RECOMMENDATION: y' Adopt resolutions.
FINANCIAL STATEMENT: The proposed District cost estimate for Fiscal Year 1994-95 is
$353,179, including an accumulated reserve for future pole replacement. An estimated $148,133 will
be carried over from 1993-94 in the form of reserves. $191,621 is proposed to be assessed to
property owners for the 1994-95 street lighting costs. This is the same assessment as for 1993-94, as
no increases are proposed for 1994-95.
DESCRIPTION: In 1983, the City Council formed a Citywide Street Lighting
Assessment District to replace the County of Alameda Lighting.Service Area. On August 13, 1984,
the City Council approved the annual Engineer's Report and ordered levy of assessments for the first
time. The District expenditures for the last three years and the budget for 1994-95 are detailed on
Exhibit 1.
It is anticipated that the 1994-95 district costs will increase slightly over the 1993-94 costs due to
increased energy costs and new street lights being added to the system. The 1994-95 District
assessment, in turn, is proposed to stay the same compared to Fiscal Year 1993-94. This will require
a use of reserve monies in the amount of$4,386.
A reserve fund has been built into previous budgets for future pole replacement at the economic life of
the pole and for unexpected costs to the District.
As has been previously discussed with the City Council, it is proposed to purchase the PG&E-owned
street lights for long-term savings to this assessment district. Funding for the capital purchase of the
street lights is proposed to be loaned to the district from the General Fund and to be paid back through
the annual savings in energy and maintenance costs. The proposed 1994-99 Capital Improvement
Program includes $400,000 for purchase of the PG&E-owned street lights within Dublin, pending the
results of an appraisal that will be conducted over the next several months. The description of work
in this year's Engineer's Report has been modified to include repayment of the General Fund loan.
For Fiscal Year 1994-95, no change is recommended with respect to the method of determining the
assessments. The District boundary, whichincludes the incorporated limits of the City of Dublin,
will not change from 1993-94. The actual assessments to the individual property owners will be set at
the same rate as was levied for 1993-94. Last year's assessment for a single-family house was
$19.34.
A recent revision to the Government Code provides that, if the assessment is not to increase over the
previous year's level, neither the 45-day noticing requirement nor the 2-hearing requirement apply.
Rather, the requirement reverts to the 10-day notice and single public hearing specified by the 1972
Lighting and Landscaping Act.
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the resolutions approving the preliminary Engineer's
Report and setting a public hearing date of July 25, 1994.
