COPIES TO: ITEM NO. g:\assessdist\83-2\agsthrng DESCRIPTION: In 1983, the City formed Landscaping and Lighting Assessment District No. 83-2 for the purpose of maintaining landscaping within Tract 4719. The District originally included Stagecoach Park and Stagecoach Road north of the City Limit, but now includes only roadway landscaping along Stagecoach Road and on the "interior slopes" (Coral Way and Agate Way) within the Dublin Hills Estates development. The maintenance cost for Stagecoach Park, as well as the undeveloped Dougherty Hills Park, is paid by the City through the Park Maintenance Operating Budget and is not a part of this Assessment District. The.cost of maintenance of the Stagecoach Road landscaping is spread 60% to the Amador Lakes development (divided among the 552 condominium lots) and 40% to the Dublin Hills Estates development (divided among 150 single-family lots). All of the "interior slope" maintenance cost is spread evenly to the 150 single-family lots. The estimated Juo.. e.130, 2000 reserve for this District is projected to be $34,666. The actual reserve will- not be known until the City closes its books and accrues the necessary revenues and expenses. In the past, portions of the reserve have been used for landscape renovations, and to keep the assessment to property . owners as low as possible. The level of service in this District has been tailored to the available funds (i.e., low assessment, small reserve) as much as possible rather than requesting to increase the assessment in order to perform additional work. This District has quite a large landscaped area which is supported by relatively few property owners. During Fiscal Year 1999-2000, a portion of the existing reserve ($27,972) was used to fund a Capital Improvement Project to upgrade the irrigation system and to plant shrubs along the slope on the east side of StagecOach Road. A Capital Improvement Project to replace existing irrigation controllers throughout the City has been proposed for 2000-2001; the cost for that project which is associated with this assessment district is $870. The new irrigation controllers can be operated bya~neans ora remote device and are ultimately expected to save maintenance costs. For Fiscal Year 2000-2001, no change is recommended with respect to the method qf determining the assessments. The District boundary remains the same.. The assessment to the single-f ~arnily property owners in the Dublin Hills Estates development is proposed to be $228.72 per single-family home. The Amador Lakes Apartments property is proposed to be assessed at a rate 0£$38.68 per dwelling unit (or $21,351.36 for the entire apartment development). This is the same as the 1999-2000 assessment. StaffrecOmrnends that the City Council conduct a public hearing, deliberate, and adopt the' resolution.
