COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT

STAFF REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor Rios and City Council
DATE: July 17, 2023
FROM: Taven Kinison Brown, Community Development Director THROUGH: Carmen Gil, City Manager
SUBJECT: Vista Lucia Annexation Project Update

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Gonzales City Council and Planning Commission take the following actions:
• Receive the staff report;
• Receive the presentation from the applicant; and
• Provide comments and direction as necessary.

BACKGROUND
Staff last presented an update on the Vista Lucia project with the Gonzales City Council back on December 5, 2022. Since that time, the City Council, Staff, and the applicant have been diligently moving forward on the processing of this transformative project for the community. Important actions taken since that time include but are not limited to:
• Appointment of Development Sub-Committee
• Retained Contract Staff to Increase Capacity
• Re-Submittal of Draft Specific Plan
• Adoption of Local Ag Mitigation Ordinance
• Completion of SB 610 Water Supply Assessment
• Fiscal Impact Report
• Draft Development Agreement in Process
• Draft Environmental Impact Report Ongoing
AGENDA
ITEM
2 Packet Pg. 5
• Progress on Draft Affordable Housing Agreement
• Meetings with Gonzales Unified School District
• Meetings with LAFCO Staff
This presentation will provide the City Council and the Planning Commission with an opportunity to review progress, with anticipation of significant project milestones to occur later in 2023 and into early 2024.

REVIEW AND ANALYSIS
Of significance in the last month has been the resubmittal of a revised Draft Specific Plan by the applicant and the redevelopment of the project description to be used in the Draft Environmental Impact Report.

The Draft EIR is the next critical stage as no votes on the project can be taken until the environmental impacts are reviewed and addressed under the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). It is currently anticipated that the Draft EIR will be available to the public for review by the end of 2023 for a mandatory 45-day review period.

During that period, staff and the applicant team will continue to work on other vital tasks, including the Development Agreement, Affordable Housing Agreements, Public Financing Plans, Agricultural Mitigation and other key information relevant to allowing the Planning Commission, City Council and Monterey LAFCO to adequately review and analyze the project.

How the Recommendation Supports the Vision
Gonzales will continue to be a safe, clean, family-friendly community, diverse in its heritage, and committed to working collaboratively to preserve and retain its small-town charm.

Explain: Staff is committed to working collaboratively with developers interested in pursuing developments within the City limits as well as the Sphere of Influence. A well-done and wellimplemented specific plan, built upon the City’s General Plan will assure that Gonzales will continue to be a safe, clean, family-friendly community, diverse in its heritage, and retain its small-town charm.

Explain how the Recommendation Directly Implements the Mission The City Council and Staff of the City of Gonzales will realize our Vision by providing the leadership, commitment, and resources necessary to provide excellent services that enhance the quality of life of our diverse community.

Explain: The City has shown leadership and vision in its support of the Specific Plan developments, built upon the City’s General Plan. While most of the efforts to pay for City and consultant staff time have been funded through the two developers of potential specific plans, the City has been at the table to secure SB1 Grants and other financial resources to allow the City to hire consultants, such as Willdan to evaluate potential development in the sphere of influence.

City services will be delivered in a cost-effective, respectful and friendly manner to ensure the safety and well-being of the residents and the promotion of business, recreational, housing and employment opportunities in an environmentally sustainable manner.

Explain: This update to the City Council is meant to keep all apprised of the work underway, and the work ahead. Eventual approval of such specific plans will allow for the City to triple in population.

As such, the Key Supporting Studies described above and the work on the Development Agreement, and Environmental Impact report are particularly focused on providing City services in a costPacket Pg. 6 effective, respective and friendly manner to ensure the safety and wellbeing of the new populations to come, without burden on the existing residents and the city/neighborhood-entered designs of the General Plan and specific plans promote and provide for new business, new recreation, housing and employment opportunities in an environmentally sustainable manner.

