CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. E.5
08/25/2026
SUBJECT: Initiation of Formation Proceedings, Approval of the Engineer’s Report, and Declaration of Intent to Form Landscape & Lighting Assessment District No. 26-1 (Citywide and Local Maintenance Services)
DEPARTMENT: Parks and Recreation
STAFF: E. Harith Aleem, Director of Parks and Recreation Aaron Wanden, Park Maintenance Manager

TITLE/RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a two resolutions: (1) initiating proceedings for the formation of Landscape & Lighting Assessment District No. 26-1 (Citywide and Local Maintenance Services), designating the engineer for the proceedings, and ordering the preparation and filing of an Engineer’s Report; and (2) approving the Engineer’s Report, declaring the City Council’s intention to order the formation of the District and to levy and collect assessments, and setting the date of October 13, 2026, at 7:00 p.m. or as soon thereafter as the matter may be heard, as the date and time for a public hearing pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, Article XIII D of the California Constitution, and the Proposition 218 Omnibus Implementation Act.

FISCAL IMPACT
Upon build-out, the City will have authorization to collect the maximum annual assessment revenue of $9,854 (in FY 2026/27 dollars) from the non-residential parcels within Landscape & Lighting Assessment District No. 26-1 (Citywide and Local Maintenance Services). The maximum annual assessment revenues for Landscape & Lighting Assessment District No. 26-1 (Citywide and Local Maintenance Services) will be increased each fiscal year based upon the prior year’s change in the San Francisco Bay Area Urban Wage Earners Consumer Price Index and will fund the special benefit portion of the maintenance, operation, servicing, replacement, and administration expenses associated with City improvements benefiting the project. The annual costs for Landscape & Lighting Assessment District No. 26-1 (Citywide and Local Maintenance Services) that are attributed to benefit to the public at large is estimated to be $160 and will be funded by the General Fund.

Page 29 of 314 ends

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. E.5
08/25/2026
To ensure the Landscape & Lighting Assessment Districts are self-supporting, each district has an administrative cost factored into the maximum assessment rate during formation to cover creation of annual Engineer’s Reports and levying of assessments.

Funds to cover the costs associated with the formation of the Landscape & Lighting District have been deposited with the City by the developer.

BACKGROUND
The City previously formed Landscape & Lighting Assessment District No. 19-3 (Citywide and Local Maintenance Services) to provide a financing mechanism for new non-residential and multi-family development to offset the fiscal impacts these developments have on the operation and maintenance of public landscaping, parks, street lighting, and trails that provide a special benefit to properties within the applicable benefit areas.

The City is now proposing the formation of Landscape & Lighting Assessment District No. 26-1 (Citywide and Local Maintenance Services) initially encompassing the Alvernaz Commercial Shell Building and Fire Station 94 properties described below to annex future non-residential and multi-family development. The proposed district includes updated maximum assessment rates based on current maintenance costs and the special-benefit methodology set forth in the Engineer’s Report, including an assessment component that will provide funding for the City's master trail system.

The proposed formation of Landscape & Lighting Assessment District No. 26-1 (Citywide and Local Maintenance Services) is comprised of two projects, one of which consists of a 31,185 square foot commercial/industrial shell building known as Alvernaz Commercial Shell Building (APNs 010-150-049 and 010-150-050) located at 535 and 545 Harvest Park Drive. The second project is Fire Station 94, a two-story fire station located at 739 First Street (APNs 013-091-018 and 013-091-019). These properties are proposed to be included in the District to provide a funding mechanism for the annual operation, maintenance, and capital replacement of items such as public streetlights, landscaping, open space areas, trails, and parks which benefit the properties associated with each development.

The Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 requires the formation proceedings to occur in sequence. Under Streets and Highways Code section 22585, the City Council must first adopt a resolution initiating proceedings and ordering the engineer to prepare and file an Engineer’s Report. After the engineer completes and files the Engineer’s Report with the City Clerk, the City Council may approve the report pursuant to Streets and Highways Code section 22586 and then adopt a resolution of intention pursuant to Streets and Highways Code section 22587.

Page 30 of 314 ends

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. E.5
08/25/2026
The Engineer’s Report identifies public improvements to be maintained, as well as maximum annual assessment rates to be levied on properties benefiting from these improvements. The assessment rates may or may not change each fiscal year, dependent on the maintenance budget, but cannot exceed the maximum annual assessment amount set when the assessment district was originally formed, plus an annual cost of living adjustment.

The City Council will first consider the resolution initiating the formation proceedings and ordering preparation and filing of the Engineer’s Report. If that resolution is adopted, the Engineer’s Report will be completed and filed with the City Clerk.

After the Engineer’s Report has been filed, the City Council will consider the second resolution approving the Engineer’s Report, declaring its intention to order formation of the District and levy annual assessments beginning in Fiscal Year 2027/28, and setting the October 13, 2026 public hearing.

The Engineer’s Report establishes the Fiscal Year 2026/27 base-year maximum assessment rates for Landscape & Lighting Assessment District No. 26-1 (Citywide and Local Maintenance Services), provides for annual adjustment of those maximum rates, and identifies Fiscal Year 2027/28 as the first fiscal year in which assessments will be levied and collected. The district is comprised of the following seven (7) zones of benefit:
 Zone A (Arterial and Major Roadway Street Lighting)
 Zone B (Arterial and Major Roadway Landscaping)
 Zone C (City Parks)
 Zone D (Citywide Trails)
 Zone E (Local Street Lighting)
 Zone F-01 (Alvernaz Commercial Shell Building Local Landscaping)  Zone F-02 (Fire Station 94 Local Landscaping)
The Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, as supplemented by Proposition 218, also requires that the formation of any new assessment district be subject to a mailed assessment ballot proceeding for the record owners of the identified parcels proposed to be assessed, along with a noticed Public Hearing, prior to final formation of the District and levy of the assessments.

If the City Council adopts the attached resolutions, staff will initiate the noticing and balloting period, including mailing the required notices and ballots to the affected property owners.

Page 31 of 314 ends

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. E.5
08/25/2026
In order for the ballots to be counted, they must be returned to the City Clerk prior to the close of the public input portion of the Public Hearing, which will be held on October 13, 2026.

At the close of the public input portion of the Public Hearing, the City Clerk will tabulate the assessment ballots. If a majority protest is found, meaning that the weighted ballots opposed exceed those in favor, the proposed district may not be formed. If a majority protest is not found, the City Council may adopt a subsequent resolution ordering the improvements and formation of the District and confirming the assessment diagram and assessments for Landscape & Lighting Assessment District No. 26-1 (Citywide and Local Maintenance Services).

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Brentwood as follows:

1. The recitals above are true and correct and are incorporated into this Resolution.

2. Pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, the City Council initiates proceedings and proposes the formation of Landscape & Lighting Assessment District No. 26-1 (Citywide and Local Maintenance Services).

7. The City Council designates Francisco & Associates, with Eduardo R.

Espinoza, P.E. serving as the responsible professional engineer, as the “engineer” for purposes of the Act and these formation proceedings.

The Engineer’s Report shall include all matters required by the Act and Article XIII D of the California Constitution, including a description of the improvements, an estimate of costs, an assessment diagram, a benefit analysis, an assessment methodology, and the proposed maximum assessments upon the assessable lots and parcels within the District.

