TO: The Honorable City Council FROM: Ron Ahlers, Finance Director DATE: May 22, 2017 (Meeting June 7, 2017) SUBJECT: Consider Final Review of the Assessment Engineer's Report for the Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance Assessment Districts and Resolution Confirming the Levy Amounts and Ordering the Continuation of Assessment for Fiscal Year 2017/2018 SUMMARY The City Council is being asked to open the public hearing on the continuation of the Landscape and Lighting Maintenance Assessment Districts (Assessment Districts) for fiscal year (FY) 2017/2018, receive testimony, close the public hearing, approve the final Assessment Engineer's Report (Engineer's Report), and adopt the resolution confirming the assessment levy. BACKGROUND In 1984, a Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance Assessment District No. AD 84-2 (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 improvements and the maintenance of certain specific areas. Later, these Zones were changed to District 1 through District 12. 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 (AD01-2, District 15 Zone A) • Tract 5463, Toll Land XX LP (AD01-2, District 15 Zone B') • Tract 5166, Cabrillo (AD01-3, District 16) t 1 Honorable City Council June 7, 2017 Page 2 2004 • Tract 5307, Colmer Development (AD04-01, District 18) 2005 • Tract 5264, M&M Development (AD05-01, District 19) 2006 • Tract 5133, Shea Homes (AD06-01, District 21 -Zone A) • Tract 5425, Shea Homes (AD06-01, District 21 -Zone B') 2007 • Tract 5187, Lyon Homes (AD07-02, District 20) • Tract 5045, Pardee Homes (AD07-01, District 22) • IPD 2000-10,Asadurian (AD07-04, District 24) ttittt 2008 • CPD 2004-01, Nearon (AD07-03, District 25) 2009 • CPD 2004-03, Warehouse Discount Center (AD09-01, District 26) ttt 2010 • CPD 2005-02, Tuscany Square (AD10-01, District 31) ttt • CPD 2005-03, HFR Investment I, LLC (AD10-02, District 32) ttt 2015 • Tract 5130, Vistas at Moorpark, (AD15-01, District 33) Notes: t Districts 13 and 30 are inactive;while 27,28 and 29 are not assigned. tt Districts 17(New Citywide Lighting and Landscape District)and 23(Tract 5130,SuncalNistas) were not completed. ttt Districts 26,31 and 32 are back-up maintenance districts. On October 10,2015 by Resolution No.2015-3443,Tract 5463 was annexed into District 15, designated as Zone B. On November 20,2013 by Resolution No.2013-3241,Tract 5425 was annexed into District 21. As part of the annual budget process, the City Council considers whether or not to continue 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 1, 2017, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2017-3575 directing the preparation of said Engineer's Report. At the May 3, 2017 meeting, City Council adopted Resolution No. 2017-3594, which approved the preliminary Engineer's Report and set the date of the public hearing on June 7, 2017. 2 Honorable City Council June 7, 2017 Page 3 DISCUSSION Engineer's Report The City Council is being asked to receive public testimony on the continuation of the assessment and to set the assessment levy amount. The Engineer's Report established the assessment levy amount for each zone/district, the formula used to spread the assessment and calculation of "special" benefit versus "general" benefit. The 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. Improvements to be Maintained The improvements and maintenance funded by the Assessment Districts is generally described as follows: a. Street Lighting: Street lighting energy and maintenance costs (Citywide assessment). b. Landscape Maintenance: The maintenance of certain designated parkways and medians (Citywide assessment). c. Zones/Districts: Zone/ District AD Name Location 1 Pecan A.enue Tract 2851 2 Steeple Hill Area Tract 2865 3 Butler Creek/Peppermill Tract 3032 4 Williams Ranch Road Tract 3274 5 Pheasant Run Area Tracts 3019& 3525 6 Inglewood Street Tract 3274 7 Moorpark Business Park LA AM,e& Gabbert 8 Home Acres Buffer Area 9 Moorpark Industrial Park Condor Dri.e 10 Mountain Meadows Planned Community 3 3 Honorable City Council June 7, 2017 Page 4 Zone / District AD Name Location 11 Alyssas Court Tract 4174 12 Carlsberg Specific Plan 14 Silver Oak Lane Tract 5201 15 Zone A Country Club Estates Tract 4928 15 Zone B The Masters Tract 5463 16 Mountain View Tract 5161 18 Moonsong Court Tract 5307 19 Campus Plaza Tract 5264 20 Meridian Hills Tract 5187 21 Canterbury Lane Tract 5133 21 Zone B Ivy Lane Tract 5425 • 22 Moorpark Highlands Tract 5045 24 875 Los Angeles Ave LA Ave& Goldman Ave 25 Patriot Commerce Center CPD 2004-01 26 14339-14.349 White Sage Road CPD 2004-03 - 31 Tuscany Square CPD 2005-02 32 145 Park Lane CPD 2005-03 Notes: Zone/District 2, 5, 10&16 include drainage maintenance. Zone/District 13&30 are inactive. Zone/District 27,28, &29 are unassigned. Zone/District 17 and 23 were not completed FY 2017/2018 Assessment Amounts and Adjustment The method used to establish the assessment amounts is based on a two-step process: 1) identifying the "special" benefits resulting from the improvements; and 2) allocating the assessments to the property based on the proportional "special" benefits derived from improvements over and above the "general" benefits. This method has been unchanged from prior years. AD 84-2, which includes Zones/Districts 1 to 11, was established prior to the passage of.Proposition 218. As such, the per lot (per acre) assessment amounts in these Zones/Districts are at the same level. 