SECTION 8: FRINGE BENEFITS

Upon authorization from the City Manager, changes to the cafeteria benefit contribution may be afforded to Middle Management members if changes to the cafeteria benefit contribution rates and terms are negotiated for other bargaining units. The distribution of this monthly rate into tiers (e.g., single, two-person, family, and waiver) shall be determined annually by the Human Resources Director and approved by the City Manager.

B. Health Insurance
The City shall contribute on behalf of each employee and each eligible retiree, the monthly PERS statutory minimum toward the payment of premiums for health insurance under the PERS Health Insurance program.

Retiring employees and their dependents shall have available the ability to continue to participate in the PERS Health Insurance program. The eligibility of participation shall be determined by the PERS program.

C. Long-Term Disability
The plan will provide up to 2/3 of base salary after the employee has been disabled for 60 calendar days or has used all accrued sick leave, whichever is longer.

D. Vacation Buy-Back
Middle Management employees may elect to convert unused vacation benefit at their hourly rate of pay into cash, provided that they retain after such conversion at least eighty (80) hours of unused vacation benefits.

By December 15 of each year, an employee may make an irrevocable election to cash out accrued vacation leave which will be earned in the following calendar year at the employee’s base rate of pay. In the following year, the employee can receive the cash for the vacation leave he/she irrevocably elected to cash out in two (2) separate increments. However, at the time of either cash out the employee must have at least eighty (80) hours of accrued vacation on the books.

In addition to the above, an employee who has an “unforeseen emergency” (defined as an unanticipated emergency that is caused by an event beyond the control of the employee and that would result in severe financial hardship to the employee if early withdrawal were not permitted) shall be entitled to make a request to the Director of Human Resources for a payoff of accrued vacation leave. The amount of vacation leave which may be paid off is limited to the amount necessary 57 Garden Grove City Council
Resolution No.

to meet the emergency.

If an employee makes an irrevocable election to cash out vacation leave in the following calendar year and uses vacation leave in that subsequent year, the vacation leave used will come from vacation leave the employee had earned prior to January 1 of the year the employee has elected to cash out vacation leave. This is to ensure that assuming an employee had a vacation leave balance prior to January 1, the vacation leave used will not result in a reduction in the amount of vacation leave the employee will be eligible to cash out.

If, during the year when an employee has made an irrevocable election to cash out vacation leave, he/she was on leave without pay and did not earn the vacation leave expected, the employee will still be able to cash out the vacation leave the employee did earn even if reduced by the leave without pay.

E. Sick Leave Sell Back/Payoff
Middle Management employees who are eligible and meet the same conditions for annual sick leave sell back as other employees shall receive $.70 on the dollar based upon the pay rate in effect as of June 30.

At retirement, Middle Management employees shall be paid an amount equal to 50% of his/her total accumulated but unused sick leave hours. Any remaining accumulated but unused sick leave hours will be used toward the extension of their service period under the PERS retirement system, subject to Government Code Section 20965.

At the request of the employee, 100% of accumulated but unused sick leave hours may be used toward the extension of his or her service period under Government Code Section 20965 and no payout will occur.

F. Uniforms
Employees may be required to wear uniforms issued by the City if so determined by their respective department director(s). The City will replace uniforms due to normal wear.

The cost of uniforms shall not constitute compensation for purposes of the regular rate calculation under the Fair Labor Standards Act. This policy shall remain in effect unless a change is dictated by applicable law.

The City shall report to CalPERS the monetary value of uniforms and uniform maintenance for those employees required to wear uniforms. The monetary value by classification is listed in Exhibit A, entitled “UNIFORM ALLOWANCE.” This applies only to “classic” members, not to new members per Title 2 California Code of 58 Garden Grove City Council
Resolution No.

Regulations section 751(a)(5) as defined by the Public Employees’ Pension Reform Act of 2013.

Uniform allowance is defined as compensation paid or the monetary value for the purchase, rental and/or maintenance of required clothing, including clothing made from specially designed protective fabrics, which is a ready substitute for personal attire the employee would otherwise have to acquire and maintain.

City of Garden Grove

INTER-DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM
To: Lisa L. Kim From: Samuel Kim
Dept: City Manager Dept: Public Works
Date: 6/9/2026
Subject: Adoption of a Resolution adopting the Measure M2 Local Traffic Signal Synchronization Plan. (Action Item)

OBJECTIVE
For City Council to adopt a Resolution adopting the Local Traffic Signal Synchronization Plan pursuant to Renewed Measure M (Measure M2) Ordinance Number Three requirements and consistent with the Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization Master Plan.

BACKGROUND
Renewed Measure M is a 30-year, multi-million dollar program extension of the original Measure M (1991-2011) with a new slate of projects and programs planned. According to new eligibility guidelines, each jurisdiction is required to satisfy all requirements outlined by Measure M2, including the adoption and maintenance of a Local Traffic Signal Synchronization Plan. These procedures are necessary to maintain eligibility with Measure M2 and competitive funding cycles.

DISCUSSION
The Local Traffic Signal Synchronization Plan (Plan) is a local program consistent with the Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization Master Plan which provides a three-year plan identifying traffic signal synchronization, street routes and traffic signals to be improved in eligible jurisdictions. The Plan will outline the costs associated with the identified improvements, funding and phasing of capital, and the operations and maintenance of the street routes and traffic signals. The full Plan will be available for public review at the City Manager’s Conference Room.

The proposed submittal is comprised of a resolution demonstrating that the Plan will be adopted by the City Council before June 30, 2026, and that it will be updated every three years thereafter. A completed Local Signal Synchronization Plan Consistency Review Checklist has also been included to establish consistency between the Local Signal Synchronization Plan and the Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization Master Plan. The adoption of a Local Signal Synchronization Plan for Fiscal Years 2026-27 to 2028-29, including all required 70 Item 226/2026

elements as identified in the “Guidelines for the Preparation of Local Signal Synchronization Plans,” have been incorporated .

FINANCIAL IMPACT
There is no impact to the General Fund. The City is expected to receive approximately $3.9 million in Measure M2 funds for Fiscal Year 2026-27. Non-compliance with eligibility requirements will disqualify the City from receiving any net revenue funding.

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council:
 Adopt the Measure M2 Local Signal Synchronization Plan Resolution.

SECTION ONE:

TRAFFIC SIGNAL SYNCHRONIZATION GOALS, POLICIES AND

OBJECTIVES
76 5
The City of Garden Grove’s Local Signal Synchronization Plan (LSSP) is an integral part in helping establish the City’s vision and objectives in optimizing the traffic signal progression throughout the City’s traffic signal network.

The City of Garden Grove is continuously changing with new developments and thriving communities. With these changes come additional day-to-day traffic and tourism along our arterials. By maintaining and updating our LSSP every 3 years, we can proactively accommodate this growth and continue to provide safe and efficient transportation facilities to our residents. The City of Garden Grove’s LSSP is consistent with OCTA’s regional plan.

The City’s Traffic Management Center (TMC) is an integral part of our signal synchronization network. The City currently uses Centracs Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS) to communicate with our signalized intersections (125 locations) through our fiber optic communications network. The TMC also allows staff to utilize fifty-six (56) CCTV cameras, through our Genetec Security Desk Video Management System (VMS) that were strategically placed throughout our busiest corridors. In addition to this, the City uses Enconolite Video Detection Systems (VDS) at eighty (80) locations, which provide detection at the intersection level and also provide supplemental video sources to monitor signal operations. These two video sources are invaluable since they allow staff to continuously monitor entire corridors at one time, while Centracs provides the ability to make signal timing adjustments in response to traffic congestion, construction activity, or incident management.