Strong fiscal policies allow us to provide appropriate infrastructure for:
• Public Safety X Yes No N/A
• Housing X Yes No N/A
• Recreation X Yes No N/A
• Environment X Yes No N/A
• Education X Yes No N/A
Explain: See Vision explanation above.

BUDGET IMPACT
With Reimbursement Agreements in place, the City is offsetting public costs through developer deposits.

Additional activities in support of developing new housing in the sphere areas are also supported by grants that the City has secured. City staff continues to scan for new grant opportunities to provide additional resources to these efforts.

CONCLUSION
Receive the staff report and provide comments and direction, if desired. Staff and the Pembrook development team will be available for comments and questions.

The Budget was presented and approved by Council on June 20th.

On that same day, the Council was presented with the prestigious All-American City Award by former Hayward Mayor and National Civic League Board Member Barbara Halliday.

Housing Efforts
• In support of the Council’s housing priority, the City Manager entered into a $9,500 contract with Design Path Studio to design a pre-approved set of Accessary Dwelling Plans (ADUs), that will be made available to the public for a low fee with the goal of assisting the community to build more local housing. The pre-approved plans will be made available in early August.
• The City Manager, along with the City’s housing consultant, met with the Ad Hoc Housing/Development Committee to provide updates and receive policy direction on upcoming key items. The committee is active and is diving deep into the housing and development work.
• The City Manager is reengaging with DR Horton to better understand their feasibility study process and where it stands. The City is also planning a follow-up meeting with the School District to assess potential for alignment as housing is a critical need for their workforce. • The City Manager and Community Development staff have engaged with the Housing Element consultants from 4Leaf to move the work along in order to meet the State’s established deadline of December 2023. The Element’s approval can influence and make available housing monies. As part of its public engagement process, a team of folks were out at the Fourth of July event conducting surveys to gather community input for the document.
• On June 27th, the City Manager and Community Development staff attended MBEP’s Housing Summit where there was a robust conversation around the Housing Element, potential policies, and impediments to housing construction. The conversation was productive and there were key individuals in the room that can help make shifts at both the local and State level to ease some of the restrictions on housing development. At the meeting, the City Manager also connected with CHISPA staff to discuss the senior housing project on Alta Street that has been on hold for some time.

Community Center Complex
• The work on the Community Center continues to move forward. The Agreement between the Consultants from Otto Construction and WRNS is almost finalized.

Revenue Generation
• The City Manager is engaging with partners at the County and the Community Foundation for potential funding opportunities that may be able to support certain aspects of our Community Health Worker program.
• The City is also working to adjust some of our fees to bring them up to industry standards as many of our fees have not been updated in quite a few years. This includes the reinstatement of our water fees and shutoffs since during COVID-19, we did not conduct any shutoffs.
• The City Manager and Community Development staff will be meeting with a Legacy Signs representative to continue the discussion and exploration of a potential digital sign for the community. This billboard and communications opportunity can bring in upwards of hundreds of thousands of dollars for the community, and serve as a communications tool if the Council decides it’s something that can be of benefit.

Community Engagement
• The City Manager attended MBEP’s Digital Equity Workshop on June 2nd. The Workshop aligned with our efforts around broadband access and our work on the Middle Mile. The discussion was interesting and intriguing as information was provided on potential upcoming grant opportunities.
• The City Manager also met with the local School Superintendent. We are beginning to plan for next year’s GYC and are working to collaborate more efficiently on issues that affect both entities such as housing, the GYC, and community beautification. A joint meeting of the School Board and City Council is scheduled for August 8 th

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
Gloria Road Cooler Project The City Council adopted a Mitigated Negative Declaration, approved a General Plan Amendment, Prezoning, and initiated annexation proceedings with LAFCO on May 15th to potentially allow for the construction of a 243,800 square foot development with a 70,000 square foot expansion. The City submitted the application to LAFCO on May 24th and is currently under their review. Staff has been in contact with Monterey County regarding the required Property Tax Transfer Agreement. The City continues to meet bi-weekly with the applicant’s team to facilitate construction plans, and satisfaction of conditions of approval. Slama Consulting has provided exceptional assistance with these efforts.