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 Zone/Districts 12 through 32, the annual maximum assessments for these Zone/Districts may be increased annually to cover cost-of-living (COLA) increases. The COLA increase in the Los Angeles Area Consumer Price Index (CPI) from December 2015 to December 2016 is 1.96 percent (1.96%). The maximum assessment amounts for FY 2017/2018 include the COLA adjustments which are also summarized as follows: 4 Honorable City Council June 7, 2017 Page 5 MAXIMUM ASSESSMENTS FOR ZONES 12- 33 FY 16/17 FY 17/18 Maximum COLA- Maximum Zone/District Assessment 1.96% Assessment 12 Carlsberg - Residential $566.27 $11.10 $577.37 12 Carlsberg- Commercial $204.94 $4.02 $208.95 12 Carlsberg- Institutional $1,845.93 $36.18 $1,882.11 14 Silver Oak Lane T5201 $166.75 $3.27 $170.01 15 County Club Estates T4928 Zone Al $1,765.92 $34.61 $1,800.53 15 Masters at Moorpark Country Club T5463 Zone B1 $16,846.12 $330.18 $17,176.30 16 Mountain View T5161 $485.94 $9.52 $495.46 18 Moonsong Court T5307 $1,023.01 $20.05 $1,043.06 19 Campus Plaza T52642 $9,274.44 $181.78 $9,456.21 20 Meridian Hills T5187 $2,575.43 _ $50.48 $2,625.90 21 Canterbury Lane T51333 $498.04 $9.76 $507.80 21 Ivy Lane T5425 Zone B3 $162.13 $3.18 $165.30 22 Moorpark Highlands T50453 $3,522.61 $69.04 $3,591.65 24 875 Los Angeles Ave2 $10,204.79 $200.01 $10,404.80 25 Patriot Commerce Center CPD 2004-012 $4,638.56 $90.92 $4,729.47 26 14339-14349 White Sage Road CPD 2004-032 $4,952.02 $97.06 $5,049.07 31 Tuscany Square CPD 2005-022 $6,059.32 $118.76 $6,178.09 32 145 Park Lane CPD 2005-032 $10,460.14 $205.02 $10,665.15 33 Vistas at Moorpark T51303 $13,924.18 $272.91 $14,197.09 Notes: ' Tract 5463 was annexed to District 15 on 10/17/2015 and was designated as Zone B. The maximum assessment for T4928(Zone A)is reduced by$246,the proportionate cost assigned to Zone B for trail and improvements. Includes additional per lot assessment for Property Owner maintained improvements as a backup district. Includes additional per lot assessment for HOA maintained improvements as a backup district. Districts 19, 24, 25, 26, 31 and 32 have been established as "back-up" Assessment Districts to manage certain landscape maintenance responsibilities assigned to the respective project owners. As long as the project owner is adequately maintaining the prescribed landscape improvements, the approved maximum assessment will not be levied. In the event the project owner fails to adequately maintain the landscape improvements, the City can take over the maintenance responsibility and levy the assessment. Capital Improvement Reserve Fund The Engineer's Report provides for a Capital Improvement Reserve Fund for each Assessment District. Consistent with past City Council's action on September 3, 2008, the Engineer's Report stipulates that Capital Improvement Reserve Fund for any Zone/District 5 Honorable City Council June 7, 2017 Page 6 not exceed an amount equal to one (1) year of estimated program costs for that Zone/District (prior to September 3, 2008, the Capital Improvement Reserve Fund was three times the annual program costs). Should the projected year-end fund balance for any Zone/District exceed one (1) year of estimated program costs, the amount of the annual maximum assessment shall be adjusted to reflect the CPI, but the amount of the assessment to be levied upon the affected properties shall be reduced to an amount which is estimated to not cause said Capital Improvement Reserve Fund year-end balance to exceed said limit. The amount levied shall not be less than 10% of the maximum authorized assessment. For FY 2017/2018, the following districts are recommended to be levied as follows: Fund Fund Balance, Balance, 06/30/18 Annual - Total Total Zone/ Estimate (Maximum Operating Maximum Levy District 7/1/17 Assessment) Budget Assessment Amount Remarks 12 $ 239,418 $ 335,041 $ 235,641 $ 331,264 $248,459 75%of maximum Assessment 15 Zones A&B $1,701,570 $ 2,215,151 $ 234,200 $ 747,781 $ 81,200 11%of maximum Assessment 16 $ 61,336 $ 78,386 $ 12,182 $ 29,232 $ 5,310 18%of maximum Assessment 18 $ 9,435 $ 20,209 $ 14,801 $ 25,575 $ 17,500 68%of maximum Assessment 20 $ 924,357 $ 1,234,497 $ 341,086 $ 651,226 $ 74,400 0%of maximum Assessment 21 Zones A&B $ 148,624 $ 180,995 $ 13,054 $ 45,425 $ 4,950 11%of maximum Assessment 22 $2,301,620 $ 3,542,722 $ 965,405 $ 2,206,507 $404,100 18%of maximum Assessment In the future, the