Fiscal Impact

Assessment District 97-01, Zones 1 (Table No.1) and 2 (Table No. 2) are currently fully funded by their annual assessments as well as use of fund reserves as necessary; therefore, there is no fiscal impact to the General Fund for these zones.

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 25/26, Zone 3 has a projected shortfall of $9,874.64. Staff’s recommendation is to utilize Gas Tax revenues (Fund 205) to cover this shortfall. For FY 26/27, the fund shortfall is expected to be approximately $4,749.60, pending the city’s cost allocation update. As costs for maintaining landscape and appurtenance continue to increase, it will be necessary to seek additional revenue Item 9
through assessment increases. These efforts are expected to be initiated following completion of the city’s cost allocation update in FY 26/27.

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. However, aging irrigation systems, and increases in utility costs as well as maintenance costs continue to affect the districts operating budget. In past years, contributions from the City’s Gas Tax and General Fund revenues were used to balance Zone 4. For FY 25/26, Zone 4 has a projected shortfall of $19,637.03. Staff’s recommendation is to utilize Gas Tax revenues (Fund 205) to cover this shortfall. For FY 26/27, the fund shortfall is expected to be $14,732.50.

Efforts to seek additional revenues through assessments for this district are expected to be initiated following completion of the city’s cost allocation update in FY 26/27.

Item 9
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. The underlying problem is that the assessment rates (outlined in Fiscal Impact, above) have remained largely unchanged since 1996 when Proposition 218 was passed by California voters, requiring a vote of those assessed to approve an increase.

In 2000, the property owners in Zone 2 approved an immediate assessment increase and the addition of a cost-of-living increase provision to the zone. Annual expenditures in this zone have since exceeded the additional annual revenues and the cost-of-living provision will need to be implemented to ensure sufficient funding in the future.

In 2005, the property owners in Zone 3 approved a one-time assessment increase, but annual expenditures in this zone have now exceeded 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 2024/2025 for Zones 1, 3, and 4. A 2% cost of living increase in the annual assessment per parcel is proposed for Zone 2 to maintain current levels of service and sustain existing reserves.

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 2026/2027, sets the date for a public hearing on the assessments and directs staff to give the required notice.

Staff recommends that July 8, 2026, 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.

Item 9
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 projected shortfall for FY 2026/2027.

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. 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 2026/2027.

City Council has provided direction to staff to explore options for increasing assessment revenues for Zones 3 and 4. Upon completion of the City’s cost allocation study, expected to be finalized in 2026, staff will perform outreach to the effected property owners to advise of the ongoing shortfalls, provide details of maintenance, replacement and administrative costs, and will work to develop options with the residents to help eliminate or minimize ongoing subsidies.

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

LEVY of FISCAL YEAR 2026/2027 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, & 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 2025/2026 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.

Item 9
3 Item 9
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.

District Financing/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. The funding for Zone 1 is from annual assessments levied on residential parcels within the zone’s assessment boundary (Figure 1.1), pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972. 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 original annual assessment adopted for Zone 1 upon formation in 1997 was $131.54.

This Zone does not have a cost of living increase provision.

Annual Assessment:

The annual costs for maintenance in Zone 1 have historically exceed total revenues from the assessments and the Zone’s cash reserves have been used to balance the annual budget.

However, this past year, adjustments have been made to preserve the districts reserves while still maintaining a level of service. This zone does not have a provision to increase the annual assessment levied on each parcel. Therefore, as shown in Figure 1.3. “Summary Analysis”, the Fiscal Year 2025/2026 assessments for District 97-01 Zone 1 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. In the future it may be necessary to use other funding sources to cover anticipated shortfalls and/or seek approval of a cost-of-living increase provision through a property owner vote.

Item 9
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.

District Financing/Method of Assessment:

As a condition of approval, the developer of this single family subdivision was required to establish a funding source to provide ongoing landscape maintenance. The funding for Zone 2 is from annual assessments levied on residential parcels within the zone’s assessment boundary (Figure 2.1), pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972. 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 original annual assessment adopted for Zone 2 upon formation was $122.74.

The original assessment amount per parcel was insufficient to fund the Zone 2 services after just a few years, so General Fund money was used to supplement this zone. 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.

Concurrent with the approval of the assessment increase in FY 2000/2001, the property owners also voted to include a cost of living adjustment provision for Zone 2. This provision allows for an increase in the annual assessment with the percent of increase over the previous annual assessment being less than or equal to the cost of living increase based on the Bay Area Consumer Price Index for all urban consumers. In FY 2023/2024, the City began to exercise the option to adjust the assessments to inflation.

Item 9
10 Annual Assessment:

An adjustment in the annual assessment per parcel is proposed for Fiscal Year 2026/2027.

Maintenance and replacement costs for Zone 2 have continued to increase beyond the amount of revenue generated by the previous annual assessment. As a result, the City of Citrus Heights must increase the annual assessment on each assessed parcel. As shown in Figure 2.3. “Summary Analysis”, the Fiscal Year 2026/2027 assessments for District 97-01 Zone 2 are proposed to increase by 3% (rounded) to an amount of $168.70 per residential parcel. These additional revenues are necessary to support the Zone’s operations and maintenance as well as help to restore an appropriate operating reserve.

The FY 2026/2027 Assessment Roll for Zone 2 is shown in Figure 2.4.

ASSESSMENT DISTRICT 97-01 ZONE 2
Item 9
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 landscape types 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.

District Financing/Method of Assessment:

As a condition of approval, the developer of two single family subdivisions comprising the original Zone 4 was required to establish a funding source to provide ongoing landscape maintenance. The funding was from annual assessments levied on residential parcels within the zone’s assessment boundaries, pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972. 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 within the assessment boundaries that currently qualify as a buildable single-family parcel per the current City of Citrus Heights Zoning Ordinances. The original annual assessment adopted for Zone 4 upon formation was $42.50.

Upon separation in 2004, the original annual assessment of $42.50 was carried over to Zone 3.

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, but was unanimously opposed by the property owners in the required balloting process. In 2005 an increase in the annual assessment was again proposed and subsequently the property owners approved a one-time increase in the assessment from $42.50 to $81.88.

Concurrent with the assessment increase in 2005, a cost of living adjustment provision was proposed for Zone 3. However, during the property owner balloting process, this provision failed.

Annual Assessment:

The assessment increase approved in 2005 along with focused efforts to reduce overall maintenance costs kept Zone 3 expenditures below available revenues for several years.

However, increased monthly utility costs and the implementation of updated cost allocation Item 9
15 procedures by the City have resulted in a shortfall of approximately $9,874.64 for FY 2025/2026. With no current reserves, this shortfall was subsidized by Gas Tax funds. A shortfall of approximately $4,749.60 is anticipated for FY 2026/2027, pending revisions to the city’s cost allocations.

