SUBJECT: CONCERNING LOCAL TRANSPORTATION PURPOSE FUNDS (MEASURE “C” EXTENSION FUNDS)
DATE: AUGUST 4, 2026
ISSUE
Shall the City Council adopt Resolution No. 26-52, concerning Local Transportation Purpose Funds (Measure “C” Extension Funds)?

BACKGROUND
The Transportation Development Act (“TDA”) of 1971 provides funding to be allocated to transit and non-transit related purposes that comply with regional transportation plans. This funding is allocated by the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration, which takes the amount of sales tax collected and returns the general sales tax revenue to the Council of Fresno County Governments. They in turn allocate it to each city in the County of Fresno based on population for the projects that were budgeted for the 2026-2027 fiscal year.

ANALYSIS
The attached resolution, certification and claim forms for each applicable funding program are routine and required by the Fresno County Transportation Authority in order to receive the funding for Measure C Pass-Through Funds. With the funding provided by Fresno County Transportation Authority, the City of Mendota is able to fund street projects approved during the budget for each fiscal year.

FISCAL IMPACT
$491,943 to the City of Mendota Measure “C” Fund.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 26-52, concerning Local Transportation Purpose Funds (Measure “C” Extension Funds).

Mr. Cristian Gonzalez, City Manager
City of Mendota
[email protected]
Dear Mr. Gonzalez:

The Fresno County Transportation Authority, at its June 10, 2026, board meeting, adopted the attached Measure C Extension Local Transportation Purposes Pass-Through Projects and Program Funds apportionment for the fiscal year 2026-27 (Resolution 2026-01). As a result, local agency pass-through revenues from the Measure C Extension are available to claim for fiscal year 2026-27 using the numbers attached. These funds will be distributed monthly on a proportional basis as funds are received and based upon adopted percentages for each participating jurisdiction.

To begin distribution of the collected funds as soon as possible, it is required that each agency furnish the Transportation Authority with an executed FY2026-27 Certification and Claim form for each subprogram allocation along with an appropriate resolution from that agency. One resolution that specifically addresses each of the subprogram claim forms and the appropriate percentages allocated will be sufficient. These Certification and Claim forms are due to the Transportation Authority by August 25, 2026. In addition, each agency must also include language in their Claim Resolution of their intent to complete the prior year reporting requirements no later than November 15th when they submit their claim forms.

The Measure C Extension requires participating agencies receiving Measure C Extension funds to report their prior fiscal year expenditures no later than November 15th, as indicated on page 90 of the Measure C Extension Strategic Implementation Plan, Other Implementation Plan Provisions. If the expenditure reports are not filed with the Authority by November 15, 2026, the current fiscal years allocation will be held until such time as a completed report is filed for each program and subprogram.

A copy of the FY26-27 Resolution of Allocation has been included for reference. Each agency will receive one check that includes each subprogram where a completed claim form is filed and approved by the Authority Board along with a memo that details the subprogram breakdown.

This should assist each agency with tracking and monitoring the various subprogram requirements on spending these funds. The monitoring of these funds will be done by the annual audit process.

Local Transportation Pass-Through
June 24, 2026

Page 2 of 2 ends

The Certification and Claim Forms for each of the subprograms your agency is entitled to claim are attached. We have partially completed the forms on your behalf according to your previous year forms. Please return your completed and signed Certification and Claim forms for each subprogram along with your resolution by August 25, 2026. Please be sure to include your agency’s intent to meet the prior year expenditure reporting requirements (due no later than November 15, 2026) via email at [email protected]. One resolution that references all of the information listed above will be sufficient.

You will be provided with the FY25/26 Expenditure Reporting Requirement Forms, as soon as the FY25/26 end of year allocations are received with a reminder of your November 15th due date. As always, feel free to contact our office at any time. If you have questions or need assistance with the forms, please contact Denise DiBenedetto at 559.600.3282 or at the email mentioned above.

Sincerely,
Moses Stites

1 AGENDA ITEM – STAFF REPORT
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND COUNCILMEMBERS
FROM: CRISTIAN GONZALEZ, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: CITY COUNCIL DISCUSSION AND CONSIDERATION OF THE DESIGN OPTIONS FOR THE JESSE A. GIL PARK SIGN.

DATE: AUGUST 4, 2026
ISSUE
Shall the City Council discuss and consider the design options for the Jesse A. Gil Park sign?

BACKGROUND
The original Jesse A. Gil Park was retired after the property was returned to the Mendota Unified School District. During the February 3, 2026, regular City Council meeting, staff was directed to proceed with naming the park located at the intersection of Ramirez Street and Lua Avenue in honor of Mr. Jesse A. Gil.

