STAFF REPORT

NB 1
08/11/2026
TN
Date: August 11, 2026
To: Mayor Parris and City Council Members
From: Larissa De La Cruz – Assistant City Manager
Michael Flores, Coordinator II - Economic Development
Subject: Shop. Drive. Fuel. Earn. Rebate Program
Recommendations:

1. Adopt Resolution No.___ approving the Shop. Drive. Fuel. Earn. rebate program as an expansion of the City’s existing Shop.Drive.Earn. program.

2. Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to implement the program, establish program guidelines, and administer rebate distribution through the City’s existing Open Rewards platform.

Fiscal Impact:

No additional funds are being allocated for the Shop. Drive. Fuel. Earn. rebate program. The fuel component will utilize existing funds previously allocated for the Shop. Drive. Earn. program.

Verified Lancaster residents will be eligible to receive $50 through the Open Rewards platform for fuel purchases at participating Lancaster gas stations, while funds remain.

Background:

The City of Lancaster continues to seek opportunities to support residents while strengthening the local economy. The City currently administers the Shop. Drive. Earn. program through the Open Rewards platform to encourage local spending and support participating Lancaster businesses.

The proposed Shop. Drive. Fuel. Earn. rebate program expands upon the existing Shop. Drive.

Earn. program by adding a fuel component. Through this expansion, verified Lancaster residents will be eligible to receive a $50 rebate for qualifying fuel purchases made at participating gas stations located within the City of Lancaster.
2 4
8 7
The proposed program provides a dual benefit. It offers meaningful relief to Lancaster residents who are impacted by the cost of commuting, while also keeping fuel purchases local and supporting Lancaster gas stations. By directing rebate activity to participating businesses within the City, the program helps circulate dollars locally, supports business activity, and reinforces the City’s continued commitment to residents and the local economy.

STAFF REPORT
City of Lancaster
NB 2
8/11/2026
TN
Date:August 11, 2026
To: Mayor Parris and City Council Members
From:Allison Burns, City Attorney
Subject:An Ordinance Amending Section 2.04.030 of the Lancaster Municipal Code to Establish the Salaries of the Mayor and City Council Members at the Amount Authorized for General Law Cities By California Government Code Section 36516 Recommendation:

Introduce, and conduct the first reading of Ordinance No. ____, an ordinance of the City Council of the City of Lancaster, California, Amending Section 2.04.030 of the Lancaster Municipal Code to Establish the Salaries of the Mayor and City Council Members at the Amount Authorized for General Law Cities By California Government Code Section 36516.

G.C. Section 84308: No
Fiscal Impact:

The proposed ordinance would align the City with the general law and establish $2,550.00 per month as the salary for each member and for the Mayor. Across the five members of the City Council, annual salary cost would increase from approximately $36,000 to approximately $153,000.

Background:

The City of Lancaster is a charter city organized under a charter adopted by the voters and filed with the Secretary of State, designated Charter Chapter No. 5, Statutes of 2010. The compensation of a charter city’s own officers is a municipal affair. (Cal. Const., art. XI, § 5(a), (b)(4)).

Section 203 of the City Charter provides that compensation for the Mayor and each City Council Member “may be set, and from time to time may be changed by ordinance, which ordinance shall be adopted by a four-fifths vote of the Mayor and City Council.” Section 203 sets no dollar 2 4
8 9
ceiling, and the population-based schedule of Government Code section 36516 governs general law cities rather than charter cities. The amount is therefore committed to the City Council’s discretion, bounded by the public purpose and gift of public funds doctrine. (Cal. Const., art.

XVI, § 6.) For a city of Lancaster’s population — over 150,000 and up to and including 250,000 — the section 36516 schedule authorizes $2,550.00 per month.

A city council necessarily acts on its own compensation, and the City Charter commits that decision to the City Council by supermajority ordinance. No member is disqualified from participating and no member is required to recuse. Because Section 203 does not require that an increase be deferred to a new term, the City Council’s election on the deferral question should be stated on the record.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
LANCASTER, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING SECTION 2.04.030 OF

THE LANCASTER MUNICIPAL CODE TO ESTABLISH THE

SALARIES OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS

AT THE AMOUNT AUTHORIZED FOR GENERAL LAW CITIES
BY CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 36516
WHEREAS, the City of Lancaster (the “City”) is a California municipal corporation and charter city organized and existing under the Constitution and laws of the State of California and the Lancaster City Charter (the “Charter”), ratified by the voters on April 27, 2010, and pursuant to Article XI, Section 5 of the California Constitution and Sections 100 and 101 of the Charter has the power to make and enforce all ordinances and regulations with respect to municipal affairs; and
WHEREAS, Section 203 of the Charter provides that the compensation of the Mayor and the Members of the City Council may be set or changed only by an ordinance adopted by a four- fifths vote of the City Council; and
WHEREAS, Section 2.04.030 of Chapter 2.04 of Title 2 of the Lancaster Municipal Code establishes the salary of each Member of the City Council at six hundred dollars ($600.00) per month pursuant to California Government Code section 36516, and the salary of the Mayor at six hundred dollars ($600.00) per month, inclusive of the amount received as a Member of the City Council, pursuant to California Government Code section 36516.1; and WHEREAS, the monthly salaries of the Mayor and the Members of the City Council have remained unchanged since 1995, a period of more than thirty years, notwithstanding the substantial growth of the City’s population, the increased scope and complexity of the City’s operations, and the corresponding increase in the time and effort required of the City’s elected officials; and WHEREAS, California Government Code section 36516, as amended by Senate Bill 329 (Stats. 2023, ch. 27, § 2), effective January 1, 2024, authorizes the city council of a general law city with a population over 150,000 and up to and including 250,000 to enact an ordinance providing that each member of the city council shall receive a salary of up to and including two thousand five hundred fifty dollars ($2,550.00) per month (Cal. Gov’t Code § 36516(a)(1), (a)(2)(E)); and
WHEREAS, the population of the City, as determined by the last preceding federal census and subsequent estimates validated by the California Department of Finance, exceeds 150,000 and does not exceed 250,000, placing the City within the population bracket described in California Government Code section 36516(a)(2)(E); and
WHEREAS, California Government Code section 36516.1 authorizes additional compensation for a directly elected mayor; consistent with the City’s longstanding practice, this Ordinance establishes the salary of the Mayor at the same amount as that of the Members of the 4903-9900-5381v1/022283-0548
6 6
6 7
City Council, inclusive of the amount received as a Member of the City Council, and does not provide the Mayor any additional compensation; and
WHEREAS, as a charter city, the City is not bound by the compensation limitations applicable to general law cities with respect to municipal affairs, and the compensation of the City’s elected officials is a municipal affair governed by Section 203 of the Charter; the City Council nevertheless elects, as a matter of policy, to align the salaries of the Mayor and the Members of the City Council with the maximum amount that a general law city of the City’s population may adopt by ordinance under California Government Code section 36516, and to observe the procedural safeguards of California Government Code section 36516(g); and WHEREAS, in accordance with California Government Code section 36516(g), this Ordinance was presented, together with the findings set forth in these recitals demonstrating the need for the increased compensation, in open session at a regular meeting of the City Council held on __________, 2026, at which meeting the Ordinance was not adopted, and was considered for adoption in open session at a regular meeting of the City Council held on __________, 2026, at least seven days after the first meeting; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the increased compensation established by this Ordinance is needed to: (1) reflect the growth of the City’s population and the corresponding increase in the scope, complexity, and time demands of service as Mayor or as a Member of the City Council, including service on regional boards, authorities, and committees; (2) account for more than three decades of inflation since the salaries were last adjusted in 1995; (3) ensure that service in the City’s elected offices remains reasonably accessible to residents of all economic circumstances and is not limited to persons of independent means, thereby broadening the pool of candidates for elective office; and (4) maintain parity with the compensation the Legislature has determined to be reasonable for the elected officials of comparably sized general law cities.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LANCASTER DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. Recitals. The City Council finds that the foregoing recitals are true and correct and are incorporated herein by this reference as findings of the City Council, including the findings demonstrating the need for the increased compensation required by California Government Code section 36516(g)(2).

SECTION 2. Code Amendment. Section 2.04.030 of Chapter 2.04 of Title 2 of the Lancaster Municipal Code is hereby amended and restated to read in full as follows:
“2.04.030 – City council salaries.

According to the provisions of Government Code Section 36516, and consistent with the maximum salary authorized by Government Code Section 36516(a)(2)(E) for general law cities with a population over 150,000 up to and including 250,000, the city council salary is established at two thousand five hundred fifty dollars ($2,550.00) per month, and in accordance with the provisions of Government Code Section 36516.1, the salary of the mayor is established at two thousand five hundred fifty dollars ($2,550.00) per month inclusive of the amount received as member of the city council. 4903-9900-5381v1/022283-0548

The mayor and each city council member shall be eligible to participate in any continuing education and/or tuition reimbursement program the city offers to city employees in the same manner and pursuant to the same rules as city employees, except that the mayor and each city council member shall be eligible for a maximum of five thousand dollars ($5,000.00) per fiscal year in reimbursements. Any amount reimbursed to or for the benefit of the mayor or a city council member pursuant to the city’s tuition reimbursement program shall be in addition to the salary provided in the preceding paragraph and shall be considered compensation as authorized by Section 203 of the city’s Charter.” SECTION 3. Applicability of Salary Adjustment. The compensation of the City’s elected officials is a municipal affair governed by Sections 101 and 203 of the Charter, and California Government Code section 36516.5 does not constrain the City’s exercise of its charter authority.

The salaries established by Section 2 of this Ordinance shall apply to the Mayor and all Members of the City Council commencing on the first day of the first full calendar month following the effective date of this Ordinance.

SECTION 4. Environmental Determination. The City Council finds that the adoption of this Ordinance is not a “project” subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA,” California Public Resources Code section 21000 et seq.) because it is an organizational, administrative, and fiscal activity of government that does not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment, and because it has no potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment (CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, title 14, section 15378(b)). In the alternative, the Ordinance is exempt under the “common sense” exemption (California Code of Regulations, title 14, section 15061(b)(3)) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the Ordinance may have a significant effect on the environment.

