(ROLL CALL VOTE REQUIRED) (Staff: Vivien Avella, Treasurer/Finance Director) Item: 8.B. MOORPARK CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT TO: Honorable City Council FROM: Vivien Avella, City Treasurer/Finance Director DATE: 06/01/2022 Regular Meeting SUBJECT: Consider Final Review of the Assessment Engineer’s Report for the Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance Assessment Districts and Resolution Confirming the Levy Amounts and Ordering the Continuation of Assessment for Fiscal Year 2022/23 SUMMARY The City Council is being asked to open the public hearing on the continuation of the Landscape and Lighting Maintenance Assessment Districts (AD) for fiscal year (FY) 2022/23, receive testimony, close the public hearing, approve the final Assessment Engineer’s Report (Engineer’s Report), and adopt the resolution confirming the assessment levy. BACKGROUND In 1984, a Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance Assessment District No. AD 84-2 (AD 84-2), encompassing the entire City, was created to fund costs associated with street lighting and the maintenance of various landscaped areas in the City. This was a successor to the District enacted by the County of Ventura prior to the incorporation of the City. In subsequent years, Zones of Benefit were added to fund improvements and the maintenance of certain specific areas. Later, these Zones were changed to District 1 through District 12. Since 1984, the City has formed additional Assessment Districts to fund the maintenance of certain landscape improvements in and adjacent to: 2001 •Silver Oak Lane Tract 5201 (AD01-1, District 14) •Country Club Estates Tract 4928 (AD01-2, District 15 Zone A ♦) •Masters at Moorpark Country Club Tract 5463 (AD01-2, District 15 Zone B♦) •Mountain View Tract 5166 (AD01-3, District 16) † Item: 8.B. 46 Honorable City Council 06/01/2022 Regular Meeting Page 2 2004 • Moonsong Court Tract 5307 (AD04-01, District 18) 2005 • Campus Plaza Tract 5264 (AD05-01, District 19) 2006 • Canterbury Lane Tract 5133 (AD06-01, District 21 - Zone A) • Ivy Lane Tract 5425 (AD06-01, District 21 - Zone B♦) 2007 • Meridian Hills Tracts 5187 and 5405♦ (AD07-02, District 20) • Moorpark Highlands Tract 5045 (AD07-01, District 22) • 875 Los Angeles Avenue IPD 2000-10 (AD07-04, District 24) †† 2008 • Patriot Commerce Center CPD 2004-01 (AD07-03, District 25) 2009 • 14339-14349 White Sage Road CPD 2004-03 (AD09-01, District 26) ††† 2010 • Tuscany Square CPD 2005-02 (AD10-01, District 31) ††† • 145 Park Lane CPD 2005-03 (AD10-02, District 32) ††† 2015 • Vistas at Moorpark Tract 5130 (AD15-01, District 33) Notes: † Districts 13, 17, 27, 28 and 29 are not assigned. †† District 23 – Tract 5130, Suncal/Vistas was not completed. ††† Districts 26, 31 and 32 are back up maintenance districts. ♦ On October 10, 2015, by Resolution No. 2015-3443, Tract 5463 was annexed into District 15, designated as Zone B. On November 20, 2013, by Resolution No. 2013-3241, Tract 5425 was annexed into District 21. On April 21, 2021, by Resolution No. 2021-4003, Lot C of Tract 5405 was also known as Phase II was accepted by the City Council. As part of the annual budget process, the City Council considers whether to renew the subject Assessment Districts and levy assessments for the upcoming fiscal year. In preparation for that consideration, it is necessary to prepare an Engineer’s Report setting forth certain relevant information pertaining to such an action. On January 19, 2022, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2022-4064 directing the preparation of said Engineer’s Report. At the Regular meeting on May 4, 2022, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2022-4088, which approved the preliminary Engineer’s Report and set the date of the public hearing on June 1, 2022. 47 Honorable City Council 06/01/2022 Regular Meeting Page 3 DISCUSSION Engineer’s Report The City Council is being asked to receive public testimony on the continuation of the assessment and to set the assessment levy amount. The Engineer’s Report established the assessment levy amount for each zone/district, the formula used to spread the assessment and calculation of “special” benefit versus “general” benefit. The Report sets forth certain relevant information, including the following: • a Boundary Map(s); • the reason for the assessments; • the duration of the assessments; • the method of apportionment; • the amount of the annual assessments; • information regarding cost of living adjustments; • information pertaining to reductions to the amounts levied to keep assessment fund reserve balances within certain prescribed limits; and • a description of improvements to be maintained. Improvements to be Maintained The improvements and maintenance funded by the Assessment Districts is generally described as follows: a. Street Lighting: Street lighting energy and maintenance costs (Citywide assessment). b. Landscape Maintenance: The maintenance of certain designated parkways and medians (Citywide assessment). c. Zones/Districts: Zone / District AD Name Location 1 Pecan Avenue Tract 2851 2 Steeple Hill Area Tract 2865 3 Butter Creek/Peppermill Tract 3032 4 Williams Ranch Road Tract 3274 5 Pheasant Run Area Tracts 3019 & 3525 6 Inglewood Street Tract 3274 7 Moorpark Business Park LA Ave & Gabbert 8 Home Acres Buffer Area West end of West Ranch area 9 Moorpark Industrial Park Condor Drive 10 Mountain