Resolution Establishing Assessments for Poway Landscape Maintenance
District 86-2 to be Collected on the San Diego County Property Tax Roll for
Fiscal Year 2019-20
At the City Council meeting on June 18, 2019, Council adopted Resolution No. 19-029 declaring
the intention to levy and collect assessments within Landscape Maintenance District 86-2 and set
the public hearing for July 16, 2019.
Assessments are proposed to remain unchanged from the Fiscal Year 2018-19 rates . In Zone A ,
where a 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 is being reduced to level C and may be subject to further adjustment during Fiscal
Year 2019-20 depending on frequency and magnitude of unplanned events. Zone B balances
and revenues are projected to be sufficient to maintain service level A.
R e commende d A ctio n:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution establishing assessments
for Poway Landscape Maintenance District 86-2 to be collected on the San Diego County Property
Tax Roll for Fiscal Year 2019-20.

The Fiscal Year 2019-20 assessments for Zone A are proposed to remain at the Fiscal Year
2018-19 rates of $186.16 per benefit unit per year ($15.51 per benefit unit per month). Zone B
assessments will increase to $308.84 per benefit unit per year ($25.74 per benefit unit per month)
less than the maximum of $468.66. 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 2019-20
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 is being reduced to level C and may be
subject to further adjustment during Fiscal Year 2019-20 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. 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. The last time a CPI increase was applied
was in Fiscal Year 2008-09. 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 2019-20 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:
None.
Fiscal Impact:
Revenue generated from Landscape Maintenance District 86-2A assessments is $20,477.60, and
interest of $320. General Fund contributions are in the amount of $3,356.
Revenue generated from Landscape Maintenance District 86-2B assessments is $51,885.12, and
interest of $1,300. General Fund contributions are in the amount of $3,013.
Public Notification:
Pursuant to SB 1977, Section 50078.6, all public notification requirements have been met. No
responses have been received regarding the proposed assessments at the time this report was
written.