SECTION 5. Severability. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion of this Ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional by the decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Ordinance. The City Council declares that it would have adopted this Ordinance, and each section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, sentences, clauses, phrases, or portions thereof be declared invalid or unconstitutional.

SECTION 6. Publication. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this Ordinance and shall cause this Ordinance, or a summary thereof, to be published and/or posted in the manner required by California Government Code section 36933.

SECTION 7. Effective Date. This Ordinance shall take effect on the thirtieth (30th) day following its adoption, in accordance with California Government Code section 36937. 4903-9900-5381v1/022283-0548

Recommendation:

Adopt Resolution , establishing a Minor Use Permit entitlement application fee.

G.C. Section 84308: No
Fiscal Impact:

Recovery of costs related to the processing of a Minor Use Permit entitlement.

Background:

On October 25, 2022, the City Council of the City of Lancaster (“City Council”) adopted Ordinance No. 1093, a Zone Text Amendment for revisions to Title 17 of the Lancaster Municipal Code, which included the creation of a new Minor Use Permit (MUP) entitlement.

The MUP application allows a property or business owner to undergo thorough review by staff, and through this process, a public notice is sent to neighboring property owners and tenants. A public hearing is not required for approval.

Since the adoption of Ordinance No. 1093, staff has applied the existing Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for Existing Facilities fee to MUP applications, as the processes are similar. However, a CUP process is more extensive than an MUP and best practices dictate that an independent fee be established for MUP applications.

In addition, the City is currently updating regulations for Massage, Alcohol, Recycling, and Tobacco (MART) uses, and many of these uses require an MUP in order to operate. As a result of community feedback received during MART outreach, the City aims to establish a reduced, more accessible and appropriate MUP fee prior to this influx of applications. 2 4
7 3
The City engaged Willdan Group to calculate the full cost of processing an MUP under current requirements. The proposed MUP fee will be reduced from $4,347 to $1,058. This reduction still ensures direct cost recovery, while balancing the needs of prospective applicants.

A notice of Public Hearing was completed in compliance with the Lancaster Municipal Code on August 1, 2026.

1 TO: Patti Garibay, Director of Community Development, City of Lancaster Nicole Jones, Beautification Manager, City of Lanc aster FROM: Michael Medve, Principal Consultant, Willdan
DATE: June 18, 2026
SUBJECT: Calculation of Full Cost for New Minor Use Permit Fee

In June of 2026, the City of Lancaster (the “City”) engaged Willdan to calculate the full cost of processing a Minor Use Permit (MUP) with the intention of establishing a new fee category.

Background
As part of a general cost recovery strategy, local governments adopt user fees to fund programs and services that provide limited or no direct benefit to the community as a whole.

Fees in California are required to conform to the s tatutory requirements of the California Constitution, Proposition 218, Proposition 26, and the California Code of Regulations. The Code also requires that the City Council adopt fees by either ordinance or resolution, and that any fees in excess of the estimated total cost of rendering the relate d services must be approved by a popular vote of two-thirds of those electors voting because the charge would be considered a tax and not a fee. There are no fees suggested to be set above the cost of service and as such a public vote is not required.

State regulations require that municipalities update their fee schedules to reflect the actual costs o f certain public services primarily benefiting users. User fees recover costs associated with the provision of specific services benefiting the user, thereby typically reducing the use of General Fund monies for such purposes.

In addition to collecting the direct cost of labor and materials associated with processing and administering user services, it is common for local governments to recover reasonable support costs.

Support costs are those costs relating to a local g overnment’s central service departments that are allocable to the local government’s operating departments. Central services were incorporated using the resulting indirect overhead percentages determined through the City’s cost allocation plan. This plan was developed prior to the calculation of the MUP fee. The City has provided Willdan with a list of Fully-Burdened Hourly Rates (FBHRs) to reflect these all-in cost estimates for labor.

As labor effort and costs associated with the provi sion of services fluctuate over time, a significant element in the development of any fee schedule is t hat it has the flexibility to remain current.

Therefore, it is recommended that the City include an inflationary factor in the resolution to adopt the fee schedule to allow the City to annually incr ease or decrease the fees by changes in a pre-

2 approved inflationary index, as described below. Ho wever, such inflationary increases shall not exceed the reasonable estimated cost of providing the services each year.

Minor Use Permit Full Costs Calculation
The methodology used for calculating the full cost of the MUP is the standard unit cost build-up approach. This approach estimates the actual labor and material costs associated with providing a unit of service to a single user. This analysis is suitable when City staff time requirements do not vary dramatically for a service.

After consulting with the City regarding the activi ties and hours involved with processing an MUP, the full cost calculation is presented below.

The full cost of processing an MUP is $1,058.09. Th e fee for this service may be set at a rate at or below the full cost. Willdan recommends setting the fee at the full cost of the service unless there are compelling reasons not to do so, such as to facilit ate compliance or recognize broader community benefits inherent in the service.

Willdan also recommends that the City perform a full Cost Allocation Plan and User Fee Study, which is generally recommended every five years. Since us er fees are a form of cost recovery, any amount not recovered through the collection of fees is effectively subsidized by taxpayers through the general fund. Given the importance of providing these servi ces without unduly burdening the City’s general fund, updating user fees is one of the most important actions a city can take to maintain fiscal balance and minimize taxpayer burden.

If you have any questions about this memorandum, pl ease feel free to contact Mike Medve at (951) 587-3575.

TN
Date:August 11, 2026
To: Mayor Parris and City Council Members
From:George N. Harris II, Deputy City Manager/Treasurer Subject:Substantial Amendment to the City’s 2026-2027 Annual Action Plan (AAP) Recommendation:
a. Conduct a public hearing and upon accepting public testimony; b.Approve the Substantial Amendment to the 2026-2027 Annual Action Plan (AAP) to allow for the repurposing of $896,419 in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds from the Sergeant Steve Owen Memorial Park Stanley Kleiner Building Re-Roof Improvement Project to the City-Wide Facilities Re-Roof and HVAC Improvement Project; and
c.Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to execute and transmit all necessary documents to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), including the Substantial Amendment to the AAP to ensure the City’s timely expenditure of HUD funds G.C. Section 84308: No
Fiscal Impact:

There will be no impact to the City’s General Fund. All proposed dollars impacted by the Substantial Amendment to the AAP have previously been awarded to the City and budgeted to activities in the previously adopted AAP.

The repurposing of the CDBG funds to the City-Wide Facilities Re-Roof and HVAC Improvement Project will ensure that the City’s program funds are utilized to improve the quality of life for the City’s residents by completing necessary roof and HVAC improvements at various facilities throughout the City, including but not limited to, the Sergeant Steve Owen Memorial Park Stanley Kleiner Building.

Background:

HUD requires all entitlement communities receiving CDBG funds, such as the City, to prepare and submit a Consolidated Plan every five (5) years to establish a unified, strategic vision for 2 4
8 1
economic development, housing and community development actions. The Consolidated Plan encompasses the analysis of local community needs and coordinates appropriate responses to those needs and priorities.

The Consolidated Plan is carried out through five (5) AAPs which provide a concise summary of the actions, activities, and the resources that will be used each year to address the priority needs and specific goals identified in the Consolidated Plan. The City must submit an AAP to HUD each year of the five-year Consolidated Plan period. The City Council adopted and submitted the AAP to HUD by the required deadline dates of each year.

After a thorough review of existing activities, proposed goals, and consultation with HUD representatives, the City identified the need to Substantially Amend its AAP by allocating funds to activities that will provide decent, safe and affordable housing, a suitable living environment, and expand on economic opportunities principally for persons of low- and moderate-income throughout the City.

Per the City’s Citizen Participation Plan (CPP), a Substantial Amendment to a Consolidated Plan and AAP is required when a “substantial” change is proposed as it relates to funding priorities, proposed activities, goals, and objectives. This substantial amendment to the AAP is necessary because the City is proposing to repurpose CDBG funds to one (1) new project in the 2026-27 AAP.

Pursuant to 24 CFR 91.505(a), a Substantial Amend requires specific citizen participation actions, including a Public Hearing and 30-day public review period, before the changes may be approved by the City Council and submitted to HUD. The Public Hearing Notice concerning the proposed Substantial Amendment to the AAP was published in the Antelope Valley Press on July 9, 2026.

The Substantial Amendment was made available on the City’s website, Finance & Technology Information Department and City Clerk’s Office for a 30-day public review period starting on July 10, 2026, and ending on August 11, 2026. The City will conduct a public hearing for the substantial amendment as part of the August 11, 2026, City Council meeting.

Staff recommend amending the AAP noted in the enclosed Substantial Amendment. The proposed project is consistent with the Consolidated Plan goals and will provide immediate assistance to the community.

Analysis:

The following narrative provides descriptions and other information for the proposed AAP activity.

New Activity
City-Wide Facilities Re-Roof and HVAC Improvement Project The project will provide much needed re-roof and HVAC improvements at various facilities throughout the City, including but not limited to the Sergeant Steve Owen Memorial Park Stanley Kleiner Building. To comply with CDBG regulations, each facility location included in this project will be reported separately within HUD’s Integrated Disbursement and Information System (IDIS) to ensure each location’s compliance with the national objective requirements of the CDBG program.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Background
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires all entitlement communities receiving Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds, such as the City of Lancaster (City), to prepare and submit a Consolidated Plan every five (5) years to establish a unified, strategic vision for economic development, housing and community development actions. The Consolidated Plan encompasses the analysis of local community needs and coordinates appropriate responses to those needs and priorities.

The Consolidated Plan is carried out through Annual Action Plans (AAPs) which provide a concise summary of the actions, activities, and the specific federal and non-federal resources that will be used each year to address the priority needs and specific goals identified in the Consolidated Plan.

Per the City’s Citizen Participation Plan (CPP), a Substantial Amendment to an Action Plan is required when a “substantial” change is proposed as it relates to funding priorities, proposed activities, goals, and objectives. This substantial amendment to the Action Plan is necessary because the City is proposing to repurpose $896,419 in CDBG funds from the Sergeant Steve Owen Memorial Park Stanley Kleiner Building Re-Roof Improvement Project to the City-Wide Facilities Re-Roof and HVAC Improvement Project which will include roof and HVAC improvements at various facilities throughout the City, including the Sergeant Steve Owen Memorial Park Stanley Kleiner Building.