The City currently has 123 of 141 total traffic signals online through its communications network and communicating to Centracs. In order for the City to establish connectivity to the remaining 18 signals, certain equipment upgrades and infrastructure improvements are required. These upgrades and improvements are integral to keeping our network up to date, and are an important component of this LSSP.

The City of Garden Grove has been a supporter and partner in multiple multijurisdictional traffic signal synchronization projects (TSSP). These numerous projects included the arterials of Valley View St., Magnolia St., Brookhurst St., Euclid St., Harbor Blvd., Katella Ave., Chapman Ave., Garden Grove Blvd., and Westminster Ave. The City is currently active on the following OCTA projects: Valley View TSS, Euclid TSS, Baseline Regional Synchronization, and Harbor Transit Signal Priority (TSP). The City of Garden Grove will continue to support and participate in OCTA’s regional synchronization vision and efforts.

TRAFFIC SIGNAL SYNCHRONIZATION REVIEW, REVISION,

AND ASSESMENT
89 18
For FY23/24-FY25/26, the City of Garden Grove did not participate in implementation of TSS projects. As mentioned above, the City of Garden Grove is currently active on four (4) OCTA funded signal operations projects: Valley View TSS, Euclid TSS, Harbor TSP, and Baseline County-Wide TSS. These are anticipated for implementation phase during FY26/27. Therefore, before/after performance metrics for these project arterials will not be included in this report. In addition to this, the City of Garden Grove has recently initiated efforts with Caltrans, with the objective of re-synchronizing historically congested areas near the 22 Freeway and having more collaborative coordination between the two agencies.

The study areas include segments of Brookhurst, Magnolia, and Harbor. These will also be excluded from analysis until they are completed later this year. Instead, a candidate arterial for future project efforts will be presented. The performance metrics for Chapman Ave. are shown on Page 18. Metrics data shown represents conditions from the arterials last synchronization efforts in March 2018 (before conditions), along with conditions as of April 2026 (after conditions). The objective of presenting this data is to see how the arterial is performing several years after its last synchronization project. The performance metrics for after conditions were collected using Iteris Clearguide Roadways platform, using probe data analytics.

The before conditions were taken from the TSSP Final Report after studies, collected using floating car method. To match conditions, the entire arterial limits present in the previous TSSP were analyzed for after conditions, as well.

Optimizing progression along our major arterials is a priority in the City of Garden Grove. Reducing stops and travel times results in reduced emissions, while also increasing safety and overall driver satisfaction. As part of the synchronization projects, the selected consultant is required to perform before and after studies which include several measures of effectiveness. The candidate project, Chapman Ave., showed a decrease in travel times for the various periods (AM, MD, PM) and direction of travel (EB/WB), ranging from 9-28% Similarly, speeds along Chapman Ave. increased between 38-76% for the study periods and directions. Finally, total delay along Chapman Ave. was decreased between 10-58%. Although performance metrics show improvement between last synchronization efforts to present, it is important to stress that new synchronization efforts can still greatly benefit the arterial when also considering user safety through basic timing updates along with infrastructure improvements. Furthermore, probe data analytics is a fairly new technology and before/after results may require further review when comparing to the previously used floating car method used on the last TSS project. Finally, it should be noted that Clearguide data is only available from year Fall 2023 onward.

Therefore, a comparison using Clearguide data from 2018 to present day, was not available.

As part of the Project P funded projects, consultants are required to maintain the synchronization for 3 years. This has been a useful tool in keeping our timing plans current. City staff also periodically drives the corridors to determine whether any problem have arisen since timing implementation. The City monitors the traffic progression along the corridors through the Centracs ATMS and CCTV Cameras in the Traffic Management Center.
90 19
It is paramount to the City that the corridors in the Local Signal Coordination Plan be updated on a timely basis. The City understands that driving patterns, new developments, and population increases require that the synchronization on our corridors be kept up to date. The City of Garden Grove will continue to support OCTA’s goals and visions and will be an active participant in all multi-jurisdictional synchronization projects.

City of Garden Grove

INTER-DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM
To: Lisa L. Kim From: Samuel Kim
Dept: City Manager Dept: Public Works
Date: 6/9/2026
Subject: Adoption of Resolutions for: Initiating proceedings for the levying of Fiscal Year 2026-27 assessments for the City of Garden Grove Street Lighting District, Street Lighting District No. 99-1, and Park Maintenance District; the Engineer's Report; and Intention for fixing a time and date to conduct a Public Hearing. (Action Item)

OBJECTIVE
To adopt Resolutions initiating proceedings for the levying of Fiscal Year (FY) 2026-27 assessments for (1) the City of Garden Grove Street Lighting District, (2) the City of Garden Grove Street Lighting District No. 99-1, and (3) the City of Garden Grove Park Maintenance District (hereafter collectively referred to as "Districts"), to adopt the Resolution approving the Engineer’s Reports for those Districts; and to adopt the Resolutions of Intention for the levying of FY 2026-27 assessments for those Districts.

BACKGROUND
Annually, the City of Garden Grove levies assessments against properties within the City to pay for the installation, maintenance, and servicing of public street lighting and park maintenance. In order to continue the lighting of streets and the maintenance of parks at the current service levels, it is necessary to initiate the proceedings of levying annual assessments per the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972.

DISCUSSION
The first step in this process is to adopt the Resolutions initiating proceedings and order the City Engineer to prepare and file reports for the Districts. The Resolutions and Engineer's Report for each District are attached and the reports contain a general synopsis, financial summaries, a diagram showing district boundaries and the methodology used to determine the assessment levels per land use category. The following table summarizes district costs, assessment levels and general fund contributions to cover each District’s balance. The cost for each property owner was calculated based on benefits received from each district. 93 Item 227/2026

FY2026-27 District Assessments
District Name Assessment

Contribution
Total District
Cost
Street Lighting
Assessment $1,341,419 $290,082 $1,631,501
99-1 Lighting District $9,879.14 $3,789.42 $13,668.56
Park Maintenance
District $710,205 $2,244,634 $2,954,839
The rates for each District for FY 2026-27 are the same rates adopted by the City Council in FY 2025-26. The second step for City Council is to adopt the Resolution approving the attached City Engineer’s Report, and the third and final step is the adoption of a Resolution declaring the intention to levy and collect assessments for each District. Per these resolutions, the public hearing date has been set for June 9, 2026.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
The adoption of assessments will raise approximately $1,341,419 in revenue for the Street Lighting District, $9,879.14 for Street Lighting District 99-1, and $710,205 for the Park Maintenance District. The assessment rate for each District is currently at the maximum level, and is insufficient to cover the cost for services. Therefore, the City must make contributions from its General Fund to each District with a total of $2.6 million in FY 2026-27.

Fiscal Year 2026-27

1 PART I – OVERVIEW
This Report as filed complies with the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 (“Act”). Also part of this report, but not bound herein, is the assessment roll on file with the City Clerk which indicates each property’s assessment for Fiscal Year 2026-27.

Following the passage of Proposition 218 in 1996 which added Article XIIID to the State Constitution, the City has continued to levy assessments within the District at the current rate since Proposition 218 allowed certain exemptions for existing assessments as set forth in Article XIIID, Section 5(a). The City has to make a contribution to the District annually because revenues from the assessment are less than the cost for the services provided by the District. For Fiscal Year 2026-27, the City will be required to contribute $290,082 to balance the budget. Any increase in the assessment, including the addition of a CPI escalator, will require that a ballot be mailed to each property owner subject to the assessment, and that a majority of property owners (weighted by assessment amount) returning their ballot must approve of the increase in the assessment. In addition, any other changes needed to comply with the requirements of Proposition 218 would have to be made at that time.

The proposed lighting maintenance assessment revenue for Fiscal Year 2026-27, as described in this Report, is approximately $1,341,419. The typical homeowner’s assessment will be $28.71, which is the same as that assessed for lighting prior to the passage of Proposition 218 and last year. The estimated fund balance at the end of Fiscal Year 2026-27 is expected to be zero.

