3. Exempt Property
No Special Tax shall be levied on Exempt Property as defined in Section F.

For each Fiscal Year, if the use or ownership of an Assessor’s Parcel or Exempt Property changes so that such Assessor’s Parcel is no longer classified as one of the uses set forth in Section F, therefore making such Assessor’s Parcel no longer eligible to be classified as Exempt Property, such Assessor’s Parcel shall be deemed to be Taxable Property and shall be taxed pursuant to the provisions of Section C.

D. METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT OF SPECIAL TAX
Commencing in Fiscal Year 2021-22 and for each subsequent Fiscal Year, the CFD Administrator shall levy the Special Tax on all Taxable Property of CFD 2021-1 until the total amount of Special Tax levied equals the Special Tax Requirement. The Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property within CFD 2021-1 up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement.

Notwithstanding any provision of this Section D to the contrary, under no circumstances will the Special Tax levied against any Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property that is classified as Residential Property be increased by more than ten percent (10%) per Fiscal Year as a consequence of delinquency or default in the payment of the Special Tax by the owner of any other Assessor’s Parcel.

E. PREPAYMENT OF SPECIAL TAX
The Special Tax shall be levied in perpetuity for the purpose of financing ongoing authorized services and therefore may not be prepaid.

F. EXEMPTIONS
The City Council shall classify as Exempt Property: (i) Public Property, (ii) Property Owner Association Property, (iii) Assessor’s Parcels with public or utility easements making impractical their utilization for other than the purposes set forth in the easement, including but not limited to property designated for open space, trails, pathways, parks or park and recreation related facilities, (iv) property reasonably designated by the City or CFD Administrator as affordable housing, and (v) property reasonably designated by the City or CFD Administrator as Exempt Property due to deed restrictions, conservation easement, or similar factors.

G. APPEALS
Any property owner claiming that the amounts or application of the Special Tax is not correct may file a written notice of appeal with the CFD Administrator not later than twelve months after having paid the first installment of the Special Tax. The CFD Administrator shall promptly review the appeal, and if necessary, meet with the property owner, consider written and oral evidence regarding the amount of the Special Tax, and rule on the appeal. If the decision of the CFD Administrator requires that the Special Tax for an Assessor’s Parcel be modified or changed in favor of the property owner, a cash refund shall not be made but an adjustment shall be made to the Special Tax on that Assessor’s Parcel in the subsequent Fiscal Year(s) to compensate for the overpayment of the Special Tax.

H. MANNER OF COLLECTION
Resolution No.

Date: February 13, 2024
To: Mayor Parris and City Council Members
From: Jason Caudle, City Manager
Kathleen Abaied, Human Resources Assistant Director
Subject: Amending Employee Classification and Compensation Schedule and Increasing the Full Time Equivalent (FTE) Headcount
Recommendations:

1. Adopt Resolution No. 24-XX, amending Resolution 23-65, establishing a compensation schedule for various classifications of employees of the City of Lancaster and adding four (4) FTE positions.

2. Approval of a budget adjustment in the amount of $170,276 to fund the four (4) additional positions for the remaining 4 months of the Fiscal Year 2023-2024.

Fiscal Impact:

The total cost of the four (4) additional positions are estimated at $170,276 for the remainder of the fiscal year 2023-2024. The cost of the additional four (4) FTE positions are projected to be offset over the next five (5) years in future savings by budgeted in-house costs of an estimated $882,000.

Background:

The additional FTE position is determined need of the Public Works Department. The Public Works Department Maintenance Services Division recently solicited bids for Illegal Dumping and Vegetation Removal Contract to meet California Prevailing Wage requirements. After receiving the bids for the contract, City staff reviewed the cost and weighed the options for this program. Our analysis shows that by expanding staff by four (4) new FTEs and bringing the contract services in-house, we can maintain response times and level of service, while saving money. We estimate in-house costs will be $3.4 Million less than contracting, and will result in an estimated $882,000 less than currently budgeted, over the next 5 years.