ANALYSIS
As the City preparest o formally dedicate the park, staff is seeking input and direction from the City Council on the style of the new Jesse A. Gil Park. Staff has prepared several sign concepts that incorporate the City’s seal and green and gold color scheme while providing a welcoming and attractive entrance feature.

FISCAL IMPACT
At this time the City Council is not formally authorizing the purchase of the Jesse A. Gil sign.

The City Council is only providing input and direction on the item. There is no fiscal impact for providing input or direction. The fiscal impact related to the purchase of the sign is yet to be determined.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council provide direction to staff on the preferred design and direct staff to move forward with purchasing the sign and bring back a formal item at a future City Council meeting for the purchase of the Jesse A. Gil Park sign.

SUBJECT: RECEIVE AND REVIEW THE UPDATED PRELIMINARY CONCEPTUAL ALTERNATIVES

FOR THE CITY OF MENDOTA WELCOME SIGN BASED ON CITY COUNCIL DIRECTION DURING THE JULY 21, 2026 CITY COUNCIL MEETING AND PROVIDE FURTHER DIRECTION FOR FINAL IMPLIMENTATION.

DATE: AUGUST 4, 2026
ISSUE
Receive and review the updated preliminary conceptual alternatives for the City of Mendota Welcome Sign based on council direction on the July 21, 2026 council meeting and provide further direction for final implementation.

BACKGROUND
The City of Mendota (“City”) previously maintained two gateway welcome signs intended to identify and enhance the community along its primary transportation corridors. One sign is located along State Route 33 at the north entrance to the City for travelers approaching from Firebaugh, while the second sign was located along State Route 180 at the south entrance for visitors traveling from Kerman prior to being destroyed by fire.

On June 2, 2026, the City Council approved a Professional Services Agreement with Precision Civil Engineering, Inc. to prepare a Welcome Sign Study and Design for upgraded welcome signs. The scope includes site investigation, conceptual design, Caltrans coordination, engineering, and preparation of construction documents.

On July 21, 2026, nine conceptual alternatives were presented to the City Council for review.

Through Council's discussion and direction, members expressed a strong preference for incorporating Mendota's mosaic heritage and Spanish Mission architectural character into the final design. Council also requested that additional concepts explore a more modern aesthetic while placing greater emphasis on architectural and decorative lighting to enhance the sign's visual presence during both day and nighttime conditions.

Based on this feedback, the design team further evaluated the concepts and developed four refined alternatives that respond directly to the Council's comments. These alternatives combine the preferred architectural themes with updated design elements, enhanced lighting features, and modern styling for Council's continued review and selection.

ANALYSIS
Four preliminary alternatives have been developed representing several architectural themes that reflect Mendota's identity and community character. The concepts include:
• Spanish Mission
2 • Mosaic Heritage
• Modern Design
• Alternative Geometrics
Based on the conceptual alternatives presented, estimated construction costs are anticipated within the following ranges:

Preliminary Construction Cost Ranges
Sign Category Estimated Cost
Enhanced Monument $75,000 – $100,000
Premium Gateway Monument $100,000 – $150,000
Signature Landmark Feature $150,000 – $250,000+
Final construction costs will depend on the architectural style, monument size, materials, lighting, landscaping, artwork, and Caltrans requirements selected by the City Council.

FISCAL IMPACT
No additional construction funding is being requested at this time. Construction costs will be presented to the City Council following completion of the preferred design concept and preparation of final construction documents.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council:

1. Receive and review the updated preliminary Welcome Sign conceptual alternatives;

2. Provide direction regarding the preferred architectural style, community theme, monument features, landscaping, materials, colors, branding elements, and overall project character; and

3. Direct staff and the City Engineer to incorporate Council's comments into the preparation of the preferred design concept for final engineering and future construction.

TO: Mayors, Council Members, City Clerks, and City Managers RE: DESIGNATION OF VOTING DELEGATES AND ALTERNATES
League of California Cities Annual Conference and Expo, Sept. 23-25, 2026 Anaheim Convention Center
Every year, the League of California Cities convenes a member-driven General Assembly at the Cal Cities Annual Conference and Expo. The General Assembly is an important opportunity where city officials can directly participate in the development of Cal Cities policy.

Taking place on Friday, Sept. 25, 2026 the General Assembly is comprised of voting delegates appointed by each member city; every city has one voting delegate. Your appointed voting delegate plays an important role during the General Assembly by representing your city and voting on resolutions.

