CONSENT CALENDAR
May 31, 2022
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Dee Williams-Ridley, City Manager
Submitted by: Eleanor Hollander, Economic Development Manager Subject: Assessments: North Shattuck Property Based Business Improvement District
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution approving the North Shattuck Property Based Business Improvement District (NSBID) Annual Report of Fiscal Year (FY) 2022 and proposed budget for FY 2023, and declaring Council’s intention to levy an annual assessment for the NSBID for FY 2023.
FISCAL IMPACTS OF RECOMMENDATION
Assessments levied in the North Shattuck Business Improvement District (NSBID) support a package of improvements and activities approved by the property owners and the City Council when the District was renewed for a ten year period on June 16, 2020 (Resolution No. 69,454–N.S). Assessment funds are collected by Alameda County, relayed to the City of Berkeley, and disbursed through a contract with the North Shattuck Association (NSA), a private owners’ association that was established to implement the Management District Plan.
In June of 2020, the City Council authorized the City Manager to execute a contract and any amendments with the North Shattuck Association, not to exceed $2,652,778 of BID revenues, to implement the North Shattuck Management District Plan for the period July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2031 (Contract No. 32100055). The contract covers the years remaining in the current term of the NSBID establishment.
NSBID assessments are projected and budgeted at approximately $210,363 in FY 2023. Assessment funds are deposited into NSBID Fund 785-21-208-251-0000-000- 000-412110 and expended from fund 785-21-208-251-0000-000-446-636110. Though the NSBID’s adopted Management District plan allows for an annual 5% assessment increase for inflation, the majority of the North Shattuck Association’s Board of Directors met on April 21, 2022, and determined that no rate increase was warranted in FY23 as the current assessment sufficiently covers the slate of services proposed for the coming year. Project funds not spent in any given fiscal year are carried over into future years.
By financing improvements, maintenance and marketing activities for the North Shattuck business district, the NSBID indirectly enhances sales tax, business license

tax and other business-related City revenue sources. No City properties have been or will be assessed in the NSBID.
CURRENT SITUATION AND ITS EFFECTS
State legislation that authorizes formation of property-based BIDs (California Streets and Highways Code, Sections 36600 et. seq.) requires that the BID governing body submit an Annual Report on operations and a budget proposal to the City Council each year. The City Council may approve the report with a Resolution to reauthorize the annual assessments.
The Board of Directors of the NSA met in a publicly noticed meeting on April 21, 2022 to review and approve the attached Annual Report for the NSBID for FY 2022 (Exhibit A).
The report includes a budget for improvements and activities for FY 2023 and an estimated cost for providing them. The report also recommends that the assessments for FY 2023 be levied on the same basis and method, and within the same boundaries, as they were levied for FY 2022 without the allowable annual 5% fee increase. See Exhibit B: North Shattuck BID FY 2023 Assessment Roll. Council can adopt the recommended resolution which will confirm the NSBID assessment, thus enabling continuous BID operations in the North Shattuck district for another year.
BACKGROUND
The NSBID was first established by Resolution of the Berkeley City Council in 2001 (Resolution No. 61,168-N.S.) to implement a Management District Plan that had been developed by a steering committee of merchants and property owners. In accordance with the Management District Plan adopted in Resolution No. 61,168-N.S, the NSBID had a lifetime of ten years, expiring in 2011. On May 3, 2011, Council approved Resolution No. 65,265-N.S. reestablishing the NSBID for 10 more years, ending in Fiscal Year 2021. Further, on June 16, 2020, Council approved Resolution No. 69,454– N.S reestablishing the NSBID for an additional 10 years. Thus, the NSBID is authorized through 2031 unless action is taken to dis-establish it.
The NSBID finances special improvement, maintenance and marketing activities that benefit commercial properties and businesses in the North Shattuck District.
NSBID activities are performed above and beyond baseline services provided by the City.
The Management District Plan that was adopted by Council in 2020 as part of the reestablishment of the District provides a framework and budget for the NSBID’s activities. In FY 2023, the NSBID will continue its ongoing services including District maintenance, public improvements, holiday lighting, and marketing/promotional activities. The NSBID will continue to provide cleaning and outreach services in the public right of way. Events and activities promoting the District will continue throughout the year, including winter holiday promotions and safe group outdoor commerce installations. Regular arts and events newsletters will be shared, and ongoing marketing efforts will continue via the NSBID website and other social media. The NSBID will also continue to liaise and coordinate with other business

district organizations, Visit Berkeley, the Chamber of Commerce, and the Berkeley Business District Network (BBDN) to promote local business and economic development opportunities in Berkeley.
ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY AND CLIMATE IMPACTS
By maintaining and enhancing the District, the NSA creates shopping opportunities for residents and visitors alike while encouraging alternative forms of transportation. The District is walking distance from the North Berkeley and Downtown Berkeley BART Stations. Several AC transit lines provide easy accessibility to visitors coming to this popular regional destination. Because the District is well served by public transportation and biking infrastructure, these services support environmental sustainability goals of encouraging alternative transportation choices and reducing vehicle miles traveled.
RATIONALE FOR RECOMMENDATION
Property and Business Improvement District Law of 1994 requires that the BID Board prepare an Annual Report for each fiscal year in which assessments are to be levied. Council action is required to approve the BID’s Annual Report, and declare its intent to levy assessments.
This private/public partnership generates significant resources for revitalization of the North Shattuck District has a positive effect on the physical and economic health of the City of Berkeley.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS CONSIDERED
The Board of the NSBID considered opting for the allowable 5% increase in assessment rates but instead decided not to levy an increase in the assessment rate, declaring that an increase, would not be necessary to cover the slate of proposed services. The NSA Board determined that the existing assessment level would be sufficient to address the goals outlined in the FY2023 budget and work plan.

ANNUAL REPORT TO THE CITY OF BERKELEY
FISCAL YEAR 2022
Introduction
The North Shattuck Business Improvement District (NSBID) was reestablished for a new 10-year period by the Berkeley City Council on June 16, 2020 (Resolution No. 69,454-N.S.) under provisions of the State of California Property and Business Improvement District Law of 1994. The NSBID was formed in 2001 and renewed in 2011 and again in 2020 to implement a Management District Plan developed and revised in 2020 to address the specific needs of the District and which sets forth the projected activities of the NSBID and the allocation of BID assessment revenues to each activity.
The renewed North Shattuck BID consists of 54 parcels owned by 52 property owners, generally bounded by Rose on the north, Delaware on the south, taking in the block of Vine east of Shattuck Ave. The assessments fund special benefits within the District, enhancing the North Shattuck area’s streetscape environment with infrastructure improvements, ongoing maintenance, and special events to new customers and visitors, increase business sales, and attract and retain businesses.
The NSBID is managed by the non-profit North Shattuck Association, whose Board of district business and property owners and Executive Director coordinate implementation of the Management Plan. The Property and Business Improvement District Law of 1994 requires that the owners’ association that is responsible for administering a BID prepare an annual report for each fiscal year for which assessments are to be levied.
This report reviews Fiscal Year 2022 operations, and states goals and objectives for Fiscal Year 2023 of the NSBID, which begins July 1, 2022 and ends June 30, 2023. This report includes the improvements and activities for the year, an estimate of the cost of the improvements and activities, the amount of any surplus or deficit revenues are to be carried over from the previous fiscal year and the amount of any contributions from other sources are named in the annual report and budget. There are no proposed changes in the boundaries of the district nor to the method and basis for levying the assessment.

During Fiscal Year 2022, the North Shattuck Association continued implementation of the activities and services outlined in the Management District Plan under a renewed annual contract between the City of Berkeley and the North Shattuck Association (NSA). Activities of the district are organized into Administration/ Program Management, District Identity and Placemaking, and Maintenance/Civil Sidewalks. Accomplishments in each area are summarized below.
Administration/Program Management
The Executive Director held regular meetings of the Board of Directors and General Association meetings with merchants, property owners, City staff and elected officials were held in person when possible and via Zoom regularly during the year to further the goals and objectives of the Association, focusing on business assistance and retention during the recovery from the Covid- 19 pandemic. This included updates on current health orders and guidelines for re-opening, financial relief and technical assistance programs through various agencies, and city grant opportunities through the Outdoor Commerce program, Civic Arts Recovery Grants, and the Business/Building Damage Mitigation Fund.
The Association continued its involvement with the Berkeley Business District Network (BBDN) to address with citywide issues and programs including the IKE Digital Kiosks and worked with the Berkeley Chamber of Commerce and Visit Berkeley to organize citywide events and marketing programs including Restaurant Week and the Berkeley Holidays campaign, as well as the launch of the Berkeley Bucks program. The Association provided input to the City’s Pathways to Permanence program to extend and upgrade outdoor commerce areas and parklets installed during the COVID-19 shutdown and provided support to area businesses to continue and upgrade their outdoor operations, including coordinating free design assistance and movement of equipment. The Executive Director is coordinating the City’s Outdoor Commerce Grant Program, which provides grant to completed projects and distributes funding for new projects as well as funds to make the existing projects permanent. To date this program has been very successful with 16 grants disbursed across the City, including 6 in the district.

