Community (PC -3).
3. A discussion of proposed changes to the methods used in the past
to spread landscape maintenance costs to the affected
properties.
DISCUSSION
A. Background
adl -95
In 1984, a Landscaping & Lighting Maintenance Assessment
District (AD 84 -2) was created to recover 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 incorporation. In 1985, a Parks
Maintenance Assessment District (AD 85 -1) was created to recover
costs associated with parks maintenance in the City.

Page 2
As part of the annual budget process, the City Council considers
whether to renew the subject Assessment Districts and levy
assessments for street lighting, landscaping maintenance, and
park maintenance for the upcoming fiscal year. According to
state law, before assessments may be levied, an Engineer's
Report must be prepared for each assessment district. The
preparation of a report does not require the City to approve the
report and levy assessments. The purpose of the report is to
develop the information necessary to make that decision. The
report sets forth the items proposed to be funded by the
district and the method to be used to distribute the cost for
those items to all of the properties in the City.
B. Assessment Engineering
adl -95
Dwight French and Associates has prepared the Engineer's Reports
for these Assessment Districts for the past several years. This
firm has submitted a Proposal (Exhibit 1) for the Assessment
Engineering services required for the preparation of Engineer's
Reports and related efforts for the continuation of these
Assessment Districts through the end of FY 95/96.
Attached as Exhibit 2 is a chart showing a comparison of the
proposed Assessment Engineering costs for FY 1995/96, to like
costs for prior years. The fee for Assessment Engineering
covers the engineer's time for gathering and analyzing the data
required to develop the final report, the preparation of the
report, telephone expenses, travel expenses and meeting
attendance. Authorized reimbursable expenses include the
following: copies of County tapes and /or Assessor's maps, on-
line computer services, messenger /express mail, photocopying and
public hearing notice sorting and envelope stuffing. [The
notices are mailed here in Moorpark, with the City paying for
the bulk mailing.] Staff monitors reimbursement expenses to
ensure their reasonableness.
At the City's request, the Assessment Engineer has also included
costs for the following supplemental services:
• revision of the benefit spread formula for AD84 -2 to revise
the method used to distribute Citywide landscape maintenance
costs from a "flat rate" assessment to an assessment based on
land use categories ($380); and,
• the tasks necessary to establish a new zone of benefit,
consisting of all of the properties in PC -3, to fund the
maintenance costs for the parkways on Tierra Rejada Road
within PC -3 ($510 [to be funded by +GCB]).

C. Continuation of Assessment Districts
In accordance with the requirements of applicable sections of
the Streets and Highways Code of the State of California, the
attached resolutions initiate the process required for the City
Council to consider continuation of the subject two Assessment
Districts. Upon adoption of these resolutions, the Assessment
Engineer will prepare an Engineer's Report for each District.
Those draft reports will be considered by the City Council for
approval in April. If approved, a public hearing will be
scheduled for the first meeting in June to consider the levy of
the assessments.
D. Public Hearing
Even though the laws governing the administration of Landscaping
and Lighting Districts did not require it, for a number of years
it has been the policy of the City Council to mail notices to
each property being assessed, advising them of the date and time
of the public hearing at which the annual assessments are to be
considered. Recent State legislation now requires that,
whenever a new assessment is to be levied or when an existing
assessment is to be increased, public hearing notices shall be
mailed to all affected property owners at least forty -five (45)
days prior to the date of the hearing, stating the estimated
amount of the proposed assessment. In that it is not known if
the assessments for AD 84 -2 or, AD 85 -1 will be increased, it is
the intent of staff to comply with these new requirements in
preparing and mailing the public hearing notices for these
assessments.

F. New Zone of Benefit
adl -95
In a separate report to the City Council pertaining to the
City's acceptance of the landscape maintenance responsibilities
for the parkways and medians on Tierra Rejada Road in PC -3, it
is recommended that the City Council authorize the establishment
of a new Zone of Benefit to fund parkway maintenance costs in
this area. The attached resolution initiating proceedings for
AD84 -2, directs that the Engineer's Report for said assessment
district provide for City Council consideration of the
establishment of one or more additional Zones of Benefit for
this purpose.

