BACKGROUND
By law, the City is required to schedule annual hearings to set assessments to pay for the costs and expenses of operating, maintaining and servicing public improvements and facilities located within each of the assessment districts that have been previously established by the City. The City’s Designated Engineer of Work, Harris & Associates (“Harris”), has prepared Engineer’s Reports containing information about each of the assessment districts, the improvements to be served through the collection of the assessments, and the actual amount of each assessment on each impacted parcel. Copies of the Engineer’s Reports were filed with the City Clerk on or about May 1, 2023 and were and are available for review upon request.

REVIEW & ANALYSIS
On May 15, 2023, the City Council approved Resolutions 2023-21 through 2023-28 providing preliminary approval of the Engineer’s Reports for each of the involved districts and setting the public hearing date for consideration of the assessments for each district as June 20, 2022. Public notice for the hearing for each of the district resolutions was published on June 7, 2023. The attached resolutions, if approved, will provide final approval of the Engineer’s Report for each district, authorize the levy and collection of said assessments, and order the maintenance, operating and/or servicing of the improvements identified in each Engineer’s Report. Labor, overhead and staff costs are also included in the proposed assessments. At the time the Reports were received the CPI for the previous year was unavailable so a placeholder of 6% was used for preliminary calculations. Since that time, the applicable CPI has been determined as 4.192% and has been used in finalizing all assessment calculations.

Consideration and action on the eight (8) resolutions should only be taken after the public hearing for each district (or groupings of districts) has been completed. Once the resolutions have been approved, Staff has been directed to forward the documents to the County so that the assessments can be paid through the property tax roll system.

The assessments set forth below have been identified for each of the districts for Fiscal Year 2023-2024.

Details on how the fees were calculated are included in each respective Engineer’s Report. Harris is recommending that the City adjust the maximum assessments (the highest assessment that could be levied in any given year during the life of a district) for the Canyon Creek, Cipriani, and Industrial Park Districts by the CPI for the previous year, established at 4.192%. The California Breeze Benefit Assessment Districts do not have provisions for annual CPI adjustments. There is no change in the proposed Fiscal Packet Pg. 184
Year 2023-2024 annual assessments from last year for the California Breeze, Canyon Creek, Cipriani Estates and Gonzales Industrial assessment districts. The proposed assessment amounts to be collected in the upcoming year should be adequate to address relevant labor and material costs. (Except in California Breeze, where fiscal year costs exceed allowable maximum assessments that as noted above, cannot be increased.) The Council may need to consider increased assessments in upcoming years to establish and maintain capital reserve fund balances.

The fees for 2023-2024 will be as follows:

California Breeze Benefit Assessment District No. 1 - Per House $187.00 No. 1 - Commercial $141.14
No. 2 - Per House $185.34
No. 3 - Per House $234.68
California Breeze Parks and Open Spaces
Maintenance Assessment District Phase 1 - Per House $227.00 Phase 1 - Commercial $88.90
Phase 2 - Per House $227.00
Phase 3 - Per House $271.76
Canyon Creek Benefit Assessment District No. 1 - Per House $600.00 No. 2 - Per House $600.00
No. 3 - Per House $600.00
No. 3 MDR1- Per Unit $600.00
Canyon Creek Parks and Open Spaces
Maintenance Assessment District No. 1 - Per House $600.00 No. 2 - Per House $600.00
No. 3 - Per House $486.00
No. 3 MDR - Per Unit $486.00
Gonzales Industrial Park Benefit
Assessment District Per Acre $1,305.00
Gonzales Industrial Park Landscape
Maintenance Assessment District Per Acre $440.00
Cipriani Estates Benefit Assessment District Per House $750.00 Lots 1-7 - $1,052.04 (base assessment plus
additional Storm Drain Maintenance charge)
Cipriani Estates Parks and Open Spaces
Maintenance Assessment District Per House $610.00
All funds collected for each district will be used for the routine maintenance and operation of the public improvements and facilities identified in each Engineer’s Report, labor, overhead, and staff costs, and for maintaining capital reserve fund balances.

Staff recommends that the Council adopt each of the resolutions confirming district diagrams and assessments and levying said assessments in the respective Benefit and Landscape Maintenance Assessment Districts.

7 PART II – ESTIMATE OF COSTS
Estimate of Costs
All improvements within the Districts are maintained and serviced on a regular basis. Based upon the available revenues generated by the assessment, City staff determines the frequency and specific maintenance operations which can be provided in a given year.

The proposed budget is shown on the following page. This includes an estimate of the costs of utilities, operations, services, administration and maintenance associated with the improvements within the Districts, including all labor, personnel, equipment, materials and administrative expenses. The budget summary also shows the estimated fund balance and the projected fund reserves that will be available and may be required based upon the estimated expenditures and assessment revenue.

Beginning in Fiscal Year 2021-22, the City combined the budget page to show only the total expenditures, revenues, etc. for the District, rather than showing the expenditures and revenues by individual phases of the development, as had been done in previous years.

The amounts collected for the current year, if any, are shown in the Budget table above. The Beginning Balances for the Capital Reserve Funds were initially transferred from the Operating Reserve Fund. The amounts in the Operating Reserve Funds should be sufficient to pay for the operations and maintenance costs for the first six months of the fiscal year. Any addition to or (reduction from) the Capital Reserve Fund will be shown and calculated annually in the same manner as the Operating Reserve Fund. Also, any funds collected for Capital Reserve, and not spent, will be included in the ending Capital Reserve fund balance the following year. Currently, the District Assessments do not have the capacity to collect any reserve amounts. Assessments must be increased in order to begin collecting funds for Capital improvement projects.

The California Breeze Benefit Assessment District has 3 separate phases. The assessment amounts for each are as follows:

11 PART IV – METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT
Method of Apportionment
GENERAL PROVISIONS – SPECIAL BENEFIT
Pursuant to the 1982 Act and Article XIIID, all parcels that receive a special benefit conferred upon them as a result of the maintenance and operation of improvements and services shall be identified, and the proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel shall be determined in relationship to the entire costs of the maintenance and operation of improvements. Chapter 6.4, Division 2, Title 5, of the Government Code, the Benefit Assessment Act of 1982, permits the establishment of assessment districts by Cities for the purpose of providing certain public improvements that include street maintenance.

Section 54711 of the Benefit Assessment Act of 1982 requires that maintenance assessments be levied according to benefit rather than according to assessed value. This Section states:
(a) No benefit assessment shall be levied pursuant to this chapter unless it meets all of the following requirements:
(1) The amount of the assessment imposed on any parcel of property shall be related to the benefit to the parcel which will be derived from the provision of the service. Except as provided in subdivision (d) or (e) of Section 54715, in the case of a benefit assessment for flood control services, the benefit must be determined on the basis of the proportionate storm water runoff from each parcel. In the case of an assessment for the maintenance of streets, roads, or highways, the benefit shall be in proportion to the estimated traffic volume to be generated by each parcel assessed, or by any other reasonable basis as determined by the legislative body. (2) The annual aggregate amount of the assessment shall not exceed the estimated annual cost of providing the service.
(3) The revenue derived from the assessment shall not be used to pay the cost of any service other than the service for which the assessment was levied.

The 1982 Act also permits the designation of zones of benefit within any individual assessment district.