The Summary Analysis in Figure 3.3 shows details of the Fiscal Year 2026/2027 budget and assessments for Zone 3. The assessments for Zone 3 are proposed to remain the same as Fiscal Year 2025/2026 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.

The FY 2026/2027 Assessment Roll for Zone 3 is shown in Figure 3.4.

19 ZONE 4

General:

Zone 4 of LMAD 97-01 was originally adopted by the City in 1997. The original zone consisted of the Summerhill Subdivision and the Villa Creekridge Subdivision. These two single family subdivisions were on opposite sides of the City and had widely 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 subdivision) was incorporated into the newly created Zone 3 and the 111 parcel Villa Creekridge Subdivision remained in Zone 4. Figure 4.1 shows the current boundaries of Zone 4.

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.

Over the years General Fund money has been used to supplement maintenance in Zone 4. 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. In 2010 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. In a further effort to reduce subsidies, in 2011, 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.

Zone 4 now consists of street frontage landscape including trees, shrubs, and ground cover; all with monthly maintenance.

The 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.

District Financing/Method of Assessment:

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 within the assessment boundaries that Item 9
20 currently qualify as a buildable single-family parcel per the current City of Citrus Heights Zoning Ordinances. The original annual assessment adopted for Zone 4 upon formation was $42.50. Upon separation in 2004, the annual assessment for Zone 4 remained at $42.50 per assessed parcel.

General Fund money has been used to supplement maintenance of landscaped areas in Zone 4 in the past. To eliminate the assessment revenue shortfall, assessment increases were proposed in Fiscal Years 98/99, 2005/2006 and 2009/2010, but all attempts failed under majority opposition by the property owners in the required balloting process.

This Zone does not have a cost of living increase provision.

Annual Assessment:

From the beginning, General Fund revenues have been used to subsidize Zone 4 maintenance.

Efforts such as detaching part of the maintained area, replanting with low-water and low maintenance landscaping and even reducing the maintenance frequency have resulted in significant reductions in maintenance and utility costs, but the gap between maintenance expenditures and assessment revenues continues to widen.

The Summary Analysis in Figure 4.3 shows details of the Fiscal Year 2026/2027 budget and assessments for Zone 4. The assessments for Zone 4 are proposed to remain the same as Fiscal Year 2025/2026, 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. For FY 2025/2026 the projected budget shortfall is $19,637.03 and again Gas Tax revenues are being budgeted to cover the shortfall. A shortfall of approximately $14,732.50 is anticipated for FY 2026/2027, pending revisions to the city’s cost allocations.

The FY 2024/2025 Assessment Roll for Zone 4 is shown in 4.4.

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 was the first annual assessment for Zone 4, with no incurred maintenance costs to date. This development is still in final stages of construction with public improvements expected to be accepted by the City in FY 26/27.

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.

Item 10
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 on 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 2026/2027 for Districts 98-01; 98-02 Zones 1, 2, 3 and 4; and 03-01 Zones 1, 2 and 3. 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.

By the Resolution of Intention, the City Council approves the Engineer’s Report for the Landscape Maintenance Assessment District, Annual Update for Fiscal Year 2026/2027, sets the date for a public hearing on the assessments and directs staff to give the required notice.

Staff recommends July 8, 2026, at 6:00 p.m., or as soon thereafter, as the date and time 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 published in accordance with State code.

LEVY of FISCAL YEAR 2025/2026 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 gene ral locations of these district s 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 Stri p of land along the west edge of the subdivision and a strip of land along the east edge, adjacen t to Stock Ranch Road are the areas to be maintained.

Assessment District 98-02 (Zone 1), first created in 1998, is for th e maintenance of certain areas within and adjacent to the subdivisions cal led Sorensen Ranch Unit Nos. 1, 2, 3, and 4 development. All improvements are on public pr operty. 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 fe et); 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 th e maintenance of certain areas within and adjacent to the Autumnwood Subdivi sion 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 Subdi vision development. All improvements are on public property. The improved parcels to be maintained are along the north side of Antelope Road Item 10
3 (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 maintena nce of landscaping in certain dedicated public spaces within the Wyatt Ranch Subdivisi on. First annexed into Assessment District 98-02 by the City Council on November 14, 2019, the assessments for this 23 lot single- family parcel resi dential subdivision located on Lawrence Avenue on the west side of Sunrise Boulevard began in fiscal year 2022/2023. Comple tion of construction of the subdivision and acceptance of the public improvements was expected in 2024/2025. While construction is still in progress, the City will continue to levy funds to ensure a well-established replacement fund prior to taking on the maintenance of this zone.

Assessment District 03-01 (Zones 1 & 2), first created in 20 03, is for the mainte nance 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 th e maintenance of certain areas within and adjacent to the Mitchell Farms S ubdivision development. All improvements are on public property. Zone 3 provides fo r the maintenance of a large open space area (Lot A) along Arcade Creek located in the center of the deve lopment (soon 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 so und 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 maintaini ng 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 th e safety of the nearby resi dents. Therefore, the trees are regularly inspected by an arborist who sp ecializes in oak tree care and maintenance (i.e. removal, pruning and/or cabling) is performed as recommended.

On the eastern boundary of the development, th e LMAD maintains landscaping and irrigation in two planter areas adjacent to St ock 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 LM AD 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 imp rovements 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 coul d perform the work on the west edge of the subdivision. The individual property owners woul d not be a beneficiary of the access easement along the west edge of the subdivision.

Item 10
8 DISTRICT FINANCING/METHOD OF ASSESSMENT

As a condition of approval, the developer of the single family Stock Village Unit No. 1 and Unit No. 2 subdivision was required to establish a funding source to provide for ongoing maintenance to the re-vegetation planting and the sound walls and the frontage landscaping and irrigation. The funding for the District is from annual assessments levied on pr operties within the assessment boundary (Figure 1.1) pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972. 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. Theref ore, the assessment costs are allocated on a per parcel basis for all Assessment Diagram parcels lo cated in the Assessment District that could qualify as a buildable single-family parcel per the curren t City of Citrus Heights Zoning Ordinances. The original annual assessment ad opted for District 98-01 upon formation in 1998 was $158.00 per parcel.

The formation of this district also included a cost-of-living adjustment provision. Should the cost of landscape maintenance activities and utilities rise , this provision allows for the City of Citrus Heights to increase the annual assessment. Each annual increase, if any, that exceeds the amount assessed to the property owners for the prior y ears shall not exceed the cost-of-living increase based on the Bay Area Consumer Price Index for all urban consumers.

ANNUAL ASSESSMENT

Initially LMAD 98-01 was fully funded by its assessments and accumulated operating reserves in excess of those needed to address unforeseen tree and soundwall maintenance needs. As a result, in Fiscal Year 2004-2005 the annual assessment was reduced from $158 to $80. Over time this reduced assessment rate permitted the District to gradually draw down the excessive operating reserve balance to an appropriate level. However, in recent years continued increases in the costs of regular maintenance activities and utilities have resulted in the reserves being depleted below the level needed to provide for unscheduled maintenance expenditures (i.e. wall repairs, oak tree trimming and electrical system repairs). As a result, in FY 2023/2024, the City of Citrus Heights, for the first time, utilized the cost-of-living increase provision and increased the annual assessment by 3%.

