SUBJECT: Consider Budget Amendment for Villa Campesina Park
BACKGROUND
Initially, maintenance activities at Villa Campesina Park were
funded through an annual assessment, levied on Villa Campesina
homeowners, and established as a Zone of Benefit (AD 84 -2, Zone
12). With the establishment of the newly formed park maintenance
assessment district in June 1999, which included Villa Campesina
Park, the City Council took action to discontinue the assessment
for Zone 12. Currently, Zone 12 has a fund balance of
approximately $5,000 and the Council is being asked to consider
the purchase of two picnic tables to be funded from this source.
DISCUSSION
At the time Villa Campesina Park was constructed, the City was
facing a short -fall in funds available to maintain its parks.
Proposition 218 had just been approved by California voters, and
the City was aware that its former park maintenance district
would shortly be discontinued. As a result, the homeowners in
Villa Campesina approved the establishment of a Zone of Benefit
(AD 84 -2) set up to collect revenue to fund the Park's
maintenance. The initial assessment levied was $60.00 annually.
At the time the Zone of Benefit was established, the City
Council stated that if a new park assessment district was later
formed, it would include Villa Campesina Park in the district
and the Zone of Benefit would be discontinued.
When the Park was constructed, the developer did not have
sufficient funds to purchase the type of park amenities which
are typically included in the City's neighborhood park. The

only amenity that was purchased were two barbecue stands.
Additionally, two concrete pads were constructed on which
picnic tables would be mounted in the future.
With the passage of the newly established Parks and Recreation
Maintenance and Improvement District, the City Council
discontinued the assessment levied on the Villa Campesina
homeowners. There is approximately $5,000 remaining in the Zone
12 fund balance, which can only be spent on Villa Campesina
Park. Once the Zone 12 fund balance is completely depleted, the
account for Zone 12 will be closed.
To enhance the Park and provide convenient picnic facilities,
staff and the Parks and Recreation Commission proposed the
purchase of two picnic tables using funds from the Zone 12 fund
balance, at a cost not to exceed $2,000. This would leave a
fund balance of approximately $3,000. The proposed tables would
be concrete and similar in type to those installed in other City
parks. The remaining fund balance will be transferred to the
new Park Maintenance Assessment District, to consolidate
accounts. Combined with future park development fees, the
balance will be applied towards funding future improvements for
Villa Campesina Park.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff and the Parks and Recreation Commission recommend that the
City Council approve the purchase of two concrete picnic tables
for Villa Campesina Park, and adopt Resolution No. 99- which
amends the FY 1999/00 Budget by appropriating $2,000 from
Assessment District 84 -2 (Zone 12). (Roll Call Vote)
