General Services Director Cave opened the presentation regarding City Impact Fee updates. She stated that along with Community Development Director Kempenaar and Interim Administrative Services Director Zenoni, they have been working with consultants to address the outdated impact fees the City currently has in effect. Cave stated that the City currently collects four separate impact fees, two of those are City fees which include affordable housing and a multimodal fee. Additionally, the City also collects impact fees for Sacramento Metro Fire and the Sunrise Recreation and Parks District. Cave stated that the affordable housing fee was updated in 1992, prior to incorporation, and the multi modal fee was last updated in 1988, again prior to incorporation. The City conducted a Nexus study, which is based off anticipated growth, relationship to impacts on resources from growth, and establishes a “ceiling” for impact fees. Cave stated that the City Council can set the impact fee anywhere below the ceiling. She stated that the overarching principles of the impact fees are to ensure the development is paying its fair share, balance costs with “reasonableness”, strive for parity with nearby fees, balance the need of fees with Economic Development efforts, and to index to inflation.

Community Development Director Kempenaar discussed the affordable housing fee. The current fee was adopted by Sacramento County in 1992 and was intended to support very low income housing, those with 30-50% average median income. Kempenaar noted that the fees adopted in 1992 were not set to increase with inflation. In regards to the affordable housing fee, Kempenaar provided Council with three options for the increase. They can pick between, index fees to inflation (3% annually), set Citrus Heights fees to meet the average of regional fees, or match fees set by Sacramento County.

Cave provided background on roadway and transit fees, which were adopted by Sacramento County in 1988. These fees were also not indexed for inflation and were intended to fund construction of roadway and transit improvements to accommodate traffic and transit ridership. Cave discussed how the Nexus study reviewed the City’s existing roadway conditions and the impact new development would have in order to establish the proposed fees. Cave shared the proposed multimodal fees in comparison to surrounding cities in the region. Staff are recommending council adopt the fees outlined in their attachment and have noted that this fee would be indexed to inflation.

Kempenaar discussed the parks impact fees, which the City collects on behalf of the Sunrise Recreation and Parks District. These fees were adopted by the City in 1999 with the intention of supporting the expansion of parks in the city. The proposed fee would take into consideration the impact new residents and businesses have on parks.

Kempenaar lastly discusses the fire impact fee, which the City collects on behalf of Metro Fire. The capital fire facilities fee program was established in 2002 to provide facilities and equipment necessary to serve growth in the region. This proposed fee increase is largely due to land and construction costs, which have significantly outpaced inflation. The Nexus study defined the level of service for Metro Fire, catalogued existing and future facilities, established a cost per capita, and outlined projected revenue. Proposed fees for Metro Fire take into account the regional population growth and the level of service that will be required to maintain service for the City. These proposed fees range from 7-28% in compared to the current fees.

Vice Mayor Schaefer opened the public hearing at 7:49 p.m.

PUBLIC COMMENTS

Council Member Daniels shared an email he received from Kathilynn Carpenter noting her opposition to any increased commercial development fees.

City Clerk Van read a comment from Oleg Shisko, “I would like to voice my opposition to the proposed fee increases to developments in Citrus Heights. I think that this proposal comes at a very bad time. Inflation is very high, market growth and developments are slowing down, and a possible recession may be here very soon. These fee increases will significantly hurt the little guy for whom a few hundred or thousand dollars will make a big difference. If you allow these fee increases to go through, many smaller projects may be significantly delayed or even canceled. Earlier this year, our city budget had a projected surplus of $2.9 million! This should more than enough cover the higher costs our city our planning department may be experiencing. Please support the residents of Citrus Heights by rejecting these fee increases.”

City Clerk Van read a comment from Viktor Choban, “I am very happy to be living in Citrus Heights. The field of the city is very rural and in many places picturesque. I am a father of 4 children and have been renting for the last 10 years. My dream is to purchase a lot and build our home. Every time I hear about fees increases I cringe because that means people like me are discouraged from improving empty lots.

Especially with the economy slowing down right now this is not a good idea. The impact fee Itself doesn't make any sense because when a house is built on an empty lot And the new family moves in they plant trees and take care of the place. In the place of weeds and thistles and A place for dumping trash now there is a new house with the family in it. Please keep the fees low to encourage making our city more attractive By beautiful development. One of our founding fathers said about government: That which governs least governs best.”

end of year-projected reserve will be approximately $1.3 million. Zenoni stated that the increase in the City’s revenue are a result of increased sales tax revenue, property transfer tax, building fees, motor vehicle-in-lieu, and other revenue adjustments. Due to position vacancies, the City is seeing an increased labor costs savings in over $2.2 million. Zenoni stated that the City is expecting to end this budget cycle with $1.7 million more in reserves than initially projected.

Zenoni also discussed expenditure adjustments, which include an increase to information technology, risk management, police department, community events, and more. The City received $15.6 million in American Rescue Plan Act funding. The funding was split into two payments, which the City received the first allocation in May of 2021 and the second allocation in May of 2022. The City Council previously utilized funding to increase Police Department staffing and establish a COVID-19 small business grant program.

Additional funding could be used to form a Beautification Crew, purchase a Citrus Heights Block Party Trailer, and replace Police Department vehicles and communications center upgrades. Zenoni discussed the ten-year financial forecast, which is compiled with information currently available. The significant changes identified on the ten-year forecast include updated projections for sales tax, property tax, vehicle in-lieu fees, and labor costs.

ITEMS REQUESTED BY COUNCIL MEMBERS/ FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS

17. SUBJECT: Provide Direction on School Safety Committee Discussion

City Clerk Van stated that at the May 26, 2022 City Council meeting, Council Members expressed interest in forming a committee to work with the San Juan Unified School District to examine the safety and security of Citrus Heights schools. Council also discussed the possible creation of an Ad Hoc Committee to review the topic.

Council Member Bruins stated her desire to have the current Education Committee review this topic rather than forming a new committee.

Vice Mayor Schaefer stated he is on the Education Committee and has concerns about our relationship with the District. He believes that having some expertise on our own and looking at Citrus Heights schools specifically is important to our community that we are looking at this from a much more broad perspective than having two people who don’t necessarily have the expertise to really make an assessment. He believes a separate committee would be helpful in order to have specific experts provide feedback.

Council Member Bruins stated that Vice Mayor Schaefer makes a good point and stated she would like to retract her desire to have the current Education Committee address the issue. She stated that creating an entirely new committee needs to take into consideration certain issues such as how big should the committee be, would it include Police Department staff, and who from the school district should be involved.

Council Member Daniels would like to take an extensive look at each Citrus Heights school to address any safety concerns or weaknesses. He expressed the desire to have parents, teachers, and Police Department staff involved to examine safety in schools. He would also like to see staff members from the District and District Board Members be active in this discussion.

Agenda Packet Page 16
Citrus Heights City Council Minutes Thursday, June 23, 2022

Page 13 ends

Council Member Miller stated he would like to see a report from the Police Department related to safety and security of Citrus Heights schools. He stated that after the recommendation from the Police Department then Council can work with the District discuss these issues. He stated that not all Citrus Heights children attend Citrus Heights schools, so he would like to see this discussion at a broader level.

Council Member Bruins asked City Manager Feeney if he was aware of any conversations happening at the District level to address safety concerns.

City Manager Feeney stated that he has been in communication with the San Juan Unified School District Superintendent regarding the Council’s desires. He stated that the District Board of Education has authorized $10 million to address school safety improvements within their District.

Vice Mayor Schaefer stated his concern is that the $10 million is for all SJUSD schools and Citrus Heights has 13 schools and could possibly not receive enough resources.

Council Member Miller and Vice Mayor Schaefer stated they would like have the Police Department do an assessment on security and safety at Citrus Heights Schools before making any decisions.

Council Member Daniels requested to have a time frame on the assessment so that this issue doesn’t get forgotten.

By majority consensus, the City Council directed staff work with the District and our Police Department regarding Citrus Heights schools and public safety, then provide a progress report to the City Council in July.

ADJOURNMENT

Mayor Middleton adjourned the regular meeting at 10:22 p.m.

BJECT: Approve Resolution for Continued Remote Meetings in Accordance with AB 361
Summary and Recommendation
Staff recommends the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2022-___ a resolution making the legally required findings to continue to authorize the conduct of remote “telephonic” meetings during the State of Emergency.

Fiscal Impact
Th
ere is no fiscal impact associated with this item.

Background and Analysis
At
the October 14, 2021 regular meeting, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2021-082 making the legally required findings to authorize the conduct of remote “telephonic” meetings during a declared state of emergency pursuant to Government Code. The City Council determined that as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and state of emergency, meetings in person of the City Council and all legislative bodies of the City would present imminent risks to the health or safety of attendees.

In t
he event of an ongoing proclaimed state of emergency, in order to continue to conduct meetings remotely, any time after the first remote meeting of the legislative body, it can meet remotely if both of the following apply:

1. Sta
te/local emergency/social distancing. Either:
a. “a state of emergency remains active” or
b. “state or local officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing” and
Item 6
Agenda Packet Page 18
Subject: Approve Resolution for Continued Remote Meetings in Accordance with AB 361 Date: July14, 2022

Page 2 of 2 ends

Printed on Recycled Paper

2. 30 days. Within the last 30 days (which vote may occur at that meeting) the legislative body has made the following findings by majority vote “(A) The legislative body has reconsidered the circumstances of the state of emergency. (B) Any of the following circumstances exist (i) The state of emergency continues to directly impact the ability of the members to meet safely in person. (ii) State or local officials continue to impose or recommend measures to promote social distancing.”