An adjustment in the annual assessment per parcel is propos ed for Fiscal Year 2026/2027.

As shown in Figure 1.3. “Summary Analysis”, the Fiscal Year 2026/2027 annual assessments for District 98-01 are proposed to increase by 3% to approximately $91.80 per residential parcel, over the rates for FY 2025/2026. These additional revenues are necess ary to support the District’s continued maintenance operations and preserve an appropriate operating reserve to address unforeseen maintenance and repair expenses.

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

Landscape Maintenance Assessment District (L MAD) 98-02, Zone 1 (Sorensen Ranch), first created in 1998, is locate d west of Van Maren Lane and nort h 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 par cels 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 im proved parcels to be ma intained 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 parcel s along Campfire Way at Van Maren Lane (approximately 100 feet on the south side); Hors eman Way at Van Maren Lane (approximately 100 feet on the north and south side ); and the east side of Silver saddle Way at Oak Lakes Lane (approximately 100 feet).

The improvements to be maintained include 81 Oak trees and various c onifer 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.

The 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/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 a nd the sound walls and the frontage landscaping and irrigation.

Funding for the LMAD 98-02, Zone 1 is from annual assessments levied on properties within the assessment boundary (Figure 2.1) pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972. Because each of the single-family lots with in 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 original annual assessment adopted for District 98-02, Zone 1 upon formation in 1998 was $200.00 per parcel.

Item 10
16 ANNUAL ASSESSMENT

Initially LMAD 98-02, Zone 1, was fully funded by its assessments and accumulated operating reserves in excess of those needed to address unforeseen maintenance/repair needs. As a result, in Fiscal Year 2003-2004 the annual assessment was reduced from $200 to $100. Over time this reduced assessment rate permitted the District to gradually draw down the excessive operating reserve balance to an appropriate level. However, in recent years continued increases in the costs of regular maintenance activities and utilities have resulted in the reserves being depleted below the level needed to provide for unscheduled maintenance expenditures (i.e. soundwall repairs, oak tree trimming and irrigati on/electrical system repairs). As a result, in FY 2023/2024, the City of Citrus Heights, for the first time, utilized the cost-of-living increase provision and increased the annual assessment by 3%.

An adjustment in the annual assessment per parcel is propos ed for Fiscal Year 2026/2027.

As shown in Figure 2.3. “Summary Analysis”, the Fiscal Year 2026/2027 annual assessments for District 98-02, Zone 1, are proposed to increase by 3% over the rates for FY 2025/2026, to approximately $114.78 per residential parcel. These additional revenues are necessary to support the District’s continued maintenance operations and preserve an a ppropriate operating reserve to address unforeseen maintenance and repair expenses.

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:

Parcel 1, Parcel 2, and Parcel 3 as shown on that certain parcel map entitled “A Portion of the Southwest One-Quarter of Section 27, Township 10 North, Range 6 East, M.D.M.”, filed for record in the office of the Recorder of Sacramento County, on May 28, 1998, in Book 151 of Parcel Maps, at Page 3, and more particularly described on the Assessment Diagram contained in Figure 2.1.

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 imp rovements are on public property. There are 46 residential parcels in this district, whos e boundaries are more particularly described in 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 up on 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 subdivis ion (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 re placement, and litter removal. The pedestrian pathways require routine maintenance, including surface and struct ural maintenance, and graffiti abatement.

The facilities in Zone 2 also include masonry walls on the North and East sides of the subdivision located within Lots A, B, C, E, and the front age along 7106 Antelope Road. The walls require routine maintenance, including surface and structural maintenance, and graffiti abatement.

The walls and landscaping within the City’s Right-of-Way along the frontage of 7106 Antelope Road (APN: 204-0193-027-0000) as dedicated by se parate instrument (C ounty of Sacramento Book 20140715, Page 0721) is also included as areas to be maintained in LMAD 98-02, Zone 2.

The facilities in Zone 2 also include a drainage detention basin located in the northwest corner of the property in Lot D and a drainage detention basin located in the southeast corner of the property in Lot F. The drainage detention basins and appurtenances require routine maintenance including surface and structural maintenance, graffiti abatement, landscape maintenance, and litter removal.

Additionally, the facilities in Zone 2 include a pedestrian trail for circulation (Lots D, F, and H).

The trail will require routine maintenance and replacement.

Figure 3.2 contains a detailed listing of items to be maintained and/ or replacement of each of the items. City performs/manages the maintenance fo r the LMAD using its own forces or those of contract providers.

Item 10
25 DISTRICT FINANCING/METHOD OF ASSESSMENT

As a condition of approval, the developer of the single family Autumnwood subdivision was required to establish a funding source to prov ide 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 Roa d. Funding for the LMAD 98-02, Zone 2 is from annual assessments levied on properties within the assessment boundary (Figure 3.1) pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972. 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 original annual assessment adopted for District 98-02, Zone 2 upon formation in 2014 was $354.09 per parcel.

ANNUAL ASSESSMENT

In recent years continued increases in the costs of regular maintenance activities and utilities have resulted in LMAD 98-02, Zone 2’ s operating reserves being deplet ed below the level needed to provide for unscheduled maintenance expenditures (i.e. soundwall repairs, oak tree trimming and irrigation/electrical system repairs). As a result, in FY 2023/2024, the City of Citrus Heights, for the first time, utilized the cost-of-living increase provision and increased the annual assessment by 3%.

An adjustment in the annual assessment per parcel is propos ed for Fiscal Year 2026/2027.

As shown in Figure 3.3. “Summary Analysis”, the Fiscal Year 2026/2027 annual assessments for District 98-02, Zone 2, are proposed to again in crease by 3% (less than the maximum allowable 4%) over the rates for FY 2025/2026, to approximately $406.44 pe r residential parcel. These additional revenues are necessary to support the District’s continued maintenance operations and preserve an appropriate operating reserve to address unforeseen maintenance and repair expenses.

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

Item 10
31 DISTRICT FINANCING/METHOD OF ASSESSMENT

As a condition of approval, the developer of the single family Mariposa Creek Subdivision was required to establish a funding source to prov ide for ongoing maintenance of the landscaping, irrigation, storm drain system, creek open space, pedestrian pathways, and masonry walls located within Lots A, B, and C. Funding for LMAD 98-02, Zone 3 will be from annual assessments levied on residential parcels within the zone’s assessmen t boundary (Figure 4.1), pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972. Because each of the single-family lots within the zone was created as a result of compliance with this cond ition, 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 original annual assessment adopted for District 98-02, Zone 3 upon formation in 2018 was $753.33 per parcel.

