LITHIUM VALLEY ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY INVESTMENT PLAN
Summary
Lithium/rare-mineral mining/processing/manufacturing and renewable energy generation/storage possess the opportunity to propel the economic future of Imperial County residents for generations.

Introduction
The County of Imperial desires to increase the overall wealth of its residents through private economic investment into the Imperial Valley Region in the form of lithium and rare mineral extraction, processing and manufacturing/packaging for end-user applications and renewable energy generation/storage in the form of geothermal, solar, wind and energy storage. The Imperial County Lithium Valley Economic Opportunity Investment Plan will be accomplished through specific actions of the County of Imperial, State of California and the United States Federal Government.

Lithium is a vital mineral in the rechargeable batteries used by consumers in portable computing devices, electric vehicles and battery storage. More than 80% of the world’s raw lithium is mined in Australia, Chile, and China.

Currently, Currently, China controls more than half of the world’s lithium processing and refining and has threefourths of the lithium-ion battery mega factories in the world, according to the International Energy Agency.

Today, the United States has only 1% of global lithium being mined and processed, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. Imperial County, California is blessed with an abundance of Geothermal Brine at the Salton Sea. The earth heated brine is rich in critical minerals needed for the production of batteries and alloys, including lithium, manganese and zinc.

Industry professionals estimate there may be as much as fifteen (15) million tons of lithium in Imperial County that would take 50-100 years to extract. Additionally, there is an estimated 1,000-1,500 MW of additional geothermal energy generation available. The mining of lithium (and other rare-earth minerals) in addition to geothermal power generation provide the opportunity for the United States to have greater control over needed material in the supply chain for electric vehicles and consumer/commercial electronics while providing greater stability to our energy supply.

Benefits of Economic Investment

State of California
Employment opportunities which reduce individual reliance on social services.

Education/training providing for an enhanced workforce to propel a variety of industries (primary and secondary).

Tax Revenue providing financial resources to the State of California to fund education (K-16+), infrastructure, public safety, social services and quality of life activities.

Environmental improvements by providing necessary products to propel rechargeable zero-emission transportation.

Digital connectivity and productivity by providing necessary resources used for consumer and commercial application communication.

Vertical production capability to increase assembly/manufacturing in California, creating products exported domestically and internationally.

Energy Supply stability is enhanced by additional base-load renewable energy generation from geothermal facilities providing needed power when solar/wind is unable to produce.

Renewable Energy compliant with Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS) in the form of geothermal energy generation produced in California for Californian’s.

United States Federal Government
National Security: lithium/rare-minerals and renewable energy generation are key to the National Security interests of the United States. The case for renewable energy is simple – its cleaner and safer for the environment and it is domestically produced. For lithium and rare-minerals, high value communication products (both consumer and commercial scale) depend on these elements. Reliance on foreign nations for these products places our communication systems at risk of geopolitical instability.

Environmental transformation: as the United States continues marching toward rechargeable vehicles, lithium is an essential element for batteries. In order to achieve its climate change goals, the country needs a long-term, stable and preferably domestic source of lithium, otherwise the United States is at the mercy of other nations which again exposes our interests to geopolitical instability.

Supply Chain Certainty: historically, United States consumer demand for passenger vehicles and light trucks exceeds fifteen million vehicles per annum. This is exclusive of commercial and mass-transit vehicles. The ability to deliver vehicles to consumers at a “affordable” price is dependent on mass production in order to maximize efficiency. Supply chain certainly is at the heart of scaled efficiency. As with many other raw and semi-finished materials, it is incumbent on the United States to have capacity within our nation.

In its purest form, self-determination is defined as the process by which a person controls their own life. For purposes of the Lithium Valley Economic Opportunity Investment Plan this shall be defined as the process by which the County of Imperial controls its economic future as it relates to lithium/rare mineral extraction, processing, manufacturing and renewable energy generation and storage through specific actions that will be taken with intention and transparency.

Specific Actions of the County of Imperial

1. Board of Supervisors adopting a Resolution in support of the Lithium Valley Economic Opportunity Investment Plan.

2. Board of Supervisors creating a subcommittee known as the Lithium Valley Economic Opportunity Investment Plan Subcommittee comprised of two (2) members of the Board of Supervisors.

3. Creation of an internal working group to the County Board of Supervisors to include:
 Lithium Valley Subcommittee (2 persons of the Board of Supervisors)  County Executive Officer
 County Counsel
 County Director of Planning and Development Services
 County Director of Intergovernmental Relations
 Contract Economist/Economic Development Consultant to the County.

4. County of Imperial seeking voter approval to establish appropriate remuneration for lithium/rare mineral mining and power generation/storage to provide appropriate financial benefits to the County (as a municipal corporation) and community organizations that further the economic interests of the region.

Said remuneration shall be used to address environmental impacts of industry and infrastructure improvements. The remuneration vehicle shall provide tax credits for lithium/rare mineral extraction used within Imperial County for mid-stream processes (may include but not be limited to processing and manufacturing).

5. County of Imperial establishing a Lithium Valley Project Ombudsperson to work directly with economic investors seeking to engage in lithium/rare-mineral mining and renewable energy generation to provide enhanced communication by and between internal departments to the County as well as assistance in communication with State and Federal Agencies.

6. County of Imperial exploring economic viability of an Enhanced Infrastructure Finance District (EIFD) to finance infrastructure improvements.

7. County of Imperial providing leadership (Subcommittee of the Board of Supervisors) and professional staff resources for which to locally implement the specific actions requested of the State of California and the United States Federal Government, including the following:
a. Effectuate rule changes giving local jurisdictions authority to entitle and permit up to 99.9 MW of energy generation and changes to definition of “net-to-grid”. b. Create a Specific Plan (SP) for Lithium Valley within Imperial County. c. Create a Programmatic Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for Lithium Valley within Imperial County d. Create and implement the Lithium Valley Development Office to assist with the development of lithium/rare-mineral mining, ancillary processing, assembly and manufacturing and renewable energy generation projects.

Packet Pg. 10
Attachment: LithiumValleyInvestmentPlanLVIP FINAL Watermark (1) (5488 : Lithium Valley Economic Opportunity Investment Plan) Lithium Valley Economic Opportunity Investment Plan (Imperial County LVIP) Page 4 of 8 e. Assist State and local agencies in the development, construction and operation of a California Polytechnic University or similar institution to provide education and training in support of lithium/rare-mineral mining and renewable energy generation.

Specific Actions Requested of the State of California
Governor Newsom identified Lithium Valley in remarks on his fiscal year 2022-23 proposed budget, The California Blueprint which was released on January 10, 2022. “We have what someone described as the Saudi Arabia of lithium right here in the state of California down in Imperial County near the Salton Sea,” Newson remarked.

Imperial County agrees with the Governor’s assessment and Lithium Valley can produce these valuable resources in an environmentally-conscious way. Each proposed lithium extraction plant would be a closed-loop system, without the creation of open pits or solar evaporation ponds. California and the United States can secure a strategic mineral resource and promoted environmentally-friendly business practices.

Delegating planning and permitting authority of Geothermal Development up to 99.9 Megawatts generation, to the County of Imperial. (Currently limited to 49.9 Megawatts) Currently, Imperial County is authorized to permit Geothermal Power Plants that generate up to 49.9 MWs, and a developer wishing to construct a Geothermal Power Plant 50MWs or larger is required to follow the California Energy Commission’s (“CEC”) Application for Certification Process (“AFC”). However, the CEC’s Small Power Plant Exemption Program (“SPPE”) allows for a proposed Thermal Power Plant project to be exempted from the AFC when: 1) the project will generate between 50 and 100 MWs; and 2) the CEC has made a determination that the project will not have a significant effect on the environment or energy resources. Imperial County is respectfully requesting that the (“CEC”) grant our County the ability to permit Geothermal Power Plants up to the maximum

99.9 MWs in accordance with the SPPE.

Further, formally change the definition of “net-to-grid” to provide opportunity for energy generation facilities in Imperial County to deliver power to themselves (parasitic load), adjacent users (affiliated and non-affiliated) and micro-grid users (affiliated and non-affiliated) within five (5) miles of the boundaries of the host site. Host site shall be defined as the parcel at which the power generation facility is located (or all parcels if facility is located on multiple parcels). When said changes are granted by the State of California, it will kick start both the development of mineral recovery and increase the State baseload renewable power portfolio.

Provide Direct Funding to Imperial County for the Lithium Valley Specific Plan and Programmatic Environmental Impact Report ($5,000,000) to be available within 30 days of adoption of the FY 2022-23 State Budget The Lithium Valley Specific Plan and Program EIR seeks to help meet the State of California’s renewable energy production goals, while providing Industry with a clear timeline for project delivery. The Specific Plan’s goal is built upon this effort, expanding the development opportunities, both in additional geothermal energy production along with mineral recovery, hydrogen, biofuels, and renewable (cathode, battery, electric vehicle) manufacturing facilities. The Program EIR ensures consideration of CEQA requirements and environmental impacts on a large project area plus avoids duplication of individual project CEQA reviews.

There are a number of other sectors of the renewability that the Salton Sea Resource has the potential to develop.

This includes: 1) creating environmentally safe and renewable mineral recovery through geothermal brine, 2) developing other sustainable fuels such as green hydrogen and bio-based fuels, and 3) recycling and reusing

Attachment: LithiumValleyInvestmentPlanLVIP FINAL Watermark (1) (5488 : Lithium Valley Economic Opportunity Investment Plan) Lithium Valley Economic Opportunity Investment Plan (Imperial County LVIP) Page 5 of 8 organic (plant based) and inorganic mineral waste (battery recovery), both diverting from landfills and reducing the depletion of raw materials.

Imperial County released a Specific Plan and Programmatic Environmental Impact Report (EIR) Request for Proposals on January 13, 2022. The responses will be brought to the Imperial County Board of Supervisors in March 2022, with a recommendation to award. We are seeking support and funding of the Lithium Valley Specific Plan and Program EIR, with an estimated cost of $5 million to be made directly available to the County of Imperial within 30 days of adoption of the FY 2022-23 State of California Budget.

Direct Funding to the County of Imperial for the Lithium Valley Development Office ($500,000 annually, increasing by 5% per annum) for a period of ten (10 years) beginning with the FY 2022-23 State Budget Imperial County is seeking support and funding of a Lithium Valley Development Office, located in Imperial County.

The office function will be to provide direct feedback to the development on project status and shepherd projects through the County of Imperial permitting and planning offices. In addition, the office will follow the Lithium Valley Specific Plan and Program EIR, answer Industry inquiries, and encourage ancillary business development in Lithium Valley.

The Lithium Valley Development Office will include an economic development officer, civil engineer, planner and analyst. Each position would be limited term and compensated at 30% greater than the current corresponding County pay structure. The team will report to the Imperial County Board of Supervisors and provide collaboration reports to the California Energy Commission, Lithium Valley Commission and Governor’s Office of Economic Development (GOBIZ). The estimated cost is $500,000 annually (increasing by 5% per annum) and would be for a term of ten (10) years, between July 1, 2022, and June 30, 2031.

State of California Support and Assistance in creation of an Imperial County Severance Tax or Resource Levy for critical minerals (delegated authority to Imperial County) In November 2022, the County of Imperial shall seek voter approval to establish appropriate remuneration for lithium/rare mineral mining and power generation/storage to provide appropriate financial benefits to the County (as a municipal corporation) and community organizations that further the economic interests of the region.

The State of California shall support this self-determination effort so that the County of Imperial and its residents will directly benefit from the production of lithium/rare minerals and renewable energy resources being exported elsewhere in California, the nation and internationally. A mineral tax/levy/fee would be directed to infrastructure, environmental mitigation, and community enhancement, all within Imperial County.

Infrastructure needs are being identified by Imperial County Public Works and the Lithium Valley Specific Plan.

Already, Imperial County has invested in the repair and reopening of two (2) critical bridges that serve the Lithium Valley Area. As the Salton Sea recedes, additional Geothermal resources and mineral extraction sites will need road and utility connection. A guaranteed revenue allows Imperial County to make the improvements, as industry demands grow.

Environmental mitigation needs are found at the South Salton Sea. Air pollution dust control projects, wetlands, remediation, land reclamation, and tree planting are some of the measures available. These projects would be on land around or near the Lithium Valley area.

1.a
Packet Pg. 12
Attachment: LithiumValleyInvestmentPlanLVIP FINAL Watermark (1) (5488 : Lithium Valley Economic Opportunity Investment Plan) Lithium Valley Economic Opportunity Investment Plan (Imperial County LVIP) Page 6 of 8 Community enhancement needs are items that make our neighborhoods alive. Imperial County, in partnership with the Cities and Special Districts within the County would begin investment in cultural projects, music, art, parks and education endowment. Celebrating the contributions of our diverse community and encouraging some of the new workforce to locate in our communities.

The State of California will work cooperatively with the County of Imperial relative to any fee/taxation being discussed by State officials in an effort to ensure that such fees/taxes combined with local fees/taxes (for the benefit of the host community/region) do not place an undue burden on the industry, thus making lithium/raremineral extraction and geothermal energy generation unfeasible.

Support and Funding of a Cal-Poly campus in Imperial County ($100 million) or Expansion of Current/Past Efforts (including cooperatives with UC Riverside and UC Davis to include educational opportunities in engineering, geology and chemistry for which to train/support the lithium industry in Imperial County) Imperial County requests the support and funding of a California Polytechnical University in Lithium Valley. A CalPoly campus would provide the engineers and chemists needed to work in the geothermal and lithium development sector; as well as any co-locating cathode or battery company workforce needs. The polytechnical college provides opportunities for the vocational and technical development of the workforce as well, plus it would complement the need for supporting our continuing agricultural business.

As an immediate action, the State of California would establish a Cal-Poly extension at the three hundred (300) acres site in Brawley, California. The property was previously donated by a local businessperson with the hopes that a full four-year university would be established. The site has some superstructures, though is currently vacant.

The on-site buildings could be remodeled and re-opened to immediately establish a Cal-Poly extension on this land with temporary classrooms/laboratories while a full campus is designed and constructed. The need is immediate.

Support and Provide Seed-Funding a Reference Lab for Lithium Purity Testing The value and use applicability of metals, minerals and other elements rely on their laboratory-tested purity.

Laboratory facilities must be located at or near actual mining facilities for quality control purposes. As the host community for lithium extraction, the Imperial Valley must have appropriate testing facilities to ultimately benefit commercial and consumer applications of lithium and other rare-earth minerals. Such a facility could be run as a cooperative serving many different extraction operations and (ultimately) be paid for out of a remuneration tax or fee.