Governor Newsom’s March 4, 2020 Proclamation of Emergency related to the COVID-19 pandemic is still in effect. It is important to note that neither AB 361 nor the attached resolution would require meetings be held in an all-virtual format. By adopting this resolution would allow a “hybrid” format where council members and staff participate either in person or remotely depending on their individual circumstances. Additionally, the hybrid formal allows the public to continue to participate remotely. Failing to adopt this resolution would require meetings to be held in-person under traditional Brown Act parameters (noticing the teleconference location, providing access to the public, etc.); adopting the resolution would give the flexibility as it moves forward with meetings.

If the City intends to conduct meetings remotely, it should add to every agenda a consent calendar item to reaffirm the findings described above, which are required to allow the remote meetings. This resolution also makes the necessary finings for all subordinate legislative bodies of the City, such as the Planning Commission, so these bodies can also continue to meet remotely on an ongoing basis.

Continually increasing utility rates and monthly maintenance costs as well as updated methods for allocation of the city’s overhead costs have all contributed to an overall increase in district expenditures.

Background and Analysis
Assessment District 98-01: First created in 1998, is for the maintenance of certain areas within the subdivision called Stock Village Unit No. 1 and Unit No. 2. Maintenance responsibilities include: [1] periodic trimming of mature oak trees and repair of, and graffiti removal from, a sound wall adjacent to the western side of the subdivision; and [2] landscape and irrigation system maintenance and repair of, and graffiti removal from, a sound wall adjacent to the eastern side of the subdivision, adjacent to Stock Ranch Road.

Assessment District 98-02: Zone 1, first created in 1998, is for the maintenance of certain areas within and adjacent to the subdivision called the Sorensen Ranch development located on the northwest corner of Van Maren Lane and Oak Lakes Lane. Zone 2, first created in 2014, is for the maintenance of certain areas within and adjacent to the subdivision called the Autumnwood development. Zone 3, first created in 2018, is for the maintenance of certain areas within and adjacent to the subdivision called the Mariposa Creek development. Zone 4, providing for the maintenance of certain areas within, and adjacent to the Wyatt Ranch development, was adopted by the City Council in November 2019. However, construction impacts brought about by the pandemic delayed construction and, as a result, the FY 22/23 levy will be the first annual assessment for Zone 4.

All improvements maintained by the various zones of Assessment District 98-02 are on public property. Maintenance responsibilities for all zones in Assessment District 98-02 generally include: maintenance and repairs of corridor landscape; masonry walls; detention basins; pedestrian pathways; pathway lighting, trees, shrubs and ground-cover care; weed control; pruning; fertilization; litter removal; tree and shrub well maintenance; irrigation system inspections and repairs; and graffiti removal.

Assessment District 03-01: Zone 1, first created in 2003, is for the maintenance of certain areas within, and adjacent to, the commercial portion of the Stock Ranch subdivision. Zone 2, first created in 2003, is for the maintenance of certain areas within, and adjacent to, the residential portion of the Stock Ranch subdivision. Zone 3, adopted by the City Council in April 2020 is for the maintenance of certain areas within, and adjacent to the Mitchell Farms development.

All improvements maintained by the various zones of Assessment District 03-01 are on public property. The maintenance responsibilities generally include: Zone 1- landscaping and irrigation; bus stops on both sides of Auburn Boulevard adjacent to the Stock Ranch commercial properties; drainage basins; open space areas; pedestrian/bike trail and a pedestrian bridge along and across Arcade Creek; Zone 2 - open space on the south side of Arcade Creek and along the north side of Stock Ranch Road, the landscape strip along the north side of Stock Ranch Road (Sol Way to Woodside Drive), the pedestrian trails and park facilities, a future median in Stock Ranch Road, east of the roundabout, and a future landscape strip along the south side of Stock Ranch Road; and Zone 3 - maintenance of the pedestrian pathway, bridges and creek open space (including inspection and pruning of trees) within Lot A (dedicated to the Sunrise Parks and Recreation District), and landscaping and irrigation within the roundabout and approach islands on Arcadia Drive.

Pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, assessment districts of this type must be updated annually. A Resolution to Initiate Proceedings is required as the first action of the City Council in order to initiate the update of the LMADs. Subsequent approval of the assessments to be levied and collected will be for the purpose of meeting operating expenses and purchasing supplies, equipment, or materials necessary to maintain landscape facilities for the districts.

An Engineer’s Report has been prepared for the proposed assessments and is available for review, by the public, in the City Clerk’s Office. The Engineer’s Report summarizes maintenance efforts and recommends increasing assessments by 3% (up to 4% maximum allowed) for Fiscal Year 2022/2023 for Districts 98-01; 98-02 Zones 1, 2, and 3; and 03-01 Zones 1 and 2. The recommended increases are in an effort to help sustain existing reserves in each of the respected zones as well as maintain current levels of service.

For District 98-02 Zone 4, the Engineer’s Report recommends levying the assessments at the rates proposed in the original Engineer’s Reported adopted by the City Council on November 14, 2019. For District 03-01, Zone 3, the recommendation is to continue levying assessments at the rates proposed in the original Engineer’s Report adopted by the City Council on April 23, 2020.

LEVY of FISCAL YEAR 2022/2023 ASSESSMENTS

INTRODUCTION

The City of Citrus Heights has four (4) separate landscape maintenance assessment districts, which provide for maintenance of common areas within nine (9) distinct communities around the City. This Engineer’s Report addresses three of the Districts, 98-01, 98-02 (Zones 1, 2, 3 and 4), and 03-01 (Zones 1, 2 and 3). The general locations of these districts are shown on the maps on the following pages.

Assessment District 98-01, first created in 1998, is for the maintenance of certain areas within the subdivision called Stock Village Unit No. 1 and Unit No. 2. A Strip of land along the west edge of the subdivision and a strip of land along the east edge, adjacent to Stock Ranch Road are the areas to be maintained.

Assessment District 98-02 (Zone 1), first created in 1998, is for the maintenance of certain areas within and adjacent to the subdivisions called Sorensen Ranch Unit Nos. 1, 2, 3, and 4 development. All improvements are on public property. The improved parcels to be maintained are along the west side of Van Maren Lane (approximately 1500 feet); along the north side of Oak Lakes Lane (approximately 1300 feet); and shorter parcels along Campfire Way at Van Maren Lane (approximately 100 feet on the south side); Horseman Way at Van Maren Lane (approximately 100 feet on the north and south side); and the east side of Silversaddle Way at Oak Lake Lane (approximately 100 feet).

Assessment District 98-02 (Zone 2), first created in 2014, is for the maintenance of certain areas within and adjacent to the Autumnwood Subdivision development. All improvements are on public property. The improved parcels to be maintained are along the south side of Antelope Road (approximately 300 feet); along the east side of Live Oak Way (approximately 370 feet); and two (2) detention basins within the subdivision.

Assessment District 98-02 (Zone 3), first created in 2018, is for the maintenance of certain areas within and adjacent to the Mariposa Creek Subdivision development. All improvements are on public property. The improved parcels to be maintained are along the north side of Antelope Agenda Packet Page 41
3 Road (approximately 436 feet); along Cripple Creek (approximately 185 lineal feet) located on the east side of the development; a pedestrian pathway with landscaping (Lot C) within the subdivision.

Assessment District 98-02, (Zone 4), provides for the maintenance of landscaping in certain dedicated public spaces within the Wyatt Ranch Subdivision. First annexed into Assessment District 98-02 by the City Council on November 14, 2019, the assessments for this 23 lot single- family parcel residential subdivision located on Lawrence Avenue on the west side of Sunrise Boulevard were not levied for the past two fiscal years due to the uncertainty of the pandemic situation and the resulting delays to construction. However, with completion of construction of the subdivision expected in the next year, assessments for the parcels within this subdivision will be levied for FY 2022/2023.

Assessment District 03-01 (Zones 1 & 2), first created in 2003, is for the maintenance of certain areas within the commercial and residential developments called Stock Ranch. Zone 1 (NORTH) consists of the landscaping along Auburn Boulevard between San Tomas Drive and Raintree Drive (north side of the street and within the medians) and the open space north of Arcade Creek. Zone 2 (SOUTH) consists of the open space on the south side of Arcade Creek and along the north side of Stock Ranch Road.

Assessment District 03-01 (Zone 3), first created in 2020, is for the maintenance of certain areas within and adjacent to the Mitchell Farms Subdivision development. All improvements are on public property. Zone 3 provides for be maintenance of a large open space area (Lot A) along Arcade Creek located in the center of the development (to be dedicated to the Sunrise Recreation and Parks District upon completion) and the landscaping within roundabout and three approach islands on Arcadia Drive.