Subject:Lancaster Sewer System Service Charges for Fiscal Year 2026/27 and Proposed Sewer Service Charge Increases
Recommendation:

Conduct the continued public hearings on:

1. The Fiscal Year 2026/27 Lancaster Sewer System Service Charges and Annual Engineer's Report filed pursuant to Health and Safety Code section 5473; and

2. The proposed increases to the maximum authorized Sewer Service Charges pursuant to Article XIII D of the California Constitution (Proposition 218).

Receive public testimony, close both public hearings, receive the report regarding the tabulation of written protests, and:
If no majority protest exists, adopt Resolution No. 26-___ approving the proposed maximum sewer service charge increases and directing their placement on the County tax roll.
If a majority protest exists, adopt Resolution No. 26-___ approving the Fiscal Year 2026/27 annual sewer service charges at the existing rate and directing their placement on the County tax roll.

G.C. Section 84308: No
Fiscal Impact:

The existing sewer service charge is $78.00 per Sewage Unit, generating approximately $4.54 million annually through the County tax roll. If approved, the Proposition 218 proceedings would establish a new maximum authorized sewer service charge schedule, with the Fiscal Year 2026/27 charge set at $164.70 per Sewage Unit. Future annual charges would continue to be adopted by the City Council through the annual levy process and may not exceed the voter- approved maximum without additional Proposition 218 proceedings. The proposed increase will 2 4
8 6
provide funding necessary to support the continued operation, maintenance, repair, rehabilitation, and replacement of the City's sewer collection system while reducing reliance on one-time funding sources and deferred maintenance.

Background:

The City of Lancaster assumed responsibility for operation and maintenance of the Lancaster Sewer Collection System on July 1, 2008, following withdrawal from the Consolidated Sewer Maintenance District and adoption of Chapter 13.09 of the Lancaster Municipal Code.

Each year, the City Council conducts a public hearing to establish the annual sewer service charge based upon the Engineer's Report prepared pursuant to Health and Safety Code section 5473.

In addition to the annual levy, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 26-25 on May 26, 2026, initiating Proposition 218 proceedings to consider increasing the maximum authorized sewer service charges.

All required mailed notices were provided to affected property owners on May 30, 2026, not less than 45 days before the public hearing, in accordance with Article XIII D of the California Constitution and Government Code section 53755.

On July 14, 2026, the City Council opened both public hearings, received public testimony, and continued the hearings to August 11, 2026, to allow completion of the required newspaper publication before the hearings could be concluded.

Since that time:
The required publication has been completed.
Written protests continued to be accepted throughout the continuation period. The protest tabulation will be completed in accordance with Proposition 218 requirements and presented to the City Council at the continued hearing. The Engineer's Report remains on file with the City Clerk and available for public inspection.

At this continued hearing, the City Council will receive the final protest tabulation and determine whether a majority protest exists.

If a majority protest is not found, the Council may approve the proposed maximum sewer service charge schedule and establish the Fiscal Year 2026/27 annual sewer service charge.

If a majority protest is found, the proposed increase may not be imposed, and staff recommends adoption of the annual sewer service charge at the existing approved rate for Fiscal Year 2026/27.

Lancaster Sewer Service Charge
City of Lancaster
Fiscal Year 2026-27

1 INTRODUCTION
Purpose
Pursuant to the provisions Article 4, Chapter 6, Part 3, Division 5 of the Health and Safety Code (the “Sanitation and Sewerage Systems Code”), and in compliance with the substantive and procedural requirements of the California State Constitution Article XIII D (the “California Constitution”) the City Council of the City of Lancaster (the “City”), has ordered the preparation and filing of an annual Engineer’s Report (“Report”) for the determination of the Fiscal Year 2026-27 Sewer Service Charge (“Sewer Charge”) and the Levy and Collection of the Charges for the Lancaster Sanitary Sewer Collection System (the “District”).

The word “parcel”, for purposes of this Report, refers to an individual property assigned its own Assessor’s Parcel Number (“APN”) by the Los Angeles County Assessor’s Office. The Los Angeles County Auditor/Controller uses APN and specific fund numbers to identify properties to be assessed on the tax roll for sewer charges.

This Report consists of four sections and identifies the following items:
 Plans and Specifications. The location of the District and the specific improvements to be maintained.
 Cost Estimate. The District costs and proposed charges to be levied for 2026-27.  Method of Apportionment. How the District costs are allocated and apportioned to the chargeable parcels based upon the benefit received.
 District Diagram. Diagram of the District showing the external boundaries of the District This report is being prepared to determine the Sewer Service Charge for Fiscal Year 2026-27 for properties within the boundaries of City of Lancaster (City) that are receiving sewer service in accordance with Ordinance No. 876 and Ordinance No. 913. Ordinance No. 876 and Resolution No. 07-124 require Staff to submit an Engineer’s Report each year determining the actual amount of sewer service charges to be levied, and to submit such report to City Council for approval. By State Law, the local jurisdiction may, after notice and public hearing, adopt a resolution determining and proposing for adopting an annual charge to be levied and collected on each benefiting parcel within the City.

Overview
On April 2, 1979, the City, by Resolution No. 79-18, authorized inclusion of certain territories then and thereafter to the Consolidated Sewer Maintenance District of Los Angeles County (“CSMD”) for the maintaining of local sewers pursuant to State Law. In May 2006, the State of California mandated all owners and operators of sewer systems to comply with new Waste Discharge Requirements (“WDR’s”).

The WDR’s required duplication of effort by owners and operators of a system, if they are not the same entity. Because the City of Lancaster owns the local sewer system and CSMD maintains the local sewer system for the City, a “Sewer Feasibility Study” (“Study”) was prepared to recommend an appropriate course of action to properly serve the citizens of the City.

Lancaster Sewer Service Charge
City of Lancaster
Fiscal Year 2026-27

2 On December 12, 2006, the Study was presented to the City Council with a recommendation to withdraw from the CSMD. The City Council agreed with the recommendation and adopted Resolution No. 06-245, requesting withdrawal from the CSMD and authorizing staff to immediately commence withdrawal proceedings from the CSMD and prepare for providing direct operation and maintenance of the City sewer system, effective July 1, 2008.

The City established a Sewer Service Charge (“SSC”) by Ordinance No. 876. Adoption of Resolution No. 07-89 fixed the time and place for a public hearing. In accordance with Proposition 218, notices were mailed to the affected property owners. The public hearing was held on June 26, 2007; since there was no majority protest, the City Council, by adoption of Resolution No. 07-124, levied an operations charge and a replacement charge for Fiscal Year 2007-08. The SSC is based on multiplying the number of sewage units with the rate established by City Council. A single-family residence is the basic unit and is considered 1 sewage unit.

On January 13, 2009, City Council approved Ordinance No. 913 to comply with the intent of Article XIII D of the California Constitution, which provides that governmental entities benefiting from any service shall pay their proportional share of the cost of such service.

The City established the Utility Services Division (“USD”) of the Development Services Department in January 2008. On July 1, 2008, the USD assumed operation, maintenance, and servicing of the Lancaster Sanitary Sewer Collection System (“LSSCS”), consisting of approximately 429 miles of various-sized sewer lines and 8,965 manholes. Each year, additional sewer improvements may be constructed either by private development, through the City’s Capital Improvement Program or additional properties may connect to the existing sewer lines.

Sewer Service Charges are collected from the benefiting properties on tax rolls or as alternatively provided for in Ordinance No. 913. SSC’s are used for the operation, maintenance, and servicing once the sewer improvements are either constructed by the developer or the project is accepted by City Council for maintenance.

An alternate manner of collecting sewer service charges shall be by direct billing. An invoice shall be prepared for each premise (or if multiple premises are under a single ownership, a single invoice detailing the multiple premises) and mailed to the owner. The City shall prepare and mail invoices by September 15th of the then current year. Upon mailing of the invoice by the City, the provisions of Chapter 13.09.080, sections H through J, of the Lancaster Municipal Code shall apply, including but not limited to: due dates, delinquency of payment, and penalties and liens.

In general, the City is required by law to:
a) Set sewer service charges that meet the on-going operating expenditures of the sewer enterprise; b) Provide for the timely replacement and rehabilitation of existing infrastructure; and c) If applicable, meet all debt covenants.

The revenue derived from the assessment shall not be used to pay the cost of any service other than the service for which the charge was levied. Service, as defined, includes the cost of maintaining any facility used to provide sewer service. The amount of the charge 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.

3 Still Meadow Lane Assessments: Homeowners along a private street in incorporated Lancaster known as Still Meadow Lane petitioned the City of Lancaster to construct a sewer system to enable those citizens to convert their sanitary waste system from private septic to public sewer. The City financed the project and the owners repay the costs over several years through special assessments. The sewer improvements were annexed into the Lancaster Sewer District and the property owners were assessed a separate charge for repayment of the City funded sewer improvements in addition to annual sewer service. The last levy to reimburse the City was FY 2023-24. The Still Meadow Lane property owners are now only assessed for annual sewer services.

4 IMPACTS OF PROPOSITION 218
On November 5, 1996 California voters approved Proposition 218 entitled "Right to Vote on Taxes Act" which added Article XIIID to the California Constitution. While its title refers only to taxes, Proposition 218 establishes new procedural requirements for the formation and administration of assessment districts.

Proposition 218 also requires that with certain specified exceptions, which are described below, all existing assessment districts must be ratified by the property owners within the District using the new procedures.

Some of these exceptions include:
1) Any assessment imposed exclusively to finance the capital cost or maintenance and operation expenses for streets.
2) Any assessments levied pursuant to a petition signed by the persons owning all of the parcels subject to the assessment at the time the assessment was initially imposed.

However, even if assessments are initially exempt from Proposition 218, if the assessments are increased in the future, the City will need to comply with the provisions of Proposition 218 for that portion of the increased assessment unless the increase in assessment was anticipated in the assessment formula (e.g., CPI increase).

It was also determined that if assessments were imposed as a condition of development and property owners agreed to the imposition of assessments and subsequently signed a development agreement confirming so, then this would suffice for the requirement of signing a petition.