The formation of this district also included a cost of living adjustment provision. Should the cost of landscape maintenance activities and utilities rise, this provision allows for the City of Citrus Heights to increase the annual assessment. Each annual increase, if any, shall not exceed a maximum of four percent 4%.

ANNUAL ASSESSMENT

In recent years continued increases in the costs of regular maintenance activities and utilities have resulted in LMAD 98-02 Zone 3’s operating reserves being depleted below the level needed to provide for unscheduled maintenance expenditures (i.e. soundwall repairs and irrigation/electrical system repairs). As a result, in FY 2022/2023, the City of Citrus Heights, for the first time, utilized the cost-of-living increase provision and increased the annual assessment by 3%.

An adjustment in the annual assessment per parcel is propos ed for Fiscal Year 2026/2027.

As shown in Figure 4.3. “Summary Analysis”, the Fiscal Year 2026/2027 annual assessments for District 98-02, Zone 3, are proposed to increase by 3% (less than the maximum allowable 4%) over the rates for FY 2025/2026, to approximately $864.78 per residential parcel. These additional revenues are necessary to support the district’s continued maintenance operations and preserve an appropriate operating reserve to address unforeseen maintenance and repair expenses.

As a condition of approval, the developer of the single-family Wyat t Ranch Subdivision was required to establish a funding source to prov ide for ongoing maintenance of the landscaping, irrigation, pedestrian pathways , and masonry wall located with in the Public Utility, Wall, Landscape and Pedestrian Walkway Easement. Funding for Zone 4 is 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. Because each of the single-family lots within the zone was created as a result of compliance with this cond ition, each lot benefits in the same proportion.

Item 10
37 The formation of this district also included a cost-of-living adjustment provision. Should the cost of landscape maintenance activities and utilities rise , this provision allows for the City of Citrus Heights to increase the annual assessment. Each annual increase, if any, shall not exceed a maximum of four percent 4%.

ANNUAL ASSESSMENT

Although formally created by the City Council in November 2019, no assessments were levied on the parcels in this zone until FY 2023/2024 due to the uncertainty of the Covid-19 situation and delays in construction.

An adjustment in the annual assessment per parcel is proposed for Fiscal Year 2026/2027.

Completion of construction of the subdivision and transfer of landscape maintenance responsibilities to the C ity of Citrus Heights is expected in 2026/2027. To ensure the district establishes a reserve prior to th e City assuming responsibility of Zone 3, annual assessments for District 98-02 Zone 4 are proposed to increase by 3% (less than the maximum allowable 4%) over the rates for FY 2025/2026, to approximately $421.34 per residential parcel.

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

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 tw o service areas, Zones 1 and 2. The boundaries of Zone 1 are more particularly described in the Assessment Diagram contained in Figure 6.1.

Zone 1 (Auburn Commerce District) is responsible for the landscaping along Auburn Boulevard between San Tomas Drive and Raintree Drive (both sides of the street and the medians), sound walls (surface and structural maintenance) along the east and west sides of the development and the open space north of Arcade Creek including the dr ainage basins, pedestrian trails and bridge.

The City is committ ed to the appearance of the developm ent through proper ma intenance 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 6.2 describes the maintenance specifications for the district.

DISTRICT FINANCING/METHOD OF ASSESSMENT

As a condition of approval, the developer of th e commercial zone of Stock Ranch development was required to establish a funding source to provide for ongoing maintenance of the landscaping and irrigation along Auburn Boulevard between San Tomas Drive and Raintree Drive (both sides of the street and the medians), sound walls (surface and structural maintenance) along the east and west sides of the development and the open sp ace north of Arcade Creek including the drainage basins, pedestrian trails a nd bridge. Funding for the LMAD 03-01 Zone 1 is 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.

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 calcul ated 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.

Item 10
43 METHOD OF ASSESSMENT:

An adjustment in the annual assessment rate per acre is proposed for Fiscal Year 2026/2027.

As shown in Figure 6.3. “Summary Analysis”, the Fiscal Year 2026/2027 assessments for District 03-01 Zone 1 are proposed to increase by 3% (less than the maximum allowable 4%) to approximately $2,765.54 per acre. These additional revenues are necessary to support the LMAD 03-01 Zone 1’s operations and maintenance, provided by the Sunrise Recreation and Park District and City forces, and to preserve existing operating and replacement reserves.

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/METHOD OF ASSESSMENT

As a condition of approval, the developer of th e commercial zone of Stock Ranch development was required to establish a funding source to provide fo r ongoing maintenance of 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. Funding for the District is from annual assessments levied on properties within the zone’s a ssessment boundary (Figure 7.1) pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972. The original annual assessment adopted for District 03- 01 Zone 2, upon formation in FY 2003/2004 was $82.42 per single-family residential parcel and $411.86 per acre of undeveloped/commercial property.

ANNUAL ASSESSMENT:

Initially LMAD 03-01 Zone 2 was fully funded by its assessments. However, in recent years continued increases in the costs of regular maintenance activities and utilities have resulted in the annual expenses exceeding the annual assessment revenue and operating re serves being depleted Item 10
48 to make up the difference. As a result, in FY 2023/2024, the City of Citrus Heights began exercising the cost-of-living increase provision and increased the annual assessment by 3%.

Annual adjustments in the a ssessment rate are proposed for Fiscal Year 2026/2027. As shown in Figure 7.3. “Summary Analysis”, the Fiscal Year 2026/2027 assessments for District 03- 01 Zone 2 are again proposed to increase by 3% (less than the maximum allowable 4%) over the rates charged in FY 2025/2026. This results in increases to approximately $98.36 per residential parcel and $491.70 per acre of un developed/commercial land. Th ese additional revenues are necessary to support the extensiv e maintenance needs for the dist rict, provided by the Sunrise Recreation and Park District as well as the City through contract services.

56 ASSESSMENT DISTRICT 03-01 – Zone 3 (Mitchell Farms Subdivision)

GENERAL

Landscape Maintenance Assessment District (LMAD) 03-01, Zone 3 (Mitchell Farms Subdivision), first created by City Council ac tion on April 23, 2020, is lo cated east of Sunrise Boulevard, north of Arcadia Driv e, 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 improveme nts 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 a nd maintained by the Homeowners 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 requires routine care of trees, shrubs, and groundcover, including weed control, fertili zation, 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 f acilities in Zone 3 (pedestrian/bike pathway, bridges, pathway lighting system, irrigation system, 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.

Item 10
57 DISTRICT FINANCING/METHOD OF ASSESSMENT

As a condition of approval, the developer of th e single-family Mitchell Farms Subdivision was required to establish a funding source to provide fo r ongoing maintenance of the landscaping 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. 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. Because each of the single-family lots within the zone was created as a result of compliance with this conditi on, each lot benefits in the same proportion. Therefore, the assessment costs are allocated on a per parcel basis for all asse ssment diagram parcels located in the Assessment District that qualified as a buildab le single-family parcel per the current City of Citrus Heights Zoning Ordinances.

