Resolution Establishing Assessments for Poway Landscape Maintenance
District 86-3 to be Collected on the San Diego County Property Tax Roll for
Fiscal Year 2019-20
At the City Council meeting o n J une 18, 2019, Council adopted Resolution No. 19-030 declaring
the intention to levy and collect assessments within L andscape Maintenance District 86-3 and set
the public hearing for July 16, 2019.
Both commercial and residential assessments are proposed to remain unchanged from the Fiscal
Year 2018-19 rates . Service level reductions were implemented in Zone A during Fiscal Year
2009-10 t o ensure District expenses did not exceed projected revenue. Zone A service level is
being further reduced to level C and may be subject to f urther adjustment during F iscal Year 2019-
20 depending on frequency and magnitude of unplanned events. Zone B balances and revenues
are projected to be sufficient to remain at service level A.
Re commende d A ction:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution establishi ng assessments
for Poway Landscape Maintenance District 86-3 to be collected on the San Diego County Property
Tax Roll for Fiscal Year 2019-20.

income housing apartments having 40.36 units)

Both commercial and residential assessments are proposed to remain unchanged from the Fiscal
Year 2018-19 rates of $163.00 per benefit unit per year ($13.58 per benefit unit per month), and
$75.31 per benefit unit per year ($6.28 per benefit unit per month), respectively. 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.
A ballot for an assessment increase in Zone A failed in 1998. As a result, it was necessary to
reduce service levels 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. The five-year budget
and revenue projection indicate that it may be necessary to undertake a Proposition 218 ballot 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 use of district
reserves. Service levels are to remain at level A because of a sufficient reserve fund balance. A
proposition 218 ballot passed in 1998 which allows for an annual CPI increase, if necessary.
Since the reserve balance is healthy, application of the CPI increase this fiscal year is not
required.
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 86-3A for assessments is $25,917, and
interest of $480. General Fund contributions are in the amount of $1,345.
Revenue generated from Landscape Maintenance District 86-3B for assessments is $16,379, and
interest of $1,600. General Fund contributions are in the amount of $6,725.