The Executive Director worked with the Ecology Center’s market managers to reorganize the layout of the Farmers Market Thursday operations to allow additional vendors, including prepared foods, to join the market with the lifting of capacity limitations and social distancing requirements. The Association funded more music and activities in the market area by the Saul’s/parking bay outdoor commerce area, including a series of Thirsty Thursday events during the summer and fall of 2021, and klezmer bands for Purim/St. Patrick’s Day in March and in May for the holiday of L'og B'omer. Plans for an expanded Thirsty Thursday schedule to extend weekly from July to September were also formulated. The Executive Director maintained an inventory of all businesses and vacant retail and office space in the district and provided updates to the City’s Economic Development office on business openings and closures due to the pandemic. The former Walgreen’s store at Cedar and Shattuck was leased by a bouldering gym and is under renovation. Several businesses moved within the district during the year including H. Julian Designs from Shattuck to the former Molly B site on Vine St., and A Priori to the former Earthly Goods site at the corner of Vine and Shattuck. The Association is working with property owners and brokers to market the various vacant properties for prospective new businesses, including the 3 storefronts being rehabbed at Delaware St., and several spaces in turnover on Vine St. The Association provided marketing and support to new businesses and new owners in the area this year including a new owner of Corso, Artistic Visions Framing Shop which moved from downtown, Cose Bella boutique in the former Foxglove space, and Flavia, Mexicana Taqueria and Sunnyside Cafe in Epicurious Garden. In partnership with Another Bullwinkel Show event production company, the Association submitted a successful Civic Arts Recovery Grant application for the Chocolate & Chalk Art Festival held annually in the district. The grant of $15,000 covers fiscal years 2022 and 2023. The funding will provide for increased marketing and outreach for the event, professional artist works, and larger prizes for chalk artists in the contest.
Civil Sidewalks/Maintenance
The Association continued to provide funding and oversight for a regular maintenance program for sidewalks, public spaces, and public property including sidewalk and gutter sweeping, weeding of tree wells, and maintenance of the landscaped ceramic planters throughout the District. As part of the North Berkeley in Bloom recovery campaign (March/April 2022), many planters were replanted and refreshed with blooming flowers and tree wells and sidewalk areas were cleared of weeds and debris. Private property owners were also asked to replant and clean their landscaped areas. The Executive Director coordinated with City of Berkeley staff to address maintenance issues including street tree replacements, graffiti abatement, sidewalk steam cleaning and repair, trash receptacle maintenance and sewer and street repair projects. Curb re- painting and improved median maintenance were also requested as part of the North Berkeley in Bloom project.

The Association coordinated meetings of merchants, property owners, BPD, and the City’s HOTT team to deal with street behavior issues, trespassing and illegal dumping issues on private property and sleeping
during the day in the public right of way and made requests for additional bike patrol officers to assist in keeping the area safe. The City provided cards with available services and appropriate numbers for reporting incidents and requesting assistance for mental health issues for distribution to the area merchants and customers. Holiday lighting was installed for the entire length of the district for the winter holiday season in the sidewalk street trees as well as in median tree locations with electricity access. The lighting provides ambience as well as security and pedestrian lighting in the evenings.
District Identity/Placemaking
The Association continued to produce a Constant Contact e-newsletter featuring the latest updates on business operations and hours, events, outdoor dining and services, safety protocols, and ways to shop online or by phone, etc. Social media posts on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter were done regularly to boost exposure businesses, drive sales, and help businesses connect with customers. The district website was updated with new business for the directory and links to online events, classes, and information about district activities and re-opening.
The Association placed print and digital ads on local online sites online highlighting our events and a series of ads promoting shopping at small local businesses in the district in new ways. Through a partnership with Nearlist, a locally focused mobile business application, the Association did a series of postcards to promote discovering our district and enrolled over 20 businesses in the free mobile business directory accessible via a QR code. Each business and the Association have interactive pages on the site, can message directly with customers and each other, offer discounts or specials, and provide updates.
Nearlist is working to expanding the directory and offer additional features on the website and pages.
Coordinated with the Ecology Center to organize and present a series of “Thirsty Thursdays” events in the fall of 2021 at the North Berkeley Farmers Market with live music from the Berkeley High Jazz Band and other local acts, beer and wine, an Ecology Center pop-up shop and program booths, and an Association marketing table with business information and giveaways. The same area and set-up was used for 2 additional festive events sponsored by the Association and Saul’s with klezmer music at the market on St. Patrick’s Day/Purim and in May for the holiday of L'og B'omer.
Winter Holiday events included a Sidewalk Sale in the district in conjunction with ACCI Gallery’s 2nd Annual Holiday Street Market on Dec. 4th on Lincoln St. and Saul’s Latke Party on Dec. 4th and 5th. Both events had live music and other area businesses joined in with special sales and giveaways. M. Lowe & Co. had acoustic music outside, and Kitchen on Fire came outdoors to promote their classes and line of wellness teas and drinks during the event. The sale was marketed with print and online ads, and through our social media channels.

Jewelers, to provide much-needed activity on the street and support the Jazz program. As part of the North Berkeley in Bloom recovery campaign (March/April 2022), the Association worked with a local artist to produce a new series of decorative light pole banners to line Shattuck Ave. The banners have colorful hand drawn bird and flowers to fit the theme of re- opening.

CONSENT CALENDAR
May 31, 2022
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Dee Williams-Ridley, City Manager
Submitted by: Eleanor Hollander, Economic Development Manager Subject: Assessments: Telegraph Property Based Business Improvement District
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution approving the Telegraph Property Based Business Improvement District (TBID) Annual Report of FY 2022 and proposed budget for FY 2023, and declaring Council’s intention to levy an annual assessment for the TBID for FY 2023.
SUMMARY
The Telegraph Property Based Business Improvement District (TBID or “the District”) provides cleaning, hospitality and marketing services for Berkeley’s Telegraph Avenue commercial district. In May of 2017 the TBID was geographically expanded and renewed for a ten-year period, authorizing operations through December 31, 2027, and designating the Telegraph Property and Business Management Corporation (TPBMC) as the District’s Owners’ Association. Annually, Council must approve the TBID’s annual report and proposed budget and declare its intention to levy an annual assessment.
The City of Berkeley owns one parcel (the Telegraph Channing Parking Garage at 2431 Channing Way) within the boundaries of the TBID and is required by state law to pay the associated assessments. The assessment payment will be $49,103 in FY 2023; in addition, the City will pay the General Benefit portion of the TBID costs, or roughly $29,816.44. The City already makes an annual grant to TBID, through the Public Commons for Everyone Initiative (PCEI), which exceeds this general benefit amount, so there will be no new fiscal impacts related to funding the general benefit.
FISCAL IMPACTS OF RECOMMENDATION
Assessments levied in the Telegraph Property Based Business Improvement District (TBID or “the District”) support a package of improvements and activities approved by the property owners and the City Council when the District was renewed for a ten-year period on May 2, 2017 (Resolution No. 67,940-N.S.). Assessment funds are collected by the Alameda County Assessor’s Office, relayed to the City of Berkeley, and disbursed through a contract with the Telegraph Property and Business Management Corporation (TPBMC), a private owners’ association that was established to implement the Management District Plan. TPBMC has an active contract with the City, not to

