ASSESSMENT RATES
The assessment rates can be adjusted up or down on an annual basis as long as the rates do not exceed the maximum established rates. The adjustments are made to ensure adequate funding to cover anticipated costs.
Since FY 2014-2015, a number of assessment rate increases and decreases have been made. A history of the rates since FY 2014-2015, as well as proposed rates and full assessments for the seven zones are presented in Table 4 on page 6 of this report. *goal W

Therefore, while these non -assessment revenues have historically been allocated to annually to the Residential Street Lighting it 1, Non -Residential Street Lighting Zone 2, Petition Installation Street Lighting Zone 4, and Regional Shopping Center Street Lighting Zone 5 based on the ad valorem revenue associated with the parcels within those respective Zones, for fiscal year 2022/2023 this ad valorem revenue and associated fund balances have been redistributed across the District Zones based on proportional expenditures.

As required by the 1972 Act, this Engineer's Report describes the improvements to be provided, maintained, and serviced by the District, an estimated budget for the District improvements, and the proposed assessments to be levied upon each assessable lot or parcel within the District for fiscal year 2O22/2O23.
While the budgets outlined in this Report reflect the estimated costs necessary to fully and adequately provide for the maintenance and operation of the improvements within the District, in some circumstances the estimated costs and associated services may not be fully funded by the combination of the current special benefit maeeeennent nevenuas, available fund balances, and the City contribution for general benefits. Therefore, in addition to the City's contribution for general benefit cme1e, at the discretion of the City Council, the City may also provide additional funding tosupport the improvements and/or implement service reductions for the fiscal year. To fully fund the improvements that are considered special benefits, itmay benecessary inthe future to increase assessment revenues which would require the support of the property owners for new or increased assessments through e ballot proceeding conducted under the provisions of the California Constitution Article X||| D.

egislative Authority and Provisions
1972 Act
The 1972 Act permits the establishment of assessment districts by agencies for the purpose of providing certain public improvements, including the acquisition, construction, installation and servicing of landscape improvements and related facilities. The 1972 Act requires that the cost of these improvements be levied according to benefit rather than assessed value:
Section 22573 defines the net amount to be assessed as follows:
"The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements. "
Section 22574 provides for zones as follows:
"The diagram and assessment may classify various areas within an assessment district into different zones where, 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.
A zone shall consist of all territory which will receive substantially the same degree of benefit from the improvements."

Downey Lighting and Landscaping Assessment District No. 121 Engineer's Annual Report
Fiscal Year 2022/2023
"4n agency which proposes to levy an assessment shall identify all parcels which will have a special benefit conferred upon them and will be imposed. The proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel shall be determined in relationship to the entirety of the capital cost of a public improvement, the maintenance and operation expenses of a public improvement, or the cost of the property related service being provided. No assessment shall be imposed on any parcel which exceeds the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel. " Special Benefits
The ongoing maintenance of landscaped areas and tree trimming within the District provide aesthetic benefits to the properties within the District and a more pleasant environment to vva|k. drive, live, and work. The primary function of the landscape improvements and related amenities is to serve as an aesthetically pleasing enhancement of the immediate area for the benefit of the surrounding properties and developments for which the improvements were installed and/or were facilitated by the development or potential development of properties. These improvements are an integral part of the physical environment associated with the parcels in the City and while some of these improvements may in pert be visible to properties outside the City or by the public at |orQe, collectively if the improvements are not properly nna|nbained, it is the developed parcels within the City and District that would be aesthetically burdened. Add|tiono||y, the street landscaping and trees serve asboth aphysical buffer mowell aaosound reduction buffer between the roadways and the properties in the District and serve as o pleasant aesthetic amenity that enhances the approach to the parcels and overall serve as an extension of the physical attributes of the parcels gmeeesed, similar to the private property landscaping associated with each parcel assessed. These green space areas may also provide a greater opportunity for recreation. As a namu|t. the maintenance of these landscaped improvements provides particular and distinct benefits tothe properties and developments within the District.
L|hevvme. etnaed lighting in the District is phnnahb useful for illuminating the streets that provide access tothe properties inthe District aswell oethe sidewalks and parking lanes associated with those properties. While it is recognized that both street lights and traffic eiQno|e serve in part to enhance traffic safety, installation and construction of these improvements are clearly required by the development of properties within the District and these improvements provide three main special benefits to those properties: (i) property security benefit, (ii) pedestrian safety benefit, and (iii) parkway/roadway egress benefit. Furthmrnnone, because traffic circulation in the City is largely the result of local traffic to and from these properties by the property owners and guaete, it is reasonable to assume that these properties derive a particular and distinct benefit from the street lights and traffic o|gne|e that support the safe access to the properties and essentially all pedestrians and perking vehicles in the lit areas will, after dark, be directly associated with the assessed properties. As a result, the maintenance of these lighting improvements is a particular and distinct benefit tothe properties and developments within each Zone.
Downey Lighting and Landscaping Assessment District No. 121 ILL Engineer's Annual Report
Fiscal Year 2022/2023
Together with the baseline general benefit costs and the indirect/incidental general benefit costs identified above, it is reasonable to conclude that the overall general benefit costs associated with the various District/Zone landscape improvements is less than seven percent (7%) of the regular annual maintenance expenditures. These general benefit costs shall be excluded from the special benefit assessment funding and not assessed to the parcels within District. However, to ensure that no parcel is assessed for more than its proportional special benefit for local landscaping improvements, for fiscal year 2022/2023 the City will contribute for general benefit an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the estimated Annual Maintenance Expenditures and Administration Expenses budgeted for Zone L.
In reviewing the location and extent of the specific lighting improvements (local street lighting, arterial street lighting and traffic signals) to be funded by District assessments and the proximity and relationship to properties to be assessed, like the landscaping improvements it is evident these improvements were primarily installed in connection with the development of or are improvements that would otherwise be shared by and required for the development of properties.
It is also evident that the maintenance and servicing of these improvements has a direct and particular impact (special benefit) on those properties in proximity to those improvements and such improvements beyond that which is required for traffic circulation to ensure the safety and protection of the general public and property in general, has no benefit to the public at large or properties outside each respective Zone.
The Lighting Zones are comprised of properties that receive a particular and direct benefit from local street lights that were installed as part of the overall development or planned development of the properties to be assessed and the street lights would for the most part would otherwise not be necessary or required without the development of those properties. Likewise, only those properties and developments that are adjacent to or in close proximity to street light improvements and benefit directly from those improvements are included in the Zones. Because these improvements are directly associated with the development of the properties within the Zone and clearly provide a special benefit to these properties that is not shared by all properties in the District, it is certainly reasonable to conclude that the maintenance and operation of these improvements is largely if not entirely a special benefit to those properties assessed. However, based on a review of the City's development and street lighting standards it is estimated that not more than thirty-five percent (35%) of the local street lights within residential areas are located on the perimeter of the developments (collector streets) that are shared by those properties and developments. It is reasonable to conclude that these particular street lights not only provide a special benefit to properties in the Zone but may also enhance general nighttime traffic safety and circulation for other properties and the general public. While these street lights are clearly the direct result of the adjacent or nearby property development, it is estimated based on general traffic circulation data for residential and collector streets, that less than half (50%) of these particular street lights and associated costs would be necessary in less concentrated development areas. Therefore, it has been determined that the general benefit related to the operation and maintenance of these particular perimeter residential street lights is no more than eighteen percent (18%) of the local streetlight operating costs (half of the approximate 35% associated with the perimeter and collector lights).
However, to ensure that no parcel is assessed for more than its proportional special benefit for local street lighting, for fiscal year 2022/2023 the City will contribute for general benefit an amount equal to twenty percent (20%) of the estimated Annual Maintenance Expenditures and Administration Expenses budgeted for local street lighting.