Legacy Signs, who wishes to construct one to two freeway-oriented electronic reader billboards, has shared what development application review materials, supplemental information items and development review fees would be necessary to move forward. Zoning text changes will be necessary, a use permit application, environmental review document, development review fees deposited, and eventually a lease agreement with the City for use of City lands and operations of the sign, including public service announcements. Staff will be meeting with Mr. Smith on Wednesday July 12, 2023.

As the water supply assessment has been finalized, the Development Agreement has been submitted for City Review, the financing and plans for services has matured, the Affordable Housing Plan and first Tentative Map have been re-thought and re-presented to demonstrate a strong affordable housing component to this large and sizable development. Prior to submission to LAFCo, the environmental review process will need to be completed, and the project and its many components brought to the Planning Commission for recommendation and to City Council for action in December 2023. Slama Consulting continues to provide very instrumental assistance with these efforts.

DR. Horton continues in their due diligence and exploration of development of the 138-acre D’Arrigo property. While not wanting to proceed with a formal Reimbursement Agreement to pay for City development review efforts directly attributable to the developer’s proposal, the builder has offered a “pay as we go” item for item.

Kid Power
• Before we opened Kid Power Camp, we took the week to clean, disinfect, and prepare the Vosti Center, changing it from an afterschool program into a camp setting. We cleaned all the tables and chairs and changed our set up. We also had some fun-filled days of training with staff to prepare them before we got to kick off the seven weeks of summer camp. Kid Power Camp kids typically spend their day in different parts of town which can include: the Community Pool, the Joint Use Gym, Central Park, or Classrooms at La Gloria Elementary School. The school also provides a free meal to our kids through the free lunch program the school offers. • Week 1 of Kid Power Camp took place on June 20-23rd, we did lots of arts and crafts. Our theme of the week was “Love Your Earth”. Wednesday of week one we got a visit from Save the Whales. They played games with the children. One game included a question on, “How many years do you think an item would take to break down inside a whale?” They loved it! We also went over to a water table and talked about pollution in our water and ocean systems. On Thursday, Salinas Valley Recycling came and did a presentation about composting which helped the kids understand where to put your food scraps and how it helps the environment. In addition, the kids were also given the opportunity to research the soil that had different kinds of bugs, they were very interested in checking out the bugs.

• For the month of June, we sold a total of 19 Pool Passes, with 12 of them being Youth Pool Passes. • The Aquatics Team was accepting registrations for Junior Lifeguards, and we were able to take on a total of 7 Junior Lifeguards. This is a great opportunity for kids between the ages of 12-15 because it allows them to build their lifeguarding skills which includes: first aid water rescue and how to help teach swim lessons. Ultimately, this program is a great transition for kids that are looking to one day work at the pool as a Lifeguard or Swim Instructor.

2023 Summer Reuse, Recycle & Cleanup Day Report
June 30, 2023
Submitted to: Mayor & City Council of the City of Gonzales through the Office of the City Manager On June 24, 2023, the City of Gonzales held its summer community cleanup day event at Fairview Middle School. The event was advertised to residential utility customers through social media and mailers.

The flow of traffic by participants was steady. CalTrans staff tracked the number of participants at 168 vehicles. Fairview Middle School continues to be an ideal location to maintain a safe and visible community event.

The event provides landfill disposal vouchers for refrigerators and freezers at the Johnson Canyon Landfill. Volunteers benefit from being able to direct participants to the nearby landfill to dispose of bulky items such as mattresses and appliances. Rather than unload them into dumpsters, residents can easily push them off into landfill collection piles.

The event focuses on preventing illegal dumping and helping residents “clear the clutter.” It facilitates source separation, recycling, and proper disposal of hazardous waste, trash, appliances, mattresses, scrap metal, rigid plastics, cardboard, and electronic waste.

The event was sponsored by a DOT/Caltrans “Clean California Dump Day” grant. The grant covered the city’s landfill disposal fees and professional staff time for Tri-Cities and Salinas Valley Recycles. This partnership allows Caltrans District 5 to do outreach to further our shared goals of eliminating littering and illegal dumping.