exceed $7,410,024 of BID revenues, to implement the Telegraph Management District Plan for the period January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2027 (Contract No. 10835).
Collections from private parcel assessments (less the county’s collection fee of 1.7%) are projected and budgeted at approximately $583,315 in FY 2023. Collections from tax exempt parcels (owned by the Regents of the University of California and the City of Berkeley) are projected and budgeted at approximately $161,079 in FY 2023. Annual and accrued private parcel assessment funds are deposited into Telegraph BID Fund 784-33-324-342-0000-000-000-412110 and expended from fund 784-21-208-251-0000- 000-446-612990. An annual increase of up to 3% to account for inflation is allowed by the Management District Plan and must be approved by a majority of the TPBMC’s Board of Directors. On April 12, 2022 the TPBMC board met and voted to raise assessments by 3% from the FY22 level due to a variety of factors including the modest increase in previous years. Project funds not spent in any given fiscal year are carried over into future years. TPBMC collects assessments directly from the University of California with no involvement from the City.
Under the provisions of Proposition 218 in the California Constitution, government agencies must pay assessments on properties they own in property-based BIDs, just like private property owners, unless they receive no benefit. Payment is collected from private property owners through property tax bills. Payments are due from non-property tax-paying entities concurrently. The City’s assessment payment in FY 2023 would be $49,103 (increased by $1,430) from the FY2022 assessment of $47,673). The City’s assessment is paid annually through the Off-Street Parking Fund (627-54-622-665- 3002-000-474-639990).
The City also pays for the “general benefit” portion of the TBID budget. “General benefits” represent that small portion of the overall benefits generated by a property- based business improvement district which are found to accrue to the general public who are not assessed and do not participate in the economic or social activities of the district. The engineer’s report commissioned for the reestablishment of the TBID in 2017 calculated that the baseline general benefit for the district would be approximately $28,947 annually. The City already makes annual grants to the TBID which exceed this amount, so there will be no new fiscal impacts related to funding the general benefit.
By financing improvements, maintenance and welcoming activities for the City’s central business district, the TBID indirectly enhances sales tax, business license tax and other business-related City revenue sources.
CURRENT SITUATION AND ITS EFFECTS
State legislation that authorizes formation of property-based business improvement districts (BID) (California Streets and Highways Code, Sections 36600 et. seq.) requires that the BID governing body submit an Annual Report on operations and a budget proposal to the City Council each year. The City Council may approve the report with a Resolution to reauthorize the annual assessments.
Assessments: Telegraph Property Based Business Improvement District CONSENT CALENDAR May 31, 2022
The Board of Directors of the Telegraph Property and Business Management Corporation (TPBMC), the non-profit that manages the TBID, met in a publicly noticed meeting on April 12, 2022 to review and approve the attached Annual Report for the TBID and Budget for FY 2023 (Exhibit A). The report includes a budget for improvements and activities for FY 2023 and an estimated cost for providing them. The report also recommends that the assessments for FY 2023 be levied on the same basis and method, and within the same boundaries, as they were levied for FY 2022, with a 3% increase (Exhibit B: Telegraph BID FY 2023 Assessment Roll). Council can adopt the recommended Resolution which will confirm the TBID assessment, and thus enable continuous BID operations for another year.
BACKGROUND
The TBID is a benefit assessment district that provides cleaning, hospitality and marketing services for Berkeley’s Telegraph Avenue commercial district. The TBID was created in 1998 pursuant to California’s “Property and Business Improvement District Law of 1994” to provide needed improvements and activities to assessed property owners. Since the initial five-year term, the TBID has been renewed for a second five-year term in 2003, a ten-year term in 2008, and underwent an expansion and ten-year renewal in 2017. As such, the TBID is authorized through 2027 unless action is taken to disestablish it.
In FY 2023, the District should generate approximately $750,257 for the provision of “Clean, Safe, and Beautification” services, communications and economic development, and related management and administration. The budget of the TBID is approximately $761,274 inclusive of taxable and non-taxable parcels and private donations, and net of the County 1.7% collection fee on private parcels (Exhibit A). The TBID Assessment Revenue amount articulated in Exhibit A ($514,102.22) is slightly different ($69,212) to account for uncollectable property tax and funds that will be carried forward from the prior year.
The Management District Plan that was adopted by Council in 2017 as part of the reestablishment of the District provides a framework and budget for the TBID’s activities, assessment method, and illustrates the TBID boundary and benefit zones.
The Management District Plan provides for services above and beyond those provided by the City of Berkeley. Under “The Right to Vote on Taxes Act” (also known as Proposition 218) all public agencies are required to pay the same assessments for public property that apply to private property. The City owns one property within the district, the Telegraph Channing parking garage at 2431 Channing Way. The FY23 assessment for that property will be $49,103, a $1,430 increase (approximately 3%) from the FY2022 assessment.
In FY 2023, the TBID will continue its ongoing “clean safe and beautification” activities, including ambassador services, graffiti removal, manual sidewalk cleaning and sidewalk pressure washing, hazardous waste cleanup, gutter and storm drain cleaning, street sweeping, litter removal, enhanced landscaping and landscape maintenance, and small
Assessments: Telegraph Property Based Business Improvement District CONSENT CALENDAR May 31, 2022
infrastructure improvements including holiday lights, place-making activities, seasonal promotions, and other special projects. The TBID will also continue its program of communications and community development activities to provide a unified voice to represent the best interests of the assessed parcels, and fulfill a slate of stakeholder communications that support the District’s agenda to attract visitors. The TBID will also continue to liaison and coordinate with other business district organizations, including Visit Berkeley, the Chamber, and the Berkeley Business District Network members to promote local business and commercial development opportunities in Berkeley.
ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY AND CLIMATE IMPACTS
By maintaining and enhancing the district, the TBID creates shopping opportunities for residents and visitors while encouraging alternative forms of transportation. The District is also served by several AC Transit lines and BART, which provide access to visitors from around the region. Because the District is well served by public transportation and biking infrastructure, these services indirectly support environmental sustainability goals of encouraging alternative transportation choices.
RATIONALE FOR RECOMMENDATION
The Property and Business Improvement District Law of 1994 requires that the BID Board prepare an Annual Report for each fiscal year in which assessments are to be levied. Council action is required to approve the BID’s Annual Report, and declare its intent to levy assessments. This private/public partnership will continue to provide significant resources for Telegraph area revitalization, which has had a positive effect on the physical and economic health of the district.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS CONSIDERED
The Board of the TBID considered a range between 1.5% and 3% increases in assessment rates but instead decided to opt for a 3% increase (the maximum allowable is 3%) to its existing assessment rate, in order to make adequate investments in expanded capacity of the Ambassador Program, and increase marketing efforts to promote district businesses.

Telegraph Clean & Safe Ambassador Program
The single most significant element of the TBID's ongoing work is their ambassador program which is provided through a contract with Block by Block. In keeping with the Management
District Plan, the program provides 240 hours per week of cleaning and hospitality services year‐round, seven days a week. Services include: trash and graffiti removal, power washing, sanitation, and beautification projects. The program comprises roughly 65% of the TBID’s budget.
The program also works collaboratively with UC Berkeley’s Homeless Outreach Coordinator and City staff to address the needs of unhoused community members in the District. The Ambassadors are trained in de‐escalation and conflict resolution strategies; and respond to help unhoused community members, businesses, students, and local agencies to peacefully navigate conflicts and disruptive behaviors (often the result of substance abuse or a mental health crisis). Finally, our organization facilitates weekly coordination/case management meetings with city and university staff (social service and law enforcement) resulting in a more thoughtful and humane approach to problems involving our unhoused community.

May 31, 2022
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Dee Williams-Ridley, City Manager
Submitted by: Henry Oyekanmi, Director, Finance Department Subject: Notice of Appropriations Limit for Fiscal Year 2023
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution providing notice that: 1) Council will adopt an appropriations limit for Fiscal Year 2023 at its meeting of June 28, 2022; and 2) the amount of the limit and the background material used in its calculation will be available for public review in the City Clerk’s Office on or before June 13, 2022.
FISCAL IMPACTS OF RECOMMENDATION
On June 28, 2022, the Council will set the Fiscal Year 2023 appropriations limit. The amount of appropriations subject to the limit is the budgeted proceeds of taxes (e.g., all taxes levied; transfers from an enterprise fund to the extent those transfers exceed the cost of providing the services; discretionary state subventions; interest earned from the investment of proceeds of taxes, etc.), and the total of these budgeted revenues cannot exceed the total appropriations limit. The City’s actual appropriations in each fiscal year have been significantly below the limit, as they will be for Fiscal Year 2023. Thus, there are no present fiscal implications of establishing the limit.
CURRENT SITUATION AND ITS EFFECTS
Senate Bill 1352 requires that 1) the governing body of each local jurisdiction shall, by a legislative action, establish its appropriations limit at a regularly scheduled or special meeting and that documentation used in the determination of the appropriations limit shall be made available to the public fifteen days before that meeting. Government Code Section 7910 requires that the City adopt its appropriations limit prior to the beginning of each fiscal year.
This Resolution gives public notice of Council’s intent to adopt an appropriations limit for Fiscal Year 2023 at its meeting of June 28, 2022, and that the documents used in calculating the limit will be available for public review on or before June 13, 2022.

Senate Bill 152, Government Code Sections 7900, et. seq, enacted by the Legislature of the State of California, provided for the implementation of Article XIII B defining various terms used in this article and prescribing procedures to be used in implementing specific provisions of the Article.
ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY AND CLIMATE IMPACT
There are no identifiable environmental effects or opportunities associated with the subject of this report.
BACKGROUND
The Finance Department of the City of Berkeley compiles the data and makes calculations incident to the determination of the XIII B appropriations limit. The amount of the Fiscal Year 2023 appropriations limit and the documentation incident to the determination thereof will be available for review by the public in the Office of the City Clerk on or before June 13, 2022, at least fifteen days prior to the Council’s scheduled adoption of the appropriation limit, as required by law.

Depending on when grants are officially awarded and the amounts are determined, the grant budgets will be adjusted as part of a future amendment to the FY 2023 Annual Appropriations Ordinance.
CURRENT SITUATION AND ITS EFFECTS
As a local health jurisdiction, the City of Berkeley provides a broad range of public health program services to the community, with the goals of addressing health inequities, promoting healthy environments and behaviors, protecting residents from disease, and preventing illness, disability, and premature death. Alameda County revenue is an important source of support for these City public health programs. In FY 2023, there are no significant changes to this support.
1. Foster Care Program: Meets State mandated Child Health and Disability Prevention (CHDP) requirements. This is the Health Care Program for Children in Foster Care (HCPCFC) which provides preventive health services for Berkeley children in foster care. Services include: medical and health care case planning; referrals for medical, dental, mental health and developmental services; coordination of health services for children in out-of-county and out-of-state placements; and medical education through the interpretation of medical reports and training for foster care team members on the special health care needs of children and youth in foster care.
2. Berkeley High School and Berkeley Technology Academy Health Center Programs: Provides clinical and health education services to adolescents attending Berkeley High School and Berkeley Technology Academy.
3. School Linked Health Services Program (Measure A Funding): Increases the capacity of Berkeley Unified School District to meet the health, medical, and dental needs of K-5 students, and to create the infrastructure to more effectively perform public health surveillance for communicable diseases, promote school connectedness, and reduce chronic absenteeism.
4. Tobacco Prevention Program: Provides tobacco cessation services, enforcement of tobacco retail licensing requirements, and youth prevention education.
Revenue Grant Agreements: Funding Support from Alameda County to CONSENT CALENDAR Conduct Public Health Promotion, Protection, and Prevention Services May 31, 2022
BACKGROUND
The City of Berkeley receives funding from many sources annually to complete work related to improving the health of the community. As a local health jurisdiction, the City receives specific funding through Alameda County to meet core public health objectives.
The Division is committed to providing services to the community to promote healthy environments and prevent the spread of disease.
ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY AND CLIMATE IMPACTS
There are no identifiable environmental effects or opportunities associated with the subject of this report.
RATIONALE FOR RECOMMENDATION
These funds provide necessary revenue to support vital services related to the City of Berkeley’s mandates as a Public Health jurisdiction. They also support the Department’s work to reduce health inequities in Berkeley and improve the health of our community.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS CONSIDERED
The Public Health Division assesses each funding source to ensure that it supports the City’s mission and goals. The alternative action of not seeking any of these funding sources would be a significant reduction in public health services to the community.