To cast a vote during the General Assembly, your city must designate a voting delegate and up to two alternate voting delegates, one of whom may vote if the designated voting delegate is unable to serve in that capacity. Voting delegates may either be an elected or appointed official.

Action by Council Required. Consistent with Cal Cities bylaws, a city’s voting delegate and up to two alternates must be designated by the city council. Please note that designating the voting delegate and alternates must be done by city council action and cannot be accomplished by individual action of the mayor or city manager alone.

Following council action, please submit your city’s delegates through the online submission portal by Tuesday, Sept. 1, 2026. When completing the Voting Delegate submission form, you will be asked to attest that council action was taken. You will need to be signed in to your My Cal Cities account when submitting the form.

Submitting your voting delegate form by the deadline will allow us time to establish voting delegate/alternate records prior to the conference and provide pre-conference communications with voting delegates.

Conference Registration Required. The voting delegate and alternates must be registered to attend the conference. They need not register for the entire conference; they may register for Friday only. Conference registration opens June 2.

For a city to cast a vote, one voter must be present at the General Assembly and in possession of the voting delegate card and voting tool. Voting delegates and Council Action Advised by September 1, 2026
alternates need to pick up their conference badges before signing in and picking up the voting delegate card at the voting delegate desk. This will enable them to receive the special sticker on their name badges that will admit the voting delegate into the voting area during the General Assembly.

Please view Cal Cities’ event and meeting policy in advance of the conference.

Transferring Voting Card to Non-Designated Individuals Not Allowed. The voting delegate card may be transferred freely between the voting delegate and alternates, but only between the voting delegate and alternates. If the voting delegate and alternates find themselves unable to attend the General Assembly, they may not transfer the voting card to another city official.

Seating Protocol during General Assembly. At the General Assembly, individuals with a voting card will sit in a designated area. Admission to the voting area will be limited to the individual in possession of the voting card and with a special sticker on their name badge identifying them as a voting delegate.

The voting delegate desk, located in the conference registration area of the Anaheim Convention Center, will be open at the following times: Wednesday, Sept. 23, 8:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m. and Thursday, Sept. 24, 7:30 a.m.-4:00 p.m. On Friday, Sept. 25, the voting delegate desk will be open at the General Assembly, starting at 7:30 a.m., but will be closed during roll calls and voting.

The voting procedures that will be used at the conference are attached to this memo.

Please share these procedures and this memo with your council and especially with the individuals that your council designates as your city’s voting delegate and alternates.

Once again, thank you for submitting your voting delegate and alternates by Tuesday, Sept. 1. If you have questions, please contact Zach Seals at [email protected].

Sixty days before the
Annual Conference
and Expo, Cal Cities
members may submit
policy proposals on
issues of importance
to cities. The resolution must
have the concurrence of at least
five additional member cities or
individual members.

How it works: Cal Cities
Resolutions and the General Assembly
General Assembly
General Resolutions Policy Committees
Developing League of California Cities policy is a dynamic process that engages a wide range of members to ensure Cal Cities represents cities with one voice. These policies directly guide Cal Cities’ advocacy to promote local decision-making, and lobby against statewide policies that erode local control.

The resolutions process and General Assembly is one way that city officials can directly participate in the development of Cal Cities policy. If a resolution is approved at the General Assembly, it becomes official Cal Cities policy. Here’s how resolutions and the General Assembly work.

The petitioned
resolution is an
alternate method
to introduce policy
proposals during
the annual conference. The
petition must be signed by
voting delegates from 10% of
member cities, and submitted to
the Cal Cities President at least
24 hours before the beginning
of the General Assembly.

Petitioned Resolutions
The Cal Cities
President assigns
general resolutions
to policy committees
where members
review, debate, and recommend
positions for each policy proposal.

Recommendations are forwarded
to the Resolutions Committee.

Who’s who
The Resolutions Committee
includes representatives
from each Cal Cities
diversity caucus, regional
division, municipal
department, and policy
committee, as well as
individuals appointed by
the Cal Cities president.

Voting delegates
are appointed by each
member city; every city
has one voting delegate.

The General Assembly is a
meeting of the collective
body of all voting
delegates —one from
every member city.

Seven policy committees
meet throughout the year
to review and recommend
positions to take on bills
and regulatory proposals.

Policy committees include
members from each Cal
Cities diversity caucus,
regional division, and
municipal department,
as well as individuals
appointed by the Cal
Cities president.

During the General Assembly, voting delegates
debate and consider general and petitioned
resolutions forwarded by the Resolutions
Committee. Potential Cal Cities bylaws
amendments are also considered at this meeting.

