SUBJECT: ENGINEER'S REPORT FOR ASSESSMENTS WITHIN LIGHTING AND LANDSCAPING ASSESSMENT DISTRICT 121 FOR FISCAL YEAR 2023-2024

AND SETTING DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE ADOPTION OF THE

ANNUAL LEVY

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City Council will consider adopting Resolution No. 23-8177 approving the Engineer’s Report for Assessments within the Lighting and Landscaping District, Assessment District 121, and Resolution No. 23-8178 declaring the City Council’s intention of levying and collecting the assessments from the property owners, and setting the date of public hearing for July 25, 2023 to adopt the proposed annual levy. The annual Engineer’s Report for the Fiscal Year (FY) 2023-2024 Lighting & Landscaping Assessment District (AD121) is complete. This report contains the methodology and supporting calculations for determining the assessment rates to be levied against the property owners located within the district during FY 2023-2024 for the owners’ pro-rata shares of the estimated maintenance and operating costs of the City’s street lights, traffic signals, and street landscaping.

RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council:

1. Adopt Resolution No. 23-8177 approving the Engineer’s Report for Assessments within the Lighting and Landscaping District, Assessment District 121, for Fiscal Year 2023-2024; and

2.Adopt Resolution No. 23-8178 declaring its intention to Levy and Collect Lighting and Landscaping Assessments within the Lighting and Landscaping District, Assessment District 121, for Fiscal Year 2023-2024; and set a Public Hearing for July 25, 2023 on the proposed assessments.

BACKGROUND
There are 6,643 street lights that provide illumination for vehicular traffic and pedestrian safety in the City. Of the said total, 2,234 street lights are owned by the City, 57 are owned by Caltrans, 33 are shared with other municipalities, and 4,409 are owned by Southern California

Edison Company (SCE). Similarly, the City has a total of 118 traffic signals, including 9 that are operated and maintained by Caltrans and 14 that are shared with adjoining agencies.

There is also a total of 672 safety lights within the City, 542 of which are City-owned, 89 of which are shared with other agencies, and 41 of which are owned by the State. The City has a total of 16 (eight-pair) flashing beacons and 28 solar-powered vehicle speed feedback signs.

The costs for maintaining and servicing the street lights, safety lights, flashing beacons, vehicle speed feedback signs, and traffic signals are paid from a combination of assessments on individual parcels under Lighting and Landscaping Assessment District (AD) 121, originally established by the City Council in accordance with the provisions of Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 (Act) on July 18, 1978, as well as revenues from general property taxes, also referred to as Ad Valorem Tax. These assessments appear on the Los Angeles County property tax bills.

Funding for on-street landscaping maintenance is also paid from direct assessments under the same Act. This assessment provides funds for tree trimming, tree removals, and tree planting along parkways and medians of public streets and City-owned rights-of-way in the City of Downey.

ANALYSIS

Pursuant to the adoption of Resolution No. 23-8154 by the City Council on February 28, 2023, the Annual Engineer’s Report for FY 2023-2024, attached hereto as Exhibit “A” of Attachment A, is complete and ready for City Council consideration and approval. The Engineer’s Report contains the methodology used to determine the assessment rates of the various zones within AD 121 for the subsequent fiscal year beginning July 1 based on the total number of dwelling units for residential uses, total square footage for non-residential uses, and total projected expenditures within each zone.

A total of 9 parcels, consisting of 8 residential and 1 commercial-zoned parcel, will be added to Zones I and II, respectively, to the District this fiscal year. The residential parcels are located at 7136 Pellet Street and 7136 Pellet Street, Unit A; 11613 Adenmoor Avenue and 11613 Adenmoor Avenue, Unit A; 10225, 10224, and 10538 La Reina Avenue and 11701 Rives Avenue. The commercial parcel is located at 9432 Telegraph Road.

For purposes of calculating the assessments, the District is divided into seven zones. A summary of the zones, including the maximum assessment rates for individual residential parcels and commercial areas is provided in Table 1.

