STATEMENT OF ISSUE
The adoption of these resolutions will grant preliminary approval of the fiscal year (FY) 2022­2023 engineer’s reports, declare intention to order the levy and collection of assessments, and set the date and provide notice for a public hearing for 16 landscaping and lighting maintenance districts (LLMDs).

DISCUSSION
The City formed these special districts under the State of California Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, California Streets and Highways Code Section 22500, et seq., to provide a funding source for the maintenance of the landscaping and lighting improvements within the various development areas.

The preliminary approval of the engineer’s reports is the first step in the process of levying the annual assessments. Final approval of the assessments requires a public hearing, which has been scheduled for the August 16, 2022, City Council meeting.

On July 5, 2022, the council adopted Resolution Nos. 2022­156 through 2022­171 granting preliminary approval of FY 2022­2023 engineer’s reports, declaring intention to order the levy and collection of assessments, and providing notice of a hearing for all 16 landscaping and lighting maintenance districts. The public hearing was set for July 19, 2022. At the July 19, 2022, public hearing, all interested persons were given an opportunity to hear and be heard regarding protests and objections to the levy Packet Page 3 of 543

Due to the threat of litigation by several district property owners, City Council rescheduled the public hearing to a later date pending a closed session meeting with the city attorney.

The adoption of these resolutions will grant preliminary approval of the fiscal year (FY) 2022­2023 engineer’s reports, declare intention to order the levy and collection of assessments, and provide notice for and set August 16, 2022, as the date for a public hearing for 16 landscaping and lighting maintenance districts (LLMDs). The Solano County Auditor granted the City a formal extension of the deadline to submit the FY 2022­2023 tax rolls from August 10, 2022, to August 17, 2022.

Annual assessment amounts for each district are subject to the provisions of Proposition 218 and must be set at or below (1) the assessment amount or range adopted at the time the district was formed, (2) the assessment amount or range adopted after the district was formed, but prior to the passage of Proposition 218 in 1996, or (3) the assessment amount or range adopted in accordance with Proposition 218 proceedings, including applicable Consumer Price Index (CPI) adjustments. The following summaries describe the proposed FY 2022­2023 annual assessments and any proposed rate adjustments for each district.

LLMD No. 1 – Gateway:The FY 2022­2023 assessments for the Gateway district are proposed to increase approximately 11% from the FY 2021­2022 rates to the maximum allowable rate for each parcel established in 1995. Assessment rates for each parcel vary depending on parcel size.

The total proposed revenue for this district is $205,971, which includes assessments of $205,965 and interest of $6. The special projects for this district include landscape repair.

While the annual authorized maximum assessments for the Gateway district have remained unchanged since 1995, the district’s operation and maintenance costs have increased due to general inflation overtime. The district would be projected to have a fund balance deficit of approximately $170,000 by the end of FY 2022­2023 if services were to be provided at the current levels. In previous fiscal years when a budget deficit existed, assessment revenues were supplemented with funds from the district’s unreserved fund balance. However, because the unreserved fund balance has been reduced over time, the district is projected to close FY 2021­2022 with an overall deficit of (­$29,710). Pursuant to the Streets and Highways Code Section 22656, the deficit will be carried forward to FY 2022­2023. To prevent such deficit in FY 2022­2023, the FY 2022­2023 engineer’s report reflects an approximate 75% reduction in the landscaping services and irrigation budget from FY 2021­2022 levels.

On April 19, 2022, staff informed council of the projected deficit and was granted authorization to propose to the district property owners a one­time General Fund loan, issued at 0% interest with a five­ year repayment term, as a short­term solution. City staff engaged the district property owners in June 2022, via mailed flyer to inform them of the proposed loan and requested that they affirm their support for, or opposition to, the loan by taking a short online survey posted at  www.civicmic.com/city­ of­ fairfield/. The website also disclosed historical and current information regarding the district’s formation, legal requirements, operations, and financial position. City staff will return to council on August 16, 2022, with the results of the property owner engagement to receive council’s direction regarding the issuance of the loan and any applicable budget adjustments and increases to landscape and irrigation services.

The City will continue to engage with the property owners regarding future services and assessment rates and conduct a Proposition 218 balloting process during FY 2022­2023.

LLMD No. 3 – Waterman Highlands:The FY 2022­2023 assessment for the Waterman Highlands district is proposed to remain at the FY 2021­2022 rate of $195 per parcel. The assessment is the maximum rate allowable by the district’s adopted assessment range established in 1996.

While the annual authorized maximum assessments for the Peppertree district have remained unchanged since 1996, the district’s operation and maintenance costs have increased due to general inflation overtime. The district would be projected to have a fund balance deficit of approximately $30,000 in FY 2022­2023 if services were to be provided at the current levels. In previous fiscal years when a budget deficit existed, assessment revenues were supplemented with funds from the district’s unreserved fund balance. However, the district is projected to close FY 2021­2022 with an available fund balance of just over $63,000, which is approximately $30,000 less than the balance required to fully supplement FY 2022­2023 revenues. To prevent such deficit in FY 2022­2023, all landscaping services must cease by September 1, 2022.