7 ASSESSMENT DISTRICT 98-01

GENERAL

Landscape Maintenance Assessment District (LMAD) 98-01, first created in 1998, is located along the west side of Stock Ranch Road north of the Stock Ranch Road / Fountain Square Drive intersection. This LMAD provides for the maintenance of certain areas in and adjacent to Units 1 & 2 of the Stock Village subdivision. There are 133 parcels within this district, whose boundaries are more particularly described on the Assessment Diagram contained in Figure 1.1.

Specific features maintained along the western boundary of the subdivision include, a large group of mature oak trees, the west surface of the sound wall along that edge (but not the structural aspects of the wall) and the tree well areas on the west side of the sound wall. Initially the LMAD was responsible for maintaining 42 large Live and Blue oaks, however, through storm damage, disease, and age; that number has been reduced to 16. The City is committed to ensuring the health and viability of the remaining trees as well as the safety of the nearby residents. Therefore, the trees are regularly inspected by an arborist who specializes in oak tree care and maintenance (i.e. removal, pruning and/or cabling) is performed as recommended.

On the eastern boundary of the development, the LMAD maintains landscaping and irrigation in two planter areas adjacent to Stock Ranch Road (Parcels A and B) and the surface and structural aspects of the sound wall along the residential parcels abutting the two planter areas. The City is committed to the appearance of the development through proper maintenance of the plantings as well as periodic replacement of the plant materials. Additionally, the City also focuses on immediate abatement of graffiti on walls and other public structures.

City performs/manages the maintenance for the LMAD using its own forces or those of contract providers. Figure 1.2 describes the maintenance specifications for the district.

It is understood that should the assessment district be dissolved or not generate enough funds to provide the amount of maintenance described herein, the City may reduce the level of maintenance and reduce or discontinue the repair of the improvements on parcels A and B.

Additionally, the City shall then have no obligation to maintain the oak trees and sound wall on the west side of the subdivision. The individual property owners could perform the work on the west edge of the subdivision. The individual property owners would not be a beneficiary of the access easement along the west edge of the subdivision.

8 DISTRICT FINANCING/ASSESSMENT

The funding for the District is from annual assessments levied on properties within the assessment boundary (Figure 1.1) pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972.

LMAD 98-01 is currently fully funded by its assessments and has accumulated sufficient reserves to address its long-term tree and wall maintenance responsibilities. Beginning in Fiscal Year 2004-2005 the annual assessment was reduced from $158 to $80. This reduced assessment rate permitted the District to eliminate excessive increases in the reserve balance, while fully funding annual landscape maintenance and maintaining sufficient reserves to provide for unscheduled maintenance (i.e. wall repairs, oak tree trimming and electrical system repairs).

Annual adjustments are proposed for Fiscal Year 2022/2023. As shown in Figure 1.3. “Summary Analysis”, the Fiscal Year 2022/2023 assessments for District 98-01 are proposed to increase by 3% (less than the maximum allowable 4%) by approximately $2.40 per residential parcel. These additional revenues are necessary to support the Districts operations and maintenance as well as help to preserve existing operating reserves.

METHOD OF ASSESSMENT

Development of the single-family Stock Village Unit No. 1 and Unit No. 2 subdivision was conditioned upon establishing a funding source to provide for ongoing maintenance to the re- vegetation planting and the sound walls and the frontage landscaping and irrigation. Because each of the single-family lots within the District was created as a result of compliance with this condition, each lot benefits in the same proportion. Therefore, the assessment costs are allocated on a per parcel basis for all Assessment Diagram parcels located in the Assessment District that could qualify as a buildable single-family parcel per the current City of Citrus Heights Zoning Ordinances.

The City of Citrus Heights may be required to increase the assessment on each assessed parcel within the District because of the rise in the cost of maintenance activities and utilities. Each annual increase, if any, that exceeds the amount assessed to the property owners for the prior years shall not exceed the cost of living increase based on the Bay Area Consumer Price Index for all urban consumers.

The District’s Assessment Roll is shown in Figure 1.4.

15 ASSESSMENT DISTRICT 98-02 – Zone 1 (Sorensen Ranch)

GENERAL

Landscape Maintenance Assessment District (LMAD) 98-02, Zone 1 (Sorensen Ranch), first created in 1998, is located west of Van Maren Lane and north of Oak Lakes Lane. This LMAD provides for the maintenance of certain areas within and adjacent to Unit Nos. 1, 2, 3, and 4 of the Sorensen Ranch development. There are 222 parcels in this district, whose boundaries are more particularly described on the Assessment Diagram contained in Figure 2.1.

All improvements are on public property. The improved parcels to be maintained are along the west side of Van Maren Lane (approximately 1500 feet); along the north side of Oak Lakes Lane (approximately 1300 feet); and shorter parcels along Campfire Way at Van Maren Lane (approximately 100 feet on the south side); Horseman Way at Van Maren Lane (approximately 100 feet on the north and south side); and the east side of Silversaddle Way at Oak Lakes Lane (approximately 100 feet).

The improvements to be maintained include 81 Oak trees and various conifer trees and accent trees. Shrubs, groundcover, lawn planting, irrigation, sound walls, sign walls with lighting, planters and mow strips are also included. The City is committed to the appearance of the development through proper maintenance of the plantings as well as periodic replacement of the plant materials. Additionally, the City also focuses on immediate abatement of graffiti on walls and other public structures.

City performs/manages the maintenance for the LMAD using its own forces or those of contract providers. Figure 2.2 describes the maintenance specifications for the district.

DISTRICT FINANCING/ASSESSMENT

The funding for the District is from annual assessments levied on properties within the assessment boundary (Figure 2.1) pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972.

LMAD 98-02 is currently fully funded by its assessments and has accumulated sufficient reserves to address its annual landscape maintenance and long-term tree and wall maintenance responsibilities. Beginning in Fiscal Year 2003-2004 the annual assessment was reduced from $200 to $100. This reduced assessment rate permitted the District to eliminate excessive increases in the reserve balance, while fully funding annual landscape maintenance and maintaining sufficient reserves to provide for unscheduled maintenance (i.e. wall repairs, oak tree trimming and periodic plant replacement). However, with increasing costs for maintenance and utilities, it is necessary to increase revenues.

Annual adjustments are proposed for Fiscal Year 2022/2023. As shown in Figure 2.3. “Summary Analysis”, the Fiscal Year 2022/2023 assessments for District 98-02 Zone 1 are proposed to increase by 3% (less than the maximum allowable 4%) by approximately $3.00 per residential parcel. These additional revenues are necessary to support the Districts operations and maintenance as well as help to preserve existing operating reserves.

16 METHOD OF ASSESSMENT

As a condition of approval, the developer of the single family Sorensen Ranch Unit Nos. 1, 2, 3, and 4 subdivisions was required to establish a funding source to provide for ongoing maintenance of the re-vegetation planting and the sound walls and the frontage landscaping and irrigation. Because each of the single-family lots within the zone was created as a result of compliance with this condition, each lot benefits in the same proportion. Therefore, the assessment costs are allocated on a per parcel basis for all assessment diagram parcels located in the Assessment District that could qualify as a buildable single-family parcel per the current City of Citrus Heights Zoning Ordinances.

The City of Citrus Heights may be required to increase the assessment on each assessed parcel within the district because of the rise in the cost of maintenance activities and utilities. Each annual increase, if any, that exceeds the amount assessed to the property owners for the prior years shall not exceed the cost of living increase based on the Bay Area Consumer Price Index for all urban consumers.

24 ASSESSMENT DISTRICT 98-02 – Zone 2 (Autumnwood Subdivision)

GENERAL

Landscape Maintenance Assessment District (LMAD) 98-02, Zone 2 (Autumnwood Subdivision), first created in 2014, is located south side of Antelope Road and west of Amsterdam Avenue. This LMAD provides for the maintenance of certain areas within and adjacent to the Autumnwood subdivision development. All improvements are on public property.

There are 46 residential parcels in this district, whose boundaries are more particularly described on the Assessment Diagram contained in Figure 3.1.

Zone 2 consists of forty-six (46) residential lots and seven (7) lots used for landscaping, pedestrian pathways, and drainage detention basins.

Development of the property was conditioned upon establishing a funding source to provide for ongoing maintenance of landscaping, open space, pedestrian/bike trails, masonry walls, drainage detention basins and related appurtenances.

The facilities in Zone 2 include landscaping south of Antelope Road (Lots E and along the frontage of 7106 Antelope Road) and also within the subdivision (Lots A, B, C, D, F, and H). On -going maintenance of the landscaped areas require routine care of trees, shrubs , and groundcover, including weed control, fertilization , mulch repl acement, and litter removal. The pedestrian pathways require routine maintenance, including surface and structural maintenance , and graffiti abatement.

25 DISTRICT FINANCING/ASSESSMENT

The funding for Zone 2 will be from annual assessments levied on residential parcels within the zone’s assessment boundary (Figure 3.1), pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972.

The Summary Analysis for Zone 2 more completely describes the funding and is part of the engineer’s report.

After the initial year of the formation of the assessment district, the City of Citrus Heights may be required to increase the assessment on each addressed parcel within the District to pay for increased costs of maintenance and replacement. The amount of the assessments authorized to be collected may be increased by a maximum of four percent (4%) annually.

