She referred to page 30, under National Demographics in the amount of $18,250. She thought we had done that a long time ago.

City Manager Gil responded that at some point this fell off as the invoice was sent to the Attorney's Office and got derailed. She mentioned this was a partnership with Soledad and staff double checked and it was for work that happened a year ago but confirmed it wasn’t paid.

Council Member Worthy also needed more clarification on page 30 on the warrants as well, under US Bank, for credit cards in the amount of $10,224.25. She thought with the new system they would be able to itemize them, and the reason she asked was because it was a high amount.

City Manager Gil responded that was the total of all the credit cards and staff could itemize them but they went into every single detail of everything and it printed about 30 pages just for that. She thought it would create more confusion due to the number of pages but she could definitely send her the itemized details of that warrant.

Council Member Worthy thanked her for doing that.

Staff Report: Public Works Director Dobbins presented the staff report.

Public Comment: Roman Barba felt the City was probably going to start raising rates on the water and sewer because it was a lot of money for it. He asked if that was going to happen.

Mayor Rios responded that was already done and it was on an agenda a long time ago, and the rates were already set.

Mr. Barba asked when they would go up again.

Public Works Director responded they were done for a five year period and go up January 1st of every year, next one was January 1, 2026 and then it settles down to 7% percent the next two years.

23. Fiscal Year 2023-2024 Audit Financial Statements and Management Report Staff Report: Finance Director Howard presented the staff report.

Public Comment: There was none.

Council Discussion: Council Member Worthy felt we needed to reduce some stuff like Meyer Park, or maybe the pool or some of these programs although she felt our kids were important but feared getting to a point of not being able to pay for the infrastructure of our community, and we needed to come up with a solution. She apologized to Council Member Funk for starting the way she did.

Council Member Funk commended staff for doing a great job to slow down and reduce excess spending, and elaborated on the things that were pointed out which were a very small dollar amount compared to a number of items that were much larger across the board that we could tighten up. He explained that was the reason we had the strategy session, and believed we were on the right path we just needed to make sure to maintain what we were doing to get back to our full reserves. But he said staff had been doing a great job with cutting expenses.

City Manager Gil noted that staff was really tightening their belts and continuously cutting where we could in excess spending, and will continue to do so at the Council’s direction. She also informed staff had been going after additional funding such as grants, and elaborated on what was just awarded. She also said the community needed to start stepping up and help just like some community members recently offered to help fill up holes at Meyer Park.

Council Member Orozco added the Rotary Club was also coming forward to replace the small barbecue grills at Central Park which were small things but made a big difference.

Mayor Rios asked about the TUT tax.

Finance Director Howard responded that the largest portion of sales tax that was softening was fuel and elaborated on the cost and economy, but they were still holding fairly strong.

STAFF REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor Rios and City Council
DATE: June 2, 2025
FROM: Michael Rodriquez, City Attorney
THROUGH: Carmen Gil, City Manager
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 2025-30 Establishing Public Comment Time Limits and Related Procedures

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council consider adoption of Resolution No. 2025-30, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Gonzales Establishing Public Comment Time Limits and Related Procedures.

BACKGROUND
In 2024, Staff commenced the process of making changes to the Gonzales City Code (GCC) to more accurately reflect the needs of the Council and City Staff. In some cases, the GCC has not been changed in more than fifty years. Council has previously provided Staff with direction to provide options with respect to modifying the public meeting process in order to ensure orderly and efficient meetings as well as Council and public interaction.

Pursuant to the provisions of the Brown Act, the City must allow the public to engage with the Council at noticed public meetings by receiving public comment on both items on the agenda and on matters not on the agenda but within the Council’s jurisdiction during the “public comment” portion of the agenda. In order to provide greater flexibility in the administration of public meetings, the Council directed Staff to prepare an ordinance to eliminate a GCC provision that established the public comment period at three (3) minutes per speaker and to replace the same with language indicating relevant speaker time limits would be set by resolution. This direction was effectuated by Ordinance 2024-147, which was adopted by the Council on January 13, 2025.