Funding four positions for the remaining 4 months of the fiscal year will total approximately 1 5
4 2
$170,276. Final costs will be determined based on hire date and salary step offered to the employee when hired. A budget adjustment is requested for the total sum of $170,276 for fiscal year 2023-2024. Annualized costs will be budgeted in subsequent years.

To: Mayor Parris and City Council Members
From: Sonya Patterson, Director of Parks, Arts, Recreation and Community Services Subject: Amendment to Citywide Fee Schedule to Approve Proposed Studio 606 Fees Recommendation:

1.Adopt Resolution No. 24-____, establishing fees for the City’s Studio 606.

2. Establish revenue account 10166130.4703 in the amount of $2,700 for Studio 606 Fiscal Impact:

Estimated fiscal impact would include a revenue projection of $2,700 for the remainder of fiscal year 23/24.

Background:

The Studio 606 facility, located on the Cedar Center for the Arts Campus, is a newly established state- of-the-art community space designed to support and promote various forms of artistic and creative expression through music, visual art, and video/film production. It features a recording studio, rehearsal spaces, art studios, and multipurpose rooms, making it an ideal venue for local artists, musicians, and creative groups.

Justification for Fees:

1. Maintenance and Operation: To ensure the sustainability of Studio 606 and to cover ongoing operational costs, it is essential to implement a fee structure. These fees will contribute to the maintenance, utilities, staffing, and upkeep of the facility.

2. Fairness and Equity: Establishing reasonable fees ensures equitable access to Studio 606 for all residents. Staff have considered the diverse socioeconomic backgrounds of our community members in determining these fees and have aimed to strike a balance between affordability and sustainability.

3. Revenue Generation: The fees generated from Studio 606 will help offset the cost of staffing and use of the equipment housed at Studio 606. 1 5
3 0
Proposed Fee Structure: After careful consideration and consultation with stakeholders, staff propose the following fee structure for Studio 606 that considers the multifaceted needs and affordability for our community:

1. A tiered fee structure: Established to include a student rate, a non-profit rate, a community rate and a commercial/business rate.

2. Editing and Mixing services: Additional services to be added to recording requests. These services will enhance audio quality and sound engineering to produce a crisp, clear sound product.

The establishment of fees for Studio 606 is a crucial step in ensuring its long-term success and accessibility to all members of our community. Staff believe that the proposed fee structure strikes the right balance between generating revenue and providing affordable access to this valuable cultural asset.

Subject:Office of Justice Programs FY23 Byrne Discretionary Grant Recommendation:

Recognize revenue in the amount of $1,100,000 into account number OJPBYRNE24.FEDOTHER (30030000.4998), and appropriate the same amount to expense account number OJPBYRNE24.MISCGRANT (30030000.5656)
Fiscal Impact:

Appropriate $1,100,000 in grant funding which will be reimbursed in Fiscal Year’s 2024 and 2025. There is no City match requirement for this grant Background:

In April 2022, City staff requested $1,100,000 Community Project Funding (also known as Earmarks) to the House Appropriations Committee, to assist our City's Public Safety staff with acquiring traffic and safety equipment. The request includes: Thirty-nine (39) CCTV cameras, six (6) dash-mounted radars, five (5) 15 in. Fixed radar w/ amber flashers, and eight (8) handheld radars, to target areas within the City that have high crime and vehicular traffic fatalities. These funds are desired by our City to provide the type of assistance that saves lives of residents and visitors to our City.

The Office of Justice Programs within the DOJ requested that we apply to the 2023 Byrne Discretionary Grant in order to receive the allocated funding which resulted in accepting and awarding the City’s application in May 2023. Once all training certification and paperwork was completed, the City was given approval to purchase the equipment and installation needed for this project. The President signed into public law on December 29, 2023 the Consolidated Appropriations Act for FY2023, HR2617 which included the City’s project.

It is recommended that City Council approve the appropriation of $1,100,000 in reimbursable grant funds for the purchase of traffic and safety equipment to our Public Safety Department.

There is no City match requirement for this grant.