Annual adjustments are proposed for Fiscal Year 2022/2023. As shown in Figure 3.3. “Summary Analysis”, the Fiscal Year 2022/2023 assessments for District 98-02 Zone 2 are proposed to increase by 3% (less than the maximum allowable 4%) by approximately $10.62 per residential parcel. These additional revenues are necessary to support the Districts operations and maintenance as well as help to preserve existing operating reserves.

METHOD OF ASSESSMENT

As a condition of approval, the developer of the single family Autumnwood Subdivision was required to establish a funding source to provide for ongoing maintenance of the landscaping, irrigation, detention basins, pedestrian pathways, and masonry walls located within Lots A, B, C, E, and the frontage along 7106 Antelope Road. Because each of the single-family lots within the zone was created as a result of compliance with this condition, each lot benefits in the same proportion. Therefore, the assessment costs are allocated on a per parcel basis for all assessment diagram parcels located in the Assessment District that qualified as a buildable single-family parcel per the current City of Citrus Heights Zoning Ordinances.

The district’s Assessment Roll is contained in Figure 3.4.

BOUNDARY DESCRIPTION OF AREA TO BE MAINTAINED

All that real property situated in the City of Citrus Heights, County of Sacramento, State of California, which is further described as follows:

36 ASSESSMENT DISTRICT 98-02 – Zone 4 (Wyatt Ranch Subdivision)

GENERAL

Landscape Maintenance Assessment District (LMAD) 98-02, Zone 4 (Wyatt Ranch Creek Subdivision), first created by City Council action on November 14, 2019, is located on the west side of Sunrise Boulevard at Lawrence Avenue. This LMAD provides for the maintenance of certain areas within and adjacent to the Wyatt Ranch Subdivision development. All improvements are on public property or easements. There are 23 residential parcels in this zone, whose boundaries are more particularly described on the Assessment Diagram contained in Figure 5.1.

Zone 4 consists of twenty three (23) residential parcels and one (1) public utility, wall, landscape and pedestrian walkway easement used for landscaping, masonry wall and walkway along Sunrise Boulevard.

Development of the property was conditioned upon establishing a funding source to provide for ongoing maintenance of landscaping, masonry wall, walkways, and related appurtenances.

The facilities in Zone 4 include landscaping along the west side of Sunrise Boulevard. On-going maintenance of the landscaped areas require routine care of trees, shrubs and groundcover, including weed control, fertilization, mulch replacement, and litter removal. The pedestrian walkways require routine maintenance, including surface and structural maintenance and graffiti abatement. This includes replacement of the walkways in the next 40 years.

The facilities in Zone 4 also include a masonry wall along the west side of Sunrise Boulevard.

The walls require routine maintenance, including surface and structural maintenance and graffiti abatement. This item includes replacement of the masonry wall, in the next 40 years.

DISTRICT FINANCING/ASSESSMENT

The funding for Zone 4 will be from annual assessments levied on residential parcels within the zone’s assessment boundary (Figure 5.1), pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972.

The Summary Analysis for Zone 4 more completely describes the funding and is part of this engineer’s report.

Agenda Packet Page 75
37 Although formally created by the City Council in November 2019, no assessments were levied on the parcels in this zone for the past two fiscal years due to the uncertainty of the Covid-19 situation and delays in construction. However, with completion of construction of the subdivision expected in the next year, assessments for the parcels within this subdivision will be levied for FY 2022/2023.

As shown in Figure 5.3. “Summary Analysis”, the Fiscal Year 2022/2023 assessments for District 98-02, Zone 3 are proposed to be levied at the rates adopted in the original Engineers Report dated November 14, 2019.

METHOD OF ASSESSMENT

As a condition of approval, the developer of the single family Wyatt Ranch Subdivision was required to establish a funding source to provide for ongoing maintenance of the landscaping, irrigation, pedestrian pathways, and masonry wall located within the Public Utility, Wall, Landscape and Pedestrian Walkway Easement. Because each of the single-family lots within the zone was created as a result of compliance with this condition, each lot benefits in the same proportion. Therefore, the assessment costs are allocated on a per parcel basis for all assessment diagram parcels located in the Assessment District that qualified as a buildable single-family parcel per the current City of Citrus Heights Zoning Ordinances.

The district’s Assessment Roll is contained in Figure 5.4.

DISTRICT FINANCING/ASSESSMENT

The funding for the District will be from annual assessments levied on property within the zone’s assessment boundary (Figure 6.1) pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972. By agreement, the developer of the Stock Ranch subdivisions installed and maintained all landscaping improvements described in this Engineer’s Report until the City’s acceptance.

Annual adjustments are proposed for Fiscal Year 2022/2023. As shown in Figure 6.3. “Summary Analysis”, the Fiscal Year 2022/2023 assessments for District 03-01 Zone 1 are proposed to increase by 3% (less than the maximum allowable 4%) by approximately $72.27 per acre (12 parcels). These additional revenues are necessary to support the Districts operations and maintenance provided by the Sunrise Recreation and Park District as well as through City forces, and well as help to preserve existing operating and replacement reserves.

METHOD OF ASSESSMENT:

The method used to spread the assessments for Zone 1 is as follows:
• Zone 1 consists of 67.20 total acres with 36.82 acres designated for commercial uses. • The cost to maintain the improvements within Zone 1 is to be allocated as follows:

1. The assessment for each parcel is calculated by multiplying the total developable acres, as shown in Figure 4.4, by the cost per acre.

2. The assessment is subject to an annual adjustment not to exceed 4% beginning with FY 2004-2005.

47 ASSESSMENT DISTRICT 03-01 - ZONE 2 Stock Ranch SOUTH

GENERAL

This assessment district, first created in 2003, is for the maintenance of certain areas within and adjacent to the Stock Ranch development. All improvements are on public property.

Assessment District 03-01 has two service areas, Zones 1 and 2. On July 13, 2006 the City Council approved the annexation of Phases 3 and 4 of the Stock Ranch Residential development into Zone 2. The boundaries of Zone 2 are more particularly described on the Assessment Diagram contained in Figure 7.1.

Zone 2 is responsible for the open space on the south side of Arcade Creek and along the north side of Stock Ranch Road, the landscape strip along the north side of Stock Ranch Road (Sol Way to Woodside Drive), the pedestrian trails and park facilities, a future median in Stock Ranch Road, east of the roundabout, and a future landscape strip along the south side of Stock Ranch Road. The City is committed to the appearance of the development through proper maintenance of the plantings as well as periodic replacement of the plant materials. Additionally, the City also focuses on immediate abatement of graffiti on walls and other public structures.

The City maintains LMAD related landscape areas in and adjacent to public streets using City forces or those of contract providers. Facilities located in the open-space areas within the District are maintained by the Sunrise Park and Recreation District. Figure 7.2 describes the maintenance specifications for the district.

DISTRICT FINANCING/ASSESSMENT

Annual adjustments are proposed for Fiscal Year 2022/2023. As shown in Figure 7.3. “Summary Analysis”, the Fiscal Year 2022/2023 assessments for District 03-01 Zone 2 are proposed to increase by 3% (less than the maximum allowable 4%) by approximately $2.57 residential parcel; and approximately $12.85 per acre for undeveloped/commercial properties.

These additional revenues are necessary to support the extensive maintenance needs for the District, provided by the Sunrise Recreation and Park District as well as the City through contract services. It estimated all reserves for this district will be fully expended by FY 2023/2024.

METHOD OF ASSESSMENT:

The methods used to spread the assessments for Zone 2 is as follows:

1. Each single family residential parcel (121) within Zone 2 is assessed the cost of $85.72 per parcel per year (fiscal year 2021-2022) for a total annual assessment of $10,372.12.

Agenda Packet Page 86
48 2. The assessment for each non-residential parcel is calculated by multiplying the total developable acres, as shown in Figure 7.4, by the cost per acre ($428.33 per acre in Fiscal Year 2021-2022)

3. The assessments are subject to an annual adjustment not to exceed 4% beginning with FY 2004-2005.

Landscape Maintenance Assessment District (LMAD) 03-01, Zone 3 (Mitchell Farms Subdivision), first created by City Council action on April 23, 2020, is located east of Sunrise Boulevard, north of Arcadia Drive, and west of Fair Oaks Boulevard. This LMAD provides for the maintenance of a large open-space lot within the Mitchell Farms Subdivision development and landscaping within a roundabout on Arcadia Drive. All improvements are on public property. There are 258 residential parcels in this district, whose boundaries are more particularly described on the Assessment Diagram contained in Figure 8.1.

This subdivision of land, covered by Zone 3, includes 258 residential lots, one public park lot (Lot A) and 51 common area and alley lots owned and maintained by the Home Owners Association (HOA). Upon recordation of the Final Map and completion of the construction of the park improvements, Lot A will be dedicated to Sunrise Recreation and Parks District (SRPD).

To supplement the available funding for the long-term maintenance and replacement costs for the improvements within Lot A and the landscaping and irrigation within the new Arcadia Drive roundabout, the development was conditioned to create a new Landscape Maintenance Assessment District (LMAD).

Public amenities in Zone 3, to be maintained on an annual basis with this LMAD funding, include trees, natural grasses, irrigation systems, pedestrian/bike pathways, pathway lighting and bridges within the open-space lot (Lot A) and landscaping and irrigation system within the Arcadia Drive roundabout. On-going maintenance of the landscaped areas require routine care of trees, shrubs, and groundcover, including weed control, fertilization, mulch replacement, litter removal and irrigation systems. The pedestrian pathways and associated bridges require routine maintenance, including surface and structural maintenance, maintenance and repairs of pathway lighting and graffiti abatement.

