Additionally, the resolution identifies the date for the Public Hearing to consider the levy of said assessment for FY 2007/08. DISCUSSION In 1984, a Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance Assessment District (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 the maintenance of certain specific areas. Later, these Zones were changed to District 1 through District 12 (District 13 is now unassigned). Since 1984, the City has formed additional assessment districts to fund the maintenance of certain landscape improvements in and adjacent to: 2001 • Tract 5201, Wilshire Builders (AD01 -1, District 14) • Tract 4928, Toll Brothers (ADO 1 -2, District 15) • Tract 5166, Cabrillo (AD01 -3, District 16) 2004 • Tract 5307, Colmer Development (AD04 -01, District 18) _00052 Honorable City Council May 21, 2008 Page 2 2005 • PM 5264, M &M Development (AD05 -01, District 19) 2006 • Tract 5133, Shea Homes (AD06 -01, District 21) 2007 • Tract 5045, Pardee Homes (AD07 -01, District 22) • Tract 5187, Lyon Homes (AD07 -02, District 20) • IPD 2000 -10, Casino Storage (AD07 -04, District 24) • CPD 2004 -01, Nearon (AD07 -03, District 25) WI: • Tract 5130, SuncalNistas (AD07 -03, District 23) * • CPD 2004 -03, Warehouse Discount (AD08 -XX, District 26)* *In process and not a part of this report As part of the annual budget process, the City Council considers whether or not 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 December 5, 2007, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2007 -2662 directing the preparation of said Engineer's Report. Engineer's Report The FY 08/09 Engineer's Report for the subject Assessment District has been distributed to the City Council by separate memo. This 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 assessments; • the amount of the annual assessments; • information regarding cost of living adjustments; • information pertaining to reductions to the amounts levied in order to keep assessment fund reserve balances within certain prescribed limits; and • a description of improvements to be maintained.

This method (benefit spread formula, etc.) is unchanged from prior years. The assessment amounts proposed for FY08 /09 are set forth in Exhibit 1. S: \Community Services\ADMINISTRATIVE \CC Reports\2008 \6 -4 -2008 (AD Engineer Rpt).doc Honorable City Council May 21, 2008 Page 4 The per lot (per acre) assessment amounts set forth in the Engineer's Report for Citywide Landscape and Lighting Zone /District, and Zone /Districts 1 through 11 are the same as those set last year. Any action to otherwise increase these assessments may not be taken 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 Districts 12 through 25, the annual assessments for these Districts may be increased annually to cover cost -of- living (COLA) increases. This calculation is referred to as the "maximum assessment ". The assessment amounts set forth in Exhibit 1 include these COLA Adjustments which are also summarized as follows: MAXIMUM ASSESSMENTS FOR ZONES 12 - 25 Improvement Reserve Ceiling The Engineer's Report provides for a Capital Reserve Account for each District. Consistent with past City Council action, the Engineer's Report stipulates that Capital Reserve Account for any Zone /District not exceed an amount equal to three (3) times the annual operating budget for that Zone /District. Should the projected Year -End Fund Balance for any Zone /District exceed that "ceiling ", the amount of the assessment shall remain unchanged; but the amount of the assessment to be levied upon the affected properties shall be reduced to a lesser amount, but not lower than 10 percent of the actual assessment, as determined by the Assessment Engineer to be consistent with these guidelines. Pursuant to the above policy, those Zones /Districts which are estimated to end the FY 08/09 with fund balances that exceeds the Capital Reserve cap and will be levied an amount lower than the maximum assessment set forth in Exhibit 1 and are as follows: S: \Community Services\ADMINISTRATIVE \CC Reports\2008 \6-4 -2008 (AD Engineer Rpt).doc Assessment Amount Maximum Assmnt.

Of the $301,442 estimated deficit, $150,721 will be recommended to be funded by gas tax and the remaining $150,721 will be recommended to be funded by the general fund. FY 08/09 Fund Deficits As costs for maintenance and utilities continue to increase, additional Zones /Districts will operate with deficits.