Go-Biz Tax Credit Carve-Out for Lithium, Geothermal
The County of Imperial requests that the State of California dedicate $5,000,000 annually for new Employment Tax Credits for employers within appropriate NAICS codes making new investments of lithium/rare-mineral mining in Imperial County for a period of five (5) years (time period of FY 2024 through FY 2028). This carve-out would provide the impetus for lithium/rare-mineral mining/processing/manufacturing and geothermal energy generation to begin immediately to meet the market demands and thus providing for supply-chain and environmental benefits to the State of California sooner.

Executive Order or Legislative Action exempting lithium/rare-mineral and geothermal producers from additional compliance from CEQA after PEIR and SP
The County of Imperial requests that the State of California take an executive or legislative action that results in the exclusion of current and future projects that are within the County’s (to be created) Specific Plan and

1.a
Packet Pg. 13
Attachment: LithiumValleyInvestmentPlanLVIP FINAL Watermark (1) (5488 : Lithium Valley Economic Opportunity Investment Plan) Lithium Valley Economic Opportunity Investment Plan (Imperial County LVIP) Page 7 of 8 Programmatic Environmental Impact Report from further environmental review, such as the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

Specific Actions Requested of the United States Federal Government The United States Department of Energy (U.S. energy Secretary Granholm) produced the National Blueprint for Lithium Batteries (released in June 2021). It outlined the need for lithium production as a means of propelling the United States economy and providing for environmental improvements. It quotes President Biden’s Executive Order 14008 “Tackling the Climate Crisis Home and Abroad” (1/27/21). Lithium/rare-mineral mining and renewable energy generation domestically helps reduce American reliance on foreign sources for needed manufacturing inputs and energy production.

The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021 provides $1.2 trillion of future spending from the United States Federal Government on various programs and projects. Included in this is about $550 billion of direct spending on infrastructure projects. Imperial County’s Lithium Valley Economic Opportunity Investment Plan needs the direct involvement and investment from the Federal Government.

The Infrastructure Bill included future spending in the following categories that can be used to propel the Lithium Valley Economic Opportunity Investment Plan:

Roads & Bridges: $157 billion
Railways: $66 billion
Electrical Grid: $65 billion
Environmental Remediation: $21 billion
Portions of the Infrastructure Bill can be utilized to help propel investment in lithium/rare-mineral mining and renewable energy generation in Imperial County:

Roads & Bridges ($157 billion): Imperial County needs an allocation of $50 million to provide for road and bridge infrastructure to portions of the region where lithium/rare-mineral mining and renewable power generation occur.

This will provide the opportunity for increased access in a safe manner for production equipment and construction/operational personnel.

Railways ($66 billion): An estimated 15,000,000 tons of lithium will be extracted over a 50+ year period (Upstream). Some of this material will be used directly in midstream (material processing, and cell manufacturing). Ultimately almost all either upstream or midstream material/products will be exported out of Imperial County to end-users. Rail is an efficient and effective means to move these materials and goods. Imperial County needs $1 billion of railway upgrades in the form of additional tracks, loading and siding/spur infrastructure.

Electrical Grid ($65 billion): The process of lithium and rare-mineral extraction (in the case of Imperial County) also generates significant geothermal (baseload) power. Energy production is reliant on transmission and distribution.

Expanded capacity is needed to move energy from Imperial Valley to more populous areas throughout California and the Western United States. Imperial County requests $500 million in funding offsets for grid upgrades and wheeling charges from energy producers.

Packet Pg. 14
Attachment: LithiumValleyInvestmentPlanLVIP FINAL Watermark (1) (5488 : Lithium Valley Economic Opportunity Investment Plan) Lithium Valley Economic Opportunity Investment Plan (Imperial County LVIP) Page 8 of 8 Environmental Remediation ($21 billion): Lithium battery production will (ultimately) generate an issue at the back end, “End-of-life recycling and reuse”. Without significant advanced planning and investment, this will become an immense environmental issue for generations to come. The Federal Government has the opportunity to utilize funds from the Infrastructure Bill to invest in appropriate facilities for “End of Life Recycling and Reuse.” Imperial County believes such activities should occur where (or near) the lithium was originally mined and processed. The Federal Government should allocate up to $500 million in direct funding and/or loan guarantees for companies that desire to build/operate End of Life Recycling and Reuse facilities in Imperial County to support the lithium battery and technology industry.

Call to Action
The Lithium Valley Economic Opportunity Investment Plan will create billions of dollars of private economic investment in Imperial County producing lithium/rare-minerals and renewable energy helping propel the United States economy for generations. This will result in employment opportunities for residents of the region and tax revenue at the local, state and federal government.

The success of the Lithium Valley Economic Opportunity Investment Plan relies on the adoption and funding of the Plan at all levels of government (County, State and Federal). The actions needed by each level of government are outlined quantitively within the plan. It is incumbent on each participant to take immediate action on their portion of the plan in order to achieve the desired outcome for economic investment.

RE: Support for Imperial County’s Lithium Valley Economic Opportunity Investment Plan Dear Governor Newsom, Senator Hueso and Assemblyman Garcia:

On behalf of [ORGANIZATION OR JURISDICTION], I am writing to share with you our support of Imperial County’s Lithium Valley Economic Opportunity Investment Plan.

Imperial County includes several disadvantaged communities and is one of the poorest counties in the state. We believe this proposal, among other efforts, enables an efficient, secure and fair development of an industry that has the potential to propel and improve the economic and environmental future of Imperial County residents for generations to come.

In order to ensure we create the environment necessary to realize the massive potential for the County, California, and the nation, we need to be both thoughtful and aggressive in our development of this opportunity. That is why the Imperial County Board of Supervisors has adopted the Lithium Valley Economic Opportunity Investment Plan (“Plan”). This Plan articulates the local, statewide, and national benefits of this endeavor. It also prescribes the specific activities we believe are necessary for the County, the State, and the Federal governments to undertake in order to best capitalize on those benefits.

Specially, the Plan outlines specific requests of the State, such as:
• the increase of the County’s delegated authority to permit geothermal power plants from 49.9 to 99.9 MWs;
• funding of $5 million to the County for the creation of a Lithium Valley Specific Plan and Programmatic Environmental Impact Report (EIR) to assist with providing industry with a clear timeline for project delivery; • funding for a Lithium Valley Development Office for 10 years that will provide direct feedback to the development on project status and shepherd projects through the permitting and planning process;
• support and assistance in the creation of an Imperial County Severance Tax or Resource Levy for critical minerals where the fees would be directed to infrastructure, environmental mitigation, and community enhancements;

1.b
Packet Pg. 16
Attachment: LVIP Sample Support Letter_edit (5488 : Lithium Valley Economic Opportunity Investment Plan) • funding for a Cal-Poly campus in Imperial County, or similar higher education campus, or expand current or past efforts to provide the engineers and chemists needed to work in the lithium development sector;
• seed-funding for a reference lab for lithium purity testing at or near the extraction facilities for quality control purposes; and
• annual funding for the period of 5 years for a new Go-Biz Tax Credit for lithium/rare-mineral mining at Lithium Valley.

Given the critical nature of this endeavor, we strongly urge you to do everything you can to help Imperial County make this plan a reality. We greatly appreciate your time and attention. If you have any questions please contact [CONTACT NAME, EMAIL, PHONE].

Sincerely,
[NAME]

DISCUSSION:

If the City wishes to continue with virtual meetings, then the Council should consider and adopt this Resolution. It will apply to all Brown Act covered bodies within the City.

The previous teleconferencing provisions continue to apply but only for Council members on a trip or vacation do not change.

The bases for determining to continue virtual meeting participation are either the inability effectively to socially distance at public meetings (a health and safety issue) or a determination that a public meeting would present imminent danger to the participants. The inability to socially distance is set out in this Resolution.

In addition, AB 361 states requirements for virtual meetings (many of which were part of various Governor’s orders): requirements for clear noticing, allowing time for public comment during meetings, and observance of all statutory and constitutional rights of participants. The public may not be required to provide written comments in advance of the meeting. The legislation also provides that if the internet connection is lost, the meeting must stop until it is reacquired. Action taken without an internet connection is subject to challenge.

The ability to hold a virtual meeting lasts only as long as the Governor’s declaration of a statewide emergency. The Council may terminate virtual meetings at any time before that.

WHEREAS, the City is committed to preserving and encouraging public access and participation in City Council meetings; and
WHEREAS, all meetings of the City’s legislative bodies are open and public, as required by the Ralph M. Brown Act (Cal. Gov. Code 54950 – 54963), so that any member of the public may attend, participate, and watch the City’s legislative bodies conduct their business; and
WHEREAS, Government Code section 54953(e), added to the Brown Act effective October 1, 2021, makes provisions for remote teleconferencing participation in meetings by members of a legislative body, without compliance with the requirements of Government Code section 54953(b)(3), subject to the existence of certain conditions; and WHEREAS, a required condition is that a state of emergency has been declared by the Governor pursuant to Government Code section 8625, proclaiming the existence of conditions of disaster or of extreme peril to the safety of persons and property within the state caused by conditions as described in Government Code section 8558; and WHEREAS, a proclamation is made when there is an actual incident, threat of disaster, or extreme peril to the safety of persons and property within the jurisdictions that are within the City’s boundaries, caused by natural, technological, or human-caused disasters; and WHEREAS, it is further required that state or local officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing, or have determined that meeting in person would present imminent risks to the health and safety of attendees; and WHEREAS, such conditions now exist in the City, specifically, as the state of emergency declared by the City on March 17, 2020 and by Governor Newsom on March 4, 2020 each continues; and
WHEREAS, social distancing orders are in place at the state and County level for indoor public meetings and, given the size of the Council Chambers imposing such social distancing measures could present an imminent risk to the health and safety of attendees and enforcement of such rules could deter participation in a Board meeting; and WHEREAS, the City Council does hereby find that the combination of the emergency order and the requirement for social distancing has caused, and will continue to cause, conditions of peril to the safety of persons within the City that are likely to be beyond the control of services, personnel, equipment, and facilities of the City, and desires to rely upon

A. INTRODUCTION
The City of El Centro (“City”) created the Buena Vista Landscaping and Lighting District (“District”) in order to provide for the ongoing operation, maintenance and servicing of median landscaping, certain perimeter landscaping and street lighting improvements installed in connection with development of properties within the District.

This Engineer’s Annual Levy Report (“Report”) describes the District and the proposed assessments for Fiscal Year 2022/2023. The annual budget for the maintenance and operation of the improvements is based on estimated expenses for the upcoming Fiscal Year.

These detailed plans and specifications approved by the City are made part of this Report by reference.

The word “parcel,” for the purposes of this Report, refers to an individual property assigned its own Assessment Number by the Imperial County (“County”) Assessor’s Office. The County Auditor/Controller uses Assessment Numbers and specific Fund Numbers to identify properties assessed on the tax roll for special district benefit assessments.

Following consideration of public comments and written protests at a noticed Public Hearing, the City Council may confirm the Report as submitted or amended and order the levy and collection of assessments for Fiscal Year 2022/2023 pursuant to the 1972 Act.

III. METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT
A. GENERAL
The 1972 Act permits the establishment of assessment districts by agencies for the purpose of providing certain public improvements, which include the construction, maintenance, and servicing of 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 apportioned 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.” Furthermore, Article XIIID Section 4 of the California Constitution (“Constitution”) states that:
“The proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel shall be determined in relationship to the entirety of the capital cost of the public improvement, the maintenance and operation expenses of the public improvement, or the cost of the property related service being provided...” The formula used for calculating assessments reflects the composition of the parcels, and the improvements and services provided, to fairly apportion the costs based on estimated benefit to each parcel.

B. PROPOSITION 218 BENEFIT ANALYSIS
The costs of the improvements have been identified and allocated to properties within the District based on special benefit. The improvements to be provided by this District and for which properties will be assessed have been identified as an essential component and local amenity that provides a direct reflection and extension of the properties within the District which the property owners and residents have expressed a high level of support.

This District was formed to provide and establish landscape and lighting enhancement that affects the presentation of the surrounding properties and developments and will directly benefit the parcels to be assessed within the District. The assessments and method of apportionment is based on the premise that the assessments will be used to construct and install landscape improvements within the existing Buena Vista Landscape and Lighting District as well as provide for the annual maintenance of those improvements, and the assessment revenues generated for the District will be used solely for such purposes.

7.b
Packet Pg. 137 Attachment: 2022-2023 Engineer's Report - Buena Vista LLD (5525 : Approve the Engineer's Report regarding Buena Vista L&LD and the Levy 2022/2023 Buena Vista LLD Page 6 of 19
In conjunction with the provisions of the 1972 Act, the California Constitution Article XIIID addresses several key criteria for the levy of assessments, notably:

Article XIIID Section 2d defines District as follows:
“District means an area determined by an agency to contain all parcels which will receive a special benefit from a proposed public improvement or property-related service”;
Article XIIID Section 2i defines special benefit as follows:
“Special benefit” means a particular and distinct benefit over and above general benefits conferred on real property located in the district or to the public at large.

General enhancement of property value does not constitute “special benefit.” Article XIIID Section 4a defines proportional special benefit assessments as follows:
“An agency which proposes to levy an assessment shall identify all parcels which will have a special benefit conferred upon them and upon which an assessment will be imposed. The proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel shall be determined in relationship to the entirety of the capital cost of a public improvement, the maintenance and operation expenses of a public improvement, or the cost of the property related service being provided. No assessment shall be imposed on any parcel which exceeds the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel.”
The method of apportionment (method of assessment) set forth in the Report is based on the premise that each assessed property receives special benefits from the landscape and lighting improvements in the District, and the assessment obligation for each parcel reflects that parcel’s proportional special benefits as compared to other properties that receive special benefits.

To identify and determine the proportional special benefit to each parcel within the District, it is necessary to consider the entire scope of the improvements provided as well as the properties that benefit from those improvements. The improvements and the associated costs described in this Report, have been carefully reviewed and have been identified and allocated based on a benefit rationale and calculations that proportionally allocate the net cost of only those improvements determined to be of special benefit to properties within the District. The various public improvements and the associated costs have been identified as either “general benefit” (not assessed) or “special benefit”.

C. SPECIAL BENEFIT ANALYSIS
Each of the improvements, the associated costs and assessments have been carefully reviewed, identified and allocated based on special benefit pursuant to the provisions of the Constitution and the 1972 Act. The improvements associated with this District have been identified as necessary, required and/or desired for the orderly development of the properties within the District to their full potential, consistent with the proposed development plans. As such, these improvements would be necessary and required of individual property owners for the development of such properties and their ongoing operation; maintenance and servicing of these improvements would be the financial obligation of those properties. Therefore, the improvements and the annual costs of ensuring the operation, maintenance and servicing of the improvements are of direct and special benefit to the properties.

The method of apportionment (method of assessment) is based on the premise that each assessed parcel within the District receives benefit from the improvements. The desirability and security of properties is enhanced by the presence of street lighting and well-maintained landscaping in close proximity to those properties.

