DESCRIPTION:
Background: At the March 16, 1999, meeting, the City Council received a petition requesting
formation of Street Lighting Maintenance Assessment District 99-1 (Dublin_ Ka.~ch). This assessment
district would fund the electric.energy, maintenance, and repair costs associated with the decorative street
lighting that is to be installed in the Dublin Ranch.deyelopment. The City Council previously reviewed
the decorative light that was proposed for the Dublin Ranch development, including estimated costs for
energy and maintenance. The energy and maintenance costs for these lights are anticipated to be
proportionally higher than the energy and maintenance costs for the stand~d ~cgbya~.h~.~e~a~.~stJ~e~,lights in
the rest of the City. The assessment per single family lot for the Citywide Street Lighting Maintenance
District has been $13.26 for the past several years and is anticipated to remain the same for 199%2000.
Therefore, Staff'has recommended that a separate street lighting maintenance district be estab!i~shed, fo[ ~. ......
Dublin Ranch.
FOrmation of Assessment District: The formation of an assessment ~~.nds?ping and
Lighting Act of 1972 requires the following actions:

Part B continued
In addition to the increase in the annual maintenance cost as a result of additional lights (i.e., from 240
lights to the ultimate improvements consisting of 349 lights), the annual maintenance cost shall be
increased annually beginning July 1, 2000, by the percentage increase in the Bay Area Urban Wage
Eamer Consumer Pdce Index ("Index") (applies to all costs except electricity), plus any actual increase in
the cost of electricity. If the Bay Area Urban Wage Earner Consumer Pdce Index is unavailable or
deemed by the City Council to be inappropriate, a comparable consumer pdce index, as approved by the
City Council, shall be used to replace the Bay Area Urban Wage Earner Price Index. Example:
Assume an increase in the index of 1% and a utility increase of 5%.

PART D
METHOD OF SPREAD OF ASSESSMENTS
STREET LIGHTING MAINTENANCE ASSESSMENT DISTRICT NO. 99-1
(DUBLIN RANCH AREA)
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 847 planned single-family
residential lots contained within the District. The per lot assessment will be $23.12 per lot for
Fiscal Year 1999-2000, increasing to $33.59 (subject to inflation and utility rate increases) at
buildout for all residential lots Within the boundaries of the DiStrict on a Per lot basis. All 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 (future Tract 6956)
91 lots (future Tract 6959)
117 lots (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
residential 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 $33.59 (as adjusted for inflation).
It should be noted that future annexations to this District may affect the spread of assessments.
