DESCRIPTION: This assessment district, which was formed in the fall of 1996, funds
street landscape maintenance and utility costs for the Santa Rita development area, also known as Emerald
Park. This area is bounded by Arnold Road on the west, Gleason Drive on the north, Tassajara Road on
the east, and Interstate 580 on the south. The District was fonned at the request of the property owner to
assure that all of the landscaping in Emerald Park was maintained at a consistently high level as it was not
believed that maintenance by homeowners' associaûons would accomplish the same desirable end result.
The scope of work includes maintenance of roadside landscaping for Dublin Boulevard. Hacienda Drive,
Central Parkway, a portion of Arnold Road. Tassajara Road (westerly portion), and a portion of Gleason
Drive, plus the maintenance of the trail and landscaping along the Tassajara Creek channel, as delineated
on Page 2 of the Engineer's Report.
The total maintenance and administraûon cost for this District for Fiscal Year 2004-2005 is expected to be
$240,050. It is proposed to use existing reserves to offset part of this cost; the proposed total assessment
for Fiscal Year 2004-2005 is $231,971. The total developed acreage in this District is now 428.26 acres,
which breaks down to a per~acre assessment of$541.66. As provided in the Engineer's Report, individual
lots in residential subdivisions are assessed based on density: the number of acres in the subdivision is
divided by the number of lots, and the resulting quoûent is the assessment per lot. For Fiscal Year 2004-
2005, the following assessments resulted from this calculation:
California Creekside single--family lots:
California Brookside multi-family units:
SummerGlen - Richmond American (north) lots:
SummerGlen - Richmond American (south) lots:
SummerGlen - Kaufinan & Broad and Pulte lots:
Dublin Greene Tract 7084 single--fàmily lots:
Dublin Greene Tract 7149 mulûMfamily units
Dublin Greene Tract 7149 condominium/apartment units
$77.02 per lot
$33.90 per unit
$63.84 per lot
$74.26 per lot
$115.60 per lot
$81. 62 per lot
$61. 48 per unit
$32.04 per unit
Commercial (including retail, office, and industrial uses, as well as apartment properties) are assessed based
on the per~acre figure mulûplied by the number of acres per individual lot.
Staff mailed a newsletter to property owners (Attachment 3) along with a copy of the public hearing notice
and scheduled an informational meeting for the evening of July 15th to answer questions and discuss any
issues related to maintenance activities or the proposed assessment.
Staff recommends that the City Council conduct a public hearing, deliberate, and adopt the resolution
approving engineer's report, confinning diagram and assessment, and ordering levy of assessment.

SANTA RITA (EMERALD PARK) DEVELOPMENT AREA
LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING ASSESSMENT DISTRICT 97-1
INFORMATIONAL NEWSll: I I ER
July 2004
".-
/;J Û¿)~
WHAT IS AN ASSESSMENT DISTRICT?
A maintenance assessment district is an area within a City in which property owners receive a benefit from certain
public improvements, and for which the property owners pay the cost of maintaining those Improvements. The City of
Dublin cunently has two City-wide street light maintenance assessment districts, which fund the cost of energy and
maintenance for the public street lighting system, as well as three landscape maintenance assessment districts which
fund the cost of utilities and maintenance fOr street·side landscaping and related improvements. The landscape
maintenance assessment districts are specific to certain development areas.
WHY DO WE HAVE ASSESSMENT DISTRICTS?
Developer"'nstalled residential area street..ide landsc:aping in the City of Dublin Is not maintained through the
City's General Fund. City street landscaping that is maintained through the City's General Fund includes ONLY median
landscaping (which the City also pays for In the Santa Rita Development Area), and landscaping installed by the City as
part of a capital Improvement Project on an arterial street. All other street-side landscaping Is either maintained
privately or through an assessment district. In this way, the City's General Fund can be used for many other public
services, which include Police and Fire Services, park maintenance, recreation programs, and library services.
When new development Is in the Initial planning stages, the developer requests, and the City determines whether the
street.side landscaping will be maintained by the City through an assessment district or whether the landscaping will be
maintained by a homeowners' or property owners' association. In the case of the Santa Rita (Emerald Park) area, the
County, as developer, felt that a more consistent appearance and maintenance standard could be achieved through the
assessment district than through multiple homeowners' associations.
WHAT AREAS ARE INCLUDED IN THE DISTRICT?
The Santa Rita Development Area includes the area bounded by 1-580, Tassajara Road, Gleason Drive, and Arnold
Road. The specific areas that are to be maintained are as follows:
1. The northerly and southerly street frontsges for DubHn Boulevard from Arnold Road to Tassajara Road.
2. The northerly and south8l1y street frontages for Central P81kway from Arnold Road to Tassajata Road excluding the
school frontage landscaping and Emerald Glen ParI< frontage /andSC8p1ng.
3. The southerly street frontage for Gleason DrIve from Arnold Road to TaSSBjara Road, excluding the Emerald Glen
Pari< frontage landscaping, from Ta88ajara creek to Tsssajara Road.
4. The easterly street frontage for Arnold Road from DubHn Boulevard to Gleason Drive.
5. The easterly and westerly street frontages for Hacienda DrIve from the 1-58O/Hacienda interchange to Gleason
Drive.
8. The westerly street frontage of Tassajara Road 350 feet southerly of the Tassajara Road and Dublin Boulevard
/nterS8CtiOn, to the Tassajara RoadIG/eason DrIve intersection.
7. Tassajara Creek and trail from 1-580 to Gleason Drive.
Street median landscape maintenance and park maintenance ate not pa1f of this DistrIct.
WHAT IMPROVEMENTS ARE MAINTAINED?
Improvements that are maintained by the District Indude landscaped and open space areas, entry features, entry
lighting, masonry soundwalls, wrought iron fences, publicly-owned drainage ditches, Irrigation systems, and trees and
plants. The cost indudes water and power for irrigation systems, labor and materials, and administrative costs for both
the City and the County Assessor's office.