In addition to regular annual maintenance, the facilities in Zone 3 (pedestrian/bike pathway, bridges, pathway lighting system, irrigation system, and roundabout landscape and irrigation) require periodic major repairs and/or replacement. Zone 3 provides a funding set-aside for long- term capital replacement of these items.

Figure 8.2 contains a detailed listing of items to be maintained and/or replacement of each of the items. City and the SRPD perform/manage the maintenance for the LMAD using its own forces or those of contract providers.

55 DISTRICT FINANCING/ASSESSMENT

The funding for LMAD 03-01, Zone 3 will be from annual assessments levied on property within the zone’s assessment boundary (Figure 8.1), pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972.

The district’s Maintenance Summary is contained in Figure 8.3. The Fiscal Year 2022/2023 assessments proposed for District 03-01, Zone 3 are proposed to remain the same as Fiscal Year 2021/2022. No annual adjustments are proposed for Fiscal Year 2022/2023.

METHOD OF ASSESSMENT

The method used to spread the assessments for each lot are the following:

Zone 3 consists 258 residential lots, 30 lettered HOA landscape lots, 20 alley lots, and one public park lot (Lot A).

The costs of the maintenance for the improvements within Mitchell Farms are to be allocated as follows:

The assessment for each Assessor’s Parcel is calculated by dividing the total annual coast, by the total number of residential lots within the subdivision. As follows: Annual cost/number of lots = Annual cost of $88,851.20 divided by 258 lots = $344.38 per lot per year.

The above assessment is subject to an annual adjustment not to exceed 4% beginning with FY 2021-2022.

The development is currently under construction, so the developer has agreed to maintain the landscaped areas and other features until the proposed improvements are formally accepted by the agencies (Sunrise Recreation and Parks District for Lot A and the City of Citrus Heights for the Arcadia Drive roundabout).

The district’s Assessment Roll is contained in Figure 8.4.

BOUNDARY DESCRIPTION OF AREA TO BE MAINTAINED

Historically, Zone 3 has had adequate funding to cover the annual expenditures. However, beginning in FY 19/20, Zone 3 began operating under a shortfall with insufficient revenues to offset these costs. For FY 21/22, Zone 3 had a projected shortfall of $8,192.58. Staff’s recommendation is to utilize Gas Tax revenues (Fund 205) to cover this shortfall. For FY 22/23, the fund shortfall is expected to increase to $9,018.60.

The funding for Zone 4 does not adequately cover the maintenance costs. Historically, this Zone has had a shortfall and the city has implemented cost saving measures to try and reduce the shortfall to the greatest extent possible. In past years, contributions from the city’s Gas Tax and General Fund revenues were used to balance Zone 4. For FY 21/22, Zone 4 had an estimated shortfall of $15,088.53. Staff’s recommendation is to utilize Gas Tax revenues (Fund 205) to cover this shortfall. For FY 22/23, the fund shortfall is expected to be at $14,871.50.

Since the city first took over the LMAD 97-01 from Sacramento County in 1997, the revenues have not been adequate to cover the costs in each of the zones. Over the years, many efforts have been made to reduce costs and in some cases the city has been required to increase assessment.

However, continually increasing utility rates and monthly maintenance costs as well as updated methods for allocation of the city’s overhead costs have all contributed to the increasing shortfall in Zones 3 and 4 and more recently, staff is using fund reserves in Zones 1 and 2 to balance the Agenda Packet Page 103

annual budgets. The underlying problem is that the assessment rates (outlined in Fiscal Impact, above) have remained largely unchanged since 1996 when Proposition 218, which requires a vote of those assessed to approve an increase, was passed by the California voters. Note: the property owners in Zone 2 did approve a one-time assessment increase in 2000, but annual expenditures now exceed the additional annual revenues.

Background and Analysis
The Sacramento County Landscape Maintenance Assessment District (SCLMAD) was created in 1994 by Sacramento County to consolidate eighteen separate landscape maintenance districts into a single district with five zones. Upon incorporation, the City of Citrus Heights assumed responsibility for Zone 1, and parts of Zones 2 and 4, which fell within city limits. Assessment District 97-01 (AD 97-01) was created to incorporate these maintenance areas. Zone 3 was created in Fiscal Year 2004/2005 by the city when the original Zone 4 was split.

An Engineer’s Report has been prepared for the proposed assessments and is available for review, by the public, in the City Clerk’s Office. The Engineer’s Report summarizes the maintenance efforts and recommends levying assessments at the same level as in Fiscal Year 2021/2022 for Zones 1, 2, 3, and 4.

City Council approval of a Resolution to Initiate Proceedings is the required first step in the update process. By the Resolution of Intention, the City Council approves the Engineer’s Report for the Landscape Maintenance Assessment District 97-01, Annual Update for Fiscal Year 2022/2023, sets the date for a public hearing on the assessments and directs staff to give the required notice.

Staff recommends that July 28, 2022, at 6:00 p.m., or as soon thereafter as the matter may be heard, be set as the date for the public hearing. At that time, public comment will be received and the Council will consider and adopt a resolution adopting the assessments. Notice of this meeting will be mailed and published in accordance with State Code.

Since the city took over AD 97-01 from the County, Zones 3 and 4 have been underfunded and as a result the city has used various funds, including General Fund and Gas Tax revenues, to cover the operating shortfall.

To eliminate the funding gap in Zone 3, an assessment increase was approved by the owners of the assessed properties in 2005 and the assessment increased from $42.50 to $80.00 per parcel.

Until FY 2017/2018 the increase provided enough funds to cover the costs for maintenance and utilities leaving an account balance of a few hundred dollars each year to build reserves.

However, irrigation repairs, tree maintenance, the continuing increase in utility rates, and updated methods for allocation of the City’s overhead costs have all contributed to the depletion of the existing reserves. Zone 3 continues to see a shortfall for FY 2022/2023.

Page 5 of 6 ends

To balance the Zone 4 budget, the city twice proposed to increase the annual assessment. In 2005 and again in 2009, the owners of properties within Zone 4 voted against a proposed increase in the annual assessment. In 2010, to reduce future subsidies, the city incorporated a xeriscaping (low-water and maintenance) plan to eliminate some of the more labor intensive and water consuming landscape features, such as turf, and reduced the level of service on the remaining landscaping to a minimum. There have been significant reductions in maintenance and utility costs, but the expenditures still exceeded the existing revenues for this zone. This shortfall was subsidized by the city’s General Fund. To eliminate future subsidies, the city reduced the frequency of maintenance as a pilot project (i.e., every 6 or 8 weeks instead of monthly). The budget for Zone 4 was balanced with a reduced maintenance schedule. However, after numerous complaints from the public of its poor appearance, a higher level of maintenance was reinstated during the FY 2011/2012 year and Zone 4 continues to see a projected shortfall in FY 2022/2023.

LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE ASSESSMENT DISTRICT
NO. 97-01, Zones 1, 2, 3, and 4

LEVY of FISCAL YEAR 2022/2023 ASSESSMENTS

INTRODUCTION

The City of Citrus Heights has four (4) separate Landscape Maintenance Assessment Districts (LMADs), which provide for maintenance of common areas within nine (9) distinct communities around the City. This report addresses only LMAD 97-01, which contains four (4) separate zones. The general locations for Zones 1, 2, 3, and 4 are shown on the maps on the following pages.

The Sacramento County Landscape Maintenance Assessment District (SCLMAD) was created in 1994 by Sacramento County to consolidate eighteen separate landscape maintenance districts into a single district with five zones. Zones were established based on the type of landscaping, the frequency and level of service required and geographical location.

Upon incorporation, all of Zone 1, and part of Zones 2 and 4 of the SCLMAD fell within the boundaries of the City of Citrus Heights. As a result, the City created Assessment District 97- 01 (AD 97-01) on August 13, 1997 to take over responsibility for the maintenance of the zones or portions of zones located within Citrus Heights. Subsequently, in 2004, the City split the existing Zone 4 into two separate zones, Zone 3 and Zone 4.

Funding for the District will be from annual assessments levied on property in the four zones.

The annual assessment levied on each property is related to the maintenance costs for the zone in which the parcel is located.

The following sections provide detailed explanations of each Zone. The corresponding Budget Assessment tables list the 2022/2023 sources of funds (revenues), uses of funds (direct and indirect expenditures), and the proposed assessment for each. Prior year expenditures and assessments are shown for comparison. The City has separated the accounting for each of the four zones; therefore, any noticing and balloting requirements for each of the zones will be treated independently.

Agenda Packet Page 112

4 ZONE 1

General:

Known as the Bridgemont Landscape Maintenance Zone, the limits of Zone 1 are defined by Van Maren Lane on the east; north and south of Bridgemont Way, and by Cripple Creek on the west. There are 80 parcels in this Zone, whose boundaries are particularly shown on the Assessment Diagram in Figure 1.1.

