The City Council will consider approving the plans and specifications and awarding a construction contract to Pavement Coatings Co. for the Annual Street Resurfacing (2025 Street Resurfacing Project). The project will resurface multiple street segments with a slurry seal treatment that will prolong the life of the existing pavement surface.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt the Resolution Approving the Plans and Specifications and Awarding a Contract to Pavement Coatings Co. for the Annual Street Resurfacing (2025 Street Resurfacing Project), CIP No. ST0117.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

The bid submitted by Pavement Coatings Co. is $3,300,772. Staff recommends a construction contingency of $330,000 (approximately 10%) to facilitate change orders for unforeseen construction issues, bringing the total potential construction cost to $3,630,772. Sufficient funds are available in the approved budget for CIP No. ST0117.

DESCRIPTION:

The 2024-2029 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) includes the Annual Street Resurfacing Project, CIP No. ST0117 (Attachment 2). The Annual Street Resurfacing Project provides for various types of pavement improvements from asphalt overlay to major rehabilitation of roadways. The 2025 Street Resurfacing Project will cover 144 street segments with approximately

3.7 million square feet of slurry seal, which is a roadway preventative maintenance technique used to prolong the life of asphalt concrete surfacing. As streets begin to show wear and stress 22

cracks, it is important to seal the cracks to keep water from getting under the roadway pavement.

Slurry consists of a sand/oil mixture which seals cracks and provides a new, uniform wearing surface.

Bid Process and Results
The City of Dublin issued a bid package for the 2025 Street Resurfacing Project on February 20, 2025. The bid package consisted of 32 base bid items. Two sealed bids were received on March 20, 2025. The bids were $3,300,772.00 and $3,698,783.95, with the lowest base bid submitted by Pavement Coatings Co. A summary of the bids is provided as Attachment 4.

Staff reviewed the bid results, checked references and necessary licenses, and recommends that the City Council award the construction contract to Pavement Coatings Co. as the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.

To facilitate the approval of contract change orders and avoid construction delays, it is requested that the City Manager or designee be authorized to approve change orders up to the contingency amount of $330,000. The resolution will authorize this change as it relates to the project. Staff anticipates work to begin in late May and be completed by the end of 2025.

Community Workforce Agreement
On January 11, 2022, the City Council approved a Community Workforce Agreement (CWA) with the Building and Construction Trades Council of Alameda County and its Affiliated Local Unions.

The CWA is applicable to public works projects valued at over $1,000,000 and ensures that there are no labor issues related to said projects and bolsters local efforts to connect residents with careers in the building and construction trades. The CWA includes a Local Hire Goal where 20% of all hours on a project are worked by Local Residents, who are defined as individuals that reside within Alameda County or within a 15-mile radius of City limits. The CWA also requires contractors to hire one new apprentice for the first $1,000,000 of construction costs, and an additional new apprentice for every $5,000,000 in construction costs, based on the engineer’s estimate. Apprentices must work a minimum of 10% of the total craft’s work hours, but the CWA allows that apprentices may be deployed to another project to ensure the minimum number of hours are met.

Staff worked with a consultant, Workforce Integrity and Training Solutions, to prepare bid documents and solicit bids for the 2025 Street Resurfacing Project that comply with the provisions of the CWA. The provisions include the requirement that responsive bidders include an Agreement to be Bound to and by the CWA, and that all subcontractors of the successful bidder execute the Agreement to be Bound within 14 days after Notice of Award.

DESCRIPTION:

The procedure for establishing annual maintenance assessments is governed by the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, which is State Law codified in the Streets and Highways Code. The procedure first requires that the City Council direct preparation of Engineer’s Reports, which the City Council did on January 14, 2025 with the adoption of Resolution 01-25. Then the City Council must consider approval of the Engineer’s Reports for the City of Dublin’s two street lighting maintenance assessment districts and three landscaping and lighting districts for Fiscal Year 2025-26, as described on the following pages. The City Council must also set a public hearing date to hear any protests prior to approving the levy of assessments in each district. Staff proposes that the public hearing be set for May 20, 2025, at 7:00 p.m. in the Peter W. Snyder Council Chamber at 100 Civic Plaza, Dublin.

The five assessment districts formed under the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 are briefly described below. More detailed information about each district, including a map showing the boundary of each district, can be found in Attachments 2 through 6.

Street Lighting Maintenance District 1983-1
This District was established to replace the County Service Area, which had paid maintenance and energy costs for public streetlights within the City of Dublin. This assessment district encompasses the entire City, except for the Dublin Ranch area, the Clifton Park development in the western hills, Tracts 7067, 8024, 8073 and 8074, and the Jordan Ranch, Boulevard, Tassajara Hills, and Francis Ranch developments. The City Council approved formation of this District on August 2, 1983, with the initial assessment in the 1984-85 tax year.

The maximum assessment allowed under the authorizing documents is $19.34 per unit for 33

Page 3 of 6 ends

residential uses and $106.37 per acre for commercial uses. The maximum assessment has been levied since Fiscal Year 2007-08. There is no provision in the formation documents to increase the per-unit levy. As noted in the Engineer’s Report, any increase would require the approval of the property owners subject to the assessment.

In Fiscal Year 2025-26, there is an increase in the budgeted utilities cost due to increasing electricity rates. Overall, District costs are projected to exceed annual revenues, resulting in a draw on District fund balance to continue operations. Since there is no authorized annual escalator for the assessments, the District is anticipated to continue drawing from available fund balance in future years to cover costs. It is projected that the District has sufficient fund balance to cover costs through Fiscal Year 2028-29. At that point, absent any voter-approved increase to the assessments, the General Fund will need to cover the difference (about $150,000 in Fiscal Year 2029-30) on an annual basis.

The proposed assessment amount for Fiscal Year 2025-26 remains the same as the prior year, as shown in the table below.

The District's boundaries include all of Tract 4719 and cover the 150-unit single-family Dublin Hills Estates development and the Amador Lakes development. The City Council approved formation of this District on January 23, 1984, with the initial assessment in the 1985-86 tax year.

The spread of assessments assigns 61.6% of the total assessment to the single-family homes of Dublin Hills Estates and 38.4% to the Amador Lakes Apartments. Details related to the budgeted expenditures can be found within the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Engineer’s Report.

The assessment methodology approved in Fiscal Year 2003-04 by property owners in the District includes an escalation clause that allows for adjustments to the assessment according to the Consumer Price Index and the utility cost increases. These factors are updated in the Engineer’s Report on an annual basis. The maximum assessment in the Engineer’s Report for Fiscal Year 2025-26 is $531.10 per single family residence and $89.81 per multi-family residence.

The assessments for Fiscal Year 2025-26 are proposed to be increased 1.95% over the prior year to the maximum allowed, as shown in the table below. This will fund routine operations as well as needed repairs to irrigation.

The surrounding homes are apartment complexes, condominiums, and the 145-unit single family development (Ridgecreek).

The work performed by this District includes litter pickup, maintenance of sound walls, and landscaping along Dougherty Road between Amador Valley Boulevard and Fall Creek Road, along Amador Valley Boulevard between Dougherty Road and Wildwood Road, and along Wildwood Road, Fall Creek Road, Shady Creek Drive, and Willow Creek Drive. Landscaping within the condominium and apartment developments is the responsibility of the homeowners' association or property owners for those individual developments. The landscaping along and within the Alamo Creek channel area is not included in the assessment district as it is the responsibility of the Alameda County Flood Control and Water Conservation District (Zone 7).

The assessment methodology approved in 2001 by property owners in the District includes an escalation clause that allows for adjustments to the assessment according to the Consumer Price Index and the utility cost increases. These factors are updated in the Engineer’s Report on an annual basis. The maximum assessment in the Engineer’s Report for Fiscal Year 2025-26 is $320.00 per single family residence, $160.00 per multi-family residence, and $1,280.00 for commercial property.

The assessments for Fiscal Year 2025-26 are proposed to be increased 1.64% over the prior year to the maximum assessments allowed, as shown in the table below.

STREET LIGHTING MAINTENANCE DISTRICT No. 1983-1 INTRODUCTION 1 SECTION I

INTRODUCTION

The City of Dublin (“City”) levies and collects special assessments on parcels within the City of Dublin Street Lighting Maintenance Assessment District No. 1983-1 (“District”) to maintain the public street lighting improvements. The District was initially formed in 1983 to provide a dedicated source of funding for the ongoing maintenance of street lighting improvements within the boundaries of the District.

The assessments a nd m ethod of a pportionment des cribed in this Engineer’s Report (“Report”) utilize commonly accepted a ssessment engineering practices and have been calculated and proportionately spread to each parcel based on the special benefits received as approved by the City Council at the time the District was formed.

General Description of the District

The District was created in 1983 to replace the County of Alameda Lighting Service Area within the City of Dublin and to fund the ma intenance and servicing costs for the City’s street lighting system. In Fiscal Year 1995-96, the City of Dublin acqui red the PG&E owned streetlights within the District to reduce maintenance costs. The District includes all parcels that were within the County of Alameda Lighting Service Area which includes all parcels within the City except for Dublin Ranch, the Clifton Park development in the western hills, Tracts 7067, 8024, 8073 and 8074, the Jordan Ranch development, the Tassajara Hills development, and the Francis Ranch development.

A reduced copy of the Assessment Diagram showing the exterior boundaries of the District is provided in Part C of this Report.