Article XIIID, Section 4(a) of the California Constitution limits the amount of any assessment to the proportional special benefit conferred on the property. Article XIIID also provides that publicly owned properties must be assessed unless there is clear and convincing evidence that those properties receive no special benefit from the assessment. Exempted from the assessment would be the areas of public streets, public avenues, public lanes, public roads, public drives, public courts, public alleys, public easements and rights-of-ways, public greenbelts and public parkways.

The net amount to be assessed may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels. The costs for the operation, maintenance and servicing of the improvements maintained for each zone are apportioned in accordance with the methodology which was established by the City Council upon formation of the Districts.

12 GENERAL PROVISIONS – GENERAL BENEFIT
Although the improvements may include public streets and drainage facilities that connect to similar facilities outside the Districts’ boundaries, the construction, maintenance and operation of these improvements are only necessary for the development of properties within the Districts. As such, these improvements were not required nor necessarily desired by any properties or developments outside the Districts’ boundaries and any public access or use of the improvements by others is incidental. Therefore, it has been determined that the ongoing maintenance, servicing and operation of the District’s improvements provide no measurable general benefit to properties outside the Districts or to the public at large, but clearly provide distinct and special benefits to properties within the Districts.

ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY
Method of Assessment – BAD Phase 1
All costs associated with the maintenance and operation of BAD Phase 1 improvements including Engineer’s Report, printing and advertising of assessment notices, County collection fees and legal fees shall be spread to all parcels on a pro-rata development unit basis.

One hundred percent (100%) of all costs associated with the maintenance and operation of the BAD 1 improvements including incidentals and appurtenances is of special benefit to parcels within the district and shall be spread to all developed parcels within the District on a pro-rata development unit basis. Developed parcels are those parcels on which final map has been filed. Said parcels are also abutting or obtaining primary access from a public street.

Undeveloped parcels without an approved tentative Map shall be assessed for zero (0) the total of potential development units.

Factored development unit calculations for residential areas are as follows: Low Density residential = 1.0 Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EDU)
Office and commercial use is assessed based on an equivalent basis of 3.8 EDUs per acre using the gross parcel area. The resulting parcel A area, as shown on the assessment diagram, is assessed at 13.6 EDUs.

Monterey County charges 0.25% of the levy amount for collection for administration of the District.

Proposed and existing community or neighborhood park lands are of special benefit to parcels within Phase 1, Phase 2, and Phase 3, and are not assessed (Parcels B and C), as shown on the assessment diagram. The detention pond, Parcel B, which is for the exclusive use of this development, is not assessed.

The neighborhood park, Parcel C, was a development requirement, and was constructed by this development.

The assessment costs for the operation; maintenance and servicing of the improvements are apportioned in accordance with the methodology which was established by the City Council upon formation of the District. It was determined at that time that the most equitable method for spreading the estimated benefit received by each parcel in BAD Phase 1 should be based on the EDU method. One parcel within the boundaries of BAD Phase 1 is designated under a commercial land use. While the residential parcels will be assessed on the basis of one EDU per parcel, the commercial parcel will be assessed four (4) EDU per acre. The formula is as follows:

5 LEVEL OF MAINTENANCE SERVICES PROVIDED
Approval of the proposed assessment set forth in the Engineer’s Report will generate the revenue necessary to provide for all costs associated with the maintenance and operation of the District improvements including the assessment calculation (Engineer’s Report), printing and advertising of assessment notices, County collection fees and legal fees all of which shall be spread to all parcels on a pro-rata development unit basis.

One hundred percent (100%) of all costs associated with the maintenance and operation of the California Breeze Parks and Open Spaces improvements including incidentals and appurtenances is of special benefit to parcels within the district and shall be spread to all parcels within the District on a development unit basis. The park was constructed as a requirement of this development to serve the 331-lot subdivision development.

Pursuant to the 1972 Act:
"Maintain" or "maintenance" means the furnishing of services and materials for the ordinary and usual maintenance, operation, and servicing of any improvement, including repair, removal, or replacement of all or any part of any improvement.

6 PART II – ESTIMATE OF COSTS
Estimate of Costs
All improvements within the Districts are maintained and serviced on a regular basis. Based upon the available revenues generated by the assessment, City staff determines the frequency and specific maintenance operations which can be provided in a given year.

The proposed budget is shown on the following page. This includes an estimate of the costs of utilities, operations, services, administration and maintenance associated with the improvements within the Districts, including all labor, personnel, equipment, materials and administrative expenses. The budget summary also shows the estimated fund balance and the projected fund reserves that will be available and may be required based upon the estimated expenditures and assessment revenue.

Beginning in Fiscal Year 2021-22, the City combined the budget page to show only the total expenditures, revenues, etc. for the District, rather than showing the expenditures and revenues by individual phases of the development, as had been done in previous years.

Items included in this category include salaries, overtime, Workers's Comp, Retirement & Insurance (Life, Health & FICA).

Reserve collections from the Budget page are lower than shown in Appendix D because the current assessment rate cannot support higher collection amounts.

The California Breeze Landscape Maintenance District has 3 separate phases. The assessment amounts for each are as follows:

Beginning in Fiscal Year 2017/18, a Capital Reserve Fund was established for the District. The amounts collected for the current year, if any, are shown in the Budget table above. The Beginning Balances for the Capital Reserve Funds were initially transferred from the Operating Reserve Fund. The amounts in the Operating Reserve Funds should be sufficient to pay for the operations and maintenance costs for the first six months of the fiscal year. Any addition to or (reduction from) the Capital Reserve Fund will be shown and calculated annually in the same manner as the Operating Reserve Fund. Also, any funds collected for Capital Reserve, and not spent, will be included in the ending Capital Reserve fund balance the following year. Currently, the District Assessments do not have the capacity to collect any reserve amounts. Assessments must be increased in order to begin collecting funds for Capital improvement projects.

Expenditures for the percolation pond for Phase I & II & commercial serves only these areas. The percolation pond for Phase III only serves Phase III and thus is assessed separately.

The cost for capital replacement reserve for the items shown in Appendix D, Capital Reserve Replacement Study which was completed in FY 2017/18. Tree replacement and street repair was added to the Budget for 2019/20.

10 PART IV – METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT
Method of Apportionment

GENERAL PROVISIONS
The 1972 Act permits the establishment of assessment districts by agencies for the purpose of providing certain public improvements which include the construction, maintenance and servicing of public lights, landscaping and appurtenant facilities. The 1972 Act further requires that the cost of these improvements be levied according to benefit rather than assessed value:
“The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements.” The formula used for calculating assessments in the District therefore reflects the composition of the parcels, and the improvements and services provided, to fairly apportion the costs based on estimated benefit to each parcel.

BENEFIT ANALYSIS
Each of the improvements have been carefully reviewed by the City and the corresponding assessments have been proportionately spread to each parcel based on improvements as determined at the time the District was established.

General Benefits
The improvements within this District are a direct result of property development within the District and would otherwise not be required or necessary. Developers typically install landscape improvements to enhance the marketability and value of properties within the development and/or as conditions of development. In either case, the improvements are clearly installed for the benefit of the properties developed and not for the benefit of surrounding properties.

Although many landscape improvements (by virtue of their location), may be visible to surrounding properties or to the public at large, any benefit to surrounding properties is incidental and cannot be considered a direct and special benefit to those properties. Therefore, it has been determined that the improvements within this District and the ongoing operation and maintenance of those improvements are clearly a direct and special benefit to properties within the District.