The method used to spread the initial assessments for each lot are as follows:

• Zone 3 consists of 258 residential lots, 30 le ttered HOA landscape lots, 20 alley lots, and one public park lot (Lot A).
• The costs of the maintenance for the improve ments within Mitchell Farms are to be allocated as follows:
• The assessment for each Assessor’s Parcel is calculated by dividing the total annual cost, by the total number of residential lots wi thin 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 formation of this district also include d a cost-of-living adjustment provision. Should the cost of landscape maintenance activities and utilities rise, this provision allows for the City of Citrus Heights to increase the annual assessment by an amount not to exceed a maximum of four percent 4% per year.

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 Pa rks District for Lot A and the Ci ty of Citrus Heights for the Arcadia Drive roundabout).

ANNUAL ASSESSMENT

Annual adjustments in the assessment rate are proposed for Fiscal Year 2026/2027. As shown in Figure 8.3. “Summary Analysis”, the Fiscal Year 2026/2027 assessments for District 03- 01 Zone 3 are again proposed to increase by 3% (less than the maximum allowable 4%) over the rates charged in FY 2025/2026. This results in increases to approximately $372.62 per residential parcel. These additional revenues are necessary to support the extensive maintenance needs for the District, develop a sufficient capital replacement reserve for the extensive public facilities contained with Zone 3, such as bridges, paved trails, lighting and playground equipment, owned and maintained by the Sunrise Recreation and Park District, as well as minor maintenance services provided by the City through contract services.

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

Staff recommends the City Council approve the resolutions below, in order:

1. Resolution No. 2026-___: A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Citrus Heights, California, to Initiate Proceedings Pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 for the Citrus Heights Lighting District

2. Resolution No. 2026-___: A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Citrus Heights, California, for the Intention to Levy and Collect Assessments for Fiscal Year 2026/2027 for the Citrus Heights Lighting District
Strategic Plan Alignment
Th
is item aligns with the following Citrus Heights City Council Strategic Plan Three Year Goal:

Goal
: “Maintain Public Infrastructure and Enhance All Modes of Transportation.” Item 11
Fiscal Impact

For Fiscal Year 2026/2027, the annual special assessment revenue and reimbursement from Caltrans for several shared facilities are projected to cover a portion of the CHLD’s anticipated expenditures. However, as a result of the continuing increases in electrical power costs and the ongoing repairs related to aging equipment, the proposed Fiscal Year 2026/2027 budget reflects an anticipated shortfall of approximately $113,590.72.

In FY 21/22 the City upgraded 593 street lights to low energy LED models utilizing a low interest (1%) loan granted by the California Energy Commission. While this effort resulted in annual electricity cost savings, the City began repayment of the loan in FY 22/23 which is paid for utilizing associated energy cost savings.

During this past FY (FY 25/26),
the City added a Senior Traffic Signal and Lighting Technician to enhance in-house capability as part of the ongoing effort to reduce costs, improve operational efficiency, and increase response times. With this added staffing, it is anticipated that the scope of the existing contract for unscheduled street light maintenance (knockdowns and repairs) will be substantially reduced as this staff position will perform the majority of regular street light maintenance and initial emergency response tasks in-house.

A summary of the CHLD budget is as follows:

Description FY 25/26
Actual
FY 26/27
Anticipated
REVENUE:

Special Assessments(1) $330,941.57 $334,000.00
Shared Maintenance Cost Reimbursement from Caltrans $112.82 $115.00 Interest Earned $64.04 $65.00
Total District Funding $331,118.43 $334,180.00

EXPENDITURES:

SMUD Electric Costs(1) $243,451.26 $244,000.00
Unscheduled Maintenance Costs and Knockdowns(1) $155,737.00 $35,000.00 Streetlight Materials and Supplies(2) $20,304.47 $45,000.00 Streetlight Maintenance Salary Allocations(2) $0.00 $76,600.00 CEC Loan Repayment(3) $23,155.72 $23,155.72
Other Costs $22,891.96 $24,015.00
Total District Expenditures $465,540.41 $447,770.72

DISTRICT SHORTFALL -$134,421.98 -$113,590.72
Item 11
(1) At the time this staff report was written, June 2026 utility and June 2026 unscheduled maintenance costs had yet to be finalized. Special Assessments have yet to be finalized.

Costs are estimated.
(2) In 2026, the City hired a Senior Traffic Signal & Lighting Technician. This position is responsible to perform in-house routine street light maintenance; requiring salary allocation and material procurement.
(3) FY 26/27 represents the 5th year for repayment of a low interest (1%) Energy Efficiency Loan from the California Energy Commission (CEC) for conversion of 593 streetlights to energy efficient models. Actual energy cost savings will be used to repay the loan.

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 were effectively fixed at the rates in effect at that time unless increased by a two-thirds vote through the constituents of the City. Accordingly, the assessment rates were unchanged for Fiscal Year 25/26 and, as summarized in the table below, no changes are recommended for Fiscal Year 26/27.

Assessment Rate
FY 2026/2027 Rates
(Unchanged from FY 2025/2026 Rates)
Safety Light Only $2.56/parcel
Street Light (single family residential) $15.32/parcel
Safety and Street Light (single family residential) $17.88/parcel Safety and Street Light (non-single family
residential)
$2.56/parcel + $0.2519 per linear foot of
frontage

During Fiscal Year 25/26, CHLD (Fund 289) had a shortfall of $134,421.98, 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 funding 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 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 to initiate the update of the CHLD. Subsequent approval of the assessments to be levied and collected will provide funding for operating expenses, equipment, materials, maintenance, and contract services necessary to maintain street and safety lights for the CHLD.

Item 11
By the Resolution of Intention, the City Council approves the Engineer’s Report for the CHLD Annual Update for Fiscal Year 26/27, sets the date for a public hearing on the assessments, and directs staff to give the required notice.

Staff recommends July 8, 2026, 6:00 P.M. or as soon thereafter, be set as the date and time for the public hearing. At that time, City Council will receive public comment and consider adopting the required resolutions. Notice of this meeting will be published in accordance with State code.

Staff have reviewed the anticipated expenditures and revenues and have developed a Fiscal Year 26/27 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 25/26.

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. Over the past several years, continued staff efforts have resulted in reductions to the annual expenses. Currently, a total of 3,453 energy efficient LED lights (approximately 71.5% of the District’s total inventory) have been installed and/or converted from existing streetlights. Early efforts to install more efficient LED lighting and lower annual maintenance rates reduced the District’s total expenditures. However, continued increases in electric utility rates, increased frequency of repairs to aging street lighting infrastructure, and damages due to vehicular crashes have offset these cost savings resulting in a projected shortfall of approximately $113,590.72 for Fiscal Year 26/27. The addition of safety lights included in the City’s Capital Improvement Projects (CIPs) and development projects have also increased electricity and maintenance costs. Staff proposes using Measure A Maintenance revenue to offset the estimated funding shortfall.