3 PART II – PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS
The facilities, which have been constructed within the City of Garden Grove, and those which may be subsequently constructed, will be serviced and maintained as generally described as follows:

Street Lighting - The plans for local lighting including alley lighting, and certain arterial lighting, consist of the lamp location list, the Diagram, and the County Assessor’s Maps, all of which are on file in the City Clerk’s office and are incorporated herein by reference.

The Diagram shows the existing District boundaries and includes all of the areas of the District with existing street lights. The lamp location list is a tabulated listing of every street in the District by street in alphabetical order. Included in the items listed for each lamp is the exact location by street address, number and lamp size. Lamps are not placed in specific zones, unless they clearly only benefit certain parcels (e.g., Main Street lights, which are funded through the Downtown Assessment District).

The County Assessor’s Maps show each parcel, including its parcel number and the dimension of each parcel in the District. Preceding the Assessor’s Maps is an information sheet, which gives instructions for finding an individual parcel’s street lighting assessments and for finding lamp locations. These maps are available for inspection in the Engineering Services Division of the Public Works Department.

Specifications for street lighting within the District are indicated within a previously executed contract dated July 22, 1958, by and between the City of Garden Grove and Southern California Edison Company, a copy of which is attached by reference to this report.

Traffic Signals and Freeway Lighting - Maps showing the location of traffic signals and freeway lighting within the District, and specifications showing the general nature, location and extent of proposed capital improvements, are on file in the office of the City Clerk and incorporated herein by reference.

6 PART IV - METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT
General
Part 2 of Division 15 of the Streets and Highways Code, the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, permits the establishment of assessment districts by cities for the purpose of providing certain public improvements which include the maintenance and servicing of street lights, traffic signals, landscaping and park and recreational facilities.

Section 22573, of the Act requires that maintenance assessments be levied according to benefit rather than according to assessed value. This Section states:
"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 Act permits the designation of zones of benefit within any individual assessment district if "by reason of variations in the nature, location, and extent of the improvements, the various areas will receive different degrees of benefit from the improvements." (Sec. 22574). Thus, the Act requires the levy of a true "assessment" rather than a "special tax."
Exemption from Articles XIIC and XIID
As a result of the passage of Proposition 218 by Voters on November 5, 1996, Articles XIIIC and XIIID were added to the California Constitution. The new procedural and approval process outlined in these articles apply to those districts that do not qualify for an exemption as provided therein. There are several exemptions provided, including: 1) a district that received prior voter approval, 2) a district originated with a petition signed by 100 percent of the property owners in the district, or 3) a district complying with the requirements set forth in Section 5(a) of Article XIIID that states:
“…assessments existing on the effective date of this Article shall be exempt from the procedures and approval process set forth in Section 4 [if they were] imposed exclusively to finance the capital costs or maintenance and operation expenses for sidewalks, streets, sewers, water, flood control, drainage systems or vector control.” The street lighting assessment existed in Fiscal Year 1996-97 and funded improvements that are classified as street improvements. Street improvement as defined herein is based on the definitions provided by the Office of the Controller for the State of California in the Guidelines Relating to Gas Tax Expenditures published by the Division of Local Government Fiscal Affairs. The state’s gas tax program is administered in city agencies, but audited by the Office of the State Controller. The proceeds of the gas tax are 117

City of Garden Grove
Fiscal Year 2026-27

7 statutorily limited to expenditures for streets and roads. Because the funds are restricted to street and road costs, the State Controller has developed “Street Purpose Definitions and Guidelines” based on the Manual of Uniform Highway Accounting and Financial Management Procedures developed by the American Association of State Highway Officials. Street improvement, as it relates to this District, is defined as the construction, operation, or maintenance of facilities within the right-of-way used for street or road purposes including but not limited to the following:
• Installation or expansion of the street lighting system including replacement of old equipment with superior equipment, installation of traffic signals at intersections and railroad crossings, replacement of equipment as required for relocations for street purposes, and purchase and installation of traffic signal control equipment.
• Servicing lighting systems and street or road traffic control devices including repainting and repairing traffic signals and lighting standards; and furnishing of power for street and road lighting and traffic control devices.

Therefore, the assessments levied for street improvements as defined above are exempt from the Article XIIID procedural and approval process.

Special Benefit Analysis
Local Lighting - The installation, operation, maintenance and servicing of lighting along streets and alleys in close proximity to certain lots or parcels provides a special benefit to such lots or parcels, by providing illumination resulting in: 1) improved security of such lots or parcels, 2) improved ingress and egress from such lots or parcels by illuminating access after sunset, and 3) improved nighttime visibility for the local access of emergency vehicles. In the case of commercial lots or parcels, these local lights, by improving ingress and egress, facilitate the opening and operation of businesses after sunset.

Arterial Lighting - The installation, operation, maintenance and servicing of arterial lighting (including traffic signals, intersection safety lighting, freeway underpass lighting, and lighting on arterial streets) provides a special benefit to each and every assessable lot or parcel within the District by: 1) improved nighttime visibility for the access of emergency vehicles, and 2) improved safety and traffic circulation to and from parcels citywide.

Methodology
Local Lighting Assessment
The special benefit from operation, maintenance and servicing of local street lighting within the District only accrues to those parcels within the District located in areas where such lighting is provided.

Therefore, parcels without local street lighting are not assessed for the cost of providing such lighting.

Generally, a parcel is determined to have local lighting provided if a street light is within approximately 90 feet of the parcel.

8 The benefit from local lighting can be measured by increased safety to people and property, as well as the increased availability of lighting. In order to establish the proportionate share of local lighting benefit to any parcel of land in relation to the total special benefits to be received by local lighting, it is necessary to establish a benchmark to relate that one parcel to all others. The benchmark is called the Assessment Unit (AU). The District uses the Single Family Residence (SFR) as the benchmark AU. All other land uses will be compared to the benchmark of the Single Family Residence to gain a comparative Assessment Unit based on population and parcel size as described below. For parcels with local lighting, there exists the core benefit of available lighting for every parcel in the District near a street light. This “Availability” benefit is apportioned to parcels with local lighting in the District on a per parcel basis, and has been assigned one-fourth of the SFR Assessment Unit. In addition to this benefit, parcels in the District benefit from improved safety related to people who own or use the parcels in the District (“Safety to People”), which has been assigned one-half of the SFR Assessment Unit. Parcels also benefit from improved safety related to the parcel itself (“Safety to Property”), which has been assigned one-fourth of the SFR Assessment Unit. The three benefit factors are then added together for a total of 1 AU per SFR.

Safety to People Benefit + Safety to Property Benefit + Availability Benefit = SFR Benefit 1/2 AU 1/4 AU 1/4 AU 1 AU
Safety to People
Assessment law requires that benefit be apportioned to parcels in the District based on the benefit the land receives. It is not, however, contradictory to relate the benefit property receives to the benefit people owning or using such property receive from improved safety as a result of the District’s improvements. The Safety to People benefit results in a benefit to land, especially in residential properties, because clearly what is good for people improves the property desirability and the ability to sell homes, rent apartments, or mobile home spaces.

What is good for people is also important to the Nonresidential and Nonprofit properties in the District.

Nonresidential properties receive Safety to People benefit from street lighting through the reduction in criminal acts to employees in their parking lots as well as related traffic safety of employees.

Therefore, the Safety to People benefit received by Nonresidential parcels is, at a minimum, that amount received by single family parcels for every portion of the Nonresidential property equal in size to a typical single family parcel. In addition, in order to distribute benefit between the Nonresidential parcels, the individual lot size of each Nonresidential parcel will be used to compute the parcel’s benefit points.

