RESOLUTION NO. 24-xx

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LA VERNE, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING RESOLUTION NO. 23-63 RELATIVE TO CERTAIN FEES

AND POLICIES FOR SERVICES PROVIDED BY THE CITY OF LA VERNE WHEREAS, the Municipal Code of the City of La Verne provides that certain filing fees, permit fees, inspection fees, deposits, and conditions of service may from time to time be established by the City Council;
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of La Verne has determined that the cost of providing certain services is not of general benefit but of benefit to the individual and, therefore, certain filing fees, permit fees, inspection fees and deposits should be required to pay for materials and special services performed by City staff; WHEREAS, after the passage of Propositions 4 and 218, local governments were made to charge the costs of services to those who benefited; WHEREAS, for certain services performed, the cost of providing said services greatly varies and is contingent upon the specifics of each project or application. The City Council finds it more appropriate to require an initial deposit to guarantee the applicant will reimburse the City for costs associated. If the costs exceed the deposit, the applicant shall be responsible for additional deposits or reimbursement necessary to offset cost. If the cost of service performed is less than the deposit, then the difference shall be refunded to the applicant;
WHEREAS, based upon fee justification reports on file with the Assistant City Clerk and the City Finance Division, the City Council finds that the fees included in this Resolution represent the actual costs of the services provided or facilities funded and, therefore, there is a rational relationship between the fees charged and the services and facilities provided;
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that since the fees represent the actual costs of the services or facilities provided, there is a reasonable relationship between the amount of the fee charged and the costs of the services or facilities provided to the person paying the fee;
WHEREAS, after notifying those parties interested in fee revisions and publishing notice of a public hearing on April 2, 2024, the City Council held a public hearing on the proposed adoption of this Resolution on April 15, 2023.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of La Verne that Resolution No. 23-63 containing the established comprehensive fee schedule be amended and the amendments be incorporated with the content of Resolution No. 24-XX into the City’s 2024-25 Comprehensive Fee Schedule.

SECTION 1. All adjustments for fiscal year 2024-25 are incorporated in the 2024-25 “Comprehensive Fee Schedule” attached hereto.

Reso No. 24-xx Page 2 of 2
SECTION 2. If any provision of this Resolution is held to be unconstitutional or unlawful, it is the intent of the City Council that such portion of this Resolution be severable from the remainder and that the remainder be given full force and effect.

SECTION 3. The Mayor shall sign and the Deputy City Clerk shall certify to the passage and adoption of this Resolution and a copy of this Resolution shall be posted for the information of the general public. Fees adopted in the “Comprehensive Fee Schedule” pursuant to this Resolution shall supersede any and all other fees previously set by resolution and shall take effect on July 1, 2024.

Agenda Report

DATE: April 15, 2024
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Cody Howing, City Engineer
SUBJECT: CITYWIDE LANDSCAPE AND LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. 6 ZONES 2, 3, 4-I, 4- II, 5, AND 6; ENGINEER'S REPORT

SUMMARY
An Engineer’s Report for Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District No. 6, including special zones 2, 3, 4-I, 4-II, 5, and 6, those areas receiving specific benefit in addition to the special citywide benefit, has been prepared for City Council approval. Said approval and Council action on the item resolution will establish the public hearing for June 17, 2024.

RECOMMENDATION
That City Council adopt the attached Resolution approving the Engineer’s Report and setting the public hearing for Landscape and Lighting District No. 6 Zones 2, 3, 4-I, 4-II, 5, and 6 for June 17, 2024.

DISCUSSION
Annually, the City reviews the assessments for all of its Landscape and Lighting Maintenance Districts (LLMD). Based on previous discussions with City Council about the need to individually review each district due to some district's expenditures exceeding the available assessments (revenues), a closer look at all LLMDs were performed. This report includes descriptions of improvements to be maintained and services to be performed by the City.

Based on this review, the Citywide District Assessment (Zone 1) is proposed to remain at zero.

No change in the assessment levy is being proposed for the subject special benefit in Zones 2 and 3. Zones 4-I and 4-II are proposed to have assessments increased and undergo a Proposition 218 ballot process allowing property owners to protest or approve the recommended increases. Zone 5 is proposed to have the levied assessment reduced below the maximum assessment amount to draw down reserves. For Zone 6, a Consumer Price Index (CPI) escalation which is allowed in the formation of this Zone, will provide for an increase to last year’s maximum assessment per parcel, which was $301.39.