Compliance with the California Constitution

Assessments a re levied an nually w ithin the District p ursuant to t he Landscape a nd Lighting Act of 1972, Part 2 of Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code (“1972 Act”). A ll assessments described in this Report and approved by the City Council are prepared in accordance with the 1972 Act and are compliant with the provisions of the C alifornia Constitution A rticle XIIID ( “Article XIIID”), which was enacted with the passage of Proposition 218 in November 1996. Pur suant to Article X IIID Section 5, certain existing assessments a re exem pt from the substa ntive and procedural requirements of Article XIIID Section 4. Specifically, Article XIIID Section 5(a) exempted:

“Any assessment imposed exclusiv ely to finance the ca pital costs or maintenance and operat ion expenses for sidewalks, streets, sew ers, water, flood control, drainage systems or vec tor co ntrol. Subsequent increases in such assessme nts shall be subject to the procedures and approval process set forth in Section 4.”

44 CITY OF DUBLIN FISCAL YEAR 2025-26
STREET LIGHTING MAINTENANCE DISTRICT No. 1983-1 INTRODUCTION 2 The City has determined t hat the annual assessments o riginally established for the District w ere for the maint enance and operat ion of streetlights w ithin the publ ic st reet rights-of-way. As such , pur suant to Article XIIID Section 5 (a), the pre –existing assessment amou nt has been exempted from the proc edural requirem ents of Artic le XIIID S ection 4 since t he amount of the assessment has not increased since the passage of Proposition 218.

Any future increase in the assessment ra te or substa ntial changes in the services provided wo uld require that the Distr ict be brought into com pliance w ith a ll the requirements of Article XIIID a nd w ould require the approval of the property o wners subject to the assessment based u pon a mailed ballot w hich would be sent to each property owner.

Summary of District

The table below summarizes the assessments to be levied for each property type. As shown in Part B of this Report, the estimated expenditures are anticipated to exceed the projected revenues in Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 -26 and FY 2026-27, requiring transfers from the available fund balance to cover the annual operation and maintenance costs. If expenditures continue to exceed assessment revenues, ongoing fund balance transfers will be necessary, potentially depleting reserves over time. Should this circumstance occur, t his may require a significant reduction in service levels in future years so that expenditures match assessment revenues or the City will need to contribute to the District from other available funds or increase the current assessment rate by receiving approval by property owners within the District.

STREET LIGHTING MAINTENANCE DISTRICT No. 1983-1 ESTIMATE OF COSTS

7 PART B

ESTIMATE OF COSTS

All public streetlights and o ther eligible improvements within the District are maintained and serviced o n a regular basis, using assessment re venues. Current assessment revenues have not always been sufficient to fund 100% of the annual operations and maintenance costs of street lighting in past years. Increasing assessment rates require property owner approval following the passage of Proposition 218 in 1996. In years where the revenues were less than the costs to maintain the District improvements, the District transferred fu nds from the District’s existing f und b alances to f und the shortfall in assessment revenues. Although the District has seen an incr ease in revenue because of new developm ent, the increases in costs have in creased much more q uickly than t he increase in assessment revenue because of growth.

The proposed cost estimate for the District is sh own in Table 2. This includes an estimate of th e costs of utilities, o perations, services, a dministration, and ma intenance associated with the improvements, including a ll labor, personnel, equipment, materials, and administrative expenses for the next two (2) fiscal years . The summary also shows the estimated fund balance, and the projected reserve collection increase/(decrease) that will be required from the fund balance based u pon the estimated expenditures and assessment revenue. Projected cost estimates are also shown for two (2) fiscal years.

Th
e following describes the general services and costs shown in the cost estimate.

District Costs

Operating Supplies – The cost of supplies for ongoing maintenance and servicing of the street lighting improvements incl uding stre et light repair parts and the labor associ ated with performing the r epair work.

STREET LIGHTING MAINTENANCE DISTRICT No. 1983-1 METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT 12 PART D

METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT OF ASSESSMENTS

General

The 1972 Act permits the establishment of assessment districts by a gencies for the purpose of providing certain public improvements which incl ude the construction, maintenance and servicing of public li ghts, landscaping, and appurtenant facilities. The 1972 Act f urther re quires that t he cost of these im provements be levied according to benefit rather than assessed value:

“The n et am ount to be assessed upon la nds within an assessment district m ay b e apporti oned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assess able l ots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be rece ived by each such lot or parcel from the improvements.”

The formula used for calculating assess ments in the D istrict t herefore reflects the composition of the parcels, and the im provements and se rvices provided, to fairly apportion the costs based on estimated benefit to each parcel. In addition, pursuant to Article XIIID Section 4:

“No a
ssessment shall be imposed on any p arcel which exceeds the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel. O nly speci al benefits are assessab le, and an ag ency sh all separate the general benefits from the sp ecial benefits conf erred on a parcel.”

Benefit Analysis

Each of the i mprovements have been carefully reviewed by the City a nd the corresponding assessments have been proportionately spread to each parcel based on special benefits re ceived from t he improvements as determined at the time the District was established.

General B enefits – In reviewing each of the District improvements, the proximity of those improvements to both properties within the District and those outside the District, as well as the r easons for installing and constructing such improvements, it is evi dent that the improvements are solely the result o f developing properties w ithin t he District and the ongoing maintenance and o peration of these improvement s will directly a ffect t he properties wit hin the Distr ict. Although the improvements include public a reas, easements, rights-of-way, and other amenities available or visible to the public at large, the construction a nd installation of these im provements were o nly n ecessary for the development o f properties w ithin the District a nd were not r equired, nor necessarily desired by any properties or developments outside the District boundary and any public access or use of the improvements by others is in cid ental. Therefore, it has been 55 CITY OF DUBLIN FISCAL YEAR 2025-26
STREET LIGHTING MAINTENANCE DISTRICT No. 1983-1 METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT 13 determined that the improvements a nd the ongoing maintenance, servicing and operation of those improvements provide no measurable general benefit to properties outside the District or to the public at large, but clearly provide distinct and special benefits to properties within the District.

Special Benefits – The method of apportionment (method of assessment) outlined herein is based on the premise that each assessed parcel within the District receives special benefits from the improvements and the desirability and security of those properties as enhanced by the presence of public lighting near those properties.

The special benefits conferred on property from street lighting and other public lighting facilities include the convenience, safety, and security of property, improvements, and goods. Specifically:

1) Enhanced deterrence of crime and the aid to police protection.

2) Increased nighttime safety on roads, streets, and public areas.

3) Improved ability of pedestrians and motorists to see.

4) Improved ingress and egress to property.

5) Reduced vandalism and other criminal acts and damage to improvements or property.

6) Improved traffic circulation and reduced nighttime accidents and personal property loss.

The preceding special benefits contribute to the aesthetic value and desirability of each of the assessed parcels within the District and thereby provide a special enhancement of the properties. Furthermore, it has been determined that the lack of funding to properly service and maintain the District improvements w ould have a negative impact on the properties within the District.

All the preceding special benefits contribute to a specific enhancement and desirability of each of the assessed parcels within the District.

Non-Assessable Properties – Within the boundaries of the District, there are several types of properties that are considered to receive no special benefit from the District improvements and are therefore not assessed. These parcels include:

56 CITY OF DUBLIN FISCAL YEAR 2025-26
STREET LIGHTING MAINTENANCE DISTRICT No. 1983-1 METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT 14 1) Publicly owned parcels that are reserved as public open space or are developed as City parks for active recreation and are maintained and serviced by the District; 2) Publicly owned wetland parcels;
3) Certain public utility parcels;
4) Privately owned open space parcels; and
5) Privately owned "sliver" parcels that have resulted from a lot line adjustment with an a djacent larger pa rcel. The a djacent la rger pa rcels, of w hich these "sliver" parcels are a part, are assessed at the residential rate

Assessment Methodology

The spe cial b enefits receiv ed by each parcel w ithin the District a nd ea ch parcel’s proportional annual assessment a re calculated based on a formula that utilizes Equivalent Dwelling Units. The Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EDU) method of apportionment establishes a proportional b enefit relationship between the various p arcels w ithin the District a nd the i mprovements m aintained by the District. T he typical single family residential parcel is a ssigned 1.00 Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EDU) since it represented more than 73% of the total parcels within the District.

EDUs are assigned to the other land uses based upon the pr operty’s development status, type of developm ent (County of A lameda land use code) and property size as shown in the table below. Parcels determined to be vacant will be assessed at a reduced rate of 50%, by multiplying the parcel’s assigned EDU factor by 0.5 (or 50%).

Single-Family Residential (SFR) – (County land use 1x) this la nd use i dentifies properties that are developed for single family residential use and are assigned a factor of 1.00 EDU per parcel. This is the base value that all other land use types are compared and weighted against (i.e., Equivalent Dwelling Unit “EDU”). This land use classification may i nclude, but is not limited to, l ots or parcels identified as s ingle-family residential homes, planned development (tract or townhouse t ype), and modular/manufactured single family residential units.

63 CITY OF DUBLIN FISCAL YEAR 2025-26
LANDSCAPE AND LIGHTING DISTRICT No. 1983-2 INTRODUCTION 1 SECTION I

INTRODUCTION

The City of Dublin (“City”) levies and collects special assessments on parcels within the City of Dublin Landscape and Lighting Assessment District No. 1983- 2 (“District”) to maintain the landscaping and irrigation improvements within the District.