9. The City Council acknowledges that the engineer has performed preparatory work and prepared a proposed Engineer’s Report in anticipation of these proceedings.

12.The City Council finds that adoption of this Resolution and initiation of the proposed assessment proceedings are not a project subject to the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines section 15378(b)(4), because the action establishes a governmental funding mechanism and does not commit the City to any specific project that may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment.

Page 4 of 5 ends

the site of the public hearing before the conclusion of public testimony on the proposed assessment. A person who submits an assessment ballot may change or withdraw the ballot before the conclusion of public testimony.

If a majority protest does not exist, the City Council may adopt a subsequent resolution ordering the improvements and the formation of the District and confirming the assessment diagram and assessments, either as originally proposed or as changed by the City Council (Streets and Highways Code section 22594).

15. Information regarding any available methods of remote public participation will be stated in the published agenda for the October 13, 2026 City Council meeting. Participation by Zoom, telephone, email, or another remote method does not constitute the submission of an assessment ballot.

16. The City Council finds that adoption of this Resolution and establishment of the proposed assessment funding mechanism are not a project subject to the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines section 15378(b)(4), because the action establishes a governmental funding mechanism and does not commit the City to any specific project that may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment. This Resolution does not approve or authorize the acquisition, construction, or installation of any specific physical improvement.

17. The City Clerk, City Manager, City Engineer, and their respective designees are authorized and directed to take all actions necessary or appropriate to implement this Resolution and conduct the required notice, hearing, and assessment ballot proceedings.

INTRODUCTION
ENGINEER’S REPORT
LANDSCAPE & LIGHTING ASSESSMENT DISTRICT NO. 26-1
(CITYWIDE AND LOCAL MAINTENANCE SERVICES)
FISCAL YEAR 2027-28
To ensure the proper flow of funds for the ongoing operation, maintenance, servicing and replacement of specific improvements within the City of Brentwood (the “City”), the City Council, through the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, has previously approved the formation of seventy-one (71) Landscape & Lighting Assessment Districts (LLADs) and is currently proposing the formation of one (1) additional LLAD, which is the purpose of this Report. Improvements, which may be operated, maintained, serviced, and replaced by the LLADs, include, but are not limited to, landscaping, park, streetlighting, and trail improvements.

If the formation of LLAD 26-1 (the “District”) is approved, the District will consist of the following seven (7) zones of benefit:
• Zone A (Arterial and Major Roadway Street Lighting)
• Zone B (Arterial and Major Roadway Landscaping)
• Zone C (City Parks)
• Zone D (Citywide Trails)
• Zone E (Local Street Lighting)
• Zone F-01 (Alvernaz Commercial Shell Building Local Landscaping) • Zone F-02 (Fire Station 94 Local Landscaping)
As generally defined by the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, improvements, which may be acquired, constructed, operated, or which are appurtenant to any of the foregoing or which are necessary or convenient to be maintained and serviced by the LLADs, generally include, but are not limited to:
• The installation or planting of landscaping;
• The installation or construction of statuary, fountains, and other ornamental structures and facilities;
• The installation or construction of public lighting facilities, including, but not limited to, traffic signals;
• The installation or construction of any facilities which are appurtenant to any of the foregoing or which are necessary or convenient for the maintenance or servicing thereof, including, but not limited to, grading, clearing, removal of debris, the installation or construction of curbs, gutters, walls, sidewalks, or paving, or water, irrigation, drainage, or electrical facilities;

Page 48 of 314 ends

Formation of LLAD No. 26-1 SECTION I
Engineer’s Report for Fiscal Year 2027-28 INTRODUCTION
2 • The installation of park or recreational improvements, including, but not limited to, all the following:
o Land preparation, such as grading, leveling, cutting and filling, sod, landscaping, irrigation systems, sidewalks, and drainage; o Lights, playground equipment, play courts, and public restrooms; o The acquisition of land for park, recreational, or open-space purposes; and
o The acquisition or construction of any community center, municipal auditorium or hall, or similar public facility for the indoor presentation of performances.

The improvements that may be acquired, constructed, operated, maintained and serviced by each of the zones of benefit has been further defined within Section III, Part A of this report.

Generally, the aforementioned public improvements are installed as a part of the conditions of approval to construct new housing or commercial/industrial developments.

The formation of these LLADs ensure that the operation, maintenance, servicing, and replacement of the improvements are specifically paid for by those property owners who directly benefit from the improvements.

If formed, the District will consist of one commercial property and one institutional property owned by the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District as described in Table 1 below:

Engineer’s Report for Fiscal Year 2027-28 INTRODUCTION
3 In order to form the District, majority property owner voter approval is needed prior to final approval from City Council. This process is discussed in Section II, ‘Impacts of Proposition 218’ of this Report.

As required by the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, this Report includes: (1) a description of the improvements to be operated, maintained, and serviced by the District, (2) an estimated budget for the District, and (3) a listing of the proposed maximum assessments to be levied upon each assessable lot or parcel within the District.

This Report applies to Fiscal Year (FY) 2027–28, the first fiscal year in which assessments will be levied and collected. However, the City’s FY 2026–27 budget and cost information is the best available data at the time this Report was prepared.

Accordingly, all amounts stated in this Report are expressed in FY 2026–27 dollars, which serves as the “Base-Year” for establishing the District maximum assessment rates. The maximum assessment rates for FY 2027–28 will be determined by applying the annual adjustment formula described on page 33 of this Report to the Base-Year maximum assessment rates.

The City of Brentwood will hold a Public Hearing on October 13, 2026, regarding the formation of the District and the associated zones of benefit. At the Public Hearing, the City will provide an opportunity for any interested person to be heard. After the Public Hearing, if the assessment ballot tabulation is favorable, the City Council may adopt a resolution forming the District and confirming the maximum assessment rates as originally proposed or as modified.

Payment of these annual assessments for each parcel will be made in the same manner and at the same time as payments are made for their annual property taxes. All funds collected through the assessments must be placed in a special fund and can only be used for the purposes stated within this report.

IMPACTS OF PROPOSITION 218
LANDSCAPE & LIGHTING ASSESSMENT DISTRICT No. 26-1
(CITYWIDE AND LOCAL MAINTENANCE SERVICES)
FISCAL YEAR 2027-28
On November 5, 1996 California voters approved Proposition 218 entitled "Right to Vote On Taxes Act" which added Articles XIIIC and XIIID to the California Constitution.

While its title refers only to taxes, Proposition 218 establishes new procedural requirements for the formation and administration of assessment districts.

These new procedures stipulate that even if assessments are initially exempt from Proposition 218, new or future increases in assessments must comply with the provisions of Proposition 218. However, if the increase in assessment was anticipated in the assessment formula (e.g., CPI increase or assessment cap) then the assessment increase is compliant with the intent and provisions of Proposition 218.