The landscape is a natural open space re-vegetation area along Cripple Creek and adjacent to Van Maren Lane. It consists of naturalized and mitigated oak tree stands and other California native plantings. An automatic drip irrigation system is no longer providing water to the re- vegetation plantings, because the plantings are already well established. Routine maintenance includes tree and shrub care, pruning, fertilization, and tree and shrub well maintenance. A minimum of two times per year, in the spring and summer, weed abatement is performed along the open space perimeter, adjacent to the homes within the district.

City performs/manages the maintenance for the LMAD using its own forces or those of contract providers. Figure 1.2 describes the maintenance specifications for the district.

Method of Assessment:

Development of the single family Bridgemont subdivision was conditioned upon establishing a funding source to provide for ongoing landscape maintenance to the re-vegetation planting and open space area. Because each of the single-family lots within the Zone was created as a result of compliance with this condition, each lot benefits in the same proportion. Therefore, the assessment costs are allocated on a per parcel basis for all parcels located in Zone 1 that currently qualify as a buildable single-family parcel per the current City of Citrus Heights Zoning Ordinances.

The Summary Analysis in Figure 1.3 shows details of the Fiscal Year 2022/2023 budget and assessments for Zone 1. The assessments are proposed to remain the same as the previous fiscal year, at $131.54 per parcel per year for a total annual assessment of $10,523.20, as this district does not allow for increasing the assessments without a vote of the effected property owners.

While this zone presently has cash reserves, the annual costs for maintenance exceeds total revenues from the assessments; it is anticipated the cash balance will be depleted by FY 2024/2025, and other revenues may be required to continue services.

This Zone’s Assessment Roll is shown in Figure 1.4.

9 ZONE 2

General:

Known as the Heather Downs Landscape Maintenance Zone, the Zone 2 limits are defined by Old Auburn Road on the south, east and west of Wickham Drive; and Mariposa Avenue on the west, north and south of Heredia Way. There are 82 parcels in this Zone, whose boundaries are more particularly shown on the Assessment Diagram in Figure 2.1.

The maintained area in Zone 2 consists of two landscape types, a natural, open space, re- vegetation area, and a street frontage (corridor). It consists of naturalized and mitigated oak tree stands, other California native plantings and an automatic drip irrigation system providing water to the re-vegetation plantings. Routine maintenance includes tree and shrub care, pruning, fertilization, and tree and shrub well maintenance. A minimum of three times per year, weed abatement mowing is performed in the open space.

The street frontage landscape includes lawn, trees, shrubs, and ground cover. Ongoing street frontage maintenance requires weekly care of the lawn, trees, shrubs, and ground cover, including weed control, fertilization, pruning, and litter removal.

City performs/manages the maintenance for the LMAD using its own forces or those of contract providers. Figure 2.2 describes the maintenance specifications for the district.

General Fund money was used to supplement this zone in the past. However, in Fiscal Year 2000/2001 the property owners within this zone voted to approve an assessment increase from $122.74 to $151.38 per parcel. This increase has historically kept the district fully funded, however, operating costs continue to increase, necessitating use of the districts reserves.

Method of Assessment:

As a condition of approval, the developer of the single family subdivision was required to establish a funding source to provide ongoing landscape maintenance. Because each of the single-family lots within the Zone was created as a result of compliance with this condition, each lot benefits in the same proportion. Therefore, the assessment costs are allocated on a per parcel basis for all parcels located in Zone 2 that currently qualify as a buildable single-family parcel per the current City of Citrus Heights Zoning Ordinances.

The Summary Analysis in Figure 2.3 shows details of the Fiscal Year 2022/2023 budget and assessments for Zone 2. The assessments for Zone 2 are proposed to remain the same as the previous fiscal year, at $151.38 per parcel per year for a total annual assessment of $12,413.16, as this district does not allow for increasing the assessments without a vote of the effected property owners. While this zone presently has cash reserves, the annual costs for maintenance exceeds total revenues from the assessments; it is anticipated the cash balance will be depleted in future years, and other revenues may be required to continue services.

14 ZONE 3

General:

Zone 4 of LMAD 97-01, as originally adopted by the City, consisted of two widely separated landscape areas with differing landscaping and maintenance responsibilities. In 2004, the City Council adopted a resolution dividing Zone 4 into two parts and thereby creating Zone 3 (previously non-existent). Zone 3 consists of the Verner Glen Subdivision (commonly known as Summerhill). There are 80 parcels in this Zone, whose boundaries are particularly shown on the Assessment Diagram in Figure 3.1.

The maintained area in Zone 3 consists of street frontage landscape including lawn, trees, shrubs, and ground cover. Ongoing street frontage maintenance requires weekly care of the lawn, trees, shrubs, and ground cover, including weed control, fertilization, pruning, and litter removal.

City performs/manages the maintenance for the LMAD using its own forces or those of contract providers. Figure 3.2 describes the maintenance specifications for the district.

General Fund money was used to supplement maintenance of landscaped areas in Zone 3 in the past. To eliminate the assessment revenue shortfall, an increase in assessment was proposed in Fiscal Year 98/99. However, the increase was unanimously opposed in the required balloting process. In 2005 an increase in the annual assessment was again proposed and subsequently the property owners approved an increase in the assessment from $42.50 to $81.88.

The assessment increase approved in 2005 along with focus ed efforts to reduce overall maintenance costs has kept Zone 3 expenditures below available revenues. However, increased monthly utility costs and the implementation of updated cost allocation procedures by the city have resulted in a shortfall of approximately $8,192.58 for FY 2021/22. With no current reserves, this shortfall w as subsidized by G as Tax funds. A shortfall of approximately $9,018.60 is anticipated for FY 22/23.

Method of Assessment:

As a condition of approval, the developer of the single family subdivision was required to establish a funding source to provide ongoing landscape maintenance. Because each of the single-family lots within the Zone was created as a result of compliance with this condition, each lot benefits in the same proportion. Therefore, the assessment costs are allocated on a per parcel basis for all parcels located in Zone 3 that currently qualify as a buildable single-family parcel per the current City of Citrus Heights Zoning Ordinances.

The Summary Analysis in Figure 3.3 shows details of the Fiscal Year 2022/2023 budget and assessments for Zone 3. The assessments for Zone 3 are proposed to remain the same as Fiscal Year 2021/2022, at $81.88 per parcel per year for a total annual assessment of $6,550.40, as this district does not allow for increasing the assessments without a vote of the effected property owners.

19 ZONE 4

General:

Zone 4, as originally adopted by the City, consisted of two widely separated landscape areas with differing landscaping and maintenance responsibilities.

As a result of the different geographical locations and maintenance responsibilities, the City Council adopted a resolution in 2004 to divide Zone 4 into two parts. The Verner Glenn (Summerhill development) was placed in the newly created Zone 3. With the creation of Zone 3, Zone 4 consists of 111 parcels located in the Villa Creekridge Subdivision. Figure 4.1 shows the boundaries of Zone 4.

City performs/manages the maintenance for the LMAD using its own forces or those of contract providers. Figure 4.2 describes the maintenance specifications for the district.

General Fund money has been used to supplement maintenance in Zone 4 in the past. To reduce the assessment revenue shortfall, staff repeatedly re-evaluated and adjusted the maintenance effort to reduce costs. In July 2007, the City Council approved detaching a portion of the maintained area from Zone 4 (landscaping along Fireweed Circle). This detached area is now maintained by a neighboring Homeowner’s Association under a special agreement. While detaching part of the maintained area has reduced the maintenance costs for the District, the projected cost to maintain the remaining area continues to exceed the anticipated revenues of Zone 4. In 2005 and again in 2009, the City proposed to increase in the annual assessment. For Fiscal Year 09/10, the proposed increase was $37.50 per parcel (from the existing assessed level of $42.50 to $80.00). However, the increase was unanimously opposed in the required balloting process.

Originally the maintained area in Zone 4 consisted of street frontage landscape including lawn, trees, shrubs, and ground cover. Ongoing street frontage maintenance requires weekly care of the lawn, trees, shrubs, and ground cover, including weed control, fertilization, pruning, and litter removal.

In 2010, to reduce future subsidies, the City implemented a xeriscaping (low-water and maintenance) plan to eliminate some of the more labor intensive and water consuming landscape features, such as turf, and reduced the level of service on the remaining landscaping to a minimum. Zone 4 now consists of street frontage landscape including trees, shrubs, and ground cover; all with monthly maintenance.

As part of these modifications, there were significant reductions in maintenance and utility costs, but the expenditures still exceeded the existing revenues for this zone. This shortfall was subsidized by the City’s General Fund.

In 2011, t o eliminate future subsidies, the City conducted a pilot project that reduced the frequency of maintenance (i.e. every 6 or 8 weeks instead of monthly). However, the monthly maintenance schedule was reinstated due to complaints on its appearance from the public. This resulted in a shortfall of $3,500 which was funded by the City’s General Fund. For the years Agenda Packet Page 129
20 since, the City has continued its monthly maintenance and has continued to supplement the shortfall using Gas Tax revenue.

For the 2021/2022 fiscal year, the increase of monthly utility costs and the implementation of updated cost allocation procedures by the city has resulted in a shortfall of $15,088.53. With no current reserves, this shortfall was subsidized by Gas Tax revenues. For fiscal year 2022/2023 the projected budget shortfall is $14,873.50.00 and again Gas Tax revenues are being budgeted to cover the shortfall.