Cal Cities policy
development is a memberinformed process,
grounded in the voices and
experiences of city officials
throughout the state.

all resolutions. General
Resolutions approved1 by
either a policy committee
or the Resolutions Committee are next

VIA: CRISTIAN GONZALEZ, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: CONFIRMING THE DIAGRAM AND AUTHORIZING THE LEVY AND COLLECTION OF ASSESSMENTS FOR LANDSCAPE AND LIGHTING MAINTENANCE DISTRICT NO. 2019-01 FOR FISCAL YEAR 2026-2027
DATE: AUGUST 4, 2026
ISSUE
Shall the City Council adopt Resolution No. 26-55, confirming the diagram and authorizing the levy and collection of assessments for Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District No. 2019- 01 for Fiscal Year 2026-2027?

BACKGROUND
At its regular meeting of July 9, 2019, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 19-48 forming the Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District 2019-01 to cover the costs for landscape maintenance and park lighting operations and maintenance associated with Tract 6218 (La Colonia). According to the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972, which is Part 2 of Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code (the “Act”), an engineer shall prepare a report for “each fiscal year for which assessments are to be levied and collected to pay the costs of the improvements described in the report.” (SHC, § 22566.)
The landscape improvements included in LLMD 2019-01 were accepted by the City as follows:
the interior park improvements were accepted by the City in February 2021, the in-tract improvements which included the landscaping along Barboza Street were accepted in May 2021, and the Bass Avenue landscaping was accepted on April 12, 2022.

ANALYSIS
The costs expended by the City during the last fiscal year (2024-2025) for park maintenance was $19,229.00 and for lighting maintenance was $3,295.00; totaling $22,524.29 for LLMD 2019-01.

Because of this, the levy for landscape maintenance will be $226.22, and the levy for the lighting has increased by the maximum allowable by the Consumer Price Index increase of 3.0% from January 2025 to January 2026 to account for increase in energy costs. The total assessment per parcel will be a total of $228.00.

The City Manager and City Attorney have reviewed the Engineer’s Report and are satisfied that it meets the requirements of the Act. On July 7, 2026, the City Council accepted the Engineer's Report for fiscal year 2026-2027, declared its intention to levy and collect assessments for fiscal year 2026-2027, and scheduled the public hearing for consideration of assessments for the 2 August 4, 2026, regular City Council meeting. The City has provided public notice of the public hearing in accordance with the Act.

FISCAL IMPACT
The assessment will result in income to the City in excess of $19,000 for fiscal year 2026-2027, which is dedicated to the costs for landscape maintenance and park lighting operation and maintenance within LLMD 2019-01.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 26-55, confirming the diagram and authorizing the levy and collection of assessments for Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District No. 2019-01 for Fiscal Year 2026-2027.

Engineer’s Report for Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District 2019-01 – Fiscal Year 2026/2027 Precision Civil Engineering • June 2026 1-1
1 Introduction

1.1 Background
This Engineer’s Report has been prepared in accordance with the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972 (the “Act”), codified in Part 2, Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code. The Act authorizes local agencies, including cities, to establish Landscape and Lighting Maintenance Districts (LLMDs) for the purpose of assessing benefiting properties to fund the maintenance of landscaping improvements and the operation of lighting facilities that provide a special benefit to those properties beyond the general benefits enjoyed by the community as a whole.

In July 2019, the City Council approved the formation of Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District No. 2019-01 (LLMD 2019-01) and authorized the levy of assessments to fund landscape maintenance services and park lighting operations within Tract 6218, known as “La Colonia.” The Act requires that an Engineer’s Report be prepared annually for each fiscal year in which assessments are levied and collected to cover the costs associated with the improvements identified in the report (California Streets and Highways Code §22566).

This Report provides a description of LLMD 2019-01, including the district boundaries, the properties subject to assessment, the improvements and facilities to be maintained and operated, the proposed assessment amounts, the methodology used to allocate assessments among benefiting properties, and the individual assessment proposed for each parcel within the district. All assessments considered and adopted by the City Council (Council) must comply with the requirements of the Act.

The Council is responsible for reviewing the Engineer’s Report and may either approve it as presented or direct modifications. Upon final approval of the Report and the proposed assessments to be placed on the County tax roll for the upcoming fiscal year, the Council may order the levy and collection of assessments in accordance with the Act.

For LLMD 2019-01, the anticipated costs associated with operating, maintaining, and servicing the improvements, along with the benefiting properties, have been carefully analyzed. The assessment methodology has been developed to equitably distribute costs based on the level of special benefit received by the properties within the district. The assessments proposed for the current fiscal year are intended to fund the estimated expenses associated with maintaining public landscape areas and operating the specialized landscape and security lighting systems identified within the district.

