CITY COUNCIL AGENDA RE
TO: The Honorable City Council
FROM: Mary K. Lindley, Director of Community Services,'
DATE: April 9, 1999 (CC Meeting of April 14, 1999)
SUBJECT: Consider Approval of Resolution No. 99 -_, Approving
the Assessment Engineer's Report, the Parks and
Recreation Maintenance and Improvement Assessment
District Mail Ballot, and Date for Public Hearing
SUMMARY
The City Council is being asked to approve the Assessment
Engineer's Report (bound and separately provided with Agenda
Report), which contains the methodology and formula for
apportioning the property assessment. Additionally, the Council
is being presented with the proposed ballot for approval, which
will be mailed to all Moorpark property owners. The ballot
contains information about the purpose and use of the assessment
and the assessment rate. Property owners have 45 days in which
to return their ballots. The ballots will be tabulated at the
Public Hearing tentatively scheduled for June 16.
This is not an election. Under SB 919, which was adopted in
1997 and serves to prescribe specific procedures of Proposition
218, Section 2. (amending the Elections Code), it states that
'when an assessment ballot proceeding is conducted by mail ... the
following rules shall apply: (A) The proceeding shall be
denominated an `assessment ballot proceeding' rather than an
election." The mail ballot process is very similar to the
process used by the City with the establishment and maintenance
of its former Park Maintenance Assessment District (AD85 -1).
The Council has indicated its intent to initiate an assessment
and property owners are provided with an opportunity to support
or oppose the proposed action. If a majority of the ballots
Park Assessment District
Page 2
returned are in support of the assessment, the City Council will
have the authority to proceed with the formation of the Parks
and Recreation Maintenance and Improvement Assessment District.
BACKGROUND
In 1985, Assessment District 85 -1 was formed for the purpose of
operating and maintaining parks. The District was disbanded in
June, 1998, after the implementation of Proposition 218 and its
new balloting requirements.
On November 4, 1998, the City Council indicated its intent to
re- establish the Parks Assessment District. The Council also
awarded a contract to Shilts Consultants to prepare the required
Engineer's Report and to provide mail ballot planning and
implementation services at a cost not to exceed $55,000 ($14,000
of which is for administration if the City proceeds with the
formation of the assessment district).
On February 3, 1999, the City Council adopted a Resolution
initiating the proceedings for the formation of a Parks and
Recreation Maintenance and Improvement District. Adoption of
the Resolution was required by Article XIIID of the California
Constitution and the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972 of the
Streets and Highway Code. With the adoption of the Resolution,
the Council indicated its intent to re- establish the Park
Assessment. Under Proposition 218, property owners will now be
given an opportunity to express support or opposition to the
assessment proposed by the City Council.
DISCUSSION
The City Council is being presented with the Engineer's Report
for consideration and approval. By approving the Engineer's
Report, the Council will be establishing the assessment rate,
the formula used to spread the assessment, and the City's
contribution for the maintenance and improvement of parks. The
proposed boundaries for the Parks and Recreation Maintenance and
Improvement District contains all properties within the City's
boundaries.
The proposed Assessment District includes all existing 14 City
parks. It is intended to include the proposed park planned for
the Specific Plan 92 -1 (Carlsberg) once it has been constructed

f � I 0 _

Page 3
and the maintenance period has expired. Additionally, the
property within Specific Plan 92 -1 would be assessed as would
all other properties.
The Engineer's Report contains a determination regarding the
percentage of benefit deemed 'special" and the percentage deemed
'general" generated from the maintenance and improvement of City
parks and recreation facilities. The percentage figure
identified by the Engineer is 25 percent 'general" benefit and
75 percent 'special" benefit. This percentage is then applied to
the total Parks budget. Under Proposition 218, the City can
only assess property owners for the portion of the budget
related to 'special" benefits. Although 75 percent is
identified as providing 'special" benefit, it is proposed that
property owners be assessed for approximately 52 percent of the
total park maintenance budget to maintain a Single Family
Equivalent (SFE) rate that is close in amount to the rate of the
former Park Assessment District (AD85 -1).
Additionally, the Report identifies all
by type. A value has been assigned for
with single family residential having a
for all other property types is assignec
equivalent value is based on a formula
number of people who could potentially
otherwise use a property. Specifically,
values as follows:

In regards to undeveloped vacant property, the Engineer is
recommending a three tiered rate structure. Vacant property
will be assessed at a single family equivalent of .25 SFE. Once
a development application and engineering plans have been
submitted for vacant property, it will be assessed at a single
family equivalent of .35 of the developed rate, and vacant