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution authorizing the City Manager or her designee to submit grant agreements to the State of California, to accept the grant, and execute any resultant revenue agreements and amendments to conduct public health promotion, protection, and prevention services for the Tuberculosis Control Program in the projected amount of $14,000 for FY 2023.
FISCAL IMPACTS OF RECOMMENDATION
The City of Berkeley will receive funds in the estimated amount of $14,000 from the State of California for FY 2023 for the Tuberculosis Control Program. There is no match required. The State formula for distribution of Tuberculosis Control funding is dependent upon the number and complexity of active tuberculosis cases and the actual amount may be significantly different from anticipated levels if there are fewer or more qualifying cases.
Spending of all referenced grant funds is subject to Council approval of the budget for each fiscal year and the Annual Appropriations Ordinances. Depending on the timing of when grants are officially awarded and the amounts are determined, the grant budgets will be adjusted as part of a future amendment to the FY 2023 Annual Appropriations Ordinance. Tuberculosis Control Program funds typically support Public Health Officer’s Unit staff work with people with Tuberculosis.
The grant award will be deposited and expensed from the Health (General) Fund. (Revenue): 312-51-506-563-0000-000-000-432110 and (Expense): 312-51-501-503- 2077-451-various.
CURRENT SITUATION AND ITS EFFECTS

and mortality of Tuberculosis by increasing compliance and breaking the chain of transmission.
As a local health jurisdiction, the City of Berkeley provides a broad range of public health programs and services to the community, with the goals of addressing health inequities, promoting equitable, healthy environments and behaviors, protecting residents from disease, and preventing illness, disability, and premature death.
BACKGROUND
The City of Berkeley receives funding from many sources annually to complete work related to improving the health of the community. As a local health jurisdiction, the City is entitled to specific State funding to meet core public health objectives. The Public Health Division is committed to providing essential services to the community to prevent the spread of disease and promote healthy, equitable environments.
ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY AND CLIMATE IMPACTS
There are no identifiable environmental effects or opportunities associated with the subject of this report.
RATIONALE FOR RECOMMENDATION
These funds support vital services related to our mandates as a public health jurisdiction and local initiatives designed to address health inequities in Berkeley and improve the health of Berkeley residents. These non-competitive grants support the Department’s mission and provide the City with funding to continue working to protect and improve the health of the community.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS CONSIDERED
The Public Health Division assesses each funding source to ensure that it supports the City’s mission and goals. The alternative action of not seeking any of these funding sources would be a significant reduction in mandated public health services to the community.

organizational changes underway, including multiple staff and program relocations across three locations; resulting in a need for additional furniture and equipment.
Additionally, furniture and equipment are needed to provide accommodations for physical distancing and workplace ergonomics. Updated furnishings will enable our staff and community members to engage safely in socialization and health promotion activities.

Expenditure Contract: California Mental Health Student Services Act Grant funds for Berkeley Unified School District CONSENT CALENDAR May 31, 2022
BACKGROUND
The City of Berkeley partnered with BUSD to seek Mental Health Student Services Act (MHSSA) funding from the MHSOAC to address pressing needs within BUSD related to student mental health and wellness. Although some specific uses of funding will be determined in the program development phase, initial planning conversations between District and school leadership and the Mental Health Division have resulted in the identification of three priority areas for MHSSA funding:
Dedicated staff to facilitate relationship building and service coordination across BMH and BUSD
Services to address BUSD’s most pressing mental health needs through increased availability of on-campus mental health treatment, navigation support for parents/caregivers, and training for teachers and school staff related to student mental health and wellness
A comprehensive assessment and strategic planning process to inform BUSD’s long-term approach to student mental health
This agreement will provide the framework for a much stronger partnership between BMH and BUSD, increasing coordination at every level of service delivery, and ensuring that students’ most pressing mental health needs are identified and addressed as soon as possible. Moreover, it will allow BUSD to develop a robust mental health delivery system for students in collaboration with the City’s Mental Health Division; increasing the resources available for student wellness and strengthening navigation support for parents/caregivers and other stakeholders.
ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY AND CLIMATE IMPACTS
There are no identifiable environmental effects, climate impacts, or sustainability opportunities associated with the subject of this report.
RATIONALE FOR RECOMMENDATION
These funds will support the City’s ability to support BUSD in providing needed mental health services for students in Berkeley. Providing safe and equitable access to essential health services is a key purpose of HHCS.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS CONSIDERED
No alternatives consistent with the City’s goal of providing equitable mental health services were identified.

Submitted by: Liam Garland, Director, Department of Public Works Subject: Approving Proposed Projects Anticipated to be paid for by the State’s Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) Funds for FY2023
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution approving a proposed list of projects that will utilize funding from the State of California’s Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account, and authorize the City Manager to submit the proposed list to the California Transportation Commission.
FISCAL IMPACTS OF RECOMMENDATION
Based on information provided by CaliforniaCityFinance.com and the League of California Cities, the City of Berkeley can expect to collect an estimated $2,661,527 in Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) allocated funding in Fiscal Year (FY) 2023. No budgetary action is required at this time. RMRA appropriations will be addressed with the adoption of the FY 2023 Budget.
CURRENT SITUATION AND ITS EFFECTS
California Senate Bill 1 (SB1), signed into law on April 28, 2017, increased certain vehicle fuel and registration taxes and fees, and with those funds has created an RMRA, a portion of which will be distributed to jurisdictions. The California Transportation Commission (CTC) requires jurisdictions to submit documentation annually that RMRA funds were specifically adopted for allowed local streets and roads purposes. In order to receive this funding, the City must annually submit to the State a list of projects anticipated to be completed. For FY 2023, the CTC requires the submission of a list of projects proposed to be funded with RMRA during FY 2023 by July 1 2022. The adoption of the attached resolution by Council is a CTC requirement for Berkeley’s RMRA project list submittal.
BACKGROUND
On April 28, 2017, the Governor signed Road Repair and Accountability Act (SB1) to address basic road maintenance, rehabilitation, and critical safety needs on both the state highway and local streets and road system. SB1 provides for the deposit of various funds for the program in the RMRA, which SB1 created in the State Transportation Fund, including the following:
18
Resolution Approving Proposed Projects Anticipated to be Paid for by CONSENT CALENDAR the State’s Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) Funds May 31, 2022 for Fiscal Year 2023
Revenues attributable to a $0.12 per gallon increase in the motor vehicle fuel (gasoline) tax imposed by the bill with an inflation adjustment; 50% of a $0.20 per gallon increase in the diesel excise tax, with an inflation adjustment;
A portion of a new transportation improvement fee imposed under the Vehicle License Fee Law with a varying fee between $25 and $175 based on vehicle value and with an inflation adjustment; and
A new $100 annual vehicle registration fee applicable only to zero-emission vehicles model year 2020 and later, with an inflation adjustment.
The fuel excise tax increases took effect on November 1, 2017, the transportation improvement fee took effect on January 1, 2018, and the zero-emission vehicle registration fee takes effect on July 1, 2020.
Similar to the Highway Users Tax Account (HUTA), the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) is continuously appropriated, and apportioned on a monthly basis. There is not a set monthly amount as it is use-based. The first apportionments to the City of Berkeley were received in February 2018.
According to the applicable California Streets and Highways Code, eligible projects “shall be prioritized for expenditure on basic road maintenance and road rehabilitation projects, and on critical safety projects”1. There is no use-it-or-lose-it requirement in SB1, so multi-year projects are eligible. Eligible projects include, but are not limited to:
Road maintenance and rehabilitation
Safety projects
Railroad grade separations
Complete streets components, including active transportation, bike/pedestrian, transit facilities, and stormwater capture projects, in conjunction with an allowable project
Traffic control devices
Match for state/federal funds for eligible projects
SB1 requires cities and counties to provide basic project reporting to the CTC annually for projects to be funded through the RMRA. On August 16, 2017, the CTC adopted annual reporting guidelines for this funding. The guidelines require jurisdictions to submit documentation annually to show that RMRA funds were specifically adopted for allowed local streets and roads purposes, and also requires the submission of a list of projects proposed to be funded with RMRA during the fiscal year. The legislation also requires an annual expenditure report on work completed during the previous fiscal year to be submitted no later than October 31st.
Complete streets improvements such as bike lanes, curb ramps, and pedestrian crossing improvements are allowable uses of RMRA funds. In addition to the previously 1 Streets and Highways Code – SHC Division 3. Apportionment And Expenditure Of Highway Funds Chapter 2. Road Maintenance And Rehabilitation Program Section 2030(A)

