Item 7 - Reso Est. Assessments for LMD 86-2 for Fiscal Year 2020-21July 21, 2020, Item #7DATE: TO: FROM: CONTACT: SUBJECT: Summary: AGENDA RE PO RT City of Poway CITY COUNCIL July 21, 2020 Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council Eric Heidemann, Director of Public Works 1 \\" Will Wiley, Assistant Director of Public Works for Maintenance Operation~/ (858) 668-4705 or wwiley@poway.org ~y Resolution Establishing Assessments for Poway Landscape Maintenance District 86-2 to be Collected on the San Diego County Property Tax Roll for Fiscal Year 2020-21 At the City Council meeting on June 16, 2020, Council adopted Resolution No. 20-041 declaring the intention to levy and collect assessments within Landscape Maintenance District (LMD) 86-2 and set the public hearing for July 21, 2020. Assessments are proposed to remain unchanged from the Fiscal Year 2019-20 rates. In Zone A, where a Proposition 218 ballot to increase assessments failed, service level reductions were implemented during Fiscal Year 2009-10 to ensure District expenses did not exceed projected revenue. Zone A service level was reduced to level C and may be subject to further adjustment during Fiscal Year 2020-21 depending on frequency and magnitude of unplanned events. Zone B balances and revenues are projected to be sufficient to maintain service level A. Recommended Action: It is recommended that the City Council adopt the Resolution. Discussion: LMD 86-2 was formed on May 20, 1986, to maintain landscape improvements installed in conjunction with new subdivisions within the boundaries of the District. LMD 86-2, by Zone, includes the following developments: Zone A (110 residential parcels assessed) 1 of 5
July 21, 2020, Item #7TRACT PROJECT NAME TTM 4185R Sunrise Ranch TTM 87-12 Silver Ridge (aka Poway Villas) TTM 89-03 Eagle Pointe (aka La Paz Summit) TPM 97-15 Paradise Development TTM 89-05 Southern Hills (aka Poway Summit Estates) Zone B (residential developments) includes the following: TRACT PROJECT NAME TTM CUP 83-02 06-09 (M) Sycamore Creek Loma Cabrillo, LLC The Fiscal Year 2020-21 assessments for Zone A are proposed to remain at the Fiscal Year 2019-20 rates of $186.16 per benefit unit per year ($15.51 per benefit unit per month). Zone B assessments will increase to $316.10 per benefit unit per year ($26.34 per benefit unit per month) less than the maximum of $479.67. The rates of assessment are based on the required revenues divided by the number of benefit units within each Zone as outlined in the Fiscal Year 2020-21 Engineer's Report. Ballot actions for assessment increases in Zone A failed in 1998 and 2009. As a result, it was necessary to reduce service levels during Fiscal Year 2009-10 to ensure District expenses did not exceed projected revenue. Zone A service level was reduced to level C and may be subject to further adjustment during Fiscal Year 2020-21 depending on frequency and magnitude of unplanned events. It should be noted that the five-year budget and revenue projection indicates that it may be necessary to undertake a Proposition 218 process in Zone A to request an assessment increase to meet the District's service and capital requirements in future years. Total revenue in Zone B (assessments, the general fund contribution and interest) is anticipated to be insufficient to offset Zone B's projected expenses this fiscal year without increasing the assessments by the San Diego Consumer Price Index (CPI). Proposition 218 balloting passed in 1998 that allowed for an annual CPI increase, if necessary. Service levels are to remain the same because of the ability to adjust assessments by the CPI. Zone B properties participated in a community-based landscape renovation project in Fiscal Years 2011-12 and 2015-16 due to the neighborhood's desire to utilize a portion of their reserve funds to reinvest in their subdivision entry signage, irrigation and landscaping. The City Council's approved Fiscal Year 2020-21 Engineer's Report is on file in the Office of the City Clerk, 13325 Civic Center Drive and the Department of Public Works, 14467 Lake Poway Road, Poway, California. Environmental Review: This action is not subject to review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Fiscal Impact: Revenue generated from LMD 86-2A assessments is $20,477.60, and an estimated amount of interest of $650.00. General Fund contributions are in the amount of $3,435.00 Revenue generated from LMD 86-2B assessments is $53,104.50, and an estimated amount of interest of $500.00. General Fund contributions are in the amount of $3,084.00 2 of 5