Staff continue 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 streetlights 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 by 9.6% for the six-month period of December 2021 to May 2022 compared to the same timeframe the prior year.

In addition, LED conversions have become part of the regular maintenance program and staff continues 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.

As part of the City’s ongoing effort to reduce costs, improve operational efficiency, and improve response times, the City added a Senior Traffic Signal and Lighting Technician in March 2026.

With this added capability, the City anticipates substantially reducing the scope of contracted Item 11
unscheduled street light maintenance, including knockdown repairs and other corrective action.

This position will allow the City to perform the majority of routine street light maintenance and initial emergency response tasks in-house.

No major expansion of the existing system, except for improvements included in grant-funded transportation projects or new development projects, will be considered until additional revenues are identified to support both the initial capital costs and the ongoing maintenance costs associated with system expansion.

Since the City assumed responsibility for the CHLD from Sacramento County in 2006, the District has operated with limited assessment revenue, and the City has implemented multiple cost-control measures, including LED conversions, maintenance contract refinements, and inventory verification for reduced maintenance costs where feasible. However, continued increases in utility rates, aging infrastructure repair needs, vehicle-related damage, and updated methods for allocating City overhead costs have contributed to the District’s ongoing funding shortfall. The underlying funding constraint is that the assessment rates, outlined in Fiscal Impact section above, have remained unchanged since 1996 when Proposition 218 was passed by the California voters, and any increase to assessment rates would require a vote of those assessed in compliance with the applicable Proposition 218 approval process.

Section I: Overview
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 a ssessment roll identifies the maximum assessment to be levied to each lot or parcel within the District.

Section VI: Assessment Diagram – Displays a diagram of the District showing the boundaries of 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.

A. Introduction and Background
County Service Area 1 (CSA-1) was established in 1986 by the Sacramento County Board of Supervisors (Board) through the reorganizing of five existing street light maintenance districts. CSA-1 provided street light services to the unincorporated portions of Sacramento County as they existed in 1986. Since that time, the Cities of Citrus Heights, Elk Grove and Rancho Cordova have incorporated; however, responsibility for street light maintenance within these jurisdictions initially remained with CSA-1. On June 14, 2005, the County Board of Supervisors approved the creation of separate zones within CSA-1 corresponding to each incorporated city, with the City of Citrus Heights designated as CSA-1 Zone 3.

The City of Citrus Heights (City) incorporated on January 1, 1997. Between incorporation and the eventual transfer of CSA-1 Zone 3 responsibilities, City staff coordinated with County staff to facilitate street light maintenance by forwarding service requests from City residents to the County.

During this period, CSA-1 revenues remained essentially fixed due to the passage of Proposition 218 in 1996, while operating costs (electricity, labor, materials, etc.) continued to rise. As a result, CSA-1 reduced staffing levels, which in turn increased response times.

Recognizing that assuming local control of street light maintenance and assessments was essential to improving service levels, the Citrus Heights City Council adopted Resolution No. 2005-58 on June 22, 2005, formally notifying the County Board of Supervisors of the City’s intent to detach Zone 3 from CSA-1.

Item 11
Citrus Heights Lighting District June 24, 2026
FY 2026/2027 Engineer’s Report Page 2

Following coordinated efforts with CSA-1 and the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO), the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2006-63 on June 8, 2006, declaring its intent to form the Citrus Heights Lighting District. The process concluded on June 22, 2006, when the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2006-70, establishing 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 enabled the City to continue levying the direct assessments previously authorized under CSA-1. The City assumed all associated 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 annual assessments. The assessments are based on historical maintenance costs, current and projected energy rates, and comparable information from neighboring jurisdictions. Assessments will be levied on parcels that receive a special benefit from street light and highway safety lights, and each parcel is assessed proportionately to the special benefit it receives.

Section II: Plans and Specifications
A. General Description of the District
The boundaries of the Citrus Heights Lighting District are coterminous with the incorporated limits 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 encompasses 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 the Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD).

For purposes of this Report, lighting facilities are categorized into two types :

1. Highway Safety Lights - Lights located at intersections, along major roadways, and along the rear of parcels abutting major streets.

2. Street Lights - all other lighting not designated as Highway Safety Lights, generally servicing local residential and collector streets.

Maintenance and operational services are performed by City personnel, contractors, and SMUD.

District assessments provide funding for all Street and Highway Safety Lighting services within the City, including, but not limited to:
• Maintenance, repair and replacement of street light poles and fixtures, including lamp replacement, painting, photoelectric control repair or replacement, and repairs necessitated by vehicle collisions, vandalism, weathering, or normal wear. • Repair and replacement of electrical conduit, pull boxes, and related appurtenances damaged by construction activity, vehicle crashes, or environmental conditions. • Payment of electrical utility costs for the existing street light system. • Response to constituent and business inquiries and service requests related to street lighting.

Item 11
Citrus Heights Lighting District June 24, 2026
FY 2026/2027 Engineer’s Report Page 3

• Implementation of remedial projects involving major repairs or facility upgrades.

Engineering services are provided by City staff or by consultants. • Installation of Highway Safety Lights along major streets and at intersections for traffic-safety purposes. These installations typically occur as part of new signalized intersections funded through the City’s Capital Improvement Program for as conditions of development, with capital costs borne by the City of private developers.
• Creation and maintenance of the street light inventory database, including pole numbering, mapping, and condition tracking to support an effective maintenance and asset-management program.
• Acquisition of land, easements, and rights-of-way necessary for operation and maintenance of the Street and Highway Safety Lighting system.
• Administration of the District.

For purposes of this Report, maintenance refers to the provision of services and materials required for the ordinary and usual operation of the public lighting facilities, including repair, removal, or replacement of improvements or appurtenant components.

Service refers to the labor, materials, equipment, and utilities necessary to maintain and operate all public lighting 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 4,831.

Section III: District Budget
A. Proposed Fiscal Year Budget
Since assuming responsibility for the lighting district from Sacramento County in June 2006, the City has identified all revenue sources and established a comprehensive understanding of District expenditures. During this period, the City has significantly improved the level of service for street light and highway safety light maintenance and operations and refined contract administration procedures to minimize annual maintenance costs.

For the 2026/2027 Fiscal Year, special-assessment revenues are projected to fund the majority of the anticipated District expenditures. However, due to increased electrical power costs and ongoing repairs associated with aging infrastructure, a projected total shortfall of approximately $113,590.72.

