Resolution
Assessment District 85 -1 was formed in 1985 pursuant to the
provisions of the "Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972." This
assessment district was established to allow for the funding of
parks maintenance expenses through the levying of assessments as
provided for in the act. As set forth in the Engineer's Report
(Exhibit "D "), costs are spread to all of the lots in the City by
means of a formula designed to spread said costs on the basis of
benefit. The formula uses land use as a measure of "people use" in
determining the relative amount of benefit received.
The City must annually act to levy the parks maintenance
assessments. Said assessments have been levied each year since the
formation of the district, except f(*)r" FY 1987/88 and FY 1988/89.

In accordance with the requirements of the above mentioned act, the
City Council has taken a number of actions in recent months in
preparation for considering the levy of assessments for Parks
Maintenance for FY 1995/96. Those actions are summarized as
follows:
1. On January 4, 1994, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 95-
1095 stating its intent to take the subject actions.
2. Also on that date, the City Council selected the firm of Dwight
French and Associates to prepare the Engineer's Reports for
AD85 -1.
3. On April 5, 1995, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 95-
1114 making certain findings and taking certain actions
including the following:
• approving, subject to change the Engineers' Report for
AD85 -1 for FY 1995/96;
• stating intent to make certain changes to AD85 -1:
• setting 7:00 p.m. on May 15, 1995, as the time and date of a
Public Meeting for the purpose of allowing the public an
opportunity to meet with Cit:'l staff to question and discuss
the proposed assessments;
• setting 7:00 p.m. on June 7, 1995, as the time and date of a
Public Hearing to consider the subject actions; and
• directing that Notice of said meetings be sent to the owners
of all affected properties, stating the amount of the
assessment levied for FY 1994/95, the amount of the proposed
increase in the assessment amount and the total amount of the
assessments proposed for FY .'995/96,
4. On April 4, 1995, the City Council also discussed a number of
possible revisions to the benefit spread formula for this
assessment district. Of the alternatives discussed, Alternate
#1 would leave the amount of the cost allocation to non-
residential properties at twenty -five percent (25 %) of the
total. Alternate #2 would change the percentage of this
allocation to 33 %. Staff was directed to make provisions in the
public hearing notice which would allow the City Council to
consider either option prior to levying the assessments.

3. Significant Budget Variances Between FY 1994/95 and FY
1995/96 -- The proposed FY 1995/96 Budget of $537,312 is
$36,705 more than the approved FY 1994/95 Budget. A
significant portion of this cost. increase is due to the
addition of the Poindexter Park to the areas maintained.
B. Fund Activity

C. Alternative Benefit Spread Formulas
The Assessment Engineer was asked to evaluate and present to the
City Council possible alternative Benefit Spread Formulas which
would reduce the amount of the assessments to residential
properties.
1. Alternative 11: The benefit spread formula used in past
years allocates and then spreads twenty -five percent (25 %) of
the total costs to non - residential properties. The remaining
seventy -five percent (75 %) of the total cost is spread to
residential properties. The figures presented in the
Engineer's Report (Exhibit 'D') are based on this formula.
A summary of the required assessments for FY 1995/96 using
this formula is attached as Exhibit A -1. Exhibit A -1.1 lists
typical assessment amounts using this formula, for a number
of residential and non - residential land uses.
2. Alternative 12:

A summary of the assessment amounts using
attached as F'xhi..bits A -2 and A -2.1.
3. Comparison: A summary comparison of these two alternative
formulas is as follows:
As the above chart shows, in that the number of non-
residential properties comprise less than four percent (4 %)
of the total lots in the City, any change to the percentage
of the total assessment allocated to non - residential
properties has a dramatic effect on the amount assessed to a
given non - residential lot.

