The policy(ies) shall not contain any cross-liability exclusions.

Pass through clause. CONTRACTOR agrees to ensure that its sub-consultants, subcontractors, and any other party involved with the project that is brought onto or involved in the project by CONTRACTOR, provide the same minimum insurance coverage and endorsements required of CONTRACTOR. CONTRACTOR agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this section. CONTRACTOR agrees that upon request, all agreements with consultants, subcontractors, and others engaged in the project will be submitted to CITY for review.

City’s right to revise requirements. The CITY reserves the right at any time during the term of the contract to change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving the CONTRACTOR a ninety (90) day advance written notice of such change.

BACKGROUND:

All current participating agencies in the county-wide, regional, ALPR system greatly increased their abilities for proactive law enforcement efforts, help with investigations, and act as a force multiplier to officers in the field.

DISCUSSION:

The El Centro Police Department (host agency) currently participates in the Imperial County Regional Automated License Plate Recognition (ALPR) program. Law enforcement officers are often searching for vehicles that have been reported stolen, are suspected of being involved in criminal or terrorist activities, are owned by persons who are wanted by authorities, have failed to pay parking violations or maintain current vehicle license registration.

I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
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 District provides the financial mechanism (annual assessments) by which the ongoing operation, maintenance and servicing of these improvements are funded. The District was formed in 2004 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 2024/2025. 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 the estimated 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 (“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 2024/2025 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.

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.

12.b
Packet Pg. 1614 Attachment: Buena Vista LL&D (6362 : Adopt Resolution for Preliminary Approval of the Engineer's Annual Levy Report regarding the Buena V) 2024/2025 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:

12.b
Packet Pg. 1616 Attachment: Buena Vista LL&D (6362 : Adopt Resolution for Preliminary Approval of the Engineer's Annual Levy Report regarding the Buena V) 2024/2025 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.

12.b
Packet Pg. 1617 Attachment: Buena Vista LL&D (6362 : Adopt Resolution for Preliminary Approval of the Engineer's Annual Levy Report regarding the Buena V) 2024/2025 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.

Packet Pg. 1618 Attachment: Buena Vista LL&D (6362 : Adopt Resolution for Preliminary Approval of the Engineer's Annual Levy Report regarding the Buena V) 2024/2025 Buena Vista LLD Page 10 of 19
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.

Packet Pg. 1619 Attachment: Buena Vista LL&D (6362 : Adopt Resolution for Preliminary Approval of the Engineer's Annual Levy Report regarding the Buena V) 2024/2025 Buena Vista LLD Page 11 of 19
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 2024/2025, the percentage increase of the local CPI is 3.80%.

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.

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

LEVY BREAKDOWN:

Reserve Collection/ (Transfer) — 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

12.b
Packet Pg. 1621 Attachment: Buena Vista LL&D (6362 : Adopt Resolution for Preliminary Approval of the Engineer's Annual Levy Report regarding the Buena V) 2024/2025 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/( Transfer) – 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 Loans Repayment/(Advances) — 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

12.b
Packet Pg. 1622 Attachment: Buena Vista LL&D (6362 : Adopt Resolution for Preliminary Approval of the Engineer's Annual Levy Report regarding the Buena V) 2024/2025 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 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.

Applied 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 2024/2025 is shown on the next page. As shown in the budget, the adjusted Maximum Assessment Rate per EBU is $209.33. 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 2024/2025. 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 2024/2025 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.