Meadows Planned Community 3 11 Alyssas Court Tract 4174 12 Carlsberg Specific Plan 48 Honorable City Council 06/01/2022 Regular Meeting Page 4 Zone / District Assessment District Name Location 14 Silver Oak Lane Tract 5201 15 Zone A Country Club Estates Tract 4928 15 Zone B Masters at Moorpark Country Club Tract 5463 16 Mountain View Tract 5161 18 Moonsong Court Tract 5307 19 Campus Plaza Tract 5264 20 Meridian Hills Tracts 5187 & 5405 21 Canterbury Lane Tract 5133 21 Zone B Ivy Lane Tract 5425 22 Moorpark Highlands Tract 5045 24 875 Los Angeles Ave LA Ave & Goldman Ave 25 Patriot Commerce Center CPD 2004-01 26 14339-14349 White Sage Road CPD 2004-03 31 Tuscany Square CPD 2005-02 32 145 Park Lane CPD 2005-03 33 Vistas at Moorpark Tract 5130 Notes:Zone/District 2, 5, 10 & 16 include drainage maintenance. Zone/District 13, 17, 27, 28, 29 & 30 are unassigned. Zone/District 23 Suncal/Vistas was not completed. Capital Improvement Reserve Study In addition to the above maintenance and improvements, future capital needs within a District, such as replacement costs of landscaping and other improvements (e.g., trails, hardscape, drainage facilities, fencing, decorative lighting, and project signage, etc.) needed to be considered. As such, on April 21, 2021, the City Council adopted a Capital Improvement Reserve Study, which was performed by an independent consulting firm, Willdan Financial Services, to address depleting capital reserves and to provide a framework for a comprehensive plan that ensures the long-term viability of the said improvements in each of the Districts. The consultant’s study included an inventory and analysis of all systems and facilities within the Districts, including their current viability and remaining life span. This study prescribed the appropriate assessment rates needed for a Capital Improvements Reserve fund within each District which will address future capital needs, with an annual increase of 2.5% built into the assessment schedule to account for the rising capital improvement costs. The suggested assessment for FY 2022/23 levies (listed below) incorporate appropriate levies that will cover both operating costs and maintain the required Operational Reserves fund balances in addition to the levies established annually through the Engineer’s Report, which include allocations for operating reserves to cover fluctuations in operating expenses. 49 Honorable City Council 06/01/2022 Regular Meeting Page 5 Zones\Districs FY 21/22 Assessment (a) Capital Improvement Reserve (b) Proposed (Decrease) / Increase (c) FY 22/23 Assessment (d) (a + b +/- c) Units (e) Total District Assessments Projected (d x e) 11 - Alyssas Court T 4174 $337.78 $0.00 $0.00 $337.78 9 $3,040.02 12 - Carlsberg Specific Plan Area Residential $450.00 $45.07 $0.00 $495.07 536 $265,357.52 Commercial/Industrial $162.50 $45.07 $0.00 $207.57 69.74 $14,475.93 Institutional $1,462.50 $45.07 $0.00 $1,507.57 3.84 $5,789.07 18 - Moonsong Court T 5307 $748.24 $49.48 $0.00 $797.72 25 $19,943.00 21.1 Ivy Lane T 5425 $100.00 $1.78 $0.00 $101.78 99 $10,076.22 Table 1 FY 2022/23 Assessment Amounts and Adjustment The method used to establish the assessment amounts is based on a two-step process: 1) identifying the “special” benefits resulting from the improvements; and 2) allocating the assessments to the property based on the proportional “special” benefits derived from improvements over and above the “general” benefits. This method has been unchanged from prior years. AD 84-2, which includes Zones/Districts 1 to 11, was established prior to the passage of Proposition 218. As such, the per lot (per acre) assessment amounts in these Zones/Districts are at the same level. Any action to otherwise increase these assessments may not proceed without first seeking approval of such an increase via a mail ballot prepared and processed in accordance with the requirements of Proposition 218. Pursuant to language set forth in the formation documents for Zone/Districts 12 through 33, the annual maximum assessments for these Zone/Districts may be increased annually to cover cost-of-living (COLA) increases. The COLA increase in the Los Angeles/Long Beach/Anaheim Area Consumer Price Index (CPI) from December 2020 to December 2021 is 6.56 percent (6.56%). The maximum assessment amounts for FY 2022/23 include the COLA adjustments which are also summarized as follows: 50 Honorable City Council 06/01/2022 Regular Meeting Page 6 MAXIMUM ASSESSMENTS FOR ZONES 12 – 33 Zone/District FY 20/21 Maximum Assessment COLA 6.56% FY 21/22 Maximum Assessment3 12 Carlsberg - Residential $645.00 $42.31 $687.30 12 Carlsberg - Commercial $233.43 $15.31 $248.73 12 Carlsberg - Institutional $2,102.66 $137.93 $2,240.59 14 Silver Oak Lane T5201 $189.92 $12.46 $202.37 15 County Club Estates T4928 Zone A $2,011.52 $131.96 $2,143.47 15 Masters at Moorpark Country Club T5463 Zone B $3,713.77 $243.62 $3,957.39 15 Masters at Moorpark Country Club T5463 Zone B1 $19,189.23 $1,258.81 $20,448.03 16 Mountain View T5161 $553.51 $36.31 $589.82 18 Moonsong Court T5307 $1,165.30 $76.44 $1,241.73 19 Campus Plaza T52642 $10,564.40 $693.02 $11,257.42 20 Meridian Hills T5187 & T5405 $2,933.63 $192.45 $3,126.06 21 Canterbury Lane T5133 $493.86 $32.40 $526.24 21 Canterbury Lane T51331 $567.30 $37.21 $604.50 21 Ivy Lane T5425 Zone B $128.49 $8.43 $136.90 21 Ivy Lane T5425 Zone B1 $184.66 $12.11 $196.76 22 Moorpark Highlands T5045 $3,660.11 $240.10 $3,900.21 22 Moorpark Highlands T50451 $4,012.54 $263.22 $4,275.76 24 875 Los Angeles Ave2 $11,624.16 $762.55 $12,386.70 25 Patriot Commerce Center CPD 2004-012 $5,283.73 $346.61 $5,630.33 26 14339-14349 White Sage Road CPD 2004-032 $5,640.76 $370.03 $6,010.79 31 Tuscany Square CPD 2005-022 $6,902.10 $452.78 $7,354.87 32 145 Park Lane CPD 2005-032 $11,915.02 $781.63 $12,696.63 33 Vistas at Moorpark T51301 $15,860.88 $1,040.47 $16,901.34 Notes: 1 Includes additional per lot assessment for HOA maintained improvements as a backup district. 