The assessments and methods of apportionment described in this Report utilize commonly accepted assessment engineering practices and have been calculated and proportionately spread to each parcel based on the special benefits received as approved by the City Council at the time the District was formed.

General Description of the District

The District was initially formed in 1983 to provide a dedicated source of funding for the ongoing maintenance of street landscaping within Tract 4719. The District originally included the maintenance of Stagecoach Park and the landscaping along Stagecoach Road north of the City Limit; however, those improvements are no longer funded by the District. Currently, the District includes only the roadway landscaping along Stagecoach Road and on the "interior slopes" (Coral Way and Agate Way) within the Dublin Hills Estates development.

The maintenance cost of Stagecoach Park, as well as the undeveloped Dougherty Hills Park, is paid by the City through the Park Maintenance Operating Budget and is not a part of this Assessment District.

A reduced copy of the Assessment Diagram showing the exterior boundaries of the District is provided in Part C of this Report.

Compliance with the California Constitution

Assessments are levied annually within the District pursuant to the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972, Part 2 of Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code (“1972 Act”).

All assessments described in this Report and approved by the City Council are prepared in accordance with the 1972 Act and are in compliance with the provisions of the California Constitution Article XIIID (“Article XIIID”), which was enacted with the passage of Proposition 218 in November 1996.

64 CITY OF DUBLIN FISCAL YEAR 2025-26
LANDSCAPE AND LIGHTING DISTRICT No. 1983-2 INTRODUCTION 2 Pursuant to Article XIIID Section 5, certain existing assessments were exempt from the substantive and procedural requirements of Article XIIID Section 4. Specifically, Article XIIID Section 5(a) exempted:

“Any assessment imposed exclusively to finance the capital costs or maintenance and operation expenses for sidewalks, streets, sewers, water, flood control, drainage systems or vector control. Subsequent increases in such assessments shall be subject to the procedures and approval process set forth in Section 4.”

The City determined that the annual assessments originally established for the District were for the maintenance and operation of landscaping within the public street rights -of-way or public easements.

However, in Fiscal Year 2003-04, the City conducted a public hearing that included a mailed ballot to all the property owners in this District proposing an increased assessment to maintain and replace certain landscaping improvements. In accordance with the requirements of Proposition 218, the property owners approved a 10% increase in assessment rates and the addition of an escalation clause for succeeding years that allows the maintenance cost to increase according to the Consumer Price Index and the utility cost to increase according to the actual cost of utilities.

Any future increase in the assessment rate more than the maximum allowable rate or substantial changes in the services provided would require the approval of the property owners subject to the assessment based upon a mailed ballot which would be sent to each property owner pursuant to the provisions of the California Constitution Article XIIID.

Summary of District

A summary of the assessments to be levied in Fiscal Year 2025-26 for each property type is shown in the table below.

LANDSCAPE AND LIGHTING DISTRICT No. 1983-2 METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT 12 PART D

METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT OF ASSESSMENTS

General

The 1972 Act permits the establishment of assessment districts by agencies for the purpose of providing certain public improvements which include the construction, maintenance and servicing of public lights, landscaping, and appurtenant facilities. The 1972 Act further requires that the cost of these improvements be levied according to benefit rather than assessed value:

“The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apporti oned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements.”

The formula used for calculating assessments in the District therefore reflects the composition of the parcels, and the improvements and services provided, to fairly apportion the costs based on estimated benefit to each parcel. In addition, pursuant to Article XIIID Section 4:

“No assessment shall be imposed on any parcel which exceeds t he reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel. Only special benefits are assessable, and an agency shall separate the general benefits from the special benefits conferred on a parcel.”

Benefit Analysis

Each of the improvements have been carefully reviewed by the City and the corresponding assessments have been proportionately spread to each parcel based on special benefits received from the improvement s as determined at the time the District was established.

General Benefits – In reviewing each of the District improvements, the proximity of those improvements to both properties within the District and those outside the District, as well as the reasons for installing and constructing such improvements, it is evident that the improvements are solely the result of developing properties within the District and the ongoing maintenance and operation of these improvement s will directly affect the properties wit hin the District. Although the improvements include public areas, easements, rights-of-way, and other amenities available or visible to the public at large, the construc tion and installation of these improvements were only necessary for the development of properties within the District and were not required, nor necessarily desired by any properties or developments outside the District boundary and any public access or use of the improvements by others is incidental. Therefore, it has been 75 CITY OF DUBLIN FISCAL YEAR 2025-26
LANDSCAPE AND LIGHTING DISTRICT No. 1983-2 METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT 13 determined that the improvements an d the ongoing maintenance, servicing and operation of those improvements provide no measurable general benefit to properties outside the District or to the public at large, but clearly provide distinct and special benefits to properties within the District.

Special Benefits – The method of apportionment (method of assessment) established herein is based on the premise that each assessed parcel within the District receives special benefits from the improvements and the desirability of those properties enhanced by the presence of well-maintained landscaping near those properties.

The special benefits associated with landscape improvements are specifically:

1) Enhanced desirability of properties through association with the improvements.

2) Improved aesthetic appeal of properties providing a positive representation of the area and properties.

3) Enhanced adaptation of the urban environment within the natural environment from adequate green space and landscaping.

4) Environmental enhancement through improved erosion resistance, dust and debris control, and fire prevention.

5) Increased sense of pride in ownership of property within the District resulting from well-maintained improvements associated with the properties.

6) Enhanced quality of life through well-maintained green space and landscaped areas.

7) Reduced criminal activity and property-related crimes (especially vandalism) against properties in the District through well-maintained surroundings and amenities including abatement of graffiti.

8) Enhanced environmental quality of th e parcel s by moder ating t emperatures, providing oxygenation, and attenuating noise.

The preceding special benefits contribute to the aesthetic value and desirability of each of the assessed parcels within the District and thereby provide a special enhancement of the properties. Furthermore, it has been determined that the lack of funding to properly service and maintain the District improvements w ould have a negative impact on the properties within the District.

76 CITY OF DUBLIN FISCAL YEAR 2025-26
LANDSCAPE AND LIGHTING DISTRICT No. 1983-2 METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT 14 Non-Assessable Properties – Within the boundaries of the District, there are several types of properties tha t are considered to receive no special benefit from the District improvements and are therefore not assessed. These parcels include:

1) Publicly owned parcels that are reserved as public open space or are developed as City Parks for active recreation and are maintained and serviced by the District; 2) Publicly owned wetland parcels;
3) Certain public utility parcels;
4) Privately owned open space parcels; and
5) Privately owned "sliver" parcels that have resulted from a lot line adjustment with an adjacent l arger parcel. The adjacent l arger parcel, of which these "sliver" parcels are a part, are assessed at the residential rate.

Assessment Methodology
The special benefits received by each parcel within the District and each parcel’s proportional annual assessment are calculated as follows:
• Sixty-one and six tenths’ percent (61.6%) spread equally to the 150 single family homes of Dublin Estates; and
• Thirty-eight and four tenths’ percent (38.4%) spread equally among the 553 apartments/condominiums of Amador Lakes Complex.

Maximum Assessment Rate

It is recognized that the cost of maintaining the District improvements increases slightly every year because of inflation. In Fiscal Year 2003- 04, the property owners approved a formula for increasing assessments for each future fiscal year to offset increases in costs due to inflation.

The maximum assessment amount for each property type shall be increased each fiscal year in an amount equal to the annual percentage increase of the local San Francisco Oakland San Jose Area Consumer Price Index (“Index”) for “All Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers” which is applied to all costs except utilities (water and electricity), plus the actual percentage increase in utility costs (collectively, “Annual Escalation Factor”).

In order to implement the District’s Annual Escalation Factor annually, two rates were developed based on the cost estimate that was prepared at the time the property owners approved the annual escalator. The first rate (the “CPI Rate”) was created to encompass the annual District cost increases except for utilities. The second rate (the “Utility Rate”) was created to encompass the annual utility cost increases.

The Index is to be applied annually to the prior year’s maximum CPI Rate for each property type to pay for all costs except utilities. The maximum Utility Rate was established to pay for all utility costs for each property type and is to be increased annually by the percentage change in the budgeted amount for utilities as shown in the District’s 77 CITY OF DUBLIN FISCAL YEAR 2025-26
LANDSCAPE AND LIGHTING DISTRICT No. 1983-2 METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT 15 annual fiscal year Engineer’s Reports . The increase in utility costs shall be calculated by taking the upcoming fiscal year’s budgeted amount for utilities and subtracting the District’s previous highest yearly budgeted amount for utilities. This difference is used to calculate the annual increase in the Utility Rate for each property type. The combination of the maximum CPI Rate and maximum Utility Rate (collectively, “Maximum Assessment Rate”) shall equal the Maximum Assessment Rate for the upcoming fiscal year. Please see Table 3 for details regarding the Maximum Assessment Rate for Fiscal Year 2025-26.

The timing of the annual percentage increase of the Index was changed beginning in 2018 and for each year thereafter for administrative purposes, to ensure the City is allowed the time necessary to have all annual documents prepared and approved by the City Council by June of each year, and to meet both County submittal and statutory requirements. Each fiscal year, the City shall identify the annual percentage difference in the Index between the most recent calendar year and that of the prior calendar year; more specifically, the annual percentage change used to escalate the prior year’s assessment rates for Fiscal Year 202 5-26 was determined based on the difference using the a nnual amount for calendar years 2024 and 2023. Should the Bureau of Labor Statistics revise such Index or discontinue the preparation of such Index, the City shall use the revised index or comparable index as approved by the City Council for determining fluctuations in the cost of living. The following table shows the Maximum Assessment Rates allowable for Fiscal Year 2025-26.