Unless otherwise noted, these improvements provide no measurable general benefit to properties outside the District or to the public at large.

Fiscal Year 2023-24
11 Special Benefits
The method of apportionment (assessment methodology) approved at the time the District was formed is based on the premise that each of the assessed parcels within the District receives benefit from the improvements maintained and financed by annual assessments. Specifically, the assessments are for the maintenance of local landscape improvements installed as part of the original improvement. The desirability and safety of properties within the District are enhanced by the presence of well-maintained landscaping. The special benefits associated with the local landscaping improvements are specifically:
• Enhanced desirability of properties through association with the improvements. • Improved aesthetic appeal of properties within the District providing a positive representation of the area.
• Enhanced adaptation of the urban environment within the natural environment from adequate green space and landscaping.
• Increased sense of pride in ownership of property within the District resulting from wellmaintained improvements associated with the properties.

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

Non-Assessable Parcels
Within the boundaries of the District, there are properties that are considered to receive no special benefit from the District improvements and are therefore not assessed. Parcels owned by the City of Gonzales are not assessed.

ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY
The District is assessed on the basis of total development units generated for the costs of the maintenance and operation of the District including incidentals and appurtenances and shall include all the costs of maintaining and/or operating the improvements described herein.

All costs associated with the maintenance and operation of the District improvements including Engineer’s Report, printing and advertising of assessment notices, County collection fees, and legal fees shall be spread to all parcels on a pro-rata development unit basis.

One hundred percent (100%) of all costs associated with the maintenance and operation of the California Breeze Parks and Open Spaces (Annexation of California Breeze Phase III) improvements including incidentals and appurtenances is of special benefit to parcels within the district and shall be spread to all parcels within the District on a development unit basis. The park was constructed as a requirement of this development to serve the 331- lot subdivision development.

12 Developed parcels are those parcels on which final subdivision map has been filed, and which can obtain building permits as of the Public Hearing date. Said parcels are also abutting or obtaining primary access from a public street.

Factored development unit calculations are as follows: Low Density Residential = 1.0 Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EDU); Office and commercial use is assessed based on an equivalent basis of 3.8 EDUs per acre using the gross parcel area. The resulting parcel “A” area, as shown on the assessment diagram, is assessed at 13.6 EDUs. There is no assessment for park maintenance for the Office and commercial use parcels.

Monterey County charges 0.25% of the levy amount for collection for administration of the District.

Parcels owned by the City of Gonzales are not assessed, which include Parcel “A”, right-of-way reservation, rightof-way for a future grade separation structure, and Parcel “B”, the retention pond site, which was constructed to serve this development. These parcels receive no benefit from the maintenance and servicing of the improvements.

The District assessments have no annual escalation factor, meaning the assessment rates are fixed. In order for the assessments to be increased, the property owners must approve the increase through a Proposition 218 ballot procedure.

Phase 2 SFR parcels Maximum Assessment $991.39. Actual Assessment $600.00.

Phase 3 SFR & MDR Maximum Assessment $713.01/$713.00 Actual Assessment $600.00.

Beginning in Fiscal Year 2017/18, a Capital Reserve Fund was established for the District. The amounts collected for the current year, if any, are shown in the Budget table. The Beginning Balance for the Capital Reserve Fund is transferred from the Operating Reserve Fund. The amounts in the Operating Reserve Fund should be sufficient to pay for the operations and maintenance costs for the first six months of the fiscal year, approximately 50% of the total Reserve Balance. Any additional funds over and above the 50% to the Operating Reserve are shown in the Capital Reserve Fun balance. Any addition to or (reduction from) the Capital Reserve Fund will be shown and calculated annually in the same manner as the Operating Reserve Fund. Also, any funds collected for Capital Reserve and not spent, will be included in the ending Capital Reserve fund balance the following year.

Regularly scheduled street sweeping services are performed by Franchise Waste Hauler. Any services above and beyond said regularly scheduled maintenance will be billed to and paid for by the District.

For Capital Replacement Reserve items shown above, some of the costs are from the original Engineer's Report for the districts prepared in 1995. The costs for these items are shown below in 1995 dollars and escalated to year-end 2016 dollars by the increase in ENR-CCI for San Francisco for the same period. Details regarding capital replacement costs for the other items shown above are provided in Appendix D.

11 PART IV – METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT
Method of Apportionment
GENERAL PROVISIONS – SPECIAL BENEFIT
Pursuant to the 1982 Act and Article XIIID, all parcels that receive a special benefit conferred upon them as a result of the maintenance and operation of improvements and services shall be identified, and the proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel shall be determined in relationship to the entire costs of the maintenance and operation of improvements. Chapter 6.4, Division 2, Title 5, of the Government Code, the Benefit Assessment Act of 1982, permits the establishment of assessment districts by Cities for the purpose of providing certain public improvements that include street maintenance.

Section 54711 of the Benefit Assessment Act of 1982 requires that maintenance assessments be levied according to benefit rather than according to assessed value. This Section states:
(a) No benefit assessment shall be levied pursuant to this chapter unless it meets all of the following requirements:
(1) The amount of the assessment imposed on any parcel of property shall be related to the benefit to the parcel which will be derived from the provision of the service. Except as provided in subdivision (d) or (e) of Section 54715, in the case of a benefit assessment for flood control services, the benefit must be determined on the basis of the proportionate storm water runoff from each parcel. In the case of an assessment for the maintenance of streets, roads, or highways, the benefit shall be in proportion to the estimated traffic volume to be generated by each parcel assessed, or by any other reasonable basis as determined by the legislative body. (2) The annual aggregate amount of the assessment shall not exceed the estimated annual cost of providing the service.
(3) The revenue derived from the assessment shall not be used to pay the cost of any service other than the service for which the assessment was levied.

The 1982 Act also permits the designation of zones of benefit within any individual assessment district.

Article XIIID, Section 4(a) of the California Constitution limits the amount of any assessment to the proportional special benefit conferred on the property. Article XIIID also provides that publicly owned properties must be assessed unless there is clear and convincing evidence that those properties receive no special benefit from the assessment. Exempted from the assessment would be the areas of public streets, public avenues, public lanes, public roads, public drives, public courts, public alleys, public easements and rights-of-ways, public greenbelts and public parkways.

The net amount to be assessed may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels. The costs for the operation, maintenance and servicing of the improvements maintained for each zone are apportioned in accordance with the methodology which was established by the City Council upon formation of the Districts.

12 GENERAL PROVISIONS – GENERAL BENEFIT
Although the improvements may include public streets and drainage facilities that connect to similar facilities outside the Districts’ boundaries, the construction, maintenance and operation of these improvements are only necessary for the development of properties within the Districts. As such, these improvements were not required nor necessarily desired by any properties or developments outside the Districts’ boundaries and any public access or use of the improvements by others is incidental. Therefore, it has been determined that the ongoing maintenance, servicing and operation of the District’s improvements provide no measurable general benefit to properties outside the Districts or to the public at large, but clearly provide distinct and special benefits to properties within the Districts.

ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY
Method of Assessment – BAD Phase 1
One hundred percent (100%) of all costs associated with the maintenance and operation of the BAD 1 improvements including incidentals and appurtenances is of special benefit to parcels within the district and shall be spread to all developed parcels within the District on a pro-rata development unit basis. Developed parcels are those parcels on which final map has been filed. Said parcels are also abutting or obtaining primary access from a public street.