Nonprofit properties benefit from local street lighting through the reduction in criminal acts to members or visitors on property grounds as well as traffic safety to people traveling to and from the property.

However, on an ongoing basis, nonprofit properties generally have an inconsistent number of people using the facilities on a day-to-day basis. Unlike an office, warehouse, or retail establishment, a typical nonprofit facility will have one or two days of intense use and more days of less intensive use where a 119

9 small staff takes care of necessary duties. Therefore, the nonprofit parcels should be assessed at a lower level than other Nonresidential properties, with a minimum assessment equal to a single family residence.

The safety benefit as it relates to safety of the person is apportioned to properties in the District based on the following demographic population information for residential uses as provided by the City of Garden Grove Planning Department. The Nonresidential and Nonprofit uses are related to the residential uses utilizing the Single Family Residential average density of 7,200 square feet as shown in Table 1:

Safety to Property
Both Residential and Nonresidential properties, including Commercial, Industrial, Nonprofit and Vacant parcels, receive benefit from local lighting operation, maintenance and servicing related to the protection of buildings, personal property, business equipment, inventory, materials, etc. located on the property.

The Safety to Property benefit is apportioned to properties in the District based on relative property size as available from the City of Garden Grove Planning Department for Residential uses and Assessor’s Parcel Maps for Nonresidential land uses.

For the Residential uses, an average density has been used to determine the per unit parcel size. The Nonresidential, Nonprofit and Vacant uses are related to the Residential uses utilizing the Single Family Residential average density of 7,200 square feet as shown in Table 2:

10 In determining the benefit for local lighting, larger properties do not necessarily receive benefit in proportion to their larger size, because a large share of the property may not be protected by the light on the street. In addition, these properties would typically have to provide their own privately funded lighting system in order to afford protection to their entire lot. To account for this, Safety to Property benefit points per unit will only be assigned up to 20 dwelling units or 20 times 7,200 square feet (144,000 square feet) for Nonresidential and Vacant properties. However, a lower maximum assessment, based on 5 dwelling units or 36,000 square feet, is appropriate for the nonprofit parcels, because these properties are less susceptible to criminal activity since the services provided on the premises are not for profit.

Table 3 shows the breakdown of the Assessment Unit benefit points assigned to each land use for those properties located in areas with local street lights.

11 Table 4 provides a summary of assessment units for the different land uses for local lighting benefit.

The rate per AU for local lighting is $17.74. The total Local Lighting Assessment is calculated multiplying this rate by the total number of AU's:

Arterial Lighting
All parcels in the District receive a special benefit from the installation, operation, maintenance and servicing of traffic signals and freeway lighting as well as the operation, maintenance and servicing of safety lighting and street lighting on arterial streets. The arterial lighting, traffic signals, safety lighting, freeway lighting, and capital improvements (Arterial Lighting) are provided throughout the City and all properties in the City may easily access these improvements. In contrast to Local Lighting, Arterial Lighting benefits properties primarily because the properties, and the persons using the properties, are provided safe arterial street access. Therefore, Arterial Lighting benefit will be apportioned to Residential and Nonresidential parcels in the District on a per unit basis taking into account demographic population information.

Nonresidential and Nonprofit parcels rely in large part on the flow of through traffic to attract employees, members and customers, and therefore benefit from Arterial Lighting, at least as much as single family residential parcels. Accordingly, these parcels are assessed the minimum that would be assessed to a 7,200 square foot Residential parcel. Since larger parcels, which attract more employees, members and customers, derive a greater benefit from the traffic signals and safety lighting than smaller parcels, the assessment for a Nonresidential or Nonprofit parcel is calculated based on the square footage of the parcel.

Arterial Lighting benefit is based on the demographic population information shown in Table 1 (Population Demographics) above. All residential uses are related based on the average population for the respective Single Family Residential 22,043 22,046 0 22,046.000

12 land use. The Nonresidential and Nonprofit land uses have been assigned a minimum single family factor under the premise that regardless of the Nonresidential use, the minimum benefit to the parcel is that of a single family residence.

The single family factor of 1.0 benefit point per unit is assigned to every 7,200 square foot portion of a Nonresidential parcel with every parcel assigned a minimum of 7,200 square feet. The 7,200 square feet is based on the City of Garden Grove Planning Department information regarding typical zoning density for single family houses of six homes per acre as shown in Table 2 (Average Density Per Unit) above.

Nonprofit parcels benefit from safe arterial street access and the flow of through traffic to attract members. Because Nonprofit parcels are typically used less intensively than other Nonresidential uses, they are assessed at a lower rate than the Nonresidential uses. Nonprofit parcels are assessed at one-half the rate of the Nonresidential uses, with a minimum assessment equal to a single family residence.

Vacant properties, which have no people residing on the property, also benefit from arterial lighting because of the convenience associated with emergency vehicle access and other traffic that must use the arterial streets to service the Vacant properties in the District. Therefore, Vacant parcels are assigned a per parcel benefit point. Vacant parcels are assigned 0.25 benefit points per parcel, based on the core benefit attributable to every assessable parcel in the District from Arterial Lighting.

13 Table 6 provides a summary of assessment units for the different land uses for arterial lighting benefit.

The rate per AU for arterial lighting is $10.97 per AU. The total Arterial Lighting Assessment is calculated by multiplying this rate by the total number of AU's:

Alley Lighting
Residential properties fronting alleys with local alley lighting are assessed for local alley lighting contiguous to such parcels in addition to any other lighting benefits. These properties receive a special and direct benefit from the local alley lighting. There are currently 58 single family residential parcels receiving this benefit. The rate per AU for alley lighting is $25.59 per parcel. The total alley lighting assessment is calculated by multiplying this rate by the number of parcels:

Engineering and Incidental Expenses
All parcels within the District benefit from the ongoing operation of the District. Therefore, all parcels assessed in the District receive a share of the administrative costs for the District based on their lighting benefit.

Total Assessment
The total assessment for each parcel is the sum of its assessments for local lighting, alley lighting, arterial lighting, engineering and incidentals, and, if appropriate, its assessment for Downtown Assessment District Lighting improvements. The Downtown Assessment District is a separate district and details regarding those assessments can be found in its Engineer’s Report on file in the Office of the City Clerk.

Fiscal Year 2026-27

1 PART I – OVERVIEW
This Report is prepared pursuant to the City Council action taken at their regular meeting ordering a Report for the Street Lighting District No. 99-1 and the levy of assessments for the Fiscal Year commencing July 1, 2025 and ending June 30, 2026. This Report is prepared in compliance with the requirements of Proposition 218 as stated in Articles XIIIC and XIIID of the California Constitution (hereinafter referred to as “Articles”), and the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, being Part 2 of Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code (hereinafter referred to as “Act”).

Background
The City of Garden Grove currently levies an assessment for street lighting on parcels throughout the City through its Citywide Street Lighting District (hereinafter referred to as “Citywide SLD”). Since the formation of the Citywide SLD, two non-contiguous residential areas have been annexed and incorporated into the City pursuant to LAFCO Annexation No. 141. These two areas were previously provided local and arterial street lighting by the County of Orange. The City is now required to provide resources in order to maintain the current levels of service for both local and arterial lighting for these two areas. Zone 1 is assessed for local and arterial lighting within this District. Zone 2 is assessed for local lighting only in this District, while the arterial lighting is covered by the Citywide SLD.

The assessment methodology contained herein incorporates an analysis of general benefit and special benefit as approved by the City Council at the time the District was formed. The assessments to be levied on each property do not exceed the reasonable cost of proportional special benefit conferred on each parcel from the funded operation and maintenance of street light improvements.

