SUBJECT: Consider Final Review of the Assessment Engineer's Report for the
Landscape and Lighting Maintenance Assessment Districts for Fiscal
Year 2008/2009 and Resolution Confirming the Levy Amounts
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City Council is being asked to open the public hearing on the continuation of the
Landscape and Lighting Maintenance Assessment Districts for FY 2008/09, receive
testimony, close the Public Hearing, approve the final Engineer's Report (Report), and
adopt a resolution confirming the assessment levy.
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:

FY 2008/09 Assessment Amounts and Adjustment
The method used to establish the assessment amounts is set forth in the Engineer's
Report. This method (benefit spread formula, etc.) is unchanged from prior years. The
per lot (per acre) assessment amounts for Citywide Landscape and Lighting Zone /District,
S: \Community Services \ADMINISTRATIVE \CC Reports \2008 \6 -18 -2008 (AD Final Engineer
Rpt).doc
Honorable City Council

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 include these COLA Adjustments which are 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 are as follows:

Since Zones /Districts 1 through 11 were established without a cost -of- living adjustment
factor, and maximum assessment amount per unit cannot be increased. As
maintenance, and particularly utility costs, continue to rise, these Zones /Districts will
operate at a deficit, e.g., their costs will exceed expenditures. It is anticipated that
following Zones /Districts will have deficit Fund Balances at the end of FY 07/08:

The. $301,442 estimated deficit has been included in the draft FY 2008/09 budget. The
deficit funding source is split equally between the General Fund and Gas Tax. The City's
past practice was to cover year end deficits from the respective reserve funds after the
adoption to the new fiscal year budget.
FY 08/09 Fund Deficits
As costs for maintenance and utilities continue to increase, additional Zones /Districts will
operate with deficits. It is anticipated that the following Zones /Districts will have deficit
Fund Balances at the end of FY 08/09:

The estimated FY 08/09 fund deficits identified above are based on revenue estimates
generated by the City's Assessment Engineer (SCI), which were provided after initial
budget figures are complied. As a result, they may not match the final adopted by 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.
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.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
1) Open the Pubic Hearing, take public testimony, and close the Public Hearing.

The City of Moorpark's (the "City ") Lighting Maintenance Assessment District 84 -2 ("AD84 -
2") was formed in 1984 to provide funding for public street lighting and parkway /median
landscape maintenance and improvement expenses through the levy of benefit
assessments. 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. Landscape maintenance costs associated with parkway /median maintenance and
improvement distributed to all benefiting properties within City limits.
AD84 -2 Zone of Benefit Assessments
Landscape maintenance, servicing and improvement costs for AD84 -2 for unique Zones of
Benefit are allocated to all benefiting properties within each given zone of benefit. These
Zones of Benefit are summarized as follows:
1. Pecan Avenue, Tract No. 2851: Maintenance costs associated with landscaping in the
Ventura County Flood Control Easement and portions of the interior tract entry areas. The
obligation upon these 75 lots is pursuant to a condition of development.

Notes To The Estimate Of Cost
1) Landscape Assessment Rate For Single Family, Level 1 x Levy per Unit (Zone A) _
Annual Landscaping Assessment (4 x $3.30 = $13.20). 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.

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 0.50
Security Benefit - Property protection 0.25

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.
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.