Method of Assessment:

As a condition of approval, the developer of the single family subdivision was required to establish a funding source to provide ongoing landscape maintenance. Because each of the single-family lots within the Zone was created as a result of compliance with this condition, each lot benefits in the same proportion. Therefore, the assessment costs are allocated on a per parcel basis for all parcels located in Zone 4 that currently qualify as a buildable single-family parcel per the current City of Citrus Heights Zoning Ordinances.

The Summary Analysis in Figure 4.3 shows details of the Fiscal Year 2020/21 budget and assessments for Zone 4. The assessments for Zone 4 shall remain the same as Fiscal Year 2021/2022, at $42.50 per parcel per year for a total annual assessment of $4,717.50, as this district does not allow for increasing the assessments without a vote of the effected property owners.

This Zone’s Assessment Roll is shown in Figure 4.4.

BJECT: Citrus Heights Lighting Assessment District
Initiate Proceedings for Fiscal Year 2021/2022 Annual Update Summary and Recommendation
Each year, the city is required to update the assessments for the Citrus Heights Lighting District (CHLD). In order to accomplish this, the City Council must first adopt a Resolution Initiating Proceedings for the Fiscal Year 2022/2023 update. Next, City Council must adopt a Resolution of Intention setting the time and date for a public hearing on the proposed assessments and directing staff to publish the appropriate notice of the hearing. A draft Engineer's Report, prepared by the City Engineer, is attached hereto and describes the levels of maintenance, outlines the proposed financial summary, and includes the assessment diagram for the CHLD.

No c
hanges are recommended to the assessment rates in conjunction with the annual update of the CHLD. However, over the past fiscal year, new street lights and infrastructure have been installed at various locations throughout the City. Staff has updated the assessment role to reflect the new rates for several individual parcels that now benefit from the newly installed lighting.

St
aff recommends the City Council approve the resolutions below, in order:

Fiscal Impact
For Fiscal Year 2022/2023, the annual special assessment revenue and reimbursement from Caltrans for several shared facilities are projected to cover a portion of the CHLD’s anticipated Item 9

expenditures. However, as a result of the continuing increases to electrical power costs and the ongoing repairs related to aging equipment, the proposed Fiscal Year 2022/2023 budget reflects an anticipated shortfall of approximately $99,955.72.

Over the past fiscal year the city implemented an energy efficiency project, funded through a low interest (1%) loan granted by the California Energy Commission, to upgrade 593 street light fixtures to low energy LED models. While there has been a cost savings in electricity during FY 2021/2022, FY 2022/2023 will be the first year that repayment of the loan is required, which will be paid for using the associated energy cost savings.

A summary of the CHLD budget is as follows:

DISTRICT SHORTFALL - $75,833.73 - $105,230.72
(1) At the time this staff report was written, June 2022 utility and unscheduled maintenance costs had yet to be finalized. Costs are estimated. (2) FY 22/23 represents the first year for repayment of a low interest (1%) Energy Efficiency Loan from the California Energy Commission (CEC) for conversion of approximately 593 street lights to energy efficient models.

Actual energy cost savings will be used to repay the loan.

Although there is no impact to the General Fund, Measure A Maintenance funds (Fund 210) are proposed to supplement the special assessments to cover the CHLD budget shortfall.

With the passage of Proposition 218 in 1996, lighting assessment rates are essentially frozen and can only be changed by a two-thirds vote of the people since this is considered a special tax.

Therefore, the assessment rates were unchanged for Fiscal Year 2021/2022 and, as summarized in the table below, no changes are recommended for Fiscal Year 2022/2023.

During Fiscal Year 2021/2022, CHLD (Fund 289) had an estimated shortfall of $75,833.73, which was covered using Measure A Maintenance funds (Fund 210).

Background and Analysis
Sacramento County created County Service Area No. 1 (CSA-1) to provide revenue to operate and maintain street and safety lights throughout the County. In June 2005, the City Council voted to begin the process of detaching from CSA-1 in an effort to improve levels of service on safety and street lighting within the City. In June 2006, the City completed the process by forming the CHLD and became fully responsible for operation and maintenance of all street and safety lights within the City.

Pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, assessment districts of this type must be updated annually. A Resolution to Initiate Proceedings is required as the first action of the City Council in order to initiate the update of the CHLD. Subsequent approval of the assessments to be levied and collected will be for the purpose of meeting operating expenses and purchasing equipment or materials necessary to maintain street and safety lights for the CHLD.

By the Resolution of Intention, the City Council approves the Engineer’s Report for the CHLD Annual Update for Fiscal Year 2022/2023, sets the date for a public hearing on the assessments, and directs staff to give the required notice.

Staff recommends July 28, 2022, 6:00 p.m. or as soon thereafter, be set as the date and time for the public hearing. At that time, public comment will be received and the City Council will consider adopting required resolutions. Notice of this meeting will be published in accordance with State code.

Staff has reviewed the anticipated expenditures and revenues and has developed a Fiscal Year 2022/2023 budget for the CHLD. An Engineer’s Report has been prepared for the proposed assessments and a copy is attached. The Engineer’s Report summarizes the maintenance effort and proposes levying assessments at the same level as in Fiscal Year 2021/2022.

Through ongoing analysis of the District, the City has substantially improved the level of service related to street light maintenance and operations, and fine-tuned the scope of the annual maintenance contract. In the past several years, continued efforts by staff have resulted in reductions to the annual expenses. Currently, a total of approximately 2,041 energy efficient LED lights (approximately 43% of the District’s total inventory) have been installed and/or converted from existing street lights. Early efforts to install more efficient LED lighting and lower annual maintenance rates reduced the District’s total expenditures. However, repeated Agenda Packet Page 138
Subject: Citrus Heights Lighting District – Initiate Proceedings for Fiscal Year 22/23 Annual Update Date: July 14, 2022

Page 4 of 5 ends

increases in electric utility rates, more frequent repair of aging street lighting equipment, and damages due to auto accidents have offset these cost savings resulting in a projected shortfall of approximately $105,231 for Fiscal Year 2022/2023. The increase of the number of safety lights included in the City’s Capital Improvement Projects (CIPs) and development projects has also added additional electricity and maintenance costs. Staff proposes using Measure A Maintenance revenues to offset the estimated funding shortfall.

Staff continues to identify and evaluate additional measures to reduce District expenditures and offset rising electricity costs. In 2019, the City conducted a feasibility study evaluating the possibility to update various City-owned equipment and facilities with the goal of reducing energy costs. On April 8, 2020, the California Energy Commission (CEC) approved a low interest (1%) Energy Efficiency Loan for the implementation of an energy efficiency upgrade project consisting of a significant number of street light retrofits. In June 2021, a City-retained contractor began replacing existing street lights with LED fixtures, which was completed in October 2021. As a result of the LED upgrades, the City’s electrical bills from the Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD) decreased on average $2,243.59 per month for the six month period of December 2021 to May 2022 compared to the same timeframe the prior year.

In addition, LED convirsions have become part of the regular maintenance program and staff continue to work with the Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD) to ensure accurate billings, including quantities, type, and wattages for the entire District inventory. Monthly updates, LED conversions and changes are communicated to SMUD which are subsequently reflected in the monthly utility billings.

No major expansion of the existing system, except when included in major transportation projects funded by grants or new development projects, will be considered until additional revenues can be identified to cover the initial and ongoing costs associated with an expansion.

Since the City first took over the CHLD from Sacramento County in 2006, it was underfunded and many efforts have been made to reduce costs (i.e. installing LED lights and negotiating lower maintenance rates). However, continually increasing utility rates and monthly maintenance cost as well as updated methods for allocation of the City’s overhead costs have all contributed to the ever increasing shortfall. The underlying problem is that the assessment rates, outlined in Fiscal Impact section above, have remained unchanged since 1996 when Proposition 218, which requires a vote of those assessed to approve an increase, was passed by the California voters.

Section I: Overview
A. Contents of the Engineer’s Report
This Report describes the District boundaries and the proposed improvements to be assessed to the property owners located within the District. The Report is made up of the following sections:

Section I: Introduction and Background – Provide s a general introduction into the Report and provides background on the assessment.

Section II: Plans and Specifications – Contains a general description of the improvements that are maintained and serviced by the District.

Section III: Estimate of Costs – Identifies the cost of the maintenance and services to be provided by the District including incidental costs and expenses.

Section IV: Method of Apportionment – Describes the basis in which costs have been apportioned to lots and parcels within the District, in proportion to the special benefit received by each lot and parcel.

Section V: Assessment Roll – The assessment roll iden tifies the maximum assessment to be levied to each lot or parcel within the District.

For this Report, each lot or parcel to be assessed, refers to an individual property assigned its own Assessment Parcel Number by the Sacramento County Assessor’s Office as shown on the last equalized roll of the assessor.

B. Introduction and Background
County Service Area 1 (CSA-1) was created in 1986 by the Sacramento County Board of Supervisors (Board) by reorganizing five existing street light maintenance districts. CSA-1 provides street light services to those portions of Sacramento County that were unincorporated in 1986. Since that time, the Cities of Citrus Heights, Elk Grove and Rancho Cordova have incorporated, but street light services remained with CSA-1. On June 14, 2005 the County Board of Supervisors approved the establishment of separate zones within CSA-1 for each of the incorporated cities served. The City of Citrus Heights was identified as CSA-1 Zone 3.