2 Includes additional per lot assessment for Property Owner maintained improvements as a backup district. 3 Final calculations are rounded and/or adjusted to match official rates on the Resolution. Districts 24, 25, 26, 31 and 32 have been established as “back up” Assessment Districts to manage certain landscape maintenance responsibilities assigned to the respective property owners. If the property owners are adequately maintaining the prescribed landscape improvements, the approved maximum assessment will not be levied. In the event the property owners fail to adequately maintain the landscape improvements, the City can take over the maintenance responsibility and levy the assessment. 51 Honorable City Council 06/01/2022 Regular Meeting Page 7 Reserves / Fund Balances On April 21, 2021, the City Council approved revisions to Landscaping and Lighting Assessment District (LLAD) City Council Policy 5.5, which was part of Resolution No. 2019- 3851. The amendments were incorporated into the comprehensive update of the City Council Policies on February 16, 2022. The newly adopted revisions allow for the funding of Operational Reserves and Capital Improvement Reserves for each of the City’s LLAD. For Operational Reserves, each district is to maintain a fund balance of approximately 50% of estimated annual maintenance and servicing costs to December 10 of the fiscal year or whenever the City expects to receive its apportionment of special assessments and tax collections from the County, whichever is later. For Capital Improvements Reserves, each district shall maintain a fund balance calculated in conformance with the adopted LLAD Capital Improvements Reserves Fund Study, increasing 2.5% annually over the useful life of such improvements as specified in the Study. For FY 2022/23, Fund Balances for the levied districts will be: Table 2 District/ Zone Fund Balance, Estimate 7/1/22 Other Revenue Total Levy Amount Requested Expenditure Budget ¹ Operational Fund Balance Projected 6/30/23 ² Capital Improvement Fund Balance Projected 6/30/23 Fund Balance, Projected 6/30/23 12 $798,879 $2,500 $285,623 $230,366 $430,348 $426,288 $856,636 15 Zones A/B $413,873 $15,000 $264,599 $526,821 $102,010 $64,642 $166,650 16 $25,073 $1,000 $8,850 $14,683 $193 $20,047 $20,240 18 $42,288 $200 $19,943 $14,965 $7,420 $40,046 $47,466 19 $68,489 $500 $4,207 $6,044 $2,980 $64,173 $67,152 20 $215,759 $15,000 $372,000 $471,518 $164,804 ($33,564) $131,241 21 Zones A/B $152,837 $1,000 $18,035 $20,765 $9,730 $141,377 $151,107 22 $456,709 $22,000 $808,200 $818,245 $288,998 $179,666 $468,664 ¹ ² For District 15 Zones A/B, Requested Expenditure Budget includes both Operational ($231,821) and Capital Improvements ($295,000 (Zone A)). Operational Fund Balance equals 50% of Requested Expenditure Budget except for the $295,000 budgeted for capital improvements in District 15 Zone A. 52 Honorable City Council 06/01/2022 Regular Meeting Page 8 On April 21, 2021, the City Council approved acceptance of District 20 (Meridian Hills T5187, Lot C T5405) Phase 2, and the City assumed responsibility for the maintenance of the slope; parkway and median landscape improvements; bio-swales; detention basis and storm drains. District 15, Zone B (Masters at Moorpark Country Club T5463) was also accepted. District 33 (Vistas at Moorpark T5130) was formed but no improvements have been installed; therefore no levies are assessed for FY 2022/23. Landscaping and Lighting a Maintenance Budget This report was prepared in advance of the Council’s discussions of the FY 2022/23 Budget. Therefore, the figures identified in the Report may not be identical to those in the draft Budget but will be closely comparable. By adopting the Report, the Council is not approving any expenditures. Instead, approval of expenditures will occur with the adoption of the City Budget for FY 2022/23. Adopting the Report simply establishes the assessment amount for the new fiscal year. The preliminary proposed budget for lighting and landscaping in FY 2022/23 is $3,311,304. This is comprised of salaries and employee benefits ($224,573); services and supplies ($2,780,196); debris basin expenses ($11,535); and capital improvements ($295,000) for the Championship Drive Trail sidewalk. Services and supplies include $1,613,154 for landscaping and maintenance; $801,140 for water and electricity; and $352,600 for street lighting. Relative to FY 2021/22 preliminary budget, the total proposed expenditures have increased by 3% or $88,457. The salaries and employee benefits for maintenance staff are distributed to various Zones/Districts based on the Zone/District’s size relative to the total acreage of 135.9 acres citywide. This is a more reasonable basis for cost sharing, and it is expected to reduce the General Fund support to those Zones/Districts with deficit fund balances. 