property for which development has been approved will have a
single family equivalent of .65 of the developed rate until
fully developed.
Proposed Park Maintenance and Improvement Budget
Addressed in the Engineer's Report and separately attached to
the Agenda Report (Attachment C) is the proposed FY 1999/00 Park
Maintenance and Improvement Budget. Total proposed expenditures
are approximately $866,914. The Engineer's Report addresses the
estimated revenue to be generated by the assessment
(approximately $447,184) if the assessment rate is approved as
recommended. Additionally, the report identifies the City's
contribution, which includes a portion of the expenditures
associated with "special" benefits and all expenditures
associated with "general" benefits. This proposed contribution
equals approximately 48 percent of the total budget and would be
funded from the General Fund and the Park Improvement Fund. This
is recommended in an effort to keep the SFE at about the same
level as the former Assessment District rate.
For comparison, the FY 1998/99 park budget was approximately
$659,000, of which approximately $614,800 was for operational
expenditures and funded from the City's General Fund. The
remaining budget amount ($85,200) was for capital expenditures
and funded from the Park Improvement Fund. These figures exclude
the AVCP tennis courts.
The proposed FY 1999/00 budget figure of $866,914 includes some
expenditures that, in the past, were funded from the General
Fund in other division budgets, and therefore they do not
represent new expenditures. Additionally there is approximately
$124,000 for capital improvements which is proposed to come
from the Park Improvement Fund, except for a contribution of
$20,000 from the General Fund.
The City Council is not being asked to formally adopt the Park
Maintenance budget at this time. There will be an opportunity
to make some adjustments as a part of the regular budget
process. However, any future budget adjustments cannot impact
the assessment amount.
As in the past, expenditures for each park are separately
identified in the budget. For the most part, the budget is
\ \MOR PRI SERV \home folders \MLindley \Assessment \engineer report.agd.doc
0U43 (-Y,�i
Park Assessment District
Page 5
consistent with past park maintenance budgets with some
exceptions. Funding has been added to reopen Monte Vista Nature
Park. It is estimated that operational costs for Monte Vista is
approximately $6,000. Additionally, it is proposed that the
level of service provided under the City's landscape maintenance
contract be re- established to include fertilizations six times a
year and service on days when it rains (estimated to cost
$15,000). The City Council made cuts in these areas in FY
1998/99 in an attempt to address the loss of the original park
assessment. Also, it is recommended that some funds be
budgeted to perform landscape enhancements, above and beyond
routine maintenance, to replace dead and damaged vegetation when
necessary. The City has not specifically budgeted for this type
of work in the past
Additionally, $4,140 has been included for the maintenance and
operation of Villa Campesina Park. Villa Campesina property
owners currently pay a property assessment of $60.00 annually,
through the Landscape Parkway and Median Assessment District
(AD84 -2) as a Zone of Benefit, to maintain and operate the Park.
Previous action by the City Council directed that in the event a
Park Assessment District was formed, the City would include
Villa Campesina Park. If the proposed Park and Recreation
Maintenance and Improvement Assessment District is approved,
Villa Campesina Park will be removed from AD84 -2, and the
current $60.00 assessment paid by the Villa Campesina property
owners will be discontinued.
The Park Maintenance budget contains $4,300 for costs associated
with the Community Center Park. In the past, the Community
Center Park was been included in the City's facilities budget
and funded from the General Fund. Staff believes it is more
appropriate to fund the Park in the Park Maintenance Budget.
This does not represent a new expense, but simply a transfer
from another budget account.
The proposed budget contains a portion of the director's and
Department secretary's salary (25% each). This expenditure
(approximately $30,000) is not new, but has simply been moved
from the Community Services Administration budget to parks
budget to better isolate the cost of maintaining parks. It does
not create an additional cost to the City's overall budget. In
addition, $20,000 has been included to the parks budget to cover
City overhead costs. Expenses for City overhead are distributed
\ \MOR PRI SERV \home folders \MLindley \Assessment \engineer report.agd.doc
4,U (311103
Park Assessment District
Page 6
to each Department based on the number of employees. A portion
of Community Service's overhead associated with park maintenance
has been calculated and assigned to that division. Again, this
is not a new expenditure. In previous years, this expenditure
was assigned to the Community Services Administration budget.
Also, in the proposed budget $124,000 has been designated for
park improvements. Based on the recommendation of the Parks and
Recreation Commission and staff, it is proposed that FY 1999/00
capital improvements include playground equipment replacement
for Peach Hill and Campus Canyon Parks, and the replacement of
wooden benches at Griffin Park. It is proposed by staff, that
funds in the amount of $74,000 be transferred from the Park
Improvement Fund for Zone 3 (Campus Canyon and Griffin Parks)
and $30,000 from Zone 4 (Peach Hill Park) to the Park
Maintenance Budget to assist in funding a portion of the capital
improvements. Proceeding with park improvements is an important
component of the Assessment District's activities. A successful
Assessment District will allow the City the ability to provide
park amenities that meet safety and ADA standards, as well as
meet the on -going demand for sports fields and courts, open
space, and family picnic facilities. Since a number of the
City's Park Improvement Zones have no available funding and no
new funding is anticipated in zones where build -out has
occurred, the City must identify other ongoing revenue sources
(staff is also looking at the feasibility of redrawing zone
boundaries). It is appropriate that the Park Maintenance and
Improvement Assessment District be the source for a portion of
future improvements.
Lastly, the cost for the assessment engineer has been included
in the park budget ($55,000). Under Proposition 218, assessment
formation and administration costs can be included in the
assessment levied. In future years, cost associated with
administration of the park assessment should decrease by
approximately $30,000.

While the total proposed additions to the Park Maintenance
budget are $258,440, by implementing some efficiencies, the
proposed FY 1999/00 budget only represents an actual increase of
approximately $207,914 over the FY 1998/99 budget. Of that
amount, $54,300 represents expenditures that have been moved
from other general fund budgets, and therefore they have no net
increase on the City's total budget. It is also proposed that
$104,000 from the Park Improvement Fund be transferred to assist
with the proposed park improvements.
Assessment Rate
Under Proposition 218, the City only can assess property owners
for a portion of the maintenance and improvement of parks that
generates a "special" benefit. The portion determined to
generate a "general" benefit must be funded from sources other
than Assessment District revenue. Based on the Engineer's
finding that 25 percent of the benefits conferred by the
maintenance and improvement of parks is "general" in nature, and
75 percent is "special ", the potential amount of the proposed
\ \MOR PRI SERV \home folders \MLindley \Assessment \engineer report.agd.doc
O CI "j
Park Assessment District
Page 8
budget that could legally be assessed to property owners under
Proposition 218 is $650,185. If property owners were fully
assessed for this amount, the SFE would be approximately $56.70.
Historically, the City has contributed funds to park maintenance
activities, as was done with the former Park Assessment
District, in an effort to minimize the property assessment
amount. Prior to disbanding the Park Assessment District in
June 1998, property owners were paying a SFE of $41.16.
The Engineer is recommending that the City Council approve a
rate of $39.00 per SFE. If approved, this rate would generate
approximately $447,184. Under this proposal, the City would
cover the remaining portion of the budget associated with the
"special" benefit, approximately $203,001, in addition to the
"general" benefit portion of $216,729. This would make the
City's total contribution $419,730.
As stated above, $158,300 of the City's total contribution
results in no net increase to the General Fund since $54,300
represents expenditures that will be transferred from another
General Fund budget and it is proposed that $104,000 in
expenditures be funded from the Park Improvement Fund. This
would bring the City's total estimated contribution from the
General Fund to approximately $261,430.