AGENDA
ITEM
9 Packet Pg. 47

REVIEW AND ANALYSIS
Per Council direction, staff has prepared a Public Comment Time Limits and Related Procedures Policy for Council consideration and adoption. The Policy establishes a new base time limit of two (2) minutes for comment when there are five speakers or fewer on a given item or during general comment on items not appearing on the agenda. When there are more than five speakers per item, the Mayor will have the discretion to reduce speaker time to not less than one minute.

In most instances the one-minute option would only be used when the Council has a large number of speakers on a given item. Under such circumstances, public comment often tends to be repetitious and has the potential to impede the Council’s timely consideration and action on agendized matters. The ability to limit the duration of public comment would also allow all speakers to be heard without having to wait for a significant period of time. As written, the policy is content neutral and allows reasonable control of the time of a speaker’s comment period based on practical time limitations.

The Policy also includes provisions allowing the Council to request that speakers identify themselves and their residence, allowing the Council to ask commenters questions, and requiring compliance with the City’s Public Meeting Decorum Policy. The Policy will also apply to meetings of any of the City’s boards and commissions.

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: The proposed Policy should help to ensure that future Council meetings are run in an orderly and efficient manner allowing the Council to continue to pursue and maintain the City vision.

Strong fiscal policies allow us to provide appropriate infrastructure for:
• Public Safety Yes ____ No X NA
• Housing Yes ____ No X NA
• Recreation Yes ____ No X NA

• Environment Yes ____ No X NA
• Education Yes ____ No X NA
Explain: NA

ALTERNATIVES
• Adopt Resolution No. 2025-30.
• Do not adopt the proposed resolution and provide Staff with direction.

BUDGET IMPACT
There is no direct financial impact associated with the proposed resolution.

CONCLUSION
It is recommended that the City Council consider adoption of Resolution No. 2025-30, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Gonzales Establishing Public Comment Time Limits and Related Procedures.

WHEREAS, in order to provide more flexibility in the administration of meeting process and decorum, the Council recently adopted Ordinance No. 2024-147 which removed the previous three (3)-minute speaker’s public comment time limit from the City Code and instead added language that time limits would be set by resolution; and WHEREAS, Staff has now prepared a policy concerning new time limits and related procedures for public speakers for the Council’s consideration and approval.

CITY COUNCIL POLICY

PUBLIC COMMENT TIME LIMITS AND RELATED PROCEDURES
In order to facilitate the orderly receipt of public comment at regular noticed meetings of the Gonzales City Council, the following provisions and procedures have been adopted and will remain in full force and effect until modified:

1. Persons present at meetings of the City Council may comment on individual items on the agenda at the time such items are scheduled to be heard. During regular City Council meetings, comments may be offered on items not on the agenda under that portion of the agenda identified for public comment. Comment may also be made virtually, subject to the same limits and procedures set forth in this policy, or submitted in writing prior to a meeting.

2. The time limit for speakers shall be between 1-2 minutes, depending on the number of speakers. If there are five (5) or fewer speakers on any agenda item, including general public comment on items not on the agenda, the limit for each speaker’s comment shall be two (2) minutes. For agenda items where there are an excess of five (5) speakers, the Mayor may, in his/her discretion, limit the time for each speaker to no less than one (1) minute. Speakers are not allowed to delegate their time to another speaker. The Mayor may limit the total time spent on an item and may continue the item, with the approval of the majority of the Council, to a future meeting at his/her discretion.

3. Upon addressing the Council, each speaker is requested but not required to first state his/her name and the city of residence. While this information helps facilitate the preparation of accurate meeting minutes, provision of the same shall not be a prerequisite to public comment.

4. A Councilmember may ask questions of persons addressing the Council.

5. The Mayor has the right to ask a member of the public to step down if comments are in violation of the Gonzales City Council Public Meeting Decorum Policy. Examples would be a comments in excess of allotted time or comments that disrupt, disturb or otherwise impede the orderly conduct of the meeting.

6. This policy shall also apply to all public meetings conducted by other City boards and commissions, with implementation authority vested in the chairpersons/presidents of such entities.

STAFF REPORT

FROM: Carmen Gil, City Manager
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 2025-31 Appointing Patrick Dobbins to the SVBGSA Board

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2025-31, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Gonzales Appointing Patrick Dobbins to the Salinas Valley Basin Groundwater Sustainability Agency Board.