City anticipates acceptance of Districts 20 (Meridian Hills T5187), 21- Zone A (Canterbury Lane T5133), and 21-Zone B (Ivy Lane T5425) and will assume responsibility for the maintenance of the slope; parkway and median landscape improvements; bio-swales; detention basis and storm drains. Staff is proposing to levy $300.00 for District 20 (Meridian Hills T5187) since the City is expecting to accept the district in FY 2017/18. For District 21 (Canterbury Lane T5133), staff is recommending to levy $10.00 less than FY2016/17 rates at $45.00 per unit. District 33 (Vistas at Moorpark T5130) has been formed but no improvements have yet been installed; no levy will be assessed for FY 2017/18. Lighting and Landscape Maintenance Budget This report was prepared in advance of the Council's discussions of the FY 2017/2018 budget. Therefore, the budget figures identified in the Report will not be identical to those in the draft budget. By adopting the Report, the Council is not approving any expenditures that will come with the adoption of the City budget. Adopting the Report simply establishes the assessment amount for the new fiscal year. The preliminary proposed budget for FY 2017/2018 is $3,157,545. This includes $213,060 for salaries and employee benefits; $2,939,485 for services and supplies; and $5,000 for debris 6 Honorable City Council June 7, 2017 Page 7 basin expenses. Services and supplies include $939,049 for landscaping and maintenance; $685,049 for water and electricity; $390,000 for street lighting; and $170,102 for phase II of the redwood removal and replanting along Tierra Rejada Road. The total proposed expenditures is lower than prior year by $113,796 and is primarily due the preliminary project cost relating to water conservation landscape renovation along Tierra Rejada Road. Beginning FY 2012/2013, the salaries and employee benefits for maintenance staff were distributed to various Zones/Districts based the Zone/District's size relative to the total acreage of 147.12. This is a more reasonable basis for cost sharing and it is expected to reduce the General Fund support to those Zones/Districts with deficit fund balances. Fund Deficits Since Zones/Districts 1 through 11 were established without a cost-of-living adjustment factor, the maximum assessment amount per unit cannot be increased. It is anticipated that the following Zones/Districts will have deficit fund balance at the end of FY 2016/2017 and FY 2017/2018: FY15/16 FY 16/17 FY 17/18 Increase/ Actual Estimate Estimate (Decrease) Fund No. -Zone/District Title 2300 Citywide - Lighting ($121,267) ($141,884) ($138,383) ($3,501) 2300 Citywide - Landscape ($38,242) ($102,933) ($157,159) $54,226 2301 District 1 - Pecan Avenue ($7,050) ($11,186) ($12,509) $1,323 2303 District 3 - Buttercreek/Peppermill $0 $0 $0 $0 2304 District 4 -Williams Ranch Rd $0 $0 ($1,051) $1,051 2305 District 5 - Pheasant Run Area ($44,816) ($57,510) ($85,377) $27,867 2306 District 6 - Inglewood St ($440) ($606) ($908) $302 2307 District 7 - Moorpark Business Park ($11,779) $0 $0 $0 2308 District 8 - Home Acres Buffer ($33,316) ($6,172) ($7,181) $1,009 2309 District 9 - Moopark Industrial Park ($3,206) ($6,034) ($8,131) $2,097 2310 District 10 - Mountain Meadows ($2,294) $0 ($79,727) $79,727 2311 District 11 -Alyssas Court $0 2314 District 14 -Wilshire Builders ($2,822) ($4,465) ($5,828) $1,363 TOTAL ($265,232) ($330,790) ($496,254) $165,464 Due to the fixed maximum assessment rates in the Citywide District and Zones/Districts 1 through 11 and increasing maintenance and operations costs, deficits in street lighting and landscaped areas will continue to grow. The FY 2016/2017 projected deficit of $330,790 is 1.25 times the subsidy for the FY 2015/2016 actual operating deficit of $265,232. The estimated deficit in FY 2017/2018 is expected to rise to $496,254 due to anticipated landscape rehabilitation along Tierra Rejada Road and utility costs increase. The General Fund reserve will pay for this rehabilitation work. This will reduce operation and maintenance costs in the future. 7 Honorable City Council June 7, 2017 Page 8 Moorpark Highlands (District 22) At the May 3, 2017 meeting of the City Council, homeowners in the Moorpark Highlands (District 22) expressed their desire that the levy amount be reduced: Staff has met with representatives on three occasions regarding this issue. Staff listened to their concerns and provided operational detail along with financial information regarding District 22. Additionally, staff reviewed the budget and reduced the operating costs by $111,000 in FY 2017/18. The Capital Improvement Reserve Fund should equal one year's annual program costs, which for FY 2017/18 is about $857,000. The Capital Improvement Reserve Fund was $1,991,271 on June 30, 2016. It is estimated to be $2,297,000 on June 30, 2017. Staff is recommending to the City Council a reduction in the levy amount from $1,325 to $600 for FY 2017/18 and held