\ \MOR PRI SERV \home folders \MLindley \Assessment \engineer report.agd.doc
(A) VI C 11
Park Assessment District
Page 9
$170,000 from the General Fund towards park maintenance
activities. When park related expenditures from other General
Fund divisions proposed for transfer are included, past General
Fund contributions were actually closer to $220,000. In FY
1998/99, the General Fund covered all park maintenance
operational activities (non capital) at a cost of approximately
$614,800.
Lastly, the Engineer's Report includes a recommendation that the
assessment rate be subject to an annual adjustment tied to the
Engineering News Record Construction Cost Index for the Los
Angeles Area as of December of each year. The proposed
adjustment would be capped not to exceed 3 percent annually.
Assessment District Ballot
The Ballot (Attachment B), which the Council is being asked to
approve, meets all of the legal requirements of Proposition 218.
Information is provided about the assessment rate, how the
assessment rate was calculated, purpose of the assessment,
method of voting and how votes will be tabulated (weighted), and
the date for the Public Hearing (June 16).
The City Council should note that if significant changes are
made to the Engineer's Report requiring changes to the mail
ballot (changes to the rate formula and methodology), it is
conceivable that Shilts Consultants will be unable to prepare
the ballot within the timeline that would allow the City to
tabulate the ballots on June 16. In that case, the Council
would need to select an alternative date to hold the Public
Hearing.
RECObMNDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 99-
(Attachment A) approving the Engineer's Report and
assessment amount contained within, mail ballot, and Notice of
Public Hearing.

Why Did You Receive Aus Ballot?
The City of Moorpark currently maintains 13 neighborhood
parks and l community park far the community . Before 1998,
your parks were maintained and improved in part by an
assessmem paid by property owners. However, Proposition
218, a new Iawpased in 1996, required that srh assessmeits
must be cancelled unless they are supported by property
owners in a mailed ballot proceeding
As a result, the City stopped the assessment and has been
paying for a reduced level ofpuk maintenance with its reserve
fiads. In addition, Monte Vista Nature Park was closed.
By Juitc, the City's available reserves will be used up and no
other funding sources are available Therefore, without this
assessnmt fariding for maintenance and mpiovmtenofpul¢
and recreational facilities will significantly decrease, and
additional tits in park maintenance will be required
With input from local residents, the City Council has decided
to ask property owners ifthey would support the reinstatement
ofthe assessments beguvung with fiscal yew 1999.00
Why Are We Having 77s is Ballot Proceeding?
Proposition 218 specifies that property owners mast determine

I. INTRODUCTION
The City of Moorpark (the "City') currently provides park facilities and recreation programs
for approximately 28,000 residents. The City currently owns, operates and maintains 13
neighborhood parks and one community park, which are located throughout the developed
areas of the City. (For general locations of the City's park facilities, see the Diagram
following in this Report.) The City's parks are summarized as follows:
❖ Arroyo Vista Community Park and Recreational Center, (69 developed
acres), located near the intersection of Countrywood Drive and Tierra Rejada
Road.
•:• Campus Canyon Neighborhood Park, (6 acres), located at Collins Dr. and
Hearon Drive.
❖ Campus Park Neighborhood Park, (2.5 acres), located on the corner of
Hartford St. and Harvard Street.
❖ Community Center Park, (.5 acres), 799 Moorpark Avenue.
•:• Country Trail Neighborhood Park, (8 acres), located off Countrywood Drive
and Mountain Trail.
•:• Glenwood Neighborhood Park, (4.5 acres), located on the comer of Tierra
Rejada Rd. and Harvester Street.
❖ Griffin Neighborhood Park, (5 acres), located on at the intersection of
Campus Park Drive and College View Avenue.
❖ Monte Vista Nature Park, (5 acres), located on Spring Road.
❖ Mountain Meadows Neighborhood Park, (8 acres), located off Mountain
Meadow Street, near Tierra Rejada Road.
•:• Peach Hill Neighborhood Park, (10 acres), located on Peach Hill Rd. and
Christian Barrett Drive.
• Poindexter Neighborhood Park, (7.5 acres), located on Poindexter Ave.,
west of Chaparral Middle School.
•:• Tierra Rejada Neighborhood Park, (8 acres), located at the intersection of
Tierra Rejada Road and Mountain Trail.
❖ Virginia Colony Park, (1 acre), located at the intersection of Los Angeles
Place and Condor Drive.
❖ Villa Campesina Park, (.5 acre), located at Liberty Bell Road.
Prior to 1997, the City funded the majority of the costs for maintenance and improvement of
park facilities with an assessment supported by property owners. With the passage of
Proposition 218 on November 6, 1996, such an assessment could not be continued unless
it is approved by a weighted majority of ballots submitted in an assessment ballot
City of Moorpark Parks Maintenance and Recreation Improvement District 04108199
Engineer's Report, Fiscal Year 1999 -00, by Shilts Consultants, Inc. Page 1
proceeding. As a result, the City discontinued the park maintenance assessment and has
funded a reduced level of park maintenance with reserve funds. The City's available
reserve funds for this purpose have been depleted and no other funding source has been
identified. Therefore, the City is proposing the reestablishment of an assessment district to
fund park maintenance services as well as expanding and improving park facilities to meet
the growing demand placed on City parks by Moorpark families, employees and youth
sports organizations.
This Engineer's Report ( "Report") was prepared to establish the budget for the services
that would be funded by the proposed 1999 -00 assessments and to determine the benefits
received from the park maintenance and improvements by property within the City of
Moorpark and the method of assessment apportionment to lots and parcels within the City.
This Report and the proposed assessments have been made pursuant to the Landscaping
and Lighting Act of 1972, Part 2 of Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code
(the "Act ") and Article XIIID of the California Constitution (the "Article "). For a more
complete description of the Act and the Article, please refer to Appendix A and Appendix B.
Following submittal of this Report to the City of Moorpark City Council (the "Council ") for
preliminary approval, the Council may, by Resolution, call for an assessment ballot
proceeding, and Public Hearing on the proposed reestablishment of the assessments for
park maintenance and recreational facility improvements.
If the Council approves such Resolution, a notice of assessment and assessment ballot will
be mailed to property owners within the City at least 45 days prior to the date of the Public
Hearing. Such notice would include a description of the proposed assessments as well as
an explanation of the method of voting on the assessments. Each notice would also
include a detachable postage prepaid ballot on which the property owner could mark his or
her approval or disapproval of the proposed assessments.
After the ballots are mailed to property owners in the City, a minimum 45 -day time period
must be provided for the return of the assessment ballots. Following this 45 -day time
period, a public hearing must be held for the purpose of allowing public testimony regarding
the proposed assessments. This hearing is scheduled for June 16, 1999 at 7:00 p.m. At
this hearing, the public would have the opportunity to speak on this issue and returned
ballots would be tabulated.
If it is determined at the public hearing that the assessment ballots submitted in opposition
to the proposed assessments do not exceed the assessment ballots submitted in favor of
the assessments (weighted by the proportional financial obligation of the property for which
ballots are submitted) the Council may take action to approve the levy of the assessments
for fiscal year 1999 -00. If the assessments are so confirmed and approved, the levies
would be submitted to the County Auditor /Controller by August 1999 for inclusion on the
property tax roll for Fiscal Year 1999 -00.

V. METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT
A. Method of Apportionment
This section of the Engineer's Report includes an explanation of the benefits to be
derived from the installation, maintenance and servicing of park facilities throughout the
City, and the methodology used to apportion the total assessment to properties within
the Parks Maintenance and Recreational Improvement District.
The Parks & Recreation Maintenance and Improvement District consists of all Assessor
Parcels within the boundaries of the City of Moorpark as defined by the County of
Ventura tax code areas. The parcels include all privately or publicly owned parcels
within said boundaries. The method used for apportioning the assessment is based
upon the proportional special benefits to be derived by the properties in the Parks &
Recreation Maintenance and Improvement District over and above general benefits
conferred on real property or to the public at large. The apportionment of special benefit
is a two step process: the first step is to identify the types of special benefit arising from
the improvements, and the second step is to allocate the assessments to property based
on the estimated relative special benefit for each type of property.
B. Discussion of Benefrt
In summary, the assessments can only be levied based on the special benefit to
property. This benefit is received by property over and above any general benefits.
Moreover, such benefit is not based on any one property owner's use of the City's
recreational facilities or a property owner's specific demographic status. With reference
to the requirements for assessments, Section 22573 of the Landscaping and Lighting
Act of 1972 states:
"The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may
be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net
amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated
benefits to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements."
Proposition 218, as codified in Article XIIID of the California Constitution, has confirmed
that assessments must be based on the special benefit to property:
"No assessment shall be imposed on any parcel which exceeds the
reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel. "
Six benefit categories have been established that represent the types of special benefit
to residential, commercial, industrial and other lots and parcels resulting from the
installation, maintenance and servicing of park and recreation improvements to be
provided with the assessment proceeds. These categories of special benefit are derived
City of Moorpark Parks Maintenance and Recreation Improvement District 04108199
Engineer's Report, Fiscal Year 1999 -00, by Shilts Consultants, Inc. Page 6
from the statutes passed by the California Legislature and other studies which describe
the types of special benefit received by property from maintenance and improvements
such as those proposed by the City of Moorpark Parks & Recreation Maintenance and
Improvement District. These types of special benefit are summarized as follows:
Enhanced recreational opportunities and expanded access to recreational facilities
for all residents throughout the City.
Residential properties benefit from the enhanced recreational opportunities offered
by the improvements and maintenance services that would be made throughout the City.
These maintenance and improvement services include, among others, new playground
equipment, improved playcourt, playfield and turf areas, and higher levels of maintenance
and watering than would be provided in absence of the assessment. These improved
park facilities will be available to residents and guests of property owners within the City,
thereby making these properties more valuable.
Non - residential properties also will benefit from the improved park facilities in many
ways. Employees will have better and well - maintained facilities to utilize for exercise,
recreational activities, sporting events, picnics, company gatherings or other uses. These
improvements, therefore, enhance an employer's ability to attract and keep quality
employees. The benefits to employers ultimately flow to the property because better
employees improve the business prospects for companies and enhanced economic
conditions benefit the property by making it more valuable.
Protection of views, scenery and other resources values and environmental benefits
enjoyed by residents, employees, customers and guests and preservation of public
assets maintained by the City.
The proposed Parks & Recreation Maintenance and Improvement District will
provide funding to protect and improve the public resources and facilities of the City. For
example, the assessments will provide funding to remove graffiti from City park and
recreation facilities, to keep the City's park grounds clean with consistent trash removal
and to adequately maintain the grounds and facilities so that tun` areas remain green and
healthy and the grounds and facilities of the City do not fall into disrepair. This benefits
properties by maintaining and improving the public resources in the community.
• Increased economic activity.
Well- maintained and improved park facilities will allow for expansion of recreation
programs and increased use of the facilities. Expanded use and activities facilitated by
new and refurbished facilities brings greater numbers of people in the area who can
utilize the services of businesses within the District. The users of the City's recreational
facilities will be more likely to shop and eat locally. Increased use leads to increased
economic activity in the area, which is a benefit ultimately to property.
• Expanded employment opportunity.
Improved recreational facilities and public resources foster business growth which,
in turn, creates additional employment opportunities for City residents. in addition, the
assessments expand local employment opportunities by funding new projects that may
create the need for additional construction or maintenance jobs.
City of Moorpark Parks Maintenance and Recreation Improvement District 04108199
Engineer's Report, Fiscal Year 1999 -00, by Shilts Consultants, Inc. Page 7
Improved and well- maintained recreational facilities also provide business properties
with an opportunity to attract and keep employees due to the benefits provided by these
recreational facilities.
Reduced cost of local government in law enforcement, public health care, fire
prevention and natural disaster response.
High quality recreational facilities allow residents and employees in the City to enjoy
activities close to home, thereby not spending time driving to other areas.
Improved and well - maintained recreational facilities can also serve to improve public
safety and reduce the cost to local government by providing a positive setting for youth
and adult activities.
All of these factors ultimately benefit property by making the community more
desirable and property, in turn, more valuable.
• Enhanced quality of life and desirability of the area.
The assessments will provide funding to improve the City's public recreational
facilities and to ensure that the parks and facilities remain operable, safe, and well
maintained. Such improved and well- maintained facilities enhance the overall quality of
life and desirability of the area. This is a benefit to residential, commercial, industrial and
other properties.
• Specific enhancement of property values.
The above benefit factors, when applied to property in the City, create specific
enhancement of property values. For example, the assessments will provide funding to
improve the City's public facilities and grounds and to ensure that the grounds and
facilities remain operable, safe, and well maintained. Such improved and well - maintained
facilities enhance the overall quality of life and desirability of the area. In turn, property
values are specifically enhanced by the availability of improved and well- maintained
recreation facilities and public resources within a community. Values of commercial and
industrial property increase based on the economic activity and the quality of public
resources in the area.
Having a system of well- maintained and improved neighborhood parks serves as an
important environmental feature for which the community of Moorpark will be known.
This, in turn, makes the City of Moorpark a more attractive and safer place to live and to
locate new businesses by improving overall quality of the community, providing pleasant
places for residents to enjoy, and increasing recreational opportunities.
The correlation between enhanced property values and improved and well -
maintained recreational facilities has been documented. The United States Department
of the Interior, National Park Service determined that `An investment in parks and
recreation helps reduce pollution and noise, makes communities more livable, and
increases property value." Additionally, the National Recreation and Park Association, in
June 1985, stated, "The recreation value is realized as a rise in the value of land and
other property in or near the recreation area, and is of public interest to the taxpayers,
who have a stake in a maximum of total assessed values."
In addition, professional property appraisers have found that well - maintained public
recreational grounds and facilities enhance property values in a community.
City ojMoorpark Parks Maintenance and Recreation Improvement District 04108199
Engineer's Report, Fiscal Year 1999 -00, by Shilts Consultants, Inc. Page 8
C. General versus Special Benert
The cost of improving and maintaining the grounds and facilities for use and enjoyment
by property owners, residents, employees and customers in the City is a special benefit
to property in the District because the improvements and maintenance confer the special
benefit factors described above. Moreover, in absence of the proposed assessments,
the level of park maintenance and improvement would decline due to City budget
constraints. Therefore, the assessments provide special benefits to the community by
supporting a higher level of park maintenance and improvement than would otherwise
be provided.
The maintenance and improvement of the City's parks and recreational facilities from the
assessments also provide a degree of general benefits to the public at large. A measure
of this general benefit is the proportionate amount of time that the City's parks and
recreational facilities are used and enjoyed by the greater public at large'. It is
reasonable to assume that approximately 25% of the usage and enjoyment of the
improvements is by the greater public. Therefore, approximately 25% of the benefits
conferred by the proposed maintenance and improvements are determined to be
general in nature. (It should be noted, however, that benefit factors such as protection of
resource values, reduced cost of local government and specifically enhanced property
values are conferred to property in the District regardless of the use of the parks and
facilities.)
The City's total budget for maintenance, operation and improvement of its parks and
recreational facilities is $866,914. Of this total budget amount, the proposed contribution
from the City from sources other than the assessments is $419,730. If the City Council
approves this level of contribution, the City's contribution would equate to approximately
48% of the total budget for park maintenance and improvement, which more than offsets
the cost of the general benefits resulting from the maintenance and improvements.2
D. Method of Assessment
The second step in apportioning assessments is to determine the relative special benefit
for each property. This process involves determining the relative benefit received by
each property in relation to a single family home, or, in other words, on the basis of
Single Family Equivalents (SFE). This SFE methodology is commonly used to distribute
assessments in proportion to estimated special benefit and is generally recognized as
' . The greater public at large is generally defined as those who are not residents, property
owners, customers or employees within the District boundaries.
. At the proposed City contribution of $419,730, the total amount assessable to property would
be $447,184, which equates to an assessment rate of $39.00 per single family equivalent. The
City's contribution is proposed at this amount in part to establish an assessment rate that is
generally equal to the previous assessment amount. It should be noted that when this Report is
considered for preliminary approval, the City could establish a different level of contribution or
budget, with the constraint that the least amount of City contribution for general benefits is 25% of
the total budget.
City of Moorpark Parks Maintenance and Recreation Improvement District 04108199
Engineer's Report, Fiscal Year 1999 -00, by Shilts Consultants, Inc. Page 9
providing the basis for a fair and appropriate distribution of assessments. For the
purposes of this Engineer's Report, all properties are designated a SFE value, which is
each property's relative benefit in relation to a single family home on one parcel. In this
case, the "benchmark" property is the single family detached dwelling which is one
Single Family Equivalent or one SFE.
E. Proximity Benerits
The City's park facilities are easily accessible by anyone within a neighborhood or the
City. Therefore, benefits from the proposed improvements do not vary based on
proximity of the parcels to the improvements because the increased benefits of greater
proximity to the improvements are generally offset by a parallel increase in negative
factors such as higher levels of traffic, noise, etc. that comes with increased proximity.
Consequently, since all parcels in the City have good access and proximity to the City's
grounds and recreational facilities and the benefits to relatively closer proximity are
offset by other factors, proximity is not considered to be a factor in determining benefit
within the Parks Maintenance and Improvement District.
F. Assessment Apportionment
In the process of determining the appropriate method of assessment, the Engineer
considered various alternatives. For example, an assessment only for all residential
improved property was considered but was determined to be inappropriate because
commercial, industrial and other property also receive benefits from the assessments.
Moreover, a fixed or flat assessment for all properties of similar type was deemed to be
inappropriate because larger properties receive a higher degree of benefit than other
similarly used properties that are significantly smaller. (For two properties used for
commercial purposes, there is clearly a higher benefit provided to the larger property in
comparison to a smaller commercial property because the larger property generally
supports a larger building and has higher numbers of employees, customers and guests
that would benefit from well maintained and improved parks and recreational facilities.
This benefit ultimately flows to the property.) Larger parcels, therefore, receive an
increased benefit from the assessments.
As stated previously, the special benefits derived from the assessments are conferred
on property and are not based on a specific property owner's use of the improvements,
or a specific property owner's occupancy of property or the property owner's
demographic status such as age or number of dependents. However, it is ultimately
people who value the special benefits described above, use and enjoy the City's park
and recreational facilities and control property values by placing a value on the special
benefits to be provided by the improvements. In other words, the benefits derived to
property are related to the average number of people who could potentially live on, work
at or otherwise could use a property, not how the property is currently used by the
present owner. Therefore, the number of people who could or potentially live on, work at
City of Moorpark Parks Maintenance and Recreation Improvement District 04108199
Engineer's Report, Fiscal Year 1999 -00, by Shilts Consultants, Inc. Page 10
or otherwise use a property is an indicator of the relative level of benefit received by a
property.
Therefore, the Engineer determined that the appropriate method of assessment should
be based on the type of property, the relative size of the property and the potential use
of property by residents and employees. This method is further described below.
1. Residential Properties
All improved residential properties that represent a single residential dwelling unit are
assigned one Single Family Equivalent or 1.0 SFE. Traditional houses, zero -lot line
houses and townhomes are included in this category.
Properties with more than one residential unit are designated as multi - family residential
properties. These properties benefit from the improvements in proportion to the number
of dwelling units that occupy each property and the average number of people who
reside in multi - family residential units versus the average number of people who reside
in a single family home. The population density factors for the City of Moorpark, as
depicted below, provide the basis for determining the SFE factors for residential
properties. Using the total population in a certain property type within the City of
Moorpark from the 1990 Census and dividing it by the total number of such households,
finds that approximately 3.54 persons occupy each single family residence, whereas an
average of 2.78 persons occupy each multi - family residence. Using the ratio of one SFE
for each single - family residence, which equates to one SFE for every 3.54 persons, 0.78
SFE would equate to one multi - family unit or 0.78 SFE for every 2.78 residents.
Likewise, using the average population density ratios for other types of residential
property, each condominium unit receives 0.80 SFE and each mobile home receives
0.65 SFE.

