DESCRIPTION:
The procedure for establishing annual maintenance assessments requires that the City Council
first authorize preparation of the Engineer's Reports. The preliminary reports are then brought
back to the City Council for approval later in the year, once the District budgets have been
formulated. Following the City Council's approval of the preliminary reports, public hearings will
be scheduled as required.
The proposed resolutions (Attachments 1-5) authorize the Public Works Director/Assistant City
Engineer to begin preparation of the required Engineer's Reports for the two street lighting
maintenance assessment districts and the three landscaping and lighting maintenance
assessment districts described below for Fiscal Year 2010-2011.
Citywide Street Lightinq Maintenance Assessment District 83-1
This assessment district was established in 1983 to replace the County Service Area, which had
paid maintenance and energy costs for public street lights within the City of Dublin. The
boundary of this assessment district encompasses the entire City, with the exception of Dublin
Ranch and Tract 7067, the Clifden Parc development in the western hills.
Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance Assessment District 83-2 (Stagecoach Road)
As part of the review and approval of the 150-unit single-family Dublin Hills Estates
development and the Amador Lakes development, certain landscaping maintenance was made
a condition of approval. This maintenance assessment district provides the funds for.this work.
The District's boundaries include all of Tract 4719. The District maintains all of the Stagecoach
Road landscaping and the-"interior slope" landscaping within Tract 4719 (see Attachment 2). In
1989, the "City Council deleted Stagecoach Park from the assessment district; the City .now
bears the cost of maintaining this small park.
Landscaping and' Lighting Maintenance Assessment District No. 86-1 (Villages at Willow Creek)
This assessment district maintains roadside and median landscaping associated .with the
Villages at Willow Creek development off Dougherty Road. As part of the review and approval
of the 145-unit single family development (Ridgecreek) and the other multifamily Villages,
certain landscaping maintenance was made a condition of approval. In lieu of forming a
homeowners' association to perform landscape maintenance, the developer requested
formation of this assessment district. Activities include litter pickup, maintenance of soundwalls,
and landscaping along Dougherty Road between Amador Valley Boulevard and Fall Creek
Road; along Amador Valley Boulevard between Dougherty Road and Wildwood Road; and
along Wildwood Road, Fall Creek Road, Shady Creek Drive and Willow Creek Drive. The City
Council approved formation of this District on November 10, 1986, with the initial assessment in
the 1987-1988 tax year.
Landscaping and Lightinq Maintenance Assessment District 97-1 (Santa Rita Area)
This assessment district funds street landscape maintenance and utility costs for the Santa Rita
development area. The area is bounded by Arnold Road on the west, Gleason Drive on the
north, Tassajara Road on the east, and Interstate 580 on the south. The scope of work
includes maintenance of roadside landscaping for Dublin Boulevard, Hacienda Drive, Central
Parkway, a portion of Arnold Road, Tassajara Road (westerly portion), and a portion of Gleason
Drive, plus the maintenance of the trail and landscaping along the Tassajara Creek channel.
The median landscape maintenance is not included in this District. This assessment district
was formed in 1996 at the request of the Alameda County Surplus Property Authority, which
was the only property owner in the District at that time. The initial assessment was levied in
Fiscal Year 1997-1998.

with the decorative street lighting that has been installed in the Dublin Ranch development and
also in Tract 7067 (Clifden Parc) off Mountain Rise Place. This assessment district was formed
in 1999 at the request of the developers in Dublin Ranch, which were the only property owners
in the District at that time. The initial assessment was levied in Fiscal Year 1999-2000. Dublin
Ranch Areas A and G were annexed into the District during Fiscal Year 2001-2002.
