Ad84_01- 2_report C 1'0()..12 AD 84 -2: Engineer's Report June 11, 2001 Page 4 H. Zone 12 Cost of Living Adjustments It is proposed that the Zone 12 assessment for FY 2001/02 be increased in accordance with those provisions of the Engineer's Report which provide for an annual cost -of- living adjustment to that assessment. The amounts of the adjusted Zone 12 assessments for FY 2001/2 are summarized as follows: Note: The above cost -of- living adjustment is based upon an increase to the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for all Urban Consumers for the Los Angeles Metropolitan Area, for the calendar year ending Dec. 2000, in the amount of 3.7% [167.3 > 173.51. Should the City Council elect to not increase the Zone 12 assessment in any given year, by all or any portion of the allowable cost -of- living adjustment, said deferred assessment increase may be added in any subsequent Fiscal Year. I. Street Lighting Cost Increase Due to the recent increase in electrical energy costs, the cost of street lighting is expected to increase 7% during Fiscal Year 2000/01 and another 12% during Fiscal Year 2001/02. For this reason the small amount of reserve in this fund will be depleted. It is anticipated that the fund balance for the Street Lighting Fund [Fund 2300 -31001 will show a negative amount of approximately $28,000 by June 30, 2002. It is not recommended at this time that there be any action taken to provide for "fill -in" funding from another source for this anticipated shortfall. Such action can be taken, if necessary, at or near the end of Fiscal Year 2001/2002.

Page 7 V. METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT A. 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 Moorpark Lighting Maintenance Assessment District No. AD84 -2. The District 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 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 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. B. 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 City of Moorpark Lighting Maintenance Assessment District No. AD84 -2 06108101 Engineer's Report, Fiscal Year 2001 -02, by Shilts Consultants, Inc. Page 8 C9(.41 03 from the statutes passed by the California Legislature and other studies which describe the types of special benefit received by property from maintenance and improvements such as those proposed by the City of Moorpark Lighting Maintenance Assessment District. 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 District. 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 District, specifically increase the value of the land within the District. 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. C. 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. D. Assessment Apportionment 1. 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 City of Moorpark Lighting Maintenance Assessment District No. AD84 -2 06108101 Engineer's Report, Fiscal Year 2001 -02, by Shilts Consultants, Inc. Page 9 L 30104 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. 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. 2. 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.

Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the provisions of this article shall apply to all assessments, fees and charges, whether imposed pursuant to state statute or local government charter authority. Nothing in this article or Article XIIIC shall be construed to: (a) Provide any new authority to any agency to impose a tax, assessment, fee, or charge. (b) Affect existing laws relating to the imposition of fees or charges as a condition of property development. (c) Affect existing laws relating to the imposition of timber yield taxes.

"Assessment" includes, but is not limited to, "special assessment," "benefit assessment," "maintenance assessment" and "special assessment tax." (c) "Capital cost" means the cost of acquisition, installation, construction, reconstruction, or replacement of a permanent public improvement by an agency.