G. Revisions to Benefit Spread Formula: Background
adl -95
In July of 1994 the City received a letter from a Mr. Frangos
requesting that all assessments levied against specific Zones of
Benefit within AD84 -2 be eliminated and that the costs
previously assumed by said Zones of Benefit be spread Citywide.
In addition, the City has recently received a request from AFCO
PACIFIC, on behalf of the Buttercreek Estates II Homeowners
Association, requesting that the City consider assuming the
maintenance of certain landscape improvements which are now the
responsibility of Homeowners' Associations. In order to
adequately respond to these questions it is first important to
understand the nature and purpose of AD84 -2. And in order to
fully understand AD84 -2, it is necessary to first be aware of
the process by which this assessment district evolved into its
present state. The following is brief summary of that process.
1. Prior to the incorporation of the City of Moorpark, the
County of Ventura had created three (3) separate landscape
maintenance assessment districts. These assessment districts
were formed in order to comply with certain Conditions of
Approval for three (3) residential subdivisions:
• AD83 -1: Tract 3841 (Heatherglen -- Griffin);
• AD84 -1: Tract 2851 (Park Glen -- Griffin; and,
• Tract 2865 (Pacifica;.
2. In June 1985 the City Council approved Resolution No. 85 -207
merging these three assessment districts into two new
assessment Districts: AD85 -1 (parks maintenance) and AD 84 -2
(street lighting and landscaping).
3. AD83 -1: The maintenance of Glenwood Park was removed from
the 191 unit Tract 3941 (Heatherglen) and added to the
Citywide parks maintenance assessment for all City parks
which was to be levied by the newly created AD85 -1. The
maintenance of the Tierra Rejada Road median and the parkway
on the east side of Tierra Rejada Road along the frontage of
Tract 3841, was added to the Citywide street landscaping
assessment to be levied by the newly created AD84 -2.
4. AD84 -1: The City Council also approved the consolidation of
AD84 -1 (Tract 2851: N/W Corner of Collins Drive & Campus Park
Drive) with the new AD84 -2. The maintenance of the
landscaping in the Campus Park Drive median in the vicinity
of this Tract, as well as in the parkways on Collins Drive
00263
Initiate Proceedings for Annual Assessments
January 1995
Page 7
adl -95
and Campus Park Drive along the perimeter of this tract, were
added to the Citywide street landscaping assessment. The
maintenance of the parkway landscaping on Pecan Avenue,
Benwood Drive and Bambi Court in the interior of this Tract,
was assumed by a new "Zone of Benefit (Zone #1).
5. Tract 2865: The third assessment district was an unnumbered
assessment district named the Tierra Rejada Road Landscape
Maintenance District. Again, this assessment district was
formed in response to conditions of approval for the Pacifica
portion of Tract 2865. Although this assessment district was
established by the County in 1979, it was not activated until
1984 when a specified number of dwelling unit occupancies had
been granted. Activation of this Assessment District was
accomplished through the establishment of a second Zone of
Benefit (Zone 2) within AD84- -2, encompassing all of the lots
within Tract 2865.
a. The area initially included within Zone 2 consisted of
only the easterly portion of Tract 2865 (Pacifica). Later
the City Council added the westerly portion of Tract 2865
(Pardee) to this Zone of Benefit.
b. When AD84 -2 was formed and Zone 2 was established in 1984,
the Tierra Rejada Road median landscaping within Tract
2865 had not yet been constructed. Later, when these
improvements were constructed with funds derived from an
improvement assessment levied upon all of the lots within
Tract 2865, the cost for the maintenance of those median
improvements was added to the Citywide landscaping
assessment for AD84 -2 and not to the Zone 2 assessment.
c. The landscaping to be maintained by the Zone 2 assessment
initially only included the parkway slopes on the south
side of Tierra Rejada Road along the frontage of Tract
2865. Later other parkway landscaping was added to the
Zone 2 assessment, including the following:
• the entry statement at the intersection of Christian
Barrett Drive and Spring Road;
• the south side of Christian Barrett Drive just west of
Spring Road;
• the west side of Spring Road north and south of
Christian Barrett Drive;
• the east side of Peach Hill Road between Tierra Rejada
Road and Christian Barrett. Drive; and,
• the north side of Tierra Rejada Road east of Peach Hill
Road (Pardee).