In order to form the District, property owner voter approval is required prior to final approval from City Council. In order to comply with the requirements of Proposition 218, the City of Brentwood has implemented the following procedures:
1) Every record owner within the District will be mailed a ballot, which allows the record owner to cast their vote either in favor or against the proposed formation of the District. A notice describing the assessment, the individual property owner’s maximum annual assessment rate, the duration of the assessment, the reason for the assessment, and the basis upon which the assessment is calculated will accompany the ballots.
2) After the close of the public input portion of the Public Hearing, the ballots, which have been returned to the City Clerk will be tabulated to determine whether a majority protest against the formation of the District exists. 3) When tabulating the assessment ballots, they will be weighted based on their proportionate maximum assessment amount.
4) Publicly owned properties must be assessed unless there is clear and convincing evidence that those properties receive no special benefit from the improvements. Exempted from the assessment would be the areas of public streets, public avenues, public lanes, public roads, public drives, public courts, public alleys, public easements and rights-of-ways, public greenbelts and public parkways, and that portion of public property that is not used for business purposes similar to private residential, commercial, industrial and institutional activities.

After the Public Hearing and after the ballots have been tabulated, the City Council may adopt a resolution confirming the maximum assessment rate either as originally proposed or as modified.

METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT OF ASSESSMENT
Part 2 of Division 15 of the Streets and Highways Code, the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, permits the establishment of assessment districts by agencies for the purpose of providing certain public improvements which includes, but is not limited to the construction, operation, maintenance, servicing and replacement of street lighting, landscaping, trails, open space and park improvements.

Section 22573 of the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972 requires that maintenance assessments must be levied according to benefit rather than according to assessed value. This Section states:
"The net amount to be assessed upon 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 benefit to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements.”
In addition, Article XIIID, of the California Constitution limits the amount of any assessment to the proportional “special benefit” conferred on the property. Article XIIID provides that only special benefits are assessable, and the City must separate the general benefits from the special benefits conferred on a parcel. There is no widely accepted or statutory formula for determining general and special benefit. However, the constitution states that a special benefit is different from a general benefit in that it is “particular and distinct” and “over and above” general benefits received by other properties.

The Act permits the designation of zones of benefit within any individual assessment district if “by reasons or variations in the nature, location, and extent of the improvements, the various areas will receive different degrees of benefit from the improvement” (Sec. 22574). Thus, the 1972 Act requires the levy of a true “assessment” rather than a “special tax”.

Article XIIID provided that publicly owned properties must be assessed unless there is clear and convincing evidence that those properties receive no special benefit from the assessment. Exempted from the assessment would be the areas of public streets, public avenues, public lanes, public roads, public drives, public courts, public alleys, public easements and rights-of-ways, public greenbelts and public parkways, utility easements, and that portion of public property that is not developed and used for business purposes similar to private residential, commercial, industrial and institutional activities.

Engineer’s Report for Fiscal Year 2027-28 PART D
15 The amount to be assessed may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the amount among all assessable lots or parcels. Additionally, it’s required that the City separate the general benefits from the special benefits, because only special benefits may be assessed. The quantification and separation of general benefit from special benefits follows for each of the proposed zones of benefit.

QUANTIFICATION OF BENEFIT
The District will provide a funding source for the operation, maintenance, servicing, and replacement of landscaping, parks, street lighting, trails and other facilities authorized under the statute that benefit properties within the boundaries of the District. Due to the varying degrees of operation, maintenance, and benefit conferred to property for each improvement type throughout the District, seven (7) specific benefit zones have been created. These zones are necessary to accurately track the operation, maintenance, servicing, and replacement costs for each improvement type.

Parcels benefiting from the streetlight improvements along arterial and major roadways are located in Zone A. Parcels benefiting from landscaping improvements along arterial and major roadways are located in Zone B. Parcels benefiting from community and neighborhood park improvements are located in Zone C. Parcels benefiting from Citywide Trails are located in Zone D. Parcels benefiting from local street lighting are located in Zone E. Parcels benefiting from local landscaping are located in Zone F-01 and Zone F-02.

In order for the City to separate the general benefits from the special benefits, because only special benefits may be assessed, both the general benefits and special benefits must be identified. In order to more clearly identify the properties that receive a benefit, a citywide analysis was performed on all landscaping, street lighting, park, and trail improvements within the City. The analysis reviewed the costs of each improvement type, the purpose and users of each improvement, and then identified the properties both within and outside the City, within and outside each LLAD, including the District, and then allocated the costs to maintain, service, and replace each improvement type to each identified property. Furthermore, the costs for each improvement type associated with special benefit are assigned to the District, other LLADs, and the City. Any costs associated with general benefits or special benefits assigned to properties (both within and outside and the City) not in the District are to be paid for by the City. Only the costs associated with the special benefits conferred on property within the District from the authorized improvements are assessable and therefore assessed herein. A summary of the analysis that occurred for each zone of benefit and the method of allocating costs for the associated improvement types follow:

Zone A - Street Lighting Along Arterial and Major Roadways Street Lighting Along Arterial and Major Roadway Assessment Methodology To determine which properties benefit from street lighting along the City’s arterial and major roadways a benefit analysis was performed. The analysis utilized Google Maps to

Page 62 of 314 ends

Formation of LLAD No. 26-1 SECTION III
Engineer’s Report for Fiscal Year 2027-28 PART D
16 determine which arterial and major roadways within the City were most likely to be used by property owners/residents when driving or walking to various destinations inside and outside of the City. The analysis showed that all properties within the City would utilize the City’s arterial and major roadway system when traveling to destinations within the City or to other cities and communities. The analysis also found that there are additional properties located outside the City limits that would utilize the City’s arterial and major roadway system when traveling through the City to various destinations outside the City.

Vehicular or pedestrian traffic flow commencing outside of the City but traveling to a destination inside the City was determined to be a special benefit to the destination parcel within the City. The analysis used each parcel’s physical location as a starting destination and then selected ending destinations were inputted (e.g., neighboring cities or communities surrounding the City of Brentwood). If Google Maps showed the property owner/resident located outside the City would utilize the City’s arterial and major roadway system to travel to a destination outside of the City, then they were considered to receive a general benefit from the City’s arterial and major roadway system. In addition, the analysis showed that parcels outside of the City, that are not shaded on the Arterial and Major Roadways Benefit Boundary Diagram in Appendix B of this report, did not utilize the City’s roadways to travel to a destination parcel outside of the City, but would rather utilize Highway 4 to traverse the City or use an alternative route, therefore circumventing the City’s arterial and major roadways.

Street lighting located along the City’s arterial and major roadways provide a benefit to parcels inside and outside the City. The benefits from streetlights are enhanced illumination which allows for safer vehicle and pedestrian access to and from property.

In addition, this enhanced illumination helps deter criminal or suspicious activity such as property theft, vandalism, illegal dumping, etc.

In addition to the special and direct benefits the property owners within the City receive from these enhanced street lighting improvements, there are also some incidental general benefits received by vehicular and pedestrian flow-through traffic which originates from properties outside the City limits from individuals who use the City’s arterial and major roadway system to travel to another destination outside of the City. It has been determined that some properties not located within the City, north of the City limits, utilize arterial and major roadways within the City when traveling to destinations south of the City and that some properties not located within the City, south and east of the City limits, utilize arterial and major roadways within the City when traveling to a destination north of the City. Properties meeting these criteria have been identified in the Arterial and Major Roadways Benefit Boundary Diagram and such benefits must be accounted for and cannot be assessed to the properties within the District.