Continuing projects with FY 2022 RMRA funding to be expended in FY 2023 include:
Pavement maintenance or rehabilitation as part of the FY 2022 Street Rehabilitation project (PWENST2201). Selected segments include Browning Street from Addison Street to Dwight Way (reconstruct; 20-year useful life), Colusa Avenue from North City Limit to Solano Avenue (overlay; 10-year useful life), Delaware Street from Acton Street to Sacramento Street (overlay; 10-year useful life), Ellsworth Street from Stuart Street to Ashby Avenue (surface seal; 10-year useful life), Fulton Street from Dwight Way to Stuart Street (overlay; 10-year useful life), Heinz Avenue from Seventh Street to Ninth Street (surface seal; 10-year useful life), Heinz Avenue from Ninth Street to San Pablo Avenue (reconstruct; 20-year useful life), Ninth Street from Heinz Avenue to Berkeley Bowl Parking Lot (surface seal; 10-year useful life), Stuart Street from Fulton Street to Ellsworth Street (surface seal; 10-year useful life) and Stuart Street from Benvenue Avenue to College Avenue (overlay; 10-year useful life), Sunset Lane from Grizzly Peak Boulevard to Wildcat Canyon Road (reconstruct’ 20-year useful life).
Utilization of the RMRA funding will support the City’s Strategic Plan goal of creating a resilient, safe, connected, and prepared city and providing state-of-the-art, well maintained infrastructure, amenities, and facilities.
ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY AND CLIMATE IMPACTS
RMRA funds will benefit all modes of transportation by improving road surfaces for bicyclists and transit riders as well as for auto riders, which could result in lessening greenhouse gas emissions.

RATIONALE FOR RECOMMENDATION
A project list is required to be adopted by City Council in order for the City to receive RMRA disbursements from the State Controller's office. Staff proposes use of RMRA funds for maintenance or rehabilitation of local streets as part of the FY 2023 Street Rehabilitation (PWENST2301). It should be noted that the provided project list is a plan; in the end-of-year reporting on actual spending of RMRA funds, the CTC allows for the completion of projects not included in this list as long as they meet the requirements for RMRA funding.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS CONSIDERED
No reasonable alternative exists as the City’s pavement condition is currently in the low end of the fair index category and is projected to decline, and is in need of continued maintenance and rehabilitation.

CONSENT CALENDAR
May 31, 2022
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Dee Williams-Ridley, City Manager
Submitted by: Liam Garland, Director, Department of Public Works Subject: Berkeley Strategic Transportation Plan Update and Grant Application Opportunities
RECOMMENDATION
1. Adopt two Resolutions authorizing the City Manager to submit grant applications to the California Active Transportation Program, accept the grants awarded, and execute any resultant agreements and amendments.
2. Adopt a Resolution:
a. Approving the Berkeley Strategic Transportation Plan Third Addendum. b. Authorizing the City Manager to submit unfunded Five-Year Priority Projects from the Berkeley Strategic Transportation Plan Third Addendum to the Alameda County Transportation Commission for funding through the County’s Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 – FY 2028 Comprehensive Investment Plan. c. Authorizing the City Manager to execute agreements as needed for accepting the awarded grant funds.
SUMMARY
The Berkeley Strategic Transportation (BeST) Plan was approved by City Council in 2016 in order to establish a framework for prioritizing the funding and completion of transportation projects throughout the City over the following thirty years. The BeST Plan includes an investment strategy to guide how the City spends transportation dollars from local, regional, State, and federal sources. Projects included in the BeST Plan are pooled from the City’s already-adopted plans. Addenda to the BeST Plan were approved by City Council in September 2018 and January 2021 in order to report on progress in funding and completing the projects on the Five-Year Priority Project list from the BeST Plan. Following the April 26 special meeting of the City Council on this topic, Public Works is proposing another BeST Plan addendum in order to update the Five-Year Priority Project list and identify transportation capital grant applications to submit in June 2022 to compete for funding through the State Active Transportation Program (ATP) and Alameda County Transportation Commission (Alameda CTC) Fiscal Year 2024 Comprehensive Investment Plan (FY24 CIP).
Berkeley Strategic Transportation Plan Update and Grant Application Opportunities CONSENT CALENDAR May 31, 2022
FISCAL IMPACTS OF RECOMMENDATION
If awarded, the ATP and Alameda CTC FY24 CIP grants would bring a total of up to $4.5 million of competitive grant revenue to the State Capital Grants Fund (Fund 306) and up to $1.5 million of competitive grant revenue to the Local Capital Grants Fund (Fund 307), respectively, for high-priority transportation projects, starting in FY 2024.
ATP Cycle 6 Grant Funding Requests (No Matching Funds)
Washington Elementary and Berkeley High up to $2,000,000 Safe Routes to School
Addison Street Bicycle Boulevard Extension up to $5,000,000 Total ATP Grant Funding Request up to $7,000,000
The total estimated cost of the ATP projects is up to $4.5 million. No local matching funds are required or proposed.
Alameda CTC FY24 CIP Grant Funding Requests and Matching Funds Bicycle Boulevard Crossings up to $ 525,000
Adeline Corridor Project at Ashby BART Station up to $ 525,000 Total Alameda CTC Grant Funding Request up to $1,050,000 City Matching Funds Available $ 350,000
The total estimated cost of the projects is up to $8.4 million. As a share of the total project cost, capital projects have a required local match of 25% under the Alameda CTC CIP Program. Funding for the required $350,000 local match is available from the Alameda County Measure BB Bicycle and Pedestrian Program Fund (Fund 135) and the Measure BB Local Streets and Roads Fund (Fund 134).
CURRENT SITUATION AND ITS EFFECTS
In the five years since the BeST Plan1 was adopted, the City has made substantial progress in acquiring funding for the Five-Year Priority Projects. Exhibit A, Figure 1 shows that, of the twelve individually listed projects from the BeST Plan Five-Year Priority list, eight have been fully funded, with five of these completed, one under construction, and two others in the preliminary engineering phase. In addition, Exhibit A, Table 1 shows that several projects grouped as High-Priority Pedestrian Plan, Bicycle Plan, and Safe Routes to School projects have been completed or at least funded.
These include the completion of the Sacramento Street Complete Streets project, safety treatments at bike boulevard crossings, and four Safe Routes to School projects.
Upcoming Transportation Grant Funding Opportunities
For potentially funding the remaining BeST Plan priority projects, upcoming transportation capital grant funding opportunities include the State Active Transportation Program (ATP) Cycle 6, the Alameda County Transportation Commission (Alameda 1 https://berkeleyca.gov/your-government/our-work/adopted-plans/berkeley-strategic-transportation-best- plan/
Berkeley Strategic Transportation Plan Update and Grant Application Opportunities CONSENT CALENDAR May 31, 2022
CTC) Fiscal Year 2024 Comprehensive Investment Plan (FY24 CIP), and the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) One Bay Area Grant Cycle 3 (OBAG 3) federal funding program. Applications under all of these programs are due in June 2022.
Remaining Unfunded BeST Plan Five-Year Priority Projects The remaining unfunded stand-alone projects from the BeST Plan Five-Year Priority Projects list are not anticipated to be competitive for these upcoming capital grant funding opportunities. These projects are: Gilman Grade Separation, Center Street Plaza, Downtown Transit Center, and Signal Interconnect project. All of the above listed programs prioritize pedestrian and bicycle safety and access projects, transit corridor projects, and linkages to transit-oriented development. The Gilman Grade Separation is estimated to cost $66 million, an amount that is too high to be competitive under the above-described programs. The Center Street Plaza project is estimated to cost $20 million, an amount that is too high to be competitive without additional funding from other sources such as future Downtown Streets and Open Space Improvement Program fees. The Downtown Transit Center project is not ready to submit given that no conceptual plan has yet been developed because it has not been as high a priority for AC Transit as transit corridor improvements prioritized through the AC Transit Major Corridors Study2 (2016). The Transit Signal Priority portion of the Signal Interconnect project could be competitive for grant funding, but this is a small part of the project cost compared to the Signal Interconnect, and AC Transit has already acquired funding for the highest priority transit signal priority upgrades on Telegraph and San Pablo Avenues.
Adeline Corridor Specific Plan Projects
With the list of BeST Plan Five-Year Priority projects dwindling, it is timely for the City to consider adding new projects to this list. A major City plan that has been adopted since the BeST Plan approval is the Adeline Corridor Specific Plan3 (December 2020). One project from this plan has already received grant funding through the Alameda CTC Fiscal Year 2022 (FY22) CIP for preliminary engineering: the Adeline Corridor Project covering the segment of Adeline between Martin Luther King Jr. Way (MLK) and the Oakland border. This project grant application was approved by Council as part of the BeST Plan Second Addendum under the Five-Year Priority Project category of High- Priority Pedestrian Plan projects. The City is in the procurement process to hire a consultant for this phase of the project.
In order to implement the Adeline Corridor Specific Plan more broadly, the proposed BeST Plan Addendum includes an Adeline project bundle on the Five-Year Priority Project list. This project bundle incorporates recommendations from the Adeline Corridor Specific Plan, including the recommendation to identify a potential future site on Adeline Street for the Berkeley Flea Market. Consistent with this latter recommendation, the ongoing Adeline Reconfiguration Study is evaluating whether 2 http://www.actransit.org/major-corridors-study/
3 https://berkeleyca.gov/your-government/our-work/adopted-plans/adeline-corridor-specific-plan
Berkeley Strategic Transportation Plan Update and Grant Application Opportunities CONSENT CALENDAR May 31, 2022
Adeline could be used to provide a plaza useable by the Flea Market within the existing street right of way, as the Ashby BART station west parking lot currently used by the Flea Market on weekends is anticipated to be developed into affordable housing. This study, funded by a grant received by BART, was initiated in response to a City Council Referral (February 11, 2020) calling for an analysis of a potential reduction of Adeline north of MLK to two lanes in order “to increase safety for pedestrians, cyclists, and people living with disabilities, while also meeting the needs of public transit and emergency vehicles”. The reduction in the number of general purpose traffic lanes on Adeline adjacent to the Ashby BART station could provide public space useable by the Berkeley Flea Market. BART has developed several scenarios to explore how a plaza to accommodate the Flea Market on the west side of Adeline might be configured, which are being revised in response to feedback from the Flea Market Board.
Proposed Grant Applications
Staff is requesting approval from Council to submit the following projects to compete for transportation capital grant funding. Applications under all of these funding programs are due in June 2022.
ATP Cycle 6 Program
o Washington Elementary and Berkeley High Safe Routes to School o Addison Street Bicycle Boulevard Extension
Resubmit under ATP Cycle 6 these applications previously submitted for the ATP Cycle 5 Program, which both just missed the funding cutoff in Cycle 5. The applications would incorporate improvements based on feedback received from California Transportation Commission staff. The projects fit under the existing BeST Plan Five-Year Priority categories of Safe Routes to School and High- Priority Bicycle Plan Projects.
Alameda CTC FY24 CIP (Alameda County discretionary funds) o Bicycle Boulevard Crossings
This application would fund preliminary engineering for safety treatments at the remaining unfunded bicycle boulevard crossings from the Bicycle Plan. This fits under the existing BeST Plan Five-Year Priority category of High-Priority Bicycle Plan Projects.
o Adeline Corridor Project at Ashby BART Station
This application would fund preliminary engineering for a project to provide safety improvements on Adeline Street adjacent to the Ashby BART station (between MLK and Ashby Avenue) while improving transit operations and providing public space that could potentially be used by the Ashby Flea Market. The project would be consistent with the results of the Adeline Roadway Reconfiguration Study that is to be completed over the next year.
No OBAG Application
OBAG is intended to fund major projects that are ready to undergo detailed design and construction. Staff proposes not to apply for OBAG funding, primarily because the City
Berkeley Strategic Transportation Plan Update and Grant Application Opportunities CONSENT CALENDAR May 31, 2022
is delivering its already funded OBAG Cycle 2 Southside Complete Streets project, and there is not another major project that has completed preliminary engineering and would be competitive under this program in this grant cycle.
BACKGROUND
Given the large number of projects in the BeST Plan, they are organized into 25 bundles by location or type of work, with projected expenditures divided into 5-year, 10- year, and 30-year periods. Each of the 25 project bundles has been evaluated according to a set of prioritization and screening criteria which support the goals distilled from Berkeley’s adopted plans and policies. The plans used as sources include the Downtown Area Plan, Downtown Streets and Open Space Improvement Plan, Southside Plan, West Berkeley Circulation Study, Bicycle Plan, and Pedestrian Plan.
ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY AND CLIMATE IMPACTS
The projects being considered for prioritization in the BeST Plan would increase the number of Berkeley residents and visitors who walk, bike, and take mass transit, which would decrease vehicle miles traveled and greenhouse gas emissions. This would help the City achieve the Berkeley Climate Action Plan greenhouse gas emission reduction target of 80% below the year 2000 level by 2050. The Climate Action Plan states that, in order to meet these targets, “Transportation modes such as public transit, walking and bicycling must become the primary means of fulfilling our mobility needs.”
RATIONALE FOR RECOMMENDATION
Capital grant funding will allow the City to address critical local and regional transportation infrastructure gaps for all modes of travel. Priority projects were identified using criteria drawn directly from adopted City plans and reports which have undergone extensive public review prior to Council adoption.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS CONSIDERED
The City could choose not to approve the BeST Plan Addendum and could also choose to forgo the opportunity to seek grant funding from the State and Alameda CTC for projects among the remaining unfunded Five-Year Priority Projects identified in the BeST Plan.