Undeveloped parcels without an approved tentative Map shall be assessed for zero (0) the total of potential development units.

Factored development unit calculations for residential areas are as follows: Low Density residential = 1.0 Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EDU)
Monterey County charges 0.25% of the levy amount for collection for administration of the District.

Proposed and existing community or neighborhood park lands are of special benefit to parcels within Phase 1, Phase 2, and Phase 3, and are not assessed (Parcels B and C), as shown on the assessment diagram. The detention pond, Parcel B, which is for the exclusive use of this development, is not assessed.

The assessment costs for the operation; maintenance and servicing of the improvements are apportioned in accordance with the methodology which was established by the City Council upon formation of the District. It was determined at that time that the most equitable method for spreading the estimated benefit received by each parcel in BAD 1 should be based on the EDU method. One parcel within the boundaries of BAD 1 is designated under a commercial land use. While the residential parcels will be assessed on the basis of one EDU per parcel, the commercial parcel will be assessed four (4) EDU per acre. The formula is as follows:

13 Method of Assessment – BAD Phase 2
All costs associates with the maintenance and operation of BAD 2 improvements including Engineer’s Report, printing and advertising of assessment notices, County collection fees and legal fees all of which shall be spread to all parcels on a pro-rata development unit basis.

One hundred percent (100%) of all costs associates with the maintenance and operation of the BAD 2 improvements including incidentals and appurtenances is of special benefit to parcels within the District and shall be spread to all developed parcels within the District on a pro-rata development unit basis. Developed parcels are those parcels on which final map has been filed. Said parcels are also abutting or obtaining primary access from a public street.

It was determined at that time that the most equitable method for spreading the estimated benefit received by each parcel in BAD 2 should be based on the EDU method. The formula is as follows:

Method of Assessment – BAD Phase 3
All costs associates with the maintenance and operation of BAD 3 improvements, including Engineer’s Report, printing and advertising of assessment notices, County collection fees and legal fees, all of which shall be spread to all parcels on a pro-rata development unit basis.

One hundred percent (100%) of all costs associates with the maintenance and operation of the BAD 3 improvements, including incidentals and appurtenances is of special benefit to properties within the District and shall be spread to all developed parcels within the District on a pro-rata development unit basis. The neighborhood park was constructed by this development for the benefit of this development. Developed Parcels are those parcels on which a final map has been filed. Said parcels are also abutting or obtaining primary access from a public street.

Factored development unit calculations for residential areas are as follows: Low Density residential = 1.0 Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EDU).

Parcels owned by the City of Gonzales are not assessed, which include Parcel “A”, right-of-way reservation, right-of-way for a future grade separation structure, and Parcel “B”, the retention pond site, which was constructed to serve this development.

The assessment costs for the operation, maintenance, and servicing of the improvements are apportioned in accordance with the methodology which was established by the City Council upon formation of the District. It was determined at that time that the most equitable method for spreading the estimated benefit received by each parcel in BAD 3 should be based on the EDU method. The formula is as follows:

Phase 3 SFR & MDR Maximum Assessment $546.27. Actual Assessment $486.00.

Beginning in Fiscal Year 2017/18, a Capital Reserve Fund was established for the District. The amounts collected for the current year, if any, are shown in the Budget table. The Beginning Balance for the Capital Reserve Fund is transferred from the Operating Reserve Fund. The amounts in the Operating Reserve Fund should be sufficient to pay for the operations and maintenance costs for the first six months of the fiscal year, approximately 50% of the total Reserve Balance. Any additional funds over and above the 50% to the Operating Reserve are shown in the Capital Reserve Fun balance. Any addition to or (reduction from) the Capital Reserve Fund will be shown and calculated annually in the same manner as the Operating Reserve Fund. Also, any funds collected for Capital Reserve and not spent, will be included in the ending Capital Reserve fund balance the following year.

For capital replacement reserve items shown above, some of the costs are from the original Engineer's Report for the districts prepared in 2004 and increased to year end 2016 dollars by the increase in the ENR-CCI for San Francisco for the same period.

Details regarding capital replacement costs for the other items shown above are provided in Appendix D.

11 PART IV – METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT
Method of Apportionment

GENERAL PROVISIONS
The 1972 Act permits the establishment of assessment districts by agencies for the purpose of providing certain public improvements including the construction, maintenance and servicing of public lights, landscaping and appurtenant facilities. The 1972 Act further requires that the cost of these improvements be levied according to benefit rather than assessed value:
“The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements.” The formula used for calculating assessments in the Districts therefore reflects the composition of the parcels, and the improvements and services provided, to fairly apportion the costs based on estimated benefit to each parcel. In addition, pursuant to Prop 218:
“No assessment shall be imposed on any parcel which exceeds the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel. Only special benefits are assessable and an agency shall separate the general benefits from the special benefits conferred on a parcel.”

BENEFIT ANALYSIS
Each of the improvements have been carefully reviewed by the City and the corresponding assessments have been proportionately spread to each parcel based on improvements as determined at the time the Districts were established.

General Benefits
The improvements within these Districts are a direct result of property development within the Districts and would otherwise not be required or necessary. Developers typically install landscape improvements to enhance the marketability and value of properties within the development and/or as conditions of development. In either case, the improvements are clearly installed for the benefit of the properties developed and not for the benefit of surrounding properties.

Although many landscape improvements (by virtue of their location), may be visible to surrounding properties or to the public at large, any benefit to surrounding properties is incidental and cannot be considered a direct and special benefit to those properties. Therefore, it has been determined that the improvements within these Districts and the ongoing operation and maintenance of those improvements are clearly a direct and special benefit to properties within the Districts. Unless otherwise noted, these improvements provide no measurable general benefit to properties outside the Districts or to the public at large.

Fiscal Year 2023-24
12 Special Benefits
The method of apportionment (assessment methodology) approved at the time the Districts were formed is based on the premise that each of the assessed parcels within the Districts receives benefit from the improvements maintained and financed by annual assessments.

Specifically, the assessments are for the maintenance of local landscape improvements installed as part of the original improvement. The desirability and safety of properties within the Districts are enhanced by the presence of wellmaintained landscaping. The special benefits associated with the local landscaping improvements are specifically:
• Enhanced desirability of properties through association with the improvements. • Improved aesthetic appeal of properties within the District providing a positive representation of the area.
• Enhanced adaptation of the urban environment within the natural environment from adequate green space and landscaping.
• Increased sense of pride in ownership of property within the District resulting from wellmaintained improvements associated with the properties.

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

Non-Assessable Parcels
Within the boundaries of the District, there may be properties that are considered to receive no special benefit from the improvements and services provided and are therefore not assessed.

ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY
The Districts are assessed, on the basis of total development units generated, for the maintenance and operation of the Canyon Creek Parks and Open Spaces Maintenance Assessment Districts 1, 2 & 3 including incidentals and appurtenances and shall include all the costs of maintaining and/or operating the improvements described herein.

All costs associated with the maintenance and operation of the Canyon Creek Parks and Open Spaces Maintenance Assessment District No. 1 improvements including Engineer’s Report, printing and advertising of assessment notices and legal fees shall be spread to all parcels on a pro-rata development unit basis.