The more difficult question arose in those situations where the levy of assessments was imposed as a condition of approval for land development or subdivision where the property owner did not enter into a development agreement. In those cases, if the sewer facilities, landscape, park, or street light facilities and the resulting assessment were a condition of the land development or subdivisions approval and the property owner acquiesces to the levy of assessment, it is reasoned that this was a functional equivalent of giving express consent or signing a petition requesting the imposition of the assessment. Even the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers' Association seems to tacitly support this conclusion in its "Statement of Drafters' Intent". When discussing the exemption for existing assessments imposed pursuant to a petition, the taxpayers' association said:
"This provision exempts most land secured financing arrangements used by developers." Clearly acceptance of a condition of approval of a development or subdivision which requires that imposition of assessments is a common form of land secured financing used by developers to fund sewer facilities, street lighting or landscape maintenance.

7 PART I – PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS
Plans and Specifications
The facilities, which have been constructed within the boundaries of the City of Lancaster, and those which may be subsequently constructed, will be operated, serviced and maintained as generally described as follows:

Various diameter sanitary sewer mainlines, sanitary sewer manholes, a sewer lift station, and the associated force main, except those improvements owned, maintained, and operated by the Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County (“SDLAC”), or any privately owned and maintained sewer systems.

The City’s sewer collection system consists of approximately 429 miles of gravity sewer lines, one pump station with associated force main and approximately 8,965 manholes. Most of the collection system has been built in the last 20 years as the City has seen substantial growth in population during that time.

According to the City’s Sanitary Sewer Management Plan, approximately 23% of the City sewer system was constructed between 1940 and 1959, making that portion over 50 years old. The average age of the system is about 30 years.

The sewer system is currently operated and maintained by the City’s Utility Services Division. In addition to responding to citizens’ complaints, the Utility Services Division performs sewer inspection, minor renewal and replacement, responds to sanitary sewer overflows, and removes clogs from sewer lines.

Wastewater is collected and conveyed to trunk sewers and to the Lancaster Water Reclamation Plant which are owned and operated by SDLAC.

The improvements will be cleaned, cleared of fats, oils, grease, insects and roots, and repaired, improved, or replaced on a systematic preventative maintenance schedule and on an as-needed basis by City staff or contracted labor.

Plans and Specifications for the improvements for the District are voluminous and are not bound in this report but by this reference are incorporated and made a part of this report. The Plans and Specifications are on file in the office of the City Clerk and the City Engineer where they are available for public inspection.

10 PART III – METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT
General
The method of apportionment described in this Report, and confirmed by the City Council at the time the District was formed, utilizes commonly accepted engineering practices which have been established pursuant to the Sanitation and Sewerage Systems Code and the California Constitution for the allocation of parcel charges. The calculation of charges is based upon the parcel type and the services and improvements provided to equitably apportion the costs based on the special benefit received by each lot or parcel. The special benefit received by each lot or parcel is over and above any general benefit conferred upon said lots or parcels or to the public at large.

Special Benefit
The improvements and associated costs have been allocated to the charged properties within the District based upon the special benefit received by those properties. The improvements for which the properties are charged have been identified as necessary, were installed and are being maintained as part of the development plans specifically for each tract. As such, the improvements and continuing maintenance and servicing of those improvements are strictly the obligation of the properties within the District.

General Benefit
The improvements were installed as a requirement of the development of the tract and are for the sole benefit of properties within the District. It has been determined therefore, any access or use by properties or individuals outside the District is completely incidental and the costs of operating, maintaining and servicing said improvements therefore provides no measurable benefit to those outside properties or individuals.

Definition of Special Benefit
The method of apportionment described in this Report is based on the premise that each chargeable lot or parcel receives distinct and special benefits from the improvements and services provided, specifically, collection and conveyance of each parcel’s wastewater to the Lancaster Water Reclamation Plant for treatment. In accordance with Article XIII D, Section 4 of the California Constitution:
“Special benefit means a particular and distinct benefit over and above general benefits conferred on real property located in the District or the public at large”

Engineer’s Report
Lancaster Sewer Service Charge
City of Lancaster
Fiscal Year 2026-27

11 Basis of Special Benefit Proportioning
Sewer units are assigned benefit based on the land use code designated for the parcel as assigned by the Los Angeles County Assessor and as defined in Ordinance No. 876 and as amended by Ordinance No. 913.

Current Sewer Classification and Rates
Sewer units are assigned based on the land use code designated for the parcel as assigned by the Los Angeles County Assessor. Because the City’s Utility Services Division does not treat wastewater, the sewage units are based solely on flow from the parcel, and not on the strength of the discharge.

In 2007, the City Council approved a maximum sewer service rate for Fiscal Year 2009-10 of $78.00 per sewer unit. Until Council approves an annual rate increase, the rate shall be $78.00 per sewer unit each fiscal year beyond Fiscal Year 2009-10. Table “A” of Ordinance 876 and as amended by Ordinance 913, as provided in Appendix A, shows the sewer unit classifications currently in use by the City for each land use.

The current rate for a given customer class can be found by multiplying the sewer service rate of $78.00 by the number of sewage units for the customer class/land use in question. For example, a single family residence will pay $78.00 for the year. A commercial establishment that has 4 sewage units will pay $312.00 (4 x $78) and a hotel with 40 sewer units will pay $3,120.00. Vacant parcels on an improved street with a sewer line where the City has accepted the improved streets are charged ½ sewer unit.

Proposed Sewer Rates for FY 2026-27
The proposed sewer service rate for Fiscal Year 2026-27 is the maximum amount set in 2007 by the City Council of $78.00 per sewer unit.

The proposed rate will provide necessary revenue to pay for the estimated expenses and increase the reserve and replacement funds.

12 PART V – DISTRICT DIAGRAM
The boundaries of the District are coterminous with the boundaries of the City of Lancaster. The lines and dimensions of each lot or parcel within the District are those lines and dimensions as shown on the maps of the Los Angeles County Assessor for the year in which this Report was prepared and are incorporated by reference herein and made part of this Report. The full-scale District Diagram is filed under separate cover with the City Clerk. A reduced copy thereof is filed herewith and made a part hereof in Appendix B.

13 SEWER CHARGE ROLL
Sewer Charge Roll is attached as Appendix C to this Report. Parcel Identification for each lot or parcel within the District shall be based on available parcel maps and other property data from the Los Angeles County Assessor’s office as they existed at the date this Report was prepared and adopted by the City Council.

Attached as Appendix C is a list of the new parcels to be charged as of the date this report was prepared.

This list includes newly developed parcels or capital improvement program projects accepted for sewer service connection during the past year. This list also includes newly charged parcels, identified in recent audits of the City sewer system, that have been receiving sewer service benefit and have not been charged in past years. The complete list of all District parcels submitted for placement on the tax roll is voluminous and is on file with the City Clerk.

If any parcel submitted for collection is identified by the County Auditor/Controller to be an invalid parcel number for the current fiscal year, a corrected parcel number and/or new parcel numbers will be identified and resubmitted to the County Auditor/Controller. The sewer charge amount to be levied and collected for the resubmitted parcel(s) shall be based on the method of apportionment and sewer charge rate approved in this Report. Therefore, if a single parcel has changed to multiple parcels, the charge applied to each of the new parcels shall be recalculated and applied according to the approved method of apportionment and sewer charge rate rather than a proportionate share of the original sewer charge.

Any parcels, identified prior to the date of submission to the County Assessor’s Office, will be added to the submission list for inclusion on the tax roll or billed per the alternate method specific in City of Lancaster Ordinance No. 876 and Ordinance No. 913.

•
•

6 •

13.09.100 Adjustments.

A. It is the intent of the provisions of this chapter, in establishing different sewer service charges for different categories of properties, to reflect the benefit from such service to each property. If, in respect to any customer, the Council should find that the charge is inequitable, or unfair because of unusual circumstances, it may establish a special service charge for such customer, differing from those otherwise established which will bear a closer relationship to the benefit received from the City system. Such special charge may be revoked at any time by the Council whenever it finds that continuation thereof would be inequitable or unfair under the circumstances then prevailing.

B. The owner of any premises who by reason of special circumstances finds that the applicable rates are unjust or inequitable as applied to his or her premises may make written application to the Director of Public Works, stating the circumstances and requesting a different basis of charges for such premises. If such application is approved, the Council may fix and establish fair and equitable rates for such premises to be effective as of the date of such application and continuing during the period of such special circumstances.

13.09.110 Refunds.

When any refund becomes due and owing by virtue of action of the City Councilor by virtue of any error made in ascertaining the charge applicable to any customer, the Director of Public Works is authorized to make payable such moneys from the specific fund established for the deposit of sewer service charges.

Subject: Lancaster Lighting Maintenance District Annual Assessment for Fiscal Year 2026/27
Recommendation:

Adopt Resolution No. 26- , confirming the diagram and assessments, and ordering the levy of an assessment in the Lancaster Lighting Maintenance District for Fiscal Year 2026-2027.

G.C. Section 84308: No
Fiscal Impact:

Each benefit unit will be assessed $135.05, which includes a 2.93% CPI adjustment ($45.00 in zones that voted "no" during the 2003 election). An estimated total of $6,956,335 will be assessed against the benefiting properties, which will be used for maintenance expenses.

Background:

On March 11, 2003, the City Council directed that an election be held asking the property owners within the LLMD to approve an increase in the annual street lighting assessment to $70 per lighting unit, including a Consumer Price Index (CPI) based inflator. LLMD was formed, including subsequent annexations thereto, for the purpose of financing maintenance operations and installation of public lighting facilities, including, but not limited to street lights, public parking lot lights, and highway safety lights (public lighting facilities) (as defined in Cal. Sts. & Hy. Code § 22525) within the City of Lancaster, and assessing those properties which benefit from this service their proportionate share of the cost. Each year, the City Council must, by law, order the preparation of an Engineer’s Report describing the existing and proposed maintenance services, and conduct a public hearing to establish and order the amount of assessment for the next fiscal year.
2 4
8 3
Funds collected through the Lighting Maintenance District are used to operate, maintain, and repair streetlights throughout the District.

Assessment Rates for Fiscal Year 2026/27
Standard Assessment
oThe approved CPI adjustment for FY 2026/27 is 2.93%.
oThe annual assessment increases from $131.22 to $135.05 per lighting unit. Zones That Voted “No”
oParcels located within zones that voted “No” during the original district formation are not subject to CPI adjustments.
oThese parcels will continue to be assessed $45.00 per lighting unit.

