Provide direction regarding 5 % protest issue
Determine whether Staff should proceed further with the
Landscaping and Lighting District formation
If the City Council wishes to pursue formation of the
District, adopt either
a) Resolution of intention approving
Engineer's Report "A" (street ID:!.d park
landscape maintenance)
OR
b) Resolution of intention approving
Engineer's Report "B" (park landscape
maintenance only)
FINANCIAL STATEMENT:
Per the City Council's direction, the total assessment per single
family home for this proposed landscaping and lighting
maintenance district is not to exceed $18.00 for Fiscal Year
1993-94. Alternate A: A City-wide assessment would raise an
estimated $166,508 (net of administration costs). The Stagecoach
and Villages area assessment districts already maintain portions
of Amador Valley Boulevard, Dougherty Road, and Stagecoach
Road landscaping, and if these two districts are levied a zero
assessment for the new district, the total new revenue would be
reduced to $134,468 (net of administration costs).
Alternate B: If the park maintenance only is covered by
residential property only, the estimated net revenue would be
approximately $119,794, including the properties located within
the Stagecoach and Villages Assessment Districts.
The annual administration of a maintenance district would cost
between $8,200 and $8,900 depending on the alternate chosen.
These costs would be paid by the assessment district and thereby
deducted from assessment revenue to the City.
DESCRIPI'ION: Atthe May 10, 1993, meeting, the City Council adopted a
resolution initiating proceedings for the formation of a new assessment district to be formed under the
Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972.
This assessment district would fund the cost of street and park landscaping maintenance, up to the
total amount that could be collected based on the City. Council's desired cap of $18.00 per single-
family residence. As an alternate, if the City CounCIl chooses to fund the street landscaping program
~~:;~~~~-~---------:;~~~-~~~------------------------------------------------------------------------
.
.
with Gas Tax funds for FY 1993-94, the new district would only fund a portion of the park
maintenance budget.
Adoption of the attached resolution states the City Council's intention to form the assessment district
and sets public hearing dates pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 and the new
assessment district regulations. The proposed district boundary would be the existing City Limits of
Dublin.
The Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 specifies that the district cannot be formed if the property
owners of over 50% of the total property area protest its formation. At the May 10th meeting, the
City Council questioned whether it was possible that a 5 % protest could be instituted to place the issue
on the ballot. Since this issue is not governed by State Law but by the desire of the City Council, the
City Council may institute the 5 % protest factor if it so desires. If so, Staff would need to include
that information in the notice that is sent out to property owners. It should be noted that if this district
were to go to an election, assessments could not be levied for Fiscal Year 1993-94, and the cost of a
special election is estimated to be $25,000. The issue before the voters would be advisory only, in
accordance with Elections Code Section 5353. The cost of an election and administration costs would
amount to over 25 % of the first year's assessments. Since this is such a high percentage, it may be
more prudent to pick a protest percentage at which the City Council would abandon the assessment
district proceedings rather than going to a vote since the purpose of the District would be to offset
existing costs.
Each year that the City Council wishes to levy assessments, the process of mailing a 45-day notice to
all affected property owners and holding 2 public hearings must be undertaken. The process for the
establishment of this new maintenance assessment district and for the establishment of this assessment
district is as follows:

1)
Action Taken
City Council appoints the District Engineer and directs preparation of the
Engineer's Report for costs and assessments.
The Preliminary Engineer's Report is prepared and submitted to the City
Council for review and approval and for setting the two public hearing
dates.
2)
3)
A public hearing notice is sent out to all property owners in the District
explaining the scope of work and proposed assessments. The notice
must be mailed at least 45 days in advance of the second public hearing
date.
4)
5)
The first hearing is held for information and for taking public testimony.
The second hearing is held and the City Council finally approves the
Engineer's Report and sets the assessments for the upcoming fiscal year.
The City receives a new March 1 assessor's roll on magnetic computer
tape.
Staff compares the previous year's records with the new roll, makes
makes necessary adjustments and transmits the new data to a computer
service to put on magnetic tape with the new assessments.
The approved Engineer's Report and the
computer tape are delivered to the County Auditor.
6)
7)
The two alternate Engineer's Reports attached to this agenda statement are as follows:
Engineer's Report Alternate "A"
Alternate "A" would fund a portion of the street landscaping budget, the street tree budget, and the
park maintenance budget. It would be a City-wide district covering all land uses, including residential
and commercial properties.
The assessment spread is proposed to be based on using a method of factor rates assigned to different
land uses. The establishment of a factor rate of "1" would be calculated by dividing the total
assessment for the year by the sum of factor rate numbers assigned. A single-family home and a
condominium would have a factor of 1; multiple units of 2 to 4 units would have a factor of 3;
Page 2
.
