DESCRIPTION: This assessment district funds the electric energy, maintenance, and repair costs
associated with the decorative street lighting within the Dublin Ranch development (Phase I and Areas G
and A, excepting the golf course) and also in the Tract 7067, which is the Clifden Parc development off
Mountain Rise Place in the western hills. 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 790 lights by the end of
Fiscal Year 2002-2003.
For Fiscal Year 2002-2003, no change is recommended with respect to the method of determining the
assessments. The assessment for a single-family house is estimated to be $15.10, which is the same as the
2001-2002 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.
Staff recommends that the City Council conduct a public hearing, deliberate, and adopt the resolution
resolution approving engineer's report, confn'ming diagram and assessment, and ordering levy of
assessment.

3 METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT
The maintenance of the street lighting within the boundaries of the Assessment District benefits
each residential lot in the District in the same manner and to the same extent. 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 2002-2003, increasing to $34.22 (subject to inflation and utility rate increases) at
build-ont 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%.
ULTIMATE IMPROVEMENT COST $93,562
LESS ENERGY COST (SUBJECT TO RATE INCREASE ONLY) $(45,577)
ASSESSMENT SUBJECT TO INDEX INCREASE $47,985
