Thompson, Public Works Director ATTACHMENTS: RECOMMENDATION: 1) 2) 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) ResOlution Confu-ming Report, Ordering Annexation, and Levying Assessment for Street Lighting Maintenance Assessment District 99-1 (DUblin Ranch) Engineer's Report Open public hearing ReceiVe Stafffpresentation and public comment Question Staff and the public Close public hearing and deliberate Adopt resolution FINANCIAL STATEMENT: The proposed assessment for Fiscal Year 2000-2001 is $11,525.76 or $13.34 per single family lot. This proposed assessment includes the use of existing reserves to offset a part of the estimated 2000-2001 maintenance cost and is therefore less than the 1999-2000 assessment. The proposed annexation area, Tract 7067, is inclUded in the above figure and at the same rate as the lots in the existing District. Based on the projected total number of lights in Dublin Ranch Phase I plus Tract 7067, the proposed assessment for the ultimate improvement is $29,566, or $34.22 per single family lot (subject to inflationary and utility rate increases). DESCRIPTION: This i~ the second of two public hearings regarding armexation of Tract 7067 and the levy of assessments for Fiscal Year 2000-2001. Background: This is the second year of assessments for Street Lighting Maintenance Assessment District 99-1 (Dublin Ranch Phase I). At the May 16th meeting, the City Council received a petition t~om Taylor-WoOdrow Homes, the developer of Tract 7067, Clifden Parc, requesting annexation to this assessment district. Tract 7067 was originally' proposed to be annexed as Zone II, with funds and assessments calculated independently of Zone I; however, after reviewing the budget figures and the effect of the addition of only 13 lights and I7 lots on both the total and per-lot assessments, Staff is recommending that TraCt 7067 simply be annexed into the District, and the creation of the separate zone is not necessary. Under Proposition 218, the ~ : Lassessdist\99-1\2 000a ~stanne x& levy COPIES TO: ITEM NO. ~ annexation of an additional area requires a 45-day hearing notice and holding a public meeting and a public hearing prior to the levy of assessments. As indicated in the description below, as well as in the Engineer's Report itself, the assessment for the existing District is not proposed to increase beyond the limits set up in the original Engineer's Report. Annexation to Assessment District: As with formation ora new assessment district, annexation to an existing District requires the following actions: 1) 2) 3) 4) Adoption of a resolution initiating proceedings: The City Council adopted a resolution initiating proceedings at the May ] 6, 2000, meeting. Approval of Preliminary Engineer's Report. The City Council adopted Resolution No. 84-00 at the dune.6, 2000, City Council meeting. AdoptiOn of a Resolution of Intention The .City Council adopted Resolution No. 85-00 at the dune 6, 2000, City Council meeting. Adoption ora Resolution Ordering the Improvements and Formation of the District, Approving the Final Engineer's Report, and Confirming the Assessment and Diagram. The draft resolution is Attachment t~ of this agenda statement. This resolution can be adopted following a public meeting (held on duly 18, 2000) andpublic hearing (tonight's agenda). Engineer's Report and Calculation of Proposed Assessment: As noted in the Financial Statement above, Staff has calculated the proposed assessment based on the preliminary budget for Fiscal Year 2000-2001. This budget assumes the acceptance of a total of 288 lights among the several Dublin Ranch subdivisions, plus Tract 7067. The addition of the 13 lights and 17 lots in Tract 7067 does not have an appreciable effect on the per-lot assessment. Given that recordkeeping for a separate zone would add to the Staff cost, it is now recommended that Tract 7067 be annexed into the existing District without creating the separate zone. At the time the budgeting was done for this District for Fiscal Year 1999-2000, it was assumed that several of the Dublin Ranch subdivisions would be accepted and maintained during the course of Fiscal Year 1999-2000. This did not occur, and a negligible amount of the funds collected in 1999-2000 were actually spent. It is therefore recommended that $12,187 of the existing reserve be used to offset a part of the estimated cost for Fiscal Year 2000-2001. As noted in the Engineer's Report, funds are being set - aside for future pole painting expenses. The reserve that is anticipated to remain in this District at the end of Fiscal Year 2000-2001 is allowable under Proposition 218. It is expected that the remainder of the Dublin Ranch Development (the Lin property) will be annexed to this District, possibly prior to establishing the 2001-2002 assessment. At that time, the method of spread to be applied to commercial and multiple residential properties will be determined. It should be noted that the requirement for the 45-day notice and two public hearings is technically related to the question of annexation of Tract 7067; the assessment amount itself is not being increased and would therefore require only one hearing. Staff recommends that the City Council conduct a public hearing, deliberate, and adopt the resolution.

Page 6 PART D METHOD OF SPREAD OF ASSESSMENTS STREET LIGHTING MAINTENANCE ASSESSMENT DISTRICT NO. 99-1 DUBLIN RANCH AREA AND TRACT 7067 The maintenance of the street lighting within the boundaries of the Assessment District benefits each residential lot in the District in the same manner and to the same extent. Therefore, the Assessment has been equally apportioned over.the proposed 864 planned single-family residential lots contained within the District. The per lot assessment will be $13.34 per lot for Fiscal Year 2000-2001, increasing to $34.22 (subject to inflation and utility rate increases) at buildout for all residential lots within the boundaries of the District on a per lot basis. Al non-residential lots within the District have been excepted and will have a zero assessment since they receive no special benefit with regard to the special light fixture proposed. The following Lots 114, 115, and 116 of Tract 6960 will be subdivided at a later date. The projected lot counts are: Tract 6960 Lot 114 - Lot 115 - Lot 116 ~ 92 lots (futur~ Tract 6956) 91 lots (future Tract 6959) 117 ots (future Tract 6961) Until they are subdivided, the assessment for these lots shall be equal to the per-lot assessment each year times the number of proposed lots within each Tract listed above. With the recording of the future Tract maps, the new assessments will be reapportioned to each of the individual residentia lots. As more street lights are installed each year, until all 349 are installed, the assessment each year will be based on the estimated cost of maintenance (using the numbers in Part B, adjusted for inflation as noted in Part B), divided by the number of lights to be installed that year, provided in no event will the per lot assessment be more than $34.22 (as adjusted for inflation). It should be noted that future annexations to this District may affect the spread of assessments. It should be noted that future annexations to this Zone may affect the spread of assessments.
