C. Assessment District Formation
IPD 2000 -10 was approved by City Council Resolution No. 2003 -2072. Condition No.
29 of that Resolution states that the developer shall sign a Petition & Waiver
requesting formation of an assessment district to fund City costs related to the
possible future maintenance of the Improvements by the City, and to fund on -going
assessment district administration costs. The name given to this proposed new
assessment district is Assessment District AD07 -04 [herein "District'].
Said condition also required the developer to grant to the City a landscape
maintenance easement for that portion of the Improvements located outside the State
and City street right -of -way.
D. Proposition 218
The provisions of Proposition 218 require that any new assessment, or any increase
to an existing assessment, must first be approved by a Mail Ballot provided to the
owner(s) of the affected properties. An alternative procedure for forming assessment
districts for new developments, is to have the developer(s) / property owner(s) sign a
Petition and Waiver 1) requesting the formation of the assessment district, and 2)
waiving all rights conferred by Proposition 218 with regard to Mail Ballots.
E. Petition and Waiver/ District Boundary Map
The property owner / developer of the Property has signed a Petition and Waiver
[herein "Petition "] (Attachment 2) requesting formation of the District. The District
boundary, as depicted on Exhibit 'A' of the Petition, is the property lines for the
Property. It should be noted that the developer has paid a fee to cover City costs
related to this District formation. [Note: The fund established for this new assessment
district is Fund 2324].
F. Improvements to be Maintained
The improvements to be maintained by the District are generally identified in Exhibits
'A' and 'C' of the Petition and are those Improvements referred to in Section A of this
report.
G. Resolution Initiating Proceedings
A Resolution has been prepared [Attachment 3] for the purpose of initiating the
proceedings necessary for the formation of the District. Should the City Council
approve and accept the Petition and adopt the attached Resolution, it would be the
intent of staff to have the City's Assessment Engineer proceed with the preparation of
the Engineer's Report for AD07 -04 [District 24], for FY 2007/08.

H. Primary Assessment & Back -Up Assessment
As described and defined in Exhibit 'B' of the Petition, the District will have a primary
and back -up assessment, generally described as follows:
1. Primary Assessment. The Primary Assessment is that amount deemed
sufficient to fund annual assessment district administration costs. The amount of
the Primary Assessment for FY 07/08, which is an amount equal to the estimated
administrative costs for FY 07/08, is $500. The Petition provides that each
subsequent fiscal year the City will determine the amount of the Primary
Assessment and that said amount shall be sufficient to cover actual past and
estimated future administrative costs, even if said amount exceeds the amount
determined for the initial fiscal year.
2. Back -Up Assessment. The Back -up Assessment is an amount equal to the
estimated cost for the maintenance of the Improvements, plus a ten percent
(10 %) contingency. The amount of Back -up Assessment for FY 07/08 is $21,753.
Background information pertaining to the cost of maintenance is set forth in
Exhibit "C" of the Petition.
3. Assessment vs. Levy. Each fiscal year the Engineer's Report for the District will
state that the total assessment amount will be an amount equal to the sum of the
Primary Assessment and the Back -up Assessment. However, the Engineer's
Report will also state that the amount to be levied upon the Property will be an
amount equal to the Primary Assessment plus all or any portion of the Back -up
Assessment required to maintain those Improvements maintained or to be
maintained by the City.
Future Proceedings
If the recommended action is taken, staff will retain the City's assessment
Engineering consultant to prepare the draft Engineer's Report for AD07 -04 for FY
2007/08. When completed, said Engineer's Report will be presented to the City
Council for preliminary approval. If the City Council preliminarily approves the
Engineer's Report, a public hearing will be scheduled to consider final approval of the
Engineer's Report and approval of the assessment amounts for FY 2007/08. It is
anticipated that thee proceedings will require approximately three (3) months.
J. Assessment Amount
The proposed assessment and levy amounts are discussed and defined in detail in
Exhibit 'B' of the Petition, and re -caped here as follows:

000053
Exhibit '13' [Page 3]
IPD 2000 -10: Assessment District AD07 -a
Summary Description
Amount of Assessment to be Levied
As stated elsewhere herein, it is the intent of the City to only levy that portion of the Fiscal
Year 2007/08 total assessment related to District administration costs. The amount of the FY
2007/08 assessment to be levied would, therefore, only be $500.00.
J Apportionment of Total Assessment Amount
1. General Provisions: The District is to consist of all of the public or privately owned
properties [herein "Parcels "] subject to the Development Plan, and /or any such Parcels or lots which
might be created at any date in the future by further subdivision of the properties within the
boundaries of the Development Plan.
2. Special vs. General Benefits: The method used for apportioning the assessment is
based upon the proportional special benefits to be derived by each Parcel within the District 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 benefit arising from the
improvements. and the second step is to allocate the assessments to each Parcel based upon the
estimated relative special benefit for each type of Parcel.
The types of special benefit to be derived by the "benefited" properties, resulting from the
installation, maintenance and servicing of the Improvements are generally summarized as follows.
a) Protection of views, scenery and other resource values and environmental benefits
enjoyed by residents, customers and guests and preservation of public assets maintained by the City
b) Potential for increased economic opportunity.
c) Reduced cost of local government in law enforcement, public healthcare, and fire
prevention because improved and well- maintained facilities provide a healthier alternative for youth
and adult activities.
d) Enhanced quality of life and desirability of the area
e) Specific enhancement of property values.
f) Creation of individual lots for commercial use that, in the absence of the
assessments, would not have been created.
These benefit factors, when applied to property within the District, specifically increase the
values of the land within the District. For example, the assessments will provide funding to improve
and maintain the landscaping upon and /or adjoining the properties in the District. Such improved and
well- maintained setback and median landscaping will enhance the overall quality and desirability of
the properties. In turn, property values are specifically enhanced by the availability of improved and
well- maintained landscaping in the area.
3 Special Benefits to Properties Within the District: It has been determined that all of
the properties within the District will receive a similar special benefit. The total annual assessment
will, therefore, be allocated to all properties in amounts proportionate to the size of each Parcel. The
Total Annual Assessment Amount will, therefore, be apportioned to each Assessor Parcel within the
District using a "Per.Acre" assessment amount.