78 CITY OF DUBLIN FISCAL YEAR 2025-26
LANDSCAPE AND LIGHTING DISTRICT No. 1983-2 METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT 16 If the City Council determines that an inflation adjustment is not required for a given fiscal year, the City Council may authorize the ensuing fiscal year’s assessment without applying the adjustment formula to the amount levied. If the cost estimate and assessments for the District require an increase greater than the adjustment set forth in the formula, then the proposed increase would be subject to approval by the District property owners. Each fiscal year, the maximum assessment rate shall increase at the maximum amount allowable regardless of whether the increase is levied to the parcels within the District.

LANDSCAPE AND LIGHTING DISTRICT No. 1986-1 INTRODUCTION 1 SECTION I

INTRODUCTION

The Ci ty of Dublin (“City”) levies a nd collects spe cial assessm ents on parcels within Landscape and Lighting D istrict No. 1986-1 (“District”) to maintain the improvements within the Villages in the Willow Creek area.

The assessments a nd me thod of app ortionment d escribed in this Report utilize commonly accepted assessment engineering practices and have been calculated and proportionately spread to each parcel based on the special benefits received as approved by the City Council at the time the District was formed.

General Description of the District

The District was initially formed in 1986 to provide a dedicated source of funding for the ongoing maintenance of landscaping, including fencing and sound walls, along the west side of Dougherty Road from Amador Valley Boulevard to the northerly City Limit, along Amador Valley Boulevard from Dougherty Road to Wildwood Road, along Wildwood Road and Fall Creek Road, and certain landscaped areas within the Ridgecreek single- family home development. Landscaping within the condominium and apartment developments is the responsibility of the homeowners' association(s) or property owner (s) for those individual developments.

A reduced copy of the Assessment Diagram showing the exterior boundaries of the District is provided in Part C of this Report.

Compliance with the California Constitution

Assessments are levied annually within the District pursuant to the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972, Part 2 of Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code (“1972 Act”). All assessments described in this Report and approved by the City Council are prepared in accordance with the 1972 Act and are in compliance with the provisions of the California Constitution Article XIIID (“Article XIIID”), which was enacted with the passage of Proposition 218 in November 1996.

In Fiscal Year 2001- 02, the assessments in the District were increased by 54% with the approval of property owners in compliance with the requirements of Proposition 218. The increase in the assessment rate was required as the reserve funds had become depleted and could no longer be used to offset utility and maintenance cost increases. The property owners also approved an escalation clause for future years that allows the assessment to increase according to the annual percentage change of the Consumer Price Index and the utility cost to increase according to the actual cost of utilities.

84 CITY OF DUBLIN FISCAL YEAR 2025-26
LANDSCAPE AND LIGHTING DISTRICT No. 1986-1 INTRODUCTION 2 Any future increase in the assessment rate in excess of the maximum allowable rate or substantial changes in the services provided would require the approval of the property owners subject to the assessment based upon a mailed ballot which would be sent to each property owner.

Summary of District

A summary of the assessments to be levied in Fiscal Year 2025-26 for each property type is shown in the table below.

METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT OF ASSESSMENTS

General

The 1972 Act permits the establishment of assessment districts by a gencies for the purpose of providing certain public improvements which incl ude the construction, maintenance and s ervicing of public li ghts, landscaping, and appurtenant facilities. The 1972 Act further requires that the cost of these improvements be levied according to benefit rather than assessed value:

“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 assessa ble l ots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be rece ived by each such lot or pa rcel from the improvements.”

The formula used for calculating assess ments in the D istrict t herefore reflects the composition of the parcels, and the im provements and services provided, to fairly apportion the costs based on estimated benefit to each parcel. In addition, purs uant to Article XIIID Section 4:

“No as
sessment shall be imposed on any p arcel which exceeds the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel.

Only speci al benefits are assessab le, and an ag ency sh all separate the general benefits from the special benefits conferred on a parcel.”

Benefit Analysis

Each of the i mprovements have been c arefully reviewed by the City a nd the corresponding assessments have been proportionately spread to each parcel based on special benefits re ceived from t he improvement s as determined at the time the District was established.

General B enefits – In reviewing each of the District improvements, the proximity of those improvements to both properties within the District and those outside the District, as well as the reasons for installing and constructing such improvements, it is e vident that the improvements are s olely the result o f developing properties w ithin t he District, and the ongoing maintenance and o peration of these improvement s will directly a ffect t he properties wit hin the Dis trict. Although the improvements include public a reas, easements, rights-of-way, and other amenities available or visible to the public at large, the construc tion a nd installation of these im provements were o nly n ecessary for the development o f properties w ithin the District a nd were not r equired, nor necessarily desired by any properties or developments outside the District boundary and any public access or use of the improvements by others is in cid ental. Therefore, it has been determined that the i mprovements and the ongoing maintenance, servicing and 94 CITY OF DUBLIN FISCAL YEAR 2025-26
LANDSCAPE AND LIGHTING DISTRICT No. 1986-1 METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT 12 operation of those improvements provide no measurable general benefit to properties outside the District or to the public at large, but clearly provide distinct and special benefits to properties within the District.

Special Benefits – The method of apportionment (method of assessment) established herein is based on the premise that each assessed parcel within the District receives special benefits from the improvements and the desirability of those properties is enhanced by the presence of well-maintained landscaping near those properties.

The special benefits associated with landscape improvements are specifically:
1) Enhanced desirability of properties through association with the improvements. 2) Improved aesthetic appeal of properties providing a positive representation of the area and properties.
3) Enhanced adaptation of the urban environment within the natural environment from adequate green space and landscaping.
4) Environmental enhancement through improved erosion resistance, dust and debris control, and fire prevention.
5) Increased sense of pride in ownership of property within the District resulting from well-maintained improvements associated with the properties. 6) Enhanced quality of life through well-maintained green space and landscaped areas.
7) Reduced criminal activity and property-related crimes (especially vandalism) against properties in the District through well-maintained surroundings and amenities including abatement of graffiti.
8) Enhanced environmental quality of the parcel s by moder ating t emperatures, providing oxygenation, and attenuating noise.

The preceding special benefits contribute to the aesthetic value and desirability of each of the assessed parcels within the District and thereby provide a special enhancement of the properties. Furthermore, it has been determined that the lack of funding to properly service and maintain the District improvements w ould have a negative impact on the properties within the District.

Non-Assessable Properties – Within the boundaries of the District, there are several types of properties tha t are considered to receive no special benefit from the District improvements and are therefore not assessed. These parcels include:

1) Publicly owned parcels that are reserved as public open space or are developed as City parks for active recreation and are maintained and serviced by the District; 2) Publicly owned wetland parcels;
3) Certain public utility parcels;
4) Privately owned open space parcels; and
5) Privately owned "sliver" parcels that have resulted from a lot line adjustment with an adjacent larger parcel.

95 CITY OF DUBLIN FISCAL YEAR 2025-26
LANDSCAPE AND LIGHTING DISTRICT No. 1986-1 METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT 13 Assessment Methodology

The spe cial b enefits re ceived by each parcel w ithin the District a nd each parcel’s proportional annual assessment a re calculated on the basis of a formula that utilizes Equivalent Dwelling Units. The Equivalent Dwelling Un it (EDU) method of apportionment establishes a proportional b enefit relationship between the various p arcels w ithin the District a nd the i mprovements m aintained by the District. T he typi cal single family residential parcel is assigned 1.00 EDU.

EDUs are assigned to the other land uses based upon the property’s development status, and type of development (County of Alameda land use code) as shown in the table below.

Single-Family Residential (SFR) – (County land use 1x) This la nd use i dentifies properties that are developed for single-family residential use and are assigned a factor of

1.00 EDU per parcel. This is the base value that all other land use types are compared and weighted against using EDUs.

Mu
lti-Family Residential – This land use identifies properties that are developed for multi- family use and are assigned a factor of 0.50 EDU per unit.

Commercial – This land use identifies properties that are classified for com mercial use and are assigned a factor of 4.00 EDU per parcel/lot.

Common Open Space, Cemeteries & Other Exempt Property – This land use identifies properties that are exempt from assessment and are assigned 0.00 EDU.

The following formulas are used to calculate each property’s assessment:

Total Balance to Levy / Total EDUs = Levy per EDU (Rate) Parcel EDU x Levy per EDU = Parcel Levy Amount
Property Type EDU Factor
Single Family Residential (SFR) 1.00 per Parcel
Multi Family Residential (MFR) 0.50 per Unit
Commercial 4.00 per Parcel
Exempt, Cemeteries, Common Open Space 0.00 per Parcel

LANDSCAPE AND LIGHTING DISTRICT No. 1986-1 METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT 14 Maximum Assessment Rate

It is recognized that the cost of maintaining the District improvements increases slightly every year because of inflation. In Fiscal Year 2001-02, the property owners approved a formula for increasing assessments for each future fiscal year to offset increases in costs due to inflation.

The maximum assessment amount for each property type shal l be increased each fiscal year in an amo unt equal t o the annual percentage increase of the local San Francisco- Oakland-San Jose Area Consumer Price Index (“Index”) for “All Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers” which is app lied to all costs except utilities (water and electricity), p lus the actual percentage increase in utility costs (collectively, “Annual Escalation Factor”).