Z CommerciabIndustrial Properties
SFE values for commercial and industrial land uses are based on the equivalence of
special benefit on a land area basis between single family residential property and the
average commercial /industrial property. The SFE values for various commercial and
industrial land uses are further defined by using average employee densities because
the special benefit factors described previously are also related to the average number
of people who work at commercial /industrial properties.
In order to determine employee density factors, the findings from the San Diego
Association of Governments Traffic Generators Study (the "SANDAG Study") are used
because these findings were approved by the State Legislature for use in justifying
commercial and industrial school facilities fees and are considered to be a good
representation of the average number of employees per acre of land area for
commercial and industrial properties. As determined by the SANDAG Study, the
average number of employees per acre for commercial and industrial property is 35.
In comparison, the average number of people residing in a single family home in the
area is 3.54. Since the average lot size for a single family home in Moorpark is
approximately 0.17 acres, the average number of residents per acre of residential
property is 21.3
The employee density per acre is generally 1.7 times the population density of single
family residential property per acre (35 employees per acre / 21 residents per acre).
Therefore, the average employee density can be used as the basis for allocating benefit
to commercial or industrial property since a property with 1.7 employees receives
generally similar special benefit to a residential property with 1 resident. This factor of
equivalence of benefit between 1 resident to 1.7 employees is the basis for allocating
commercial /industrial benefit. Table 2 shows the average employees per acre of land
area or portion thereof for commercial and industrial properties and lists the relative SFE
factors per fifth acre for properties in each land use category.
Commercial and industrial properties in excess of 5 acres generally involve uses that are
more land intensive relative to building areas and number of employees (lower coverage
ratios). As a result, the benefit factors for commercial and industrial property land area
in excess of 5 acres is determined to be the SFE rate per fifth acre for the first 5 acres
and the relevant SFE rate per each additional acre over 5 acres.
Institutional properties that are used for residential, commercial or industrial purposes
are also assessed at the appropriate residential, commercial or industrial rate.
3 . Average lot size determined by an analysis of real property maps and Ventura County
assessor parcel data.