LLMD 2019-01 includes an annual assessment adjustment mechanism that enables the City to maintain revenues consistent with increasing operational costs without conducting yearly assessment proceedings.

Under this provision, the City Council may increase the maximum assessment rate each year by the greater of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) or two percent (2%). If future operating expenses exceed the revenues generated through this adjustment process, the City may prepare a revised cost analysis and conduct new assessment proceedings to consider higher assessment levels.

The geographic area encompassed by LLMD 2019-01 is illustrated on the Assessment Diagram included in Appendix A. The diagram identifies the district boundaries, the maintenance areas, and all properties Section One: Introduction
Engineer’s Report for Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District 2019-01 – Fiscal Year 2026/2027 Precision Civil Engineering • June 2026 1-2
subject to assessment. This Engineer’s Report outlines the district structure and the assessments proposed for the current fiscal year. The maintenance, operation, and servicing costs associated with the district improvements that provide special benefit to assessed properties are identified and allocated proportionately among benefiting parcels. The proposed budget and assessments are based upon the City’s estimated costs to provide these services.

Landscape and Lighting Maintenance Districts may consist of multiple Benefit Zones, with each zone assessing properties for improvements and services specific to that area. LLMD 2019-01 may be expanded in the future to include additional properties and Benefit Zones upon approval by the City Council. For the current fiscal year, LLMD 2019-01 consists of one Benefit Zone.

1.2 Parcels Included in LLMD 2019-01
The word “parcel”, for the purposes of this Report, refers to an individual property assigned its own address and its own Assessor’s Parcel Number (APN) as assigned by the Fresno County Assessor’s Office. The Fresno County Auditor/Controller uses APNs and specific Fund Numbers to identify properties assessed for Special District Benefit Assessments such as proposed for this LLMD on the property tax roll.

The City Council will review the Engineer’s Report and the assessment information will be submitted to the County Auditor/Controller and will be included on the property tax roll for each parcel for this fiscal year.

1.3 Improvements Eligible for Inclusion
While not all of the following are included costs in LLMD 2019-01, the Act defines eligible improvements to mean one or any combination of the following, and any or all could be included in future assessments should the need arise:
• The installation or planting of landscaping;
• The installation or construction of statuary, fountains, and other ornamental structures and facilities; • The installation or construction of public lighting facilities; • The installation or construction of any facilities which are appurtenant to any of the foregoing or which are necessary or convenient for the maintenance or servicing thereof, including, but not limited to, grading, clearing, removal of debris, the installation or construction of curbs, gutters, walls, sidewalks, or paving, or water, irrigation, drainage, or electrical facilities; • The maintenance or servicing, or both, of any of the foregoing; • The acquisition of any existing improvement otherwise authorized pursuant to this section.

Incidental expenses associated with the improvements including, but not limited to:
• The cost of preparation of the report, including plans, specifications, estimates, diagram, and assessment;
• The costs of printing, advertising, and the publishing, posting and mailing of notices; • Compensation payable to the County for collection of assessments; • Compensation of any engineer or attorney employed to render services; Section One: Introduction

• Any other expenses incidental to the construction, installation, or maintenance and servicing of the improvements;
• Any expenses incidental to the issuance of bonds or notes pursuant to Section 22662.5; • Costs associated with any elections held for the approval of a new or increased assessment.

The Act defines "maintain" or "maintenance" to mean furnishing of services and materials for the ordinary and usual maintenance, operation, and servicing of any improvement, including:
• Repair, removal, or replacement of all or any part of any improvement; • Providing for the life, growth, health, and beauty of landscaping, including cultivation, irrigation, trimming, spraying, fertilizing, or treating for disease or injury; • The removal of trimmings, rubbish, debris, and other solid waste; • The cleaning, sandblasting, and painting of walls and other improvements to remove or cover graffiti.

Section Two: Description of the District
Engineer’s Report for Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District 2019-01 – Fiscal Year 2026/2027 Precision Civil Engineering • June 2026 2-1
2 Description of LLMD 2019-01
LLMD 2019-01 encompasses the full area of Tract 6218, commonly referred to as the La Colonia subdivision. The district boundary and overall configuration are depicted on the Assessment Diagram provided in Appendix A. All parcels located within the subdivision are included within a single Benefit Zone.

The proposed assessments are intended to fund the operation and maintenance of specialized landscaping and lighting improvements that were installed by the developer and subsequently dedicated to the City.

These improvements, described in further detail below, exceed the standard level of landscaping and lighting facilities typically provided by the City. As such, they confer a special benefit upon the properties within LLMD 2019-01, and the associated costs are appropriately allocated to the benefiting parcels through the assessment process.