Streetlight Ownership
In 2017, the City purchased approximately 18,000 streetlights from Southern California Edison. The purchase was financed through bonds. Annual Lighting Maintenance District assessments help fund the operation and maintenance of the streetlights and repay the bonds until they are fully retired.

On July 14, 2026, after hearing all protests to the lighting charges, the City Council continued the public hearing to August 11, 2026 at 1:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers, City of Lancaster.

1 INTRODUCTION
Purpose
Pursuant to the provisions of the Benefit Assessment Act of 1982, being Chapter 6.4, Part 1, Division 2 of the Government Code (the “1982 Act”), and in compliance with the substantive and procedural requirements of the California State Constitution Article XIII D (the “California Constitution”), the City Council of the City of Lancaster (the “City”) adopted a Resolution Initiating Proceedings for the Levy and Collection of Annual Assessments within the Lancaster Drainage Benefit Assessment District (the “District”) for Fiscal Year 2026-2027. Said Resolution called for the preparation and filing of an annual report (“Report”) pursuant 1982 Act, presenting plans and specifications describing the general nature, location and extent of the improvements to be maintained, an estimate of the costs to maintain said improvements within the District, a Diagram of the boundaries of the District and the Assessment Roll.

The word “parcel”, for purposes of this Report, refers to an individual property assigned its own Assessor’s Parcel Number (“APN”) by the Los Angeles County Assessor’s Office. The Los Angeles County Auditor/Controller uses APN and specific fund numbers to identify parcels to be assessed on the tax roll for special benefit assessments.

This Report consists of five sections and identifies the following items:
• Plans and Specifications. The location of the District and the specific improvements to be maintained.
• Cost Estimate. The District costs and proposed assessments to be levied for 2026-2027 • Method of Apportionment. How the District costs are allocated and apportioned to the assessable parcels based upon the benefit received.
• Assessment Diagram. A Diagram showing the District boundaries. • Assessment Roll. A listing of parcels to be assessed by APN and corresponding assessment amounts.

Overview
The City Council previously formed the Lancaster Drainage Benefit Assessment District with the goal of protecting properties from flooding through the continued maintenance, operation, and servicing of the drainage improvements within the District. Subsequent to the original formation, each parcel currently assessed has been annexed into the District. Upon annexation, the first year's assessment is paid by the developer of the parcels that were annexed.

Ordinance No. 739 Compliance
In compliance with Ordinance No. 739, all parcels used exclusively for religious or charitable purposes have been exempted from the payment of Lancaster Drainage Benefit Assessment District assessments.

2 IMPACTS OF PROPOSITION 218
On November 5, 1996 California voters approved Proposition 218 entitled "Right to Vote on Taxes Act" which added Article XIIID to the California Constitution. While its title refers only to taxes, Proposition 218 establishes new procedural requirements for the formation and administration of assessment districts.

Proposition 218 also requires that with certain specified exceptions, which are described below, all existing assessment districts must be ratified by the property owners within the District using the new procedures.

Some of these exceptions include:
1) Any assessment imposed exclusively to finance the capital cost or maintenance and operation expenses for streets.
2) Any assessments levied pursuant to a petition signed by the persons owning all of the parcels subject to the assessment at the time the assessment was initially imposed.

However, even if assessments are initially exempt from Proposition 218, if the assessments are increased in the future, the City will need to comply with the provisions of Proposition 218 for that portion of the increased assessment unless the increase in assessment was anticipated in the assessment formula (e.g., CPI increase).

Following the passage of Proposition 218, based on conversations with other public agency officials, attorneys, assessment engineers and Senate Bill 919, the City determined that if assessments were imposed as a condition of development and property owners agreed to the imposition of assessments and subsequently signed a development agreement confirming so, then this would suffice for the requirement of signing a petition.

The more difficult question arose in those situations where the levy of assessments was imposed as a condition of approval for land development or subdivision where the property owner did not enter into a development agreement. In those cases, if the improvements and the resulting assessment were a condition of the land development or subdivisions approval and the property owner acquiesces to the levy of assessment, it is reasoned that this was a functional equivalent of giving express consent or signing a petition requesting the imposition of the assessment. Even the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers' Association seems to tacitly support this conclusion in its "Statement of Drafters' Intent". When discussing the exemption for existing assessments imposed pursuant to a petition, the taxpayers' association said:
"This provision exempts most land secured financing arrangements used by developers." Clearly acceptance of a condition of approval of a development or subdivision which requires that imposition of assessments is a common form of land secured financing used by developers.

8 PART III – METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT
General
The method of apportionment described in this Report, and confirmed by the City Council at the time the District was formed, utilizes commonly accepted engineering practices which have been established pursuant to the 1982 Act and the California Constitution for the allocation of special benefit assessments.

The calculation of assessments is based upon the parcel type and the services and improvements provided to equitably apportion the costs based on the special benefit received by each parcel. The special benefit received by each parcel is over and above any general benefit conferred upon said parcels or to the public at large.

The Law requires that the annual aggregate amount of the assessment shall not exceed the estimated annual cost of providing the service. Also, 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.

District assessments are collected for the operation and maintenance of drainage improvements benefiting the parcels being assessed. Where improvements also serve parcels not being assessed, operation and maintenance costs are paid on a prorate basis. As stated above, any drainage improvements or services that are currently provided to parcels outside the District cannot be funded with assessment revenue. As a result, the City funds those improvements and services with sources other than the assessments.

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.

Special Benefit
The improvements and associated costs have been allocated to the assessable lots or parcels within the District based upon the special benefit received by those parcels. The improvements for which the parcels are assessed have been identified as necessary, were installed and are being maintained as part of the development plans specifically for each parcel. As such, the improvements and continuing maintenance and servicing of those improvements are strictly the obligation of the parcels within the District.

General Benefit
Although the improvements may provide some incidental drainage control for non-assessed parcels or parcels outside the District, the improvements were designed and installed as a requirement of the development of each annexed parcel and function for the sole benefit of the annexed parcels within the District. It has been determined therefore, the costs of operating, maintaining and servicing said improvements therefore provides no measurable benefit to those non-assessed parcels or parcels outside the District.

Annual Levy Report
Lancaster Drainage Benefit Assessment District
City of Lancaster
Fiscal Year 2026-27

9 Definition of Special Benefit
The method of apportionment described in this Report is based on the premise that each assessable parcel receives distinct and special benefit from the improvements and services provided, including the operation and maintenance of the drainage facilities in the District. In accordance with Article XIII D, Section 4 of the California Constitution:

Special benefit means a particular and distinct benefit over and above general benefits conferred on real
property located in the District or the public at large.

Basis of Special Benefit Proportioning
The special benefit to parcels in the District is derived from the reduction of storm and nuisance waters in, through and around the parcels in the District. The drainage facilities installed by developers for a given project are specifically for the benefit of the parcels in the project. These facilities collect storm and nuisance waters and control the discharge to the street or other drainage facilities.

Collecting and controlling the discharge helps reduce the otherwise hazardous driving conditions, and public nuisance associated with flooding. The cleaning, maintaining, servicing or improving of the facilities whether they are catch basins or other inlets or outlets, pipes, boxes, gutters, channels, pumps or retention/detention basins, provide an ongoing special benefit to the parcels in the area by allowing the facilities to be able to function as intended and to protect public and private parcels from flood damage.

All parcels which have developed in some form will create runoff from their parcels in some amount (run- off factor), such as when a parcel is graded or street improvements or other pavement is installed, and are therefore required to be annexed into the District.

The runoff that collects in the streets is directed to the catch basins, storm drains, channels and basins, carries with it debris, dirt, leaves, etc., which clog or fill the drainage facilities causing them to function at a reduced level, or not at all. When functioning at a reduced level, the driving hazards, public nuisance, and localized flooding damage mentioned above may occur.

Along with the cost of maintenance, the cost of improvements made in the District, such as installation of pumps, fences or walls, storm drains or replacement of facilities, are included in the assessment of the parcels in the District.

All parcels within the District benefit from the services provided. The assessment imposed is proportionate to the benefit derived.

Within the District, the parcels vary in zoning and development from single family to multi-family, commercial and industrial developments. Each type of development has a different run-off factor.

It is proposed to levy the assessment on the basis of proportionate storm water run-off from each parcel.

The basic assessment unit is the run-off from the average single family residential parcel.

Annual Levy Report
Lancaster Drainage Benefit Assessment District
City of Lancaster
Fiscal Year 2026-27

10 The average single family residential parcel is assigned one drainage unit. All other parcel use types have a calculated equivalent drainage unit (EDU) which is a factor of the amount of run-off from that parcel type compared to the average residential parcel. The non-single family residential EDU is expressed as a factor per acre.

Run-Off Factor
The calculation to determine the EDU is made up of several components. The first component is the run- off factor of that parcel’s use type. The run-off factor is the percentage of rain falling on a parcel that is expected to run off the parcel rather than be absorbed in the ground. It is expressed as a decimal. Land used for landscaping or agriculture have low run-off factors because most of the water soaks in rather than leaving the parcel in run-off. Land which has been improved by adding roofs and paving has a higher run-off factor.

The run-off factor of an average single family residential parcel is considered to be 0.23 meaning that 23% of the rain that falls on the parcel is expected to leave the parcel in run-off. Other types of parcel use have a higher expected run-off, for example a commercial development has a .70 run-off factor. Assumed run-off factors for parcel use types within the District are listed in Table 1.

Run-Off Magnitude
The next component is the magnitude of the parcel’s run-off compared to the single family use. This is determined by dividing the run-off factor of the other parcel use by the run-off factor of the single family use. The run-off magnitude component will vary depending on the type of parcel use.

Per Acre Equivalent
The next component in the EDU calculation is the per acre equivalent. The average single family parcel has an area of 9,600 square feet (0.22 acres). All other parcel use type EDUs are calculated using acres.

To calculate the per acre equivalent, divide one acre by the average single family parcel size in acres (1/0.22=4.55). In other words, one acre can contain 4.55 average sized single family residential parcels.

EDU Determination
Finally, to calculate the EDU for any parcel use other than single family residential, multiply the above determined Run-Off Magnitude by the Per Acre Equivalent. These calculations are shown in Table 1.