53 Honorable City Council 06/01/2022 Regular Meeting Page 9 Fund Deficits Since Zones/Districts 1 through 11 were established without a cost-of-living adjustment factor, the maximum assessment amount per unit cannot be increased. It is therefore anticipated that the following Zones/Districts will generate operating deficits for FY 2021/22 and FY 2022/23: Table 3 FUND BALANCE DEFICITS Fund No. - Zone/District Title FY20/21 Actual FY 21/22 Estimate FY 22/23 Estimate Increase / (Decrease) 2300 Citywide - Lighting ($52,044) ($93,834) ($91,595) ($2,239) 2300 Citywide - Landscape ($85,056) ($111,066) ($122,087) $11,021 2301 District 1 - Pecan Avenue ($13,535) ($13,987) ($10,174) ($3,813) 2303 District 3 - Buttercreek/Peppermill ($1,517) ($2,266) ($1,763) ($503) 2304 District 4 - Williams Ranch Rd $953 ($922) ($356) ($566) 2305 District 5 - Pheasant Run Area ($57,497) ($61,996) ($66,576) $4,580 2306 District 6 - Inglewood St ($702) ($958) ($689) ($269) 2308 District 8 - Home Acres Buffer ($10,070) ($10,594) ($19,568) $8,974 2309 District 9 - Moopark Industrial Park ($5,490) ($5,700) ($4,224) ($1,476) 2310 District 10 - Mountain Meadows $69,846 $26,172 ($25,444) $51,616 2314 District 14 - Wilshire Builders ($6,117) ($9,613) ($19,127) $9,514 TOTAL ($156,666) ($253,145) ($334,269) $81,124 Due to the fixed maximum assessment rates in the Citywide District and Zones/Districts 1 through 14 and increasing maintenance and operations costs, operating deficits in street lighting and landscaped areas will continue to grow. The FY 2021/22 projected deficit of $253,145 is $96,479 more than the FY 2020/21 actual operating deficits of $156,666. The estimated deficit in FY 2022/23 is expected to increase by $81,124 to $334,269 due to increased landscape contract and water costs. General Fund transfers are used to subsidize the Zones/Districts with operating deficits to avoid the reporting of deficit fund balances. However, staff is evaluating current maintenance levels in the underfunded Districts and will present a report to the City Council at the beginning of the fiscal year to discuss potential cost saving opportunities. FISCAL IMPACT There will be no fiscal impact to the FY 2021/22 budget associated with the public hearing for final review of the Engineer’s Report and the adoption of the Resolution confirming the levy amounts and ordering the continuation of assessments for FY 2022/23. 54 Honorable City Council 06/01/2022 Regular Meeting Page 10 The City’s practice is to subsidize the projected deficits in Zones/Districts 1 through 14 using the Gas Tax Fund (2415) for 100% of the street lighting deficit and 50% of the landscaping deficits; and the General Fund (1000) for the remaining 50% of the landscaping deficits in the following fiscal year. The proposed budget for FY 2022/23 will include the expected special benefit assessment revenue for each District and transfers out in the amount of $148,255 from the Gas Tax Fund and $112,010 from General Fund, respectively. COUNCIL GOAL COMPLIANCE This action does not support a current strategic directive. STAFF RECOMMENDATION (ROLL CALL VOTE REQUIRED) 1.

The resolution preliminarily approving the Engineer's Report and establishing the date for a public hearing is used for this notice. Following the minimum 10‐day time period after publishing the notice, a public hearing is held for the purpose of allowing public testimony about the proposed continuation of the assessments. This hearing is currently scheduled for June 1, 2022. At this hearing, the Council would consider approval of a resolution confirming the continuation of the assessments for fiscal year 2022‐23. If so confirmed and approved, the assessments would be submitted to the County Auditor/Controller for inclusion on the property tax rolls for Fiscal Year 2022‐23. Legislative Analysis Proposition 218 AD84‐2 assessments were formed prior to the passage of Proposition 218, The Right to Vote on Taxes Act, which was approved by the voters of California on November 6, 1996, and is now Article XIIIC and XIIID of the California Constitution. (Proposition 218 provides for benefit assessments to be levied to fund the cost of providing services, improvements, as well as maintenance and operation expenses to a public improvement which benefits the assessed property.) Although these assessments are consistent with Proposition 218, the California judiciary has generally referred to pre‐ Proposition 218 assessments as “grandfathered assessments” and held them to a lower standard than post Proposition 218 assessments. The other Assessments described in this Engineer’s Report that were formed after the passage of Proposition 218 are consistent with Proposition 218 and the procedures and requirements established by Proposition 218 for new or increased assessments. Silicon Valley Taxpayers Association, Inc. v Santa Clara County Open Space Authority In July of 2008, the California Supreme Court issued its ruling on the Silicon Valley Taxpayers Association, Inc. v. Santa Clara County Open Space Authority (“SVTA vs. SCCOSA”). This ruling is the most significant court case in further legally clarifying the substantive assessment requirements of Proposition 218. Several of the most important elements of the ruling included further emphasis that: 72 CITY OF MOORPARK LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING MAINTENANCE ASSESSMENT DISTRICTS ENGINEER’S REPORT, FY 2022‐23 Page 9 Benefit