The special benefits associated with the landscaping improvements specifically:
 Enhanced desirability of properties through association with the improvements;
 Improved aesthetic appeal of properties providing a positive representation of the area and properties;
 Enhanced adaptation of the urban environment within the natural environment from adequate green space and landscaping;
 Environmental enhancement through improved erosion resistance, dust and debris control, and fire prevention;
 Increased sense of pride in ownership of property within the District resulting from well-maintained improvements associated with the properties;
 Enhanced quality of life through well-maintained green belts and landscaped areas;
 Reduced criminal activity and property-related crimes (especially vandalism) against properties in the District through well-maintained surroundings and amenities including abatement of graffiti; and  Enhanced environmental quality of the parcels by moderating temperatures, providing oxygenation and attenuating noise.

The special benefits of street lighting are the convenience, safety, and security of property, improvements, and goods. Specifically:

Packet Pg. 139 Attachment: 2022-2023 Engineer's Report - Buena Vista LLD (5525 : Approve the Engineer's Report regarding Buena Vista L&LD and the Levy 2022/2023 Buena Vista LLD Page 8 of 19
 Enhanced deterrence of crime and aid to police protection;  Increased nighttime safety on roads and streets;
 Improved ability of pedestrians and motorists to see;  Improved ingress and egress to and from property;
 Reduced vandalism and other criminal act and damage to improvements or property; and
 Improved traffic circulation and reduced nighttime accidents and personal property loss.

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

Although the improvements include public easements, right-of-ways, streets and other amenities available or visible to the public at large, the construction and installation of these improvements are only necessary for the development of properties within the District and are not required nor necessarily desired by any properties or developments outside the District boundary. Therefore, any public access or use of the improvements by others is incidental and there is no measurable general benefit to properties outside the District or to the public at large.

D. ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY
The method of apportionment for the District calculates the receipt of special benefit from the respective improvements based on the actual or proposed land use of the parcels within the District. The special benefit received by each lot or parcel is equated to the overall land use of the parcel based on the parcel’s actual land use or proposed planned development and is reliant upon the special benefit received from the improvements planned within the District. The development is a Single Family Residential development, and it has been determined that the planned residential parcels benefit equally from the improvements.

Equivalent Benefit Units:

To assess benefits equitably, it is necessary to relate each property’s proportional special benefits to the special benefits of other properties within the District. The Equivalent Benefit Unit method of assessment apportionment uses the singlefamily home site as the basic unit of assessment. A single-family home site equals one Equivalent Benefit Unit (EBU). The other land uses are converted to EBUs based on an assessment formula that equates the property’s specific development status, type of development (land use), and size of the property, as compared to a single-family home site.

7.b
Packet Pg. 140 Attachment: 2022-2023 Engineer's Report - Buena Vista LLD (5525 : Approve the Engineer's Report regarding Buena Vista L&LD and the Levy 2022/2023 Buena Vista LLD Page 9 of 19
The EBU method of apportioning special benefits is typically seen as an appropriate and equitable assessment methodology for districts formed under the 1972 Act, as the benefit to each parcel from the improvements are apportioned as a function of land use type, size and development.

EBU Application by Land Use:

Single-Family Residential — This land use is defined as a fully subdivided residential home site with or without a structure. This land use is assessed 1.0 EBU per lot or parcel. This is the base value that the other land use types are compared to and weighted against (i.e. Equivalent Benefit Unit or EBU).

Multi-Family Residential — This land use is defined as a fully subdivided residential parcel that has more than one residential unit developed on the property. This land use is assessed 1.0 EBU per dwelling unit.

Planned-Residential Development — This land use is defined as any property not fully subdivided with a specific number of proposed residential lots or dwelling units to be developed on the parcel. This land use type is assessed at 1.0 EBU per planned (proposed) residential lot or dwelling unit.

Vacant Single-Family Residential — This land use is defined as property currently zoned for single-family detached residential development, but a tentative or final tract map has not been submitted and/or approved. This land use is assessed at 0.5 EBU per parcel.

Vacant Multi-Family Residential — This land use is defined as property currently zoned for multi-family residential development, but a tentative or final tract map has not been submitted and/or approved. This land use is assessed at 0.5 EBU per parcel.

Vacant Commercial — This land use is defined as property currently zoned for commercial use, but not specifically identified as commercial property. This land use is assessed at 1.0 EBU per acre. Parcels less than 1 acre are assigned a minimum of 1.0 EBU. Parcels over 50 acres are assigned a maximum of 50 EBU.

Developed Commercial — This land use is defined as property developed for either commercial or industrial use. This land use type is assessed at 4.0 EBU per gross acre. Parcels less than 0.25 acres are assigned a minimum of 1.0 EBU and there is no maximum acreage cap, as is the case with Vacant Commercial Property.

Recreational or Limited Commercial Use — This land use is defined as property used for recreational or commercial use that is not part of the improvements provided by the District. This land use classification may include, but is not limited to, golf courses, commercial parking lots or commercial properties where less than ten percent of the total acreage has been developed. This land use is assessed at

2.0 EBU per acre. Similar to Commercial properties, there is no maximum acreage cap for this land use, but parcels less than 0.5 acres are assigned a minimum 1.0 EBU.

Exempt Parcels — This land use identifies properties that are not assessed and are assigned 0.0 EBU. This land use classification may include, but is not limited, to lots or parcels identified as public streets and other roadways (typically not assigned an APN by the County); dedicated public easements, open space areas and right-of-ways including greenbelts and parkways; utility right-of-ways; common areas, sliver parcels and bifurcated lots or any other property that cannot be developed; park properties and other publicly owned properties that are part of the District improvements or that have little or no improvement value. These types of parcels are considered to receive little or no benefit from the improvements and are therefore not assessed.

The following table provides a listing of land use types, land use code designations, the Equivalent Benefit Unit factor applied to that land use type, and the multiplying factor used to calculate each parcel’s individual EBU.

Land Use Codes and Equivalent Benefit Units
Property Type
Land Use
Code
Equivalent
Benefit Unit Multiplier
Single-Family Residential SFR 1.0 Lot/Parcel
Multi-Family Residential MFR 1.0 Dwelling Unit
Planned Residential Development PRD 1.0 Planned Residential Lot or Dwelling Unit
Vacant Single-Family Residential SFV 0.5 Parcel
Vacant Multi-Family Residential MFV 0.5 Parcel
Vacant Commercial CMV 1.0 Acreage
Developed Commercial COM 4.0 Acreage
Recreational or Limited Commercial Use REC 2.0 Acreage
Exempt XMT 0.0 Parcel
The benefit formula applied to parcels within the District is based on the preceding Equivalent Benefit Unit (EBU) table. Each parcel's EBU correlates the parcel’s special benefit received as compared to the other parcels benefiting from the improvements.

The following formula is used to calculate each parcel’s EBU (proportional benefit).

Parcel Type EBU x Acres/Dwelling Units/Parcel/Lot = Parcel EBU The total number of Equivalent Benefit Units (EBUs) is the sum of individual EBUs applied to parcels that receive special benefit from the improvements. An assessment amount per EBU (“Rate”) is established by taking the net total cost of the improvements and dividing that amount by the total number of EBUs of the parcels benefiting from the improvements. This Rate is then applied back to each parcel’s individual EBU to determine the parcel’s proportionate benefit and assessment obligation for that improvement.

Total Balance to Levy / Total EBU = Rate per EBU
Rate per EBU x Parcel EBU = Parcel Levy Amount
The total number of EBUs for the developments within the District is 465.

E. ASSESSMENT RANGE FORMULA
Any new or increased assessment requires certain noticing and meeting requirements by law. Prior to the passage of Proposition 218 (California Constitution Articles XIIIC and XIIID), legislative changes in the Brown Act defined a "new or increased assessment" to exclude certain conditions. These conditions included "any assessment that does not exceed an assessment formula or range of assessments previously adopted by the agency or approved by the voters in the area where the assessment is imposed." This definition and conditions were later confirmed through Senate Bill 919 (Proposition 218 implementing legislation).

The purpose of establishing an assessment range formula is to provide for reasonable increases and inflationary adjustment to annual assessments without requiring costly noticing and mailing procedures, which could add to the District costs and assessments. As part of the District formation, balloting of property owners was conducted pursuant to the Constitution Article XIIID Section 4. The property owner ballots included an Assessment to be approved, as well as the approval of an assessment range formula.

The Maximum Assessment Rate is equal to the initial Assessment Rate approved by property owners adjusted annually by the percentage increase of the Local Consumer Price Index (CPI) for San Diego-Carlsbad, CA Area for All Urban Consumers from January to January. For Fiscal Year 2022/2023, the percentage increase of the local CPI is 8.22%.

Beginning in the second Fiscal Year of the District (Fiscal Year 2005/06) and each Fiscal Year thereafter, the Maximum Assessment Rate will be recalculated and a new Maximum Assessment Rate established. The Maximum Assessment Rate is adjusted annually and is calculated independent of the District’s annual budget and proposed annual assessment. Any proposed annual assessment rate per EBU for any Fiscal Year that is less than or equal to this Maximum Assessment Rate is not considered an increased assessment.

IV. DISTRICT BUDGET
A. DESCRIPTION OF BUDGET ITEMS
The following is a brief description of the costs associated with the improvements and services funded through the District.

DIRECT COSTS:

Maintenance Costs/Labor — Includes all regularly scheduled labor and general maintenance cost including all wages, salaries, benefits and contract services required to properly maintain and ensure the satisfactory condition of all improvements and appurtenant facilities.

Equipment and Supplies — Includes all, materials, supplies, (e.g. pipe, fertilizer, insecticides, fuel, cleaning material etc.), and equipment, (e.g. communication, small tools, rentals, machinery etc.), required to operate, maintain and ensure the satisfactory condition of all improvements and appurtenant facilities.

Utilities — The furnishing of water and electricity required for the operation and maintenance of the improvements and facilities.

Miscellaneous Expenses — This item includes repairs to the improvements and facilities that are not included in the yearly maintenance costs. This may include repair of damaged amenities due to vandalism, storms, etc. Also included may be planned upgrades or replacements of the improvements and equipment that provide a direct benefit to the District.

ADMINISTRATION COSTS:

District Administration — May include all or a portion of the administrative and professional service costs associated with the coordination of District services and operations including response to public concerns and education and procedures associated with the levy and collection of assessments. This budget item also includes the costs of contracting with professionals to provide administrative, legal or engineering services specific to the District.

County Administration Fee — This is the cost to the District for the County to collect assessments on the property tax bills.

LEVY BREAKDOWN:

Reserve Collection/ (Contribution) — The 1972 Act pursuant to Chapter 1, Article 4 Section 22569 (a), provides for a District Reserve Fund. This Reserve Fund provides for the collection of funds to operate the District from the time period of July 1 (beginning of the Fiscal Year) through December 10th or when the County provides the City with the first installment of

7.b
Packet Pg. 144 Attachment: 2022-2023 Engineer's Report - Buena Vista LLD (5525 : Approve the Engineer's Report regarding Buena Vista L&LD and the Levy 2022/2023 Buena Vista LLD Page 13 of 19
assessments collected from the property tax bills (typically January or February). Negative amounts shown for this budget item represent transfers from the Reserve Fund that reduces the Balance to Levy. Maintaining a fully funded Reserve eliminates the need for the City to transfer funds from nonDistrict accounts to pay for operational expenses during the first half of the fiscal year and also provides the District with sufficient funds to address any unforeseen or unusual expenditures that may occur during the year.

Capital Improvement Fund Collection/(Contribution) – The 1972 Act pursuant to Chapter 5, beginning with Section 22660, provides for the District to establish by resolution an assessment installment plan for proposed improvements and expenditures that are greater than can be conveniently raised from a single annual assessment. Depending on the nature of the planned improvements, the collection of funds necessary to complete the project may be collected over a period up to thirty years, but typically not more than five years. The funds collected shall be accumulated in a separate improvement fund commonly referred to as a Capital Improvement Fund (CIF) and are not considered part of the regular maintenance of the improvements or the Reserve Fund.

Because the money accumulated in the Capital Improvement Fund is for a specific planned project (budgeted separately), the amount shown for this item in the annual budget will typically be a positive number representing the amount being collected that year as part of the Balance to Levy. A negative number (Contribution) should only occur after the project has been completed and excess funds are being credited back to the District’s regular accounts. The actual fund balances and expenditures for Capital Improvements are clearly identified under the Fund Balance Information section of the Budget.

General Fund Replenishment/(Contribution) — This item represents repayments of amounts that had been temporarily advanced to the District from other revenue sources (usually the General Fund) or represents funds being loaned to the District for the current Fiscal Year that must be repaid by future assessments. Similar to the Reserve Collection/ (Contribution) line item, this item directly impacts the Reserve Fund Balances either positively or negatively.

Repayments are shown as a positive number and represent additional money being collected in the current annual assessment to repay a prior loan. These loans are typically for capital improvement expenditures or unforeseen expenditures incurred in prior years and Reserve Fund monies were not sufficient to cover the expenses. To ensure the ongoing operation and maintenance of the improvements, the City may advance funds to the District as a temporary loan to meet current expenditures, and collect repayment of the loan through the annual assessments the following year or possibly over several years. Generally, all available Reserve Funds are

Packet Pg. 145 Attachment: 2022-2023 Engineer's Report - Buena Vista LLD (5525 : Approve the Engineer's Report regarding Buena Vista L&LD and the Levy 2022/2023 Buena Vista LLD Page 14 of 19
exhausted before a temporary loan is advanced to the District and the Beginning Reserve Fund Balance will be a negative number indicating the loan amount is still outstanding. A loan for the current fiscal year (Contribution) is shown as a negative number. If the District is expected to incur significant expenditures in the current fiscal year for special services or capital improvements (upgrades or refurbishing of the improvements) and the proposed assessment revenues (annual assessments) and/or available Reserve Funds are not sufficient to cover the expenditures, the City may advance funds to the District as a temporary loan to meet the proposed expenditures. Generally, all available Reserve Funds must be exhausted before a temporary loan is advanced to the District and any funds temporarily loaned in excess of the available Reserve Funds will be reflected as a negative Ending Reserve Fund Balance. This negative Reserve Fund Balance will be repaid and replenished through future assessment revenues.

Balance to Levy — This is the total amount to be levied and collected through assessments for the current fiscal year. The Balance to Levy represents the sum of Total Direct and Administration Costs, the Reserve Collection/ (Contribution), Replenishment/ (Contribution), and Other Revenue Sources.

DISTRICT STATISTICS:

Total Number of Parcels — The total number of parcels within the District.

Total Parcels Levied — The total number of parcels within the District that are assessed. Non-assessable lots or parcels include properties that have been determined to receive no special benefits from the improvements, and may include land principally encumbered by public or other right-of-ways or easements, common areas, and/or parcels that have restricted use or development potential.