.
apartment complexes would have a factor of 6; and all non-residential uses would have a factor of 5.5
per acre of land. The 5.5 unit for non-residential uses is derived from an average single-family lot
being under 8,000 square feet. Dividing this area into an acre equals 5.5. Publicly-owned land,
cemeteries, and common open space would have a factor of zero. Vacant property would have an
assessment equal to one-half of the amount the property would have if built upon. The single-family
lot with a factor of 1 would have an assessment of $18.00 for Fiscal Year 1993-94, other uses being
multiples of the factor times $18.00.
As this is a benefit assessment district, a connection must be made between the assessment and the
benefit to those being assessed. The primary benefit to residential users is in the use of the park
system. The commercial properties benefit from having landscaped commercial area medians and
street trees, making Dublin a more pleasant place to shop and conduct business. All uses benefit from
the increased property value of property because of upkeep of street landscaping.
Within this proposed District under Engineer's Report Alternate "A" are two existing landscape
maintenance assessment districts. These are the Stagecoach Road District, which now maintains the
landscaping along Stagecoach Road, as well as some of the interior slope landscaping within the
development, and the Villages District, which maintains landscaping along Amador Valley Boulevard
and Dougherty Road. As both these existing Districts are already assessed for landscaping along
major streets, and the assessments are far above the proposed $18.00 single-family assessment, it is
Staff's recommendation that the properties within the Villages and Stagecoach Districts have a zero
assessment.
Engineer's R~port Alternate "B"
Should the City Council choose to fund the street landscaping program with Gas Tax monies by
postponing the Dublin Boulevard widening and repair between Hansen Drive and Silvergate Drive,
the Alternate "B" report would apply.
This alternate would only fund a portion of the park maintenance budget. As non-residential uses
receive limited benefit from park maintenance, it is Staff's recommendation that the assessments be
levied only on residential uses.
The assessment factors for the residential uses would be the same as outlined in Alternate" A," and all
non-residential uses would have a zero factor.
Still using $18.00 as the assessment for a single-family lot and a use factor of 1, the revenue would
decrease because of the loss of assessments to non-residential uses.
It is recommended that the Stagecoach and Villages Districts be assessed in this case, as the
assessments from those two Districts do not pay for any of the park system maintenance.
It should be noted that the City Council may determine not to form the assessment district or may
change the amount of the assessment as part of the hearing process. Once this District is formed, the
noticing and public hearing process will need to continue for the approval of each year's levy of
assessments.
Staff recommends that the City Council (1) provide direction regarding the 5% protest factor; (2)
determine whether Staff should proceed further with Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance
Assessment District 93-1; and, if formation of the District is to be pursued, (3) adopt either
Resolution of Intention Alternate "A" (street and park landscape) or "B" (park landscape only).
Adoption of either resolution would approve the appropriate Engineer's Report and set two public
hearing dates of July 26 and August 9, 1993. .

NOTICE OF ASSESSMENT
LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING
MAINTENANCE ASSESSMENT DISTRICT 93-1
The City Council has initiated proceedings for the purpose of forming a new assessment district which
will help to offset the cost of street and park landscape maintenance. These activities include turf
maintenance, irrigation maintenance, pruning, weeding, fertilizing, and related landscaping items, as
well as the utility costs for irrigation. The City Council has specified that the assessment per single-
family home or condominium is not to exceed $18. Multiple-residential units of 2 to 4 units shall be
assessed at the rate of $54; those over 4 units shall be assessed at the rate of $108. Commercial, and
non-residential lots will be assessed at the rate of $99 per acre (or a zero rate if Alternate "B" is
chosen).
ENGINEER'S REPORT
Copies of the Preliminary Engineer's Report for this assessment district are available at the City
Offices, 100 Civic Plaza, Dublin, California 94568. The Engineer's Report explains the scope of
work, a breakdown of the costs that are proposed to be paid by the assessment district, and the
method of proportioning the assessments between residential and commercial properties.
PUBLIC HEARINGS
Two public hearings will be held for the purpose of hearing protests regarding this assessments. At
the first hearing, on July 26, 1993, the City Council will take testimony from the public. At the
second hearing, on August 9, 1993, the City Council will again take testimony and then consider and
act upon the Engineer's Report. The public hearings will be held at regular City Council meetings,
which begin at 7:30 p.m. These meetings will be held in the Council Chambers of the Dublin Civic
Center, 100 Civic Plaza, Dublin.
PROTESTS
If you wish to protest this assessment, your protest must be made in writing and must be sent to the
City of Dublin, 100 Civic Plaza, Dublin, California 94568. Protests must be received no later than
the close of the second public hearing as listed above. Your protest should include both the street
address of the property and the assessor's parcel number (APN) of the property. The APN for your
property is indicated on the mailing label for this notice. You may use the form below and/or write a
letter which includes the information on the form.
The Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 provides that a majority protest, which would consist of
property owners of over 50% of the area of assessable lands, would cause the abandonment of the
assessment. (Optional: The City Council has decided that if a 5 % protest is received, this district
would go to an election, in which case no assessment would be levied for the 1993-94 tax year.)