assessments are for special, not general, benefit The services and/or improvements funded by assessments must be clearly defined Special benefits are directly received by and provide a direct advantage to property in the assessment district This Engineer’s Report is consistent with the SVTA vs. SCCOSA decision and with the requirements of Article 13C and 13D of the California Constitution based on the following factors: 1. The Assessment District(s) are divided into narrowly drawn and separate zones of benefit / Assessment Districts, and the assessment revenue derived from real property in each zone / Assessment District is extended only on specifically identified improvements and/or maintenance and servicing of those improvements in that zone / Assessment District and other improvements in the Assessment District(s) that confer special benefits to property in that zone / Assessment District. 2. The use of narrowly drawn zones of benefit and Assessment Districts ensures that the improvements constructed and maintained with assessment proceeds are located in close proximity to the real property subject to the assessment, and that such improvements provide a direct advantage to the property in the zone / Assessment District. 3. Due to their proximity to the assessed parcels, the improvements and maintenance thereof financed with assessment revenues in each zone benefit / Assessment District the properties in that zone / Assessment District in a manner different in kind from the benefit that other parcels of real property in the Assessment Districts derive from such improvements, and the benefits conferred on such property in each zone / Assessment District are more extensive and direct than a general increase in property values. 4. The assessments paid in each zone of benefit / Assessment District are proportional to the special benefit that each parcel within that zone / Assessment District receives from such improvements and the maintenance thereof because: a. The specific improvements and maintenance and utility costs thereof in each zone / Assessment District and the costs thereof are specified in this Engineer’s Report; and 73 CITY OF MOORPARK LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING MAINTENANCE ASSESSMENT DISTRICTS ENGINEER’S REPORT, FY 2022‐23 Page 10 b. Such improvement and maintenance costs in each zone / Assessment District are allocated among different types of property located within each zone of benefit / Assessment District, and equally among those properties which have similar characteristics and receive similar special benefits. Dahms v. Downtown Pomona Property On June 8, 2009, the 4th Court of Appeal amended its original opinion upholding a benefit assessment for property in the downtown area of the City of Pomona. On July 22, 2009, the California Supreme Court denied review. On this date, Dahms became good law and binding precedent for assessments. In Dahms the Court upheld an assessment that was 100% special benefit (i.e. 0% general benefit) on the rationale that the services and improvements funded by the assessments were directly provided to property in the assessment district. The Court also upheld discounts and exemptions from the assessment for certain properties. 74 CITY OF MOORPARK LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING MAINTENANCE ASSESSMENT DISTRICTS ENGINEER’S REPORT, FY 2022‐23 Page 11 Plans & Specifications The work and improvements (the “Improvements”) are proposed to be undertaken by the City of Moorpark Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance Assessment Districts and the cost thereof paid from the levy of the annual assessment provide special benefit to Assessor Parcels within the Assessment Districts as defined in the Method of Assessment herein.

Due to rounding, Assessment differs slightly from Table 1 of the Engineer's Report. 2) The Finance Director or his/her designee shall work with the responsible department head and assessment engineer to calculate annual operating costs and the Operational Reserves and Capital Improvements Reserves fund balances for each landscape and lighting assessment district in conjunction with preparation of the City’s annual fiscal year budget. The Operational Reserves fund balances for each landscape and lighting assessment district (“LLAD”) shall not exceed the estimated costs of maintenance and servicing to December 10 of the fiscal year, or approximately fifty percent (50%) of the annual estimated costs of each LLAD, or whenever the City expects to receive its apportionment of special assessments and tax collections from the county, whichever is later. The Capital Improvements Reserves fund balances shall be maintained for each LLAD to ensure sufficient operational available funding (i.e. cash flow) and to cover replacement costs for capital assets including, but not limited to, landscape materials, irrigation equipment, hardscape, walls, ornamental structures, trails, drainage facilities, fencing, decorative lighting, and project signage. Contributions to the Capital Improvements Reserves fund balances shall be calculated in conformance with the adopted LLAD Capital Improvements Reserves Fund Study (“Study”) with an annual increase of 2.5% over the useful life of such improvements as specified in the Study. The Study shall be re‐evaluated every 15 years, or sooner at the discretion of the Finance Director. 