As a result, they may not match the draft budget presented to the Council. As has been the case for the past several years, staff will return to the Council with a request to fund the actual deficits from the Gas Tax and General Fund reserves. Historically, this occurs about six to nine months after the end of the fiscal year after the City's auditors have completed their review of the City's financial records. Public Hearing Attached as Exhibit 2 is a Resolution approving the subject Engineer's Report and setting June 18, 2008, as the date of a public hearing to consider the levy of the assessments for the Landscaping and Lighting Assessment Districts for Fiscal Year 2008/09. This resolution will also serve as the public hearing notice for the June18 public hearing. FISCAL IMPACT Due to the fixed maximum assessment rates in the Citywide District and Zones /Districts 1 through 11 and increasing maintenance and operations costs, it is anticipated that the City will need to allocate approximately $372,487 (50% General Fund/ 50% Gas Tax) to cover deficits at the end of FY 2008/09.

In addition, the City formed Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance Assessment Districts No. AD -01 -1, AD -01 -2, AD -01 -3, AD -04 -1, AD -05 -1, AD -06 -1, AD -07- 1, AD -07 -2, AD -07 -3 and AD -07 -4 (the "LLDs ") to provide funding for additional parkway landscape maintenance and improvement expenses in specific areas as described below. These Assessment Districts (collectively "the Assessment Districts ") were formed pursuant to the provisions of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 (the "Act "). Within the Assessment Districts, there are three types of assessments, generally described as follows: 1. Citywide Assessments: assessments for AD84 -2 applied to all parcels within the City that receive benefits. 2. Zone Assessments: assessments for AD84 -2 applied to properties within certain Zones of Benefit to fund improvements and maintenance services which benefit those properties. 3. District Assessments: assessments for the LLDs applied to properties within certain boundaries to fund improvements and maintenance services which benefit those properties. Citywide Assessments Within AD84 -2, there are two types of expenses funded by distinct Citywide assessments: 1. Street lighting costs associated with City -owned and Southern California Edison (S.C.E.) owned streetlights distributed to all benefiting properties within City limits. 2.

Due to rounding, Assessment differs slightly from Table 1 of the Engineer's Report. 2) The Fund Balance shown on the budget includes operating reserves and the Capital Improvement Reserve Fund. Each Assessment District and / or Zone has a Capital Improvement Reserve Fund to provide funding for unforeseen expenses (slope failures, etc.). The projected year -end balance for said Capital Improvement Reserve Funds shall not exceed three (3) years of estimated program costs for each district or zone; and if and when it is determined that levying the maximum authorized assessment for any district or zone in any given year, would cause the Capital Improvement Reserve Fund for that district or zone to exceed said limit, then the amount of the approved assessment which shall be "levied" upon the properties in said district or zone, shall be reduced to an amount which is estimated to not cause said Capital Improvement Reserve Fund year -end balance to exceed said limit. In any event, the amount of the assessment shall always remain unchanged. Any reduction to the amount actually levied upon the property, shall not affect the maximum authorized assessment amount for that or any future year. In the event the amount levied is less than the maximum authorized assessment amount, the amount levied shall not be less than 10% of the maximum authorized assessment. CITY OF MOORPARK LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING MAINTENANCE ASSESSMENT DISTRICTS Consu ltingG roup ENGINEER'S REPORT, FY 2008 -09 PAGE 13 METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT 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 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. Moreover, such benefit is not based on any one property owner's use of the City's lighting and landscaping 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. " 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 derived from the statutes passed by the California Legislature and other studies which describe the types of special CITY OF MOORPARK LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING MAINTENANCE ASSESSMENT DISTRICTS ConsultingGroup ENGINEER'S REPORT, FY 2008 -09 PAGE 14 benefit received by property from maintenance and improvements such as those proposed by the Assessment Districts. These types of special benefit are summarized as follows: A. Protection of views, scenery and other resources values and environmental benefits enjoyed by residents, customers and guests and preservation of public assets maintained by the City. B. Increased public safety from enhanced lighting throughout the Assessment Districts. C. Potential for increased economic opportunity. D. Reduced cost of local government in law enforcement, public health care, and fire prevention because well- maintained and well - lighted public facilities, roadway medians and setbacks enhance public safety and help prevent slip and fall injuries. E. Enhanced quality of life and desirability of the area. F. Specific enhancement of property values. These benefit factors, when applied to property in the Assessment Districts, specifically increase the value of the land within the Assessment Districts. For example, the assessments will provide funding to improve and maintain the landscaping adjoining the properties in the District and to operate public street lighting. Such improved and well - maintained facilities enhance the overall quality and desirability properties. 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 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 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. 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.