To quantify and separate the special benefits received by property owners within the City limits and the general benefit received by the property owners outside the City, an assessment methodology was applied to all benefitting properties (both inside and outside the City) as identified on the Arterial and Major Roadways Benefit Boundary Diagram. The assessment methodology utilizes the Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EDU) methodology as discussed below.

Page 63 of 314 ends

Formation of LLAD No. 26-1 SECTION III
Engineer’s Report for Fiscal Year 2027-28 PART D
17 Single-Family Residential Parcels - The single-family residential parcel has been selected as the basic unit for the calculation of assessments since it represents approximately 90% of the parcels within the City. Therefore, the single-family residential parcel is defined as one (1.00) Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EDU) per parcel. The assessment methodology used to assign EDUs to other land uses in proportion to the special benefit they receive relative to the single-family residential parcel is discussed below.

Condominium, Townhome and Mobile Home Parcels - Condominiums, townhomes and mobile homes on average have approximately 75% of the building square footage compared to a single-family home, which translates to fewer residents per unit than a single-family home. Therefore, all condominium, townhome and mobile home parcels are assessed 0.75 EDUs per parcel.

Multi-Family Residential Units - Multi-family residential units on average have approximately 50% of the building square footage compared to a single-family home which translates to fewer residents per unit than a single-family home. Therefore, all multi-family parcels are assessed 0.50 EDUs per unit.

Non-Residential Parcels - Commercial, industrial, institutional, and other non-residential properties are assessed at three (3) EDUs per acre of land. The 3.00 EDU per acre allocation is based upon the average size of a single-family parcel in the City of Brentwood which is approximately 1/6 of an acre. For every acre of non-residential land approximately 6 single-family homes could be constructed on that acre of land which would equate to 6.00 EDUs per acre. Furthermore, it was determined that NonResidential parcels benefit less than residential properties from the authorized improvements because their employees have less time and opportunity to use and benefit from the improvements, than residents who live within the City. Employees typically benefit or may use the improvements before work, during breaks and at lunch, or after work. Residents have the ability to use the improvements during the same times and on weekends and holidays, since they reside in the area. Based on this information, it is reasonable to assume that for non-residential property the opportunity to use and benefit from the improvements is approximately 50% of that realized by residential properties. Therefore, EDUs assigned to non-residential property are assessed three (3) EDUs per acre of land because they have been discounted by 50% to account for the differences in benefit from improvements conferred on residential and non-residential property.

Exempt Parcels - Publicly owned properties must be assessed unless there is clear and convincing evidence that those properties receive no special benefit from the improvements. Exempted from the assessment would be the areas of public streets, public avenues, public lanes, public roads, public drives, public courts, public alleys, public easements and rights-of-ways, public greenbelts and public parkways, and that portion of public property that is not used for business purposes similar to private residential, commercial, industrial and institutional activities. Also exempted from the assessments are private streets, utility easements, HOA common areas (except club

Engineer’s Report for Fiscal Year 2027-28 PART D
18 houses, community centers, parking lots, etc.) and any other parcels that do not receive a special and direct benefit from the improvements.

Following are exceptions to the methodology above:
• Undeveloped property in the City benefits less from arterial and major roadway street lighting than developed property because undeveloped parcels do not have structures which house residents or employees, and the number of vehicle and pedestrian trips is less than that of a developed property. However, street lights do confer benefit to undeveloped property, just not at the same level as developed property. Street lighting benefits undeveloped property by already being installed so that when development does occur the developed property will have safe vehicle and pedestrian ingress and egress immediately. Illumination of the arterial and major roadway streets also acts as a deterrent for illegal dumping on undeveloped land. Based on this information, it is reasonable to assume that undeveloped property benefits less than developed property. To determine the difference in special benefit conferred on developed and undeveloped property, the Contra Costa County Assessor’s assessed values for property within the City were reviewed to determine what percentage of assessed value is typically associated with the underlying land and what percentage is typically associated with the structure. Based upon the review, it was determined that approximately 25% of the assessed value of developed property in the City is associated with the underlying land. Based on the comparison of benefits of developed property to undeveloped property it is reasonable to assess the undeveloped property at 25% of the rate for developed property. Therefore, EDUs assigned to undeveloped property classified above have been reduced by 75% to account for the differences in benefit conferred on developed versus undeveloped property. • Some parcels outside of the City benefit from the City’s arterial and major roadway improvements because they would most likely travel through the City utilizing such arterial and major roadways, when accessing neighboring cities or areas outside the City. It is estimated that a property owner makes on average 10 vehicular trips per day for a single-family home. It is assumed that 2 of these trips may use the arterial and major roadways within the City of Brentwood if the property owners worked in cities located outside their city or community, such as San Francisco, Livermore, San Jose, etc. The remaining 8 vehicular trips (e.g. taking kids to school, day care, grocery store, after school activities, dinner, etc.) would most likely be within their own city/community or to a destination parcel within the City of Brentwood. Therefore, since only 2 out of the 10 daily trips are expected to be on the City’s arterial and major roadway system to travel to a destination outside of the City, an eighty (80) percent reduction was applied to each parcel’s EDUs for the parcels outside the City that benefit from the City’s arterial and major roadway improvements.

Based on the EDU assignments for all properties identified within the Arterial and Major Roadways Benefit Boundary Diagram, it was determined that 2.81% of the EDUs were

Page 65 of 314 ends

Formation of LLAD No. 26-1 SECTION III
Engineer’s Report for Fiscal Year 2027-28 PART D
19 assigned to properties located outside of the City. Therefore, it is estimated that 97.19% of the annual cost to operate, maintain, service and replace the arterial and major roadway street lighting would be a special and direct benefit to the parcels within the City as shown on the Arterial and Major Roadways Benefit Boundary Diagram and

2.81% of the annual cost to operate, maintain, service and replace the arterial and major roadway street lighting would be a general benefit. Therefore, the arterial street lighting costs associated with special benefit are assigned to the District, other LLADs, and the City.

Street Lighting Along Arterial and Major Roadway Assessment Allocation The 1,405 roadside and median streetlights located along arterial and major roadways within the Arterial and Major Roadway Benefit Boundary cost approximately $523,632 per year to maintain in Base-Year FY 2026-27 dollars. The cost to maintain the streetlighting along the arterial and major roadways are spread to all benefitting parcels identified within the Arterial and Major Roadway Benefit Boundary. The parcels identified to be within the Arterial and Major Roadway Benefit Boundary equate to 26,181.59 EDUs which results in an annual assessment rate of $20.00 per EDU in Base-Year FY 2026-27 dollars. As previously discussed, 97.19% of the annual cost to operate and maintain the streetlights would be a special and direct benefit to the parcels within the Arterial and Major Roadway Benefit Boundary. Table No. 3 shows the streetlight cost allocation associated with arterials and major roadways.

Landscaping located along the City’s arterial and major roadways provide a benefit to parcels within and outside the City. The benefits from landscaping include enhanced beautification while driving or walking and enhanced beautification to the adjacent developments where the landscaping is located.

In addition to the special and direct benefits the property owners within the City receive from these enhanced landscaping improvements, there are also some incidental general benefits received by vehicular and pedestrian flow-through traffic which originates from properties outside the City limits from individuals who use the City’s arterial and major roadway system to travel to another destination outside of the City.