80 CITY OF MOORPARK LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING MAINTENANCE ASSESSMENT DISTRICTS ENGINEER’S REPORT, FY 2022‐23 Page 17 Method of Apportionment Method of Apportionment This section of the Engineer's Report explains the special and general benefits to be derived from the installation, maintenance and servicing of lighting and landscaping facilities throughout the City, and the methodology used to apportion the total assessment to properties within the Assessment Districts. The Assessment Districts 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 Assessment Districts 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. Discussion of Benefit 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. 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 and that the value of the special benefits must reasonably exceed the cost of the assessment: "No assessment shall be imposed on any parcel which exceeds the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel." 81 CITY OF MOORPARK LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING MAINTENANCE ASSESSMENT DISTRICTS ENGINEER’S REPORT, FY 2022‐23 Page 18 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 lighting and landscaping improvements to be provided with the assessment proceeds. These categories of special benefit are summarized as follows: A. Proximity to Improved Landscaped Areas and Other Public Improvements within the Assessment Districts. B. Access to Improved landscaped areas and Other Public Improvements within the Assessment Districts. C. Improved Views within the Assessment Districts. D. Extension of a property’s outdoor areas and green spaces for properties within close proximity to the Improvements. E. Creation of individual lots for residential and commercial use that, in absence of the assessments, would not have been created. F. Drainage of water and runoff from property in the District G. Protection from flooding and standing water due to the improved drainage systems In this case, the recent the SVTA v. SCCOSA decision provides enhanced clarity to the definitions of special benefits to properties in three distinct areas: Proximity Expanded or improved access Views The SVTA v. SCCOSA decision also clarifies that a special benefit is a service or improvement that provides a direct advantage to a parcel and that indirect or derivative advantages resulting from the overall public benefits from a service or improvement are general benefits. The SVTA v. SCCOSA decision also provides specific guidance that park improvements are a direct advantage and special benefit to property that is proximate to a park that is improved by an assessment: The characterization of a benefit may depend on whether the parcel receives a direct advantage from the improvement (e.g. proximity to a park) or receives an indirect, derivative advantage resulting from the overall public benefits of the improvement (e.g. general enhancement of the district’s property values). Proximity, improved access and views, in addition to the other special benefits listed above further strengthen the basis of these assessments. 82 CITY OF MOORPARK LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING MAINTENANCE ASSESSMENT DISTRICTS ENGINEER’S REPORT, FY 2022‐23 Page 19 General versus Special Benefit The Assessments allow the City to provide permanent public Improvements within its boundaries at a much higher level than what otherwise would be provided in absence of the Assessments. Moreover, in absence of the Assessments, the Improvements would not be provided because the City does not have alternative available funds to provide the Improvements. All of the Assessment proceeds derived from the Assessment Districts will be utilized to fund the cost of providing a level of tangible “special benefits” in the form of landscaped parkways, landscaped medians, landscaped corridors, lights, signs, trail systems, drainage facilities, other Improvements and costs incidental to providing the Improvements and collecting the Assessments. The Assessments are also structured to provide specific Improvements within each Zone of Benefit and / or Assessment District, further ensuring that the Improvements funded by the Assessments are of specific and special benefit to property within each Zone of Benefit and / or Assessment District. Although these Improvements may be available to the general public at large, the permanent public Improvements in the Assessment Districts were specifically designed, located and created to provide additional and improved public resources for the direct advantage of property inside the Assessment Districts, and not the public at large. Other properties that are either outside the Assessment Districts or within the Assessment Districts and not assessed, do not enjoy the unique proximity, access, views and other special benefit factors described previously. Moreover, many of the homes in the Assessment Districts would not have been built if the Assessments were not established because an assessment for the Improvements was a condition of development approval. In summary, real property located within the boundaries of the Assessment Districts distinctly and directly benefits from closer proximity, access and views of Improvements funded by the Assessments, the creation of developable parcels, the extension of usable land area provided by the Assessments and other special benefits. The Improvements are specifically designed to serve local properties in each Assessment District, not other properties or the public at large. The Assessment Districts have been narrowly drawn to include those parcels that receive a direct advantage from the Improvements. The public at large and other properties outside the Assessment Districts receive only limited benefits from the Improvements because they do not have proximity, good access or views of the Improvements. These are special benefits to property in the Assessment Districts in much the same way that sewer and water facilities, sidewalks and paved streets enhance the utility and desirability of property and make them more functional to use, safer and easier to access. 