To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Dee Williams-Ridley, City Manager
Submitted by: Liam Garland, Director, Department of Public Works Subject: Declaration of Intent – Fiscal Year 2023 Street Lighting Assessments
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt two Resolutions granting the City Manager the authority to approve the Engineer’s Reports; set a public hearing to be held before the Council of the City of Berkeley at its June 28, 2022 meeting; and authorize the City Clerk to publish a Notice of the Public Hearing for Fiscal Year 2023 Levy of Assessments for Berkeley Street Lighting Assessment District No. 1982-1 and Street Lighting Assessment District 2018.
FISCAL IMPACTS OF RECOMMENDATION
Resolutions would conditionally approve, pending public hearing and final City Council authorization thereafter, the continued levying of assessments in Fiscal Year (FY) 2023 for Berkeley Street Lighting Assessment District No. 1982-1 and Street Lighting Assessment District 2018, collectively referred to herein as the Districts.
The assessments are to be filed with the Alameda County Auditor and included on the County’s assessment roll. After collection by the County the total amount of the assessment minus a county collection fee is paid to the City of Berkeley. The revenue is posted in the Street Light Assessment District Fund (Fund 142).
A summary of projected FY 2023 revenue, expenditures, and fund balances for the assessment districts is shown in Table 1.

2 Projected Net Revenue $ 2,088,205
Deficit $ (885,919)
Estimated End Balance (Fund 142) $ 1,055,108
Allowable annual adjustments of the 2018 District assessment rates are expected to raise revenues over the coming years.
CURRENT SITUATION AND ITS EFFECTS
The proposed FY 2023 rates for Assessment District 1982-1 (1982 District) are incorporated into the Engineer’s Report (Attachment 3) and reflect no changes to assessment rates in FY 2023. Accordingly, this action is exempt from the notice, protest, and hearing requirements of State Proposition 218 as set forth in Government Code Section 53753.5 (Article XIII D, Sec. 5). Any increase or change in formula for the assessments would make the annual assessment subject to procedures and approval process of Proposition 218 (Government Code Section 53750-53754). Table 2 details prior year and proposed FY 2023 assessment rates for this district.

The assessment for Street Lighting Assessment District 2018 (2018 District) is subject to an annual adjustment tied to the Consumer Price Index-U for the San Francisco Bay Area as of December of each succeeding year (the “CPI”), with a maximum annual adjustment not to exceed 3%. For the period beginning in December 2020 and ending in December 2021, the CPI increased by 4.24%2; therefore the assessment CPI adjustment for Fiscal Year 2023 may not exceed the prescribed maximum of 3.00%. As approved by voters, the total annual adjustment may be calculated by taking the sum of the 1982-1 District assessment and the 2018 District assessment, and multiplying the sum by the allowable CPI increase. Calculating the adjustment in this manner allows for the inclusion of a 1982-1 District adjustment as part of the 2018 District adjustment. The cumulative total adjustment results in a 2018 District assessment rate increase of approximately 8.6%.

Declaration of Intent - FY 2023 Street Lighting Assessment Districts CONSENT CALENDAR May 31, 2022
4 BACKGROUND
The Berkeley Street Lighting Assessment District No. 1982-1 was established under the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 (Streets and Highway Code Section 22620- 22631) on July 27, 1982 (Resolution No. 51,449-N.S.) 3. The Street Lighting Assessment District 2018 was established under the same Act on June 12, 2018 (Resolution No. 68,482-N.S.). The Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 requires City Council to hold a public hearing each year to consider adoption of an annual budget and approve changes to the Engineer’s Report, even if assessments are not being increased.
In accordance with the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, the City Council sets a date for a public hearing, and authorizes publication of a notice at least ten days prior to the date of that hearing to allow owners of assessed properties within each district to make an oral or written protest against the annual levy. During the course of, or upon conclusion of the public hearing, City Council may order changes in any of the matters provided in the respective Engineer’s Report, including changes in improvements; zones within the assessment district; and the proposed district diagram, or the proposed assessment, as long as any proposed changes are less than the proposed annual levy.
Copies of the Engineer’s Reports with FY 2023 assessments are to be filed with the City Clerk and at the reference desk of the main branch of the Berkeley Public Library.
Electronic copies of the reports and finalized assessment rolls will also be available to the public upon request.
ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY AND CLIMATE IMPACTS
The City exclusively uses LED (light emitting diode) street lighting. LED lights provide environmental benefits by reducing the level of greenhouse gases emitted; reducing level of toxic materials disposed; maximization of energy and energy cost savings; achieving the City’s illumination standards; and minimizing administration costs and staff time for street light maintenance.
RATIONALE FOR RECOMMENDATION
The Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, under which the Districts were formed, requires a public hearing to be held each year during the course of a regular City Council Meeting to consider adoption of an annual budget and changes to the Engineer’s Report. Failing to meet these requirements would prevent the City from collecting assessments for the Districts in FY 2023.
3 State of California legislation (Streets & Highways §22500) allows local governmental agencies to form Landscape & Lighting Maintenance Districts. A 1972 Act Landscaping and Lighting District is a flexible tool used by local government agencies to pay for landscaping, lighting and other improvements and services in public areas. It is based on the concept of assessing only those properties that benefit from improvements financed, either directly, or indirectly through increased property values. http://www.californiataxdata.com/pdf/1972LLact.pdf