22 • Undeveloped property in the City benefits less from arterial and major roadway landscaping than developed property because undeveloped parcels do not have structures which house residents or employees, and the number of vehicle and pedestrian trips is less than that of a developed property. However, landscaping does confer benefit to undeveloped property, just not at the same level as developed property. Landscaping benefits undeveloped property by already being installed so that when development does occur the developed property will have enhanced beautification entering their development area immediately.

Based on this information, it is reasonable to assume that undeveloped property benefits less than developed property. To determine the difference in special benefit conferred on developed and undeveloped property, the Contra Costa County Assessor’s assessed values for property within the City were reviewed to determine what percentage of assessed value is typically associated with the underlying land and what percentage is typically associated with the structure.

Based upon the review, it was determined that approximately 25% of the assessed value of developed property in the City is associated with the underlying land. Based on the comparison of benefits of developed property to undeveloped property it is reasonable to assess the undeveloped property at 25% of the rate for developed property. Therefore, EDUs assigned to undeveloped property have been reduced by 75% to account for the differences in benefit conferred on developed versus undeveloped property. • Some parcels outside of the City benefit from the City’s arterial and major roadway improvements because they would most likely travel through the City utilizing such arterial and major roadways, when accessing neighboring cities or areas outside the City. It is estimated that a property owner makes on average 10 vehicular trips per day for a single-family home. It is assumed that 2 of these trips may use the arterial and major roadways within the City of Brentwood if the property owners worked in cities located outside their city or community, such as San Francisco, Livermore, San Jose, etc. The remaining 8 vehicular trips (e.g. taking kids to school, day care, grocery store, after school activities, dinner, etc.) would most likely be within their own city/community or to a destination parcel within the City of Brentwood. Therefore, since only 2 out of the 10 daily trips are expected to be on the City’s arterial and major roadway system to travel to a destination outside of the City, an eighty (80) percent reduction was applied to each parcel’s EDUs for the parcels outside the City that benefit from the City’s arterial and major roadway improvements.
• Non-LLAD parcels in the City tend to be in the older parts of the City that are not adjacent to the lusher enhanced landscaping that was installed by the LLAD developments. This also holds true for the parcels located outside of the City limits. Therefore, non-LLAD parcels and parcels located outside of the City will receive a 50% reduction in their EDU assignment outlined in the assessment methodology described herein, since these parcels do not receive the same benefit of having the enhanced beautification along the arterial and major roadways adjacent to and entering their development. These property owners do

23 however receive benefit from being able to drive down the enhanced landscaped streets while traveling to and from their destinations.

Based on the EDU assignments for all properties identified within the Arterial and Major Roadways Benefit Boundary Diagram, it was determined that 1.63% of the EDUs were assigned to properties located outside of the City. Therefore, it is estimated that 98.37% of the annual cost to operate, maintain, service and replace the arterial and major roadway landscaping would be a special and direct benefit to the parcels within the City as shown on the Arterial and Major Roadways Benefit Boundary Diagram and 1.63% of the annual cost to operate, maintain, service and replace the arterial and major roadway landscaping would be a general benefit. Therefore, the arterial landscaping costs associated with special benefit are assigned to the District, other LLADs, and the City.

Landscaping Along Arterial and Major Roadway Assessment Allocation The 119.902 acres of City-maintained landscaping along the arterial and major roadways within the Arterial and Major Roadway Benefit Boundary cost approximately $4,755,904 per year to maintain in Base-Year FY 2026-27 dollars. The cost to maintain the arterial and major roadway landscaping is spread to all benefitting parcels identified within the Arterial and Major Roadway Benefit Boundary. The parcels identified on the Arterial and Major Roadway Benefit Boundary equate to 23,199.53 EDUs which results in an annual assessment rate of $205.00 per EDU in Base-Year FY 2026-27 dollars.

Park Facilities Assessment Methodology
The City of Brentwood’s General Plan policy is aimed at ensuring that recreational opportunities will continue to exist throughout the City and that an adequate park system continues to be developed and maintained to serve the City. In keeping with these policies, the City Council formed a Citywide Assessment District for Park Maintenance in 1997 to secure a funding mechanism for a portion of the costs to

24 maintain these Community Parks and Neighborhood Parks. The status of the three Community Parks within the City are discussed below.
1) Brentwood Family Aquatic Complex (including Veteran’s Park & Skate Park): The Aquatic Complex located along Griffith Lane and Balfour Road is approximately 17 acres. The complex includes a 25-yard competition swimming pool, a tot pool, a lap/recreational/instructional pool, two (2) waterslides, shade structures, a shower building and 3.0 acres of adjacent landscaping. The pool and pool related facilities total approximately 3.5 acres. The remaining 13.3 acres includes a 22,000-square foot Skate Park, Veteran’s Park and an 8,500 square foot Senior Activity Center. An area adjacent to the pool has been reserved to enhance recreation opportunities for the pool users and the residents. The Skate Park includes some of the following features: beginners bowl, 4-sided pyramid, beginner’s fun box/ledge, intermediate pyramid, concrete bowls, hip/roll-in, quarter pipe/grind box, spine ramp and grind rails. Veterans Park includes some of the following features: bocce courts, horseshoe pits, shaded family picnic sites, play areas, benches, sand volleyball court, shaded group picnic areas, a parking lot, and a Veterans Memorial area. 2) Sunset Park: Sunset Park is approximately 39 acres and includes 6 ball diamonds, 2 restrooms, 2 concession stands, 3 group picnic areas, soccer field, play area for 2-5 and 5-12-year old age groups, and 2 lighted parking lots to accommodate approximately 350 vehicle spaces. All of the ball fields are lit. 3) Sand Creek Sports Complex: The City purchased 14.44 acres of land for the Sand Creek Sport Complex located at the corner of Fairview Avenue and Sand Creek Road. This site will eventually become a community sports use facility.

There are 100 parks spread throughout the City serving a population of approximately 65,000 residents. Community and neighborhood parks provide a special and direct benefit to the parcels within the City. The special and direct benefit to the parcels consists of enhanced recreational opportunities, including baseball, soccer, swimming, basketball, walking, jogging, etc. and the use of facilities such as: picnic tables, barbequing, playground equipment, community center rooms, etc. The parks and the associated recreational opportunities provide for more aesthetically pleasing neighborhoods, and an overall improved and healthier community image, etc. If these park improvements were not installed, property within the District would not look as appealing to property owners, prospective property buyers, and patrons alike, which would adversely affect the value of their property.

The Brentwood Parks, Trails, and Recreation Master Plan development guidelines states that, neighborhood parks should service residents, property owners, and employees within a ½ mile +/- radius or approximately 1,000 to 2,000 people. The City maintains on average one neighborhood park per 800 residents. In addition to the special and direct benefits the property owners receive within the City from these enhanced park improvements, there are also some incidental benefits received by

Page 71 of 314 ends

Formation of LLAD No. 26-1 SECTION III
Engineer’s Report for Fiscal Year 2027-28 PART D
25 residents located from outside the City that may utilize the City’s community and neighborhood parks. Even though these are incidental benefits, they must be accounted for and cannot be assessed to the properties within the District.