In addition to LAFCO Annexation No. 141, six owners of residential property, in a contiguous area of the City currently within Citywide SLD and assessed for arterial lighting only, petitioned the City for the installation and maintenance of a single local street lamp to benefit their properties. Therefore, the annual costs of maintaining the local and arterial lighting that benefit these property owners is to be assessed annually through the District.

2 PART II – PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS
The facilities, which have been constructed within the City of Garden Grove, and those which may be subsequently constructed, will be serviced and maintained as generally described as follows:

The improvements to be operated, maintained and serviced by the District are that portion of the local and arterial street lighting system of the City of Garden Grove that confers special benefit to the District parcels. The specific location of both local and arterial street light improvements within the City can be found on the Street Light Inventory Maps maintained by the City and on file in the office of the City Engineer where they are available for inspection.

Article XIIID of the California Constitution defines “maintenance and operation expenses” as “the cost of rent, repair, replacement, rehabilitation, fuel, power, electrical current, care and supervision necessary to properly operate and maintain a permanent public improvement”. The District funding includes, but is not limited to, the removal, repair, replacement or relocation of light standards, poles, bulbs, fixtures and all appurtenances, electrical energy, supplies, and engineering and incidental costs relating to the operation and maintenance of the local and arterial lighting benefiting the District parcels.

The local street lighting improvements to be operated, maintained and serviced by the District include all Edison owned street lights within the right-of-way of the local public streets located within the boundaries of the District as displayed in Exhibit A. These lights are all within close proximity to the District parcels and provide special benefit to such parcels.

The arterial street lighting improvements to be operated, maintained and serviced by the District include a reasonable allocation of all Edison-owned street light operation, maintenance and servicing on the major arterial streets within the City that provide special benefit to Zone 1. Arterial lighting for parcels within Zone 2 is currently provided by an assessment through the Citywide SLD and are not part of the District improvements.

5 PART IV – METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT
General
Part 2 of Division 15 of the Streets and Highways Code, the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, permits the establishment of assessment Districts by cities for the purpose of providing certain public improvements which include the maintenance and servicing of street lights, traffic signals, landscaping and park and recreational facilities.

Section 22573, Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 requires that maintenance assessments be levied according to benefit rather than according to assessed value. This Section states:
"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.”
Zones of Benefit
The Act permits the designation of zones of benefit within any individual assessment District if "by reason of variations in the nature, location, and extent of the improvements, the various areas will receive different degrees of benefit from the improvements." (Sec. 22574). Thus, the 1972 Act requires the levy of a true "assessment" rather than a "special tax."
The District has two zones of benefit which were established at the time of formation to apportion the cost of the District improvements based on proportional special benefit conferred on each property in the zones. The District provides Zone 1, as described below, both local and arterial lighting benefits and provides Zone 2 local lighting benefit only. Zone 2, as described below, is currently assessed for arterial lighting through the Citywide SLD.

Zone 1
Zone 1 of the District is comprised of property within LAFCO Annexation No. 141 that incorporates into the City boundary two non-contiguous residential areas. The first annexation area includes 290 parcels in the area northeast of the corner of Dale Street and Lampson Avenue. The second annexation area includes 54 parcels on the west side of Fairview Avenue, south of Trask Avenue. These areas are displayed on separate maps as Appendix A.

6 Zone 2
Zone 2 includes 6 single-family residential parcels located on Gail Lane, north of Chapman Avenue. This area of the City was without local street lighting, and the property owners of the parcels petitioned the City for the installation, operation, maintenance and servicing of a single local street light on Gail Lane that benefits their properties.

Boundaries of the District
The boundaries of Street Lighting District No. 99-1 are three non-contiguous residential areas in the City and are shown on the maps on file in the office of the City Engineer and attached as Appendix A.

In addition, Article XIIID Section 4 of the State Constitution requires that a parcel's assessment may not exceed the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel. Section 4 provides that only special benefits are assessable and the City must separate the general benefits from the special benefits.

Methodology
General Benefit
The City recognizes that a portion of the maintenance, operation and servicing of the City’s arterial lighting improvements funded by the District provide a general benefit to the public at large. City traffic studies have shown that 33% of the City traffic flow on arterial streets is related to through traffic from surrounding regional areas. This pass-through traffic is an appropriate measure of the general benefit provided by the maintenance, operation and servicing of arterial lights. Therefore, the City is making a contribution of funds to the District equal to or in excess of the 33% of the estimated arterial lighting costs for the District. This amount is shown in the Estimated District Budget as the “General Fund Contribution”.

Special Benefit
Articles XIIIC and XIIID of the California Constitution define special benefit as “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’.” The method of assessment for each Zone analyzes the special benefit each parcel receives from the improvements funded in each Zone. The costs are spread to the individual parcels based on their assigned Assessment Units.
137
Engineer’s Report
Street Lighting District No. 99-1
City of Garden Grove
Fiscal Year 2026-27

7 Assessments for the District are being levied to provide funding for the following:

1. The operation, maintenance, and servicing of local street lights in close proximity, within approximately 90 feet, to certain lots and parcels which provide a direct special benefit to such lots or parcels.

2. The operation, maintenance, and servicing of arterial street lights which provide a special benefit to all the assessable parcels within the District whether or not such parcels are in close proximity to such lighting.

Local Lighting Apportionment
The special benefit from operation, maintenance and servicing of local street lighting within the District only accrues to those parcels within the District located in areas where such lighting is provided.

Therefore, parcels without local street lighting are not assessed for the cost of providing such lighting.

Generally, a parcel is determined to have local lighting provided if a street light is within approximately 90 feet of the parcel.

The benefit from local lighting can be measured by increased safety to people and property, as well as the increased availability of lighting. In order to establish the proportionate share of local lighting benefit to any parcel of land in relation to the total special benefits to be received by local lighting, it is necessary to establish a benchmark to relate that one parcel to all others. The benchmark is called the Assessment Unit (AU). The District uses the Single Family Residence (SFR) as the benchmark AU. All other land uses will be compared to the benchmark of the Single Family Residence to gain a comparative Assessment Unit based on population and parcel size as described below. For parcels with local lighting, there exists the core benefit of available lighting for every parcel in the District near a street light. This “Availability” benefit is apportioned to parcels with local lighting in the District on a per parcel basis, and has been assigned one-fourth of the SFR Assessment Unit. In addition to this benefit, parcels in the District benefit from improved safety related to people who own or use the parcels in the District (“Safety to People”), which has been assigned one-half of the SFR Assessment Unit. Parcels also benefit from improved safety related to the parcel itself (“Safety to Property”), which has been assigned one-fourth of the SFR Assessment Unit. The three benefit factors are then added together for a total of 1 AU per SFR.

Safety to People Benefit + Safety to Property Benefit + Availability Benefit = SFR Benefit 1/2 AU 1/4 AU 1/4 AU 1 AU
Safety to People
The Safety to People benefit results in a special benefit to residential parcels because local street lighting improves traffic safety during ingress and egress to the property and creates a deterrent to crime against people on the property. Vacant, non-developable properties within the District are not perceived to receive Safety to People benefit.
138
Engineer’s Report
Street Lighting District No. 99-1
City of Garden Grove
Fiscal Year 2026-27

8 The Safety to People benefit is apportioned to properties in the District based on the following demographic population information for residential uses as provided by the City of Garden Grove Planning Department, as shown in Table 1.

Safety to Property
The Safety to Property benefit results in a special benefit to both residential and vacant non-developable parcels because local lighting operation, maintenance and servicing provides for the protection of buildings and personal property against crimes such as theft and vandalism. The Safety to Property benefit is apportioned to properties in the District based on relative property size as available from the City of Garden Grove Planning Department for residential uses.

For all residential uses, an average density has been used to determine the per unit parcel size. Vacant uses are related to the Residential uses utilizing the Single Family Residential average density of 7,200 square feet as shown in Table 2.

