On May 21, 2019, a ballot measure was proposed and passed, to reorganize LMD 87-1 to form a new
landscape maintenance district (LMD 19-1) by detaching 327 commercial properties. The existing
residential development areas within LMD 87-1 remained as LMD 87-1.
Fiscal Year 2023-24 assessment rate is proposed to remain unchanged at the Fiscal Year 2022-23 rate
of $210.68 ($17.55 per month) per benefit unit per year. LMD 87-1 currently has no approved
escalation factor for increasing the maximum assessment rate. In Fiscal Year 2021-22, service levels
for landscape maintenance were reduced from a level B to a level C to align expenses with assessment
revenue. For Fiscal Year 2023-24, the landscape maintenance service level will remain at level C.
Service level C consists of performing landscape maintenance (e.g., irrigation inspection, removal of
trash and debris, trimming of shrubs, fertilizing, mowing, edging pruning, sweeping) for respective
areas within LMD 87-1 on a monthly basis. Services may continue to be reduced to align with
assessment revenue and to accommodate unexpected repair needs that arise.
City Council's approved Fiscal Year 2023-24 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 California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
Fiscal Impact:
LMD 87-1 does not include a voter-approved inflator which puts pressure on service levels as
expenses increase over time due to inflation while revenues do not. Fiscal Year 2023-24 LMD 87-1
assessment rate remains unchanged from the Fiscal Year 2022-23 rate of $210.68 per benefit unit per
year. Revenue for LMD 87-1 is comprised of $41,293.00 from assessments, $1,312.00 in estimated
interest earnings and $6,031.00 in General Fund contributions. Estimated revenues are sufficient to
cover planned service levels. Service levels may be subject to adjustments depending on the
frequency and magnitude of unplanned events.
Public Notification:
A Notice of Public Hearing was published in the Poway News Chieftain on Thursday, June 29, 2023.
Pursuant to Government Section 53753, all public notification requirements have been met. No
responses have been received regarding proposed assessments at the time this report was written.