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 agencies for the purpose of providing certain public improvements which include the operation, maintenance and servicing of landscaping, street lighting, and park and recreational facilities.

Section 22573 of the Lighting and Landscaping Act of 1972 requires that maintenance assessments be levied according to benefit rather than according to assessed value. In addition, Article XIIID, Section 4(a) of the California Constitution limits the amount of any assessment to the proportional special benefit conferred on the property.

13 Article XIIID provides that publicly owned properties must be assessed unless there is clear and convincing evidence that those properties receive no special benefit from the assessment. Excepted from the assessment would be the areas of public streets, public avenues, public lanes, public roads, public drives, public courts, public alleys, public easements and right-of-ways, public greenbelts and public parkways, and that portion of public property that is not developed and used for business purposes similar to private commercial, industrial and institutional activities.

The majority of improvements to be maintained and operated as a result of the formation District have been constructed. All of the involved improvements are being installed within or in areas in close proximity to the proposed developed residential lots.

The residential lots within the Canyon Creek subdivision receive special benefits which include enhanced neighborhood identity and quality of life, generated when park landscaping and lighting are in place, improved, operable, safe, clean and maintained. In short, maintenance and operation of the proposed improvements will provide beautification, shade, and increase the desirability of the immediate surroundings of the residential units within the District.

Because of the location of the contemplated improvements either within or close to the District, there is no general benefit to properties outside the District or the community as a whole, or a general benefit that is so negligible; it cannot be calculated for purposes of assessment.

As such, all costs associated with the maintenance and operation of the improvements, including incidentals and appurtenances, shall be spread to all parcels within the District on a per unit basis. Developed parcels are those parcels on which a final subdivision map has been filed. Said parcels also abut or obtain primary access from a public street.

In order to determine the appropriate assessment for each developed parcel, a budget for operation and maintenance costs associated with planned improvements in the entire Canyon Creek Subdivision Project was prepared. In some instances, the total cost of operation and maintenance of a given improvement must be collected on an annual basis.

Since the developed parcels in the District are the only parcels that derive special benefit from such activities, they must bear the entire cost of operation and maintenance.

Factored development unit calculations are as follows: Low Density Single Family Residential (SFR) = 1.0 Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EDU); Medium Density Residential (MDR) = 0.8 EDU Monterey County charges 0.25% of the levy amount for collection for administration of the District.

Assessments may be adjusted annually based on the April Consumer Price Index of the San Francisco-Oakland-Hayward Area All Urban Consumers Index (CPI-U). Adjustments are based on the change of the Consumer Price Index prior year/month as compared to the year/month assessments are determined (benchmark month for this district is April). The following table shows the prior year actual and maximum assessment rate per EDU, the annual CPI-U adjustment for the current fiscal year, the current year calculated maximum assessment, the assessment unit of measure, and the current year applied assessment rate.

3 PART I – DESCRIPTION OF IMPROVEMENTS
Description of Improvements

INTRODUCTION
City Staff has contracted with Harris & Associates (“Harris”) to complete the annual administration process for all of City’s assessment districts. In addition to this required annual process, Harris will conduct assessment district fund balance and capital asset replacement cash flow analysis to confirm and ensure that the City’s assessment districts annually assess property owners only for the essential funding to complete ongoing maintenance activities and finance timely capital replacement as assets reach the end of their useable lifecycles.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE DISTRICT
Gonzales Industrial Park Benefit Assessment District is generally described as a district bounded on the Northwest by Lands of Meyer; on the Southeast by existing parcels fronting Gonzales River Road (Vol. 1, Page 163, Volume 19 of Surveys, Page 67, and Volume 20 Cities and Towns, Page 13); on the Southwest by Lands of Hibino (Reel 514, Page 1002); and on the Northeast by Lands of Meyer, City of Gonzales, and Silva Harvesting, Inc.

The District was formed in 2003 to provide a dedicated funding source for the maintenance and operation of District improvements as described below. In Fiscal Year 2019/20, there were additional parcels annexed into the District. The area annexed (the “Annexation”) is located to the northeast of the existing District and totals 13.451 acres owned by the Mann Packing Company. The Annexation includes Assessor’s parcel numbers 020-021-002, 020-021-007 and 202-021- 008. The annexed parcels will be assessed at the same rate as the existing District parcels and they are included in the assessment roll shown in Appendix B.

COMPLIANCE WITH THE CALIFORNIA CONSTITUTION
Assessments are levied annually pursuant to the Benefit Assessment Act of 1982, Chapter 6.4 of Part 1 of Division 2 of Title 5 of the Government Code (“1982 Act”). All assessments described in this Report and approved by the City Council are prepared in accordance with the 1982 Act and are in compliance with the provisions of the California Constitution Article XIIID (“Article XIIID”), which was enacted with the passage of Proposition 218 (“Prop 218”) in November 1996.

9 PART IV – METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT
Method of Apportionment
GENERAL PROVISIONS – SPECIAL BENEFIT
Pursuant to the 1982 Act and Article XIIID, all parcels that receive a special benefit conferred upon them as a result of the maintenance and operation of improvements and services shall be identified, and the proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel shall be determined in relationship to the entire costs of the maintenance and operation of improvements. Chapter 6.4, Division 2, Title 5, of the Government Code, the Benefit Assessment Act of 1982, permits the establishment of assessment districts by Cities for the purpose of providing certain public improvements that include street maintenance.

Section 54711 of the Benefit Assessment Act of 1982 requires that maintenance assessments be levied according to benefit rather than according to assessed value. This Section states:
(a) No benefit assessment shall be levied pursuant to this chapter unless it meets all of the following requirements:
(1) The amount of the assessment imposed on any parcel of property shall be related to the benefit to the parcel which will be derived from the provision of the service. Except as provided in subdivision (d) or (e) of Section 54715, in the case of a benefit assessment for flood control services, the benefit must be determined on the basis of the proportionate storm water runoff from each parcel. In the case of an assessment for the maintenance of streets, roads, or highways, the benefit shall be in proportion to the estimated traffic volume to be generated by each parcel assessed, or by any other reasonable basis as determined by the legislative body. (2) The annual aggregate amount of the assessment shall not exceed the estimated annual cost of providing the service.
(3) The revenue derived from the assessment shall not be used to pay the cost of any service other than the service for which the assessment was levied.

The 1982 Act also permits the designation of zones of benefit within any individual assessment district.

Article XIIID, Section 4(a) of the California Constitution limits the amount of any assessment to the proportional special benefit conferred on the property. Article XIIID also provides that publicly owned properties must be assessed unless there is clear and convincing evidence that those properties receive no special benefit from the assessment. Exempted from the assessment would be the areas of public streets, public avenues, public lanes, public roads, public drives, public courts, public alleys, public easements and rights-of-ways, public greenbelts and public parkways.

Fiscal Year 2023-24
10 The net amount to be assessed may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels. The costs for the operation, maintenance and servicing of the improvements maintained for each zone are apportioned in accordance with the methodology which was established by the City Council upon formation of the District.

GENERAL PROVISIONS – GENERAL BENEFIT
Although the improvements may include public streets and drainage facilities that connect to similar facilities outside the District’ boundaries, the construction, maintenance and operation of these improvements are only necessary for the development of properties within the District. As such, these improvements were not required nor necessarily desired by any properties or developments outside the District’ boundaries and any public access or use of the improvements by others is incidental. Therefore, it has been determined that the ongoing maintenance, servicing and operation of the District’s improvements provide no measurable general benefit to properties outside the District or to the public at large, but clearly provide distinct and special benefits to properties within the District.

ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY
The District is assessed, on the basis of total development units generated, for the maintenance and operation of the Gonzales Industrial Park Benefit Assessment District including incidentals and appurtenances and shall include all the costs of the improvements described herein.

All costs associated with the maintenance and operation of the District improvements including Engineer’s Report, printing and advertising of assessment notices and legal fees shall be spread to all parcels on a pro-rata, net acreage basis.

Chapter 6.4 of Division 2 of the California Government Code, the Benefit Assessment Act of 1982, permits the establishment of assessment districts by agencies for the purpose of financing the operation, maintenance and servicing of drainage, flood control, street lighting, and street improvements, and installation and improvement of drainage and flood improvements. Section 54711 of the Benefit Assessment Act of 1982 requires that assessments be levied according to benefit derived from the provided service. In addition, Article XIIID, Section 4(a) of the California Constitution limits the amount of any assessment to the proportional special benefit conferred on the property.

Article XIIID provides that publicly owned properties must be assessed unless there is clear and convincing evidence that those properties receive no special benefit from the assessment. Excepted from the assessment would be the areas of public streets, public avenues, public lanes, public roads, public drives, public courts, public alleys, public easements and rights-of-ways, public greenbelts and public parkways, and that portion of public property that is not developed and used for business purposes similar to private commercial, industrial and institutional activities.

The improvements to be maintained and operated as a result of the formation of the Gonzales Industrial Park Benefit Assessment District are either in existence or scheduled to be installed simultaneously with the development of commercial/industrial property units within the District. All such improvements will be installed within or in areas in close proximity to the proposed commercial/light industrial property.

City of Gonzales
Fiscal Year 2023-24
11 As a result of the foregoing, the commercial industrial property will receive 100% of the special benefits of the operation, maintenance and servicing of drainage, flood control, street lighting and street improvements. These special benefits include enhanced neighborhood health and safety, and improved quality of life, generated when drainage, flood control and street improvements are in place, improved, operable, safe, clean and maintained. In short, maintenance and operation of the proposed improvements will provide beautification, protection of improved property, enhanced comfort and increase the desirability of the immediate surroundings of the commercial industrial property within the District.

Because of the location of the improvements either within or close to the District itself, there is no general benefit to properties outside the District or the community as a whole, or a general benefit that is so negligible; it cannot be calculated for purposes of assessment.

As such, all costs associated with the maintenance and operation of Gonzales Industrial Park Benefit Assessment District improvements, including incidentals and appurtenances, shall be spread to all property within the District on a net acreage of property basis. Said property also abuts or obtains primary access from a public street.

In order to determine the appropriate assessment for the property, a budget for operation and maintenance costs associated with planned improvements in the entire Gonzales Industrial Park was prepared. In some instances, the total cost of operation and maintenance of a given improvement must be collected on an annual basis. Since the developed property in the District is the only property that derives special benefit from such activities, said property initially must bear its pro-rata share cost of operation and maintenance. The City of Gonzales will bear the additional cost of maintenance until all properties within the District are developed. If additional commercial industrial properties gain access to the improvements constructed as part of Gonzales Industrial Park project, the cost for maintaining the improvements will be re-allocated with the additional net acreage included. It is anticipated that assessments levied in this manner will be decreased as additional properties are added to the District and derive benefit from the operation and maintenance of such improvements.

Assessable acreage in the District is: 74.231 acres
Monterey County charges 0.25% of the levy amount for collection for administration of the District.

Assessments may be adjusted annually based on the April Consumer Price Index of the San Francisco-Oakland-Hayward Area All Urban Consumers Index (CPI-U). Adjustments are based on the change of the Consumer Price Index prior year/month as compared to the year/month assessments are determined (benchmark month for this district is April). The following table shows the prior year actual and maximum assessment rate per EDU, the annual CPI-U adjustment for the current fiscal year, the current year calculated maximum assessment, the assessment unit of measure, and the current year applied assessment rate.

9 PART IV – METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT
Method of Apportionment

GENERAL PROVISIONS
The 1972 Act permits the establishment of assessment districts by agencies for the purpose of providing certain public improvements which include the construction, maintenance and servicing of public lights, landscaping and appurtenant facilities. The 1972 Act further requires that the cost of these improvements be levied according to benefit rather than assessed value:
“The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements.”
The formula used for calculating assessments in the District therefore reflects the composition of the parcels, and the improvements and services provided, to fairly apportion the costs based on estimated benefit to each parcel. In addition, pursuant to Prop 218:
“No assessment shall be imposed on any parcel which exceeds the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel. Only special benefits are assessable and an agency shall separate the general benefits from the special benefits conferred on a parcel.”

BENEFIT ANALYSIS
Each of the improvements have been carefully reviewed by the City and the corresponding assessments have been proportionately spread to each parcel based on improvements as determined at the time the District was established.

General Benefits
The improvements within this District are a direct result of property development within the District and would otherwise not be required or necessary. Developers typically install landscape improvements to enhance the marketability and value of properties within the development and/or as conditions of development. In either case, the improvements are clearly installed for the benefit of the properties developed and not for the benefit of surrounding properties.

Although many landscape improvements (by virtue of their location), may be visible to surrounding properties or to the public at large, any benefit to surrounding properties is incidental and cannot be considered a direct and special benefit to those properties. Therefore, it has been determined that the improvements within this District and the ongoing operation and maintenance of those improvements are clearly a direct and special benefit to properties within the District.

Unless otherwise noted, these improvements provide no measurable general benefit to properties outside the District or to the public at large.

Industrial Park Landscape Maintenance Assessment District City of Gonzales
Fiscal Year 2023-24
10 Special Benefits
The method of apportionment (assessment methodology) approved at the time the District was formed is based on the premise that each of the assessed parcels within the District receives benefit from the improvements maintained and financed by annual assessments. Specifically, the assessments are for the maintenance of local landscape and monument sign improvements. The desirability and safety of properties within the District are enhanced by the presence of wellmaintained landscaping and signage.

Non-Assessable Parcels
Within the boundaries of the District, there are properties that are considered to receive no special benefit from the District improvements and are therefore not assessed. Parcels owned by the City of Gonzales and Gonzales Six CA General Partnership are deemed to receive no benefit from the improvements and services and are therefore not assessed.

ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY
The District is assessed, on the basis of total assessable acreage, for the maintenance and operation of the District improvements, including incidentals and appurtenances, and shall include all the costs of maintaining and/or operating the improvements described herein.

All costs associated with the maintenance and operation of the Gonzales Industrial Park Landscape Maintenance Assessment District improvements including Engineer’s Report, printing and advertising of assessment notices and legal fees shall be spread to all parcels on a pro-rata, net acreage basis.

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 agencies for the purpose of providing certain public improvements which include the operation, maintenance and servicing of landscaping, street lighting, and park and recreational facilities. Section 22573 of the Lighting and Landscaping Act of 1972 requires that maintenance assessments be levied according to benefit rather than according to assessed value. In addition, Article XIIID, Section 4(a) of the California Constitution limits the amount of any assessment to the proportional special benefit conferred on the property.