Streets within this zone have been improved with mid -block lighting. Since streets provi&� vehicular and pedestrian access to commercial properties, the special benefit is apportioned based on the amount of these trips generated by each parcel. The Institute of Transportation Engineers has established a standard of trip generation that states that pedestrian and vehicle trips increase as the square footage of the land use increases. In general, larger parcels generat; more trips. Therefore, every parcel in this zone is assessed according to the land square footage of the parcel. This basis provides an equitable relationship to the benefit received.

Zone 3: Safety Lighting and Traffic Signals Account 23-4-5613 Direct assessments in this zone are separated according to the proportion of residential and commercial properties in the City. Since streets provide vehicular and pedestrian access to properties, the special benefit is apportioned based on the amount of these trips generated by each parcel. Given that residential and commercial properties generate different levels of street use, the assessment rates are calculated separately. Approximately 75% of the City is zoned Residential, while the remaining 25% is comprised of Commercial, Industrial, or other and the assessments are proportionately allocated the same.

Calculation of Assessments
An assessment amount per Equivalent Benefit Unit ("EBU") either assessment amount per residential unit or assessment amount per non-residential parcel square footage for each Zone is calculated by:
Taking the "Total Annual Expenses" (Total budgeted costs) and subtracting the "General Benefit Total Annual Expenses — General Benefit Expenses = Total Eligible Special Benefit Expenses To the resulting "Eligible Special Benefit Expenses", various "Funding Adjustments/Contribution may be applied that may include, but are not limited to: I )-w "Additional Property Tax & Other Revenues Applied", represents additional property tax revenues or revenues available from other sources such as interest earnings that was not used to fund general benefit costs that is being applied to reduce the amount to be levied and collected.

"Reserve Fund Collection (Transfer/Deduction)", represents an amount being collected for Operational Reserves or available existing funds from the "Operational Reserve Fund Balance" being applied to pay a portion of the Special Benefit Expenses for the fiscal year. "Additional City Contribution and/or Service Reductions", represents a further adjustment that addresses the funding gap between the amount budgeted to provide the improvements and services ("Special Benefit Expenses"); and the amount that will be collected through the assessments. This funding gap may be addressed by an additional City contribution, reductions in service and service expenses, or a combination of the two.
These adjustments to the Special Benefit Expenses result in the net special benefit amount to assessed "Balance to Levy";

The following outlines the estimated costs to maintain and eamine the various landscaping and lighting improvements described in "Part| - Plans and Soecificatonm"ofthis Report for fiscal year 2022/2023. In some oaseo, the costs to 9nu9edy service and maintain the improvements cannot be fully funded by the existing assessment revenues. Even with some additional funding support from the C|tv, many of the desired services and activibes, particularly those associated with long term nopaira, replacements and rehabilitation may need to be postponed or eliminated. While City staff will U|bnnate|y determine which services and activities shall be eliminated or reduced to keep the actual costs and expenditures for the fiscal year within the current available revenues, the revenue shortfalls are expected to increase over the years as aresult ofinflation. Tothe extent any assessment funds remain after those funds are used topay the cost of the special benefit in any particular Zone, those monies shall be placed in a reserve account for the respective Zone.
The City annually receives ad valorem funding for lighting and landscaping. These general fund revenues are used to fund in whole or in pert. the General Benefit Expenses and/or Additional City Contributions in specified Zones. For fiscal year 2022/2023 the ad valorem revenues total an estimated $750.823.00xvhioh is allocated tothe various Zones as needed.