DISTRICT CHANGES FOR FISCAL YEAR 2023-2024

For FY 2023-2024, there are no notable or substantial changes to the District boundaries and/or improvements since the adoption of the FY 2022-2023 Annual Engineer’s Report.

However, based on research conducted with the cooperation of the Los Angeles County Auditor-Controller’s Office, it was determined that the Ad Valorem revenue collected as part of the one-percent general property taxes on various parcels within the City and allocated to this

LIGHTING & LANDSCAPING ASSESSMENT DISTRICT 121
JUNE 27, 2023
PAGE 3

District does not have any identified restrictions other than the allocation of the funds is specifically for this District. Therefore, while these non-assessment revenues have been historically allocated annually to the Residential Street Lighting (Zone 1), Non-Residential Street Lighting (Zone 2), Street Lighting Installed by Petition (Zone 4), and Stonewood Regional Shopping Center Lighting (Zone 5) based on the Ad Valorem revenues associated with the parcels within these respective zones, the Ad Valorem revenues, and associated fund balances have been redistributed across the District zones based on proportional expenditures for FY 2023-2024.

ELECTRICITY RATES

Energy costs are a combination of SCE charges. SCE utilizes an “LS” rate schedule for street lights, with rates for SCE-owned lighting (LS-1) higher than for City-owned equipment (LS-2 & LS-3). The SCE “OL-1” rate is for non-highway area lighting, whereas the “TC-1” rate schedule applies to traffic control signals and corresponding intersection lighting. A conservative

LIGHTING & LANDSCAPING ASSESSMENT DISTRICT 121

PAGE 4

estimated of a five percent increase in energy rates was assumed for Calendar Year (CY) 2024 and are summarized below in Table 2, along with the actual rates during CY 2023.

Table 2 - Summary of Energy Charge (cents/kilowatt-hour)

CAPITAL PROJECT, OPERATING, & MAINTENANCE COSTS

As indicated in Table 3 below, the estimated cost for operating, maintaining, and upgrading the street lighting and landscaping in all seven zones for FY 2023-2024 is $3,512,461, a $1,306,218 increase compared to the FY 2022-2023 adopted budget amount of $2,206,243.

Current and anticipated SCE energy rates are incorporated into the FY 2023-2024 cost estimates for all street lighting and traffic signal zones. Table 3 also provides historical expenses by zone. In Zone I, costs are expected to increase by $482,070 in FY 2023-2024 compared to the current fiscal year, primarily due to increases in personnel and energy costs and funds budgeted to cover the cost of future street lighting installations, contingencies, and reserves. For this reason, as well as the proposed reallocation of zone balances as of June 30, 2023, resulting in less Ad Valorem property tax revenues than this zone typically has received annually in the past, an estimated $384,911 balance in this zone by June 30, 2023, will result. In Zone III, costs are expected to increase by $421,620, mainly due to increases in maintenance costs and funds budgeted to cover contingencies and reserves. W ith the reallocated zone balances, an estimated $574,495 balance in this zone will remain by June 30, 2023.

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 is available to cover anticipated costs.

Since FY 2015-2016, a number of assessment rate increases and decreases have been made.

A history of the rates since FY 2015-2016, as well as proposed rates and full assessments for the seven zones, are presented in Table 4 on page 7 of this report.

Overall, costs to operate, maintain, and upgrade the District are expected to increase in FY 2023-2024. There continues to be a lack of revenue growth from additional sources (general property or Ad Valorem taxes and interest income). In addition, only nine properties have joined the district during the current fiscal year. However, with the redistribution of said revenues, adequate fund reserves are expected to be available to achieve a positive fund balance in Zone L (see Table 5 on page 8), which has had a historic running negative balance over the past several years. To avoid future negative balances, the maximum rate levels will be assessed for this zone (see Table 4).