Based on park user data, it is conservatively estimated that approximately 95% of the benefits associated with community parks are of benefit to property within the City and 98% of the benefits associated with neighborhood parks are of a special and direct benefit to properties within ½ mile distance (+/-). Therefore, 95% of the costs to annually operate, maintain, service and replace the community parks and 98% of the costs to annually operate, maintain, service and replace the neighborhood parks would be a special and direct benefit to the parcels within the City, and 5% and 2%, respectively of the annual costs to operate, maintain, service and replace the parks would be a general benefit.

Community and Neighborhood Parks provide a special and direct benefit to the parcels within the benefit boundary. The special and direct benefit to the parcels consists of enhanced recreational opportunities, including: baseball, soccer, swimming, basketball, walking, jogging, etc. and the use of facilities such as: picnic tables, barbequing, playground equipment, community center rooms, etc. The parks and the associated recreational opportunities provide for more aesthetically pleasing neighborhoods, and an overall improved and healthier community image, etc. If these park improvements were not installed, property within the District would not look as appealing to property owners, prospective property buyers, and patrons alike, which would adversely affect the property.

To quantify the special benefits received by property owners within the Park Benefit Boundary, an assessment methodology was applied to all benefitting properties inside the Park Benefit Boundary Diagram. The assessment methodology utilizes the Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EDU) methodology as discussed below.

Page 72 of 314 ends

Formation of LLAD No. 26-1 SECTION III
Engineer’s Report for Fiscal Year 2027-28 PART D
26 multi-family parcels are assessed 0.50 EDUs per unit.

Non-Residential Parcels - Commercial, industrial, institutional, and other non-residential properties benefit less from Community and Neighborhood Parks than residential property because their employees have less time and opportunity to use the parks than residents who live within the Parks Benefit Boundary. Employees can typically use the parks before work, during breaks and at lunch, or after work while residents have the ability to use the parks during the same times and on weekends and holidays, since they reside in the area. Based on this information, it is reasonable to assume that for non-residential property the opportunity to use and benefit from Community and Neighborhood Parks is approximately 50% of that realized by developed residential properties. The average size of a single-family parcel in the City of Brentwood is approximately 1/6 of an acre. For every acre of non-residential land approximately 6 single-family homes could be constructed on that acre of land which equates to 6.00 EDUs per acre. Therefore, since the benefit realized by non-residential property is approximately 50% of that realized by developed residential property, all non-residential properties are assessed at three (3.00) EDUs per acre of land.

Following are exceptions to the methodology above:
• Undeveloped property benefits less from the Community and Neighborhood Park improvements than developed property because undeveloped parcels do not have structures which house residents or employees. However, the parks do confer benefit to undeveloped property, just not at the same level as developed property. Park improvements benefit undeveloped property by already being installed so that when development does occur the developed property will have the ability to use the park system immediately. Based on this information, it is reasonable to assume that undeveloped property benefits less than developed property. To determine the difference in special benefit conferred on developed and undeveloped property, the Contra Costa County Assessor’s assessed values for property within the City were reviewed to determine what percentage of assessed value is typically associated with the underlying land and what percentage is typically associated with the structure. Based upon the review, it was determined that approximately 25% of the assessed value of developed

Page 73 of 314 ends

Formation of LLAD No. 26-1 SECTION III
Engineer’s Report for Fiscal Year 2027-28 PART D
27 property in the City is associated with the underlying land. Based on the comparison of benefits of developed property to undeveloped property it is reasonable to assess the undeveloped property at 25% of the rate for developed property. Therefore, EDUs assigned to undeveloped residential property have been reduced by 75% and undeveloped non-residential property have been reduced by 87.5% to account for the differences in benefit from park improvements conferred on developed and undeveloped property.

Park Facilities Assessment Allocation
The approximate 247.37 acres of community and neighborhood parks within the Park Benefit Boundary cost approximately $9,914,391 to maintain in Base-Year FY 2026-27 dollars. The cost to maintain the parks is spread to all benefitting parcels identified within the Parks Benefit Boundary.

The community parks within the Park Benefit Boundary cost approximately $4,609,371 to maintain in Base-Year FY 2026-27 dollars. As previously discussed, 95% of the annual cost to operate and maintain community parks is considered a special and direct benefit to the parcels within the park benefit boundary and 5% of the annual cost to operate and maintain community parks is considered a general benefit. The parcels identified within the Park Benefit Boundary equate to 23,055.35 EDUs, which results in an annual assessment rate of $90.00 per EDU in Base-Year FY 2026-27 dollars for community parks.

Zone D – Citywide Trails
The citywide trails provide special and direct benefits to the parcels located within a certain proximity to the trails. These special and direct benefits consist of enhanced recreational opportunities such as walking, jogging, biking, etc. within and along their developments. These benefits allow for:
• Increases in options to exercise and incorporate recreational opportunities into daily routines.
• Increases in opportunities to travel and connect with places people may need or want to go.
• Enhanced environmental opportunities because of improvement in air quality due to people utilizing the trail verse driving to nearby destinations. • Specific enhancements in property values due to the increase in walkability of an area and the increase in amenities.

In addition, the trails provide general benefits to the public-at-large since it is a public trail system and anyone from the public can access it. To determine who is most likely to use trails, the City’s Parks and Recreation Department staff performed a trail user survey over multiple days at different times and locations along existing trail segments over a three-month period. Based upon their survey findings, ninety-three percent (93%) of trail users were benefitting property owners located both within the City and those outside the City limits, who lived within ½-mile (+/-) of trails. The ½-mile benefit boundaries from each respective trail can vary slightly for trail segments due to the location of geographical features and major roadways. Therefore, it is estimated that 93% of the annual cost to operate, maintain, service and replace the trail improvements

Page 75 of 314 ends

Formation of LLAD No. 26-1 SECTION III
Engineer’s Report for Fiscal Year 2027-28 PART D
29 would be a special and direct benefit to the parcels within the ½-mile (+/-) distance both within and outside the City and 7% of the annual cost to operate, maintain, service and replace the trail improvements would be a general benefit. Special benefits assigned to properties that lie within a ½ mile (+/-) of trails that are not within a LLAD (in or outside the City), are special benefits that will be paid by the City because they cannot be assessed to parcels within LLADs. Only the benefits associated with properties within the City and within a LLAD that are within a ½ mile (+/-) distance of trails will be assessed.

To quantify the special benefits received by property owners within the Citywide Trail Benefit Boundary an assessment methodology was applied to all benefitting properties inside the Citywide Trail Benefit Boundary. The assessment methodology utilizes the Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EDU) methodology as discussed below.

Non-Residential Parcels - Commercial, industrial, institutional, and other non-residential properties benefit less from citywide trails than developed residential property because their employees have less time and opportunity to use the trail than residents.

Employees can typically use the trail before work, during breaks and at lunch, or after work while residents have the ability to use the trail during the same times and on weekends and holidays, since they reside in the area. Based on this information, it is reasonable to assume that for non-residential property the opportunity to use and benefit from citywide trails is approximately 50% of that realized by developed residential properties. The average size of a single-family parcel in the City of Brentwood which is approximately 1/6 of an acre. For every acre of non-residential land approximately 6 single-family homes could be constructed on that acre of land which equates to 6.00 EDUs per acre. Therefore, since the benefit realized by non-residential property is approximately 50% of that realized by developed residential property, all

Page 76 of 314 ends

Formation of LLAD No. 26-1 SECTION III
Engineer’s Report for Fiscal Year 2027-28 PART D
30 non-residential properties are assessed at three (3.00) EDUs per acre of land.

