This assessment district was formed in 1999 at the request of the developers in Dublin Ranch. The Clifden Parc development was annexed in 2000, and Dublin Ranch Areas A and G were annexed in 2001. The City began maintaining some of the lights in Dublin Ranch Phase I, and also in Clifden Parc, during the 2001-2002 Fiscal Year. It is expected that the City will be maintaining up to 815 lights by the end of Fiscal Year 2005-2006. For Fiscal Year 2004-2005, no change is recommended with respect to the method of determining the assessments. The assessment for a single-family residence is estimated to be $15.10, which is the same as the 2003-2004 assessment. A portion of the reserve in this assessment district will be used to offset the budgeted increase in the cost of maintenance. As noted in the Preliminary Engineer's Report, a portion of the reserve is being set aside each year for future pole painting costs. The poles are expected to need repainting on a ten-year cycle. Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the resolutions approving the preliminary Engineer's Report and setting a public hearing date o£July 20, 2004, for the 2004-2005 assessment.

Therefore, the Assessment has been equally apportioned over the proposed 2,935 planned single-family residential lots contained within the District. The per lot assessment will be $15.10 per lot for Fiscal Year 2004-2005, increasing to $34.22 (subject to inflation and utility rate increases) at build-out for all residential lots within the boundaries of the District on a per lot basis. Commercial property shall be assessed at 5.5 times the rate for residential lots times the acreage of the lot. Common areas and public land within the District have been exempted and will have a zero assessment since they receive no special benefit with regard to the special light fixtures. Until they are subdivided, the assessment for these lots shall be equal to the per-lot or per-unit assessment each year, times the number of proposed lots within each Tract. With the recording of the future Tract maps, the new assessments will be reapportioned to each of the individual residential lots. As more street lights are installed each year, until all 1,021 are installed, the assessment each year will be based on the estimated cost of maintenance (using the then current numbers in Section 2), divided by the number of lights to be installed that year, provided in no event will the per lot assessment be more than $34.22 (as adjusted for inflation). It should be noted that future annexations to this District may affect the spread of assessments. In addition to the increase in the annual maintenance cost as a result of additional lights, the annual maintenance cost shall be increased annually beginning July 1, 2000, by the percentage increase in the Bay Area Urban Wage Earner Consumer Price Index ("Index") (applies to all costs except electricity), plus any actual increase in the cost of electricity. If the Bay Area Urban Wage Earner Consumer Price Index is unavailable or deemed by the City Council to be inappropriate, a comparable consumer price index, as approved by the City Council, shall be used to replace the Bay Area Urban Wage Earner Price Index. SAMPLE CALCULATION: Assume an increase in the index of 1 % and a utility increase of 5%.
