such zones were created at the time the district was originally established during or following an annual hearing held pursuant to Section 13.04.210. (Ord. 3280 § 1, 1990; Ord. 2573 § 2, 1980; prior code § 18.04.080)