Costs for contract unscheduled maintenance work (materials and repairs for damages due to knockdowns and aging infrastructure) are difficult to predict each year. For FY 2026/2027, the estimated costs for unscheduled maintenance work is projected to be $35,000.00. Cost recovery related to insurance settlements on street light knockdowns will be pursued as appropriate.

Over the past year, the City has continued converting existing fixtures and installing new energy efficient Light Emitting Diode (LED) fixtures through roadway improvement projects. As of this report, approximately 3,453 LED fixtures have been installed citywide, representing 71.5% of the District’s total inventory.

Item 11
Citrus Heights Lighting District June 24, 2026
FY 2026/2027 Engineer’s Report Page 4

Staff continues to evaluate and implement measures to reduce District expenditures and mitigate rising electricity costs. In 2019, the City conducted a feasibility study assessing opportunities to City-owned equipment and facilities to achieve long-term energy savings. On April 8, 2020, the California Energy Commission (CEC) approved a low interest (1%) Energy Efficiency Loan to support an energy- efficiency upgrade project consisting of a substantial number of street light retrofits. In June 2021, a City-retained contractor initiated replacement of existing street lights with LED fixtures, which was completed in October 2021. Following the LED conversions, the City’s SMUD electrical bills decreased by an average of 9.6% during the six-month period from December 2021 to May 2022 compared to the same period the prior year.

Repayment of the CEC loan began in December 2022, and this expenditure is included in Table 1.1 at the end of this report. The biannual loan payment of $11,577.86 is funded through the energy savings realized from reduced utility costs. Upon completion of the 20-year repayment term, District expenditures will decrease by the amount of the annual loan obligation.

In March 2026, the City added a Senior Traffic Signal and Lighting Technician to enhance in-house capability as part of the ongoing effort to reduce costs, improve operational efficiency, and increase response times. With this added staffing, the scope of the existing contract for unscheduled street light maintenance (knockdowns and repairs) will be substantially reduced as this staff position will perform the majority of regular street light maintenance and initial emergency response tasks in-house.

In addition, staff continues to coordinate with SMUD to ensure accurate utility billings, including verification of fixture quantities, fixture types, and wattages for the entire District inventory. As street light fixtures are upgraded, SMUD updates the corresponding billings to reflect the changes revised in monthly utility billings.

No major expansion of the existing system, except when included in grant-funded transportation projects or new development, will be considered until additional revenue sources are identified to support both the initial capital investment and the ongoing operations and maintenance costs associated with system expansion.

The proposed District budget is summarized in the Budget Analysis shown on Table 1.1, which outlines the estimated costs to provide lighting improvements, associated administrative expenses, 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 – Identifies the revenue sources used by the District to operate, maintain, and service the street light and safety light system. Funding sources may include interest earnings, special assessments, cost recovery revenues, and other supplemental contributions. • Interest on Fund Balance – Interest earnings accrued on the District’s fund balance. • Special Assessments – Revenue generated from assessments levied on parcels within the District that receive benefit from the street lights and highway safety lights.

Item 11
Citrus Heights Lighting District June 24, 2026
FY 2026/2027 Engineer’s Report Page 5

• Cost Recovery – Revenue received through insurance reimbursements and other recovery efforts associated with knockdowns or damage to street light and highway safety light infrastructure.
• Other Revenue – Contributions from the City’s General Fund or other supplemental sources used to offset expenditures that exceed annual assessment revenues.

Uses of Funds – Identifies the expenditures required to operate, maintain, and service the District’s lighting infrastructure. Costs may include labor, utilities, equipment, materials, supplies, repairs, replacements, and system upgrades necessary to properly maintain the assets that provide a direct benefit to the District.
• Electrical Costs – Includes the cost of electrical service for all street light facilities. For locations where SMUD retains maintenance responsibility, the associated maintenance charges are also included on the utility bill.
• Professional Services – Includes consultant services to verify assessor parcel information for all properties within the District and to incorporate new parcels into the annual assessment roll. Also includes assessment collection fees charged by the Sacramento County Assessor’s Office for collecting and remitting District assessments to the City, as well as Sacramento County fees for levying each parcel with the approved assessment. • Contract Maintenance (Scheduled) – Includes contracted labor for routine street light maintenance activities and the preparation and ongoing management of the street light inventory. Historically, these scheduled maintenance services were performed entirely by the City’s on-call electrical contractor. However; with the addition of the in-house Senior Traffic Signal and Lighting Technician in March of 2026, the need for contracted scheduled maintenance will be substantially reduced.
• Contract Maintenance (Unscheduled) – Includes contractor labor, equipment, and materials required to address unplanned repairs, including aging infrastructure failures, knock-down repairs and replacements, and other corrective work outside the scope of the scheduled monthly maintenance program.
• Construction – Funds allocated for special projects involving upgrades or modifications to street light and safety light infrastructure and associated facilities.

The 1972 Landscape and Lighting Act authorizes local agencies to form assessment districts for the construction, operation, maintenance, and servicing of public improvements, including street lighting systems, traffic signals, landscaping, parks and drainage facilities.

Pursuant to Streets and Highways Code Section 22573, assessments for maintenance must be levied in proportion to the special benefit received, rather than based on the assessed value of the property. “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 Item 11
Citrus Heights Lighting District June 24, 2026
FY 2026/2027 Engineer’s Report Page 6

in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements.”
Section 22574 of the 1972 Act authorizes the establishment 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.” In addition, Article XIIID of the California Constitution and the Implementation Act require that a parcel’s assessment not exceed the reasonable cost for the proportional special benefit conferred to that parcel. Article XIIID and the Implementation Act further specify that only special benefits are assessable and the City must separate the general benefits from the special benefits. They also require that publicly owned properties which specifically benefit from the improvements be assessed.

A. Special Benefit Analysis
All properties within the District receive a special benefit from the enhanced safety provided by Highway Safety Lights, which illuminate major roadways and intersections. This lighting improves driver visibility of traffic controls (stop signs, yield signs), street name signs, and pedestrians during nighttime conditions, and assists emergency service providers (police, fire, etc.) in locating properties within the District.

In addition to the Highway Safety Light special benefit, individual parcels may receive a parcel- specific special benefit from the presence of a Street Light located on or near the parcel which enhances safety/security in the area. For a parcel to receive this safety/security benefit from street lighting, fifty percent or more of the property’s frontage must be illuminated (based on the road width and spacing of the lights found in the County of Sacramento Improvement Standards). The Street Lighting service charge is apportioned only to those parcels that benefit directly from street lighting.

A distinction is made between residential and non-residential benefit parcels based on zoning. This results in a flat rate service charge on each residential benefit parcel and a service charge per front foot on each non-residential benefit parcel.

The formula used for calculating the District assessment reflects the composition of the parcels, the improvements and the services provided, and fairly proportions the costs based on special benefit to each parcel. Only parcels receiving benefit from Street Lights and Highway Safety Lights are assessed.

General Benefits
There are no general benefits related to Highway Safety Lights or Street Lights.

