AGENDA REPORT
TO: The Honorable City Council
FROM: Mary K. Lindley, Parks, Recreation & Community Services Director
DATE: May 1, 2007 (Meeting June 6, 2007)
SUBJECT: Consider Resolution Approving the Engineer's Report for the
Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance Assessment Districts for
Fiscal Year 2007/2008 and Providing Notice of Public Hearing on June
20, 2007
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City Council is being asked to adopt the attached resolution, approving the
Assessment Engineer's Report (provided under separate cover), which contains the
methodology and formula for apportioning the property assessment for the City's
Landscape and Lighting Maintenance Assessment Districts. 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:

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 February 7, 2007, the
City Council adopted Resolution No. 2007-2562 directing the preparation of said
Engineer's Report.

including the following:
• a Boundary Map(s);
• the reason for the assessments;
• the duration of the assessments;

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 should 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 determined by the Assessment
Engineer to be consistent with these guidelines.
Decreased Levy Amounts
Pursuant to the above policy, the amounts to be levied upon the parcels in certain
Zones/Districts shall be less than the assessment amount set forth in Exhibit 1. A
summary of those adjustments is as follows:
FY 07/08
Est. Ending Three Times

Assessment Amounts Unchanged
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.
FY 06/07 Fund Deficits
It is anticipated that the FY 06/07 Year-End Fund Balance for certain Zones/Districts will
show a deficit. A summary of those anticipated deficits is as follows:
FY06/07
Fund Revenue ** Expenses Ending Bal.
2300 - Lighting $237,560 $256,862 ($19,302)
2300 Landscape $175,818 $343,662 ($167,844)
2305- Dist. 5 $32,294 $38,711 ($15,512)
2307 - Dist. 7 $16,215 $15,476 ($6,253)
2309 - Dist. 9 $1,418 $1,657 ($664)
It is the intent of staff to process fund transfers to "zero-out" the projected FY 06/07
deficits noted above. Of the $209,575 estimated deficit, $103,224 will be recommended
to be funded by gas tax and the remaining $106,351 will be recommended to be funded
by the general fund.
FY 07/08 Fund Deficits
It is anticipated that the FY 07/08 Year-End Fund Balance for certain Zones/Districts will
once more show a deficit. A summary of those anticipated deficits is as follows:
FY 07/08 FY 06/07
Fund Begin Bal. Revenue""" Expenses Ending Bal.
2300 - Landscaping 0 $177,215 $376,807 ($199,759)
2300 - Lighting 0 $231,765 $302,000 ($60,235)

The estimated FY 07/08 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 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.
Resolution
Attached as Exhibit 2 is a Resolution approving the subject Engineer's Report and setting
June 20, 2007, as the date of a public hearing to consider the levy of the assessments for
the Landscaping and Lighting Assessment Districts for Fiscal Year 2007/08. This
resolution will also serve as the public hearing notice for the June 20th public hearing.
