The individual assessments are calculated at $146.20 per single-family home and $73 10 per multI-family parcel. This is a 2.8% increase above the 2005-06 assessment, which is commensurate with the Consumer Price Index rate of increase (April 2006) and is allowed under the terms of the Engineer's Report that was approved in 2001 Thc budgeted cost of maintenance exceeds the projected income for the District; therefore, approximatcly $4,197 of the District reserve will be used to offsct the cost of maintenance, The cash balance at the end of 2006-2007 is estimated at $66,235 DESCRIPTION: This maintenance assessment distnet 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, mcluding 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 thc Ridgeereek single~family horne development. Landscaping within the condominium and apartment developments is the respol1sibi lily 0 f the homeowners' association or property owner 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 COlmty Flood Control, Zone 7 In fiscal Year 2001-02, the assessment in this District was increased by 54%, as the reservc funds had become depleted and could no longer be uscd to offset utility and mamtenanee cost increases, The rate merease was approved by property owners under the terms of Proposition 218 The property owners also approved an escalation clause for future years that allows the assessment to be increased to cover (I) actual increases m utility cost, and (2) inflationary increases in the cost of maintenance, as determined by the Consumer Pnee Index rate of increase. The latest Consumer Price Index information available prior to development of the budget (April 2006, Bay Area Urban Wage Earners) indicated that the rate of merease is 2.8%, therefore, the proposed assessment for 2006-2007 has been increased by approximately 2.8%, from $92,666 to $95,250. There arc no changes in the District boundary or the method of ealeulating the spread of assessments. hl 2005-2006, reserve funds from this District were utilized to paint the wrought iron fence along Fall Creek Road. The bids received for pamhng were lower than expected, and so sufficient funds remain in the reserve to paint the fence along Wildwood Road in 2006-2007 In addition, the budget for the upcommg year includes funds for three "annual color" flower changes at entry comers and also for replaecment of shrubs that have died or are in poor condition. A newsletter was mailed to property owners the week of June 26th, and a neighborhood meetmg was scheduled for July 6th. No property owners attended the meeting, and as of writing this Staff report, no questions or comments had been received by telephone or e-mail. Staff recommends that the City Council conduct a public hearing, deliberate, and adopt the resolution approving the Engineer's Report, eonIlrming the diagranl and assessment, and ordering levy of assessment.

The median and roadside landscaping along the north side of the street for the entire length of Willow Creek Drive. . Roadside landscaping along Shady Creek Drive within Lots 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 15, 16, 37, 38, south of Lot 145, and at the northeriy end of Crossrklge Road, all within Tract 5511 .

Roadside landscaping, fence, and pathway improvements along the west and north sides of Fall Creek Road. other common landscaping improvements not included In the assessment dlstrtct's scope of work are malntllined by the homeowners' associations of individual Villages. landscaping within the Alamo Creek area is maintained by the Alameda County Flood Control Dlstrtct, Zone 7 The cost of park improvements and park maintenance, including the Alamo Creek Trail, is paid by the City and not charged to the assessment district, PROP05EDASSESSMENT The Engineer's Report which was approved by vote of property owners in 2001 allowed for an increase In the annual assessment in order to continue maintenance of the District landscaping at the current level. The approval also included an escalation clause that allows an annual increase in maintenance cost based on the Consumer Price Index (Bay Area Urban Wage Eamers) rate of inflation, as well as any actual increases In the cost of utilities. The Consumer Price Index rate of increase as of Aprtl 2006 was at 2.8%, Therefore, a 2.8% increase has been applied, and the proposed assessment for the 2006-2007 Fiscal year is as follows: Per single family lot; Per multl..famlly unit or townhouse $146.20 $ 73.10 ($3.98 increase) ($1.98 Increase) The funds collected through assessments are accounted for separately from other City funds. These funds can only be used for speelfied expenses within the boundaries of the Assessment District. PUBLIC HEARING The City Is required to notify property owners each year regarding a required public hearing for the Assessment Dlstrtct. State Law requires that this notice be given by means of a notice printed In a local newspaper and posted in official City posting locations. A copy of the public heartng notice is included with this newsletter as a ATTAUBIIENT 3. /J.-{'( Id-' courtesy The public hearing regarding the 2006-2007 assessment will be held at the regular City Council meeting of JUly 18, 2006. The meeting begins at 7:00 p.m. In the Council Chambers of the Dublin Civic Center ~ City staff has scheduled an infonnational meeting prior to the Public Hearing in order 10 provide an opportunity to answer questions and address concems in an informal setting. The informational meeting will be held in the Regional Meeting Room of the Civic Center, 100 Civic Plaza, on Julv 6.2006 at 6:30 1M!1. DISTRICT ACTIVITIES The City wtll continue to utilize TruGreen LandCare as its primary maintenance contractor in this District. MCE Corporation will provide some supervision and irrigation repair services as needed to supplant TruGreen's work. The District budget for 2006-07 Is proposed to be as follows: Revenues: Total Amount Proposed to be Assessed: Estimated Interest Revenue: Estimated Prior Year Collections and Penalties Less Estimated Collection and Delinquency Cost: Net Total Revenues: $96,260 $ 2,493 $ 420 ($2.0971 $96,066 Expenditures: Contract Landscape Maintenance: Utilities: Administration and Engineering: Total Operating Expenses: $77,118 $21,880 $ 1.266 $100,263 Based on the above figures, approximately $4,197 of the existing reserve in this District will be used to offset expenses. The reserve balance at the end of Fiscal Year 2006-2007 is expected to be approximately $66,200, During 2006-G8, the Fall Creek portion of the wrought iron fence along the creek was repainted. It is proposed to repaint the Wildwood Road portion of this fence during 2006-07 The park fence is maintained as part of the City's park maintenance budget, and therefore any maintenance of the park. fence is not paid through this assessment district. other proposed el<penditures for 2006-07 include periodic replaeement of flowering annual plants on entry comers and replacement of shrubs that have died or become unattractive. A portion of the District reserve is being used for this work; as noted above, the projected expenditures exceed projected revenues by $4,197 It is Important to maintain a reserve balance in District funds for the following reasons: (1) The City does not receive income from an assessment until midway through a fiscal year The reserve therefore provides operating capital for the District until the funds are received from the assessor's office. (2) In the event of an unforeseen emergency, such as a major irrigation break or a catastrophic freeze, the reserve provides funds for repairs or plant replacements, REPORTING VANDALISM AND MAINTENANCE PROBLEMS The City's policy is to repair vandalism damage and eradicate graffdi as soon as we become aware of iI. If you notice vandalism occurring or are able to provide a description of vandals, please contact Dublin Poli<::e Services at 462-1212. If you notice damage or graffiti that has already occurred, or If you notice broken sprinklers or other types of maintenance problems, please call the Public Works Department at 833-6630. We appreciate your helpl If you have any questions about the proposed assessment or maintenance activities in this assessment district, please call the City's Public Works Department at 833-6630.