Total Equivalent Benefit Units — The typical single-family residential parcel is assigned one (1.0) Equivalent Benefit Unit. Every other land-use or property type is converted to EBU’s based on an assessment formula that equates the property’s specific development status, type of development (land-use), and size of the property, as compared to typical single-family residential parcel.

Levy per EBU — This amount represents the assessment rate being applied to each parcel. The Levy per EBU is the result of dividing the total Balance to Levy, by the sum of the Total Equivalent Benefit Units to be assessed.

RESERVE INFORMATION:

Reserve Balance — The Reserve Balance eliminates the need for the City to transfer funds from non-District accounts to pay for District charges during the first half of the fiscal year. The Reserve Balance allows the District to retain sufficient funds to operate the District from the time period of July 1 (beginning of the Fiscal Year) through January or February (when the County provides the City with the first installment of assessments collected from the property tax bills). Additional funds may be collected each year to ensure adequate operating funds are available or the funds may be used to reduce the Balance to Levy. Using reserve amounts in this way allows the Levy rate to remain fairly constant, although District costs may fluctuate. The Previous Reserve Balance reflects the projected funds available at the beginning of the current fiscal year (based on the projected revenues and expenses from the prior fiscal year). The Estimated Ending Reserve Balance reflects the projected funds that are anticipated at the end of the current fiscal year (assuming all revenues and expenditures occur as budgeted).

The budget to establish the proposed maximum assessment and the proposed assessment for fiscal year 2022/2023 is shown on the next page. As shown in the budget, the adjusted Maximum Assessment Rate per EBU is $189.46. For each fiscal year, the actual proposed assessment may be less than the adjusted maximum assessment.

I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A. INTRODUCTION
The City of El Centro (“City”) created the Legacy Ranch Landscaping and Lighting District (“District”) in order to provide for the ongoing maintenance, operation and servicing of park, certain perimeter landscaping, off-site landscaping improvements, and street lighting improvements installed in connection with development of properties within the District. This District provides the financial mechanism (annual assessments) by which the ongoing operation and maintenance of these improvements are funded. The District was formed in 2007 and annual assessments are levied pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, Part 2 of Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code (“1972 Act”) and in compliance with the substantive and procedural requirements of the “California State Constitution” Article XIIID (“Article XIIID”).

This Engineer’s Annual Levy Report (“Report”) describes the District and the proposed assessments for Fiscal Year 2022/2023. The annual budget for the maintenance and operation of the improvements is based on estimated expenses for the upcoming Fiscal Year. Parcels within the District are assessed proportionately for only those improvements and services that are a special benefit.

The District, boundaries, improvements and services, method of apportionment and assessments described in this Report are based on current development and improvement plans including direct expenditures, incidental expenses, and reserves associated with the maintenance and servicing of the improvements.

These detailed plans and specifications approved by the City are made part of this report by reference.

The word “parcel,” for the purposes of this Report, refers to an individual property assigned its own Assessment Number by the Imperial County Assessor’s Office.

The Imperial County Auditor/Controller uses Assessment Numbers and specific Fund Numbers to identify properties assessed on the tax roll for special district benefit assessments.

Following consideration of public comments and written protests at a noticed Public Hearing, the City Council may confirm the Report as submitted or amended and order the levy and collection of assessments for Fiscal Year 2022/2023 pursuant to the 1972 Act. The assessment information approved will be submitted to the County Auditor/Controller and included on the property tax roll for each benefiting parcel. The rates will be calculated during Fiscal Year 2021/2022 for Fiscal Year 2022/2023, and as approved will be submitted to the

III. METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT
A. GENERAL
The 1972 Act permits the establishment of assessment districts by agencies for the purpose of providing certain public improvements, which include the construction, maintenance, and servicing of 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 apportioned 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 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 the Constitution, Article XIIID, Section 4, a parcel’s assessment may not exceed the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel and provides that only special benefits may be assessed.

B. PROPOSITION 218 BENEFIT ANALYSIS
In conjunction with the provisions of the 1972 Act, the California Constitution Article XIIID addresses several key criteria for the levy of assessments, notably:

Article XIIID Section 2d defines District as follows:
“District means an area determined by an agency to contain all parcels which will receive a special benefit from a proposed public improvement or property-related service”;
Article XIIID Section 2i defines Special Benefit as follows:
“Special benefit” means a particular and distinct benefit over and above general benefits conferred on real property located in the district or to the public at large.

General enhancement of property value does not constitute “special benefit.” Article XIIID Section 4a defines proportional special benefit assessments as follows:

8.b
Packet Pg. 174 Attachment: 2022-2023 Engineer's Report - Legacy Ranch LLD (5526 : Approve the Engineer's Report regarding Legacy Ranch L&LD and the 2022/2023 Legacy Ranch LLD Page 7 of 20
“An agency which proposes to levy an assessment shall identify all parcels which will have a special benefit conferred upon them and upon which an assessment will be imposed. The proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel shall be determined in relationship to the entirety of the capital cost of a public improvement, the maintenance and operation expenses of a public improvement, or the cost of the property related service being provided. No assessment shall be imposed on any parcel which exceeds the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel.” This District was formed to establish and provide for the improvements that enhance the presentation of the surrounding properties and developments.

These improvements will directly benefit the parcels to be assessed within the District. The assessments and method of apportionment is based on the premise that the assessments will be used to construct and install landscape and lighting improvements within the existing Legacy Ranch District as well as provide for the annual maintenance of those improvements, and the assessment revenues generated by District will be used solely for such purposes.

The costs of the improvements have been identified and allocated to properties within the District based on special benefit. The improvements to be provided by this District and for which properties will be assessed have been identified as an essential component and local amenity that provides a direct reflection and extension of the properties within the District which the property owners and residents have expressed a high level of support.

The method of apportionment (method of assessment) set forth in the Report is based on the premise that each assessed property receives special benefits from the landscape and lighting improvements within the District, and the assessment obligation for each parcel reflects that parcel’s proportional special benefits as compared to other properties that receive special benefits.

To identify and determine the proportional special benefit to each parcel within the District, it is necessary to consider the entire scope of the improvements provided as well as the properties that benefit from those improvements. The improvements and the associated costs described in this Report, have been carefully reviewed and have been identified and allocated based on a benefit rationale and calculations that proportionally allocate the net cost of only those improvements determined to be of special benefit to properties within the District.

The various public improvements and the associated costs have been identified as either “general benefit” (not assessed) or “special benefit”.

C. SPECIAL BENEFIT ANALYSIS
Each of the improvements, the associated costs and assessments have been carefully reviewed, identified and allocated based on special benefit pursuant to the provisions of the Constitution and 1972 Act. The improvements associated

8.b
Packet Pg. 175 Attachment: 2022-2023 Engineer's Report - Legacy Ranch LLD (5526 : Approve the Engineer's Report regarding Legacy Ranch L&LD and the 2022/2023 Legacy Ranch LLD Page 8 of 20
with this District have been identified as necessary, required and/or desired for the orderly development of the properties within the District to their full potential, consistent with the proposed development plans. As such, these improvements would be necessary and required of individual property owners for the development of such properties and the ongoing operation, servicing and maintenance of these improvements would be the financial obligation of those properties. Therefore, the improvements and the annual costs of ensuring the maintenance and operation of the improvements are of direct and special benefit to the properties.

The method of apportionment (method of assessment) is based on the premise that each assessed parcel within the District receives benefit from the improvements. The desirability and security of properties is enhanced by the presence of street lighting and well-maintained landscaping in close proximity to those properties.

The special benefits associated with all landscaping improvements are specifically:
 Enhanced desirability of properties through association with the improvements;
 Improved aesthetic appeal of properties providing a positive representation of the area and properties;
 Enhanced adaptation of the urban environment within the natural environment from adequate green space and landscaping;
 Environmental enhancement through improved erosion resistance, dust and debris control, and fire prevention;
 Increased sense of pride in ownership of property within the District resulting from well-maintained improvements associated with the properties;
 Enhanced quality of life through well-maintained parks and landscaped areas;
 Reduced criminal activity and property-related crimes (especially vandalism) against properties in the District through well-maintained surroundings and amenities including abatement of graffiti; and  Enhanced environmental quality of the parcels by moderating temperatures, providing oxygenation and attenuating noise.

The special benefits of street lighting are the convenience, safety, and security of property, improvements, and goods. Specifically:
 Enhanced deterrence of crime and the aid to police protection;  Increased nighttime safety on roads and streets;

8.b
Packet Pg. 176 Attachment: 2022-2023 Engineer's Report - Legacy Ranch LLD (5526 : Approve the Engineer's Report regarding Legacy Ranch L&LD and the 2022/2023 Legacy Ranch LLD Page 9 of 20
 Improved ability of pedestrians and motorists to see;  Improved ingress and egress to property;
 Reduced vandalism and other criminal act and damage to improvements or property; and
 Improved traffic circulation and reduced nighttime accidents and personal property loss.

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

Although the improvements include public easements, right-of-ways, streets and other amenities available or visible to the public at large, the construction and installation of these improvements are only necessary for the development of properties within the District and are not required nor necessarily desired by any properties or developments outside the District boundary. Therefore, any public access or use of the improvements by others is incidental and there is no measurable general benefit to properties outside the District or to the public at large.

D. ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY
The method of apportionment for the District calculates the receipt of special benefit from the respective improvements based on the actual and use of the parcels within the District. The special benefit received by each lot or parcel is equated to the overall land use of the parcel based on the parcel’s actual land use or proposed planned development and is reliant upon the special benefit received from the improvements planned within the District. The development is a Single Family Residential development and it has been determined that all residential parcels benefit equally from the improvements.

Equivalent Benefit Units:

To assess benefits equitably, it is necessary to relate each property’s proportional special benefits to the special benefits of all other properties within the District. The Equivalent Benefit Unit method of assessment apportionment uses the single-family home site as the basic unit of assessment. A single-family home site equals one Equivalent Benefit Unit (EBU). All other land uses are converted to EBUs based on an assessment formula that equates the property’s specific development status, type of development (land use), and size of the property, as compared to a single-family home site.

The EBU method of apportioning special benefits is typically seen as an appropriate and equitable assessment methodology for districts formed under the

8.b
Packet Pg. 177 Attachment: 2022-2023 Engineer's Report - Legacy Ranch LLD (5526 : Approve the Engineer's Report regarding Legacy Ranch L&LD and the 2022/2023 Legacy Ranch LLD Page 10 of 20
1972 Act, as the benefit to each parcel from the improvements are apportioned as a function of land use type, size and development.

EBU Application by Land Use:

Single-Family Residential: This land use is defined as a fully subdivided residential home site with or without a structure. This land use is assessed 1.0 EBU per lot or parcel. This is the base value that all other land use types are compared and weighted against (i.e. Equivalent Benefit Unit or EBU).

Multi-Family Residential: This land use is defined as a fully subdivided residential parcel that has more than one residential unit developed on the property. This land use is assessed 1.0 EBU per dwelling unit.

Planned-Residential Development: This land use is defined as any property not fully subdivided with a specific number of proposed residential lots or dwelling units to be developed on the parcel. This land use type is assessed at 1.0 EBU per planned (proposed) residential lot or dwelling unit.

Vacant Single-Family Residential: This land use is defined as property currently zoned for single-family detached residential development, but a tentative or final tract map has not been submitted and/or approved. This land use is assessed at 0.5 EBU per parcel.

Vacant Multi-Family Residential: This land use is defined as property currently zoned for multi-family residential development, but a tentative or final tract map has not been submitted and/or approved. This land use is assessed at 0.5 EBU per parcel.

Vacant Commercial: This land use is defined as property currently zoned for commercial use, but not specifically identified as commercial property. This land use is assessed at 1.0 EBU per acre. Parcels less than 1 acre are assigned a minimum of 1.0 EBU. Parcels over 50 acres are assigned a maximum of 50 EBU.

Developed Commercial: This land use is defined as property developed for either commercial or industrial use. This land use type is assessed at 4.0 EBU per gross acre. Parcels less than 0.25 acres are assigned a minimum of 1.0 EBU and there is no maximum acreage cap, as is the case with Vacant Commercial Property.

Recreational or Limited Commercial Use: This land use is defined as property used for recreational or commercial use that is not part of the improvements provided by the District. This land use classification may include, but is not limited to, golf courses, commercial parking lots or commercial properties where less than ten percent of the total acreage has been developed. This land use is assessed at 2.0 EBU per acre. Similar to Commercial properties, there is no

8.b
Packet Pg. 178 Attachment: 2022-2023 Engineer's Report - Legacy Ranch LLD (5526 : Approve the Engineer's Report regarding Legacy Ranch L&LD and the 2022/2023 Legacy Ranch LLD Page 11 of 20
maximum acreage cap for this land use but parcels less than 0.5 acres are assigned a minimum 1.0 EBU.

Exempt Parcels: This land use identifies properties that are not assessed and are assigned 0.0 EBU. This land use classification may include, but is not limited, to lots or parcels identified as public streets and other roadways (typically not assigned an APN by the County); dedicated public easements, open space areas and right-of-ways including greenbelts and parkways; utility right-of-ways; common areas, sliver parcels and bifurcated lots or any other property that cannot be developed; park properties and other publicly owned properties that are part of the District improvements or that have little or no improvement value.

These types of parcels are considered to receive little or no benefit from the improvements and are therefore exempted from assessment.

The following table provides a listing of land use types, land use code designations, the Equivalent Benefit Unit factor applied to that land use type, and the multiplying factor used to calculate each parcel’s individual EBU.

The benefit formula applied to parcels within the District is based on the preceding Equivalent Benefit Unit (EBU) table. Each parcel's EBU correlates the parcel’s special benefit received as compared to all other parcels benefiting from the improvements.

The following formula is used to calculate each parcel’s EBU (proportional benefit).

Land Use Codes and Equivalent Benefit Units
Property Type Land Use
Code
Equivalent
Benefit
Unit
Multiplier
Single-Family Residential SFR 1.0 Lot/Parcel
Multi-Family Residential MFR 1.0 Dwelling Unit
Planned Residential Development PRD 1.0 Planned Residential Lot or Dwelling Unit Vacant Single-Family Residential SFV 0.5 Parcel
Vacant Multi-Family Residential MFV 0.5 Parcel
Vacant Commercial CMV 1.0 Acreage
Developed Commercial COM 4.0 Acreage
Recreational or Limited Commercial Use REC 2.0 Acreage
Exempt XMT 0.0 Parcel
The total number of Equivalent Benefit Units (EBUs) is the sum of all individual EBUs applied to parcels that receive a special benefit from the improvement. An assessment amount per EBU (Rate) for each improvement is established by taking the total cost of the improvement and dividing that amount by the total number of EBUs of all parcels benefiting from the improvement. This Rate is then applied back to each parcel’s individual EBU to determine the parcel’s proportionate benefit and assessment obligation for that improvement.