BACKGROUND
The Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) was signed into law in 2014 in response to scientific understanding that groundwater in California is being used faster than its being replenished. The act required designated groundwater basins to form a public agency to develop a groundwater management plan and implement actions to help local subbasins reach or maintain groundwater sustainability.

In 2017, local GSA-eligible entities jointly formed the Salinas Valley Basin Groundwater Sustainability Agency (SVBGSA) to develop Groundwater Sustainability Plans (GSPs) and manage groundwater in the Salinas Valley according to SGMA. The SVBGSA represents a range of interests including agriculture, cities, public utility, disadvantaged communities, County, and environmental stakeholders.

REVIEW & ANALYSIS
Every three years a new representative is appointed to ensure that the South County’s interests are heard and at the table when the SVBGSA makes decisions. It is now Gonzales’ turn to have a representative on the board, making Director Dobbins the ideal candidate due to his expertise and daily interactions with water issues impacting our basins and the Salinas Valley.

Explain: Please see explanation above for the Vision.

Dobbins will be a great representative for us and for South County on due to his experience and dealings with local water issues. Representation is important for us so that we can ensure that we have a sustainable source of water well into the future.

BUDGET IMPACT
There is no impact to the budget.

It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2025-31, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Gonzales Appointing Patrick Dobbins to the Salinas Valley Basin Groundwater Sustainability Agency Board.

STAFF REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor Rios and City Council
DATE: June 2, 2025
FROM: Carmen Gil, City Manager
SUBJECT: Revised Job Description for Development Services Technician/Administrative Analyst

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the revised Job Description for the Development Services Technician/Administrative Analyst Position.

BACKGROUND
The Community Development Technician/Administrative Analyst Position has been vacant since midOctober of 2024. As the City has not yet been successful in two rounds of recruitments for the position, staff has looked more closely into the necessary duties and skills of the position and whether the Job Description was in need of updating.

REVIEW AND ANALYSIS
In closer review of the Job Description for the Community Development Technician/Administrative Analyst Position, staff found that the description was overly wordy and included some duties and skill set requirements that weren’t necessary and may have served as a deterrent to qualified candidates. Staff has attached the existing job description and a revised description for City Council review and concurrence.

Qualitatively, staff wanted to convey that supervision, guidance and on-the job learning should be expected and that the City is ready to accept people willing to learn on-the job. While we still expect proficiencies in writing, math, customer service and working well in a “team” environment, we toned down the appearance that candidates had to “know-it-all.” AGENDA
ITEM
11 Packet Pg. 55
Explain the 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.

Explanation: The revised job Description is intended to be more attractive to job-seeking candidates to assist the City in staffing the long-vacant Community Development Services Technician position. Filling the position will allow the City to continue to support the Vision of the City.

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

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.

Explanation: See Vision and Mission Statements above.

Strong fiscal policies allow us to provide appropriate infrastructure for:
• Public Safety Yes No X N/A
• Housing Yes No X N/A
• Recreation Yes No X N/A
• Environment Yes No X N/A
• Education Yes No X N/A
Explanation: Not Applicable.

ALTERNATIVES
The City Council may consider not making the revisions to the job description. This is not recommended as these are duties in the description that do not apply to the position.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no impact to the budget with updating the position; therefore, the expense of carrying continued temporary consultant staffing for Building Services activities is not sustainable

STAFF REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor Rios and City Council
DATE: June 2, 2025
FROM: Michael Rodriquez, City Attorney
THROUGH: Carmen Gil, City Manager
SUBJECT: Resolutions Providing Preliminary Approval of Engineer's Reports and Setting Date for Approval of Levy and Collection of Assessments

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council consider and adopt:

1. Resolution No. 2025-32 Designating Engineer of Work and District Counsel;

2. Resolutions No. 2025-33 and 2025-34 regarding California Breeze Assessment Districts;

3. Resolutions No. 2025-35 and 2025-36 regarding Canyon Creek Assessment Districts;

4. Resolutions No. 2025-37 and 2025-38 regarding Industrial Park Assessment Districts; and

5. Resolutions No. 2025-39 and 2025-40 regarding Cipriani Assessment Districts.

BACKGROUND
The City has a number of established assessment districts in various locations throughout the City, formed in accordance with the provisions of the Lighting and Landscaping Act of 1972 or the Benefit Assessment Act of 1982. These districts serve to provide funds to finance the costs associated with the maintenance of district improvements. By law (the aforesaid Acts and California Constitution Article XIIID), the City is required to schedule hearings to set the annual assessments for each district. As has been the practice for a number of years, consulting City Engineer Harris & Associates 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 23, 2025, and are available for review upon request.