A General Fund loan is necessary to balance the budgets in Zone 3 (Wheeler and Tabor) in the amount of $2,814.00. This annual amount to balance the budget is down approximately 40% from the prior year’s budget. Staff will continue to evaluate cost-cutting measures for this Zone. Future options to balance this budget may include a Proposition 218 ballot process.

In past years, Zone 4-1 has also required general fund loans to balance the annual budget. For Zone 4-I, an effort to increase assessment was undertaken in 2010 via a Proposition 218 ballot,

Citywide Landscape and Lighting District NO. 6 Zones 2, 3, 4-I, 4-II, 5, and 6; Engineer's Report, Page 2

but the increase was ultimately rejected by the property owners. For Fiscal Year (FY) 2024-25 staff is proposing that the City Council consider moving forward with a Proposition 218 ballot process for Zone 4-1 in order to balance the budget with increased assessment revenue. The proposed increase to the maximum assessment for FY 2024-25 is 7.9% or an additional $11.23 per parcel. This increase will also be coupled with a CPI escalation rate based on the annual March CPI issued by the Federal Government for the Los Angeles area. No negative CPI rates will be applied to the maximum assessment rate should the condition exist in the future. If approved, going forward, the maximum assessment will be increased by CPI as determined necessary.

Zone 4-II has in the past balanced the annual budget by use of surplus funds. While surplus funds are available to balance the 2024-25 budget, the practice has drawn down the reserves to a level that may impact the preferred reserve levels if continued. Since its creation, Zone 4-II has not had an escalation applied by CPI. Staff are proposing an assessment increase of 9.8% which amounts to $14.45 per parcel for the annual assessment. In conformance with Proposition 218, the proposed increase will be subject to a ballot process for property owners subject to the assessment to protest or approve. This increase will also be coupled with a CPI escalation rate based on the annual March CPI issued by the Federal Government for the Los Angeles area. No negative CPI rates will be applied to the maximum assessment rate should the condition exist in the future. If approved, going forward, the maximum assessment will be increased by CPI as determined necessary.

Due to cost-cutting measures, Zone 6 for the FY 2024-25 budget, the Zone will be paying back a portion of the outstanding deficit. No Proposition 218 ballot process is proposed for Zone 6 for FY 2024-25 due to budget conditions improving at this time. Continued efforts at cost- cutting will be evaluated and future consideration of a Proposition 218 ballot may be a recommendation of future FY budgets.

* The proposed assessment increases are subject to approval through a Proposition 218 ballot process.
** The maximum assessment will be levied for Zone 6 based on the March 2024 CPI which will be released on April 12, 2024. The Engineer’s report will be amended accordingly and any additional revenue from the CPI increase will be applied to deficit repayment for District 6 Zone

6. The Proposition 218 ballot process requires that ballot for the affected parcels are sent out with 45 day notice. In addition to the required ballot and notices, City staff plan to hold community meetings to inform property owners of the details as to what the increase involves for their Zone and to respond to any questions posed by the public. Further social media posts and other means of communication will be utilized in making sure the public is informed of the process and related impacts should the increase be approved or rejected.

FISCAL ANALYSIS
Based on the proposed budget for FY 2024-25, application of a general fund loan appropriation in the amount of $2,841.00 is required to balance the budget for Zones 3 in the condition that the increase be approved for Zone 4-I and 4-II. In the event those proposed increases are rejected, the general fund appropriations will be increased to $9,588.00. Adequate reserve funds are available for the remainder of the Zones to balance budgets for FY 2024-25.

Should the City Council not wish to proceed with the proposed Proposition 218 ballot process for Zones 4-I and 4-II, the City Council can choose to continue balancing the budget with loans or appropriations from the General Fund. Should the City Council direct staff to proceed with a Proposition 218 ballot process, ballot preparation will commence immediately.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The annual maintenance of Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District No. 6 related facilities is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act, Section 15301 and City of La Verne environmental guidelines.

The pedestrian trail within the “natural” setting benefits all properties in the zone boundaries and also the City generally. Fifty perc ent of the riparian area, in cluding the pedestrian trail and drainage structure, is of a “general” Citywide benefit. A proposition 218 ballot process for the FY 24-25 period, if appr oved, includes increasing the maximum assessment to $153.08 per parcel with an annual escalation to the maximum assessment based on the Local Consumer Price Index (CPI) based on the year to year rate determined for the month of March not to exceed 5% on an annual basis.