Commercial/Industrial Assessment Factors
1. Source: San Dieao Association of Governments Traffic Generators Studv.
2. The SFE factors for commercial and industrial parcels are applied by the fifth
acre of land area or portion thereof. (Therefore, the minimum assessment for
any assessable parcel in these categories is the SFE Units listed herein.)
3. Vacant Residential Land
The benefits to be received from the construction and maintenance of recreational
facilities throughout the City include active benefits which are related to the use and
enjoyment of property in the City and passive benefits which are related to the
underlying land. An example of a passive benefit is enhancement of property value that
will accrue to a vacant parcel from the park maintenance and improvements based on its
future potential use. Another example of a passive benefit factor is increased economic
activity because all properties in areas with increased economic activity are generally
more valuable. Undeveloped property also benefits from the installation and
maintenance of recreational facilities because when the property is developed, the
recreational facilities will be available to the developed property.
The benefit to vacant properties is determined to be proportional to the corresponding
benefits for similar type developed properties. It is reasonable to assume that
approximately 25% of the benefits are related to the underlying land and 75% are related
to the day to day use of the property. Using this ratio, the SFE factor for vacant parcels
is 0.25 per parcel.
As properties are approved for development, their value increases. Likewise, the special
benefits received by vacant property increases as the property is approved for
development, or becomes closer to being fully improved. When property moves from
vacant status to the point at which a development application and engineering plans
have been submitted to the City for approval, such property is deemed to receive 35% of
the relative benefits that would be received by the property after it is fully improved or