Article XIIID provides that publicly owned properties must be assessed unless there is clear and convincing evidence that those properties receive no special benefit from the assessment.

Excepted from the assessment would be the areas of public streets, public avenues, public lanes, public roads, public drives, public courts, public alleys, public easements and rights-of-ways, public greenbelts and public parkways, and that portion of public property that is not developed and used for business purposes similar to private commercial, industrial and institutional activities.

Method of Apportionment
GENERAL PROVISIONS – SPECIAL BENEFIT
Pursuant to the 1982 Act and Article XIIID, all parcels that receive a special benefit conferred upon them as a result of the maintenance and operation of improvements and services shall be identified, and the proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel shall be determined in relationship to the entire costs of the maintenance and operation of improvements. Chapter 6.4, Division 2, Title 5, of the Government Code, the Benefit Assessment Act of 1982, permits the establishment of assessment districts by Cities for the purpose of providing certain public improvements that include street maintenance.

Section 54711 of the Benefit Assessment Act of 1982 requires that maintenance assessments be levied according to benefit rather than according to assessed value. This Section states:
(a) No benefit assessment shall be levied pursuant to this chapter unless it meets all of the following requirements:
(1) The amount of the assessment imposed on any parcel of property shall be related to the benefit to the parcel which will be derived from the provision of the service. Except as provided in subdivision (d) or (e) of Section 54715, in the case of a benefit assessment for flood control services, the benefit must be determined on the basis of the proportionate storm water runoff from each parcel. In the case of an assessment for the maintenance of streets, roads, or highways, the benefit shall be in proportion to the estimated traffic volume to be generated by each parcel assessed, or by any other reasonable basis as determined by the legislative body.
(2) The annual aggregate amount of the assessment shall not exceed the estimated annual cost of providing the service.
(3) The revenue derived from the assessment shall not be used to pay the cost of any service other than the service for which the assessment was levied.

The 1982 Act also permits the designation of zones of benefit within any individual assessment district.

Article XIIID, Section 4(a) of the California Constitution limits the amount of any assessment to the proportional special benefit conferred on the property. Article XIIID also provides that publicly owned properties must be assessed unless there is clear and convincing evidence that those properties receive no special benefit from the assessment. Exempted from the assessment would be the areas of public streets, public avenues, public lanes, public roads, public drives, public courts, public alleys, public easements and rights-of-ways, public greenbelts and public parkways.

The net amount to be assessed may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels. The costs for the operation, maintenance and servicing of the improvements maintained for each zone are apportioned in accordance with the methodology which was established by the City Council upon formation of the District.

10 GENERAL PROVISIONS – GENERAL BENEFIT
Although the improvements may include public streets and drainage facilities that connect to similar facilities outside the District’ boundaries, the construction, maintenance and operation of these improvements are only necessary for the development of properties within the District. As such, these improvements were not required nor necessarily desired by any properties or developments outside the District’ boundaries and any public access or use of the improvements by others is incidental. Therefore, it has been determined that the ongoing maintenance, servicing and operation of the District’s improvements provide no measurable general benefit to properties outside the District or to the public at large, but clearly provide distinct and special benefits to properties within the District.

ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY
All costs associated with the maintenance and operation of the Cipriani Estates Benefit Assessment District improvements including Engineer’s Report, printing and advertising of assessment notices and legal fees shall be spread to all parcels on a pro-rata development unit basis.

Chapter 6.4 of Division 2 of the California Government Code, the Benefit Assessment Act of 1982, permits the establishment of assessment districts by agencies for the purpose of financing the operation, maintenance and servicing of drainage, flood control, street lighting, and street improvements, and installation and improvement of drainage and flood improvements.

Section 54711 of the Benefit Assessment Act of 1982 requires that assessments be levied according to benefit derived from the provided service. In addition, Article XIIIID, Section 4(a) of the California Constitution limits the amount of any assessment to the proportional special benefit conferred on the property.

Article XIIID provides that publicly owned properties must be assessed unless there is clear and convincing evidence that those properties receive no special benefit from the assessment. Excepted from the assessment would be the areas of public streets, public avenues, public lanes, public roads, public drives, public courts, public alleys, public easements and rights-of-ways, public greenbelts and public parkways, and that portion of public property that is not developed and used for business purposes similar to private commercial, industrial and institutional activities.

The improvements to be maintained and operated as a result of the formation of the Cipriani Estates Benefit Assessment District have been installed given that all of the residential units within the District have been built. All such improvements are being installed within or in areas in close proximity to the proposed developed residential lots and benefiting the proposed developed residential lots.

As a result of the foregoing, the developed residential lots will receive 100% of the special benefits of the operation and maintenance of drainage, flood control, street lighting and street improvements. These special benefits include enhanced neighborhood health and safety, and improved quality of life, generated when drainage, flood control and street improvements are in place, improved, operable, safe, clean and maintained. In short, maintenance and operation of the proposed improvements will provide beautification, protection of improved property, enhanced comfort and increase the desirability of the immediate surroundings of the residential units within the District. Due to the configuration and proximity of the proposed or existing improvements within the District in relation to the developed lots, and the nature of the benefits derived therefrom, lots in close proximity to the District will not enjoy special benefits described herein. Moreover, because of the location of the contemplated improvements either within, close to, or benefiting the District itself, there is no general benefit to properties outside the District or the community as a whole, or a general benefit that is so negligible, it cannot be calculated for purposes of assessment.

11 As such, all costs associated with the maintenance and operation of Cipriani Estates Assessment District improvements, including incidentals and appurtenances, shall be spread to all parcels within the District on a development unit basis.

Developed parcels are those parcels on which a final subdivision map has been filed, and which can obtain building permits as of the date of the final public hearing on assessment. Said parcels also abut or obtain primary access from a public street.

Costs associated with the maintenance of a storm drain and appurtenances along the rear of Lots 1 through 7 and the westerly side of lot 7, as described previously in this report, will be assessed solely on Lots 1 through 7. These lots receive storm drainage from the adjacent Fairview Estates Unit No. 2 subdivision, and the storm drain improvements as described, allow those lots to be developed. A separate budget line item is included in the budget solely for the benefit of those parcels.

In order to determine the appropriate assessment for each developed parcel, a budget for operation and maintenance costs associated with planned improvements in the entire Cipriani Estates Subdivision Project was prepared. The total cost of operation and maintenance of a given improvement must be collected on an annual basis. Since the developed parcels in the District are the only parcels that derive special benefit from such activities, they must bear the entire cost of operation and maintenance.

Factored development unit calculations for residential areas are as follows: Low Density Single Family Residential = 1.0 Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EDU).

Monterey County charges 0.25% of the levy amount for collection for administration of the District.

Assessments may be adjusted annually based on the April Consumer Price Index of the San Francisco-Oakland-Hayward Area All Urban Consumers Index (CPI-U). Adjustments are based on the change of the Consumer Price Index prior year/month as compared to the year/month assessments are determined (benchmark month for this district is April). The following table shows the prior year actual and maximum assessment rate per EDU, the annual CPI-U adjustment for the current fiscal year, the current year calculated maximum assessment, the assessment unit of measure, and the current year applied assessment rate.