HOW IS THE ASSESSMENT AMOUNT DETERMINED?
1366 J5'
Each year, the City estimates the cost of utilities and maintenance for the upcoming flSC8l year and divides that cost
among the properties In the assessment district, based on an adopted fonnula. The assessment for each property
appears on the property tax bill as a Mspecial assessment. M The funds collected in this manner can only be used for the
purpose outlined in the Engineer's Report for the assessment district. Any funds that remain unused at the end of the
fiscal year are earned over as surplus to be used in the future for District landscape maintenance.
The prepandion of the initial Engineer's Report for the District included cost estimates for maintenance of
improvements for both the first year (1997-98) and for MbI.lildoutM when all of the improvements have ultimately been
installed. The City estimates that Mbulldour will occur approximately four to five years from now.
WHAT ASSESSMENTS HAVE OCCURRED SO FAR?
The initial (1997-98) assessment for this Diatrict was based on a maintenance cost estimate that assumed the City
would accept specific areas of landscaping from the developers during Fiscal Year 1997-98. Subsequently, the
improvements that were anticipated to be accepted in 1997-98 were not accepted by the City, as these improvements
were Incomplete or In an unsatisfadory condition, and no assessment district funds were expended in 1997-98. As a
result, the assessment for the following year, 1998-99, was set at zero. Since that time, the City has accepted
additional areas of landscaping each year. A significant amount of landscaping was added during the 2002-2003 fiscal
year, including the Tassajara Creek Trail and parts of Dublin Boulevard, Central Parkway, and Hacienda Drive. For
Fiscal Year 2003-2004, it is anticipated that additional landscaping along Dublin Boulevard, central Parkway and
Tassajara Road will be accepted. Please see the enclosed map which shows the locations of these improvements.
The City expects to be maintaining most of the landscaping that was included In the original engineer's estimate by the
end of Fiscal Year 2003-2004, with a small commercial area at the southwest comer of Dublin Boulevard and Hacienda
Drive remaining to be added at a later date.
The fonnula for future years includes an assessment cap for buildOut, which is $710 per acre of developed land, plus
annual increases are allowed according to the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and for adual increases In utility rates. The
following table compares the initial (1997-98) assessment, the 2003-2004 assessment, the proposed 2004-2005
assessment (same as 2003-04), and the estimated MbI.lildout- assessment, which is based on $710 per acre.·

*The $710 per acre bulldout assessment is subject to increase according to the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and actual
utI1ity rate increases as noted above. The CPI rate of increase has ranged from ~ to 5.59£ per year for the past few
years. There have been both water and eleCtriC rate Increases during the past few years.
MAINTENANCE ACTMTlES
/4 ófJ )5
In 2003..04, the City undertook an Inventory and condition assessment of trees that are maintained by the District. This
inventory will serve as the basis for a tree maintenance program that Is expected to reduce tree maintenance costs in
future years.
In addition to nonnal maintenance and utility costs, the City is planning improvements for the upcoming fiscal year
which include provision of additional street-side trash receptacles and replacement of shrubs and ground cover in
various locations.
The budget for this Assessment District for 20Q4..05 is as follows:
Revenues:
Total Amount Proposed to be Assessed:
Estimated Interest Revenue:
Estimat6d Prior Year Collections and Penalties:

$230,187
Expenditures:

Administration and Engineering:
Total OperBting Expenses:
$238,800
1.260
$240,060
Expenditures exceed revenues, and so a portion of the existing reserve In the District will be used to fund
approximately $10,000 of the maintenance cost. It is important to maintain a reserve balance 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.
ARE PROPERTY OWNERS NOTlRED IN ADVANCE ABOUT ASSESSMENTS?
The City is ntquired by law to hold annual public hearings regarding Landscaping and Lighting Assessment Districts
and to provide 1 D-day hearing notices that explain the procedure to follow if you want to protest the assessment. The
public hearing for the 2004-2005 assessment Is July 20, 2004. Unless the assessment is proposed to be increased
above the maximum established by the initial Engineer's Report ($710 per acre plus Consumer Price Index and utility
rate increases), the public hearing notification requirement Is by means of publication in the newspaper and posting in
the City's established posting locations. If possible, the City will continue to mail you annual newsletters and notices.
The hearings are normally held in late July or earty August.
WHAT ISSUES ARE DISCUSSED AT THE HEARING?
The public hearing usually includes a presentation by City Staff which describes the District improvements and any
changes that have taken place or may take place the following year. The report includes an accounting of expected
costs and the amount that is proposed to be assessed. The City Council may comment on the report and then
members of the public may ask questions, raise concerns, or protest the assessment.
CAN THE DISTRICT BE DISSOLVED?
Some residents have inquired about the means of cancelling or removing their property from the assessment district.
It is theoretically possible to cancel the assessment in anyone year by means of a majority protest (by owners of more
than 50% of the property). However, the Alameda County Surplus Property Authority, as developer of the area that is
included in the Assessment District, has recorded a Declaration of Conditions, Covenants, and Restrictions (CC&R's)
that imposes a -Deed Assessment- on each parcel in an amount equal to the amount of the Landscape Maintenance
Assessment. The Deed Assessment ensures that the property owners will fund the cost of the specific landscape
maintenance that is covered by the Assessment District. The County would then collect the Deed Assessment along
-

with property taxes. The Deed Assessment will only be collected if the Landscape Maintenance Assessment is not
collected in a given year.
