Request for Early Refund of Assessment District
Overpayment by Villa del Arroyo
In FY90/91, the Villa del Arroyo Mobile Home Park was overassessed
for lights, landscaping maintenance, and parks maintenance.
Assessment district engineers incorrectly calculated 300 home
spaces rather than the existing 240. Thus, the park was assessed
$11,481.32 for both districts, when it should have been assessed
$9,187.52.
In FY89/90, the Mobile Home Park was overassessed for lights and
landscaping maintenance by $303.81 and was underassessed by
$4,305.80 for parks maintenance. This resulted in a total due to
the City of $4,001.99. In accordance with City Council action late
last fiscal year, Villa del Arroyo was required to make up this
amount in FY90 /91. However, the park was actually billed $6175.92
because of the space number problem noted in the above paragraph.
Based on the following calculation,
FY90 /91 Property Tax Bill $17,656.24
FY90 /91 Assessments Due ($ 9,187.52)
FY89/90 Assessments Due ($ 4,001.99)
the Mobile Home Park is due a refund of $4,466.73.
Bessire and Casenhiser, the Mobile Home Park's management company,
has requested that one -half of the refund, or $2,233.37, be paid
after the December tax payment is made. The Park's managers state
that these funds are needed to assist in paying the April property
tax installment.

Memo to the Honorable City Council

Page 2
The underpayment of $4001.99 in FY89/90 will not be repaid until
both property tax payments are made. Therefore, an early refund
(if approved) should be timed to assist with the April 10, 1991
property tax payment. The second half of the overpayment would be
refunded after proof of payment of the second installment
is made to the City. If this occurs prior to April 1, 1991, a
refund would be processed as soon as proof of payment is made.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
When proof of payment of the December 1990 Villa del Arroyo
property tax bill is made, approve Villa del Arroyo's request for
an early refund of its overpayment of assessment district fees in
the amount of $2,233.37, and mail the refund on April 1, 1991. If
proof of both payments is made prior to April 1, 1991, process the
refund as soon as proof of payment is made.

Surplus AD 84 -2 Funds

F. Wall Problems
As you may know, staff is presently working with the successors
in interest in the Pacifica Development assets and liabilities,
toward the resolution of structural problems encountered with
the perimeter wall in the area of this proposed project. Be
advised that the final design of the parkway landscaping project
could be affected by the outcome of these efforts.
G. Cost Estimate
Based on the cost of the median improvements, it is the opinion
of staff that the cost of this project will not exceed the above
mentioned AD 84 -2 surplus. The development of a project cost
estimate would be a part of the project design development.
Staff recommends that the City Council take the following actions:
1) Authorize the use of the surplus AD 84 -2 improvement
assessments for the construction of the parkway improvements
described above.
2) Authorize staff to solicit proposals for a project design and
construction cost estimate compatible with future block wall
repair efforts.