Total Balance to Levy / Total EBU = Levy per EBU
Levy per EBU x Parcel EBU = Parcel Levy Amount
The total number of EBUs for the development within the District is 143.

E. ASSESSMENT RANGE FORMULA
Any new or increased assessment requires certain noticing and meeting requirements by law. Prior to the passage of Proposition 218 (California Constitution Articles XIIIC and XIIID), legislative changes in the Brown Act defined a "new or increased assessment" to exclude certain conditions. These conditions included "any assessment that does not exceed an assessment formula or range of assessments previously adopted by the agency or approved by the voters in the area where the assessment is imposed." This definition and conditions were later confirmed through Senate Bill 919 (Proposition 218 implementing legislation).

The purpose of establishing an assessment range formula is to provide for reasonable increases and inflationary adjustment to annual assessments without requiring costly noticing and mailing procedures, which could add to the District costs and assessments. As part of the District formation, balloting of property owners is required pursuant to the Constitution Article XIIID Section 4. The property owner ballots include an Assessment to be approved, as well as the approval of an assessment range formula.

The Maximum Assessment is equal to the initial Assessment approved by property owners adjusted annually by the percentage increase in the local Consumer Price Index (CPI) in the San Diego-Carlsbad area for All Urban Consumers from January to January. For Fiscal Year 2022/2023, the percentage increase of the local CPI is 8.22%.

Beginning in the second fiscal year of the District (Fiscal Year 2008/2009) and each fiscal year thereafter, the Maximum Assessment will be recalculated and a new Maximum Assessment established.

The Maximum Assessment is adjusted annually and is calculated independent of the District’s annual budget and proposed annual assessment. Any proposed annual assessment (rate per EBU) less than or equal to this Maximum Assessment is not considered an increased assessment, even if the proposed assessment is much greater than the assessment applied in the prior fiscal year.

IV. DISTRICT BUDGET
A. DESCRIPTION OF BUDGET ITEMS
The following is a brief description of the costs associated with the improvements and services funded through the District.

DIRECT COSTS:

Maintenance Costs/Labor — Includes all regularly scheduled labor and general maintenance cost including all wages, salaries, benefits and contract services required to properly maintain and ensure the satisfactory condition of all improvements and appurtenant facilities.

Equipment and Supplies — Includes all, materials, supplies, (e.g. pipe, fertilizer, insecticides, fuel, cleaning material etc.), and equipment, (e.g. communication, small tools, rentals, machinery etc.), required to operate, maintain and ensure the satisfactory condition of all improvements and appurtenant facilities.

Utilities — The furnishing of water and electricity required for the operation and maintenance of the improvements and facilities.

Miscellaneous Expenses — This item includes repairs to the improvements and facilities that are not included in the yearly maintenance costs. This may include repair of damaged amenities due to vandalism, storms, etc. Also, included may be planned upgrades or replacements of the improvements and equipment that provide a direct benefit to the District.

ADMINISTRATION COSTS:

District Administration — May include all or a portion of the administrative and professional service costs associated with the coordination of District services and operations including response to public concerns and education and procedures associated with the levy and collection of assessments. This budget item also includes the costs of contracting with professionals to provide administrative, legal or engineering services specific to the District.

County Administration Fee — This is the cost to the District for the County to collect assessments on the property tax bills.

LEVY BREAKDOWN:

Reserve Collection/ (Contribution) — The 1972 Act pursuant to Chapter 1, Article 4 Section 22569 (a), provides for a District Reserve Fund. This Reserve Fund provides for the collection of funds to operate the District

8.b
Packet Pg. 181 Attachment: 2022-2023 Engineer's Report - Legacy Ranch LLD (5526 : Approve the Engineer's Report regarding Legacy Ranch L&LD and the 2022/2023 Legacy Ranch LLD Page 14 of 20
from the time period of July 1 (beginning of the Fiscal Year) through December 10th or when the County provides the City with the first installment of assessments collected from the property tax bills (typically January or February). Negative amounts shown for this budget item represent transfers from the Reserve Fund that reduces the Balance to Levy. Maintaining a fully funded Reserve eliminates the need for the City to transfer funds from non-District accounts to pay for operational expenses during the first half of the fiscal year and also provides the District with sufficient funds to address any unforeseen or unusual expenditures that may occur during the year.

Capital Improvement Fund Collection/(Contribution) – The 1972 Act pursuant to Chapter 5, beginning with Section 22660, provides for the District to establish by resolution an assessment installment plan for proposed improvements and expenditures that are greater than can be conveniently raised from a single annual assessment. Depending on the nature of the planned improvements, the collection of funds necessary to complete the project may be collected over a period up to thirty years, but typically not more than five years. The funds collected shall be accumulated in a separate improvement fund commonly referred to as a Capital Improvement Fund (CIF) and are not considered part of the regular maintenance of the improvements or the Reserve Fund.

Because the money accumulated in the Capital Improvement Fund is for a specific planned project (budgeted separately), the amount shown for this item in the annual budget will typically be a positive number representing the amount being collected that year as part of the Balance to Levy. A negative number (Contribution) should only occur after the project has been completed and excess funds are being credited back to the District’s regular accounts. The actual fund balances and expenditures for Capital Improvements are clearly identified under the Fund Balance Information section of the Budget.

General Fund Replenishment/(Contribution) — This item represents repayments of amounts that had been temporarily advanced to the District from other revenue sources (usually the General Fund) or represents funds being loaned to the District for the current Fiscal Year that must be repaid by future assessments. Similar to the Reserve Collection/ (Contribution) line item, this item directly impacts the Reserve Fund Balances either positively or negatively.

Repayments are shown as a positive number and represent additional money being collected in the current annual assessment to repay a prior loan. These loans are typically for capital improvement expenditures or unforeseen expenditures incurred in prior years and Reserve Fund monies were not sufficient to cover the expenses. To ensure the ongoing

8.b
Packet Pg. 182 Attachment: 2022-2023 Engineer's Report - Legacy Ranch LLD (5526 : Approve the Engineer's Report regarding Legacy Ranch L&LD and the 2022/2023 Legacy Ranch LLD Page 15 of 20
operation and maintenance of the improvements, the City may advance funds to the District as a temporary loan to meet current expenditures and collect repayment of the loan through the annual assessments the following year or possibly over several years. Generally, all available Reserve Funds are exhausted before a temporary loan is advanced to the District and the Beginning Reserve Fund Balance will be a negative number indicating the loan amount is still outstanding. A loan for the current fiscal year (Contribution) is shown as a negative number. If the District is expected to incur significant expenditures in the current fiscal year for special services or capital improvements (upgrades or refurbishing of the improvements) and the proposed assessment revenues (annual assessments) and/or available Reserve Funds are not sufficient to cover the expenditures, the City may advance funds to the District as a temporary loan to meet the proposed expenditures. Generally, all available Reserve Funds must be exhausted before a temporary loan is advanced to the District and any funds temporarily loaned in excess of the available Reserve Funds will be reflected as a negative Ending Reserve Fund Balance. This negative Reserve Fund Balance will be repaid and replenished through future assessment revenues.

Balance to Levy — This is the total amount to be levied and collected through assessments for the current fiscal year. The Balance to Levy represents the sum of Total Direct and Administration Costs, the Reserve Collection/ (Contribution), Replenishment/ (Contribution), and Other Revenue Sources.

DISTRICT STATISTICS:

Total Number of Parcels — The total number of parcels within the District.

Total Parcels Levied — The total number of parcels within the District that are assessed. Non-assessable lots or parcels include properties that have been determined to receive no special benefits from the improvements and may include land principally encumbered by public or other right-of-ways or easements, common areas, and/or parcels that have restricted use or development potential.

Total Equivalent Benefit Units — The typical single-family residential parcel is assigned one (1.0) Equivalent Benefit Unit. Every other land-use or property type is converted to EBU’s based on an assessment formula that equates the property’s specific development status, type of development (land-use), and size of the property, as compared to typical single-family residential parcel.

Levy per EBU — This amount represents the assessment rate being applied to each parcel. The Levy per EBU is the result of dividing the total

Balance to Levy, by the sum of the Total Equivalent Benefit Units to be assessed.

RESERVE INFORMATION:

Reserve Balance — The Reserve Balance eliminates the need for the City to transfer funds from non-District accounts to pay for District charges during the first half of the fiscal year. The Reserve Balance allows the District to retain sufficient funds to operate the District from the time period of July 1 (beginning of the Fiscal Year) through January or February (when the County provides the City with the first installment of assessments collected from the property tax bills). Additional funds may be collected each year to ensure adequate operating funds are available or the funds may be used to reduce the Balance to Levy. Using reserve amounts in this way allows the Levy rate to remain fairly constant, although District costs may fluctuate. The Previous Reserve Balance reflects the projected funds available at the beginning of the current fiscal year (based on the projected revenues and expenses from the prior fiscal year). The Estimated Ending Reserve Balance reflects the projected funds that are anticipated at the end of the current fiscal year (assuming all revenues and expenditures occur as budgeted).

The budget to establish the proposed maximum assessment and the proposed assessment for fiscal year 2022/2023 is shown on the next page. As shown in the budget, the adjusted Maximum Assessment Rate per EBU is $561.80. For each fiscal year, the actual proposed assessment may be less than the adjusted maximum assessment.

INTRODUCTION

OVERVIEW
Pursuant to the provisions of the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972, being Part 2 of Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code, commencing with Section 22500 (the “1972 Act”), and in compliance with the substantive and procedural requirements of Article XIIID of the California State Constitution (the “California Constitution”), the City Council of the City of El Centro, County of Imperial, State of California (the “City”), formed a special benefit assessment district designated as:

Town Center Landscaping and Lighting District
(the “District”), which includes all lots and parcels of land that will receive special benefits from the maintenance, servicing and operation of landscaping and lighting improvements associated with, constructed, and installed in connection with the development of the area known as Town Center. The District was formed in 2016 and annual assessments are levied pursuant to the 1972 Act and in compliance with the substantive and procedural requirements of the “California State Constitution” Article XIIID (“Article XIIID”).

This Engineer’s Annual Levy Report (“Report”) describes the District and the proposed assessments for Fiscal Year 2022/2023. The annual budget for the maintenance and operation of the improvements is based on estimated expenses for the upcoming Fiscal Year. Parcels within the District are assessed proportionately for only those improvements and services that are a special benefit.

The District, boundaries, improvements and services, method of apportionment and assessments described in this Report are based on current development and improvement plans including direct expenditures, incidental expenses, and reserves associated with the maintenance and servicing of the improvements. These detailed plans and specifications approved by the City are made part of this report by reference.

The word “parcel,” for the purposes of this Report, refers to an individual property assigned its own Assessment Number by the Imperial County Assessor’s Office. The Imperial County Auditor/Controller uses Assessment Numbers and specific Fund Numbers to identify properties assessed on the tax roll for special district benefit assessments.

Following consideration of public comments and written protests at a noticed Public Hearing, the City Council may confirm the Report as submitted or amended and order the levy and collection of assessments for Fiscal Year 2022/2023 pursuant to the 1972 Act. The assessment information approved will be submitted to the County Auditor/Controller and included on the property tax roll for each benefiting parcel. The rates will be calculated during Fiscal Year 2021/2022 for Fiscal Year 2022/2023, and as approved will be submitted to the Imperial County Auditor/Controller to be included on the property tax roll for each parcel for Fiscal Year 2022/2023.

BALLOT PROCEEDINGS
In 2016, pursuant to the provisions of Article XIIID, Section 4 of the California Constitution, the City conducted a property owner protest ballot proceeding (referred to as “Ballot Proceeding”) for the proposed levy of new assessments. Tabulation of the ballots indicated that majority protest did not exist for the proposed new assessments and the assessment range formula presented and described therein. One hundred percent of the votes cast were in favor of the new assessments.

Commencing in fiscal year 2017/2018 and each subsequent fiscal year, an annual engineer’s report for the District shall be prepared and presented to the City Council describing the District, any changes to the District or improvements, and the proposed budget and assessments for that fiscal year. The City Council will hold a public hearing regarding these matters prior to approving and ordering the levy of assessments for that fiscal year and such public hearing shall be noticed pursuant to the 1972 Act if new or increased assessments are not proposed. If in any fiscal year, the proposed annual assessments for the District exceed the maximum assessments described herein, such an assessment would be considered a new or increased assessment and must be confirmed through a mailed property owner protest ballot proceeding before that new or increased assessment may be imposed.

This Report consists of five (5) parts:

Part I
Plans and Specifications: A description of the District boundaries and the proposed improvements associated with the District. The District is being formed with four zones of benefit (hereafter referred to as “Zones”), which are described in more detail in this section of the Report and applied in Part II (Method of Apportionment). A diagram showing the exterior boundaries of the District and the Zones established therein is attached and incorporated herein under Part IV (District Diagram). The plans for the streetlight installations and the landscaping improvements for the District are on file with the Public Works Department.

Part II
Method of Apportionment: A discussion of the general and special benefits associated with the overall street lighting and landscaping improvements to be provided within the District (Proposition 218 Benefit Analysis). This Part also includes a determination of the proportional costs of the special benefits and a separation of costs considered to be of general benefit (and therefore not assessed). This section of the Report also outlines the method of calculating each property’s proportional special benefit and annual assessment utilizing a weighted benefit of apportionment known as an Equivalent Benefit Unit.

Part III
Estimate of Improvement Costs: An estimate of the annual funding required for the annual maintenance, servicing, and operation of the landscaping and lighting improvements within the District and specifically the costs associated with the improvements determined to be of special benefit to parcels within the District. The budget identifies an estimate of anticipated ongoing annual expenses to service, maintain, and operate the landscaping and lighting improvements within the District including, but not limited to, servicing of those improvements and related facilities, utility costs, related incidental expenses and collection of appropriate fund balances as authorized by the 1972 Act. The budget identifies and separates the general benefit costs associated with the improvements (not assessed) to establish the Net Special Benefit Expenses and the maximum assessment rate for each Zone of the District to be approved by the property owners of record in the Ballot Proceeding conducted in connection with the District formation. The maximum assessment rate for each Zone identified in the budget, establishes the initial maximum assessment rates for fiscal year 2022/2023 and shall be adjusted annually by an assessment range formula (inflationary adjust) which is also described in this section of the Report.

Part IV
District Boundary Map: A map showing the boundaries of the District and the Zones therein is provided in this Report and includes all parcels that receive special benefits from the improvements. Parcel identification, the lines and dimensions of each lot, parcel and subdivision of land within the District, are inclusive of all parcels as shown on the Imperial County Assessor's Parcel Maps as they existed at the time this Report was prepared and shall include all subsequent subdivisions, lot-line adjustments or parcel changes therein. Reference is hereby made to the Imperial County Assessor’s maps for a detailed description of the lines and dimensions of each lot and parcel of land within the District.