REVIEW & ANALYSIS
AGENDA
ITEM
12-20
Packet Pg. 64
The attached resolutions designate the “Engineer of Work” and District Counsel for the districts, provide for preliminary approval of the Engineer’s Reports for each of the identified assessment districts, declare the Council’s intent to confirm the district diagrams and levy assessments, and set a public hearing date of Monday, July 21, 2025, for consideration, approval and levying of the assessments.

With the exception of the California Breeze Districts, which do not have an allowable CPI inflator, the Maximum Assessment in each District is adjusted by the applicable CPI for the previous year. The Maximum Assessment in each District represents the maximum assessment that can be imposed in a given year. This year, the CPI was 1.270% and it is recommended that all Maximum Assessments be adjusted accordingly.

There is no proposed change in the assessments from last year for any of the California Breeze and Canyon Creek assessment districts. In the Cipriani development, the Parks and Open Spaces assessment will remain the same as the assessment set in FY 2024-2025, while in the Benefit Assessment Districts there will be no change to the assessments for Lots 1-7 and a decrease in the assessment from $750 to $678 for Lots 8-66 and 70-75. In the Industrial Park, assessments in the Parks and Landscape District will increase from $440 to $575 per acre, while in the Benefit Assessment District there will be an increase from $1,305 to $1,500 per acre. The new assessments have been set to adequately address involved maintenance, labor and material costs, and project costs in the coming fiscal year.

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: The assessments fund the maintenance of various improvements located within the involved subdivisions. Regular and routine maintenance of such improvements helps to preserve the safe and attractive environment the City strives to provide for its citizens.

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. X Yes No Explain: The proposed assessments will allow the City to maintain a variety of improvements that ensure residential safety and promote local housing opportunities by maintaining a healthy housing stock.

Strong fiscal policies allow us to provide appropriate infrastructure for:
• Public Safety X Yes No NA
• Housing X Yes No NA
• Recreation Yes No X NA
• Environment Yes No X NA
• Education Yes No X NA
Packet Pg. 65
Explain: The creation and annual collection of assessments enables the City to maintain improvements vital to public safety and the ongoing well-being of portions of the City’s housing stock.

ALTERNATIVES
None at this time.

BUDGET IMPACT
The City will have to incur the cost of subdivision maintenance, or allow the same to lapse, if the assessments are not approved and levied.

CONCLUSION
The Council should initiate the first step in its annual process of considering and levying assessments in various assessment districts in the City by adopting the attached resolutions. Said assessments provide the City with the means of covering the costs of maintenance responsibilities for improvements in each 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.

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:

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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:

The neighborhood park was constructed by this development for the benefit of this development. Developed Parcels are those parcels on which a final map has been filed. Said parcels are also abutting or obtaining primary access from a public street.

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

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

Assessment needed to Fully fund $739.15 Phase 3 SFR parcels Maximum Assessment $583.01 . Actual Assessment $600.00. Assessment needed to Fully fund $646.13 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.”

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 2025-26
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.

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 2025-26
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 rights-of-way, 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 being maintained and operated as a result of the formation District have been constructed. All of the improvements have been installed within or in areas in close proximity to the 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 improvements, 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).

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.

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.

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.

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

Fiscal Year 2025-26
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 were installed simultaneously with the development of commercial/industrial property units within the District. All such improvements were installed within or in areas in close proximity to the commercial/light industrial property.

Fiscal Year 2025-26

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

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.”

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

Industrial Park Landscape Maintenance Assessment District City of Gonzales
Fiscal Year 2025-26
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 were installed simultaneously with the development of commercial industrial property within the District. All the improvements were installed within or in areas in close proximity to the commercial industrial property.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

PUBLIC WORKS / CITY ENGINEER DEPARTMENT

STAFF REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor Rios and City Council
DATE: June 2, 2025
FROM: Patrick Dobbins, Public Works Director/City Engineer THROUGH: Carmen Gil, City Manager
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 2025-28 Establishing the FY 2025-2026 Cost of Services Fee Schedule

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council approve Resolution No. 2025-28, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Gonzales Establishing the Cost for Services Fee Schedule for Fiscal Year 2025-2026.

