COPIES TO: ITEMNO. ~'~.~ g:\assessdist\99-1\staff rpt intent DESCRIPTION: This assessment district funds the electric energy, maintenance, and repair costs associated with the decorative street lighting within the Dublin Ranch development (Phase I and Areas G and A, excepting the golf course) and also in Tract 7067, which is the Clifden Parc development off Mountain Rise Place in the western hills. This assessment district was formed in 1999 at the request of the developers in Dublin Ranch. The Clifden Parc development was annexed in 2000, and Dublin Ranch Areas A and G were annexed in 2001. The City began maintaining some of the lights in Dublin Ranch Phase I, and also in Clifden Parc, during the 2001-2002 Fiscal Year. It is expected that the City will be maintaining up to 815 lights by the end of Fiscal Year 2003-2004. For Fiscal Year 2003-2004, no change is recommended with respect to the method of determining the assessments. The assessment for a single-family house is estimated to be $15.10, which is the same as the 2002-2003 assessment. A portion of the reserve in this assessment district will be used to offset the budgeted increase in the cost of maintenance. As noted in the Preliminary Engineer's Report, a portion of the reserve is being set aside each year for future pole painting costs. The poles are expected to need repainting on a ten-year cycle. Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the resolutions approving the preliminary Engineer's Report and setting a public hearing date of July 15, 2003, for the 2003-2004 assessment.

I do hereby assess the net amount to be assessed upon all assessable lots or parcels of land within said street lighting maintenance assessment district by apportioning that amount among the several lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each such lot or parcel fi:om the acquisition and maintenance of said improvements, and more particularly set forth in the list hereto attached and by reference made a part hereof. Said assessment is made upon the several lots or parcels of land within said street lighting maintenance assessment district in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by said lots or parcels respectively from the acquisition and maintenance of said improvements. The diagram and assessment numbers appearing herein are the diagram numbers appearing on said diagram, to which reference is hereby made for a more particular description of said property. The scope of work includes the maintenance, operation, repair and replacement of all public street lighting facilities located within the public streets and within public easements within private streets within the District Boundaries, as shown on the approved improvement plans for the following Tracts: 7067, 6925, 6956 through 6964, 7136 through 7142, and 7324 through 7327 and, including, but not limited to, the lighting poles, fixtures, conduits, conductors, service boxes, controllers, and appurtenances, and the furnishing of power, together with all incidental expenses for the maintenance, operation, and repair of the street lighting system. Each lot or parcel of land assessed is described in the assessment list by reference to its parcel number as shown on the Assessor's Maps of the County of Alameda for the Fiscal Year 2003-2004 and includes all of such parcels excepting those portions thereof within existing public roads or rights of way to be acquired in these proceedings for public road purposes. For a more particular description of said property, reference is hereby made to the deeds and maps on file and of record in the office of the County Recorder of said County. This District has been established to pay for maintenance, operation and repair of the street light fixtures, which differ fi:om the City Standard. A special light fixture has been created as a community element, which is a benefit to the homeowners within the District boundary. Dated: June 3, 2003 ~ "~:~x.~....~.~l'~ City'Eng' eer 2 ES TIMA TE OF CO S TS The estimated cost for the maintenance of improvements described in this Report for Fiscal Year 2003-04 is as follows: Street lights currently installed or anticipated to be installed in 2003-04:815 total street lights estimated to be installed: (1,021 ultimate improvements) Maintenance Electric Energy $47,680 California Street Light Association $132 Other Repairs and Maintenance Costs $11~, 000 Administration $0 s&s12 Incidentals Engineer's Report and Proceedings $2. 750 County of Alameda Collection Costs (1.7%) $ 753 Delinquencies (1%) $443 Pole Painting Reserve (see description below) $30,230 Contingencies/Unallocated Reserve $46,295 $80,471 TOTAL: $139,283 Future Pole Painting Reserve: For 2003-04 = $9,372 ($115/light x 815 lights + 10 years) Prior Years Pole Painting Reserve = $20,858 Total Future Pole Painting Reserve at end of Fiscal Year 2003-04 -- $30,230 3 METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT 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 2,935 planned single-family residential lots contained within the District. The per lot assessment will be $15.10 per lot for Fiscal Year 2003-2004, increasing to $34.22 (subject to inflation and utility rate increases) at build-out for all residential lots within the boundaries of the District on a per lot basis. Commercial property shall be assessed at 5.5 times the rate for residential lots times the acreage of the lot. Common areas and public land within the District have been exempted and will have a zero assessment since they receive no special benefit with regard to the special light fixtures. Until they are subdivided, the assessment for these lots shall be equal to the per-lot or per-unit assessment each year, times the number of proposed lots within each Tract. With the recording of the future Tract maps, the new assessments will be reapportioned to each of the individual residential lots. As more street lights are installed each year, until all 1,021 are installed, the assessment each year will be based on the estimated cost of maintenance (using the then current numbers in Section 2), 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. In addition to the increase in the annual maintenance cost as a result of additional lights, the annual maintenance cost shall be increased annually beginning July 1, 2000, by the percentage increase in the Bay Area Urban Wage Earner Consumer Price Index ("Index") (applies to all costs except electricity), plus any actual increase in the cost of electricity. !fthe Bay Area Urban Wage Earner Consumer Price Index is unavailable or deemed by the City Council to be inappropriate, a comparable consumer price index, as approved by the City COuncil, shall be used to replace the Bay Area Urban Wage Earner Price Index. SAMPLE CALCULATION: Assume an increase in the index of 1% and a utility increase of 5%.