Part V
Assessment Roll: A listing of the proposed assessment amount for each parcel within the District. The proposed assessment amount for each parcel is based on the parcel’s calculated proportional special benefit as outlined in the method of apportionment and proposed assessment rate established in the District Budget. The assessment amounts for each property represent the maximum assessment amount for fiscal year 2022/2023 (amount balloted) and the proposed assessment amount to be levied and collected on the County Tax Rolls for fiscal year 2022/2023.

PART I – PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS

DESCRIPTION OF THE DISTRICT
The territory within this District consists of the lots and parcels of land within the City of El Centro that are part of the development and planned development of the non-residential, multi-family residential and/or mixed use properties in the area of the City known as Town Center, located east of State Highway 86 (Imperial Avenue), west of 8th Street, north of Bradshaw Avenue and generally south of Treshill Road.

The District boundary and the territory therein is comprised of thirty-four (34) parcels currently identified on the Imperial County Assessor’s Parcel Number (APN) Maps as Book 044, Page 62, Parcels 008, 009, 017, 018, 020, 022, 023, 026 through 041, 044, 046 through 048, 050, 052 through 057. These parcels total approximately one-hundred and thirty-eight (138) acres, but within this territory, parcels 044-620-044 and 044-620-052 are considered exempt from assessment as they incorporate an easement and the Town Center detention basin. Specifically:
 Parcel 044-620-044 is identified as an easement property located along the northern boundary of the District extending between Imperial Avenue and 12th Street. Although part of the Town Center development area and thus included in the District, this parcel cannot be developed independently if at all and therefore does not receive special benefit from the improvements and is exempt from assessment. Identified as Assessment Number 27 on the District Diagram contained in Part IV of this Report;
 Parcel 044-620-052 (12.39 acres) incorporates the Town Center detention basin and therefore does not receive special benefit from the improvements and is exempt from assessment. Identified as Assessment Number 26 on the District Diagram contained in Part IV of this Report;
Within the boundaries of the District, parcels have been identified and grouped into one of four designated benefit zones (“Zones”) based on the special benefits properties will receive from various District improvements to be maintained. A brief description of each Zone is provided later in this report under the “Zones of Benefit” heading. The District Diagrams contained in Part IV of this Report, provides a visual representation of the Zone boundaries showing the exterior boundaries of the District and Zones.

IMPROVEMENTS AND SERVICES
The purpose of the District is to provide funding for the continued maintenance, operation and servicing of the lighting and landscaping improvements that are in proximity to and provide a particular and distinct benefit (special benefit) to the properties and developments within the Town Center area (District). The specific plans, specifications and detailed drawings of the improvements within the District are not bound in this Report but are on file in the City’s Public Works Department and by reference are incorporated and made a part of this Report. As authorized by the 1972 Act, the improvements, services and expenses to be funded by the District assessments include, but are not limited to the furnishing of labor, materials, equipment, and utilities for the ordinary and usual maintenance, operation, and servicing of the streetlights,

These improvements are proportionately shared by all parcels within the District.  Zone-Specific Street Light Improvements, which includes street lighting on 12th Street, which benefits only those parcels that are accessed directly from 12th Street and/or are adjacent to the street. These streetlights are located on both sides of 12th Street and provide proportional special benefit to only specific properties within the District and these parcels are grouped into a Zone that reflects their difference in benefit from other District parcels.

Similarly, street lighting on 10th Street benefits only those parcels that are accessed directly from 10th Street and/or are adjacent to the street. These streetlights are currently being installed and will be located on both sides of 10th Street and provide proportional special benefit to only specific properties within the District. Parcels that receive special benefits from these lights are grouped into one of two Zones that reflects their difference in benefit from other District parcels.

The maintenance, operation, and servicing of the District lighting improvements generally include the furnishing of labor, materials, equipment and electricity for the ordinary and usual maintenance, operation, and servicing of streetlights within the public rights-of-way and easements dedicated to the City. These activities may include, but are not limited to:

Water run-off from each parcel within the District flows into this detention basin and while the drainage and flood control related maintenance and servicing of this basin is funded by other revenue sources and not part of this District’s budget or assessments the landscaping and appurtenant amenities (fencing) that surround the detention basin benefit and are proportionately shared by all parcels within the District.  Zone-Specific Landscape Improvements, include the landscape improvements within the public right-of-ways adjacent to the Town Village Apartments which include the parkway areas between the curb and sidewalk on the north side of Bradshaw Avenue, the west side of 10th Street, and the south side of Cruickshank Drive; and the parkway returns located behind the sidewalks at the entryway/driveway areas to the development. These landscape areas are more specifically described as:
 The parkway area between the curb and sidewalk on the south side of Cruickshank Drive between the western boundary of the Town Village Apartments and 10th Street.

Approximately 1,525 square feet of landscaped area with 16 trees;  The parkway area between the curb and sidewalk on the west side of 10th St between Cruickshank Drive and Bradshaw Avenue. Approximately 3,175 square feet of landscaped area with 31 trees;
 The parkway areas located behind the sidewalk on the west side of 10th St at the two entryway/driveway locations for the Town Village Apartments (4 corner returns).

Approximately 720 square feet of landscaped area; and
 The parkway area between the curb and sidewalk on the north side of Bradshaw Avenue between 10th Street and the western boundary of the Town Village Apartments.

Approximately 1,600 square feet of landscaped area with 16 trees.

The landscape improvements to be maintained within the District (both District-wide or ZoneSpecific) are considered local landscaping improvements installed in connection with the development or planned development of properties in the District and respective Zones. These landscaping improvements are an integral part of the subdivisions and development for which they were installed, creating a green amenity and aesthetically pleasing enhancement to the parcels served by the landscaping. Generally, the Zone-Specific landscaping improvements are a condition of development of the parcels in that respective Zone, and the properties within the Zone would not be developed or would not have been developed if the landscaping were not included.

The maintenance, operation, and servicing of the District landscape improvements include the furnishing of labor, materials, equipment, and utilities for the ordinary and usual maintenance, operation, and servicing of the landscaped areas within the public right-of-ways, easements, and/or public areas dedicated to the City as part of the development of properties within the District.

The various landscape improvements associated with each Zone may include, but are not limited to various types of landscape amenities such as turf, ground cover, plants, shrubs, trees, and associated appurtenant facilities including, but not limited to irrigation and drainage systems, various types of groundcover, concrete paths or sidewalks, and fencing that may be maintained in whole or in part as part of the landscape improvements depending on available funding.

ZONES OF BENEFIT (ZONES)
In accordance with Chapter 1, Article 4, Section 22574 of the 1972 Act, this District utilizes Zones to address variations in the nature, location, and extent of the lighting and landscape improvements that provide special benefits to parcels in the District. Within the boundaries of the District, parcels are assigned to one of four benefit zones based on the improvements (Districtwide shared improvements and/or Zone-Specific improvements) that provide special benefit to that property.

These Zones identify specific parcels and developments that receive special benefits from the maintenance, operation, and servicing of various District improvements. Each Zone reflects the improvements (street lighting and/or landscaping) associated with the parcels in that Zone in order to fairly and equitably apportion the net cost of providing those improvements to the properties that receive special benefits from the maintenance and operation of such improvements. By establishing and utilizing a Zone structure, similar properties with similar types of improvements will be assessed a proportional amount for the total annual expenses related to the maintenance, operation and servicing of the various improvements provided by the District and for which the properties receive special benefits. As development of properties continues to occur within the District and new improvements are installed, additional Zones may be created in the District and/or parcels may be reassigned to another Zone (balloted for a new or increased assessment) based on the benefits received from those new improvements.

The following is a brief description and summary of the Zones within the District at the time of formation (for fiscal year 2016/2017). A visual depiction of the Zone boundaries is provided on the District Diagram provided in Part IV of this Report.

Zone 01
Zone 01 is generally located in the western half of the District and at formation was comprised of twenty parcels including parcels 008, 009, 016, 017, 018, 020, 022, 023, 026 through 036, and 044 of Book 044 page 62 of the Imperial County Assessor’s Parcel Maps.

Like the other parcels in the District, the parcels in Zone 01 are accessed directly or indirectly from the streets surrounding the District including Bradshaw Avenue and 8th Street as well as Cruickshank Drive and the street lighting improvements on those streets previously identified as “District-wide (Shared) Street Light Improvements” are an integral part of the development and use of each parcel within the District. Therefore, the parcels in Zone 01 proportionately benefit from and shall share in the costs to operate and maintain those street lighting improvements.

Likewise, these parcels along with the other parcels in the District are served by the detention basin located in the northeastern section of the District, which was necessary to address the water run-off from each parcel within the District and clearly required for the development and best use of those properties. Although the drainage and flood control related maintenance and servicing of this basin is not funded or a part of this District’s assessments, the landscaping and appurtenant amenities (fencing) that surround the detention basin are. Furthermore, because the installation and construction of this basin was necessary for each property in the District, the related landscape improvements and appurtenant amenities associated with this basin clearly benefit each parcel and the cost to provide these improvements shall be proportionately shared by all parcels within the District as “District-wide (Shared) Landscaping Improvements”, including those parcels in Zone 01.

Zone 02
Zone 02 is generally located in the northeastern portion of the District (north of Cruickshank Drive) and is comprised of seven parcels including parcels 037 through 041, 052, and 053 of Book 044 page 62 of the Imperial County Assessor’s Parcel Maps.

Like the other parcels in the District, the parcels in Zone 02 are accessed directly or indirectly from the streets surrounding the District including Bradshaw Avenue and 8th Street as well as Cruickshank Drive and the street lighting improvements on those streets previously identified as “District-wide (Shared) Street Light Improvements” are an integral part of the development and use of each parcel within the District. Therefore, the parcels in Zone 02 proportionately benefit from and shall share in the costs to operate and maintain those street lighting improvements.

Likewise, these parcels along with the other parcels in the District are served by the detention basin, which was necessary to address the water run-off from each parcel within the District and clearly required for the development and best use of those properties. Although the drainage and flood control related maintenance and servicing of this basin is not funded or a part of this District’s assessments, the landscaping and appurtenant amenities (fencing) that surround the detention basin are. Furthermore, because the installation and construction of this basin was necessary for each property in the District, the related landscape improvements and appurtenant amenities associated with this basin clearly benefit each parcel and the cost to provide these improvements shall be proportionately shared by all parcels within the District as “District-wide (Shared) Landscaping Improvements”, including those parcels in Zone 02.

In addition to the District-wide (Shared) Improvements, parcels in Zone 02 also benefit from the street lighting are on 12th Street which is used to access these properties and/or are adjacent to these properties. These streetlights are located on both sides of 12th Street and these lights provide proportional special benefit to only the adjacent parcels which comprise the Zone 02.

While the streetlights on the main access streets in the District serve all parcels in the District the street lighting on 12th Street serve and are directly associated with only the parcels in this Zone and therefore provide special benefit to these parcels.

Zone 03
Zone 03 is generally located in the southeastern portion of the District (south of Cruickshank Drive and east of 10th Street) and at time of formation was comprised of parcels 044-620-049 and 044- 620-051 of the Imperial County Assessor’s Parcel Maps. They have both since been split into parcels 044-620-056 and 044-620-057. These two parcels in Zone 3 are currently undeveloped.

Like the other parcels in the District, the property in Zone 03 is accessed directly or indirectly from the streets surrounding the District including Bradshaw Avenue and 8th Street as well as Cruickshank Drive and the street lighting improvements on those streets previously identified as “District-wide (Shared) Street Light Improvements” are an integral part of the development and use of each parcel within the District. Therefore, the property within Zone 03 proportionately benefits from and shall share in the costs to operate and maintain those street lighting improvements. Likewise, this property along with the other parcels in the District is served by the detention basin, which was necessary to address the water run-off from each parcel within the District and clearly required for the development and best use of those properties. Although the drainage and flood control related maintenance and servicing of this basin is not funded or a part of this District’s assessments, the landscaping and appurtenant amenities (fencing) that surround the detention basin are. Furthermore, because the installation and construction of this basin was necessary for each property in the District, the related landscape improvements and appurtenant amenities associated with this basin clearly benefit each parcel and the cost to provide these improvements shall be proportionately shared by all parcels within the District as “District-wide (Shared) Landscaping Improvements”, including the property/parcels in Zone 03.

In addition to the District-wide (Shared) Improvements, property in Zone 03 will also benefit from the street lighting being installed on 10th Street which is used to access the property and/or is adjacent to the property. These streetlights are being installed on both sides of 10th Street and these lights provide proportional special benefit to only the adjacent properties/parcels which comprise both Zone 03 and Zone 04. While the streetlights on the main access streets in the District serve all parcels in the District the street lighting on 10th Street serve and are directly associated with only the Zone 03 and Zone 04 and therefore provide special benefit to only the property/parcels in these two Zones.

Zone 04
Zone 04 is generally located in the southcentral portion of the District (south of Cruickshank Drive and west of 10th Street) and is comprised of parcels 044-620-046 through 048 and 050 of Book 044 page 62 of the Imperial County Assessor’s Parcel Maps.

Like the other parcels in the District, the property in Zone 04 (Town Village Apartments) is accessed directly or indirectly from the streets surrounding the District including Bradshaw Avenue and 8th Street as well as Cruickshank Drive and the street lighting improvements on those streets previously identified as “District-wide (Shared) Street Light Improvements” are an integral part of the development and use of each parcel within the District. Therefore, the property within Zone 04 proportionately benefits from and shall share in the costs to operate and maintain those street lighting improvements. Likewise, this property along with the other parcels in the District is served by the detention basin, which was necessary to address the water run-off from each parcel within the District and clearly required for the development and best use of those properties.

Although the drainage and flood control related maintenance and servicing of this basin is not funded or a part of this District’s assessments, the landscaping and appurtenant amenities (fencing) that surround the detention basin are. Furthermore, because the installation and construction of this basin was necessary for each property in the District, the related landscape improvements and appurtenant amenities associated with this basin clearly benefit each parcel and the cost to provide these improvements shall be proportionately shared by all parcels within the District as “District-wide (Shared) Landscaping Improvements”, including the property/parcels in Zone 04.

In addition to the District-wide (Shared) Improvements, property in Zone 04 will also benefit from the street lighting being installed on 10th Street which is used to access the property and/or is adjacent to the property. These streetlights are being installed on both sides of 10th Street and these lights provide proportional special benefit to only the adjacent properties/parcels which comprise both Zone 03 and Zone 04. While the streetlights on the main access streets in the District serve all parcels in the District the street lighting on 10th Street serve and are directly associated with only the Zone 03 and Zone 04 and therefore provide special benefit to only the property/parcels in these two Zones.