In order to implement the District’s Annual Escalation Factor annually, two rates were developed based on the cost estimate that was prepared at the time the property owners approved the annual escalator. The first rate (the “CPI Rate”) was created to encompass the annual District cost increases except for utilities. The second rate (the “Utility Rate”) was created to encompass the annual utility cost increases.

The Index is to be applied annually to the prior year’s maximum CPI Rate for each property type to pay for all costs except utilities. The maximum Utility Rate was established to pay for all utility costs for each property type and is to be increased annually by the percentage change in the budgeted amount for utilities as shown in the District’s annual fiscal year Engineer’s Reports. The increase in utility costs shall be calculated by taking the upcoming fiscal year’s budgeted amount for utilities and subtracting the District’s previous highest yearly budgeted amount for utilities. This difference is used to calculate the annual increase in the Utility Rate for each property type. The combination of the maximum CPI Rate and maximum Utility Rate (collectively, “Maximum Assessment Rate”) shall equal the Maximum Assessment Rate for the upcoming fiscal year. Please see Table 3 for details regarding the Maximum Assessment Rate for Fiscal Year 2025-26.

The timing of the annual percentage increase of the Index was changed beginning in 2018 and for each year thereafter for administrative purposes, to ensure the City is allowed the time necessary to have all annual documents prepared and approved by the City Council by June of each year, and to meet both County submittal and statutory requirements.

Each fiscal year starting in 2018, the City shall identify the annual percentage difference in the Index between the most recent calendar year and that of the prior calendar year; more specifically, the annual percentage change used to escalate the prior year’s assessment rates for Fiscal Year 2025-26 was determined based on the difference using the a nnual amount for calendar years 2024 and 2023. Should the Bureau of Labor Statistics revise such I ndex or discontinue the preparation of such In dex, the C ity sha ll use the revised index or comparable index as approved by the City Council for determining fluctuations in the cost of living. The following table shows the Maximum Assessment Rates allowable for Fiscal Year 2025-26.

LANDSCAPE AND LIGHTING DISTRICT No. 1986-1 METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT 15 If the City Council determines that an inflation adjustment is not required for a given fiscal year, the City C ouncil may authorize the ensuing fiscal year’s assessment without applying the a djustment fo rmula to the amount levied. If t he cost estimate a nd assessments for the District require an in crease greater than the adjustment set forth in the fo rmula, th en the proposed incre ase w ould be su bject to a pproval by the District property owners. Each fiscal ye ar, the maximum assessment rate shall increase at the maximum am ount allowable regardless of whether the in crease is levied to the parcels within the District.

INTRODUCTION

The City of Dublin (“City”) levies and collects special assessments on parcels within the City of Dublin Landscape and Lighting District No. 1997-1 (“District”) to maintain the landscaping and irrigation improvements within the Santa Rita area.

The assessments and method of apportionment described in this Report utilize commonly accepted assessment engineering practices and have been calculated and proportionately spread to each parcel based on the special benefits received as approved by the City Council at the time the District was formed.

General Description of the District

The District w as formed to fund str eet landscape maintenance and utility costs for the Santa Ri ta development area, also known as Emerald Park. T he total D istrict a rea is approximately 422 developed acres bounded by Arnold Road on the west, Gleason Drive on the no rth, Tassajara Road on t he east, and Interstate 580 on t he south. A diagram of the District is included within this report.

A reduced copy of the Assessment Diagram showing the exterior boundaries of the District is provided in Part C of this Report.

Compliance with the California Constitution

Assessments are levied annually within the District pursuant to the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972, Part 2 of Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code (“1972 Act”).

All assessments described in this Report and approved by the City Council are prepared in accordance with the 1972 Act and are in compliance with the provisions of the California Constitution Article XIIID (“Article XIIID”), which was enacted with the passage of Proposition 218 in November 1996.

In accordance with the requirements of Proposition 218, the property owners approved a formula for increasing assessments in succeeding years that allows the maintenance cost to increase according to the Consumer Price Index and the utility cost to increase according to the actual cost of utilities.

Any future increase in the assessment rate in excess of the maximum allowable rate or substantial changes in the services provided would require the approval of the property owners subject to the assessment based upon a mailed ballot which would be sent to each property owner pursuant to the provisions of the California Constitution Article XIIID. 103

LANDSCAPE AND LIGHTING DISTRICT No. 1997-1 METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT 12 PART D

METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT OF ASSESSMENTS

General

The 1972 Act permits the establishment of assessment districts by a gencies for the purpose of providing certain public improvements which incl ude the construction, maintenance and servicing of public li ghts, landscaping, and appurtenant facilities. The 1972 Act f urther re quires that t he cost of these im provements be levied according to benefit rather than assessed value:

“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 assessa ble l ots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be rece ived by each such lot or pa rcel from the improvements.”

The formula used for calculating assess ments in the D istrict t herefore reflects the composition of the parcels, and the im provements and se rvices provided, to fairly apportion the costs based on estimated benefit to each parcel. In addition, pursuant to Article XIIID Section 4:

“No a
ssessment shall be imposed on any p arcel which exceeds the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel.

Only speci al benefits are assessab le, and an ag ency sh all separate the general benefits from the special benefits conferred on a parcel.”

Benefit Analysis

Each of the i mprovements have been carefully reviewed by the City a nd the corresponding assessments have been proportionately spread to each parcel based on special benefits re ceived from t he improvements as determined at the time the District was established.

General B
enefits – In reviewing each of the District improvements, the proximity of those improvements to both properties within the District and those outside the District, as well as the r easons for installing and constructing such improvements, it is evi dent that the improvements are solely the result o f developing properties w ithin t he District and the ongoing maintenance and o peration of these improvement s will directly a ffect t he properties wit hin the Distr ict. Although the improvements include public a reas, easements, rights-of-way, and other amenities available or visible to the public at large, the construction a nd installation of these im provements were o nly n ecessary for the development o f properties w ithin the District a nd were not r equired, nor necessarily desired by any properties or developments outside the District boundary and any public access or use of the improvements by others is in cid ental. Therefore, it has been 114
CITY OF DUBLIN FISCAL YEAR 2025-26
LANDSCAPE AND LIGHTING DISTRICT No. 1997-1 METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT 13 determined that the improvements a nd the ongoing maintenance, servicing and operation of those improvements provide no measurable general benefit to properties outside the District or to the public at large, but clearly provide distinct and special benefits to properties within the District.

Special Benefits – The method of apportionment (method of assessment) established herein is based on the premise that each assessed parcel within the District receives special benefits from the improvements and the desirability of those properties enhanced by the presence of well–maintained landscaping in close proximity to those properties.

The special benefits associated with landscape improvements are specifically:

1) Enhanced desirability of properties through association with the improvements.

2) Improved aesthetic appeal of properties providing a positive representation of the area and properties.

3) Enhanced adaptation of the urban environment within the natural environment from adequate green space and landscaping.

4) Environmental enhancement through improved erosion resistance, dust and debris control, and fire prevention.

5) Increased sense of pride in ownershi p of property within t he District resulting from well-maintained improvements associated with the properties.

6) Enhanced qua lity of life th rough well -maintained gr een space and landscaped areas.

7) Reduced cr iminal activity and property -related crimes (espe cially vandalism) against propert ies in the Distr ict th rough well -maintained surroundings an d amenities including abatement of graffiti.

8) Enhanced environmental qual ity of th e parce ls by moderating temperatures, providing oxygenation, and attenuating noise.

The preceding special benefits contribute to the aesthetic value and desirability of each of the assessed parcels within the District and thereby provide a special enhancement of the properties. Furthermore, it has been determined that the lack of funding to properly service and maintain the District improvements w ould have a negative impact on the properties within the District.

Non-Assessable Properties – Within the boundaries of the District, there are several types of properties th at are considered to receive no special benefit from the District improvements and are therefore not assessed. These parcels include:

115
CITY OF DUBLIN FISCAL YEAR 2025-26
LANDSCAPE AND LIGHTING DISTRICT No. 1997-1 METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT 14 1) Publicly owned parcels that are reserved as public open space or are developed as City parks for active recreation and are maintained and serviced by the District; 2) Publicly owned wetland parcels;
3) Certain public utility parcels;
4) Privately owned open space parcels; and
5) Privately owned "sliver" parcels that have resulted from a lot line adjustment with an adjacent larger parcel.

Assessment Methodology

The initial Engineer’s Report provided for a max imum assessment o f $710 pe r developed acre, based on a total of 389,400 square feet of street improvements and a total of 957,000 square feet of creek improvements and 440.08 acres of developed property anticipated at the time of formation for build-out of all property within the District.

The cost of the improvements was divided equally among the total number of developed properties within the boundaries of the District on a per acre basis.

“Developed acres” shall include property having a recorded final map or parcel map as of July 1st of each year.

The following formulas are used to calculate each property’s assessment:

1. Cost of maintenance of installed improvements (“M”).

2. Total amount of developed acres (“A”).

3. The annual assessment for the developed acres for that year (“M”) shall be spread on a per-acre basis (“M” ÷ “A”) based on the following:
a. Commercial, retail, office, industrial, and all other parcel classifications not referenced herein’ developed area, per acre basis.
b. Single-family residential area, per acre basis.
c. Multi-family residential area, per acre basis.