constant thereafter. This will reduce the Capital Improvement Reserve Fund by $1,356,000 to about $941,000 by June 30, 2021. As written earlier, Council policy states that the amount levied shall not be less than 10% of the maximum authorized assessment, which is $3,591.65 for District 22. Ten percent of this amount is $359.16. Council has the authority to set the levy at this 10% level, which is $359.16 for FY 2017/18. If the levy is set at $359.16, the Capital Improvement Reserve Fund is reduced to about $793,000 at June 30, 2020 (a reduction of $1,504,000 in three years). The City Council also has the option of changing the policy to state a different percentage (i.e.75%) of the annual program costs be maintained as the Capital Improvement Reserve Fund. Meridian Hills (District 20) Staff is recommending the Meridian Hills (District 20) be levied at $300 for FY 2017/18. The preliminary and final reports show a zero dollar amount levy since the City has not accepted this landscape district. However, staff expects to accept the district in FY 2017/18 and begin operations and maintenance. This $300 levy will pay for approximately three months of expenses. FISCAL IMPACT The City's practice is to budget current year deficit in the following fiscal year's budget. In the past, the citywide street lighting deficit was 100% funded by Gas Tax; while landscaping deficits were funded with a 50/50 split between Gas Tax and General Funds. The FY 2015/2016 deficit of $265,232 was subsidized by the General Fund and was budgeted in FY 2016/2017. The projected deficit of $330,790 for FY 2016/2017 will be included in the FY 2017/2018 budget. The projected deficit for FY 2017/2018 of$496,254 will be included in the FY 2018/2019 budget. As you are aware, recent State legislation enables the City to continue to spend Transportation Development Act (TDA) funds for street purposes. Staff analyzed the combined TDA and Gas Tax revenues for FY 2017/2018 and recommended to resume the traditional funding to eliminate the projected deficits. The proposed budget includes $94,453 from the General Fund (1000) and $236,337 from the Gas Tax Fund (2415). 8 Honorable City Council June 7, 2017 Page 9 As noted above, the requirements of Proposition 218 prohibit the City from increasing assessments without a vote. The City's options are to continue funding the growing deficits, as they have in the past, from City reserves or to consider initiating a mail ballot vote to increase assessment levels in the Citywide Street Light and Landscape Zone and Zones 1 - 11. STAFF RECOMMENDATION (Roll Call Vote) 1. Open the public hearing, accept public testimony, and close the public hearing. 2. Adopt Resolution No. 2017 - , with the addition of$300 levy for Meridian Hills, District 20 for FY 2017/18.

ENGINEER'S REPORT AND CONTINUATION OF ASSESSMENTS This Engineer's Report("Report") was prepared to establish the budgets for the continued capital improvement and services expenditures that would be funded by the proposed 2017-18 assessments, determine the benefits received from the lighting and landscaping maintenance and improvements by property within the Assessment Districts and the method of assessment apportionment to lots and parcels within the Assessment Districts. This Report and the proposed assessments have been made pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, Part 2 of Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code(the "Act")and Article XIIID of the California Constitution(the"Article"). In each subsequent year for which the assessments will be levied, the Council must direct the preparation of an Engineer's Report, budgets and proposed assessments for the upcoming fiscal year. After the Engineer's Report is completed, the Council may preliminarily approve the Engineer's Report and proposed assessments and establish the date for a public hearing on the continuation of the assessments. This Report was prepared pursuant to the direction of the Council adopted on February 1, 2017. If the Council approves this Engineer's Report and the continuation of the assessments by resolution, a notice of assessment levies must be published in a local paper at least 10 days prior to the date of the public hearing. The resolution preliminarily approving the Engineer's Report and establishing the date for a public hearing is used for this notice. Following the minimum 10-day time period after publishing the notice, a public hearing is held for the purpose of allowing public testimony about the proposed continuation of the assessments. This hearing is currently scheduled for June 7, 2017. At this hearing, the Council would consider approval of a resolution confirming the continuation of the assessments for fiscal year 2017-18. If so confirmed and approved, the assessments would be submitted to the County Auditor/Controller for inclusion on the property tax rolls for Fiscal Year 2017-18. LEGISLATIVE ANALYSIS PROPOSITION 