The City of Citrus Heights (City) incorporated on January 1, 1997. In the time between when the City incorporated and assumed ownership of CSA-1 Zone 3, City staff worked with County staff regarding street light maintenance and repairs by forwarding requests for service from City residents to the County. CSA-1’s revenues were essentially fixed since the passage of Proposition 218 in 1996 and expenses (electricity, labor, materials, etc.) continued to rise. Ultimately, CSA-1 was forced to reduce staffing levels, which eventually increased the response time for repairs.

Believing the transfer of street light maintenance responsibilities and assessments from CSA-1 Zone 3 to the City was essential to improving maintenance response on City street lights, the Citrus Heights Agenda Packet Page 146
Citrus Heights Lighting District July 14, 2022
FY 2022/2023 Engineer’s Report Page 2

Page 2 of 10 ends

City Council adopted Resolution No. 2005-58 on June 22, 2005 advising the County Board of Supervisors of the City’s desire to detach Zone 3 from CSA-1.

After working closely with CSA-1 and the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) over the next year, on June 8, 2006, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2006-63 declaring its intent to form the Citrus Heights Lighting District. The final step in the process came on June 22, 2006, when the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2006-70 forming the Citrus Heights Lighting District (CHLD or District) pursuant to the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972, Part 2 of Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code §22500 (1972 Act). Formation of the CHLD in this way allowed the City to continue to levy the direct assessment charges previously authorized under CSA-1. The City assumed revenues and maintenance responsibilities from Sacramento County at the start of Fiscal Year 2006/2007.

This Engineer’s Report (Report) has been prepared pursuant to the 1972 Act (Part 2 of Division 15 Sections 22500 through 22679 of the Streets and Highways Code) and describes the District and the proposed assessments for the annual update. The proposed assessments are based on the historical cost to maintain the improvements, energy rates, and historical information from neighboring jurisdictions.

Assessments will be applied to those parcels that receive a special benefit from street and safety lights.

Each parcel within the District is required to be assessed proportionately for the special benefits provided to the parcel from the improvements.

Section II: Plans and Specifications
A. General Description of the District
The boundaries of the Citrus Heights Lighting District are coterminous with the boundaries of the City of Citrus Heights (see Figure 1.1). Citrus Heights is located in the northernmost section of Sacramento County along Interstate 80 and covers approximately 14 square miles.

B. Description of Services and Improvements to be Maintained All lighting improvements and facilities maintained and serviced through District assessments are owned or operated by the City of Citrus Heights or Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD).

For the purposes of the Report, charges are separated into two categories by type of light. Highway Safety Lights are those lights located at intersections, on major streets and along the rear of properties that abut major streets. Street Lights are all lights not designated as Highway Safety lights, primarily local street lighting. Maintenance services will be provided by City personnel, contractors, and SMUD. The District provides funding for all Street and Highway Safety Lighting services within the City, including, but not limited to the following activities:
 Maintenance, repair and replacement of street light poles and fixtures, including changing light bulbs, painting, photoelectric cell repair or replacement, and repairing damage caused by automobile accidents, vandalism, time and weather.
 Electrical conduit and pullbox repair and replacement due to damage by construction, vehicle accidents, and weather.
 Payment of the electrical bill for the existing street light system.

Agenda Packet Page 147
Citrus Heights Lighting District July 14, 2022
FY 2022/2023 Engineer’s Report Page 3

Page 3 of 10 ends

 Responding to constituent and business inquiries and complaints regarding street lighting.  Remedial projects for major repairs or upgrading of facilities. Engineering services are provided by General Services Department staff or by consultant.  Installation of Highway Safety Lights for highway safety purposes only along major streets and at intersections. These Safety Lights are normally installed with new construction of signalized intersections, or as a condition of development. The capital costs are typically paid through the City’s Capital Improvement Program for newly signalized intersections and by the developer for new installations adjacent to new development construction.  Street light inventory database creation and maintenance, pole numbering, and mapping to establish and keep current the number of street lights that must be maintained, as well as the condition and location of these street lights as part of an effective maintenance program.  Acquisition of land, easements, and rights of way necessary to maintain the Street and Highway Safety Lighting system.
 Administration of the District.

Maintenance means the furnishing of services and materials for the ordinary and usual operation of the public lighting facilities. This includes repair, removal, or replacement of all or part of any of the improvements or appurtenant facilities necessary for the operation of the lighting improvements.

Service means the furnishing of all labor materials, equipment, and utilities necessary to maintain and operate all public facilities provided by the City.

Based upon current maintenance records, the combined number of Street Lights and Highway Safety Lights within the Citrus Heights Lighting District is 4,810.

Section III: District Budget
A. Proposed Fiscal Year Budget
Since taking over responsibility for the lighting district from the County in June 2006, the City has identified current revenue sources and developed a clear understanding of all District expenditures.

Additionally, the City has substantially improved the level of service related to street light and highway safety light maintenance and operations and refined the procedures guiding the annual maintenance contract to reduce expenditures to a minimum.

The 2022/2023 Fiscal Year funds collected through special assessments are projected to cover the majority of the District’s anticipated expenditures. However, as a result of the increased electrical power costs and ongoing repair related to aging equipment, there is a projected total shortfall of approximately $75,834. Costs for contract unscheduled maintenance work (materials & repairs for damages due to knockdowns and aging infrastructure) are difficult to predict each year. For FY 2022/2023, the estimated costs for unscheduled maintenance work is projected to be $45,000. Cost recovery related to insurance settlements on street light knockdowns will be pursued as appropriate.

Agenda Packet Page 148
Citrus Heights Lighting District July 14, 2022
FY 2022/2023 Engineer’s Report Page 4

Page 4 of 10 ends

In the past year, the City has converted existing street lights and added new energy efficient Light Emitting Diode (LED) fixtures with roadway projects; bringing the total to approximately 2,041 LED lights citywide (43% of the District’s total inventory).

In December 2022, the City will begin paying back the low interest loan from the CEC, which expense is included in Table 1.1 at the end of this report. The bi-annual loan payment of $11,577.86 will be paid for utilizing the energy savings reflected in lower utility bills. After the 20 year payback period, District expenditures will decrease by the yearly loan payment amount.

In addition, staff regularly work with SMUD to ensure accurate billings, including quantities, type, and wattages for the entire District inventory. As street light fixtures are updated, SMUD reflects these changes in monthly utility billings.

The proposed District budget is summarized in the Budget Analysis shown on Table 1.1, including the estimated costs to provide the improvements, the collection of administrative costs and the special benefit assessment (Balance to Levy).

B. Description of Budget Items
The following is a brief description of the various components of the District budget including the sources and uses of funds, which are included in Table 1.1.

Sources of Funds – This includes the sources of funds used by the District in maintaining and servicing lighting improvements. This may include interest on any fund balance, special assessments, cost recovery and other sources.
 Interest on Fund Balance – Includes any interest earned on the balances in the District’s fund.  Special Assessments – Revenue received from assessments levied on properties within the District that benefit from the street and highway safety lights.  Cost Recovery – Revenue from cost recovery efforts associated with insurance settlements on knockdowns and/or damage to street lights and highway safety lights.

Agenda Packet Page 149

FY 2022/2023 Engineer’s Report Page 5

Page 5 of 10 ends

 Other Revenue – Contributions from the City’s General Fund or other source to offset excess expenditures.

Uses of Funds – This includes the costs of maintaining and servicing lighting improvements. This may include, but is not limited to, the costs for labor, utilities, equipment, supplies, repairs, replacements and upgrades that are required to properly maintain the items that provide a direct benefit to the District.
 Electrical Costs – Includes the cost of providing electricity to the lights. Additionally, some lights are maintained by SMUD, the cost for maintenance of these lights is also included on the utility bill.
 Professional Services – Includes costs for the City’s consultant to verify that all assessor information is correct for each parcel on the assessment role for the district. The consultant also incorporates all new parcels into the role, assessment collection fees charged by the Sacramento County Assessor’s office to collect the District assessments from property owners and disperse those proceeds to the City. Also includes costs charged by Sacramento County to levy each parcel with the approved assessment.
 Contract Maintenance (Scheduled) – Includes the contract labor associated with the monthly maintenance of the street lights and the cost of preparing and maintaining the light inventory.  Contract Maintenance (Unscheduled) – Includes work by the contractor for repairs & materials for aging infrastructure, knock-down repairs & replacements, and other work not included in the monthly scheduled maintenance program.
 Construction – Funds set aside for special projects to upgrade street and safety lights and related facilities.

Section IV: Method of Apportionment
A. General
The 1972 Act permits the establishment of assessment districts by agencies for the purpose of providing certain public improvements, which include the construction, maintenance, and servicing of street lights, traffic signals, landscaping, parks and drainage facilities.

Streets and Highways Code Section 22573 requires that maintenance assessments be levied according to benefit rather than the assessed value.
“The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly di stributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be recei ved by each such lot or parcel from the improvements.”
Section 22574 of the 1972 Act also allows the designation of zones of benefit within an assessment district if “by reason of variations in the nature, location, and extent of the improvements, the various areas will receive differing degrees of benefit from the improvements.” Agenda Packet Page 150