The free “Take it or Leave it” area continues to be a big hit with the community. As anyone who has participated in these
events knows, the reuse area has many great finds. Most of our adult volunteers were surprised to find many useful items for themselves! The event accepts donations for the clothing closet at the Gonzales Community Presbyterian Church.

Blankets and towels are separated and delivered to South County Animal Rescue, where they are needed to care for rescued animals.

A team from Save the Whales was on site to conduct surveys and educate the community about protecting against
stormwater contamination.

CITY MANAGER DEPARTMENT

STAFF REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor Rios and City Council
DATE: July 17, 2023
FROM: Carmen Gil, City Manager
SUBJECT: Agreement with C4 Consulting

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve and Authorize the City Manager to sign an Agreement with Michelle Slade, C4 Consulting, for rendering services that support Youth Leadership Development.

BACKGROUND
The City of Gonzales has been contracting with Michelle Slade since 2013 for services on various grants and projects. She has been instrumental in helping to develop and guide the Gonzales Youth Council (GYC). Her support continues to be a necessary asset as the City dives into high impact, large-scale projects with limited staff.

REVIEW AND ANALYSIS
The Gonzales Youth 21st Century Success Initiative continues to be a driving force of the City as the Council continues to prioritize supporting youth development and growing our own next level professionals. This Agreement continues to support the effort and ensures that there is continuity with the Youth Council as more internal capacity is developed.

The proposed contract specifically includes support around asset-based youth engagement and leadership development to continue fostering creativity and innovation through the Gonzales Youth 21st Century Success Initiative through a results-based collaborative effort with City staff. It also supports the ongoing model of peer-to-peer learning and support as it engages the leadership of a former GYC Alumni.

Continuing support for leadership development and capacity building is essential to meeting the Council’s vision and mission.

AGENDA
ITEM
14 Packet Pg. 57
Explain Recommendation and How it Supports the Vision
Gonzales will continue to be a safe, clean, family-friendly community, diverse in its heritage, and committed to working collaboratively to preserve and retain its small town charm.

Explain: This Agreement ensures that the work of the GYC and the Youth 21st Century Success Initiative continues to move forward without losing traction. It is important that we continue to support the work as the civic engagement of youth is one of our staple programs and has become a model for others not only across the state, but also the nation.

Explain how the Recommendation Directly Implements the Mission The City Council and Staff of the City of Gonzales will realize our Vision by providing the leadership, commitment, and resources necessary to provide excellent services that enhance the quality of life of our diverse community.

Explain: This Agreement provides the necessary resources to continue with our GYC initiative.

City services will be delivered in a cost-effective, respectful, and friendly manner to insure the safety and well being of the residents and the promotion of business, recreational, housing and employment opportunities in an environmentally sustainable manner.

Explain: The return on investment on this contract is ten-fold as the leadership development and capacity building of our young people is invaluable.

Strong fiscal policies allow us to provide appropriate infrastructure for:
• Public Safety X Yes No N/A
• Housing Yes x No N/A
• Recreation X Yes No N/A
• Environment X Yes No N/A
• Education X Yes No N/A
Explain: This Agreement for services follows approved fiscal policies and will be monitored to ensure desired results are consistent with approved City Council goals.

ALTERNATIVES
Without the support of the Contractor our support for the GYC would be constrained and the traction generated over the last few years could be lost.

BUDGET IMPACT
This new Agreement with the Contractor is less than previous contracts. It is not to exceed $35,000.00 and runs from July 2023 - June 2024.

CONCLUSION
It is recommended that the City Council approve and Authorize the City Manager to sign an Agreement between the City of Gonzales and Michelle Slade, C4 Consulting, for rendering services that support Youth Development and high impact Capacity-Building.

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. 76
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

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

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.

During the course of its regular meeting on June 20, 2023, the City Council continued the public hearings for the imposition of assessments for each of the assessment districts to July 17, 2023. The continuances were approved in order to afford the entire Council the opportunity to consider and take action on the involved assessments and assessment related matters.