City of Moorpark Lighting Maintenance Assessment District No. AD84 -2 06108101 Engineer's Report, Fiscal Year 2001 -02, by Shilts Consultants, Inc. Page 22 A, (f) "Maintenance and operation expenses" means the cost of rent, repair, replacement, rehabilitation, fuel, power, electrical current, care, and supervision necessary to properly operate and maintain a permanent public improvement. (g) "Property ownership" shall be deemed to include tenancies of real property where tenants are directly liable to pay the assessment, fee, or charge in question. (h) "Property- related service" means a public service having a direct relationship to property ownership. (i) "Special benefit" means a particular and distinct benefit over and above general benefits conferred on real property located in the district or to the public at large. General enhancement of property value does not constitute "special benefit." CALIFORNIA CONSTITUTION ARTICLE 13D (ASSESSMENT AND PROPERTY - RELATED FEE REFORM) SEC. 3. Property Taxes, Assessments, Fees and Charges Limited. (a) No tax, assessment, fee, or charge shall be assessed by any agency upon any parcel of property or upon any person as an incident of property ownership except: (1) The ad valorem property tax imposed pursuant to Article XIII and Article XIIIA. (2) Any special tax receiving a two- thirds vote pursuant to Section 4 of Article XIIIA. (3) Assessments as provided by this article. (4) Fees or charges for property related services as provided by this article. (b) For purposes of this article, fees for the provision of electrical or gas service shall not be deemed charges or fees imposed as an incident of property ownership. CALIFORNIA CONSTITUTION ARTICLE 13D (ASSESSMENT AND PROPERTY - RELATED FEE REFORM) SEC. 4. Procedures and Requirements for All Assessments. (a) An agency which proposes to levy an assessment shall identify all parcels which will have a special benefit conferred upon them and upon which an assessment will be imposed. The proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel shall be determined in relationship to the entirety of the capital cost of a public improvement, the maintenance and operation expenses of a public improvement, or the cost of the property related service being provided. No assessment shall be imposed on any parcel which exceeds the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel. Only special benefits are assessable, and an agency shall separate the general benefits from the special benefits conferred on a parcel. Parcels within a district that are owned or used by any agency, the State of California or the United States shall not be exempt from assessment unless the agency can demonstrate by clear and convincing evidence that those publicly owned parcels in fact receive no special benefit. (b) All assessments shall be supported by a detailed engineer's report prepared by a registered professional engineer certified by the State of California. City of Moorpark Lighting Maintenance Assessment District No. AD84 -2 06108101 Engineer's Report, Fiscal Year 2001 -02, by Shilts Consultants, Inc. Page 23,; ,, (c) The amount of the proposed assessment for each identified parcel shall be calculated and the record owner of each parcel shall be given written notice by mail of the proposed assessment, the total amount thereof chargeable to the entire district, the amount chargeable to the owner's particular parcel, the duration of the payments, the reason for the assessment and the basis upon which the amount of the proposed assessment was calculated, together with the date, time, and location of a public hearing on the proposed assessment. Each notice shall also include, in a conspicuous place thereon, a summary of the procedures applicable to the completion, return, and tabulation of the ballots required pursuant to subdivision (d), including a disclosure statement that the existence of a majority protest, as defined in subdivision (e), will result in the assessment not being imposed. (d) Each notice mailed to owners of identified parcels within the district pursuant to subdivision (c) shall contain a ballot which includes the agency's address for receipt of the ballot once completed by any owner receiving the notice whereby the owner may indicate his or her name, reasonable identification of the parcel, and his or her support or opposition to the proposed assessment. (e) The agency shall conduct a public hearing upon the proposed assessment not less than 45 days after mailing the notice of the proposed assessment to record owners of each identified parcel. At the public hearing, the agency shall consider all protests against the proposed assessment and tabulate the ballots. The agency shall not impose an assessment if there is a majority protest. A majority protest exists if, upon the conclusion of the hearing, ballots submitted in opposition to the assessment exceed the ballots submitted in favor of the assessment. In tabulating the ballots, the ballots shall be weighted according to the proportional financial obligation of the affected property. (f) In any legal action contesting the validity of any assessment, the burden shall be on the agency to demonstrate that the property or properties in question receive a special benefit over and above the benefits conferred on the public at large and that the amount of any contested assessment is proportional to, and no greater than, the benefits conferred on the property or properties in question. (g) Because only special benefits are assessable, electors residing within the district who do not own property within the district shall not be deemed under this Constitution to have been deprived of the right to vote for any assessment. If a court determines that the Constitution of the United States or other federal law requires otherwise, the assessment shall not be imposed unless approved by a two- thirds vote of the electorate in the district in addition to being approved by the property owners as required by subdivision (e).