2.1 LLMD Purpose and Services Provided
LLMD 2019-01 is established to provide for the continued operation, maintenance, and servicing of landscaping, landscape and security lighting systems, graffiti removal, and related maintenance activities within the public areas located throughout the district, as further described in the following sections.

The costs and assessments presented in this Report are based on the City’s estimated expenses associated with maintaining and operating the improvements within LLMD 2019-01. These expenses include, but are not limited to, labor, personnel costs, utilities, equipment, materials, administrative services, and other incidental costs necessary to provide the required level of service.

Properties receiving a special benefit from the improvements within a Benefit Zone are responsible for sharing the costs associated with the maintenance and operation of the facilities and services provided within that Zone. For the current fiscal year, LLMD 2019-01 consists of a single Benefit Zone. The total assessment required to fund the operation and maintenance of the district improvements is apportioned among the benefiting parcels in a fair and equitable manner based on the special benefit received.

2.2 Landscape Maintenance
Landscape maintenance responsibilities within LLMD 2019-01 include the landscaped medians and parkway areas along Bass Avenue, the subdivision’s primary perimeter roadway, including the landscaped roundabout center island. Maintenance areas also include the landscaped medians and parkways along Barboza Street between Bass Avenue and Ramirez Avenue, which serves as the principal access corridor to the subdivision, as well as landscaping located within public access easements (paseos) and the neighborhood park open space area. Services provided within these maintenance areas may include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Fertilizing, cultivating, pruning, and replacing plant materials all landscape improvements within the medians, parkways, entryways, paseos and pocket park open space areas within the LLMD including street trees, turf, ground cover, shrubs, irrigation and drainage systems; • Weed abatement;
Section Two: Description of the District
Engineer’s Report for Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District 2019-01 – Fiscal Year 2026/2027 Precision Civil Engineering • June 2026 2-2
• Painting and repairing of all sound walls, fencing, and necessary appurtenances. These may include but are not limited to shade structures, picnic tables, outdoor grills benches, trash and coal receptacles and similar items;
• Repair or replacement of colored, stamped concrete or river rock surfacing; • Solid waste and litter collection
As previously described, LLMD 2019-01 currently consists of a single Benefit Zone. Should additional properties or service areas be incorporated into the district in the future, each new area may be established as a separate Benefit Zone. The type and extent of improvements maintained and operated within each zone may differ based on the specific facilities and services provided to the benefiting properties.

The landscape improvements within LLMD 2019-01 are maintained and serviced on an ongoing basis to preserve their intended appearance and functionality. City staff evaluate maintenance and operational needs on a weekly basis and determine the appropriate level and frequency of services required within the district and its Benefit Zone. The resulting costs associated with the operation, maintenance, and servicing of these improvements are allocated among the benefiting parcels in proportion to the special benefits received by each property.

2.3 Lighting Operation and Maintenance
LLMD 2019-01 includes supplemental lighting in the neighborhood park area. Cost for operation and maintenance of this light are included in the initial assessment. These costs include:
• Electrical power
• Lamp and LED replacement
• Graffiti removal and/or painting
• Replacement of broken or damaged parts
No other lighting improvements are included in LLMD 2019-01 at this time. As additional Benefit Zones are added, the costs of operating and maintaining the full variety of supplemental lighting improvements within those new Benefit Zones may be assessed to properties within those zones.

Section Three: Method of Assessment
Engineer’s Report for Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District 2019-01 – Fiscal Year 2026/2027 Precision Civil Engineering • June 2026 3-1
3 Method of Assessment
In accordance with the Act, assessment costs may be allocated using any methodology that reasonably and equitably distributes the total assessable expenses among the benefiting parcels based on the level of special benefit each property receives from the improvements and services provided. To satisfy this requirement, the assessment methodology for LLMD 2019-01 considers factors such as parcel land use characteristics, the nature of the improvements being maintained and operated, and the specific maintenance and operational services provided within the district.

The City is required to identify all parcels that receive a special benefit from the improvements and services funded through the LLMD and are therefore subject to assessment. This determination is made by evaluating each parcel’s relationship to the improvements, as well as the associated maintenance and operational costs incurred to provide those benefits.