Page 8
d. The Pardee portion of Tract 2865 was added to Zone 2 of
AD84 -2 in order to comply with a Condition of Approval
which the City Council added to later phases of Tract
2865. This Condition of Approval required the properties
within the affected Tracts to be included within an
Assessment District Zone of Benefit and to receive an
additional assessment to fund the maintenance of certain
landscaping improvements deemed to be of benefit to said
properties. The rationale behind this decision was that
the specified landscaping improvements were both an
amenity to the development and a required mitigation
measure of that development. As such the cost for
maintaining these improvements was to be paid by the
future residents of that. Tract.
6. A similar Condition of Approval was included in the approval
of Tracts 3019 & 3525 (Warmington) located immediately west
of Tract 2865. These tracts were eventually added to AD84 -2
as Zone 5.
7. In 1986 Tract 3963 (Campus Hills / Griffin) and Tract 4037
(Design Editions / CalProp) were approved without the need
for the creation of any new Zones of Benefit. The then City
Council determined that the parkway landscaping along major
arterial streets would be the responsibility of the Home
Owners' Associations (HOA) for the properties within the
adjacent Tracts. In essence, this approach achieves the same
end as the establishment of a new Zone of Benefit, with the
exception that the City does not have direct control over the
level or quality of landscape maintenance provided.
H. Revisions to Benefit Spread Formula: Proposed Response
edl -95
1. Frangos Request: As mentioned above, Mr. Frangos has
requested ( see Exhibit 3 ) that all of the Zones of Benefit be
dissolved, that all of the assessments levied against
specific Zones of Benefit within AD84 -2 be eliminated and
that the costs previously assumed by said Zones of Benefit be
spread Citywide. Of particular interest to Mr. Fangos is the
Zone 5 assessment for the Warmington Tract in which he
resides. If the City Council were to take such action, it
would be in direct opposition to the rationale used in
approving the developments which were required to participate
in Assessment District Zones of Benefit. Instead of viewing
specified landscaping improvements as an amenity to the
00265
Initiate Proceedings for Annual Assessments
January 1995
Page 9
adl -95
development and a required mitigation measure of that
development to be maintained by the residents of same, Mr.
Frangos' proposal would place the burden for the cost of
maintenance these amenities on all of the resident of the
City. Since the maintenance of other landscaping amenities
would remain the responsibility of certain HOAs, this action
would create an inequity.
Prior to the City Council taking any action to revise the
method of spreading the cost for the maintaining landscaping
which is now funded by a Zone assessment, it is the view of
staff that the impact of such an action first be reviewed and
evaluated. This could be accomplished through the
preparation of a report by staff (possibly with the
assistance of the Assessment Engineer) describing a number of
alternative spread formulas. The goal of the report would be
to show the cost impact of allocating alternative proportions
of such costs to the Citywide landscape assessment.
2. Buttercreek Estates II: Also mentioned above is a request
(see Exhibit 4) from the Buttercreek Estates II Homeowners
Association for the City to assume (presumably through the
establishment of a new Zone of Benefit within AD84 -2) the
maintenance of landscaping improvements which are now the
responsibility of the Homeowners' Association. The following
points are offered in response to this request:
a. In the view of staff, such a course of action would be a
technical and administrative burden to the City which in
turn would have the affect of increasing costs to the
properties affected.
b. Said action is anticipated to increase the net cost to the
homeowners in the other nearby tracts in the South Village
portion of PC -3, who already pay an HOA fee which in part
funds the maintenance of other landscaped areas.
c. The costs which would be assumed by this new Zone of
Benefit would only consist of a portion of the present
maintenance responsibilities of the Buttercreek Estates II
HOA.
d. There is no guarantee that the matter of the equitable
distribution of costs (which is the primary concern
expressed in this request) would be improved or further
eroded.
00266
Initiate Proceedings for Annual Assessments
January 1995
Page 10
e. The City has only established Zones of Benefit to fund the
maintenance of landscaping not located on an arterial
street in a limited number of cases for very specific
reasons. These actions were taken in only three instances
which are defined and described as follows:
• Zone 3 ( Peppermi 11) : No HOA establ ished f or Tract 3 0 3 2;
• Zone 4 (Williams Ranch Road): Due to an oversight by
UWC, the landscaping along the Peach Hill Wash box
culvert adjacent to Williams Ranch Road was not
conveyed to the HOA for Tracts 3274 -1 & 3274 -4; and,
• Zone 6 (Inglewood): No HOA was established for Tract
3306.
Staff recommends, therefore, that the City not intervene in
this matter and suggests that the various HOAs work amongst
themselves to make any desired adjustments to the scope of
the amenities maintained by each HOA.
I. Revisions to Zone 1
In order to better approach an equitable distribution of costs,
it is recommended that the boundaries for Zone 1 (Tract 2851) be
revised to include Lots 74, 75 and 76 consisting of the LDS
church and adjacent vacant properties.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends that the City Council take the following actions:
1. Adopt Resolution Nos. 95 -__ authorizing preparation of an
Engineer's Report for the Moorpark Lighting and Landscaping
Maintenance Assessment District (AD 84 -2) for FY 1995/96,
said report to include provisions allowing for the
establishment of one or more new Zones of Benefit for the
maintenance of certain landscaping within the Mountain
Meadows Planned Community rPC-3).
2. Adopt Resolution Nos. 95 authorizing preparation of an
Engineer's Report for the Moorpark Parks Maintenance
Assessment District (AD 85 -1' for FY 1995/96.

4. Authorize the City Manager to sign a letter of agreement with
Dwight French and Associates for said services.
5. Direct staff to prepare a report, for presentation to the
City Council in March of 1995, analyzing and evaluating a
number of alternative methods to spread landscape maintenance
costs to affected properties, as generally described in
Section G of this report.
6. Concur with staff recommendations to not intervene and
attempt to address the concerns raised by the Buttercreek
Estates II HOA, and direct staff to prepare a letter, for the
Mayor's signature, to said HOA suggesting that they consider
working with the adjacent HOAs to find a satisfactory
resolution to their mutual concerns.
7. Direct staff to include in the Engineer's Report provisions
for the modification of the boundary for Zone 1 as described
in Section I of this report

29 July 94
Per our conversation on 21 July 94, I am requesting that the city council add the following item for
discussion on the 23 August 94 council session agenda:
"proposal to eliminate special assessments created by the `zones of benefit' and distribute their
associated maintenance costs city wide"
Early introduction of this issue in the' 94 -'95 fiscal year will allow council and staff time to discuss and
analyze all aspects of this proposal and may insure a council vote/decision on this issue prior to finalizing
the `95296 fiscal budget.
I have attached copies of a previously circulated petition for your record 4( qil