Page 24 L 90 �. � ;_9 SEC. 5. Effective Date. Pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 10 of Article II, the provisions of this article shall become effective the day after the election unless otherwise provided. Beginning July 1, 1997, all existing, new, or increased assessments shall comply with this article. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following assessments existing on the effective date of this article shall be exempt from the procedures and approval process set forth in Section 4: (a) Any assessment imposed exclusively to finance the capital costs or maintenance and operation expenses for sidewalks, streets, sewers, water, flood control, drainage systems or vector control. Subsequent increases in such assessments shall be subject to the procedures and approval process set forth in Section 4. (b) Any assessment imposed pursuant to a petition signed by the persons owning all of the parcels subject to the assessment at the time the assessment is initially imposed. Subsequent increases in such assessments shall be subject to the procedures and approval process set forth in Section 4. (c) Any assessment the proceeds of which are exclusively used to repay bonded indebtedness of which the failure to pay would violate the Contract Impairment Clause of the Constitution of the United States. (d) Any assessment which previously received majority voter approval from the voters voting in an election on the issue of the assessment. Subsequent increases in those assessments shall be subject to the procedures and approval process set forth in Section 4. CALIFORNIA CONSTITUTION ARTICLE 13D (ASSESSMENT AND PROPERTY - RELATED FEE REFORM) SEC. 6. Property Related Fees and Charges. (a) Procedures for New or Increased Fees and Charges. An agency shall follow the procedures pursuant to this section in imposing or increasing any fee or charge as defined pursuant to this article, including, but not limited to, the following: (1) The parcels upon which a fee or charge is proposed for imposition shall be identified. The amount of the fee or charge proposed to be imposed upon each parcel shall be calculated. The agency shall provide written notice by mail of the proposed fee or charge to the record owner of each identified parcel upon which the fee or charge is proposed for imposition, the amount of the fee or charge proposed to be imposed upon each, the basis upon which the amount of the proposed fee or charge was calculated, the reason for the fee or charge, together with the date, time, and location of a public hearing on the proposed fee or charge. (2) The agency shall conduct a public hearing upon the proposed fee or charge not less than 45 days after mailing the notice of the proposed fee or charge to the record owners of each identified parcel upon which the fee or charge is proposed for imposition. At the public hearing, the agency shall consider all protests against the proposed fee or charge. If written protests against the proposed fee or charge are presented by a majority of owners of the identified parcels, the agency shall not impose the fee or charge. City of Moorpark Lighting Maintenance Assessment District No. AD84 -2 06108101 Engineer's Report, Fiscal Year 2001 -02, by Shilts Consultants, Inc. Page 25 ��,� (b) Requirements for Existing, New or Increased Fees and Charges. A fee or charge shall not be extended, imposed, or increased by any agency unless it meets all of the following requirements: (1) Revenues derived from the fee or charge shall not exceed the funds required to provide the property related service. (2) Revenues derived from the fee or charge shall not be used for any purpose other than that for which the fee or charge was imposed. (3) The amount of a fee or charge imposed upon any parcel or person as an incident of property ownership shall not exceed the proportional cost of the service attributable to the parcel. (4) No fee or charge may be imposed for a service unless that service is actually used by, or immediately available to, the owner of the property in question. Fees or charges based on potential or future use of a service are not permitted. Standby charges, whether characterized as charges or assessments, shall be classified as assessments and shall not be imposed without compliance with Section 4. (5) No fee or charge may be imposed for general governmental services including, but not limited to, police, fire, ambulance or library services, where the service is available to the public at large in substantially the same manner as it is to property owners. Reliance by an agency on any parcel map, including, but not limited to, an assessor's parcel map, may be considered a significant factor in determining whether a fee or charge is imposed as an incident of property ownership for purposes of this article. In any legal action contesting the validity of a fee or charge, the burden shall be on the agency to demonstrate compliance with this article. (c) Voter Approval for New or Increased Fees and Charges. Except for fees or charges for sewer, water, and refuse collection services, no property related fee or charge shall be imposed or increased unless and until that fee or charge is submitted and approved by a majority vote of the property owners of the property subject to the fee or charge or, at the option of the agency, by a two- thirds vote of the electorate residing in the affected area. The election shall be conducted not less than 45 days after the public hearing. An agency may adopt procedures similar to those for increases in assessments in the conduct of elections under this subdivision. (d) Beginning July 1, 1997, all fees or charges shall comply with this section.
