Ms. Lumbad gave the staff report. Ms. Lumbad noted three corrections on
stamped page 2 of the staff report: Campus Plaza and 875 Los Angeles
Avenue should have three crosses as they are back-ups, and Vistas
should have two crosses as they are not yet completed.
In response to City Council questions, staff provided an overview of the
annual assessment process and time frame and clarified the setting of the
maximum percent, that the 3% cap is only for the Parks Maintenance and
does not apply to the Lighting and Landscaping Assessment, and District
14 is already being assessed at the maximum amount but still has a
shortfall.
Mayor Parvin opened the public hearing.
David Schrecengost, a Moorpark resident and Meridian Hills Homeowners
Association Boardmember, stated it is important that the community and

compared to the Moorpark Country Club Estates but the details are not
clear; and he asked how costs may be reduced.
Blake Weymouth, a Moorpark resident, stated he enjoys living in
Moorpark, but the tax assessments make it hard for small families to live
there. He expressed these taxes are going to make it hard for his siblings
and for him to complete their college education. He suggested returning
the District property to the landowners as they may be able to maintain at
a lower cost or reduce the costs.
Karen White, a Moorpark resident, stated she did receive disclosures
when she purchased the home. She described her concern was not
knowing the specific line item costs, which information will be beneficial to
the residents and reduce the confusion, and requested a community
meeting.
Katie Jo Collins, a Moorpark resident, requested a homeowners
association meeting to be able to ask questions, such as the scope of
work being bid out and managed, so we can achieve a rate we are
comfortable with.
Ike Terjimanian, a Moorpark resident, stated they moved to Moorpark and
were not properly relayed the truth with regard to the assessment fees,
and need to know what additional costs and assessments they will have
so they may properly plan their future. He suggested break down the
bids, so we know what is benefiting the community best. He requested
continuance to reconsider the assessment.
Pamela Lundquist, a Moorpark resident, thanked the Council for the
opportunity to comment on this issue. She expressed a Proposition 218
concern with the assessment and said each homeowner should have
received mailed notice. She requested a continuance and the scheduling
of a town hall meeting to have their questions clarified.
Mayor Parvin closed the public hearing.
The City Attorney clarified that the City does follow and complies with the
Proposition 218 law. Mr. Ennis also clarified how the District was created
and formed, that landowners at the time of formation consented to the
formation, the annual levy amounts are in compliance as authorized by the
approved formation documents, and none of these proceedings require a
new mailed ballot election. He also stated the City is not proposing to
exceed the permitted CPI adjustments.
Mr. Laurentowski explained the formal bidding process , the required
prevailing wage rates, and the acreage differences that increase the

assessments to the Meridian Hills property owners. Mr. Laurentowski
noted that Ventura County Flood Control manages two basins and that the
other basins will be managed by the landscape maintenance district.
In response to Mayor Parvin, Mr. Brown responded that there is a process
that would have to be followed for the homeowners association to take
over maintenance of District areas that are not publicly owned by the City.
He also suggested a town hall meeting to meet with residents and have
staff answer further questions.
In response to City Council questions, Mr. Ennis gave language to
approve the staff recommendation and close the public hearing for all
Districts, with the exception of District 20, which would be continued to
June 19 with the public hearing open, and the first sentence of Section 5
of the resolution should be amended to state: “With the exception of
District 20 (Meridian Hills), the assessments to pay the costs and
expenses of the Improvements for fiscal year 2019/2020 are hereby
levied”.

area.

that he disagreed with Condition No. 13. Ms. Vaughn clarified that since

2019-20 for Department Head and Management Employees with the
required minimum Annual or Vacation Leave balance, at an estimated
cost of approximately $63,712 for the new fiscal year. The same
insurance benefits have been budgeted for the new fiscal year, with the
exception that the medical insurance benefit has been revised for
Department Heads to provide the same benefit for all current and new
Department Heads beginning in 2020, which will be increasing the
payment from up to 90% to up to 100% of the PERS Choice PPO family
medical insurance rate beginning in 2020 for four Department Head

2020 is estimated to be $7,200. Additionally, the draft Fiscal Year 2019-
20 Budget estimates an overall increase of approximately 10% budgeted
for the cost of CalPERS medical insurance beginning in 2020, and the
actual cost may be higher upon CalPERS adoption of the final rates for
2020. The proposed revision to the involuntary separation severance
benefit for Management Employees could result in an infrequent additional
cost to the City, but is expected to assist with recruitment. Adding a car
allowance for the Finance Director position will cost an additional $310 per
month and totaling $3,720 per year.” 2) Adopt Resolution No. 2019-3816,