4. The single- family and multi- family residential area per acre assessment will be further spread on a per lot basis based on the number of lots on the final map, parcel map, or condominium map for each development.

5. If the initial assessment in any year would exceed $710 per acre, the amount in excess of $710 shall be assessed to the remaining undeveloped acres on a per acre basis, subject to the maximum developed acre amount.

6. The maximum developed acre assessment of $710 per year will be increased annually by the percentage increase in the San Francisco- Oakland-San Jose Area Consumer Price Index for “All Urban Consumers and Clerical Workers” (applies to all costs except water and electricity), plus any budgeted increase in the cost for water and electricity.

7. If the square footage cost of the improvements will be less than the amount set forth herein (after adjustment), the assessment shall be reduced proportionately to reflect the reduced cost of improvements in that year.

116
CITY OF DUBLIN FISCAL YEAR 2025-26
LANDSCAPE AND LIGHTING DISTRICT No. 1997-1 METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT 15 Rate Classifications

Single and Multi-family residential subdivisions wit hin the Distr ict will be assigned a rate on a per lot basis. To determine the assessment per lot, the number of acres w ithin the subdivision will be divided by the number of lots within the subdivision.

Commercial (including retail, office, and industrial uses, as well as apartment properties) are assessed based on the per acre figure of $9 30.96 multiplied by the number of acres per individual lot for Fiscal Year 2025-26.

It is recognized that the cost of maintaining the District improvements increases slightly every year because of inflation. At the time the District was formed, the property owners approved a formula for increasing assessments for each future fiscal year to o ffset increases in costs due to inflation.

The maximum assessment amount for each development/property type shal l be increased each fiscal year i n an amo unt equal t o the annual percentage increase of the local San Francisco-Oakl and-San Jose Ar ea Consumer P rice Index (“Ind ex”) for “All Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers” which is ap plied to all costs except utilities (water a nd electricity), p lus the a ctual percentage increase in utility costs (collectively, “Annual Escalation Factor”).

In order to implement the District’s Annual Escalation Factor annually, two rates were developed based on the cost estimate that was prepared at the time the property owners approved the annual escalator. The first rate (the “CPI Rate”) was created to encompass the annual District cost increases except for utilities. The second rate (the “Utility Rate”) was created to encompass the annual utility cost increases.

The Index is to be applied annually to the prior year’s maximum CPI Rate for each development/property type to pay for all costs except utilities. The maximum Utility Rate was established to pay for all utility costs for each development/property type and is to be increased annually by the percentage change in the budgeted amount for utilities as shown in the annual District’s fiscal year Engineer’s Reports. The increase in utility costs shall be calculated by taking the upcoming fiscal year’s budgeted amount for utilities and subtracting the District’s previous highest yearly budgeted amount for utilities. This difference is used to calculate the annual increase in the Utility Rate for each development/property type. The combination of the maximum CPI Rate and maximum Utility Rate (collectively, “Maximum Assessment Rate”) shall equal the Maximum Assessment Rate for the upcoming fiscal year. Please see Table 3 for details regarding the Maximum Assessment Rate for Fiscal Year 2025-26.

The timing of the annual percentage increase of the Index was changed beginning in 2018 and for each year thereafter for administrative purposes, to ensure the City is allowed the time necessary to have all annual documents prepared and approved by the 117

LANDSCAPE AND LIGHTING DISTRICT No. 1997-1 METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT 16 City Council by June of each year, and to meet both County submittal and statutory requirements. Each fiscal yea r starting in 2018, the C ity sha ll id entify t he an nual percentage difference in the Index between the most recent calendar year and that of the prior calendar year; more specifically, the annual percentage change used to escalate the prior year’s assessment rates for Fiscal Year 202 5-26 was determined based on the difference using the annual amount for calendar years 20 24 and 2023 . Should the Bureau of Labor Statistics revise such Index or discontinue the preparation of such Index, the City shall use the revised index or comparable index as approved by the City Council for determining fluctuations in the cost of living.

STREET LIGHTING DISTRICT No. 1999-1 INTRODUCTION
1 SECTION I

INTRODUCTION

The City of Dublin (“City”) levies and collects special assessments on parcels within the City of Dublin Street Lighting Maintenance District No. 1999-1 (“District”) to maintain the public street lighting improvements within the District.

The assessments and method of apportionment described in this Report utilize commonly accepted assessment engineering practices and have been calculated and proportionately spread to each parcel based on the special benefits received as approved by the City Council at the time the District was formed.

General Description of the District

The District was initially formed in 1999 to provide a dedicated source of funding for the ongoing maint enance of public street lighting improvements w ithin the boundaries of the Dublin Ranch development ( excluding the golf course). Tract 7067, which is the Clifden Parc development off Mountain Rise Place in the western hills of the City was annexed to the District in 2000, and Dublin Ranch Areas A and G were annexed in 2001. The remaining portions of Dublin Ranch, including areas B, C, F and H were annexed to the District in December 2005. Fallon Village (Tract 7586) was annexed to the District in 2007, and Jordan Ranch (Tract 8024, 8073 & 8074) was annexed to the District in 2011. Tract 8102, which is the Tassajara Hills Phase 1 development was annexed to the District in 2017. Tract 8563, which is the Francis Ranch development , was annexed to the District in 2023. One reason for the formation of the District was that a special decor ative lighting fixture was d esigned and installed throughout the area to create a c ommunity el ement as p art of the development. A Dia gram showing the exterior b oundaries of the Distri ct is pr ovided within this Report.

A reduced copy of the Assessment Diagram showing the exterior boundaries of the District is provided in Part C of this Report.

Compliance with the California Constitution

Assessments are levied annually within the District pursuant to the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972, Part 2 of Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code (“1972 Act”).

All assessments described in this Report and approved by the City Council are prepared in accordance with the 1972 Act and are in compliance with the provisions of the California Constitution Article XIIID (“Article XIIID”), which was enacted with the passage of Proposition 218 in November 1996.

The formation of this District was initiated by petition from the developer, and the City has determined it is compliant with the substantive and procedural requirements of Proposition 218 and the 1972 Act. At the time the District was formed, the property owners agreed to the inclusion of a formula for increasing assessments for each fiscal year to offset increases due to inflation as described in the assessment methodology. 124

STREET LIGHTING DISTRICT No. 1999-1 PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS 5 PART A

PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS

The District provides for the continued installation, maintenance, and servicing of street lighting improvements within the public rights-of-way and within public easements within private streets which provide special benefit to parcels and properties within the District.

For the first several years after the formation of the District, this District did not incur a significant maint enance cost; however, as the streetlights age, the number of repairs are increasing. In addition, a portion of the funds collected from the annual assessments of the District are being set aside for future capital improvement project costs in a separate improvement fund referred to as a Capital Improvement Fund (CIF). The CIF was established for proposed improvements and expenditures that are greater than can be conveniently
raised from a single annual assessment. Anticipated projects include LED conversions and pole painting. These funds are not considered part of the regular maintenance of the improvements or a part of the Operating Reserve Fund.

In Fiscal Year 2012-13, 321 streetlights in the District were retrofitted with new light emitting diode (LED) fixtures. The total construction cost for these improvements was $283,800. As part of this retrofit, the district received a one–time rebate amount of $39,950 from Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E).

As generally defined in the 1972 Act, maintenance and servicing of the street lighting improvements may include one or any combination of the following:

1) The installation or construction of public lighting facilities, including, but not limited to streetlights and traffic signals.
2) The installation or construction of any facilities which are appurtenant to any of the foregoing or which are necessary or convenient for the maintenance or servicing thereof; including but not limit ed to, grading, removal of debris, the installation or construction of curbs, gutters, walls, sidewalks, paving, or water, irrigation, drainage, or electrical facilities.
3) The maintenance or servicing, or both, of any of the foregoing including the furnishing of services and materials for the ordinary and usual maintenance, operation, and servicing of any improvement, including, but not limited to:
a) Repair, removal, or replacement of all or any part of any improvements; b) Grading, clearing, removal of debris, the installation, repair or construction of curbs, gutters, walls, sidewalks, paving, or water, irrigation, drainage, or electrical facilities;
c) The cleaning, sandblasting, and painting of walls and other improvements to remove or cover graffiti; and
d) Electric current or energy, gas, or other agent for the lighting or operation of any other improvements.
4) Incidental expenses associated with the improvements including, but not limited to:
a) The cost of preparation of the report, including plans, specifications, estimates, diagram, and assessment;
128
CITY OF DUBLIN FISCAL YEAR 2025-26
STREET LIGHTING DISTRICT No. 1999-1 PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS 6 b) The costs of printing, advertising, and the publishing, posting, and mailing of notices;
c) Compensation payable to the County for collection of assessments; d) Compensation of any engineer or attorney employed to render services; e) Any other expenses incidental to the construction, installation, or maintenance and servicing of the improvements; and
f) Costs associated with any elections held for the approval of a new or increased assessment.

Pursuant to the 1972 Act:

"Maintain" or "maintenance" means the furnishing of services and materials for the ordinary and usual maintenance, operation, and servicing of any improvement, including repair, removal, or replacement of all or any part of any improvement.

"Service" or "servicing" means the furnishing of electric current or energy, gas, or other illumin ating agent for any public lighting facilities or for the lighting or operation of any other improvements.