218 AD84-2 assessments were formed prior to the passage of Proposition 218, The Right to Vote on Taxes Act, which was approved by the voters of California on November 6, 1996, and is now Article XIIIC and XIIID of the California Constitution. (Proposition 218 provides for benefit assessments to be levied to fund the cost of providing services, improvements, CITY OF MOORPARK LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING MAINTENANCE ASSESSMENT DISTRICTS S C I Co nsu Iti ng G rou p ENGINEER'S REPORT,FY 2017-18 2 4 PAGE 8 as well as maintenance and operation expenses to a public improvement which benefits the assessed property.) Although these assessments are consistent with Proposition 218, the California judiciary has generally referred to pre-Proposition 218 assessments as "grandfathered assessments" and held them to a lower standard than post Proposition 218 assessments. The other Assessments described in this Engineer's Report that were formed after the passage of Proposition 218 are consistent with Proposition 218 and the procedures and requirements established by Proposition'218 for new or increased assessments. SILICON VALLEY TAXPAYERS ASSOCIATION,INC.V SANTA CLARA COUNTY OPEN SPACE AUTHORITY In July of 2008, the California Supreme Court issued its ruling on the Silicon Valley Taxpayers Association, Inc. v. Santa Clara County Open Space Authority ("SVTA vs. SCCOSA"). This ruling is the most significant court case in further legally clarifying the substantive assessment requirements of Proposition 218. Several of the most important elements of the ruling included further emphasis that: ■ Benefit assessments are for special, not general, benefit • The services and/or improvements funded by assessments must be clearly defined • Special benefits are directly received by and provide a direct advantage to property in the assessment district This Engineer's Report is consistent with the SVTA vs. SCCOSA decision and with the requirements of Article 13C and 13D of the California Constitution based on the following factors: 1. The Assessment District(s)are divided into narrowly drawn and separate zones of benefit / Assessment Districts, and the assessment revenue derived from real property in each zone / Assessment District is extended only on specifically identified improvements and/or maintenance and servicing of those improvements in that zone / Assessment District and other improvements in the Assessment District(s) that confer special benefits to property in that zone / Assessment District. 1. The use of narrowly drawn zones of benefit and Assessment Districts ensures that the improvements constructed and maintained with assessment proceeds are located in close proximity to the real property subject to the assessment, and that such improvements provide a direct advantage to the property in the zone / Assessment District. 2. Due to their proximity to the assessed parcels, the improvements and maintenance thereof financed with assessment revenues in each zone benefit / Assessment District the properties in that zone I Assessment District in a manner different in kind from the benefit that other parcels of real property in the Assessment Districts derive from such improvements, and the benefits conferred on such property in each zone/Assessment District are more extensive and direct than a general increase in property values. CITY OF MOORPARK LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING MAINTENANCE ASSESSMENT DISTRICTS S C ConsultingGr p ENGINEER'S REPORT,FY 2017-18 2 5 PAGE 9 3. The assessments paid in each zone of benefit / Assessment District are proportional to the special benefit that each parcel within that zone I Assessment District receives from such improvements and the maintenance thereof because: a. The specific improvements and maintenance and utility costs thereof in each zone /Assessment District and the costs thereof are specified in this Engineer's Report; and b. Such improvement and maintenance costs in each zone / Assessment District are allocated among different types of property located within each zone of benefit 1 Assessment District, and equally among those properties which have similar characteristics and receive similar special benefits. DAHMS V.DOWNTOWN POMONA PROPERTY On June 8, 2009, the 4th Court of Appeal amended its original opinion upholding a benefit assessment for property in the downtown area of the City of Pomona. On July 22, 2009, the California Supreme Court denied review. On this date, Dahms became good law and binding precedent for assessments. In Dahms the Court upheld an assessment that was 100% special benefit (i.e. 0% general benefit) on the rationale that the services and improvements funded by the assessments were directly provided to property in the assessment district. The Court also upheld discounts and exemptions from the assessment for certain properties. BONANDER V.TOWN OF TIBURON On December 31, 2009, the 