Gilbert, Director of Public Works x,`, DATE: December 15, 1994 (CC Meeting 1 -4 -95) SUBJECT: Consider 1) Adoption of Resolutions Authorizing the Preparation of Engineer's Reports for AD 84 -2 and AD 85 -1 for FY 95/96; and 2) Approval of Consulting Services Required for the Preparation of Said Engineer's Reports and Other Related Services W A- Zj This report requests consideration of the following matters: 1. Adoption of Resolutions initiating the proceedings required to consider the levy of assessments for Assessment District 84 -2 (street lighting and parkway /median landscaping) and Assessment District 85 -1 (parks landscape maintenance) for Fiscal Year 1995/96. 2. Selection of the consultant to provide certain required Assessment Engineering services for the extension of said assessment district. Said work is to include certain additional Assessment Engineering services which are required in order to consider the establishment of one or more new Zones of Benefit encompassing the properties within the Mountain Meadow Panned 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. 00258 Initiate Proceedings for Annual Assessments January 1995 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]). 00259 Initiate Proceedings for Annual Assessments January 1995 Page 3 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. 00262 Initiate Proceedings for Annual. Assessments January 1995 Page 6 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). 00264 Initiate Proceedings for Annual Assessments January 1995 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. adl-95 00 26; Initiate Proceedings for Annual Assessments January 1995 Page 11 3. Approve the selection of Dwight French and Associates to prepare FY 95/96 Engineer's Reports for AD 84 -2 and AD 85 -1 for a fee not to exceed $11,500 ($8,490 for the reports plus a Not to Exceed Amount of $3,010 in reimbursable expenses). Note: City Council approval shall be required for expenditures in excess of $11,500. 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 adl -95 OO268 ;FP 19 Y E)F MOORPARK September 15, 1994 Mr. Ken Gilbert Director of Public Works City of Moorpark 799 Moorpark Avenue Moorpark, CA 93021 Subject: Assessment Districts 84 -2 and 85 -1 Fiscal Year 1995/96 Dear Mr. Gilbert: Based on our work over the years, Dwight Drench & Associates, Inc.