In addition to the District-wide (Shared) Improvements and the street lighting being installed on 10th Street, Zone 04 also benefits from the landscaping improvements being installed on the perimeter of the Zone (Town Village Apartments) on the west side of 10th Street, the north side of Bradshaw Avenue and the south side of Cruickshank Drive. These landscape improvements to be maintained through the District are being installed specifically in connection with the development and specifically for the Town Village Apartment project and these improvements provide a proportional special benefit to only this adjacent development (properties/parcels) which comprise Zone 04. As previously identified, these landscape areas include:
 The parkway area between the curb and sidewalk on the south side of Cruickshank Drive between the western boundary of the Town Village Apartments and 10th Street;  The parkway area between the curb and sidewalk on the west side of 10th St between Cruickshank Drive and Bradshaw Avenue;
 The parkway areas located behind the sidewalk on the west side of 10th St at the two entryway/driveway locations for the Town Village Apartments (4 corner returns); and  The parkway area between the curb and sidewalk on the north side of Bradshaw Avenue between 10th Street and the western boundary of the Town Village Apartments.

PART II – METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT

BENEFIT ANALYSIS
Legislative Authority
Part 2 of Division 15 of the Streets and Highways Code, the 1972 Act, permits the establishment of assessment districts by agencies for the purpose of providing certain public improvements, including the acquisition, construction, installation and servicing of street lighting and landscape improvements and related facilities. The 1972 Act requires that the cost of these improvements be levied according to benefit rather than assessed value:

Section 22573 defines the net amount to be assessed as follows:
“The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by 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.”
Section 22574 provides for zones as follows:
“The diagram and assessment may classify various areas within an assessment district into different zones where, by reason of variations in the nature, location, and extent of the improvements, the various areas will receive differing degrees of benefit from the improvements.

A zone shall consist of all territory which will receive substantially the same degree of benefit from the improvements.”
The formulas used for calculating assessments and the designation of zones herein reflect the composition of parcels within the District and the improvements and activities to be provided, and have been designed to fairly apportion the entirety of the capital cost of the local public improvements and the maintenance and operation expenses of such improvements based on a determination of the proportional special benefits to each parcel, consistent with the requirements of the 1972 Act and the provisions of Article XIIID of the California Constitution (Proposition 218).

Proposition 218 Benefit Analysis
The costs of the proposed improvements for this District have been identified and allocated to properties within the District based on special benefit. The improvements provided by this District and for which properties are assessed are local public landscaping and lighting improvements and related amenities. The assessments and method of apportionment is based on the premise that these improvements would otherwise not have been required without the development of those parcels within the District.

Article XIIID Section 2d defines District as follows:
“District means an area determined by an agency to contain all parcels which will receive a special benefit from a proposed public improvement or property-related service”;

2022/2023 Town Center LLD Page 12 of 24
Article XIIID Section 2i defines Special Benefit as follows:
“Special benefit” means a particular and distinct benefit over and above general benefits conferred on real property located in the district or to the public at large. General enhancement of property value does not constitute “special benefit.”
Article XIIID Section 4a defines proportional special benefit assessments as follows:
“An agency which proposes to levy an assessment shall identify all parcels which will have a special benefit conferred upon them and upon which an assessment will be imposed. The proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel shall be determined in relationship to the entirety of the capital cost of a public improvement, the maintenance and operation expenses of a public improvement, or the cost of the property related service being provided. No assessment shall be imposed on any parcel which exceeds the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel.” Special Benefit
Street Lighting Special Benefit
The street lighting in the District (localized street lighting) is primarily useful for illuminating the sidewalks and parking lanes on the streets used specifically to access the properties and/or is adjacent to those properties that comprise the District. This lighting is distinct from lights that may be installed on major streets, but serve in large part to enhance traffic safety, such as the streetlights and traffic signals on State Highway 86 (Imperial Avenue) which is adjacent to the District. These localized streetlights tend to be more closely spaced and of a lower intensity than streetlights installed primarily for traffic safety such as those found on many major thoroughfares or intersections. These low-level, lower-intensity streetlights within the District provide three main special benefits: (i) property security benefit, (ii) pedestrian safety benefit, and (iii) parkway/roadway egress benefit. Because traffic in the District is largely limited to local traffic consisting of employees, patrons, residents and residents’ guests, it is reasonable to assume that essentially all pedestrians and parking vehicles in the lit areas will, after dark, be directly associated with the properties in the District and that the vehicular traffic in this area is primarily limited to vehicles accessing the District properties rather than pass-through traffic to other properties.

In addition, the streetlights within the District are consistent with the City’s typical intensity and spacing standards for areas zoned for non-residential, mixed use and/or high-density residential development areas and each parcel to be assessed is served directly by the system of streetlights providing appropriate lighting within the Town Village development area. Furthermore, the cost of maintaining and operating each light is substantially the same, regardless of the location of the light within the District. Consequently, we conclude that each parcel within the District receives substantially similar benefit from the street light improvements on Bradshaw Avenue, 8th Street and Cruickshank Drive regardless of their location within the District and each parcel within Zone 02, Zone 03 and Zone 04 receives substantially similar benefit from the street light improvements from the streetlights in proximity to those Zones, namely 12th Street and 10th Street and the only notable distinctions in proportional special benefit to each parcel is related to the development status of the parcel (developed versus undeveloped) and the comparable size of the property (proportional acreage).

Landscaping Special Benefit
The ongoing maintenance of local public landscaped areas within the District provides aesthetic benefits to the properties within each respective Zone and provides a more pleasant environment to walk, drive, live, and work. The primary function of these landscape improvements and related amenities is to serve as an aesthetically pleasing enhancement and green space for the benefit of the immediately surrounding properties and developments for which the improvements were constructed and installed. These improvements are an integral part of the physical environment of parcels in associated Zones, and if the improvements are not properly maintained, it is these parcels that would be aesthetically burdened. In addition, the street landscaping (applicable in Zone 04) serve as both a physical buffer as well as a sound reduction buffer between the roadways and the properties associated with those improvements. As a result, the maintenance of the District landscaped improvements (both the District-wide shared and the Zone-specific improvements) are a particular and distinct benefit to the properties and developments within the District and respective Zones.

General Benefit
Street Lighting General Benefit
Collectively, there are a total of 57 streetlights within or adjacent to the District including:
 14 streetlights on Cruickshank Drive, located on both sides of the street;  11 streetlights on Bradshaw Avenue, located on the north side of the street only;  16 streetlights on 8th Street, 9 of which are located on the west side of the street adjacent to the District and 7 on the east side of the street that are considered to be a special benefit to the developments and properties on the east side of 8th Street;  8 streetlights on 12th Street, located on both sides of the street; and,  8 streetlights on 10th Street, located on both sides of the street.

Considering the special benefit discussion above, it is reasonable to conclude that the installation and purpose of local street lighting is to serve the properties in immediate proximity to those improvements and therefore the ongoing maintenance and operation of such local streetlights is a special benefit to those properties. This is most certainly the case with the internal streetlights within this District, namely those streetlights located on Cruickshank Drive, 12th Street, and 10th Street. These streetlights, 30 of the 50 lights (60%) clearly provide no special benefit to properties outside the District and because these are not pass-through traffic streets, these lights provide no quantifiable general benefit to the public at large. Therefore, it is reasonable to conclude that these streetlights and the cost of maintain and operating these lights is entirely a special benefit to the properties in the District and the respective Zones therein.

With respect to the streetlights on 8th Street (Lights on the perimeter of the District), as indicated above, there are a total of 16 streetlights on 8th Street that are located along the boundaries of the District. Nine (9) of these streetlights are located on the District side of the street (west side) and seven (7) on the opposite side of the street (east side). Clearly the streetlights on the west side of the street have been installed in connection with or were necessary for the development of properties in this District and provide special benefit to those properties. Presumably the streetlights on the east side of the street were installed in connection with and for the special benefit of the properties on the east side of 8th Street. Similar to the District’s internal streets

discussed above, 8th Street (which terminates near the northern boundary of this District) is not considered a pass-through traffic street and these streetlights provide no quantifiable general benefit to the public at large. Furthermore, because both sides of the street have lights that are associated with the development areas on either side, it is reasonable to conclude that the nine lights on the west side of 8th Street and the cost of maintain and operating these lights is entirely a special benefit to the properties in the District.

Similar to the other District streets, Bradshaw Avenue (which terminates at 8th Street which is the western boundary of this District) is not considered a pass-through traffic street and these streetlights provide no quantifiable general benefit to the public at large. Unlike the other streetlights installed in connection with properties in this District, the eleven (11) streetlights on Bradshaw Avenue, located entirely on the District side of the street (north side only), may indirectly benefit the properties on the south side of the street, although that benefit is clearly general and not special. Most if not all of the properties on the south side of Bradshaw Avenue are not typically accessed from Bradshaw Avenue, but rather from streets south of Bradshaw Avenue including Imperial Avenue, El Dorado Avenue, and 12th Street. For the most part, these properties only abut Bradshaw Avenue along their back property line and in a few cases their side property line. Based on these considerations it is reasonable to conclude that no more than 30% of the benefit and related costs associated with the lights on Bradshaw Avenue would be attributable as a benefit to the properties south of Bradshaw Avenue (general benefit), with the remaining 70% of these streetlight improvement costs being a special benefit to properties in the District. Conservatively then, assuming 30% of these eleven (11) streetlights on Bradshaw Avenue might reasonably be considered general benefit lights (3.3 lights), these general benefit lights (assuming 4 lights) would be approximately 8% of the District’s total streetlights.

Therefore, it is reasonable to conclude from the above discussion, that conservatively no more than 10% of the District’s 50 lights and associated lighting costs is considered general benefit, and it is appropriate to assign 90 % of the total maintenance and operating costs for the streetlights as special benefit expenses.

Landscaping General Benefit
In reviewing the location and extent of the specific landscaped areas and improvements to be funded by District assessments and the proximity and relationship to properties to be assessed, it is evident these improvements are local improvements that were installed in connection with the development of properties within specific Zones (Zone 04) or are improvements that would otherwise be shared by and required for the future development of properties in the District. It is also evident that the maintenance these improvements and the level of maintenance provided only has a direct and particular impact on those properties (special benefit) and such maintenance beyond that which is required to ensure the safety and protection of the general public and property in general, has no identifiable benefit to the public at large or properties outside each respective Zone.

In the absence of a special funding District and Zones, the maintenance of the landscape improvement areas within the District would likely be limited to those services and activities necessary to ensure the safety and protection of vehicular traffic, the general public, and property in general and the City’s maintenance of these areas would likely be limited abatement and erosion control services. These services (“baseline level of service”) would typically be provided on an as needed basis (likely no more than twice annually). This baseline level of service would provide for public safety and avoid negative impacts on adjacent properties, roadways and

vehicles traveling on those roadways, but would clearly result in a far less visually pleasing environment than is created with the enhanced levels of services associated with the District and which can be provided with the support of District special benefit assessments. Based on industry standard service costs the cost to provide this baseline level of service is estimated to be on average, approximately $0.015 per square foot for streetscape areas (improvement areas associated with Zone 04), and $0.005 per square foot for non-streetscape areas (district-wide shared improvement areas associated with the detention basin). Since the baseline services, unlike the enhanced aesthetic services funded by District assessments, would provide benefits to the general public and possibly properties outside of the District, the cost of providing this baseline level of service is identified as the general benefit cost associated with the improvement areas and landscape maintenance services. Utilizing this cost per square foot and the square footages of the improvement areas in the District and respective Zones, the following table summarizes the current estimated proportional general benefit costs calculated for each District Zone:

Zone 04 6,157 7,020 13,177 $135
Total Zone (3) 22,170 7,020 29,190 $215

The square footages shown in the table above for each Zone represents that Zone’s proportional square footage of the 22,170 square feet based on each Zone’s proportional Equivalent Benefit Units. (2) The General Benefit Costs presented in the table above and in the District Budget (Part III), are rounded to the nearest dollar. As with most maintenance costs, these General Benefit Costs will likely be impacted by inflation and in subsequent fiscal years, these costs and funding contribution may be adjusted annually for inflation, consistent with the inflationary adjustments applied for special benefit maintenance costs and the annual assessments. (3) Totals may not foot due to rounding.

ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY
The method of apportionment for this District calculates the receipt of special benefit from the respective improvements based on the land use of the parcels.

Equivalent Benefit Unit Application
To proportionally allocate special benefit to each parcel, it is necessary to correlate each property’s proportional benefit to other properties that benefit from the improvements and services being funded. In order to do this, the assessment methodology assigns each parcel a number of EBUs (Equivalent Benefit Units) based on its land use. Generally, one EBU is defined as the special benefit allocable to a single-family home (basic EBU unit). Although the single-family homeland use classification is not applicable to the parcels currently within this District, this basic EBU (base EBU) is used for most assessment districts as a means of comparing and establishing the proportional special benefit assigned to other land use classifications and that comparison and proportionality is still applicable for this District.

Single-Family Residential — This land use is defined as a fully subdivided single-family residential home site with or without a structure. As previously noted, the single-family residential parcel has been selected as the basic EBU unit for calculation of assessments and a single-family residential parcel is assigned 1.0 Equivalent Benefit Unit (1.0 EBU per lot or parcel).

Multi-Family Residential — This land use classification identifies properties that are used for residential purposes and contain more than one residential unit. The proportional special benefit and EBU for these parcels is based on acreage, at 4.0 EBUs per acre, which is reflective of the average proportional number of single-family homes developed on an acre of land (typically 4 single-family dwelling units per acre).

Developed Non-Residential — This classification includes developed properties including parking lots that are identified or zoned for commercial, industrial or other non-residential use including, but not limited to manufacturing, storage or warehousing, service stations or facilities, retail stores, restaurants, banks, offices, hotels, recreational facilities (excluding parks), and institutional facilities including, hospitals, churches or facilities utilized by other non-profit organizations, whether those facilities are publicly owned (non-taxable) or privately owned. Like Multi-Family Residential properties, the proportional special benefit and EBU for these parcels is based on acreage, at 4.0 EBUs per acre, which is reflective of the typically single-family dwelling unit development density per acre (typically 4 single-family dwelling units per acre).

Vacant/Undeveloped Property — This land use is defined as a parcel that is currently consider vacant or undeveloped land that can be developed, but for which the use and/or development of the property has not been fully determined. These parcels are assigned a proportional EBU that is based on 25% of the proportional benefit established for a developed property in the District.

The proportional special benefit and EBU for these parcels is based on acreage, at 1.0 EBU per acre.

Special Case Property — In some District Zones there may be one or more properties that the standard land use classifications identified above do not accurately identify the use and special benefit received from the improvements. Properties that are typically classified as Special Case properties usually involve some type of development or land restrictions whether those restrictions are temporary or permanent and affect the properties proportional special benefit. Examples of such restrictions may include situations where only a portion (percentage) of the parcel’s total acreage is actually developed or could be developed. In such a case, the net usable acreage of the parcel rather than the gross acreage of the parcel may be applied to calculate the parcel’s proportional special benefit.