1st District Court of Appeal overturned a benefit assessment approved by property owners to pay for placing overhead utility lines underground in an area of the Town of Tiburon. The Court invalidated the assessments on the groundsthat the assessments had been apportioned to assessed property based on in part on relative costs within sub-areas of the assessment district instead of proportional special benefits. BEUTZ V.COUNTY OF RIVERSIDE On May 26, 2010 the 4th District Court of Appeals issued a decision on the Steven Beutz v. County of Riverside (°Beutz")appeal. This decision overturned an assessment for park maintenance in Wildomar, California, primarily because the general benefits associated with improvements and services was not explicitly calculated, quantified and separated from the special benefits. GOLDEN HILL NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION V.CITY OF SAN DIEGO On September 22, 2011, the San Diego Court of Appeal issued a decision on the Golden Hill Neighborhood Association v. City of San Diego appeal. This decision overturned an assessment for street and landscaping maintenance in the Greater Golden Hill neighborhood of San Diego, California. The court described two primary reasons for its decision. First, like in Beutz, the court found the general benefits associated with services were not explicitly calculated, quantified and separated from the special benefits. Second, the court found that the City of San Diego had failed to record the basis for the assessment on its own parcels. CITY OF MOORPARK LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING MAINTENANCE ASSESSMENT DISTRICTS SC O ConsultingGrou p ENGINEER'S REPORT,FY 2011-18 2 6 PAGE 10 COMPLIANCE WITH CURRENT LAW This Engineer's Report is consistent with the requirements of Article XIIIC and XIIID of the California Constitution and with the SVTA decision because the improvements to be funded are clearly defined; the improvements are directly available to and will directly benefit property in the Assessment Districts; and the improvements provide a direct advantage to property in the Assessment Districts that would not be received in absence of the Assessments. This Engineer's Report is consistent with Buetz, Dahms and Greater Golden Hill because, the improvements will directly benefit property in the Assessment Districts and the general benefits have been explicitly calculated and quantified and excluded from the Assessments. The Engineer's Report is consistent with Bonander because the Assessments have been apportioned based on the overall cost of the improvements and proportional special benefit to each property. CITY OF MOORPARK LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING MAINTENANCE ASSESSMENT DISTRICTS S C I Consu lti ng Group ENGINEER'S REPORT,FY 2017-18 2 7 PAGE 11 PLANS&SPECIFICATIONS The work and improvements (the "Improvements") are proposed to be undertaken by the City of Moorpark Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance Assessment Districts and the cost thereof paid from the levy of the annual assessment provide special benefit to Assessor Parcels within the Assessment Districts as defined in the Method of Assessment herein.

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 one(1)year 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 SCIConsultingGroup ENGINEER'S REPORT,FY 2017-18 - 33 • PAGE 17 METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT This section of the Engineer's Report explains the special and general 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. 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 and that the value of the special benefits must reasonably exceed the cost of the assessment: "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 summarized as follows: A. Proximity to Improved Landscaped Areas and Other Public Improvements within the Assessment Districts. B. Access to Improved landscaped areas and Other Public Improvements within the Assessment Districts. CITY OF MOORPARK LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING MAINTENANCE ASSESSMENT DISTRICTS SC Consulting Group ENGINEER'S REPORT,FY 2017-18 3 4 PAGE 18 C. Improved Views within the Assessment Districts. D. Extension of a property's outdoor areas and green spaces for properties within close proximity to the Improvements. E. Creation of individual lots for residential and commercial use that, in absence of the assessments,would not have been created. F. Drainage of water and runoff from property in the District G. Protection from flooding and standing water due to the improved drainage systems In this case, the recent the SVTA v. SCCOSA decision provides enhanced clarity to the definitions of special benefits to properties in three distinct areas: • Proximity • Expanded or improved access • Views • The SVTA v. SCCOSA decision also clarifies that a special benefit is a service or improvement that provides a direct advantage