B. Assessment Methodology
When the original CSA-1 was established the assessment methodology was as follows:

Highway Safety Lighting – All properties are considered to benefit equally from Safety Lighting, as defined above in Special Benefit Analysis. As such, all parcels within CSA-1 were levied a flat rate calculated by the following formula:

Safety Light Maintenance Cost/Total Parcels = Levy per parcel Item 11
Citrus Heights Lighting District June 24, 2026
FY 2026/2027 Engineer’s Report Page 7

Street Lighting – Only properties that benefit from a street light are levied this assessment. Service charges for parcels that benefit from both safety and street lights are classified as residential parcels or non-residential parcels with separate services charges as follows:

Residential Parcels (Zoned RD1, RD2, RD3, RD4, RD5, RD7): The service charge for a residential parcel was levied utilizing the following formula:

Street Light Maintenance Cost * % of Residential lights / Residential Parcels = Levy per residential parcel
Non-Residential Parcels (all other zoning): The service charge for a residential parcel was levied utilizing the following formula:

Street Light Maintenance Cost * % of Non-Residential lights / Non- Residential Front Footage of Parcels = Levy per linear feet of non-residential front footage Levy per linear feet of non-residential front footage * Non-Residential Parcel Front Footage = Levy per Parcel
The passage of Proposition 218 in 1996 mandated that assessment increases must be approved by a two-thirds vote of the assessed property owners. As a result, the assessment rates for the Sacramento County’s CSA-1 were essentially frozen at the levels in effect at that time. These same rates remained in place and were carried over in 2006 upon creation of the Citrus Heights Lighting District, and have not increased since then. The current assessment methodology is therefore:

Highway Safety Lighting – All properties are considered to benefit equally from Safety Lighting, as defined above in Special Benefit Analysis. The service charge per parcel is equal to $2.56 per year.

Residential Parcels (Zoned RD1, RD2, RD3, RD4, RD5, RD7): The service charge for a residential parcel is equal to $15.32 per year.

Non-Residential Parcels (all other zoning): The service charge for a non-residential parcel is equal to $0.2519 per linear foot length of the parcel’s public street frontage.

Exempt – Exempt from the assessment would be the areas of public streets and other roadways (typically not assigned an APN by the County), dedicated public easements, open space areas and rights of ways including public greenbelts and parkways. Also exempt from assessment would be utility rights of ways, common areas (such as in condominium complexes), landlocked parcels, small parcels vacated by City/County, bifurcated lots, and any other property that cannot be developed.

These types of parcels have little or no value and therefore do not benefit from the improvements.

Land use classification for each parcel is based on the Sacramento County Assessor’s Roll. Zoning classification for each parcel is based on the City of Citrus Heights Zoning Map.

C. Assessment Rates
The Fiscal Year 2026/2027 assessment rates for the District are proposed to remain the same as Fiscal Year 2025/2026. The following shows the assessments proposed to be levied:

Street Lighting
Residential (Zoned RD1, RD2, RD 3, RD4, RD5, RD7) $15.32 per parcel Non-Residential (all other z ones) $0.2519 per front foot Highway Safety Lighting
All parcels (except ‘Exe mpt’) $2.56 per parcel
Section V: Assessment Roll
Parcel identification for all lots or parcels within the District shall be based on the parcel information shown on the Sacramento County Assessor’s maps for the fiscal year in which this Report is prepared.

Non-assessable lots or parcels include all developed non-residential parcels, vacant parcels, government-owned and public utility-owned parcels, land principally encumbered with public rights- of-way and other tax-exempt parcels such as common areas or open space for which the County does not generate a tax bill. These parcels will not be assessed for the District improvements.

A listing of parcels assessed within this District, along with the proposed assessment amounts, is on file with the City Clerk and is incorporated by reference into this Report. Said listing of parcels to be assessed shall be submitted to the County Auditor/Controller and included on the property tax roll for each parcel in FY 2026/2027. If any parcel submitted for collection is identified by the County Auditor/Controller to be an invalid parcel number for the current fiscal year, a corrected parcel number and/or new parcel numbers will be identified and resubmitted to the County Auditor/Controller. The assessment amount to be levied and collected for the resubmitted parcel(s) shall be based on the method of apportionment and the assessment rate approved in this Report. Therefore, if a single parcel has changed to multiple parcels, the assessment amount applied to each of the new parcels shall be recalculated and applied according to the approved method of apportionment and assessment rate rather than a proportionate share of the original assessment.

BJECT: Review the Sacramento Stormwater Quality Partnership Program and Authorize FY 2026/2027 Expenditures
Recommendation
The Sacramento Stormwater Quality Partnership (SSQP) oversees and manages implementation of regional stormwater related activities including monitoring target pollutant programs, regional public outreach, regional commercial/industrial program, new development, and program management.

In 2012, t
he City entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the other partnership agencies in the Sacramento Region regarding administrative responsibilities and apportionment of costs regarding the region’s National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit specifying that the City of Citrus Heights is responsible for 5.9% of the annual costs associated with this partnership.

Sta
ff recommends the City Council adopt Resolution 2026-_______, a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Citrus Heights, California, authorizing the City Manager or designee to expend stormwater funds for the City of Citrus Heights’ shared cost of joint implemented Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System requirements with the Sacramento Stormwater Quality Partnership.

Strategic Plan Alignment
This item is in alignment with the following City Council priority:

Goal: Maintain Public Infrastructure and Enhance All Modes of Transportation.

Fiscal Impact
The FY 2026/2027Storm Water Utility Fund (Fund 209) budget includes funding in the amount of $81,892.00 for the proposed service agreement.

Item 12
Background and Analysis
The City of Citrus Heights has a Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permit from the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) and is one of seven agencies grouped together in Sacramento County. Citrus Heights shares the same requirements in the permit as all partnership agencies, though the requirements can be split into two basic categories - individual and joint compliance activities. The SSQP was established to coordinate the joint compliance activities.

In 2012, the City entered into an MOU with the SSQP regarding administrative responsibilities and cost apportionment. The cost apportionment is based on the relative population of each agency, and for the City of Citrus Heights the apportionment is currently 5.9%.

The compliance activities provided by the SSQP include the following:

• Monitoring and Target Pollutant Program
Stormwater monitoring and regulatory support services, Delta Regional Monitoring Program, and technical expertise on stormwater policy and regulations. • Regional Public Outreach Program
General and community based outreach.
• Regional Commercial/Industrial Program and New Development Design manual and updates to be used for construction documents and post-construction water quality compliance.
• Program Management
Administer and manage the Partnership’s Regional Stormwater Quality Program to ensure continued compliance with the MS4 General Permit.

The total anticipated cost for participation in the partnership for FY 2026/2027 is $81,892.00 (City’s 5.9% share of total costs). A summary of the City’s FY 2026/2027 contributions is included as Exhibit A.