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 has conducted an 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 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:

13 Method of Assessment – BAD Phase 2
All costs associates with the maintenance and operation of BAD Phase 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 prorata development unit basis.

One hundred percent (100%) of all costs associates with the maintenance and operation of the BAD Phase 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.

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

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 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 Phase 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 prorata development unit basis.

One hundred percent (100%) of all costs associates with the maintenance and operation of the BAD Phase 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.

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.
"Service" or "servicing" means the furnishing of electric current or energy, gas, or other illuminating agent for any public lighting facilities or for the lighting or operation of any other improvements.

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.

Includes costs for landscape contractor, Smith & Enright.

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.

California Breeze Parks and Open Spaces
City of Gonzales
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.

The assessment amounts for each are as follows:

Phase 1 SFR parcels Maximum Assessment $825.74. Actual Assessment $600.00.

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.

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.

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.

Canyon Creek Parks and Open Spaces
City of Gonzales
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.

Fiscal Year 2023-24
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.

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.

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.

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.

Industrial Park Benefit Assessment District
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.

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 Landscape Maintenance 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 the improvements as shown herein. 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.

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 ENRCCI for San Francisco for the same period. Details regarding capital replacement costs for the other items shown above are provided in Appendix D.

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.

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.

Packet Pg. 255 Attachment: Industrial Park Landscape Report (2766 : Industrial Park Assessment Districts (Resol 2023-48 and Resol 2023-49)) Engineer’s Report
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.

The improvements to be maintained and operated as a result of the formation of the Gonzales Industrial Park Landscape Maintenance Assessment District will be installed simultaneously with the development of commercial industrial property within the District. All of the involved improvements will be installed within or in areas in close proximity to the proposed commercial industrial property.

Fiscal Year 2023-24
11 As a result of the foregoing, the commercial industrial property, will receive all of the special benefits of the operation and maintenance of public landscaping. These special benefits include enhanced identity and quality of life, generated when landscaping is in place, improved, operable, safe, clean and maintained. In short, maintenance and operation of the proposed improvements will provide beautification, and increase the desirability of the immediate surroundings of the industrial/commercial property within the District.

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.

5 PART II – ESTIMATE OF COSTS
Estimate of Costs
All improvements within the District 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 District, 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.

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.

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.

Fiscal Year 2023-24
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.

Fiscal Year 2023-24
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.

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.

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.

STAFF REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor Rios and City Council
DATE: July 17, 2023
FROM: Michael Rodriquez, City Attorney
THROUGH: Carmen Gil, City Manager
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 2023-54 AB 481 Military Use Equipment

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council consider and adopt Resolution No. 2023-54, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Gonzales Approving and Accepting the Gonzales Police Department’s AB 481 Fiscal Year 2022-2023 Annual Military Equipment Report Pursuant to Government Code Section 7071(d) and Renewing City of Gonzales Ordinance No. 2022-131 “Approving Gonzales Police Department Policy Manual Policy 709-Military Equipment.”

BACKGROUND
Effective January 1, 2022, Assembly Bill 481 (codified in Government Code Section 7070 et seq.) requires legislative bodies to adopt ordinances approving military equipment policies before law enforcement agencies can continue to engage in specified activities related to the use of what the state legislature has defined as “military equipment” in Government Code Section 7070. The Gonzales Police Department Military Equipment Policy was approved by the City Council by Ordinance No. 2022-131 on June 20, 2022.

Government Code Section 7071(e)(1) states that a governing body shall review any ordinance that 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), to vote on whether to renew the ordinance at a regular meeting.