Following are exceptions to the methodology above:
• Undeveloped property benefits less from citywide trail improvements than developed property because undeveloped parcels do not have structures which house residents or employees. However, citywide trails do confer benefit to undeveloped property, just not at the same level as developed property. Trail improvements benefit undeveloped property by already being installed so that when development does occur the developed property will have the ability to use the trail system immediately. Based on this information, it is reasonable to assume that undeveloped property benefits less than developed property. To determine the difference in special benefit conferred on developed and undeveloped property, the Contra Costa County Assessor’s assessed values for property within the City were reviewed to determine what percentage of assessed value is typically associated with the underlying land and what percentage is typically associated with the structure. Based upon the review, it was determined that approximately 25% of the assessed value of developed property in the City is associated with the underlying land. Based on the comparison of benefits of developed property to undeveloped property it is reasonable to assess the undeveloped property at 25% of the rate for developed property. Therefore, EDUs assigned to undeveloped residential property have been reduced by 75% and undeveloped non-residential property have been reduced by 87.5% to account for the differences in benefit from trails improvements conferred on developed and undeveloped property.

Based on the EDU assignments for all properties within the City and outside the City identified within the Citywide Trail Benefit Boundary Diagram, it was determined that

7.00% of the cost to operate, maintain, service and replace the trail improvements were assigned to properties outside of the Citywide Trail Benefit Boundary. Therefore, it is estimated that 93.00% of the annual cost to operate, maintain, service and replace the trail improvements would be a special and direct benefit to the parcels within the City and outside the City within the Citywide Trail Benefit Boundary as shown on the Citywide Trail Benefit Boundary Diagram and 7.00% of the annual cost to operate, maintain, service and replace the trail improvements would be a general benefit.

The approximately 25 miles of local and regional trails within the Citywide Trail Benefit Boundary cost approximately $4,008,668 to maintain in Base-Year FY 2026-27 dollars.

The cost to maintain citywide trails is spread to all benefitting parcels identified within the Citywide Trail Benefit Boundary. As previously discussed in the Assessment Methodology section of this Report 93% of the annual cost to operate and maintain this segment of trail would be a special and direct benefit to the parcels within the Citywide Trail Benefit Boundary. The parcels in the City identified on the Citywide Trail Benefit Boundary equate to 26,724.45 EDUs which results in an annual assessment rate of $150.00 per EDU in Base-Year FY 2026-27 dollars.

Zone E - Local Streetlighting
Local Lighting Assessment Methodology
Streetlighting located along City streets provide a special and direct local benefit to the adjacent parcels. The special and direct local benefit from streetlights consists of enhanced illumination which allows for safer vehicle and pedestrian access to and from property. In addition, this enhanced illumination helps deter criminal or suspicious activity such as property theft, vandalism, illegal dumping, etc.

The City has established streetlighting standards and determined that streetlights installed on a local residential or local commercial/industrial street should have a maximum spacing of 180 feet to adequately provide the local benefits stated above.

Therefore, the Zone E assessment for each development is based on the cost to maintain one streetlight per 180 linear feet of frontage to a City street. Since the streetlights located along arterial and major roadways also provide a special and direct local benefit to adjacent parcels, parcels abutting City arterial and major roadways are also subject to the Zone E assessment.

Local Lighting Assessment Allocation
The annual cost to maintain one streetlight results in an assessment rate of $1.67/linear foot of parcel frontage in Base-Year FY 2026-27 dollars. Table 7 below shows the linear

Zone F-01 and F-02 Local Landscaping
Local Landscaping Assessment Methodology
Frontage Landscaping located along City streets provide a special and direct local benefit to the adjacent parcels. The special and direct benefits from frontage landscaping consists of providing enhanced beautification to the property entrances and creates a safety buffer from the adjacent road. Property owners realize the enhanced aesthetic benefit when they are entering and exiting the project. If these frontage landscape improvements were not installed, the projects would not look as appealing to property owners and prospective property buyers, which would adversely affect the value of their property. Therefore, these landscape improvements provide a specific enhancement to their property values and not a general enhancement of property values. Frontage landscaping also provides a safety buffer to property from vehicular, bicycle, and pedestrian traffic that is generated by the adjacent road.

The City has established landscape setback standards and determined that there should be a 10-foot landscape setback between local residential or local commercial/industrial streets and adjacent property lines to adequately provide the local benefits stated above. Therefore, the Zone F assessment for each project is based on the cost to maintain a 10-foot wide landscape strip along the project’s frontage to a City street. Since frontage landscaping located along arterial and major roadways also provides a special and direct local benefit to adjacent parcels, parcels abutting City arterial and major roadways are also subject to the Zone F assessment. Parcels will not be assessed under Zone F if the associated frontage landscaping is privately maintained to the City’s satisfaction.

Local Landscaping Assessment Allocation
The annual cost to maintain one 10-foot wide linear foot of landscape frontage is $7.81/linear foot in Base-Year FY 2026-27 dollars.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. E.6
08/25/2026
SUBJECT: Setting the Fiscal Year 2026/27 General Obligation Bond Tax Rate DEPARTMENT: Finance and Information Systems
STAFF: Christine Andrews, Acting Director of Finance and Information Systems
Angela Ausemus, Senior Accountant

TITLE/RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a resolution establishing the Fiscal Year 2026/27 General Obligation Bond Tax Rate of 0.0049% and requesting that Contra Costa County place the levy on the 2026/27 property tax roll.

FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed property tax levy is expected to generate sufficient revenue to pay the Fiscal Year (FY) 2026/27 General Obligation Bond debt service of $760,000, fund associated administrative costs and maintain the required reserve fund. These revenues and expenditures are included in the FY 2026/27 General Obligation Bond Debt Service Fund Operating Budget.

BACKGROUND
On November 6, 2001, voters passed Measure J, authorizing the City of Brentwood to issue General Obligation Bonds (“Bonds”) in the principal amount of $6.0 million to finance the construction, acquisition, and improvement of a new police station.

The City subsequently issued the City of Brentwood General Obligation Bonds (“Bonds”).

California Government Code section 43632 requires the City Council to levy and collect an annual tax sufficient to pay required debt service on the Bonds until the Bonds are paid or sufficient funds have been set aside for that purpose.

The Official Statement for the Bonds stipulates that the City Council has the power and is obligated to levy ad valorem taxes annually for payment of principal, interest and accreted value of the Bonds on all property within the City subject to taxation by the City, without limitation as to rate or amount (except certain personal property, which is taxable at limited rates). It further establishes that the annual tax rate will

Page 91 of 314 ends

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. E.6
08/25/2026
be based on the assessed value of taxable property in the City. Fluctuations in the annual debt service on the Bonds and the assessed value of taxable property in the City may cause the annual tax rate to fluctuate.

Based on the FY 2026/27 debt service, reserve and administrative funding requirements, together with the assessed value certificate provided by Contra Costa County, staff has calculated that a tax rate of 0.0049% is necessary to generate sufficient revenues to meet the bond obligations. The tax rate is applied to the assessed value of all taxable property within the City.