STREET LIGHTING ASSESSMENT DISTRICT No. 1982-1 ATTACHMENT 3
3 BACKGROUND
By its Resolution 51,230 N.S., adopted April 6, 1982, the Berkeley City Council initiated proceedings under the provisions of Division 15, Part 2, of the California Streets and Highways Code, entitled “Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972”. The required public hearing was held on July 20, 1982, at which time the Council ordered the improvements and the formation of the assessment district, and confirmed the diagram and assessment. The district so formed was designated the “City of Berkeley Street Lighting Assessment District 1982 -1”. Assessments have been levied for the 1983 through 2022 fiscal years.
This report was prepared and filed pursuant to Division 15, Part 2, of the California Streets and Highway Code Section 2250, and is exempt from Government Code Section 53753 since the proposed assessment for FY 2023 will not be increased.
PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS
The plans and specifications for this assessment district were prepared and filed with the Engineer’s Report for the 1983 fiscal year, which plans and specifications are incorporated herein by this reference thereto.
METHODOLOGY
The benefit to individual parcels within the Assessment District was established in 1982 based on the median light intensity a parcel receives. Parcel’s Land Use Code (LUC) is used to categorize the parcels. The assessment is calculated by multiplying the building square footage on the parcel times the rate of its category. The rate structure has three categories: 1) Residential and Institutional, 2) Industrial, 3) Commercial. An industrial area has twice the median light intensity of a residential area and a commercial area has four times the median light intensity; therefore, the rates are two and four times higher, respectively, than the residential rate. The rates are:
Residential and Institutional $0.0108/Building Square Footage Industrial and Utility $0.0216/Building Square Footage
Commercial $0.0432/Building Square Footage
ESTIMATE OF COSTS
The improvements to be made in this assessment district are generally described as the maintenance or servicing of existing and future public lighting facilities, including, but not limited to street lights, traffic signals, and related electrical facilities ; and the installation and construction of public lighting including grading, clearing, removal of debris, installation and construction of curbs, gutters, walls, sidewalk s, paving, irrigation, and drainage as needed for the installation of public lighting or related electrical facilities.

Introduction
Overview
The City of Berkeley (“City”) provides maintenance and servicing of certain publicly- owned street lights throughout the City. In order to fund the installation, maintenance and operation (the “Services”) of these improvements (“Improvements”), the City formed a city-wide street light assessment district in 1982. The rates for the 1982 assessment district have never been increased. Revenues from these assessments are placed into the streetlight fund (Fund 470).
In time, the financial outlook of the Streetlight fund began to cause concern as the costs increased for energy, labor and materials, while the revenue remained relatively static.
Accordingly, the Streetlight fund no longer had enough funds to fund the Street light program. As a result, beginning in Fiscal Year 20061 the Streetlight fund began to receive a subsidy from the City’s General Fund in order to balance revenues with expenditures.
However, because of other demands on the General Fund, that subsidy ended beginning Fiscal Year 2018. The modest fund balance was sufficient for Fiscal Year 2018 to cover that year’s anticipated expenses, but under current conditions it was expected to be depleted during Fiscal Year 2019. To establish financial sustainability for the Streetlight fund and avoid significant reductions in service levels, in 2018 the City conducted a funding measure to increase the assessment revenue for street light services.
With the passage of Proposition 218 in 1996, any increase in assessments must be approved by the affected property owners through a specified ballot proceeding. In addition, Proposition 218 and related subsequent court decisions create strict criteria for how assessments can be apportioned to the various properties, and the existing 1982 assessment structure may not be adequately consistent with these newer criteria.
While the 1982 assessment structure may continue as a “grandfathered” assessment, any increase must be implemented in accordance with Proposition 218 and court decisions. For this reason, a new district, Street Lighting Assessment District 2018 (“District”), was formed separately, leaving the 1982 assessment structure in place, as is.
The District will was formed and the levies are made pursuant to Part 2 of Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code, commonly known as the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972 (“Act”), and Article XIIID of the California Constitution (“Article”).
1 Fiscal years are referenced in this Report by the year that fiscal period ends. For example, Fiscal Year 2006 would cover the period from July 1, 2005 through June 30, 2006.

Assessment Formation Process
This Engineer’s Report (“Report”) describes the Street Lighting Assessment District 2018 (“District”), along with the boundaries, a description of the facilities and public improvements to be improved , serviced and maintained by the assessments (the "Improvements”), and the proposed assessments for Fiscal Year 2023 (“Assessments”).
At its meeting on April 3, 2018, the City Council passed a resolution directing that a notice of assessment and assessment ballot be mailed to property owners within the District whose property receives special benefit from the Improvements. The notice included a description of the Improvements to be funded by the Assessments, the proposed assessment amount for each parcel owned, and a n explanation of the method of completing and submitting the ballot. Ballots were mailed on or about April 11, 2018.
On May 29, 2018 , a public hearing was be held for the purpose of allowing public testimony regarding the proposed Assessments. At the Public Hearing, the public had the opportunity to speak on the issue, voice any concerns or protests, and obtain further information about the proposed Assessments.
The returned ballots were then tabulated, and the ballot results were announced at the City Council meeting on June 12, 2018 . It was determined that the assessment ballots submitted in opposition to the proposed Assessments d id not exceed the assessment ballots submitted in favor of the Assessments (each ballot was weighted by the proportional financial obligation of the property for which the ballot was submitted), so the Council was able to take action to approve the levying of Assessments for Fiscal Year 2019. The Assessments were so confirmed and approved, and the Assessment information was submitted to the County Auditor/Controller. The County Auditor/Controller included the Assessments on the property tax roll beginning in Fiscal Year 2019. Assessments may now be continued by the City Council from year to year.
Legal Requirements
Proposition 218
This Assessment District was formed consistent with Proposition 218, The Right to Vote on Taxes Act, which was approved by the voters of California on November 6, 1996 and is now codified as Articles XIIIC and XIIID of the California Constitution. Proposition 218 provides for benefit assessments to be levied to fund the cost of providing services, improvements, as well as maintenance and operation expenses to a public improvement which benefits the assessed property.
City of Berkeley
Street Lighting Assessment District 2018
FY 2023
Proposition 218 describes a number o f important requirements, including property - owner balloting for the imposition, increase and extension of assessments, and these requirements are satisfied by the process used to establish this Assessment District.
Silicon V alley Taxpayers Association, Inc. v. Santa Clara County Open Space Authority
In July 2008, the California Supreme Court decided Silicon Valley Taxpayers Association, Inc. v. Santa Clara County Open Space Authority (“SVTA”), the most significant court case clarifying the substantive assessment requirements of Proposition 218. Several of the most important elements of the decision included further emphasis that:
▪ Benefit assessments are for special benefits to property, not general benefits. ▪ The services and/or improvements funded by assessments must be clearly defined.
▪ Assessment districts must be drawn to contain all parcels that receive a special benefit from a proposed public improvement.
▪ Assessments paid in each assessment district must be proportional to the special benefit received by each such parcel from the improvements and services funded by the assessment.
This Engineer’s Report and the process used to establish the Assessments are consistent with the SVTA decision and with the requir ements of Article XIIIC and XIIID of the California Constitution based on the following factors:
1. The District is narrowly drawn to include only the properties that receive special benefit from the specific Improvements. Thus, zones of benefit are not required, and the assessment revenue derived from real property in the District is extended only on the Improvements in the District.
City of Berkeley
Street Lighting Assessment District 2018
FY 2023
2. The Improvements which will be constructed and maintained with Assessment proceeds in the District are located in close proximity to the real property subject to the Assessment. The Improvements provide illumination to street s and sidewalks enabling improved access to the residents of such assessed property.
The proximity of the Improvements to the assessed parcels and the improved access and increased safety provided to the residents of the assessed parcels by the Improvements provides a special benefit to the parcel being assessed pursuant to the factors outlined by the Supreme Court in that decision.
3. Due to their proximity to the assessed parcels, the Improvements financed with Assessment revenues in the District benefit the properties in that District in a manner different in kind from the benefit that other parcels of real property in the area derive from such Improvements, and the benefits conferred on such property in the District are more extensive than a general increase in property values.
4. The assessments paid in the District are proportional to the special benefit that each parcel within the District receives from the Improvements because:
a) The costs of the specific lighting Improvements and maintenance and utility costs in the District are specified in this Report; and
b) Such Improvement and maintenance costs in the District are allocated among different types of property located within the District and equally among those properties which have similar characteristics, such as single- family residential parcels, multi-family residential parcels, commercial parcels, industrial parcels, etc.
Dahms v. D owntown Pomona Property
On June 8, 2009, the Court of Appeal amended its original opinion upholding a benefit assessment for property in the downtown area of the City of Pomon a in Dahms v.
Downtown Pomona Property (“Dahms”). On July 22, 2009, the California Supreme Court denied review. In Dahms the Court upheld an assessment that was 100% special benefit (i.e. 0% general benefit) on the rationale that the services and improveme nts funded by the assessments were directly provided to property in the assessment district. The Court also upheld discounts and exemptions from the assessment for certain properties.