BACKGROUND
Gonzales City Code 1.44.020 “General Fee Schedule Established” states “The City Council shall by resolution adopt and may by resolution from time to time amend, a schedule of fees and charges applicable to City services and functions not otherwise specifically provided for in this code. Said schedule shall be known and designated as the General Fee Schedule of the city.” Every year, staff present an updated Cost for Services Fee Schedule to the City Council for inclusion in the proposed budget for the upcoming fiscal year beginning July 1st. Staff proposes fees that are legal, applicable, cost effective, and cover the expected cost for city provided services. The adoption is publicly noticed as evidenced by the attached legal notice.

AGENDA
ITEM
21 Packet Pg. 308

REVIEW AND ANALYSIS
Staff performed a comprehensive review of the various city fees for this update. Staff collected the current fee schedules for the cities of Soledad, Greenfield and King and reviewed their fees to ensure our fees were in line with neighboring cities. And all departments were asked to review their respective fees and some adjustments were made, such as:

1. Building and Planning fees were cross checked with rates from 4Leaf to ensure that the City is receiving cost recovery.

2. Recreation fees were revised to support cost recovery and to be more in line with surrounding cities.

3. Mitigation Rates for the Fire Department Emergency Response were updated to reflect the rates approved at the March 17th City Council Meeting.

The proposed fees were increased by the Bureau of Labor Statistics Price Index (CPI) as of February 2025. This year, the index is 2.7% as shown on the attached document from the State’s website. This is the same index used each year. On January 1, 2026, water and wastewater fees will increase per Resolution No. 2023-67.

For the impact fees, pursuant to Gonzales City Code Section 1.48.050 C1: the appropriate index to use is the Engineering-New Record Construction Cost Index from December of the prior year, which would result in an adjustment of 2.9% as shown in Attachment 2.

Solid Waste collection fees are established by the Salinas Valley Solid Waste Authority (SVSWA) and Tri-Cities Disposal (franchise hauler). Tri-Cities’ rates are changing under a new franchise agreement that is going before Council on June 16, 2025. SVSWA pass-through fees include a 5.15% increase to its organics processing fee, along with its annual AB939 fee adjustment which resulted in a 11.96% increase.

Attachments to this staff report are the adopting resolution, the proposed fees for Fiscal Year 2025-26, with any increases in bold, the Consumer Price Index increases, the Construction Cost Index for the impact fee increases and the explanation of the fees including current and proposed fees. This item is a Public Hearing and the published Public Notice is also attached (Attachment 3).

Explain: Collecting appropriate fees provides the needed resources to maintain and improve Gonzales’ safe, clean, and family-friendly community.

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.
1 “Annual Adjustment of Fees: Notwithstanding substantive adjustment of impact fees based on reconsideration or updated analyses of those matters set forth in subsection A of this section, the fees established in subsection B of this section shall be adjusted every year on July 1, commencing July 1, 2007, to reflect the annual percentage change in the construction cost index for San Francisco as of December 1 of the previous year as reported in the ‘Engineering News-Record’.”
Packet Pg. 309
Explain: The attached fee schedule provides only the needed resources for continued excellent services. Fees do not provide the full cost of services but try to recover reasonable fees.

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

Explain: Using this updated fee schedule is a cost-effective way to provide services and recover reasonable costs for those services.

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 Yes No X N/A
Explain: Service and impact fees allow services to continue and improve. Keeping cost of living increases reasonable allows Gonzales to be more sustainable.

ALTERNATIVES
The City Council could direct staff to modify the recommended fees or leave fees at last year’s values.

Staff recommends against this option to keep fees and costs aligned as much as possible to avoid the need for future larger increases.

BUDGET IMPACT
The recommended fees are incorporated into the proposed budget for Fiscal Year 2025-26.

CONCLUSION
Staff recommends the City Council approve Resolution No. 2025-28, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Gonzales Establishing the Cost for Services Fee Schedule for Fiscal Year 2025-26.