3. Vacant Residential Land
The benefits to be received from the construction and maintenance of recreational
facilities throughout the City include active benefits which are related to the use and
enjoyment of property in the City and passive benefits which are related to the
underlying land. An example of a passive benefit is enhancement of property value that
will accrue to a vacant parcel from the park maintenance and improvements based on its

more valuable. Undeveloped property also benefits from the installation and
maintenance of recreational facilities because when the property is developed, the
recreational facilities will be available to the developed property.
The benefit to vacant properties is determined to be proportional to the corresponding
benefits for similar type developed properties. It is reasonable to assume that
approximately 25% of the benefits are related to the underlying land and 75% are related
to the day to day use of the property. Using this ratio, the SFE factor for vacant parcels
is 0.25 per parcel.
As properties are approved for development, their value increases. Likewise, the special
benefits received by vacant property increases as the property is approved for
development, or becomes closer to being fully improved. When property moves from
vacant status to the point at which a development application and engineering plans
have been submitted to the City for approval, such property is deemed to receive 35% of
the relative benefits that would be received by the property after it is fully improved or
City of Moorpark Parks Maintenance and Recreation Improvement District 04108199
Engineer's Report, Fiscal Year 1999 -00, by Shilts Consultants, Inc. Page 13
developed. Thus the SFE factor for property with proposed development applications is
35% of the rate that would be applied to the property when it is fully developed.
At the second stage towards development, tentative parcel maps and site development
plans are approved for the property. At this point, the property is at the final stage and
can shortly undergo construction. Since the property is nearing the point of
development, its special benefits increase. The Engineer has determined that the
relative level of benefit for approved property is 65% of the rate for similar developed
property. Therefore, all approved property is assigned an SFE factor that is equal to
65% of the SFE factor that would be applied to the property after it is fully developed.4
4. Other Properties
All properties that are specially benefited are assessed. Public right -of -way parcels,
well, reservoir or other water rights parcels, limited access open space parcels,
watershed parcels and common area parcels typically do not generate employees,
residents, customers or guests. Moreover, many of these parcels have limited economic
value and, therefore, do not benefit from specific enhancement of property value. Such
parcels are, therefore, not specially benefited and are not assessed.
Church parcels, school parcels and other properties used for educational purposes
typically generate a lower number of employees than other non - residential parcels.
Moreover, many of these parcels provide some degree of on -site amenities that serve to
offset some of the benefits from the Parks Maintenance and Improvement District.
Therefore, these parcels receive minimal benefit and are assessed an SFE factor of 1.
Publicly or institutionally owned property that is used for residential, commercial, office or
industrial purposes benefits from the assessments at the same level as any other
similarly used property that is privately owned. Therefore, such publicly or institutionally
owned property is assessed at the same rate as other similarly used property.
" . For example, if a property is proposed for development of 100 single family homes, the SFE
factor would be 100 SFE "35 %, which equals 35 SFE. After the property is approved for
development, the SFE factor would be 65 (100 SFE upon completion ' 65 %). The rates for
commercial and industrial property are applied similarly.

S. Appeals and Interpretation
Any property owner who feels that the assessment levied on the subject property is in
error as a result of incorrect information being used to apply the foregoing method of
assessment, may file a written appeal with the Director of Community Services or her or
his designee. Any such appeal is limited to correction of an assessment during the then
current or, if before July 1, the upcoming fiscal year. Upon the filing of any such appeal,
the Director of Community Services or his or her designee will promptly review the
appeal and any information provided by the property owner. If the Director of
Community Services or her or his designee finds that the assessment should be
modified, the appropriate changes shall be made to the assessment roll. If any such
changes are approved after the assessment roll has been filed with the County for
collection, the Director of Community Services or his or her designee is authorized to
refund to the property owner the amount of any approved reduction. Any property owner
who disagrees with the decision of the Director of Community Services or her or his
designee, may refer their appeal to the City Council of the City of Moorpark and the
decision of the City Council of the City of Moorpark shall be final.

2 Commercial/Industrial Properties
SFE values for commercial and industrial land uses are based on the equivalence of
special benefit on a land area basis between single family residential property and the
average commercial/industrial property. The SFE values for various commercial and
industrial land uses are further defined by using average employee densities because
the special benefit factors described previously are also related to the average number
of people who work at commercial /industrial properties.

IX. Appendix B — Article XIIID of the California Constitution
(Proposition 218)
Proposition 218 was approved by voters as a Constitutional Amendment on November 6, 1996.
It became Article XIIIC and Article XIIID of the California State Constitution and has imposed
additional requirements for assessment districts. Following is a summary of the Article.
CALIFORNIA CONSTITUTION ARTICLE 13D
(ASSESSMENT AND PROPERTY - RELATED FEE REFORM)
SECTION 1. Application. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the provisions of
this article shall apply to all assessments, fees and charges, whether imposed pursuant
to state statute or local government charter authority. Nothing in this article or Article
XIIIC shall be construed to:
(a) Provide any new authority to any agency to impose a tax, assessment, fee, or
charge.

CALIFORNIA
CONSTITUTION ARTICLE 13D
(ASSESSMENT AND PROPERTY - RELATED FEE REFORM)
SEC. 4. Procedures and Requirements for All Assessments.
(a) An agency which proposes to levy an assessment shall identify all parcels which
will have a special benefit conferred upon them and upon which an assessment
will be imposed. The proportionate special benefit derived by each identified
parcel shall be determined in relationship to the entirety of the capital cost of a
public improvement, the maintenance and operation expenses of a public
improvement, or the cost of the property related service being provided. No
assessment shall be imposed on any parcel which exceeds the reasonable cost
of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel. Only special benefits
are assessable, and an agency shall separate the general benefits from the
special benefits conferred on a parcel. Parcels within a district that are owned or
used by any agency, the State of California or the United States shall not be
exempt from assessment unless the agency can demonstrate by clear and
convincing evidence that those publicly owned parcels in fact receive no special
benefit.
City of Moorpark Parks Maintenance and Recreation Improvement District 04108199
Engineer's Report, Fiscal Year 1999 -00, by Shilts Consultants, Inc. Page 25
(b) All assessments shall be supported by a detailed engineer's report prepared by a
registered professional engineer certified by the State of California.
(c) The amount of the proposed assessment for each identified parcel shall be
calculated and the record owner of each parcel shall be given written notice by
mail of the proposed assessment, the total amount thereof chargeable to the
entire district, the amount chargeable to the owner's particular parcel, the
duration of the payments, the reason for the assessment and the basis upon
which the amount of the proposed assessment was calculated, together with the
date, time, and location of a public hearing on the proposed assessment. Each
notice shall also include, in a conspicuous place thereon, a summary of the
procedures applicable to the completion, return, and tabulation of the ballots
required pursuant to subdivision (d), including a disclosure statement that the
existence of a majority protest, as defined in subdivision (e), will result in the
assessment not being imposed.
(d) Each notice mailed to owners of identified parcels within the district pursuant to
subdivision (c) shall contain a ballot which includes the agency's address for
receipt of the ballot once completed by any owner receiving the notice whereby
the owner may indicate his or her name, reasonable identification of the parcel,
and his or her support or opposition to the proposed assessment.
(e) The agency shall conduct a public hearing upon the proposed assessment not
less than 45 days after mailing the notice of the proposed assessment to record
owners of each identified parcel. At the public hearing, the agency shall consider
all protests against the proposed assessment and tabulate the ballots. The
agency shall not impose an assessment if there is a majority protest. A majority
protest exists if, upon the conclusion of the hearing, ballots submitted in
opposition to the assessment exceed the ballots submitted in favor of the
assessment. In tabulating the ballots, the ballots shall be weighted according to
the proportional financial obligation of the affected property.
(f) In any legal action contesting the validity of any assessment, the burden shall be
on the agency to demonstrate that the property or properties in question receive
a special benefit over and above the benefits conferred on the public at large and
that the amount of any contested assessment is proportional to, and no greater
than, the benefits conferred on the property or properties in question.
(g) Because only special benefits are assessable, electors residing within the district
who do not own property within the district shall not be deemed under this
Constitution to have been deprived of the right to vote for any assessment. If a
court determines that the Constitution of the United States or other federal law
requires otherwise, the assessment shall not be imposed unless approved by a
two- thirds vote of the electorate in the district in addition to being approved by the
property owners as required by subdivision (e).