D. Tentative Assessment Summary_
At the bottom of pages 1 (Alt #1) and 2 (Alt #2) of Exhibit 'A'
is a chart showing the amount of the Single- Family Residential
assessment required for FY 1995/96. Also shown on these charts
is a number of alternative assessment amounts based on varying
levels of funding from sources other than assessment revenues.
E. Engineer's Report
The above described expenditure information was provided to the
Assessment Engineer to be used as the basis for the preparation
of the attached Engineer's Report (Exhibit 'D'). As stated
above, the figures in said report are based on the benefit
spread formula described above as Alternate #1. Should the City
Council select the benefit spread formula described above as
Alternate #2, the final report be revised.
F. Public Hearing
1. The "Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972" (Streets and
Highways Code) requires a public hearing to be held prior to
the annual levy of assessments for the purpose of receiving
input and to hear any protests to the proposed assessments.
2. If the amount of the assessments are to remain the same, the
law does not require a Notice of the public hearing to be
mailed to each property being assessed. However, consistent
with past practice, a notice of the public hearing was mailed
to the owners of all of the affected properties.
3. Notwithstanding the above mentioned policy, State law
requires that prior to considering any new or increased
assessment, a public hearing notice must be mailed to the
owners of the properties to be assessed. Said notice shall
state the amount of the existing assessment, the amount of
the proposed assessment and the amount of the proposed
increase in the assessment. The approved amount of the
approved estimated assessments MAY NOT EXCEED the amounts
stated in the notice. Said notice must be mailed at least
forty -five (45) days prior to the date ofd the hearing. In
order to meet this deadline, said Notices were postmarked and
mailed prior to April. 21, 19
ad85_96.apr
Assessment District 85 -1
June 7, 1995

4. State law also requires that prior to considering any new or
increased assessment a PUBLIC MEETING shall be convened to
allow the public an opportunity to discuss the proposed
increased assessment. Such a meeting was convened on Monday,
May 15, 1995, at 7:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers. This
informal meeting was conducted by staff for the purpose of
providing answers to questions regarding projected program
costs and the methods used to spread those costs to the
properties assessed. Only a few people were in attendance.
Staff responded to the questions asked.
5. Attached as Exhibit 'E' is a copy of the Public Hearing
Notice mailed for AD85 -1. Also attached to the hearing
notice is a chart showing the amount of the assessment
required by both of the benefit formula alternatives, as well
as the amount indicated on the hearing notice.
G. Deferred Action
The attached resolution (Exhibit. "F ") making certain changes to
Assessment District AD85 -1 and confirming the assessments for
Fiscal Year 1995/96 must be adopted no later than June 30, 1995,
in order for the assessments to be levied. In prior years the
City Council has adopted such resolutions concurrently with the
adoption of the budget.
Staff recommends that the City Council open the public hearing,
receive testimony and continue these matters to the date of the
Budget Workshops.
Subsequent to the budget workshop meetings, but no later than June
30, 1995, staff recommends that the City Council take the following
actions:
a) select the benefit spread formula to be used (either Alternate
#1 or Alternate #2); and,
b) adopt the attached Resolution No. 95- _ (Exhibit "F ") making
certain changes to AD85 -1 and confirming the assessments for
Fiscal Year 1995/96.

SECTION 5 METHOD OF ASSESSMENT
The Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, in Section 22573, states
that "The net amount to be assessed upon the lands within an
assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method
which fairly distributes the new 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."
The method and formula of benefir, spread recognizes that every
property within the City of Moorpar,� benefits from public parks and
recreation facilities.
The method of spreading maintenance costs is based upon the "people
use" attributed to each land use within the City. This method was
chosen because the benefit received by having park facilities 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 -han 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 remaini -icir 25% of the maintenance costs.
The benefits to residential land uses are clear. The residents of
the City utilize the parks during their leisure hours. Benefits to
non - residential property include s�sch items as offering employees
the opportunity to utilize the parks during lunch time and after
hours, as well as providing an aesthetic environment which attracts
potential employees into the area
The "people use" factors utilized ..r; the assessment district spread
formula are shown in Appendix ,A"
The City,Council approved a rebate procedure for disadvantaged
citizens on November 1989. The procedure shall be followed as
described in Appendix "F."
In conclusion, it is our opinion that the assessments within Parks
Maintenance Assessment District No. AD -85 -1 are apportioned by a
formula that fairly distributes the net cost to each lot or parcel
in accordance with the benefits that are received.