Annual Levy Report
Lancaster Drainage Benefit Assessment District
City of Lancaster
Fiscal Year 2026-27

11 TABLE 1

NOTE: The area used in the calculations is the gross area, less any area in the street right-of-way or drainage easement. There may be development that due to the layout fit into one zoning category better than another and such EDUs will be determined by the Capital Program Manager.

Vacant developed residential, commercial and industrial property, based on the zoning, is considered 1 EDU for assessment purposes. Vacant developed means there are no onsite improvements; however, there are public improvements (such as streets) which have been accepted by the City. Once on-site development occurs, the property will be assessed at the rate for developed commercial or industrial property based on 13.8 EDU per acre.

Annual Assessment
The assessment for each assessable parcel is calculated as the product of the parcel’s total EDUs and the current year assessment rate per EDU.

Annual Assessment = Assessment Rate per EDU x Parcel’s Total EDUs

Assessment Rate and Consumer Price Index Adjustment
Parcels annexed prior to Fiscal Year 2005-06 are assessed $50 per EDU. Parcels which were annexed beginning in Fiscal Year 2005-06 through April 1st of this current fiscal year will be assessed $92.53 per EDU for Fiscal Year 2026-27.

The assessment rate for parcels annexed beginning in Fiscal Year 2005-06 through April 1st of the current Fiscal Year includes a cost of living adjustment factor for increasing assessments each fiscal year, to offset increases in costs due to inflation, by the cumulative percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers for (“CPI-U”) for the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim California Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area (“Index”) published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States Department of Labor. The annual CPI-U adjustment will be based on the cumulative increase, if any, in the Index as it stands in February of each year over the base Index year of 2005.

14 PART V – ASSESSMENT ROLL

The list of new parcels to be assessed in Fiscal Year 2026-2027 is located in Appendix A. The list of the remainder of the parcels in the District and their assessment amounts in Fiscal Year 2026-2027 is too voluminous to include with this Report but is incorporated herein by reference and is available for inspection in the office of the City Clerk.

Parcel Identification for each parcel within the District shall be based on available parcel maps and other property data from the Los Angeles County Assessor’s office as they existed at the time this Report was prepared and adopted by the City Council.

If any parcel submitted for collection is identified by the County Auditor/Controller to be an invalid parcel number for the current fiscal year, a corrected parcel number and/or new parcel numbers will be identified and resubmitted to the County Auditor/Controller. The assessment amount to be levied and collected for the resubmitted parcel(s) shall be based on the method of apportionment and assessment rate approved in this Report. Therefore, if a single parcel has changed to multiple parcels, the assessment amounts applied to each of the new parcels shall be recalculated and applied according to the approved method of apportionment and assessment rate rather than a proportionate share of the original assessment.

Non-assessable lots or parcels include areas of public streets and other roadways (typically not assigned an APN by the County); dedicated public easements, open space areas and rights-of-way, including public greenbelts and parkways; utility rights-of-way; common areas; small parcels vacated by the County, bifurcated lots and any other property that cannot be developed or has specific development restrictions.

These types of parcels are considered to receive little or no benefit from the improvements and are therefore, exempted from assessment. Additionally, all parcels used exclusively for religious or charitable purposes have been exempted from the assessment of Drainage Maintenance Assessments.

1 INTRODUCTION
Purpose
Pursuant to the provisions of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, being Part 2 of Division 15 of the Streets and Highways Code, commencing with Section 22500 (the “1972 Act”), and in compliance with the substantive and procedural requirements of the California State Constitution Article XIII D (the “California Constitution”) the City Council of the City of Lancaster (the “City”), adopted a Resolution Initiating Proceedings for the Levy and Collection of Annual Assessments within Landscape Maintenance District No. 1 and Fox Field Industrial Corridor Landscape Maintenance District (the “District”) for Fiscal Year 2026-

27. Said Resolution called for the preparation and filing of an annual report (“Report”) pursuant to Chapter 1, Article 4 of the 1972 Act, beginning with section 22565, presenting plans and specifications describing the general nature, location and extent of the improvements to be maintained and an estimate of the costs to maintain said improvements within the District.

The word “parcel”, for purposes of this Report, refers to an individual property assigned its own Assessor’s Parcel Number (“APN”) by the Los Angeles County Assessor’s Office. The Los Angeles County Auditor/Controller uses APN and specific fund numbers to identify properties to be assessed on the tax roll for special benefit assessments.

This Report consists of five sections and identifies the following items:
• Plans and Specifications. The location of the District and the specific improvements to be maintained.
• Estimate of Costs. The District costs and proposed assessments to be levied for 2026-27. • Method of Apportionment. How the District costs are allocated and apportioned to the assessable parcels based upon the benefit received.
• District Diagram. A Diagram showing the District boundaries. • Assessment Roll. A listing of properties to be assessed by APN and corresponding assessment amounts.

Overview
The City Council of the City of Lancaster approved the formation of Lancaster Landscape Maintenance District No. 1 in June 1983, for the purpose of providing funds for the provision of landscape maintenance services for landscape improvements within the Improvement Areas of the District, in accordance with State Law. Since its formation in June 1983, territory has been annexed into the District each year, increasing the improvement areas and the size of the district.

Each lot or parcel within the District that was annexed prior to Fiscal Year 2005-06 will be assessed a unit assessment of $80.00 for Fiscal Year 2026-27. Properties annexed beginning Fiscal Year 2005-06 will be assessed at $148.04 per unit, which includes the established February CPI adjustment of 2.93% and will be subject to future annual CPI adjustments.

3 IMPACTS OF PROPOSITION 218
On November 5, 1996 California voters approved Proposition 218 entitled "Right to Vote on Taxes Act" which added Article XIIID to the California Constitution. While its title refers only to taxes, Proposition 218 establishes new procedural requirements for the formation and administration of assessment districts.

Proposition 218 also requires that with certain specified exceptions, which are described below, all existing assessment districts must be ratified by the property owners within the district using the new procedures.

Some of these exceptions include:
1) Any assessment imposed exclusively to finance the capital cost or maintenance and operation expenses for streets.
2) Any assessments levied pursuant to a petition signed by the persons owning all of the parcels subject to the assessment at the time the assessment was initially imposed.

However, even if assessments are initially exempt from Proposition 218, if the assessments are increased in the future, the City will need to comply with the provisions of Proposition 218 for that portion of the increased assessment, unless the increase in assessment was anticipated in the assessment formula (e.g., CPI increase).

Proposition 218 does not define this term “streets”, however, following the passage of Proposition 218 based on conversations with other public agency officials, attorneys, assessment engineers and Senate Bill 919, it has been determined that “streets” include all public improvements located within the street right-of-way. This would include median and parkway landscaping, safety lighting and street lighting.

It was also determined that if assessments were imposed as a condition of development and property owners agreed to the imposition of assessments and subsequently signed a development agreement confirming so, this would suffice for the requirement of signing a petition to annex into the District.

The more difficult question arose in those situations where the levy of assessments was imposed as a condition of approval for land development or subdivision where the property owner did not enter into a development agreement. In those cases, if the landscape or park facilities and the resulting assessment were a condition of the land development or subdivision approval and the property owner acquiesces to the levy of assessment, it is reasoned that this was a functional equivalent of giving express consent or signing a petition requesting the imposition of the assessment. Even the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers' Association seems to tacitly support this conclusion in its "Statement of Drafters' Intent". When discussing the exemption for existing assessments imposed pursuant to a petition, the taxpayers' association said:
"This provision exempts most land secured financing arrangements used by developers." Clearly acceptance of a condition of approval of a development or subdivision which requires that imposition of assessments is a common form of land secured financing used by developers to fund landscape maintenance.

7 PART II – COST ESTIMATE
Landscape Maintenance District No. 1 Cost Estimate
There were 18,610 parcels being assessed prior to the effective date of Proposition 218, which was July 1, 1997. These assessments, imposed pursuant to petitions signed by the owners of the properties, are exempted from the requirements of Proposition 218. Those 18,610 parcels will be assessed a unit assessment of $80.00 for Fiscal Year 2026-27. The unit assessment rate of $80.00 has not been increased, as there is no provision for an annual escalator for those parcels existing at the time Proposition 218 was adopted.

There are an estimated 3,451 additional parcels that have been annexed into the District since the effective date of Proposition 218. All of these parcels receive a Special Benefit from the improvements and services provided and will be assessed in accordance with the requirements of Proposition 218.

The District costs for maintenance and incidentals for Fiscal Year 2026-27 include legal advertising, tree and plant material, horticultural service, landscape maintenance, grounds maintenance, soil and weed control, graffiti abatement, electricity, water, transfer/city administration costs which includes salaries, benefits, equipment, and overhead. The total estimated operating cost to the District for Fiscal Year 2026- 27 is $3,775,143 and is proposed to be paid from the monies in the Landscape Maintenance District Fund.

The operating costs for the Fox Field Industrial Corridor are included in the overall District budget shown on the following page. Budgeted expenses are estimated through June 30, 2027.

9 Fox Field Industrial Corridor Landscape Maintenance District Cost Estimate The total cost shall be assessed proportionally to each individual parcel based upon the benefit received.

As a condition of development within the Fox Field Industrial Corridor, the developers are required to provide street trees and parkway landscaping along Avenue G in accordance with the requirements of the Fox Field Industrial Corridor Specific Plan. The District provides for the maintenance and servicing of the landscape improvements and all incidentals thereto. All parcels receive direct and special benefit from the landscape improvements and services, and therefore the cost are apportioned to the lots created by development. In accordance with the Fox Field Industrial Corridor Specific Plan, Avenue G was designed with a 10-foot wide landscaping easement on both sides with shrubs and canopy trees, as well as a 14- foot wide median, (7' of median included in cost calculation).

Determining the Cost per Benefit Unit
Benefit Units (BUs) for each parcel have been determined as a function of gross acreage and a Benefit Factor, related as shown in the following equation:

BUs = Gross Acres x Benefit Factor

Table 1 on the following page summarizes the total area, assigned benefit factor, and total benefit units calculated for each of the proposed land uses in the Fox Field Industrial Corridor Landscape Maintenance District.