Paragraph (e)(2) of Government Code Section 7071 states that the governing body shall determine, based on an annual report, whether each type of military equipment identified in that report has complied with the standards for approval set forth in subdivision (d) of Section 7071, which reads as follows:

AGENDA
ITEM
19 Packet Pg. 316
(A) The military equipment is necessary because there is no reasonable alternative that can achieve the same objective of officer and civilian safety.
(B) The proposed military equipment use policy will safeguard the public’s welfare, safety, civil rights, and civil liberties.
(C) If purchasing the equipment, the equipment is reasonably cost-effective compared to available alternatives that can achieve the same objective of officer and civilian safety. (D) Prior military equipment use complied with the military equipment use policy that was in effect at the time, or if prior uses did not comply with the accompanying military equipment use policy, corrective action has been taken to remedy nonconforming uses and ensure future compliance.

If the governing body determines that a type of military equipment identified in its annual military equipment report has not complied with the standards for approval set forth above, the governing body shall either disapprove a renewal of the authorization for that type of military equipment or require modifications to the military equipment use policy in a manner that will resolve the lack of compliance.

In order to facilitate the orderly annual ordinance review referenced above, Government Code Section 7072 requires that any law enforcement agency that receives approval for a military equipment use policy pursuant to Section 7071 shall submit to the government body an annual military equipment report for each type of military equipment approved by the governing body within one year of approval, and annually thereafter for as long as the military equipment is available for use. The law enforcement agency shall also make each annual military equipment report required by this section publicly available on its internet website for as long as the military equipment is available for use. The annual military equipment report shall, at a minimum, include the following information for the immediately preceding year for each type of military equipment:
(1) A summary of how the military equipment was used and the purpose of its use. (2) A summary of any complaints or concerns received concerning the military equipment. (3) The results of any internal audits, any information about violations of the military equipment use policy, and any actions taken in response.
(4) The total annual cost for each type of military equipment, including acquisition, personnel, training, transportation, maintenance, storage, upgrade, and other ongoing costs, and from what source funds will be provided for the military equipment in the calendar year following submission of the annual military equipment report.
(5) The quantity possessed for each type of military equipment. (6) If the law enforcement agency intends to acquire additional military equipment in the next year, the quantity sought for each type of military equipment.

A copy of the Gonzales Police Department’s AB 481 Annual Report 2022-23 is attached hereto as Exhibit

1. REVIEW AND ANALYSIS
The City Council considered and adopted Ordinance No. 2022-131 “Approving Gonzales Police Department Policy Manual Policy 709- Military Equipment” on June 20, 2022. During the June 20 meeting, and the prior meeting at which Ordinance No. 2022-131 was introduced, the Council took comment from the public and discussed the ordinance and involved policy.

On June 20, 2023, the Council received the Police Department’s Annual Report on military equipment.

The Report was thereafter posted on the City’s website on June 26, 2023. Staff also publicized the date and location of the required “Community Engagement Meeting” concerning the Report, set as a part of the City Council’s regular meeting agenda for July 17, 2023, through social media, postings, and as a part Packet Pg. 317
of the City Council’s posting of its meeting agenda. Policy 709 has been continuously posted on the City website since adoption.

The Annual Report is meant to provide yearly information about each type of military equipment that was approved by Council. In Gonzales, the only military equipment possessed by the Police Department is nine (9) semi-automatic rifles and three (3) 38mm “Less Lethal Projectile Launchers.” The Report contains a summary of how equipment was used, any complaints or concerns received about the equipment, and any associated costs related to the equipment’s use. For this reporting period, no new military equipment was purchased, the equipment was only utilized for minimal and/or training purposes, and all costs were contained within budget appropriations. The Report does not seek approval of future acquisitions.

The Council should hold a community meeting to receive comment upon and to discuss the Annual Report. Thereafter, State law requires that the City review and consider renewal of its ordinance and military equipment policy. Since there have been no changes in the types or use of military equipment held by the Police Department in the past year, all of the findings made by the Council in support of the adoption of Policy 709 in 2022 should remain unchanged. As such, staff believes that both the Annual Report and Ordinance and Policy 709 can be renewed for another year by way of resolution finding that the Annual Report has been prepared in accordance with legal requirements and that there have been no changes to the policy and no immediate plans to acquire any additional military equipment. The adoption of a new ordinance is not needed at this time.