On April 19, 2022, city staff informed council of the projected deficit and was granted authorization to propose to the district property owners a one­time General Fund loan, issued at 0% interest with a five­ year repayment term, as a short­term solution. Staff engaged the district property owners in June 2022, via mailed flyer and virtual community meeting to inform them of the proposed loan and requested that they affirm their support for, or opposition to, the loan by taking a short online survey posted at www.civicmic.com/city­ of­fairfield/. The site also disclosed historical and current information regarding the district’s formation, legal requirements, operations, and financial position. City staff will return to council on August 16, 2022, with the results of the property owner engagement to receive council’s direction regarding the issuance of the loan and any applicable budget adjustments and increases to landscape and irrigation services.

The City will continue to engage with the property owners regarding future services and assessment rates and conduct a Proposition 218 balloting process during FY 2022­2023.

While the annual authorized maximum assessments for the Rolling Hills district have remained unchanged since the 1990s, the district’s operation and maintenance costs have increased due to general inflation overtime. The district was projected to have a fund balance deficit of approximately $81,000 by the end of FY 2021­2022, and an additional deficit of $364,000 by the end of FY 2022­ 2023 for a total deficit of $445,000 if services continued to be provided at the FY 2020­2021 levels. In previous fiscal years when a budget deficit existed, assessment revenues were supplemented with funds from the district’s unreserved fund balance, however, the district’s unreserved fund balance was depleted in FY 2021­2022.

As a short­term solution, the council authorized an additional $35,000 General Fund contribution and directed city staff to propose to the Rolling Hills property owners a one­time $410,000 General Fund loan, issued at 0% interest with a five­year repayment term commencing in FY 2023­2024. City staff Packet Page 6 of 543

As a short­term solution, the council authorized an additional $7,000 General Fund contribution and directed staff to propose to the Paradise Valley North property owners a one­time $175,000 General Fund loan, issued at 0% interest with a five­year repayment term commencing in FY 2023­2024. City staff conducted a community engagement process, which included a virtual town hall and an online survey. The loan and additional General Fund contribution were authorized on May 3, 2022, by Resolution No. 2022­98, and issued in FY 2021­2022.

The City will continue to engage with the property owners regarding future services and assessment rates and conduct a Proposition 218 balloting process during FY 2022­2023.

LLMD No. 12 – Downtown Business District:The total FY 2022­2023 assessments for the district are proposed to increase approximately 2% from the total amount levied in FY 2021­2022. The proposed assessments for individual parcels vary by parcel size and are the maximum rates allowable by the district’s adopted assessment range established in 1997.

The total proposed revenue for this district is $62,021, which includes assessments of $62,020, and interest of $1. There are no special projects planned for this district.

In August 2021, the City hired NBS to conduct an initial review of the City’s 16 LLMDs to determine the operational and financial viability of each district. The City planned to initiate Phase 2 of the review in mid­ to late 2022, which will include an in­depth audit of each district’s governing documents, operations, financial and budgetary projections, and administrative best practices.

Based on the results of the initial review, LLMD No. 12 was projected to have sufficient assessment revenue to sustain services and maintain an adequate fund balance reserve through at least FY 2026­ 2027 based on the automatic CPI adjustment to the annual assessments authorized by Resolution Nos. 1991­204 and 1991­205. However, in early June 2022, upon further inspection of the district’s historical governing documents, it was determined that the automatic CPI adjustment to the annual assessments authorized by Resolution Nos. 1991­204 and 1991­205 was superseded by Resolution Nos. 1997­63 and 1997­144 which set static maximum annual assessments for each parcel with no automatic CPI adjustment as a result of a balloting process.

Consequently, the district would be projected to have a fund balance deficit of approximately $40,000 in FY 2022­2023 if services were to be provided at the current levels. In previous fiscal years when a budget deficit existed, assessment revenues were supplemented with funds from the district’s unreserved fund balance. However, the district is projected to close FY 2021­2022 with an available fund balance of just over $87,000, which is approximately $40,000 less than the balance required to fully supplement FY 2022­2023 revenues. To prevent such deficit in FY 2022­2023, an approximate 45% reduction in the landscaping services budget and 20% reduction in the irrigation budget from FY 2021­2022 levels is necessary.

City staff returned to council on July 5, 2022, to inform them of the projected deficit and to request authorization to propose to the district property owners a one­time General Fund loan, issued at 0% interest with a five­year repayment term, as a short­term solution. The request was authorized and staff engaged the district property owners in July 2022, via mailed flyer and prerecorded online message to inform them of the proposed loan and request that they affirm their support for, or opposition to, the loan by taking a short online survey posted at  www.civicmic.com/city­ of­fairfield/. The site disclosed historical and current information regarding the district’s formation, legal requirements, operations, and financial position. City staff will return to council on August 16, 2022, with the results of the property owner engagement to receive council’s direction regarding the issuance of the loan and any applicable budget adjustments and increases to landscape and irrigation services.