In determining the benefit for local lighting, larger properties do not necessarily receive benefit in proportion to their larger size, because a large share of the property may not be protected by the light on the street. In addition, these properties would typically have to provide their own privately funded lighting system in order to afford protection to their entire lot. To account for this, Safety to Property benefit points per unit will only be assigned up to 20 dwelling units or 20 times 7,200 square feet (144,000 square feet) for Vacant properties.

Table 3 shows the breakdown of the Assessment Unit benefit points assigned to each land use for those properties located in areas with local street lights.

9 Table 4 provides a summary of assessment units for the different land uses for local lighting benefit.

The rate per AU is calculated by dividing the total budget amount by the total number of AU's:

Arterial Lighting Apportionment
All parcels in the District receive a special benefit from the installation, operation, maintenance and servicing of traffic signals and freeway lighting as well as the operation, maintenance and servicing of safety lighting and street lighting on arterial streets. The arterial lighting, traffic signals, safety lighting, freeway lighting, and capital improvements (Arterial Lighting) are provided throughout the City and all properties in the City may easily access these improvements. In contrast to Local Lighting, Arterial Lighting benefits properties primarily because the properties, and the persons using the properties, are provided safe arterial street access. Therefore, Arterial Lighting benefit will be apportioned to parcels in the District on a per unit basis taking into account demographic population information.

Vacant properties, which have no people residing on the property, also benefit from arterial lighting because of the convenience associated with emergency vehicle access and other traffic that must use the arterial streets to service the vacant properties in the District.

10 per parcel benefit point. Vacant parcels are assigned 0.25 benefit points per parcel, based on the core benefit attributable to every assessable parcel in the District from Arterial Lighting.

Table 5 shows the breakdown of the Assessment Units assigned to each land use for all assessable property in the District.

Table 6 provides a summary of assessment units for the different land uses for arterial lighting benefit.

The rate per AU is calculated by dividing the total budget amount by the total number of AU's:

District Engineering Costs
District Engineering Costs include legal, assessment engineering, and other engineering related costs necessary to achieve the District’s compliance with Article XIIID of the California Constitution. All parcels in the District benefit from the District Engineering Costs. Each parcel in the zone is allocated a proportionate share of the District Engineering Cost based on its assigned benefit points.

Total Assessment
The total assessment for each parcel is the sum of its assessment for local and arterial lighting. Table 7 summarizes the Fiscal Year 2026-27 assessment rates for the various land uses in Zones 1 and 2.

1 PART I – OVERVIEW
This Report as filed complies with Articles XIIIC and XIIID of the California Constitution and the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972. Also, part of this report, but not bound herein, is the assessment roll on file with the City Clerk which indicates each property’s City of Garden Grove Park Maintenance District assessment for Fiscal Year 2026-27.

In order to comply with the requirements of Article XIIIC and XIIID of the California Constitution in Fiscal Year 1997-98, the City Council ordered an Engineer’s Report that complied with the new benefit analysis requirements pursuant to Proposition 218 and submitted the District’s assessments to property owners via mailed ballot which passed by a majority vote but did not include an annual escalator. The new District was formed to fund park maintenance, as more thoroughly described in this Report.

Starting Fiscal Year 2020-21, the City added four parks to the list of parks being maintained. They are:
• Faylane Park
• Gutosky Park
• Jardin De Los Ninos Park
• Spirit of 76 Mini Park
The Park Maintenance District assessment for the Fiscal Year 2026-27 is proposed to total $710,205.

Under the proposed Fiscal Year 2026-27 Park Maintenance District, the typical homeowner will pay $13.75, which represents their proportional special benefit for the cost of maintaining community parks.

For the Fiscal Year 2026-27, the assessments will be levied at the same rate and method as levied last year. The estimated fund balance at the end of Fiscal Year 2026-27 is expected to be zero. 152

3 PART II – PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS
The facilities, which have been constructed within the City of Garden Grove, and those which may be subsequently constructed, will be serviced and maintained as generally described as follows:

The City currently funds the operation and maintenance of park and recreational improvements, including park and grounds maintenance, for 19 community parks. The City’s park system provides for a uniform distribution of green area and recreation facilities throughout the District’s boundary. Each property in the District is within close proximity of a park facility and specially benefits from the availability of these improvements.

The existing park and recreational facilities to be maintained and serviced are located in the following parks:

The District will fund costs in connection with the maintenance and servicing of the park and recreation facilities including, but not limited to, personnel, electrical energy, water, materials, contracting services, and other expenses necessary for the satisfactory operation of these facilities. The facilities are described as follows:

6 PART IV – METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT
General
Part 2 of Division 15 of the Streets and Highways Code, the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, permits the establishment of assessment districts by cities for the purpose of providing certain public improvements which include the maintenance and servicing of street lights, traffic signals, landscaping and park and recreational facilities.

Section 22573, Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 requires that maintenance assessments be levied according to benefit rather than according to assessed value. This Section states:
"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 Act permits the designation of zones of benefit within any individual assessment district if "by reason of variations in the nature, location, and extent of the improvements, the various areas will receive different degrees of benefit from the improvements." (Sec. 22574). Thus, the 1972 Act requires the levy of a true "assessment" rather than a "special tax."
In addition, Article XIIID Section 4 of the State Constitution requires that a parcel's assessment may not exceed the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel. Section 4 provides that only special benefits are assessable, and the City must separate the general benefits from the special benefits.

Reason for the Assessment
The assessment is proposed to be levied to defray the costs of the servicing and maintenance of parks and recreational improvements and appurtenant facilities, including but not limited to, personnel, electrical energy, utilities such as water, materials, contracting services, and other items necessary for the satisfactory operation of these services.

Special Park Benefit Analysis
The maintenance and servicing of parks and recreational improvements provide a particular and distinct special benefit to parcels within the District. The desirability of parcels within the District is specifically enhanced by the presence of well-maintained parks and recreational facilities which are available for the use and enjoyment of residents, customers, clients, employees and visitors of the assessed parcels.

Having properly maintained parks readily accessible to properties within the District means that the 157
Engineer’s Report
Park Maintenance District
City of Garden Grove
Fiscal Year 2026-27

7 owners and visitors of the assessed parcels may enjoy the benefits of such improvements available for use while the owner avoids the expense of privately installing and maintaining similar improvements.

Each parcel within the District is located within reasonable proximity to a park and therefore benefits from the improvements provided in that park.

In addition to providing opportunities for recreational use, the property maintenance and servicing of park and recreational facilities improves the aesthetics and desirability of nearby parcels through the proper maintenance and servicing of landscaping and open space areas. Well maintained parks contribute to the visual appeal of surrounding properties and enhance their marketability. The presence of maintained open space also provides separation from adjacent development, contributing to the enjoyment and usability of the parcels. The maintenance of these facilities further enhances the security of properties within the District by discouraging vandalism and other property-related crimes through the removal of graffiti and the upkeep of park improvements.

In areas where park facilities also serve secondary functions such as drainage, the proper maintenance of these improvements supports their continued operation and helps protect adjacent parcels from potential damage, while also maintaining the visual quality of the surrounding environment. All of the above contribute to the desirability and benefit of the properties within the District.

General Park Benefit Analysis
Along with the special benefits received by the parcels in the District, there are general benefits conferred by the maintenance, operation and servicing of park and recreational facilities that benefit the public at large.

The general benefit from the park and recreational improvements can be measured by examining the type of facilities used at each park that provide benefit to the public at large. The neighborhood parks provide facilities that, by definition, almost exclusively benefit the surrounding tract neighborhood. In the City’s General Plan, a neighborhood park is meant to be located within walking or biking distance of each property in the neighborhood. The cost of maintaining these parks is not included in the Assessment District.

