As shown above, $55,195.08 is proposed to be assessed to property owners for the 1997-98 street
landscaping maintenance costs. The difference between the estimated cost and assessments is made up by
interest revenue on the reserve account and by use of reserve funds. The amount assessed to property
owners ($84.72 per single family home and $42.36 per multi-family dwelling) is the same as the 1996-97
assessment. •
DESCRIPTION: This maintenance assessment district was formed in 1986 as part of
the review and approval of the Villages at Willow Creek development. This assessment district funds the
maintenance of landscaping, including fencing and soundwalls, along the west side of Dougherty Road.
from Amador Valley Boulevard to the northerly City Limit, along Amador Valley Boulevard from
Dougherty Road to Wildwood Road, along Wildwood Road and Fall Creek Road, and certain landscaped
areas within the Ridgecreek single-family home development. Landscaping within the condominium and
apartment developments is the responsibility of the property owner or homeowners' association for those
individual developments. The landscaping along and within the Alamo Creek channel area is not included
in the assessment district as it is the responsibility of Alameda County Flood Control, Zone 7.
Earlier this year, the City Council received a presentation and recommendations regarding the effect of
Proposition 218 on the City's assessment districts. At that time, the Council determined that this
landscape maintenance assessment for 1997-98 would remain at the same level as the 1996-97 assessment.
The time schedule for processing the assessments has been accelerated from previous years, however, with
the public hearing proposed.to be held in June rather than in August.
For Fiscal Year 1997-98, Staff is not proposing a change with respect to the method of determining the
assessments. The District boundary remains the same as last year. The assessment to the property owners
is proposed to be $84.72 per single-family home and $42.36 per multi-family dwelling unit. This is the
same as the past three years' assessments, and Staff proposes to utilize$39,535.92 of the accumulated-
reserve in this District in order to maintain the assessment at the same level. "
For this Fiscal Year, it is proposed to include a project to paint the wrought iron fence along the Alamo
Creek Channel on Wildwood Road and Fall Creek Road in the City's Five-Year Capital Improvement
Program. This fence was originally installed and painted when the Villages at Willow Creek subdivision
was constructed, and it is now in need of repainting to prevent future deterioration from rust. The cost of
the project is estimated at $24,000. This work can be financed through use of a part of the substantial
reserve in this assessment district without increasing the assessment to property owners.
Staff recommends that the City Council conduct a public hearing, deliberate, and adopt the resolution.