CALIFORNIA CONSTITUTION ARTICLE 13D
(ASSESSMENT AND PROPERTY - RELATED FEE REFORM)
SEC. 5. Effective Date.
Pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 10 of Article 11, the provisions of this article shall
become effective the day after the election unless otherwise provided. Beginning July 1,
1997, all existing, new, or increased assessments shall comply with this article.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following assessments existing on the effective date
of this article shall be exempt from the procedures and approval process set forth in
Section 4:
(a) Any assessment imposed exclusively to finance the capital costs or maintenance
and operation expenses for sidewalks, streets, sewers, water, flood control,
drainage systems or vector control. Subsequent increases in such assessments
shall be subject to the procedures and approval process set forth in Section 4.
(b) Any assessment imposed pursuant to a petition signed by the persons owning all
of the parcels subject to the assessment at the time the assessment is initially
imposed. Subsequent increases in such assessments shall be subject to the
procedures and approval process set forth in Section 4.
(c) Any assessment the proceeds of which are exclusively used to repay bonded
indebtedness of which the failure to pay would violate the Contract Impairment
Clause of the Constitution of the United States.
(d) Any assessment which previously received majority voter approval from the
voters voting in an election on the issue of the assessment. Subsequent
increases in those assessments shall be subject to the procedures and approval
process set forth in Section 4.
CALIFORNIA CONSTITUTION ARTICLE 13D (ASSESSMENT AND PROPERTY -
RELATED FEE REFORM)
SEC. 6. Property Related Fees and Charges.
(a) Procedures for New or Increased Fees and Charges. An agency shall follow the
procedures pursuant to this section in imposing or increasing any fee or charge
as defined pursuant to this article, including, but not limited to, the following: (1)
The parcels upon which a fee or charge is proposed for imposition shall be
identified. The amount of the fee or charge proposed to be imposed upon each
parcel shall be calculated. The agency shall provide written notice by mail of the
proposed fee or charge to the record owner of each identified parcel upon which
the fee or charge is proposed for imposition, the amount of the fee or charge
proposed to be imposed upon each, the basis upon which the amount of the
proposed fee or charge was calculated, the reason for the fee or charge, together
with the date, time, and location of a public hearing on the proposed fee or
charge. (2) The agency shall conduct a public hearing upon the proposed fee or
charge not less than 45 days after mailing the notice of the proposed fee or
charge to the record owners of each identified parcel upon which the fee or
charge is proposed for imposition. At the public hearing, the agency shall
consider all protests against the proposed fee or charge. If written protests
City of Moorpark Parks Maintenance and Recreation Improvement District 04108199
Engineer's Report, Fiscal Year 1999 -00, by Shilts Consultants, Inc. Page27
against the proposed fee or charge are presented by a majority of owners of the
identified parcels, the agency shall not impose the fee or charge.
(b) Requirements for Existing, New or Increased Fees and Charges. A fee or charge
shall not be extended, imposed, or increased by any agency unless it meets all of
the following requirements: (1) Revenues derived from the fee or charge shall not
exceed the funds required to provide the property related service. (2) Revenues
derived from the fee or charge shall not be used for any purpose other than that
for which the fee or charge was imposed. (3) The amount of a fee or charge
imposed upon any parcel or person as an incident of property ownership shall
not exceed the proportional cost of the service attributable to the parcel. (4) No
fee or charge may be imposed for a service unless that service is actually used
by, or immediately available to, the owner of the property in question. Fees or
charges based on potential or future use of a service are not permitted. Standby
charges, whether characterized as charges or assessments, shall be classified
as assessments and shall not be imposed without compliance with Section 4. (5)
No fee or charge may be imposed for general governmental services including,
but not limited to, police, fire, ambulance or library services, where the service is
available to the public at large in substantially the same manner as it is to
property owners. Reliance by an agency on any parcel map, including, but not
limited to, an assessors parcel map, may be considered a significant factor in
determining whether a fee or charge is imposed as an incident of property
ownership for purposes of this article. In any legal action contesting the validity of
a fee or charge, the burden shall be on the agency to demonstrate compliance
with this article.
(c) Voter Approval for New or Increased Fees and Charges. Except for fees or
charges for sewer, water, and refuse collection services, no property related fee
or charge shall be imposed or increased unless and until that fee or charge is
submitted and approved by a majority vote of the property owners of the property
subject to the fee or charge or, at the option of the agency, by a two- thirds vote of
the electorate residing in the affected area. The election shall be conducted not
less than 45 days after the public hearing. An agency may adopt procedures
similar to those for increases in assessments in the conduct of elections under
this subdivision.
(d) Beginning July 1, 1997, all fees or charges shall comply with this section.