Bonander v. Town of Tiburon
On December 31, 2009, in Bonander v. Town of Tiburon (“Bonander”), the Court of Appeal overturned a benefit assessment approved by property owners to pay for placing overhead utility lines underground in an area of the Town of Tiburon. The Court invalidated the assessments primarily on the grounds that the assessments had been apportioned to assessed property based in part on relative costs within sub -areas of the assessment district instead of the overall cost of the improvements and the overall proportional special benefits.
Beutz v. County of Ri verside
On May 26, 2010 the Court of Appeals issued a decision in Steven Beutz v. County of Riverside (“ Beutz”). This decision overturned an assessment for park maintenance in Wildomar, California, primarily because the general benefits associated with improvements and services was not explicitly calculated, quantified and separa ted from the special benefits.
Golden Hill Neighborhood Association v. City of San Diego On September 22, 2011, the Court of Appeal issued a decision in Golden Hill Neighborhood As sociation v. City of San Diego appeal. This decision overturned an assessment for street and landscaping maintenance in the Greater Golden Hill neighborhood of San Diego, California. The Court described two primary reasons for its decision. First, like in Beutz, the Court found the general benefits associated with services were not explicitly calculated, quantified and separated from the special benefits. Second, the Court found that the City failed to record the basis for the assessment on its own parcels.
Compliance with Current Law
This Engineer’s Report is consistent with the requirements of Article s XIIIC and XIIID of the California Constitution and with the SVTA decision because the Improvements to be funded are clearly defined; the Improvements are directly available to and will directly benefit property in the District; and the Improvements provide a direct advantage to property in the District that would not be received in absence of the Assessments.

Plans and Specifications
The work and Improvements to be undertaken by the City and the cost paid from the levy of the annual assessment provide special benefit to assessor parcels within the District defined in the Method of Assessment herein. Consistent with the Act, the Improvements are generally described as follows:
The installation, maintenance, and servicing of local street light s in close proximity to certain lots and parcels which provide a direct special benefit to such lots or parcels.
The installation, maintenance, and servicing of peripheral street light structures which provide a special benefit to all the assessable parcels within the District whether or not such parcels are in close proximity to such lighting.
The installation or constructi on of public lighting facilities, or t he acquisition of any new improvements.
Plans and Specifications for the Improvements for the District are voluminous and are not bound in this Report but by this reference are incorporated and made a part of this Report. The Plans and Specifications are on file in the office of the Public Works Director where they are available for public inspection.
Article XIII D of the California Constitution defines "maintenance and servicing expenses" as, "the cost of rent, repair, replacement, rehabilitation, fuel, power, electrical current, care and supervision necessary to properly operate and maintain a pe rmanent public improvement". The Improvement funding includes, but is not limited to, the removal, repair, replacement or relocation of light standards, poles, bulbs, fixtures and appurtenances, electrical energy, supplies, engineering and incidental costs relating to the maintenance and servicing of the local lighting improvements benefiting t he parcels within the District.
The Improvements to be maintained and serviced within the District are to be part of the local street light system of the City of Berkeley that confers special benefit to the District's parcels. The specific location of local street light Improvements within the City can be found in the Streetlight Condition Assessment by Tanko Lighting, which is on file in the office of the Director of Public Works, where it is available for public inspection.

Notes on the Budget:
1. The Act requires that proceeds from the Assessments must be deposited into a special fund that has been set up for the revenues and expenditures of the District. Moreover, funds raised by the Assessment shall be used only for the purposes stated within this Report. Any balance remaining at the end of the Fiscal Year, June 30, must be carried over to the next Fiscal Year. The City may also establish a reserve fund for contingencies and special projects, as well as a capital improvement fund for accumulating funds for larger capital improvement projects or capital renovation needs. Any remaining balance would either be placed in the reserve fund, the capital improvement fund, or would be used to reduce future years' assessments.
2. The rate shown here is for a Single-Family Equivalent (“SFE”), which is a single-family home or its equivalent. For the definition of the term SFE and rates for other types of property, see the section titled, “Method of Assessment” and the sections following it in this report.

Method of Assessment
This section of the Engineer’s Report includes an explanation of the benefits derived from the installation, maintenance and servicing of the Improvements throughout the District and the Assessment methodology used to apportion the total Assessment to properties within the District.
The District consist s of all assessor parcels within the boundaries as defined by the Assessment Diagram and the parcels identified by the Assessor Parcel Numbers listed with the levy roll included with this Report. The parcel list includes all assessable privately and publicly owned parcels within the boundaries. The method used for apportioning the Assessment is based on the proportional special benefits to be derived by the properties in the District over and above general benefits conferred on real property or to the public at large. The apportionment of special benefit is a two-step process: the first step is to identify the types of special benefit arising from the Improvements and the second step is to allocate the Assessments to property based on the estimated relative special benefit for each type of property.
Discussion of Benefit
In summary, the Assessments can only be levied based on the special benefit to property.
This benefit is received by property over and above any general benefits. Moreover, such benefit is not based on any one property owner’s use of the Improvements or a property owner’s specific demographic status. With reference to the requirements for Assessments, Section 22573 of the Act states:
The net amount to be assessed u pon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements.
Proposition 218, as codified in Article XIIID of the California Constitution, has confirmed that Assessments must be based on the special benefit to property:
No assessment shall be imposed on any parcel which exceeds the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel.

Special Benefit
Street lighting is an optional improvement, not required by state or federal law, that is an enhancement over and above requisite infrastructure, and thus is a special benefit. The majority of the benefits of the street lights are received by the benefited property, with a small portion of the benefits received by the general public on major streets only. This portion received by the general public is captured and quantified in the following section.
The factors that determine special benefit conferred on parcels are detailed below:
Improved V isibility and Safety
Well maintained, effective street lighting provides special benefit to proximate parcels, within range of the light, because it allows for safer and improved use of the prope rty in the evenings, early morning, and at night. Street lighting provides special benefit because it increases neighborhood safety and, at least indirectly, reduces the likelihood of crime on the proximate parcels . Over time, the Improvements continue to confer a particular and distinct special benefit upon parcels within the District because of the nature of the Improvements. The proper maintenance of the street lights and appurtenant facilities increases visibility and local human presence and , in many situations, helps reduce property-related crimes, especially vandalism, against assessed properties in the District.
Improved Access , Navigation and Traffic Safety
Well maintained, effective street lighting enhances ingress, egress and accessibility of all forms to the assessed parcels in the evening, early morning, and at night by increasing visibility. Improved visibility also helps prevent local automobile, bicycle, and pedestrian traffic accidents related to the assessed parcels. This benefit includes a reduction in accidents during non-daylight hours.
Improved Community Character and Vitality
Well maintained, effective street lighting promotes evening and nighttime social interaction of residents and customers of businesses and industry. This creates a positive atmosphere and enhanced community image in the evening and at night for the assessed parcels.
All of the above -mentioned items also contribute to a specific enhancement to each of the parcels within the District. The proximate street lights make each parcel safer, more visible, more accessible, more useful, more valuable and more desirable; and this further strengthens the basis of these Assessments.

General Versus Special Benefit
The proceeds from the Assessments are used to fund the described Improvements and increased levels of maintenance to the other City facilities that serve and benefit the properties in the District. In absence of the Street Lighting Assessment District 2018, such Improvements would not be properly maintained. Therefore, the District’s purpose is to ensure that the necessary and beneficial public facilities for property in the District are properly maintained, operated and repaired over time. The Assessments will ensure that street lighting and associated improvements with in and adjacent to the District are functional, well maintained and effective. These public resources directly benefit the property in the District and will confer distinct and special benefits to the p roperties within the District.
The Improvements and Services are specifically designed, located and created to provide additional and improved resources for property inside the District and not the public at large although the Improvements maintained by the Services may be available to the general public . Oth er properties that are outside the District do not enjoy the unique proximity and other special benefit factors described previously. These Improvements and Services are of special benefit to properties located within the District because they provide a direct advantage to properties in the District that would not be provided in the absence of the Assessments. Any general benefits to surrounding properties outside of the Assessment District, if any, are collateral and conferred concomitantly.
Quantificatio n of General Benefit
Although the analysis used to support these assessments concludes that the benefits are solely special, as described above, consideration is made for the suggestion that a portion of the benefits are general. General benefits cannot be funded by these assessments. The funding for general benefits must come from other sources.
The maintenance and servicing of these Improvements is also partially funded, directly and indirectly, from other sources , including the City of Berkeley, Alameda County, and the State of California. This funding comes in the form of grants, development fees, special programs, and general funds, as well as direct maintenance and servicing of facilities (e.g. curbs, gutters, streets, drainage systems, etc.). This fu nding from other sources more than compensates for general benefits, if any, received by the properties within the Assessment District.