11 PART III – METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT
General
The 1972 Act allows for the establishment of assessment districts by public agencies for the purpose of providing certain public improvements as detailed in Section I of this Report. The 1972 Act also requires that the cost of these improvements and services be assessed based on benefit received rather than by assessed value of the properties being assessed. In accordance with the 1972 Act, Section 22573:
“
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.
— Streets and Highways Code Section 22573
The method of apportionment described in this Report and confirmed by the City Council at the time the District was formed, and utilizes commonly accepted engineering practices which have been established pursuant to the 1972 Act and the California Constitution for the allocation of special benefit assessments.

The calculation of assessments is based upon the parcel type and the services and improvements provided to equitably apportion the costs based on the special benefit received by each lot or parcel. The special benefit received by each lot or parcel is over and above any general benefit conferred upon said lots or parcels or to the public at large.

Special Benefit
The maintenance of landscaping provides direct and special benefit to those properties located within the District. Each lot or parcel within the District receives a particular and distinct benefit from the continued operation, maintenance, and servicing of the improvements over and above any general benefits conferred on the public at large.

The improvements were originally installed as conditions of approval for the development of the parcels within the District. As part of the development process, the City required the developer to install and provide for the ongoing maintenance of the improvements and appurtenant facilities serving the parcels within the District. Therefore, the parcels within the District were approved and developed with the expectation that the improvements would be permanently maintained to preserve the planned character and functionality of the development.

The maintained improvements continue to confer special benefits upon parcels within the District by preserving and enhancing the desirability, attractiveness, marketability, and functionality of the properties. The improvements also provide visual enhancement, community identity, and functional integration of the parcels within the development, thereby directly benefiting the assessed properties.

Engineer’s Report
Lancaster Landscaping Maintenance District
City of Lancaster
Fiscal Year 2026-27

12 These benefits directly affect the use, enjoyment, desirability, and value of the parcels within the District and are uniquely associated with ownership of property within the development area served by the improvements.

The maintenance and servicing of landscaping and appurtenant improvements further protect the use and enjoyment of the parcels within the District by preserving the appearance and condition of landscaped areas and related facilities that specifically serve the development. These benefits are immediate, particular, and distinct to the properties within the District.

General Benefit
Although the improvements may be visible to or incidentally used by members of the public or properties outside the District, the improvements were installed to serve and benefit the properties within the District as part of the approved development. The improvements are specifically designed to provide benefit to the parcels within the District and are maintained for that purpose.

Any benefit received by the public at large or by properties outside the District is incidental, secondary, and not separable from the special benefits conferred upon the assessed parcels. Therefore, the operation, maintenance, and servicing of the improvements provide only incidental and minimal general benefit to the public at large and properties outside the District, which is not reasonably separate from the special benefits conferred upon the assessed parcels.

Definition of Special Benefit
The method of apportionment described in this Report is based on the premise that each assessable lot or parcel receives distinct and special benefits from the improvements and services provided, including the enhanced aesthetic appearance and visual desirability provided by well-maintained landscaping. In accordance with Article XIII D, Section 4 of the California Constitution:
“
Special benefit means a particular and distinct benefit over and above general benefits conferred on real property located in the District or the public at large.
— Article XIII D, Section 4 of the California Constitution Basis of Special Benefit Proportioning
The perimeter landscaping serves the residential development as an integrated neighborhood feature that enhances the appearance, identity, and environmental quality of the entire development area.

Although certain parcels may be located closer to particular landscaped areas, the improvements collectively contribute to the desirability and functionality of all parcels within the benefited area by maintaining a cohesive community character and protecting the quality of the development environment.

Engineer’s Report
Lancaster Landscaping Maintenance District
City of Lancaster
Fiscal Year 2026-27

13 Accordingly, the special benefits derived from the improvements are distributed throughout the benefited residential area, and the assessment methodology proportionately apportions costs among parcels based upon the relative special benefit received.

16 PART V – ASSESSMENT ROLL
Parcel Identification for each lot or parcel within the District shall be based on available parcel maps and other property data from the Los Angeles County Assessor’s office as they existed at the time this Report was prepared and adopted by the City Council.

A complete listing of parcels assessed within the District for Fiscal Year 2026-27, is too voluminous to include in the Report but is incorporated herein by reference and is on file with the City Clerk’s Office. If any parcel submitted for collection is identified by the County Auditor/Controller to be an invalid parcel number for the current fiscal year, a corrected parcel number and/or new parcel numbers will be identified and resubmitted to the County Auditor/Controller. The assessment amount to be levied and collected for the resubmitted parcel(s) shall be based on the method of apportionment and assessment rate approved in this Report. Therefore, if a single parcel has changed to multiple parcels, the assessment amounts applied to each of the new parcels shall be recalculated and applied according to the approved method of apportionment and assessment rate rather than a proportionate share of the original assessment.

Non-assessable lots or parcels include areas of public streets and other roadways (typically not assigned an APN by the County); dedicated public easements, open space areas and rights-of-way, including public greenbelts and parkways; utility rights-of-way; common areas; small parcels vacated by the County, bifurcated lots and any other property that cannot be developed or has specific development restrictions.

These types of parcels are considered to receive little or no benefit from the improvements and are therefore, exempted from assessment.

The Fiscal Year 2026-27 Assessment Rolls for the Fox Field Industrial Corridor, the Lancaster Business Park and the parcels known as “Front Row Center” are shown on the following pages.

Subject: Lancaster Drainage Benefit Assessment District Annual Assessment for Fiscal Year 2026/27
Recommendation:

Adopt Resolution No. 26- , confirming the diagram and assessments, and ordering the levy of an assessment in the Lancaster Drainage Benefit Assessment District for Fiscal Year 2026-2027.

G.C. Section 84308: No
Fiscal Impact:

Parcels annexed prior to Fiscal Year 2005/06 will be assessed $50 per equivalent drainage unit, which is the same as the previous year’s assessment. Lots and parcels annexed beginning Fiscal Year 2005/06 will be assessed $92.53 per equivalent drainage unit, which includes the 2.93% CPI adjustment. An estimated total of $2,326,551.99 will be assessed against the benefiting properties and will be used for maintenance expenses.

Background:

The City Council previously formed the Lancaster Drainage Benefit Assessment District, including the establishment of separate zones, and submitted the proposition to the eligible voters in each respective zone. The majority of voters approved the formation of the District, the separate zones, and the levying of the assessment. The first year’s assessment was paid by the developers of the property. Each year, thereafter, the City Council, after public notice and hearing, may determine and impose an annual assessment. Due to the cost and complexity of accounting for separate zones of benefit within the District, separate zone designations were eliminated in 1992 per Resolution 92-134, by City Council action.

Funds collected through the Drainage Benefit Assessment District are used to maintain the City’s completed and accepted drainage infrastructure within the District. 2 4

Assessment Rates for Fiscal Year 2026/27
Parcels annexed before FY 2005/06
oAnnual assessment remains $50.00 per Equivalent Drainage Unit (EDU). This rate is unchanged from FY 2004/05.
Parcels annexed in FY 2005/06 or later
oAssessments are adjusted annually based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the Los Angeles–Riverside–Orange Counties region.
oThe approved CPI adjustment for FY 2026/27 is 2.93%. The assessment increases from $89.90 to $92.53 per assessment unit.

How Assessments Are Calculated
Assessments are based on the amount of stormwater runoff generated by each property. Properties with more impervious surfaces (such as rooftops, parking lots, and pavement) contribute more runoff and are therefore assessed a proportionately larger share of the maintenance costs.
Additional details regarding the assessment methodology are available in the accompanying Engineer’s Report and Assessment.

On July 14, 2026, after hearing all protests to the drainage maintenance charges, the City Council continued the public hearing to August 11, 2026 at 1:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers, City of Lancaster.

1 INTRODUCTION
Purpose
Pursuant to the provisions of the Benefit Assessment Act of 1982, being Chapter 6.4, Part 1, Division 2 of the Government Code (the “1982 Act”), and in compliance with the substantive and procedural requirements of the California State Constitution Article XIII D (the “California Constitution”), the City Council of the City of Lancaster (the “City”) adopted a Resolution Initiating Proceedings for the Levy and Collection of Annual Assessments within the Lancaster Drainage Benefit Assessment District (the “District”) for Fiscal Year 2026-2027. Said Resolution called for the preparation and filing of an annual report (“Report”) pursuant 1982 Act, presenting plans and specifications describing the general nature, location and extent of the improvements to be maintained, an estimate of the costs to maintain said improvements within the District, a Diagram of the boundaries of the District and the Assessment Roll.

The word “parcel”, for purposes of this Report, refers to an individual property assigned its own Assessor’s Parcel Number (“APN”) by the Los Angeles County Assessor’s Office. The Los Angeles County Auditor/Controller uses APN and specific fund numbers to identify parcels to be assessed on the tax roll for special benefit assessments.

This Report consists of five sections and identifies the following items:
• Plans and Specifications. The location of the District and the specific improvements to be maintained.
• Cost Estimate. The District costs and proposed assessments to be levied for 2026-2027 • Method of Apportionment. How the District costs are allocated and apportioned to the assessable parcels based upon the benefit received.
• Assessment Diagram. A Diagram showing the District boundaries. • Assessment Roll. A listing of parcels to be assessed by APN and corresponding assessment amounts.

Overview
The City Council previously formed the Lancaster Drainage Benefit Assessment District with the goal of protecting properties from flooding through the continued maintenance, operation, and servicing of the drainage improvements within the District. Subsequent to the original formation, each parcel currently assessed has been annexed into the District. Upon annexation, the first year's assessment is paid by the developer of the parcels that were annexed.

Ordinance No. 739 Compliance
In compliance with Ordinance No. 739, all parcels used exclusively for religious or charitable purposes have been exempted from the payment of Lancaster Drainage Benefit Assessment District assessments.

2 IMPACTS OF PROPOSITION 218
On November 5, 1996 California voters approved Proposition 218 entitled "Right to Vote on Taxes Act" which added Article XIIID to the California Constitution. While its title refers only to taxes, Proposition 218 establishes new procedural requirements for the formation and administration of assessment districts.

Proposition 218 also requires that with certain specified exceptions, which are described below, all existing assessment districts must be ratified by the property owners within the District using the new procedures.