Exempt — means a lot, parcel of land, or Assessor’s Parcel that is considered to not specially benefit directly from improvements. This classification includes, but is not limited to, areas of public streets, private streets, and other roadways; and public easements or rights-of-way including landscaped parkways or easements; and utility rights-of-way or easements such as irrigation or drainage ditches, and channels or basins. These types of parcels (similar to the improvements) are typically the result of property development rather than the direct cause of development and have little or no need for the improvements. (These types of properties may or may not be assigned an Assessor’s Parcel Number by the County Assessor’s Office).

Also exempt from assessment are Assessor’s Parcels that may be identified as common areas (properties for which the surrounding parcels have a shared interest); bifurcated lots; small parcels vacated by the County or similar sliver parcels that cannot be developed independent of an adjacent parcel. These types of parcels are generally not separately assessed because they are functionally a part of another parcel that may be assessed for its own benefit and the benefit of the associated parcel.

PART III –ESTIMATED COST OF THE IMPROVEMENTS

CALCULATION OF ASSESSMENTS
An assessment amount per EBU in each Zone is calculated by:

Taking the “Total Annual Expenses” (Total budgeted costs) and subtracting the “General Benefit Expenses (City Contribution)”, to establish the “Total Special Benefit Expenses”; Amount Budgeted – General Benefit Expenses = Special Benefit Expenses To the resulting “Special Benefit Expenses”, various “Funding Adjustments/Contributions” may be applied that may include, but are not limited to:
 “Unfunded Reserve Fund Collection”, represents an adjustment (reduction) in the amount to be collected for “Operational Reserve Funding” that was budgeted as part of the Total Annual Expenses.
 “Unfunded CIP/Rehabilitation Fund Collection”, represents an adjustment (reduction) in the amount to be collected for “CIP & Rehabilitation Reserve Fund Collection” that was budgeted as part of the Total Annual Expenses.
 “Reserve Fund Transfer/Deduction”, represents an amount of available existing funds from the “Operational Reserve Fund Balances” being applied to pay a portion of the Special Benefit Expenses for the fiscal year.
 “Additional City Contribution and/or Service Reductions”, represents a further adjustment that addresses the funding gap between the amount budgeted to provide the improvements and services (“Special Benefit Expenses”); and the amount that will be collected through the assessments. This funding gap may be addressed by an additional City contribution, reductions in service and service expenses, or a combination of the two.

These adjustments to the Special Benefit Expenses result in the net special benefit amount to be assessed “Balance to Levy”;
Special Benefit Expenses +/- Funding Adjustments/Contributions =Balance to Levy The amount identified as the “Balance to Levy” is divided by the total number of EBUs of parcels that benefit to establish the “Assessment Rate” or “Assessment per EBU” for the fiscal year. This Rate is then applied back to each parcel’s individual EBU to calculate the parcel’s proportionate special benefit and assessment for the improvements.

Balance to Levy / Total EBU = Assessment per EBU (Assessment Rate) Assessment per EBU x Parcel EBU = Parcel Assessment Amount Note: As part of these proceedings to form the District and ballot property owners for new assessments, the proposed maximum assessments outlined in this Report are intended to fully support the costs and expenses identified as “Special Benefit Expenses”. Therefore, the “Funding Adjustments/Contributions” referenced above are not applicable to the calculation of the assessments described in this Report and the “Balance to Levy” represents the total “Special Benefit Expenses”.

ASSESSMENT RATES
The following shows the assessment rates applicable to each Zone for fiscal year 2022/2023 based on the budget and the method of apportionment presented previously.

Fiscal Year 2022/2023 Assessment Rates

Assessment Rate (1)
Proposed Rate FY
2022/2023
Zone 01 $50.18 $44.64 per EBU
Zone 02 $125.47 $93.64 per EBU
Zone 03 $120.45 $100.74 per EBU
Zone 04 $188.20 $188.20 per EBU
(1) The Maximum Assessment Rate for each Zone includes an inflationary adjustment as described below.

ANNUAL INFLATIONARY ADJUSTMENT (ASSESSMENT RANGE FORMULA) As part of the District formation, the assessments to be submitted to the property owners in the Ballot Proceeding shall include an annual inflationary adjustment referred to as an Assessment Range Formula, which is authorized by Section 53750(2) (A) of the Government Code, also known as the “Proposition 218 Omnibus Implementation Act”. The purpose of establishing an Assessment Range Formula is to provide for reasonable and inevitable increases in costs to provide the improvements and services over time due to inflation. The Assessment Range Formula for the Town Center Landscaping and Lighting District is defined by the following:

Commencing in the second fiscal year (Fiscal Year 2017/2018), and each fiscal year thereafter, the maximum assessment rate established herein for each Zone shall be adjusted annually by the greater of three percent (3%) or the percentage increase of the Local Consumer Price Index (CPI) from January to January. The Consumer Price Index used for this inflationary adjustment shall be for the San Diego-Carlsbad area, for All Urban Consumers during the preceding year, as developed by U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (or a reasonably equivalent index should the stated index be discontinued). For Fiscal Year 2022/2023, the percentage increase of the local CPI is

8.22%.

The adjusted maximum assessments shall be calculated each fiscal year independent of the annual budgets and proposed annual assessments. Although the adjusted maximum assessment rates will increase each year, the annual assessment rates adopted for the fiscal year may be less. If the budgets and the corresponding assessments for that fiscal year do not require an increase or the increase is less than the allowable adjusted maximum assessment rate, then the proposed assessments required to meet the expenditures may be applied. To impose new or increased assessments other than the annual inflationary adjustment provided by the preceding Assessment Range Formula, the District must comply with the provisions of the California Constitution Article XIIID Section 4c, that requires a public hearing and certain protest procedures including mailed notice of the public hearing and property owner protest balloting. Property owners, through a ballot proceeding, must approve such a new or increased assessment before that assessment may be imposed.

Veoci Inc.

1. Scope Statement
Veoci will provide a cloud-based, SaaS incident and Emergency Management solution to El Centro, CA (“the Customer” or “Customer”) that will be available via web browser and mobile app.

2. Change Management & Governance Plan
Veoci utilizes project management tools that follow standard project management and development practices, such as the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK Guide). This describes established norms, methods, processes, and practices to ensure successful implementations and completion across all phases of the project life cycle.

Veoci also uses the system’s own tools including Task Management, Plans, Forms, Workflows, Reports, Dashboards, and Calendars to manage Customer projects. These provide a venue for planning, controlling, and coordinating projects in collaboration with all stakeholders involved. All communications, action items, Tasks, Forms, Workflows, and meeting minutes related to the project are logged and shared in Veoci Rooms which are accessible and restricted to Users with permissions. The Room Dashboard in Veoci and Reports in print templates provide project status information in real-time and allow for ongoing project reporting.

During the implementation of Veoci’s solutions, additional functionality may be identified by the Customer. Any request that changes the scope of the project or the functionality beyond that identified in the SOW requires a change request and must be reviewed and approved by the project stakeholders.

Veoci uses a Change Request Workflow included in Veoci, which includes a Change Request Form and Change Request Log. Change requests are entered in Veoci where the impact of the proposed change on scope, deliverables, schedule, and cost are evaluated. The project sponsor then approves or rejects the change, a new SOW (or an SOW addendum) detailing the approved changes is generated, and the entire process is recorded in the Change Management Log.

3. Veoci Implementation Plan
Veoci’s approach for system implementation comprises four project management phases.

The Veoci tools for Project Management will be available to manage the project following PMP standards during all the project phases:

Phase 1. Requirements and Planning

10.a
Packet Pg. 228 Attachment: El Centro SOW for Core (1) (5529 : Veoci Master Services Agreement - EOC Software) Statement of Work 3
Veoci Inc.

During this phase, the Customer's Project Manager (and/or backup) assigned to the project and other stakeholders identified by the Customer and the Veoci team work together to determine the requirements for the project, defining the details about the implementation plan, identifying the detail about the material resources and staff (both from the Customer and Veoci) needed to successfully complete the project, and creation of the overall plan for the configuration.

The Customer will be responsible for communicating requirements to the Veoci team, as well as gathering and organizing information from other stakeholders. It will provide the Veoci team with an understanding of the organization and department processes, methods, and all software applications in use that may need integration with the new System and other information necessary to ensure the planning phase is successful. Veoci will compile all the requirements needed to successfully implement the solution.

This phase will also be key for identifying the details about the material resources and staff (both from the Customer and Veoci) needed to successfully complete the project.

Both parties will also work together on the Planning phase when the Customer’s team will provide the information needed to the Veoci team for the creation of the overall plan for the configuration of the defined solution.

Phase 2. Configuring, Piloting, and User Feedback
During this phase, the Veoci Solutions Engineer(s) assigned to the project will build, configure, and test the new System as per the implementation plan defined in the previous phase. The Customer will assign personnel as required to work with Veoci on final testing and specify any changes needed.

The Veoci team will also work with the Customer’s team to implement integrations with other systems if required and estimate the level of effort. If development effort is needed, any additional cost associated with integration will also be assessed.

Phase 3. User Acceptance and Go-Live
During this phase, the Customer will accept the system implemented. Customer employees should be available for questions, support to the Veoci team members and reviews, and to assist with migration and integration work, as well as for UAT (User Acceptance Testing).

During this phase, Veoci provides intensive technical support to Customer Admins and Users to complete all knowledge transfer activities complementary to the following training phase.

Phase 4. Training

10.a
Packet Pg. 229 Attachment: El Centro SOW for Core (1) (5529 : Veoci Master Services Agreement - EOC Software) Statement of Work 4
Veoci Inc.

Veoci is simple, intuitive, and easy to use, so only an introductory formal training (30- minutes) is needed for most Users. Neither the End-Users nor Administrators need a formal IT background or programming knowledge to learn Veoci.

For Administrators who will be empowered to modify and change the Customer’s solution and to add processes and methods as needed, Veoci offers an exceptionally powerful nocode application platform. Veoci incorporates know-how from usage by multitudes of Users and tens of thousands of processes over the past ten years. Over these years, the core Veoci team has trained thousands of Administrators.

The Veoci team designs training based on the needs of our customers. Training options are listed below to show possible selections but these items are not specifically included in the Statement of Work. We will work with the Customer to develop the appropriate training structure and delivery mechanism. Our team can provide a combination of the following:
● Remote orientation webinars recorded for later viewing. ● Two-day or three-day in-depth training sessions for Administrators. Our Administrator courses since initiated, have earned a feedback rating of 9.5/10 from hundreds of participants. Administrators do not need a technical background to attend the classes but need an understanding of the respective responsibilities for management of the functional processes in Veoci that will be utilized by the Customer. The subject matter will focus on the configuration of the Veoci platform tailored specifically for Customer needs.
● Our online Help Desk and Knowledge Base that are part of the Veoci platform ● Short task and role-specific videos for End-Users
● Train-the-trainer sessions
If needed, our team can develop specific training manuals for the Customer with screenshots and “How To” instructions. The specific details of the training approach are to be finalized in consultation with the Customer in the requirements and planning phase.

4. Verified Deliverables
Veoci uses the Deliverable Verification Workflow to automate the process of collecting the Customer’s acknowledgment and acceptance of each deliverable listed in the project plan.

Once a deliverable has been built and undergone User Acceptance Testing (UAT) by the Customer and no further additions or revisions are required to complete the deliverable, Veoci will request that the Customer accept and acknowledge receipt of the deliverable.

This is done through an automated Workflow process that generates an email notification

10.a
Packet Pg. 230 Attachment: El Centro SOW for Core (1) (5529 : Veoci Master Services Agreement - EOC Software) Statement of Work 5
Veoci Inc.
for the Customer Project Manager to review and approve. The Project Management Dashboard displays the status of all project deliverables. As Deliverables are accepted and become part of the Customer’s Veoci solution, Veoci considers implementation complete and is available to provide on-going support.

5. Milestones and Deliverables

5.1. Incident Management
Whenever an organization is going to manage an all-hazards incident response, planned event, special event, exercises, situational awareness, or other collaboration need, it will create an incident Room. All activity having to do with an incident or event is managed within a Room, which comes with a rich set of tools that are useful during the planning, response, recovery, and mitigation stages. There is no restriction on how many Rooms can be created or open at the same time. This means that multiple incidents, exercises, and daily operations can be run in parallel.

Veoci will create an all-hazards “Room Template” that can be launched on demand. This template incorporates the following NIMS and ICS/Compliant functionality:

5.1.1. Incident Logging
Veoci will implement its best practice Form for logging incidents. The status of each incident can be tracked and they can also be related to Resource Requests and Tasks. Reports for All Incidents, Open Incidents, Incidents by Status, Incidents by Priority, and Incidents by Type will be included and can be viewed in tabular format, calendar, or map, and can be exported to PDF or Excel. Customer can create an unlimited number of additional reports using Veoci’s point-and-click interface.

5.1.2. ICS Forms and Incident Action Plan
Veoci will provide its best practice ICS Forms. Veoci has successfully deployed these Forms to meet other customer’s reporting requirements. When populated, these Forms can be printed and exported to PDF.

ICS Forms Included: 201, 202, 203, 204, 205, 205A, 206, 208, 214.

ICS 207
The ICS 207 will not be a standalone Form. Instead, it is an output of the ICS 203 that can be printed, saved as a PDF, and included in an IAP.

Incident Action Plan (IAP)
Veoci will implement its best practice IAP solution. The IAP combines the Forms for ICS 202-208 and when populated, can be printed and exported to PDF.

10.a
Packet Pg. 231 Attachment: El Centro SOW for Core (1) (5529 : Veoci Master Services Agreement - EOC Software) Statement of Work 6
Veoci Inc.

ICS and IAP Dashboard
Veoci will implement its best practice ICS and IAP Dashboard which provides easy access to complete or view ICS Forms and the IAP.

7. Assumptions & Work Requirements
Veoci Team Engagement - The Veoci team engages with each customer implementation on the average of five hours per week until the implementation is complete. Engagement includes weekly meetings plus offline work such as building solutions, project documentation, and completing software integrations.

Customer Participation Vital for Implementation Success - Veoci implementations are highly collaborative and will include regular participation from Customer’s implementation team. Successful delivery of an on-time solution requires that Customer provides data and information and responds to requests in a timely manner, as well as attend regular project status meetings to provide input on the solution.

Implementations will be managed from within Customer’s Support and Collaboration Room where Task management, Plans, Forms, Workflows, Reports, Dashboards, and Calendars are integrated in the Veoci platform. As noted earlier, these tools allow Veoci to plan, control and coordinate projects in collaboration with all stakeholders involved. All communications, action items, Tasks, Forms, Workflows and meeting minutes related to the project are logged and shared in Veoci Rooms accessible and restricted to only Users with permissions.

The Room Dashboard and Reports provide project status information in real time and allow for an on-going project reporting.