STREET LIGHTING DISTRICT No. 1999-1 METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT 12 PART D

METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT OF ASSESSMENTS

General

The 1972 Act permits the establishment of assessment districts by agencies for the purpose of providing certain public improvements which include the construction, maintenance and servicing of public lights, landscaping, and appurtenant facilities. The 1972 Act further requires that the cost of these improvements be levied according to benefit rather than assessed value:

“The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apporti oned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements.”

The formula used for calculating assessments in the District therefore reflects the composition of the parcels, and the improvements and services provided, to fairly apportion the costs based on estimated benefit to each parcel. In addition, pursuant to Article XIIID Section 4:

“No assessment shall be imposed on any parcel which exceeds the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel. Only special benefits are assessable, and an agency shall separate the general benefits from the special benefits conferred on a parcel.”

Benefit Analysis

Each of the improvements have been carefully reviewed by the City and the corresponding assessments have been proportionately spread to each parcel based on special benefits received from the improvement s as determined at the time the District was established.

General Benefits – In reviewing each of the District improvements, the proximity of those improvements to both properties within the District and those outside the District, as well as the reasons for installing and constructing such improvements, it is evident that the improvements are solely the result of developing properties within the District and the ongoing maintenance and operation of these improvement s will directly affect the properties within the District. Although the improvements include public areas, easements, rights-of-way, and other amenities available or visible to the public at large, the construction and installation of these improvements were only necessary for the development of properties within the District and were not required, nor necessarily desired by any properties or developments outside the District boundary and any public access or use of the improvements by others is incidental. Therefore, it has been 135
CITY OF DUBLIN FISCAL YEAR 2025-26
STREET LIGHTING DISTRICT No. 1999-1 METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT 13 determined that the improvements and the ongoing maintenance, servicing and operation of those improvements provide no measurable general benefit to properties outside the District or to the public at large, but clearly provide distinct and special benefits to properties within the District.

Special Benefits – The method of apportionment (method of assessment) established herein is based on the premise that each assessed parcel within the District receives special benefits from the improvements and the desirability and security of those properties is enhanced by the presence of public lighting in close proximity to those properties.

The special benefits of street lighting and other public lighting f acilities are for the convenience, safety, and security of property, improvements, and goods. Specifically:

1) Enhanced deterrence of crime and to aid police protection. 2) Increased nighttime safety on roads, streets, and public areas. 3) Improved ability of pedestrians and motorists to see. 4) Improved ingress and egress to property.
5) Reduced vandalism and other criminal acts and damage to improvements or property.
6) Improved traffic circulation and reduced nighttime accidents and personal property loss.

The preceding special benefits contribute to the aesthetic value and desirability of each of the assessed parcels within the District and thereby provide a special enhancement of the properties. Furthermore, it has been determined that the lack of funding to properly service and maintain the District improvements w ould have a negative impact on the properties within the District.

All the preceding special benefits contribute to a specific enhancement and desirability of each of the assessed parcels within the District.

Non-Assessable Properties – Within the boundaries of the District, there are several types of properties tha t are considered to receive no special benefit from the District improvements and are therefore not assessed. These parcels include:

1) Publicly owned parcels that are reserved as public open space or are developed as City parks for active recreation and are maintained and serviced by the District; 2) Publicly owned wetland parcels;
3) Certain public utility parcels;
4) Privately owned open space parcels; and
5) Privately owned "sliver" parcels that have resulted from a lot line adjustment with an adjacent larger parcel. The adjacent larger parcel, of which these "sliver" parcels are a part, are assessed at the residential rate.

136
CITY OF DUBLIN FISCAL YEAR 2025-26
STREET LIGHTING DISTRICT No. 1999-1 METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT 14 Assessment Methodology

The special benefits received by each parcel within the District and each parcel’s proportional annual assessment are calculated on the basis of a formula that utilizes Equivalent Dwelling Units (EDU). The EDU method of apportionment est ablishes a proportional benefit relationship between the various parcels within the District and the improvements maintained by the District. The typical single-family residential parcel is assigned 1.00 EDU since it represented more than 85% of the total parcels within the District.

EDUs are assigned to the other land uses based upon the property’s development status, type of developm ent (County of Alameda land use code) and property size as shown in the table below.

Single-Family Residential (SFR) – (County land use 1x, 2x, 7x) This land use identifies properties that are developed for single-family residential use and are assigned a factor of

1.00 EDU per parcel. This is the base value that all other land use types are compared and weighted against ( i.e., EDU). This land use classification may include, but is not limited to , lots or parcels identified as single- family residential homes, condominium, vacant residential land zoned for four units or less, planned development (tract or townhouse type), and modular/manufactured single- family residential unit s. Developed apartments are assigned a factor of 1.00 EDU per dwelling unit. Parcels with a vacant apartment land use are treated like commercial and assessed 5.50 EDU per acre.

Commercial – (County land use 3x, 8x, 9x) This land use identifies properties that are considered improved for commercial use and are assigned a factor of 5.50 EDU per gross acre. This land use classification may include, but is not limited to, lots or parcels identified as car washes, commercial garages, automotive dealerships, parking lots, parking garages, service stations, funeral homes, nursing or boarding homes, hospitals, hotels/motels, banks, medical -dental, single and multi -story office buildings, bowling alleys, theaters, vacant commercial land, department stores, discount stores, restaurants, shopping centers, supermark ets, comme rcial or industrial condominium prior to sale of one unit, and miscellaneous comme rcial. In addition, institutional property, such as schools and other types of public property are identified within this category.

Common Open Space – (County land use 0, 03-05, 65) This land use identifies properties that are exempt fr om assessment and are assigned 0.00 EDU. This land use classification may include, but is not limited to, lots or parcels identified as exempt public agencies, property leased or owned by public utilities, cem eteries, and planned development common areas.

Property Type EDU Factor
Single Family Residential (SFR) 1.00 per Parcel
Commercial 5.50 per Acre
Exempt, Cemeteries, Common Open Space 0.00 per Parcel

Street Lighting District No. 1999-1
137
CITY OF DUBLIN FISCAL YEAR 2025-26
STREET LIGHTING DISTRICT No. 1999-1 METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT 15 The following formulas are used to calculate each property’s assessment:

Total Balance to Levy / Total EDUs = Levy per EDU (Rate)

Parcel EDU x Levy per EDU = Parcel Levy Amount

Maximum Assessment Rate

It is recognized that the cost of maintaining the District improvements increases slightly every year because of inflation. At the time the District was formed, the property owners approved a formula for increasing assessments for each future fiscal year to offset increases in costs due to inflation.

The maximum assessment amount for each property type shal l be increased each fiscal year in an amount equal to the annual percentage increase of the local San Francisco- Oakland-San Jose Area Consumer Price Index (“Index”) for “All Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers” which is app lied to all costs except utilities (water and electricity), pl us the actual percentage increase in utility costs (collectively, “Annual Escalation Factor”).

In order to implement the District’s Annual Escalation Factor annually, two rates were developed based on the cost estimate that was prepared at the time the property owners approved the annual escalator. The first rate (the “CPI Rate”) was created to encompass the annual District cost increases except for utilities. The second rate (the “Utility Rate”) was created to encompass the annual utility cost increases.

The Index is to be applied annually to the prior year’s maximum CPI Rate for each property type to pay for all costs except utilities. The maximum Utility Rate was established to pay for all utility costs for each property type and is to be increased annually by the percentage change in the budgeted amount for utilities as shown in the annual District’s fiscal year Engineer’s Reports . The increase in utility costs shall be calculated by taking the upcoming fiscal year’s budgeted amount for utilities and subtracting the District’s previous highest yearly budgeted amount for utilities. This difference is used to calculate the annual increase in the Utility Rate for each property type. The combination of the maximum CPI Rate and maximum Utility Rate (collectively, “Maximum Assessment Rate”) shall equal the Maximum Assessment Rate for the upcoming fiscal year. Please see Table 3 for details regarding the Maximum Assessment Rate for Fiscal Year 2025-26.

The timing of the annual percentage increase of the Index was changed beginning in 2018 and for each year thereafter for administrative purposes, to ensure the City is allowed the time necessary to have all annual documents prepared and approved by the City Council by June of each year, and to meet both County submittal and statutory requirements. Each fiscal year starting in 2018, the City shall identify t he annual percentage difference in the Index between the most recent calendar year and that of the prior calendar year; more specifically, the annual percentage change used to escalate the prior year’s assessment rates for Fiscal Year 2025 -26 was determined based on the difference using the annual amount for calendar years 202 4 and 202 3. Should the 138
CITY OF DUBLIN FISCAL YEAR 2025-26
STREET LIGHTING DISTRICT No. 1999-1 METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT 16 Bureau of Labor Statistics revise such Index or discontinue the preparation of such Index, the City shall use the revised index or comparable index as approved by the City Council for determining fluctuations in the cost of living. The following table shows the Maximum Assessment Rates allowable for Fiscal Year 2025-26.

If the City Council determines that an inflation adjustment is not required for a given fiscal year, the City Council may authorize the ensuing fiscal year’s assessment without applying the adjustment formula to the amount levied. If the cost estimate and assessments for the District require an increase greater than the adjustment set forth in the formula, then the proposed increase would be subject to approval by the District property owners. Each fiscal year, the maximum assessment rate shall increase at the maximum amount allowable regardless of whether the increase is levied to the parcels within the District.