The number of residential parcels contributing to Zone I has increased by eight parcels and the number of commercial parcels contributing to Zone II has increased by one parcel during the current FY 2022-2023. The residential parcels are located at 7136 Pellet Street and 7136 Pellet Street, Unit A; 11613 Adenmoor Avenue and 11613 Adenmoor Avenue, Unit A; 10225, 10224, and 10538 La Reina Avenue and 11701 Rives Avenue. The commercial parcel is located at 9432 Telegraph Road. Notwithstanding the fact that Ad Valorem property taxes have not been allocated to Zone I during the current fiscal year, a positive fund balance is projected for this zone through the end of FY 2022-2023 due to the fact that the parcels within this zone are now being assessed beginning the current fiscal year. As previously indicated, the City reallocated the Ad Valorem property tax revenues among the zones more equitably beginning in FY 2022-2023 and will consider conducting a Proposition 218 assessment rate study in the future to investigate the feasibility of increasing the maximum rates in any of the zones which have recurring negative balances.

Table 5 provides a summary of the funding sources, estimated costs, and year-end balances for FY 2022-2023 and projected costs and funding sources for FY 2023-2024. Two separate year-end balances for FY 2022-2023 are provided in Table 5, one without the redistributed balance (based on the Ad Valorem property tax allocated to Zones 1, 2, 4, and 5 only in the traditional manner) and with the redistributed balance (based on the reallocated Ad Valorem property tax per FY 2022-2023 proportional expenditures).

In Zone III, generally increasing traffic signal, safety lighting, flashing beacon, and vehicle speed feedback sign maintenance costs have resulted in a negative balance over the past several years. As of June 30, 2023, an estimated positive balance of $571,795 is anticipated based on the reallocated zone balances (see Table 5). At this time, both residential and commercial properties in Zone III are charged the maximum set rates, and Zone III received no Ad Valorem property tax revenue prior to FY 2022-2023. With the estimated FY 2023-2024

LIGHTING & LANDSCAPING ASSESSMENT DISTRICT 121
JUNE 27, 2023
PAGE 6

costs for the maintenance of traffic signals, safety lights, flashing beacons, and vehicle speed feedback signs, and the infusion of Ad Valorem property tax and assessment revenues based on the maximum allowable rates will leave this zone with an estimated net positive balance of $907,186 through the end of FY 2023-2024.

For Zone L, with hundreds of trees planted or to be planted as part of street widening, median, and streetscape projects on major streets (i.e., Telegraph Road) as well as recent tree-planting projects associated with the I-5 Freeway Widening Project and Cal-Fire grant, landscape maintenance costs are continuing to increase. As of June 30, 2023, a positive balance of $557,915 is anticipated based on the reallocated zone balances (see Table 5). At this time, both residential and commercial properties in Zone L are charged the maximum set rates and Zone L received no Ad Valorem property tax revenue prior to FY 2022-2023. With the estimated FY 2023-2024 costs for the maintenance of trees located on public street and rights- of-way throughout the City, and the infusion of Ad Valorem property tax and assessment revenues based on the maximum allowable rates will leave this zone with an estimated net positive balance of $465,162 through the end of FY 2023-2024.

Due to recurring negative balances in various zones over the past several years, the District has been subsidized by the General Fund from time to time, and in order for the District to operate in a self-sustaining manner, each of the zones may require rate increases through a Proposition 218 proceeding in addition to the redistribution of the Ad Valorem property tax among the zones in a more equitable manner which was initiated beginning in FY 2022-2023 in order to offset future expenditures, particularly if there are any zones with recurring negative balances as has occurred in the past.

A more detailed summary of the funding breakdown, operational cost, and fund balances is provided in Table 5, as well as the Engineer’s Report.

SETTING ASSESSMENT RATES

Pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, the City collects assessments for lighting improvements, maintenance and energy costs; traffic signal maintenance and energy costs, and landscaping maintenance of public trees on City streets and rights-of-way. Direct assessments are distributed based on the special benefit each property receives. Since streets provide vehicular and pedestrian access to properties, the special benefit is apportioned based on the number of trips generated by each parcel.

The California Streets and Highways Code requires the City Council to adopt resolutions and hold a public hearing each year to set the assessment rates for the various zones within the Lighting and Landscaping Assessment District for the ensuing year. From these rates, assessments are calculated and levied against the properties in the District. The City coordinates with the Los Angeles County Auditor-Controller’s Office to include applicable assessments and adjustments on property tax bills in order to collect the assessment revenues.