83 CITY OF MOORPARK LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING MAINTENANCE ASSESSMENT DISTRICTS ENGINEER’S REPORT, FY 2022‐23 Page 20 Without the Assessments, the public improvements within the Assessment Districts would not be maintained and would turn into brown, unmaintained and unusable public improvements and public lands. If this happened, it would create a significant and material negative impact on the desirability, utility and value of property in the Assessment Districts. The Improvements are, therefore, clearly above what otherwise would be provided. In fact, it is reasonable to assume that if Assessments were not collected and the Improvements were not maintained as a result, properties in the Assessment Districts would decline in desirability, utility and value by significantly more than the amount of the Assessment. We therefore conclude that all the landscaping Improvements funded by the Assessment are of special benefit to the identified benefiting properties located within the Assessment Districts and that the value of the special benefits from such Improvements to property in the Assessment Districts reasonably exceeds the cost of the Assessments for every assessed parcel in the Assessment Districts. (In other words, as required by Proposition 218: the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on each parcel reasonably exceeds the cost of the assessments.) Quantification of General Benefit Although the analysis used to support these Assessments concludes that the benefits are solely special, as described above, consideration is made for the suggestion that a portion of the benefits are general. General benefits cannot be funded by these assessments ‐ the funding must come from other sources. The maintenance and servicing of these Improvements is also partially funded, directly and indirectly from other sources including City of Moorpark, the County of Ventura and the State of California. This funding comes in the form of grants, development fees, special programs, and general funds, as well as direct maintenance and servicing of facilities (e.g. curbs, gutters, streets, drainage systems, etc.) This funding from other sources more than compensates for general benefits, if any, received by the properties within the Assessments Districts. 84 CITY OF MOORPARK LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING MAINTENANCE ASSESSMENT DISTRICTS ENGINEER’S REPORT, FY 2022‐23 Page 21 In the 2009 Dahms case, the court upheld an assessment that was 100% special benefit on the rationale that the services funded by the assessments were directly provided within the assessment district. It is also important to note that the improvements and services funded by the assessments in Pomona are similar to the improvements and services funded by the Assessments described in this Engineer’s Report and the Court found these improvements and services to be 100% special benefit. Also similar to the assessments in Pomona, the Assessments described in this Engineer’s Report fund improvements and services directly provided within the Assessment Districts and every benefiting property in the Assessment Districts enjoys proximity and access to the Improvements. Therefore, Dahms establishes a basis for minimal or zero general benefits from the Assessments. The General Benefits from these Assessments may be quantified as illustrated in the following table. Benefit Factor Relative Weight General Benefit Contribution Relative General Benefit Creation of parcels 90 0%0 Extension of recreation area 2 10%0.2 Proximity to improved parks and recreational facilities 2 10%0.2 Access to improved parks, open space and recreational areas 2 10%0.2 Improved views 2 10%0.2 Improved nighttime visibility and safety from streetlights 2 20%0.4 100 1.2 Total Calculated General Benefit = 1.2% As a result, the City will contribute at least 1.2% of the total budget from sources other than the Assessments. This contribution offsets any general benefits from the Improvements. This general benefit contribution is the sum of the following components: The City and / or Homeowners Association owns, maintains, rehabilitates and replaces curb and gutter along the border of the Assessment Districts Improvements. This curb and gutter serves to support, contain, retain, manage irrigation flow and growth, and provide a boundary for the improvements. The contribution from the City and / or Homeowners Association towards general benefit from the maintenance, rehabilitation and replacement of the curb and gutter is conservatively estimated to be 1%. 