3 Equals the % difference between the Fiscal Year 2024/25 and FY 2025/26 Maximum Utility Rate. If the Utility Budget does not increase, no increase will be realized.
4 Equals the Fiscal Year 2025/26 Maximum CPI Rate + Maximum Utility Rate.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL

OF THE CITY OF DUBLIN

DESIGNATING FIRE HAZARD SEVERITY ZONES IN THE CITY OF DUBLIN BASED ON

THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE STATE FIRE MARSHAL
WHEREAS, State law requires the State Fire Marshal to identify areas in the state as moderate, high, and very high fire hazard and notify the City, and requires the City, upon receiving the State Fire Marshal’s transmittal of the identifications, to designate by ordinance moderate, high, and very high fire hazard severity zones within the City, which designations cannot decrease the level of level fire hazard severity zone as identified by the State Fire Marshal; and WHEREAS, the State Fire Marshal on February 24, 2025 transmitted its identifications to the City, and in accordance with Government Code section 51178.5, the City made the information available for public review and comment on February 28, 2025; and WHEREAS, the City Fire Marshal, after reviewing the Fire Hazard Severity Zones map, concurs with the State’s identifications.

Exhibit A depicts the zones within the City of Dublin, and the official maps are on file with the City’s Geographic Information System Coordinator.

Section 2. Effective Date. This Ordinance shall take effect and be enforced 30 days following its final adoption.

Agenda Item 8.1
DATE: April 1, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Colleen Tribby, City Manager
SUBJECT: Introduction of an Ordinance Designating Fire Hazard Severity Zones in the City of Dublin
Prepared by: Bonnie Terra, Division Chief and Hazel L. Wetherford, Deputy City Manager
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The City Council will consider introducing an ordinance designating fire hazard severity zones in the City of Dublin
as recommended by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection and in accordance with Government Code Section 51179.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Waive the reading and INTRODUCE the Ordinance Designating Fire Hazard Severity Zones in the City of Dublin
Based on the Recommendation of the State Fire Marshal.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

None.

DESCRIPTION:

California law requires the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) to develop fire hazard severity zones within a State Responsibility Area (SRA) and a Local
Responsibility Area (LRA). An SRA is an area where the State has financial responsibility for wildland fire protection and prevention, whereas an LRA is where the local government is responsible for wildfire protection.

Assembly Bill 337 (Bates 1992), spurred by the devastating Oakland Hills fire of 1991, directed CAL FIRE to evaluate fire hazard severity in LRAs and to make recommendations to the local governments where very high fire hazard severity zones exist. These zones have been updated periodically, with the most recent updates occurring between 2008 and 2011. During the last update, Dublin was not designated with any very high fire hazard severity zones.

Attachment 3
169

Page 2 of 2 ends

Recent changes in state law – Senate Bill 63 (2021) and Assembly Bill 211 (2022) – have expanded CAL FIRE’s responsibilities to include designation of moderate, high, and very high fire hazard severity zones. In alignment with these changes, the State Fire Marshal released updated maps identifying all three categories on February 24, 2025. Pursuant to Government Code Section 51179, local governments are required to adopt an ordinance designating these zones within their communities no later than 120 days after receiving the updated LRA maps.

Upon receipt of the map (Attachment 2), and in accordance with State regulations, Staff made the map available for public review on the City’s website, with a public comment period running from February 28, 2025 to March 30, 2025. At the time this Staff Report was prepared, the City had received 28 public comments as summarized in Attachment 3. While Staff responded to each comment, state law does not permit local governments to request changes or provide comments on the fire hazard severity zone designations issued by the State Fire Marshal.

The updated LRA map for Dublin designates areas as moderate and high fire hazard severity zones but does not include any very high zones. Notably, the City’s Wildfire Management Plan helps reduce the risk of open land wildfire to the lowest practical level consistent with reasonable protection of wildlife habitat and other open space values. Additionally, since there are no very high fire hazard severity zones designated in Dublin, the 100-foot defensible space clearance requirement per state law is not required. However, properties in the high fire hazard severity zone are subject to requirements outlined in the California Building Code, Chapter 7A – Materials and Construction Methods for Exterior Wildfire Exposure. These requirements are focused on ignition-resistant materials to be used for things like roofing, vents, eaves, exterior walls, windows and glazing, decking, rain gutters, and fences. These requirements would apply to the design and construction of new buildings in this zone. Property owners are also required to make a natural hazard disclosure as part of a real estate transfer. There are no additional requirements for properties in the moderate fire hazard severity zone.

Finally, adopting an ordinance within 120 days of receiving LRA designations from the State Fire Marshal is required by State law and would formally designate moderate and high fire hazard severity zones in the City of Dublin.

STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE:

None.

Agenda Item 6.1
DATE: April 15, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Colleen Tribby, City Manager
SUBJECT: Status Update on Vacancies in Compliance with Assembly Bill 2561 Prepared by: Sarah Monnastes, Human Resources Director
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The City Council will conduct a public hearing on position vacancies for 2024, in compliance with Assembly Bill 2561 – Local public employees; vacant positions.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Conduct the public hearing, deliberate, and by motion, direct Staff to continue recruitment and retention efforts.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

None.

DESCRIPTION:

Background
On September 22, 2024, Governor Newsom signed Assembly Bill (AB) 2561 into law. This law established new requirements for local public agencies to hold at least one public hearing per fiscal year to report on their job vacancies and efforts related to recruitment and retention. AB 2561 is codified as Government Code section 3502.3 and became effective on January 1, 2025.

Under AB 2561, local agencies must:

1. Conduct at least one public hearing each fiscal year to present the status of vacant positions and related recruitment/retention strategies.

2. Hold the hearing prior to adoption of an annual or multi-year budget, if applicable.

3. Identify any necessary changes to policies, procedures, or recruitment practices that may hinder hiring efforts.

4. Provide recognized employee organizations the opportunity to present during the hearing. (Note: This provision does not apply to the City of Dublin, as no employee unions represent 171

Page 2 of 3 ends

City staff).

The intent of AB 2561 is to improve transparency regarding staffing shortages and ensure that the governing body and the public are informed about how vacancies affect service delivery. This law also provides a platform to discuss hiring challenges and potential solutions in a public setting.

While AB 2561 does not impose penalties, it sets an expectation for ongoing public reporting and engagement on workforce-related matters.
2024 Vacancy Report
In calendar year 2024, the City’s average vacancy rate for regular, full-time equivalent (FTE) positions was 5.05%. A total of 11 employees separated from City employment during this period.

Vacancies occurred due to various factors, including retirement, internal promotions, external job opportunities and personal circumstances (e.g., commuting preferences). Table 1 provides a month-by-month- summary of vacancies.

STAFF REPORT

CITY COUNCIL

Page 1 of 11 ends

Agenda Item 8.1
DATE: April 15, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Colleen Tribby, City Manager
SUBJECT: Preliminary Fiscal Year 2025-26 General Fund Budget Prepared by: Jay Baksa, Finance Director
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The City Council will review the Preliminary Fiscal Year 2025-26 Budget, focusing on the General Fund. The review will include a refined projection of the current year and an update to the 10- Year Forecast. This is the second year of the City's two-year budget; therefore, this information will supplement the budget document adopted by the City Council in June 2024. The updated Capital Improvement Program is presented under a separate item.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Receive the report and provide direction to Staff related to the budget adoption scheduled for the first City Council meeting in June.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

The update to the second year of the City’s two-year budget results in a decrease to revenues of $319,051 and an increase to operating expenditures of $3,315,216 in the General Fund as compared to the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Forecast Budget that was presented in June 2024. After transfers out, total General Fund reserves are projected at $259,247,519, a decrease of $6,648,252 from the Forecast Budget.

DESCRIPTION:

Background
The City of Dublin utilizes a biennial budget process, in which a comprehensive budget document is prepared that establishes high-level priorities and specific departmental goals for a two-year period. The second year of the cycle is the "update year," in which projections are revised to account for new and updated costs, while the original document continues to serve as the guiding financial plan.

As in prior years, this report focuses on the General Fund, as there are no major budgetary changes in other funds. This report will discuss the updates to the City's major revenue categories and recommended updates to the City’s expenditure projections, reflecting the most recent information available.

Updated Projections, Fiscal Year 2024-25
On February 18, 2025, Staff presented a mid-year financial review to the City Council that showed $132.5 million in total General Fund revenue in the current year, reflecting an increase of $4 million over the budget due to higher interest income. Staff utilized the most up-to-date information in preparing the mid-year report, including sales tax figures from the third quarter of 2024 (July – September 2024). Furthermore, and as a matter of conservative practice, Staff included changes to major revenues only in the mid-year report and assumed that all expenditure budgets would be spent.

In early April 2025, Staff received the sales summary for the fourth quarter of 2024 showing a dramatic drop in the auto market, which makes up almost 40% of the City’s sales tax base. In that quarter alone, revenue from auto sales dropped over $600,000 from the same quarter last year.

Applying such reductions to the first and second quarters of 2025 (January – June) results in a decrease of $1.8 million in the current fiscal year, from $30.5 million to $28.7 million.

Moreover, the City’s consultant expects the decline in the auto sector to continue into Fiscal Year 2025-26, and for an uncertain national economic climate (i.e., weakened consumer confidence) to cause a softening across all sales sectors. The impact is a decrease of $3.8 million in anticipated revenue next year. Chart 1 below illustrates these points.

Because of the significance of this information, Staff has worked to refine the Fiscal Year 2024-25 year-end numbers. In reality, City expenditures almost always end the year under budget,