Community parks provide amenities that are farther reaching, servicing a population between 10,000 and 50,000 within a radius of one to two miles. Each parcel within the District is within two miles of a community park, therefore, each parcel receives a special benefit from community parks. Several of the community parks include pools, sports fields, tennis courts and other community amenities. Community parks also have neighborhood park attributes such as passive and active recreation opportunities focused on neighborhood recreational activities.

Each community park has been reviewed to determine the benefit associated with community and neighborhood amenities as defined in the City’s General Plan. The cost of maintenance, servicing and operation associated with the community amenities of the community parks is 65% of the total 158
Engineer’s Report
Park Maintenance District
City of Garden Grove
Fiscal Year 2026-27

8 maintenance, servicing and operation costs. Therefore, 65% of each community park is related to community amenities, while the other 35% is related to neighborhood amenities.

Additionally, each community park has been examined to determine the number of registrations received by the Park and Recreation Department for individuals or teams outside the District boundaries. The ratio of out-of-District registrations to total registrations is used to determine the portion of each park budget that are of general benefit. This proportion has been determined to be 20% for the neighborhood amenities and 40% for the community amenities. Therefore, the portion of the community park’s maintenance, servicing and operation that confers a general benefit is 20% of the neighborhood amenities and 40% of the community amenities.

The general benefit associated with the community parks includes the benefit the general public receives from the aesthetic and other environmental improvements associated with open space areas. The general benefit portion of the City’s parks should not be funded through the Assessment District and may be funded through the General Fund or other sources. Therefore, the amount that may be funded through the District for any given community park is comprised of two elements: (1) neighborhood amenities, 80% of the remaining 35% of the operating budget, and (2) community amenities, 60% of the 65% portion of the park’s operating budget. The remaining budget confers a general benefit and will be paid from funds other than the District. Based on the above analysis, the amount of park and recreational improvements that may be funded through the District is shown in Table 1. 159

9 Methodology
The benefit from parks can be measured by increased safety, the availability of improvements for recreational use, and other property-related benefits. In order to establish the proportionate share of park benefit to any parcel of land in relation to the total special benefits to be received by parks, it is necessary to establish a benchmark to relate that one parcel to all others. The benchmark is called the Park Name Total Park Costs

10 Assessment Unit (AU). The District uses the Single Family Residence (SFR) as the benchmark AU. All other land uses will be compared to the benchmark of the Single Family Residence to gain a comparative Assessment Unit based on population and parcel size as described below. Based on citizens’ input and engineering judgment regarding the factors involved, it has been determined that park maintenance and servicing benefit primarily stems from increased safety and other property-related benefits. Therefore, the safety portion of the benefit has been assigned two-thirds of the SFR Assessment Unit, and the recreational portion of the benefit has been assigned one-third, to total 1 AU per SFR.

Safety Benefit + Recreation Benefit = SFR Benefit
2/3 AU 1/3 AU 1 AU
In comparing the other land uses to the Single Family Residence, two factors are used: population data and parcel size. The benefit from the availability of improvements for recreational use is apportioned to parcels in the District based on the relative population within a given land use as determined by the City of Garden Grove Planning Department. The benefit to parcels from increased safety and other propertyrelated benefits is apportioned to other residential uses based on average parcel size as compared to the Single Family Residence. The benefit to Nonresidential, Nonprofit, Governmental and Vacant properties for increased safety and other property-related benefits is apportioned based on these parcels’ specific property size as compared to the typical 7,200 square foot SFR lot.

Multiple Family Residential properties such as apartments, mobile homes and condominiums benefit from the park maintenance and servicing funded by the District. Residents of these types of parcels have the opportunity to use the recreational facilities and benefit from safer parks and the other property-related benefits mentioned above. Because Multiple Family Residential properties have fewer people per dwelling (see Table 2), they receive a proportionally smaller benefit from the improvements and their assessments have been decreased accordingly.

Nonresidential parcels, including commercial and industrial properties, benefit from the proper maintenance and servicing of parks, since such parks attract potential customers, employees, and membership from outside the District, and encourage residents of the City to leave their residences and patronize these establishments. All Nonresidential parcels are assessed according to their parcel square footage for safety benefit resulting from park maintenance and servicing. Using the Single Family Residence as a base, Nonresidential properties receive the same number of AU’s as an SFR for every 7,200 square feet of land. Furthermore, Nonresidential parcels less than 7,200 square feet in size are assigned a minimum of 1 AU. Since the safety benefit for an SFR parcel is no less than 1 AU, it is reasonable to set 1 AU as the minimum safety benefit for non-residential parcels.

The benefit of recreational amenities is apportioned to parcels in the District based on population data from the City of Garden Grove Planning Department as shown in Table 2. This table also shows the weighted amount of benefit that each land use receives from having recreational amenities in close proximity. As it was determined that the recreational amenities made up one-third of the total benefits 161
Engineer’s Report
Park Maintenance District
City of Garden Grove
Fiscal Year 2026-27

11 received, the rounded percentage of each land use’s population, as compared to the SFR’s population, is then multiplied by one-third.

The safety associated with well-maintained parks directly benefits properties because businesses and property owners want to be located in safe neighborhoods with safe parks. Safety benefit is appropriately measured based on land area for all of the uses. However, it would be impractical to charge different amounts within the residential land uses. Therefore, the residential properties are applied an assessment unit based on the average parcel size of each land use as shown below in Table 3. The table also shows the weighted amount of benefit that each land use receives from the safety associated with having parks in close proximity. As it was determined that the safety factor made up two-thirds of the total benefits received, the rounded percentage of each land use’s population, as compared to the SFR’s population, is then multiplied by two-thirds.

The weighted benefits received from recreation and safety are then added together to determine the assessment unit for each of the land uses as shown in Table 4.

12 Nonprofit, Government and Vacant parcels receive less benefit than other Nonresidential parcels in the District from the operation, maintenance and servicing of parks in the City and are therefore assessed at lower levels, as discussed below.

Nonprofit parcels receive less benefit than other Nonresidential parcels in the District from the operation, maintenance and servicing of parks in the City for several reasons. Nonprofit parcels function differently than Nonresidential parcels in that they: 1) typically operate fewer days in the week, 2) generally have an inconsistent number of people using the facilities daily, and 3) have a less intensive use than the property size alone would indicate because in general the large Nonprofit parcels in the District contain large green areas that function as open space. Since the Nonprofit parcels receive less safety and recreation benefit than Nonresidential parcels, the Nonprofit parcels are assessed at a lower level than the Nonresidential parcels. Nonprofit parcels are assessed at 0.67 AU for every 7,200 square feet of land, with a minimum assessment of 1 AU, and are only assessed for the first 28,800 square feet. Since the safety benefit for an SFR parcel is no less than 1 AU, it is reasonable to set 1 AU as the minimum safety benefit for Nonprofit parcels.

As a result of the passage of Proposition 218, the assessment methodology for the District has to determine the special benefit that should be attributed to public agency parcels within the District boundary. Section 4 of the Proposition states,
“Parcels within a district that are owned or used by any agency, the State of California or the United States shall not be exempt from assessment unless the agency can demonstrate by clear and convincing evidence that such publicly owned parcels in fact receive no special benefit.”
Government properties also benefit from the proper maintenance and servicing of parks, since such parks attract potential employees as shown below. Proper maintenance, operation and servicing of parks benefits Government parcels because:
• they reduce property-related crimes against public parcels within the District, especially vandalism, through the abatement of graffiti;
• they improve the aesthetics of public parcels through the proper maintenance and servicing of landscaping and the planting of otherwise barren areas; Land Use Description Recreation
Benefit + Safety Benefit =

13 • they reduce pollution and noise in surrounding areas throughout the provision of open space; • having properly maintained parks readily accessible to the public properties means that the public agencies may enjoy the benefits of such improvements available for use while avoiding the expense of privately installing and maintaining similar improvements; and • spraying and treating of landscaping for disease and weed control reduces the likelihood of insect or weed infestation spreading to the landscaping located on public properties with the District.