to a parcel and that indirect or derivative advantages resulting from the overall public benefits from a service or improvement are general benefits. The SVTA v. SCCOSA decision also provides specific guidance that park improvements are a direct advantage and special benefit to property that is proximate to a park that is improved by an assessment: The characterization of a benefit may depend on whether the parcel receives a direct advantage from the improvement (e.g. proximity to a park) or receives an indirect, derivative advantage resulting from the overall public benefits of the improvement(e.g. general enhancement of the district's property values). Proximity, improved access and views, in addition to the other special benefits listed above. further strengthen the basis of these assessments. GENERAL VERSUS SPECIAL BENEFIT The Assessments allow the City to provide permanent public Improvements within its boundaries at a much higher level than what otherwise would be provided in absence of the Assessments. Moreover, in absence of the Assessments, the Improvements would not be provided because the City does not have alternative available funds to provide the Improvements. All of the Assessment proceeds derived from the Assessment Districts will be utilized to fund the cost of providing a level of tangible "special benefits" in the form of landscaped parkways, landscaped medians, landscaped corridors, lights, signs, trail systems, drainage facilities, other Improvements and costs incidental to providing the Improvements and collecting the Assessments. The Assessments are also structured to provide specific Improvements within each Zone of Benefit and /or Assessment District, further ensuring CITY OF MOORPARK LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING MAINTENANCE ASSESSMENT DISTRICTS ScI Consulting G ro u p ENGINEER'S REPORT,P12017-18 3 5 PAGE 19 that the Improvements funded by the Assessments are of specific and special benefit to property within each Zone of Benefit and/or Assessment District. Although these Improvements may be available to the general public at large, the permanent public Improvements in the Assessment Districts were specifically designed, located and created to provide additional and improved public resources for the direct advantage of property inside the Assessment Districts, and not the public at large. Other properties that are either outside the Assessment Districts or within the Assessment Districts and not assessed, do not enjoy the unique proximity, access, views and other special benefit factors described previously. Moreover, many of the homes in the Assessment Districts would not have been built if the Assessments were not established because an assessment for the Improvements was a condition of development approval. In summary, real property located within the boundaries of the Assessment Districts distinctly and directly benefits from closer proximity, access and views of Improvements funded by the Assessments, the creation of developable parcels, the extension of usable land area provided by the Assessments and other special benefits. The Improvements are specifically designed to serve local properties in each Assessment.District, not other properties or the public at large. The Assessment Districts have been narrowly drawn to include those parcels that receive a direct advantage from the Improvements. The public at large and other properties outside the Assessment'Districts receive only limited benefits from the Improvements because they do not have proximity, good access or views of the Improvements. These are special benefits to property in the Assessment Districts in much the same way that sewer and water facilities, sidewalks and paved streets enhance the utility and desirability of property and make them more functional to use, safer and easier to access. Without the Assessments, the public improvements within the Assessment Districts would not be maintained and would turn into brown, unmaintained and unusable public improvements and public lands. If this happened, it would create a significant and material negative impact on the desirability, utility and value of property in the Assessment Districts. The Improvements are, therefore, clearly above what otherwise would be provided. In fact, it is reasonable to assume that if Assessments were not collected and the Improvements were not maintained as a result, properties in the Assessment Districts would decline in desirability, utility and value by significantly more than the amount of the Assessment. We therefore conclude that all the landscaping Improvements funded by the Assessment are of special benefit to the identified benefiting properties located within the Assessment Districts and that the value of the special benefits from such Improvements to property in the Assessment Districts reasonably exceeds the cost of the Assessments for every assessed parcel in the Assessment