Some of these exceptions include:
1) Any assessment imposed exclusively to finance the capital cost or maintenance and operation expenses for streets.
2) Any assessments levied pursuant to a petition signed by the persons owning all of the parcels subject to the assessment at the time the assessment was initially imposed.

However, even if assessments are initially exempt from Proposition 218, if the assessments are increased in the future, the City will need to comply with the provisions of Proposition 218 for that portion of the increased assessment unless the increase in assessment was anticipated in the assessment formula (e.g., CPI increase).

Following the passage of Proposition 218, based on conversations with other public agency officials, attorneys, assessment engineers and Senate Bill 919, the City determined that if assessments were imposed as a condition of development and property owners agreed to the imposition of assessments and subsequently signed a development agreement confirming so, then this would suffice for the requirement of signing a petition.

The more difficult question arose in those situations where the levy of assessments was imposed as a condition of approval for land development or subdivision where the property owner did not enter into a development agreement. In those cases, if the improvements and the resulting assessment were a condition of the land development or subdivisions approval and the property owner acquiesces to the levy of assessment, it is reasoned that this was a functional equivalent of giving express consent or signing a petition requesting the imposition of the assessment. Even the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers' Association seems to tacitly support this conclusion in its "Statement of Drafters' Intent". When discussing the exemption for existing assessments imposed pursuant to a petition, the taxpayers' association said:
"This provision exempts most land secured financing arrangements used by developers." Clearly acceptance of a condition of approval of a development or subdivision which requires that imposition of assessments is a common form of land secured financing used by developers.

8 PART III – METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT
General
The method of apportionment described in this Report, and confirmed by the City Council at the time the District was formed, utilizes commonly accepted engineering practices which have been established pursuant to the 1982 Act and the California Constitution for the allocation of special benefit assessments.

The calculation of assessments is based upon the parcel type and the services and improvements provided to equitably apportion the costs based on the special benefit received by each parcel. The special benefit received by each parcel is over and above any general benefit conferred upon said parcels or to the public at large.

The Law requires that the annual aggregate amount of the assessment shall not exceed the estimated annual cost of providing the service. Also, 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.

District assessments are collected for the operation and maintenance of drainage improvements benefiting the parcels being assessed. Where improvements also serve parcels not being assessed, operation and maintenance costs are paid on a prorate basis. As stated above, any drainage improvements or services that are currently provided to parcels outside the District cannot be funded with assessment revenue. As a result, the City funds those improvements and services with sources other than the assessments.

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.

Special Benefit
The improvements and associated costs have been allocated to the assessable lots or parcels within the District based upon the special benefit received by those parcels. The improvements for which the parcels are assessed have been identified as necessary, were installed and are being maintained as part of the development plans specifically for each parcel. As such, the improvements and continuing maintenance and servicing of those improvements are strictly the obligation of the parcels within the District.

General Benefit
Although the improvements may provide some incidental drainage control for non-assessed parcels or parcels outside the District, the improvements were designed and installed as a requirement of the development of each annexed parcel and function for the sole benefit of the annexed parcels within the District. It has been determined therefore, the costs of operating, maintaining and servicing said improvements therefore provides no measurable benefit to those non-assessed parcels or parcels outside the District.

Fiscal Year 2026-27

9 Definition of Special Benefit
The method of apportionment described in this Report is based on the premise that each assessable parcel receives distinct and special benefit from the improvements and services provided, including the operation and maintenance of the drainage facilities in the District. In accordance with Article XIII D, Section 4 of the California Constitution:

Special benefit means a particular and distinct benefit over and above general benefits conferred on real
property located in the District or the public at large.

Basis of Special Benefit Proportioning
The special benefit to parcels in the District is derived from the reduction of storm and nuisance waters in, through and around the parcels in the District. The drainage facilities installed by developers for a given project are specifically for the benefit of the parcels in the project. These facilities collect storm and nuisance waters and control the discharge to the street or other drainage facilities.

Collecting and controlling the discharge helps reduce the otherwise hazardous driving conditions, and public nuisance associated with flooding. The cleaning, maintaining, servicing or improving of the facilities whether they are catch basins or other inlets or outlets, pipes, boxes, gutters, channels, pumps or retention/detention basins, provide an ongoing special benefit to the parcels in the area by allowing the facilities to be able to function as intended and to protect public and private parcels from flood damage.

All parcels which have developed in some form will create runoff from their parcels in some amount (run- off factor), such as when a parcel is graded or street improvements or other pavement is installed, and are therefore required to be annexed into the District.

The runoff that collects in the streets is directed to the catch basins, storm drains, channels and basins, carries with it debris, dirt, leaves, etc., which clog or fill the drainage facilities causing them to function at a reduced level, or not at all. When functioning at a reduced level, the driving hazards, public nuisance, and localized flooding damage mentioned above may occur.

Along with the cost of maintenance, the cost of improvements made in the District, such as installation of pumps, fences or walls, storm drains or replacement of facilities, are included in the assessment of the parcels in the District.

All parcels within the District benefit from the services provided. The assessment imposed is proportionate to the benefit derived.

Within the District, the parcels vary in zoning and development from single family to multi-family, commercial and industrial developments. Each type of development has a different run-off factor.

It is proposed to levy the assessment on the basis of proportionate storm water run-off from each parcel.

The basic assessment unit is the run-off from the average single family residential parcel.

Annual Levy Report
Lancaster Drainage Benefit Assessment District
City of Lancaster
Fiscal Year 2026-27

10 The average single family residential parcel is assigned one drainage unit. All other parcel use types have a calculated equivalent drainage unit (EDU) which is a factor of the amount of run-off from that parcel type compared to the average residential parcel. The non-single family residential EDU is expressed as a factor per acre.

Run-Off Factor
The calculation to determine the EDU is made up of several components. The first component is the run- off factor of that parcel’s use type. The run-off factor is the percentage of rain falling on a parcel that is expected to run off the parcel rather than be absorbed in the ground. It is expressed as a decimal. Land used for landscaping or agriculture have low run-off factors because most of the water soaks in rather than leaving the parcel in run-off. Land which has been improved by adding roofs and paving has a higher run-off factor.

The run-off factor of an average single family residential parcel is considered to be 0.23 meaning that 23% of the rain that falls on the parcel is expected to leave the parcel in run-off. Other types of parcel use have a higher expected run-off, for example a commercial development has a .70 run-off factor. Assumed run-off factors for parcel use types within the District are listed in Table 1.

Run-Off Magnitude
The next component is the magnitude of the parcel’s run-off compared to the single family use. This is determined by dividing the run-off factor of the other parcel use by the run-off factor of the single family use. The run-off magnitude component will vary depending on the type of parcel use.

Per Acre Equivalent
The next component in the EDU calculation is the per acre equivalent. The average single family parcel has an area of 9,600 square feet (0.22 acres). All other parcel use type EDUs are calculated using acres.

To calculate the per acre equivalent, divide one acre by the average single family parcel size in acres (1/0.22=4.55). In other words, one acre can contain 4.55 average sized single family residential parcels.

EDU Determination
Finally, to calculate the EDU for any parcel use other than single family residential, multiply the above determined Run-Off Magnitude by the Per Acre Equivalent. These calculations are shown in Table 1.

Lancaster Drainage Benefit Assessment District
City of Lancaster
Fiscal Year 2026-27

11 TABLE 1

NOTE: The area used in the calculations is the gross area, less any area in the street right-of-way or drainage easement. There may be development that due to the layout fit into one zoning category better than another and such EDUs will be determined by the Capital Program Manager.

Vacant developed residential, commercial and industrial property, based on the zoning, is considered 1 EDU for assessment purposes. Vacant developed means there are no onsite improvements; however, there are public improvements (such as streets) which have been accepted by the City. Once on-site development occurs, the property will be assessed at the rate for developed commercial or industrial property based on 13.8 EDU per acre.

Annual Assessment
The assessment for each assessable parcel is calculated as the product of the parcel’s total EDUs and the current year assessment rate per EDU.

Annual Assessment = Assessment Rate per EDU x Parcel’s Total EDUs

Assessment Rate and Consumer Price Index Adjustment
Parcels annexed prior to Fiscal Year 2005-06 are assessed $50 per EDU. Parcels which were annexed beginning in Fiscal Year 2005-06 through April 1st of this current fiscal year will be assessed $92.53 per EDU for Fiscal Year 2026-27.

The assessment rate for parcels annexed beginning in Fiscal Year 2005-06 through April 1st of the current Fiscal Year includes a cost of living adjustment factor for increasing assessments each fiscal year, to offset increases in costs due to inflation, by the cumulative percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers for (“CPI-U”) for the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim California Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area (“Index”) published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States Department of Labor. The annual CPI-U adjustment will be based on the cumulative increase, if any, in the Index as it stands in February of each year over the base Index year of 2005.

14 PART V – ASSESSMENT ROLL

The list of new parcels to be assessed in Fiscal Year 2026-2027 is located in Appendix A. The list of the remainder of the parcels in the District and their assessment amounts in Fiscal Year 2026-2027 is too voluminous to include with this Report but is incorporated herein by reference and is available for inspection in the office of the City Clerk.

Parcel Identification for each parcel within the District shall be based on available parcel maps and other property data from the Los Angeles County Assessor’s office as they existed at the time this Report was prepared and adopted by the City Council.

If any parcel submitted for collection is identified by the County Auditor/Controller to be an invalid parcel number for the current fiscal year, a corrected parcel number and/or new parcel numbers will be identified and resubmitted to the County Auditor/Controller. The assessment amount to be levied and collected for the resubmitted parcel(s) shall be based on the method of apportionment and assessment rate approved in this Report. Therefore, if a single parcel has changed to multiple parcels, the assessment amounts applied to each of the new parcels shall be recalculated and applied according to the approved method of apportionment and assessment rate rather than a proportionate share of the original assessment.

Non-assessable lots or parcels include areas of public streets and other roadways (typically not assigned an APN by the County); dedicated public easements, open space areas and rights-of-way, including public greenbelts and parkways; utility rights-of-way; common areas; small parcels vacated by the County, bifurcated lots and any other property that cannot be developed or has specific development restrictions.

These types of parcels are considered to receive little or no benefit from the improvements and are therefore, exempted from assessment. Additionally, all parcels used exclusively for religious or charitable purposes have been exempted from the assessment of Drainage Maintenance Assessments.