85 CITY OF MOORPARK LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING MAINTENANCE ASSESSMENT DISTRICTS ENGINEER’S REPORT, FY 2022‐23 Page 22 The City and / or Homeowners Association owns and maintains local public streets along the border of the Assessment District Improvements. These public streets provide access to the Improvements for its enjoyment as well as efficient maintenance. The contribution from the City and / or Homeowners Association towards general benefit from the maintenance of local public streets is conservatively estimated to be 1%. The value of the construction of the Improvements can be quantified and monetized as an annuity. Since this construction was performed and paid for by non‐assessment funds, this “annuity” can be used to offset general benefit costs, and is conservatively estimated to contribute 25%. Therefore the total General Benefit is conservatively quantified at 1.2% which is more than offset by the total non‐assessment contribution towards general benefit of 27%. 86 CITY OF MOORPARK LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING MAINTENANCE ASSESSMENT DISTRICTS ENGINEER’S REPORT, FY 2022‐23 Page 23 Method of Assessment The next 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 as the base unit. This base unit methodology is commonly used to distribute assessments in proportion to estimated special benefit and is generally recognized as providing the basis for a fair and appropriate distribution of assessments. For the purposes of this Engineer’s Report, all properties are designated a base unit 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 assigned one Equivalent Dwelling Unit (“EDU”) or base unit. Assessment Apportionment Lighting The single family home has been selected as the base unit for the assessments. By definition, a single family home located on a street that has existing streetlights is assigned 1 EDU or base benefit unit. This assessment rate, which is composed of benefit factors, which correspond to the following types of benefit. People Use ‐ People related benefits 0.50 Security Benefit ‐ Property protection 0.25 Intensity ‐ Degree of illumination 0.25 Assessment Rate: 1.00 Parcels in other land use categories, including publicly owned parcels, were then rated by comparison with the basic unit. People Use ‐ People related benefits 1. Reduction in night accidents. 2. Reduced vulnerability to criminal assault during hours of business. 3. Promotion of business operations during evening hours. 4. Increased safety on roads and highways. Security Benefit ‐ Property Protection 1. Reduction in vandalism and other criminal acts, and damage to improvements. 2. Reduction in burglaries. 87 CITY OF MOORPARK LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING MAINTENANCE ASSESSMENT DISTRICTS ENGINEER’S REPORT, FY 2022‐23 Page 24 Intensity: Intensity or degree of illumination provided on streets varies with type of street, date of installation and the use of the property adjacent thereto. Landscaping The landscaping element of the spread formula recognizes that all properties within the City benefit from the maintenance of the landscaping within the public right‐of‐way and easements. These benefits include improved safety resulting from a regular tree trimming program and improved street sweeping capabilities resulting from trimming trees which may otherwise interface with street sweeping operations. The method of spreading maintenance costs is based upon the assessment rates, and the assessment rates are determined by the "people use" attributed to each land use within the City. This method was chosen because the benefit received is directly proportionate to the number of people generated by each land use. Recognizing that residential land uses within the City derive a higher degree of benefit than non‐ residential land uses the formula was subdivided into two main groups, with residential land uses contributing in 75% of the assessment and non‐residential uses being assessed for the remaining 25% of the maintenance costs. The single family home has been selected as the base unit for the spread of assessment. The base unit has assigned an assessment rate of 4. Parcels in other land use categories, including publicly owned parcels, were rated by comparison with the basic unit. See Table 1 for further detail regarding the assessment rates and annual assessment for property by land use classification.

Accordingly, all such properties shall be exempt from the Zone 12 assessments. In addition, in that the portion of the total assessment allocated to the Institutional Properties is spread to only lots 3 and 4 of Tract 4974, the slope adjacent to Spring Road (APN # 512‐0‐270‐065) is exempt. The assessments for Zone 12 can be increased annually after fiscal year 2000‐01 to cover increases in the cost of maintenance, installation and servicing of the improvements. The rate of any annual increase shall be based upon the increase in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) for all Urban Consumers for the Los Angeles Metropolitan Area, for the calendar year ending the December prior to the Fiscal Year of the proposed assessment. Any increase to the assessment for Zone 12 may include any increase deferred in any and all prior years. As the amount of the annual increase in the Los Angeles Area Consumer Price Index from December 2020 to December 2021 is 6.56% the maximum levy rate for fiscal year 2022‐23 is 6.56% above the maximum levy rate for fiscal year 2021‐22.