Like other video conferencing technologies, IP video uses cameras and microphones to capture the video and audio signals produced at each site. The heart of the IP video system is a specialized piece of equipment called a codec, which stands for Coder /DECoder. The codec acts something like a television. Rather than picking up broadcast signals from the air and turning those signals into audio and video, a codec receives its signal in data format over the Internet and displays it in viewable form on a monitor. A computer may be an integrated part of the codec, or the codec may be a separate piece of hardware that is hooked up to an existing computer. Encoded video data are sent over the Internet to participating sites, where receiving systems decode the data for viewing by the other conference participants. A new capability called Quality of Service ensures that regardless of the amount of Internet traffic your location is experiencing, your video will never suffer. Deciding on a theme will be influenced by curriculum priorities. Video conferencing allows you to see and interact with individuals or groups in real time on a visual and personal level. Preparation Whatever system you have, it is essential that you feel comfortable using it. You may have to connect the component parts of the system. A diagram and color -coded connections can simplify this. A perfect image is not essential but poor sound quality can ruin a conference. Remember to use the mute control on your system to prevent the echo effect. Arrange an informal test before the event. Check seating positions, lighting, microphone positions, and so on. Also, ensure that you know how to mute out the sound when you are not talking. In addition to the technical preparation, it is important to practice in front of the camera and give pupil's opportunities to ask questions about the technology and how it works so that they can concentrate on the real purpose when participating in the conference. They should remember to: • keep background movement to a minimum • look directly into the video camera • listen to other participants so they can respond directly • speak slowly and clearly • pause before responding • good manners are essential and they should behave as if the other participants are in the same room. 11 I�J�YJL IS A designated person in each location should have a mobile phone on in case of technical difficulties. Also make sure there are spare batteries for hand sets /remote controls, and so on. Managing a conference If the video or audio quality is poor at the start of the conference, try adjusting the lighting and microphone position. If this does not work, try hanging up and redialing or rebooting the system. Use the mobile phones to discuss difficulties with other participants. A video conference is not the same as face -to -face teaching: the conference needs to utilize the visual qualities and interactivity available. Everyone is used to watching video rather than interacting with it so strategies must be developed to engage learners in the process. The approaches will depend on the participants and the size of the group. This can be done by: • reminding attendees of the things they practiced in front of the camera If for some reason the conference has to be cancelle apologize to other participants as quickly as possibl( Remember to thank all participants for taking part. Evaluation It will be necessary to evaluate in terms of the meeting objectives and to consider whether other methods could have been used more effectively. The process also needs to be evaluated in terms of the technology and the participants. In evaluating the technology consider the quality of the images and sound. Was the equipment reliable and appropriate for the task? Would an extra camera or monitor have helped? Were technical skills adequate? In terms of the participants consider the degree of interactivity and involvement of all pupils. Also think about the structure of the conference. • pre- assigning activities and responsibilities (technical roles as well as participant roles) Was it appropriate to the needs of the group? • introducing the participants and sharing the names of pupils /students involved so that specific individuals can be involved in discussions • sharing an agenda so all participants know what to expect • providing documents for annotation and note - taking • involving guests speakers /expert to add another perspective /provide specific information /answer questions • breaking -up the session with activities away from the screen that can be discussed /shared later (these might include role plays or debates) • using other media to support the learning (may need other cameras). Was the timing right? How did participants respond to the camera? Recommendations for improvements and future developments should be clearly documented. Appropriate feedback should be shared with other participants.