3.1 Benefit Analysis
In conjunction with the provisions of the Act, the California Constitution, in Article XIIID, defines a number of terms which are essential to an acceptable and equitable levy of assessments:

Section 2d defines “District” as follows:
“an area determined by an agency to contain all parcels which will receive a special benefit from a proposed public improvement or property related service.” Section 2i defines “Special Benefit” as follows:
“a particular and distinct benefit over and above general benefits conferred on real property located in the District or to the public at large. General enhancement of property value does not constitute “special benefit.”
Section 4a defines “Proportional Special Benefit Assessments” as follows:
“An agency which proposes to levy an assessment shall identify all parcels which will have a special benefit conferred upon them and upon which an assessment will be imposed. The proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel shall be determined in relationship to the entirety of the capital cost of a public improvement, the maintenance and operation expenses of a public improvement, or the cost of the property related service being provided. No assessment shall be imposed on any parcel which exceeds the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel.”

3.2 Potential Special Benefits of Landscaping Improvements The special benefits of additional landscaping within the LLMD boundaries include:
• Enhanced aesthetic environment
• Additional greenspace and shade within the tract
• Enhanced home values due to increase in overall greenspace within the development.

Section Three: Method of Assessment
Engineer’s Report for Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District 2019-01 – Fiscal Year 2026/2027 Precision Civil Engineering • June 2026 3-2
• Enhanced home values due to increased attractiveness of entrance frontage and entrance road median

3.3 Potential Special Benefits of Special Lighting Improvements The potential benefits of special landscape and lighting within the boundaries of the LLMD include:
• Convenience, safety, and security of property, improvements, and goods • Improvement of usability of greenspace areas
• Enhanced deterrence of crime and the aid to police protection • Improved ability of pedestrians to see potential obstacles

3.4 Assessment Methodology
Within LLMD 2019-01, each parcel is assigned a weighting factor referred to as an Assessment Unit (AU), which is used to determine the parcel’s proportional share of the special benefits provided by the district improvements. The number of AUs assigned to a parcel is based on factors such as land use classification, development status, and/or parcel size relative to other properties within the district, as applicable to the type of cost being allocated.

A standard single-family residential parcel is assigned an AU value of 1.00 and serves as the baseline for the assessment methodology. Other land use categories are assigned AU values that reflect the relative level of special benefit received when compared to a typical single-family residential parcel.

For each Benefit Zone, the total assessable amount, commonly referred to in the Act as the Balance to Levy, is divided by the total number of Assessment Units within that zone to determine the assessment rate per AU. The assessment for an individual parcel is then calculated by multiplying the applicable assessment rate by the parcel’s assigned AU value, resulting in the parcel’s annual levy amount.

Put mathematically, the formulas for the method of apportionment will be as follows:

Total Balance to Levy / Total AU in Zone = Levy per AU (Rate) Levy per AU (Rate) x Parcel’s Calculated AU = Parcel’s Levy Amount LLMD 2019-01 is established to fund the operation, maintenance, and servicing of improvements that enhance the appearance, visual character, and public safety of the properties located within the district.

These improvements provide direct and identifiable special benefits to the parcels subject to assessment within LLMD 2019-01.

The assessments and apportionment methodology presented in this Report are founded on the principle that assessment revenues will be used exclusively for the operation, maintenance, and servicing of the landscape and lighting improvements located within LLMD 2019-01. Furthermore, all revenues generated through the assessments levied within the district will be dedicated solely to these purposes.

Based upon the analysis contained in this Engineer’s Report, the following findings are made:

Section Three: Method of Assessment
Engineer’s Report for Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District 2019-01 – Fiscal Year 2026/2027 Precision Civil Engineering • June 2026 3-3
• The costs of operation and maintenance of the proposed improvements have been identified and allocated to properties within LLMD 2019-01 based on a determined special benefit. • The LLMD improvements are not required nor necessarily desired by any properties or developments outside the LLMD 2019-01 boundary. Therefore, any public access or use of these local improvements by others is incidental and there is no measurable general benefit to properties outside LLMD 2019-01 or to the public at large. • The LLMD improvements, associated costs and assessments are localized, and the construction and installation of the improvements are only necessary for the development of properties within LLMD 2019-01.
• The improvements provided by LLMD 2019-01 and for which properties will be assessed have been identified as an essential component and local amenity that provide a direct reflection and extension of the properties within LLMD 2019-01.
• The method of assessment set forth in this Report assumes that each assessed property receives special benefits from the landscape and lighting improvements within LLMD 2019-01, over and above any general community benefit.
• The assessment obligation for each parcel reflects that parcel’s proportional share of special benefits as compared to other properties within LLMD 2019-01. • Pursuant to the provisions of the Act, the improvements and the associated costs described in this Report have been carefully reviewed and have been allocated proportionally to properties within LLMD 2019-01.