Exhibit '13' [Pabc 41
HID 2000 -10: Assessment District AD07 -a
Summary Description
4. Delinquent Assessments: In the event the annual levied assessment for a previous
fiscal year for a property in the District is delinquent and uncollected, the budget for the new fiscal
year may be increased by the amount of the delinquent assessment, and the total budget, including
the delinquent assessment, may be allocated to all other non - delinquent properties on a "per acre"
basis. Any increase in the assessment on other properties in the District resulting from such
delinquent assessments, or the annual CPI adjustment (see below), will be considered authorized
increases in the assessment and shall not require additional approval by property owners through a
mailed assessment ballot proceeding, pursuant to Article XIIID of the California Constitution.
5 Cost of Living Adjustment The annual assessment is subject to an annual adjustment
tied to the Consumer Price Index for the Los Angeles Area as of December of each succeeding year
(CPI). In the event that the actual assessment rate for any given year is not increased by an amount
equal to the CPI change, any such deferred assessment increase may be added to the total amount
assessed in any subsequent year. In such event, the maximum authorized assessment amount shall
be equal to the base year assessment as adjusted by the increase to the CPI, plus any and all CPI
adjustments deferred in any and all prior years. In addition, the annual adjustment may be increased
due to delinquent assessments on property in the District, as specified above.
6. Appeals and Interpretation: Any property owner who feels that the proposed or
approved assessment amount for his/her property is in error as a result of incorrect information being
used to apply the forgoing method of assessment, may file a written appeal with the Director of
Public Works or his/her designee (herein "Director "). Any such appeal is limited to correction of an
assessment during the then current or, if before July 1, the upcoming fiscal year Upon the filing of
such an appeal, the Director will promptly review the appeal and any information provided by the
property owner. If the Director finds that the assessment amount should be modified, the appropriate
changes shall be made to the assessment roll. If any such changes are approved after the
assessment roll has been filed with the County for collection, the Director shall cause any refund
amount due to the property owner to be provided to said property owner. Any property owner who
disagrees with the decision of the Director may refer their appeal to the City Manager. Any property
owner who disagrees with the decision of the City Manager may refer their appeal to the City Council
The decision of the City Council shall be final.
K. Duration of Assessments
The assessment is an annual assessment approved, for a given fiscal year, in accordance
with the provisions of the Act. It is the intent of the City to undertake the review and approve of a new
annual assessment prior to the beginning of each fiscal year, for as long as the assessment is
deemed to be necessary and required by the City.
L. Capital Improvement Reserve Fund
The District will have a Capital Improvement Reserve Fund to provide for unforeseen
expenses. The projected year -end balance for the Capital Improvement Reserve Fund shall not
exceed three (3) years of estimated program costs for the District. If and when it is determined that
that levying the maximum authorized assessment for the District in any given year, would cause the
Capital Improvement Reserve Fund for the District to exceed said limit, then the amount of the
approved assessment which shall be levied upon the properties within the District, shall be reduced to
an amount which is estimated to not cause the Capital Improvement Reserve Fund year -end balance
to exceed said limit, provided the amount levied upon the properties in the District is not less than ten

Summary Description
percent (10 %) of the annual assessment amount. In such event, the amount of the assessment shall
remain unchanged. Any reduction to the amount actually levied upon the properties in the District
shall not affect the maximum authorized assessment amount for that or any future year.
Upon formation of the District, it is the intent of the City to limit the amount of the Capital
Reserve Fund to three hundred percent (300 %) of the estimated annual cost of maintaining and
servicing the medians and islands. Should it never become necessary for the City to undertake and
provide for the maintenance and servicing of the parkways, the upper limit for the Capital
Improvement Reserve Fund shall be equal to three hundred percent (300 %) of the total estimated
annual cost for the maintenance and servicing of all of the Improvements. Any fluctuations in the
amount of the assessment actually levied upon the parcels within the District in any given year, shall
not affect the maximum authorized assessment amount for that or any future year.
M. Reason for Assessment
The reason for the assessment is to fund City Cost for providing for the maintenance of the
Improvements.
N. Assessment Amount vs. Amount to be Levied
Upon formation of the District, that portion of the total assessment related to the administration
of the District shall be levied upon the Property; and that portion of the total assessment related to the
maintenance and servicing of the Improvements, as defined herein, shall not be levied upon the
Property unless and until the City determines, at its sole discretion, that the proper maintenance and
servicing of the Improvements requires the City to undertake and provide for same. In the event it
becomes necessary for the City to take over the maintenance and servicing of the Improvements.
both the Primary Assessment and the Back -up Assessment shall be levied upon the Property.
Prior to the beginning of each future fiscal year the City will undertake the efforts necessary to
approve the annual assessments as defined and described herein, including the annual CPI increase
and a determination with regard to the amount of the assessment to be levied upon the Property
Each year the City reserves the right to levy that amount necessary to recover actual administrative
costs, even if that amount exceeds the estimates set forth herein related to annual administrative
costs

3. Special Benefits to Properties Within the District It has been determined that all of the
residential parcels within the District will receive a similar special benefit. The total annual
assessment will, therefore, be allocated to all residential lots equally. Any parcels owned by the HOA
shall be exempt from the assessment.