The proposed assessment for this zone is $153.08 per parcel, which reflects an approximate 8% increase over the prior maximum assessment.

The proposed assessment for this zone is $161.54 per parcel, which reflects an appro ximate 10% increase over the prior maximum assessment.

Zone 5

The plans and specifications for the irri gation and landscaping were prepared by the developer and previous ly approved by the City Engineer. Landscaping generally consists of trees, shrubs, gr ound cover and turf on Pu ddingstone Drive median, Puddingstone Drive and Wright Avenue intersecti ons with Fairplex Drive and Orange Avenue and the Wheel er Avenue median landscaping. Reference is hereby made to the said plans and specif ications for the exact location and nature of the landscape improvements. Said pl ans and specifications by reference are hereby made a part of this report and are on file in City Hall a nd are available for public inspection. A location map is attach ed as Exhibit “F.” The zone is located south of Arrow Highway and we st of Fairplex Drive. The zone is bound to the north by Metrolink Rail, to the east by Fairplex Drive, to the south by Puddingstone Drive and to the west by the Marshall Canyon drainage channel.

For FY 2024-25 as in the seventeen pr evious fiscal years, costs for the maintenance, including utility expenses for the mini park, street lights and traffic signal will not be included in this zone. City Council on May 5, 2014 approved the addition of the University of La Verne’s Ca mpus West two parcels into this zone.

On April 4, 2016, the City Council approved a development agreement with Gilead Sciences, Inc. requiring Gilead to pay 11 times the single parcel fee in the zone which was equal to a previous entitled 11 lo t industrial park on the same site. The proposed assessment for this zone is $2 33.75 per parcel for FY 2024-25. The maximum assessment allowable for this zone is $247.62 per parcel.

Zone 6

This zone was formed in June of 2002 as a condition of tract Map No. 52965 for the maintenance of landscapi ng along Fruit and Amherst St reets within the limits of the subdivision. A locati on map is attached as Exhibit “G”. The zone is located to the north east of the intersection of Fruit Street and Amherst Street. Parcels included in this zone are located on Hart shorn Ranch Place, Oak Tree Lane, and the south side of Bowdoin Street between Fruit Street and Guava Street.

The proposed assessment for this zone is $301.39 per parcel, which reflects the maximum assessment allowable for this zone.

SECTION 3. METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT

No assessment will be made upon the properties within the Citywide District (Zone 1) for FY 2024-25.

The basis for benefit for the significant land uses for the Citywide District (Zone 1) are no longer applicable.

Within the Citywide District there are specific zones which contain unique improvements required with the original development of the properties within the specific zone. These improvements are landscaping in nature and are included in the discussion in Section 2 of this report. The costs for these improvem ents are assessed to the respective zones.

Each zone has its own expenditure budget. The nature of this landscaping equally benefits each parcel withi n the individual zone containing the landscaping. Because of this each parcel within a zone is equally assessed.

Each of the specific zones receive specia l benefit from the impr ovements maintained and further described in this report. Furthermo re since each of the respective Zones in District 6 include improvements that are located on, or visible from public right-of-way, a general benefit contribution fr om the City has been factor ed into the apportionment of assessments proposed for annual levy. The gener al benefit for each Zone will amount to the respective full budget identified for sta ff time. This contribution will represent the full value of the general benefit contribution to the zones.

Zone 5, the San Polo La Vern e Business Park (formerly Ko ll Business Park La Verne), was unique to itself. Agreements between the Koll Company and the City of La Verne required that the San Polo La Verne Business Park participate in a specific Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance Distri ct. The improvements already included were similar to those improvements included in the Citywide District. Thus Zone 5 did not include the basic assessment for the Citywid e District (Zone 1). With the transfer of the funding for the maintenance of improvement s included in the Citywide Di strict (Zone 1) from the Citywide Assessment District to the General Fund (Utility Tax) and with the application of the Utility Tax to the parcels within Zo ne 5, funding for the more general benefit improvements, i.e. traffic signal, mini park and street li ghts have been deleted from Zone 5 and are now included in the General Fund.

SECTION 4. ESTIMATED COSTS FOR THE MAINTENANCE OF THE

IMPROVEMENTS