Although the assessed valuation increased about $453 million over the prior year, the amount required to satisfy annual debt service, reserve and administrative funding requirements also increased. As a result, the tax rate must increase slightly for FY 2026/27.

Contra Costa County requires the City Council to adopt a resolution annually setting the tax rate for the Bonds in order to place the levy on the property tax roll. This rate equates to $4.90 per $100,000 of assessed valuation, which is an increase of $0.10 per $100,000 from the FY 2025/26 tax rate.

The Bonds are scheduled to be fully repaid during FY 2030/31. The remaining annual debt service requirements are shown below.

Fiscal Year Annual Debt Service
Requirements
2026/27 $760,000
2027/28 $800,000
2028/29 $840,000
2029/30 $880,000
2030/31 $925,000

PREVIOUS ACTION
Previous Action by the City Council is included on Attachment 1.

Page 92 of 314 ends

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. E.6

DATE OF NOTICE
Not Applicable.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
The proposed action is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines section 15378(b)(4) because it is a government fiscal activity that does not involve a commitment to a specific project that may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment.

ALTERNATIVE OPTION(S)
Alternative Options to the Staff Recommendation:

1. Failure to levy the required tax would prevent the City from meeting its legal obligation to provide for the repayment of the General Obligation Bonds and could expose the City to legal action by bondholders.

Consultant may not commence Bidding Phase Services or Construction Phase Services unless the City has completed the applicable CEQA review and the City Engineer has issued written authorization to proceed with the applicable phase. Nothing in this Section limits Consultant’s right to compensation for authorized Services properly performed under this Agreement or to any applicable schedule adjustment authorized pursuant to Section 6.

3. Personnel and Subconsultants. Consultant will be responsible for employing or engaging all persons necessary to perform the Services. Consultant will control the manner and means of the services to be performed by its employees and subconsultants. All of Consultant's staff will be qualified by training and experience to perform their assigned tasks. Consultant will give its personal attention to the fulfillment of the provisions of this Agreement by all of its employees and consultant, if any, and will keep the Services under its control. On demand of City, if any employee or Consultant fails or refuses to carry out the provisions of this Agreement or appears to be incompetent or to act in a disorderly or improper manner, he or she will be discharged immediately from the Services.

3.1 Consultant’s Key Personnel. The Consultant’s key personnel assigned to this Project, as specified in Consultant’s Proposal, may not be changed without the prior written approval of the City.

Consultant must promptly notify the City in writing of any changes or proposed changes to the key personnel identified in the Proposal (or subsequently approved by the City), and of any changes to the contact information (telephone and email) for any key personnel.

3.2 Consultant’s Principal Representative. Consultant’s principal representative assigned to this Project is Robert Broestl, Principal in Charge, who will have full authority from Consultant to receive and act on instructions from the City.

3.3 Subconsultants. Consultant may not engage the services of any subconsultant for this Project, including, but not limited to, firms or individuals providing specialized architectural or engineering services, without obtaining the City’s prior written approval. The City’s approval must not be deemed to create any contractual relationship between the City and any such subconsultant, except that the City must be considered a third party beneficiary of such services for the Project. Consultant must bind its subconsultants in the same manner as Consultant is bound to the City under this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the insurance and indemnity requirements.

3.4 Warranty of Qualifications. Consultant warrants and represents that Consultant, its personnel, and its subconsultants are each duly qualified, licensed, and authorized by law to perform the civil engineering and related services required under this Agreement.

4. Standard of Performance. Consultant acknowledges that in entering into this Agreement the City is relying on Consultant's special civil engineering skills and experience to do and perform the Services.

The Services provided by Consultant pursuant to this Agreement must, at all times, meet or exceed the standard of care applicable to experienced, licensed civil engineers performing similar work in the area in which the Project is located. Similarly, the Services provided by any subconsultant must meet or exceed the standard of care applicable to others practicing in the subconsultant’s field and performing similar work in the area in which the Project is located. The acceptance of the Services by City does not release Consultant from these obligations.

5. Term. Unless earlier terminated, the term of this Agreement will commence upon the date first above written and will expire upon completion of the Services by Consultant.

Page 105 of 314 ends

City Attorney Approved Version 040821

6. Schedule.

6.1 Time is of the essence for providing the Services. Consultant will generally adhere to the approved Project Schedule provided, that City will grant reasonable extensions of time for the performance of the Services occasioned by unusually lengthy governmental reviews of Consultant’s work product or other unavoidable delays occasioned by unforeseen circumstances; provided, further, that such unavoidable delay will not include strikes, lockouts, work stoppages, or other labor disturbances conducted by, or on behalf of, Consultant’s officers or employees.

6.2 Consultant acknowledges the importance to City of City’s Project Schedule and agrees to put forth its best professional efforts to perform the Services in a manner consistent with that schedule.

City understands, however, that Consultant’s performance must be governed by sound practices.

Consultant will work such overtime or engage such personnel and equipment as necessary to maintain the schedule, without additional compensation.

7. Compensation.

7.1 The total fee payable for the Basic Services to be performed during the term of this Agreement will be based on the Rate Schedule, for a not to exceed amount of two hundred fifty-seven thousand ninety-three dollars ($257,093), including authorized expense reimbursements, or as otherwise specified in Exhibit A. Any authorized Additional Services will be paid for based on the Rate Schedule. No other compensation for the Services will be allowed except for items covered by subsequent amendments to this Agreement. The City reserves the right to withhold a ten percent (10%) retention until City has accepted the Services.

7.2 Payment will occur only after receipt by City of invoices sufficiently detailed to include hours performed, hourly rates, and related activities and costs for approval by City.

7.3 Within thirty (30) days after receipt of any applicable progress payment request, City will verify the accuracy of the request, correct the charges where appropriate, and make payment to Consultant in an amount equal to the amount of such application, as verified or corrected by City. No payment made prior to completion and acceptance of the Services will constitute acceptance of any part of the Services.

City reserves the right to withhold payment from Consultant on account of Services not performed satisfactorily, delays in Consultant's performance of Services, or other defaults hereunder.

8. Status of Consultant.

8.1 Consultant will perform the Services in Consultant's own way, by controlling the manner and means of the work City needs completed, and pursuant to this Agreement as an independent contractor and in pursuit of Consultant's independent calling, and not as an employee of City. The persons used by Consultant to provide the Services under this Agreement will not be considered employees of City for any purposes whatsoever.

8.2 The payment made to Consultant pursuant to the Agreement will be the full and complete compensation to which Consultant is entitled. City will not make any federal or state tax withholdings on behalf of Consultant or its agents, employees or subconsultants. City will not pay any workers' compensation insurance, retirement contributions or unemployment contributions on behalf of Consultant or its employees or subconsultants. Consultant agrees to indemnify and pay City within thirty (30) days for any tax, retirement contribution, social security, overtime payment, unemployment payment or workers' compensation payment, including, but not limited to, those based on any provision of the Federal Affordable Care Act, which City may be required to make on behalf of Consultant or any agent, employee, or subconsultant of Consultant for work done under this Agreement. At the City’s election, City may deduct the amounts paid pursuant to this Section, from any balance owing to Consultant.

9. Subcontracting. Consultant's services are being requested by City because they are unique and personal. Except as may be specified in Exhibit A, Consultant will not subcontract any portion of the

Page 106 of 314 ends