Districts. (In other words, as required by Proposition 218: the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on each parcel reasonably exceeds the cost of the assessments.) QUANTIFICATION OF GENERAL BENEFIT Although the analysis used to support these Assessments concludes that the benefits are solely special, as described above, consideration is made for the suggestion that a portion CITY OF MOORPARK LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING MAINTENANCE ASSESSMENT DISTRICTS Sc I Co nsu Itin g G rou p ENGINEER'S REPORT,FY 2017-18 36 PAGE 20 of the benefits are general. General benefits cannot be funded by these assessments-the funding must come from other sources. The maintenance and servicing of these Improvements is also partially funded,directly and indirectly from other sources including City of Moorpark, the County of Ventura and the State of California. This funding comes in the form of grants, development fees, special programs, and general funds, as well as direct maintenance and servicing of facilities (e.g. • curbs, gutters, streets, drainage systems, etc.) This funding from other sources more than compensates for general benefits, if any, received by the properties within the Assessments Districts. In the 2009 Dahms case, the court upheld an assessment that was 100% special benefit on the rationale that the services funded by the assessments were directly provided within the assessment district. It is also important to note that the improvements and services funded by the assessments in Pomona are similar to the improvements and services funded by the Assessments described in this Engineer's Report and the Court found these . improvements and services to be 100% special benefit. Also similar to the assessments in Pomona, the Assessments described in this Engineer's Report fund improvements and services directly provided within the Assessment Districts and every benefiting property in the Assessment Districts enjoys proximity and access to the Improvements. Therefore, Dahms establishes a basis for minimal or zero general benefits from the Assessments. The General Benefits from these Assessments may be quantified as illustrated in the following table. Relative Relative General Benefit General Benefit Factor Weight Contribution Benefit Creation of parcels 90 0% 0 Extension of recreation area 2 10% 0.2 Proximity to improved parks and recreational facilities 2 10% 0.2 Access to improved''parks,open space and recreational areas 2 10% 0.2 Improved views 2 10% 0.2 Improved nighttime visibility and safety from streetlights 2 20% 0.4 100 1.2 Total Calculated General Benefit= 1.2% As a result,the City will contribute at least 1.2%of the total budget from sources other than the Assessments. This contribution offsets any general benefits from the Improvements. This general benefit contribution is the sum of the following components: The City and / or Homeowners Association owns, maintains, rehabilitates and replaces curb and gutter along the border of the Assessment Districts Improvements. This curb and gutter serves to support, contain, retain, manage irrigation flow and growth, and provide a boundary for the improvements. The contribution from the City and / or Homeowners CITY OF MOORPARK LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING MAINTENANCE ASSESSMENT DISTRICTS SCI ConsultingGroup ENGINEER'S REPORT,FY 2017-18 37 PAGE 21 Association towards general benefit from the maintenance, rehabilitation and replacement of the curb and gutter is conservatively estimated to be 1%. The City and /or Homeowners Association owns and maintains local public streets along the border of the Assessment District Improvements. These public streets provide access to the Improvements for its enjoyment as well as efficient maintenance. The contribution from the City and / or Homeowners Association towards general benefit from the maintenance of local public streets is conservatively estimated to be 1%. The value of the construction of the Improvements can be quantified and monetized as an annuity. Since this construction was performed and paid for by non-assessment funds, this "annuity" can be used to offset general benefit costs, and is conservatively estimated to contribute 25%. Therefore the total General Benefit is conservatively quantified at 1.2%which is more than offset by the total non-assessment contribution towards general benefit of 27%. CITY OF MOORPARK LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING MAINTENANCE ASSESSMENT DISTRICTS SCIConsultingGroup ENGINEER'S REPORT,FY 2017-18 3 8 PAGE 22 METHOD OF ASSESSMENT The next 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 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. CITY OF MOORPARK LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING MAINTENANCE ASSESSMENT DISTRICTS SC ConsultingGroup ENGINEER'S REPORT,FY 2017-18 3 9 PAGE 23 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.