All parcels within LLMD 2019-01 are assigned a residential land use designation by the City. Although land use classifications, such as residential versus non-residential uses, are often utilized in determining the relative special benefit received by properties within a Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District, that distinction is not applicable in this case because all parcels within the district share the same residential classification.

Landscape improvements serving residential developments are generally located along subdivision perimeter streets, within common areas, or in locations that are readily accessible to residents throughout the neighborhood. As a result, these improvements are considered to provide a substantially equal and similar level of benefit to each residential dwelling unit within the development. Accordingly, each residential parcel is assigned 1.00 Assessment Unit (AU) for purposes of allocating landscape maintenance costs, regardless of whether a residence has been constructed or the parcel remains approved for future residential development.

Likewise, the supplemental landscaping and lighting improvements located within and adjacent to the subdivision are considered to provide a reasonably equivalent level of special benefit to all residential properties within the district. Therefore, each residential parcel is assigned 1.00 AU for the allocation of these costs as well.

Consistent with City practice, no assessments are levied for standard street lighting improvements.

Therefore, standard street lighting costs are not included in the assessments established for LLMD 2019-

3.5 Annual Adjustments to Assessments
The costs associated with operating and maintaining district improvements are subject to increases over time due to inflation and other economic factors. Under normal circumstances, increases in assessments to recover these higher costs may require specific noticing, public hearing, and balloting procedures as prescribed by law. However, Government Code Section 54954.6(o) provides that a “new or increased assessment” does not include an assessment that remains within a previously approved assessment formula or authorized range adopted by the agency or approved by affected property owners. This interpretation was subsequently reaffirmed through Senate Bill 919, which implemented the provisions of Proposition 218.

Accordingly, LLMD 2019-01 includes an assessment adjustment mechanism that allows annual modifications to the maximum authorized assessment without requiring additional assessment proceedings, provided the adjustment remains within the previously approved formula. The assessment adjustment methodology applicable to LLMD 2019-01 is described below:

The maximum assessment amount allowed for each fiscal year may be increased in an amount equal to the greater of: (1) three percent (3.0%), or (2) the percentage increase of the Local Consumer Price Index (CPI). The Consumer Price Index to be applied is for the West Region for All Urban Consumers, as developed by U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

For each fiscal year, the City shall calculate the percentage change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) by comparing the CPI published for January 1 of the current year with the CPI published for January 1 of the preceding year, or another comparable 12-month measurement period. The resulting percentage increase shall establish the maximum adjustment permitted under the CPI-based assessment escalation formula. If the Bureau of Labor Statistics modifies, replaces, or discontinues publication of the applicable CPI index, the City may utilize the revised index or another comparable cost-of-living measure approved by the City Council to determine annual inflationary adjustments.

Notwithstanding the maximum increase authorized under the adjustment formula, the City Council may determine that a lesser assessment increase, or no increase at all, is appropriate for a given fiscal year and may adopt assessments below the allowable maximum level. Conversely, if the financial requirements of the LLMD or any Benefit Zone exceed the revenues generated through the authorized adjustment formula and a larger increase is necessary to maintain adequate funding, solvency, or cash flow, the City may propose an assessment increase above the formula amount. Any such increase would be subject to the applicable noticing, hearing, and majority protest procedures required by law for assessment increases.

3.6 LLMD Budget for Maintenance and Operations
The following tables present summaries of the Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District budgets for LLMD 2019-01. The budget summaries identify the estimated costs associated with the operation, maintenance, and servicing of the district improvements, as well as the assessment rates applied to each Assessment Unit within the district’s single Benefit Zone. These assessment rates are calculated to generate the revenue necessary to fund the improvements and services that provide special benefits to the properties within LLMD 2019-01.

Section Three: Method of Assessment
Engineer’s Report for Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District 2019-01 – Fiscal Year 2026/2027 Precision Civil Engineering • June 2026 3-5
The improvements maintained through LLMD 2019-01 were accepted by and dedicated to the City in phases. The neighborhood park landscaping and lighting improvements were accepted on February 9, 2021; the landscaping improvements along Barboza Street were accepted on May 25, 2021; and the landscaping improvements along Bass Avenue were accepted on April 12, 2022.

The City has incurred ongoing expenses associated with the operation and maintenance of LLMD 2019-

01. While landscape maintenance expenditures have remained within the current budgeted amounts, lighting-related costs have experienced increases. Based on the annual adjustment provisions of the district, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) increase calculated between January 2025 and January 2026 is

3.0 percent. Accordingly, this adjustment will be applied to the Lighting Maintenance Budget assessment levy for the current fiscal year.

Table 3-1 presents the budget for landscape maintenance over a year of operation.