10 PART IV – METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT
Method of Apportionment

GENERAL PROVISIONS
The 1972 Act permits the establishment of assessment districts by agencies for the purpose of providing certain public improvements which include the construction, maintenance and servicing of public lights, landscaping and appurtenant facilities. The 1972 Act further requires that the cost of these improvements be levied according to benefit rather than assessed value:
“The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements.” The formula used for calculating assessments in the District therefore reflects the composition of the parcels, and the improvements and services provided, to fairly apportion the costs based on estimated benefit to each parcel. In addition, pursuant to Prop 218:
“No assessment shall be imposed on any parcel which exceeds the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel. Only special benefits are assessable and an agency shall separate the general benefits from the special benefits conferred on a parcel.”

BENEFIT ANALYSIS
Each of the improvements have been carefully reviewed by the City and the corresponding assessments have been proportionately spread to each parcel based on improvements as determined at the time the District was established.

General Benefits
The improvements within this District are a direct result of property development within the District and would otherwise not be required or necessary. Developers typically install landscape improvements to enhance the marketability and value of properties within the development and/or as conditions of development. In either case, the improvements are clearly installed for the benefit of the properties developed and not for the benefit of surrounding properties.

Although many landscape improvements (by virtue of their location), may be visible to surrounding properties or to the public at large, any benefit to surrounding properties is incidental and cannot be considered a direct and special benefit to those properties. Therefore, it has been determined that the improvements within this District and the ongoing operation and maintenance of those improvements are clearly a direct and special benefit to properties within the District.

Unless otherwise noted, these improvements provide no measurable general benefit to properties outside the District or to the public at large.

Cipriani Estates Parks and Open Spaces
City of Gonzales
Fiscal Year 2023-24
11 Special Benefits
The method of apportionment approved at the time the District was formed is based on the premise that each of the assessed parcels within the District receives benefit from the improvements maintained and financed by annual assessments. Specifically, the assessments are for the maintenance of local landscape improvements installed as part of the original improvement. The desirability and safety of properties within the District are enhanced by the presence of well-maintained landscaping. The special benefits associated with the local landscaping improvements are specifically:
• Enhanced desirability of properties through association with the improvements. • Improved aesthetic appeal of properties within the District providing a positive representation of the area.
• Enhanced adaptation of the urban environment within the natural environment from adequate green space and landscaping.
• Increased sense of pride in ownership of property within the District resulting from well-maintained improvements associated with the properties.

All of the preceding special benefits contribute to a specific enhancement and desirability for the parcels in the District.

Non-Assessable Parcels
Article XIIID provides that publicly owned properties must be assessed unless there is clear and convincing evidence that those properties receive no special benefit from the assessment.

Excepted from the assessment would be the areas of public streets, public avenues, public lanes, public roads, public drives, public courts, public alleys, public easements and rights-of-ways, public greenbelts and public parkways, and that portion of public property that is not developed and used for business purposes similar to private commercial, industrial and institutional activities.

ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY
The District is assessed, on the basis of total development units generated, for the maintenance and operation of the District improvements, including incidentals and appurtenances, and shall include all the costs of maintaining and/or operating the improvements described herein.

All costs associated with the maintenance and operation of the District improvements including Engineer’s Report, printing and advertising of assessment notices and legal fees shall be spread to all parcels on a pro-rata development unit basis.

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 agencies for the purpose of providing certain public improvements which include the operation, maintenance and servicing of landscaping, street lighting, and park and recreational facilities. Section 22573 of the Lighting and Landscaping Act of 1972 requires that maintenance assessments be levied according to benefit rather than according to assessed value. In addition, Article XIIID, Section 4(a) of the California Constitution limits the amount of any assessment to the proportional special benefit conferred on the property.

City of Gonzales
Fiscal Year 2023-24
12 The improvements to be maintained and operated as a result of the formation of the District have been installed given that all of the residential units within the District have been built. All of the involved improvements have been installed within or in areas in close proximity to the developed residential lots.

The developed residential lots in the Cipriani Estates subdivision will receive all of the special benefits of the operation and maintenance of parks, public landscaping and streetlights. These special benefits include enhanced neighborhood identity and quality of life, generated when park landscaping and lighting are in place, improved, operable, safe, clean and maintained. In short, maintenance and operation of the proposed improvements will provide beautification, shade, and increase the desirability of the immediate surroundings of the residential units within the District.

Because of the location of the contemplated improvements either within or close to the District itself, there is no general benefit to properties outside the District or the community as a whole, or a general benefit that is so negligible; it cannot be calculated for purposes of assessment.

As such, all costs associated with the maintenance and operation of District improvements, including incidentals and appurtenances, shall be spread to all parcels within the District on a development unit basis. Developed parcels are those parcels on which a final subdivision map has been filed, as of the date of the final public hearing on assessment. Said parcels also abut or obtain primary access from a public street.

In order to determine the appropriate assessment for each developed parcel, a budget for operation and maintenance costs associated with planned improvements in the entire Cipriani Estates was prepared. In some instances, the total cost of operation and maintenance of a given improvement must be collected on an annual basis. Since the developed parcels in the District are the only parcels that derive special benefit from such activities, they must bear the entire cost of operation and maintenance.

Factored development unit calculations for residential areas are as follows: Low Density Single Family Residential = 1.0 Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EDU).

Monterey County charges 0.25% of the levy amount for collection for administration of the District.

Assessments may be adjusted annually based on the April Consumer Price Index of the San Francisco-Oakland-Hayward Area All Urban Consumers Index (CPI-U). Adjustments are based on the change of the Consumer Price Index prior year/month as compared to the year/month assessments are determined (benchmark month for this district is April). The following table shows the prior year actual and maximum assessment rate per EDU, the annual CPI-U adjustment for the current fiscal year, the current year calculated maximum assessment, the assessment unit of measure, and the current year applied assessment rate.

The Code is a “living document,” in that it is subject to modification on a periodic and ongoing basis to meet the needs of the City and/or to bring City operations into compliance with state law. Changes to the Code are effectuated by the adoption of ordinances, which generally speaking, are written laws that must appear before the City Council and public at noticed meetings twice, once for introduction to allow review of proposed provisions, and then again for consideration of adoption.

REVIEW & ANALYSIS
The City Council is embarking on a project to revise and restate various sections of the City Code, many of which have not been updated for decades. The first chapter of the Code to be addressed in this project is Chapter 1.28- City Manager. Recent activities in the recruitment and retention of a new city manager led staff to conclude that various portions of Chapter 1.28, including enumerated duties, rights and gender AGENDA

Ordinance No. 2022- 131 “Approving Gonzales Police Department Policy Manual Policy 709-Military Equipment” was approved by the City Council on June 20, 2022.

REVIEW & ANALYSIS
Government Code Section 7071(e) (1) states that a governing body shall review any ordinance it has adopted pursuant to this section approving the funding, acquisition, or use of military equipment at least annually and, subject to paragraph (e) (2), vote on whether to renew the ordinance at a regular meeting.

Said review is scheduled for the Gonzales City Council meeting of July 17, 2023.

Government Code Section 7072 also provides that any law enforcement agency that receives approval for a military use policy pursuant to Section 7071 shall submit to the governing body an annual military equipment report for each type of military equipment approved. The Annual Report is meant to provide yearly information about military equipment that was previously approved by the Council. The report contains a summary of how the equipment is used (if at all), any complaints or concerns received about the equipment, and any associated costs related to the equipment’s use. The law enforcement agency AGENDA