Government parcels, however, receive less benefit than other Nonresidential parcels in the District from the operation, maintenance and servicing of parks in the City. For instance, a portion of most public properties within the District is used as a park and/or recreation area. Additionally, Government properties generally do not benefit from the resale value of their properties. Consequently, the specific benefit that is conferred to other properties in the District is not conferred to Government properties.

Therefore, the public parcels are assessed at half the rate of Nonresidential uses, receiving 0.50 AU for every 7,200 square feet of land.

Like Government parcels, Vacant parcels receive a special benefit from the safety improvements due to a decrease in vandalism as a result of the increased desirability of a parcel that is located in areas with a landscaping program. Since there are fewer improvements on a Vacant parcel and people are not using the parcel, the safety benefit to vacant parcels received is lower than other Nonresidential parcels.

Therefore, Vacant parcels are assessed at one-quarter the rate of Nonresidential parcels, receiving 0.25 AU for every 7,200 square feet of land.

The assessment unit formulas for Nonprofit, Government and Vacant parcels are shown below in Table 5.

Table 6 provides a summary of assessment units for the different land uses for park special benefit.

For the City Council to (1) approve the proposed Fiscal Year (FY) 2026-27 Budget for the Downtown Assessment District No. 1 (DTAD); (2) Adopt a Resolution initiating proceedings for the levying of assessments for Fiscal Year 2026-27; (3) Adopt a Resolution approving the Engineer’s Report; and (4) Adopt a Resolution of Intention fixing a time and date for a public hearing.

BACKGROUND
In 1977, the City Council formed the District per the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972 (Act). Through an annual assessment, the District funds the construction and maintenance of special public improvements along Main Street such as planters, sidewalks, and streetlights. The Act requires that the City Council initiate the proceedings for the annual levy of assessments. To comply with these requirements, the following actions need to take place:

DISCUSSION
On May 14, 2026, the Downtown Commission approved the FY 2026-27 Budget and is hereby submitting it to City Council for final review. Total expenses for FY 2026-27 are $57,082. The proposed assessment reflects no increase from the previous year and remains at $19.92 per linear-foot, which is equivalent to a $498 levy for the typical 25-foot storefront on Main Street. 171
Item 228/2026

The following action is for City Council to adopt the resolutions, thereby initiating proceedings for the annual assessment, ordering the preparation of and approving an Engineer’s Report, and finally setting a public hearing for June 9, 2026, at 6:30 p.m.

City of Garden Grove
Fiscal Year 2026-27

1 PART I – OVERVIEW
This Report has been prepared and is submitted for consideration by the City Council of the City of Garden Grove under the authority of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 as set forth in Part 2 of Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code.

Background
In 1977, the City of Garden Grove formed the Main Street Assessment District (MSAD) No. 1 to provide funds for the construction and maintenance of special public improvements along Main Street. Those include planters, trees, streetscaping, sidewalks, benches, trash receptacles, drinking fountains, streetlights, drainage, and bollards.

Following formation of the District, assessments were adjusted periodically as the cost of providing services increased. The current assessment rate has not been increased since 1989. The existing assessment was deemed to be exempt from the requirements set forth in Section 4 of Article XIIID by Section 5(a) following the passage of Prop 218 in 1996 which added Article XIIID to the State Constitution.

Any increase to the current assessment after July 1, 1997 is subject to the requirements of Section 4 and may not be increased without the approval of the property owners within the District.

The assessment rate was proposed to be increased for Fiscal Year 2004-05 to keep up with the rising costs and the higher levels of maintenance requested by the businesses within this Assessment District.

Notices and ballots were mailed to all property owners in the District in accordance with Section 4, Article XIIID of the California State Constitution (Proposition 218). On June 8, 2004, the public hearing was held, the ballots were tabulated, and the property owners rejected the proposed assessment increase.

Therefore, the assessments will remain the same in Fiscal Year 2026-27 as in previous years and the services funded by the assessment have been adjusted to match the funds available. No City contribution is made to this District.

In the fall of 2017, Council approved changing the name of the district from “Main Street Assessment District No. 1” to “Downtown Assessment District”.

4 PART IV – METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT
General
Part 2 of Division 15 of the Streets and Highways Code, the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, permits the establishment of assessment Districts by cities for the purpose of providing certain public improvements which include the maintenance and servicing of street lights, traffic signals, landscaping, parks and recreational facilities.

The 1972 Act requires that maintenance assessments be levied according to benefit rather than according to assessed value. Section 22573 provides that:

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 benefit to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements.

The Act permits the designation of areas of benefit within any individual assessment District if "by reasons or variations in the nature, location, and extent of the improvements, the various areas will receive different degrees of benefit from the improvement" (Sec. 22574). Thus, the 1972 Act requires the levy of a true "assessment" rather than a "special tax."
In addition, Proposition 218, the “Right to Vote on Taxes Act” which was approved on the November 1996 statewide ballot and added Article XIIID to the California Constitution, requires that a parcel’s assessment may not exceed the reasonable cost for the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel. Article XIIID provides that only special benefits are assessable and the City must separate the general benefits from the special benefits. It also requires that publicly owned properties which benefit from the improvements be assessed.

If the assessment is approved by the property owners as required by Article XIIID of the California Constitution, Section 53739 of the Government Code allows that the assessment may be imposed thereafter at “…any rate or amount that is less than or equal to the maximum amount authorized by the voter approved ordinance or resolution”.

Section 53739 also allows that the assessment may be adjusted for inflation based upon a clearly defined formula that is stated in the resolution that is approved by the property owners at an election authorizing the levy of the assessment.

The formula to be used to distribute the costs of providing the enhanced levels of services described in this Report to the assessable parcels within the District was approved by the City Council at the time the District was formed.

5 Since the District improvements are entirely located immediately adjacent to the benefited parcels, it has been determined that there no general benefit to the public at large.

Special Benefit Analysis
Street Landscaping - Trees, landscaping, hardscaping and appurtenant facilities, if well maintained, provide beautification, shade, enhance surroundings and desirability of the properties.

BENEFITS OF LANDSCAPING
Property Protection and Security
• Improved erosion resistance and dust
control
Community Character and Vitality
• Enhances the visual quality of landscaped areas,
contributing to the aesthetic appeal and
desirability of adjacent parcels
It should be noted that the definition of “parkways” above may include the roadway as well as the landscaping along the roadway.

Streetlights - The ongoing operation and maintenance and operation of streetlights provide direct benefits to properties within the District by enhancing property security, accessibility, desirability, and vitality as outlined below. Streetlights provide only incidental benefits to motorists traveling to, from or through the area.

BENEFITS OF STREET LIGHTING
Security and Safety
• Mitigates property damage due to crime
• Alleviates the fear of crime, which increases
the desirability of the property
• Enhances safe ingress/egress to property
Community Character and Vitality
• Contributes to a positive nighttime visual image
Methodology
The parcels of land in the District are all commercial properties and are assessed based on a linear foot (LF) frontage on Main Street and Garden Grove Boulevard. City-owned parking lot properties are not considered to benefit from the improvements and are therefore excluded from assessment. The table below provides the assessment apportionment for the District. 183
Engineer’s Report
Downtown Assessment District
City of Garden Grove
Fiscal Year 2026-27

6 The actual assessments levied in any fiscal year will be as approved by the City Council and may not exceed the maximum assessment. Any proposed increase above the authorized maximum assessment rates would constitute a new or increased assessment and would require compliance with Article XIII D, Section 4 of the California Constitution, including notice, public hearing, and property owner protest proceedings.
