Item D. 3.
DATE 06/26/2025
TO Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM Ed Miranda, Information Technology Director/CIO
SUBJECT Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a purchase order with Dell Marketing, L.P. (Dell) in an amount not to exceed $475,785 for the renewal of licenses and software assurance and subscription services for three years
SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION
The City uses Microsoft products for daily operations; tools that are critical to internal City communications, data analysis, document creation, and system operations. The City’s current agreement for Microsoft products is set to expire in July 2025. Staff recommends that the City Council, by resolution, approve and authorize the City Manager to execute a purchase order with Dell Marketing, L.P. (Dell) in the amount not to exceed $475,785 for a three-year Microsoft Enterprise Agreement.
BACKGROUND
In 2020, the City began using Microsoft 365 and Office 365 through a Microsoft Enterprise Agreement. This agreement bundles licenses and services under a cost-effective, multi-year contract. The current three-year agreement began in 2022, and Dell Marketing, L.P. was selected based on their pricing through a competitive Riverside County contract.
Each year, Microsoft requires a “true-up” process, where the City reports any increase in license usage (e.g., from new hires or added services) and pays for the difference. In 2023 and 2024, true-up costs included the addition of servers and software to support growing demands, including GIS, building permits, public safety analytics, and payroll systems. In addition to Microsoft 365 and Office 365, software needs include Power BI, Teams, Visio, and Azure.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
Renewing the Microsoft Enterprise Agreement ensures:
- Business Continuity: Microsoft software is foundational to the City’s operations. - Scalability: New staff and added services will require new licenses, which are covered by this agreement.
- Cost Efficiency: Buying through Dell under the Riverside County Master Agreement provides competitive pricing.
- Compliance: The annual true-up process ensures the City stays in line with licensing terms.
The Information Technology Department has reviewed current and projected needs and worked with Dell to finalize pricing. The proposal includes a 10% contingency to cover any future increases in software or service needs during the contract term.
Cost Comparison:
Current Agreement (2022–2025):
2022: $120,222.75
2023: $177,271.46 (includes $57,048.71 true-up)
2024: $126,026.55 (includes $5,803.80 true-up)
Total: $423,521.76
Proposed Renewal (2025–2028):
2025: $144,177.26
2026: $144,177.26
2027: $144,177.26
Subtotal: $432,531.78
Contingency (10%): $43,253.18
Total Not to Exceed: $475,784.96
FISCAL IMPACT
If approved, the City would be required to make three annual payments of $144,177.26 in Fiscal Years 2025-26, 2026-27, and 2027-28. The Information Technology Department has already anticipated and appropriated the first payment for Fiscal Year 2025-26 in the adopted 2024-2026 Biennial Budget. The remaining payments for Fiscal Years 2026-27 and 2027-28 will be included in the proposed 2026-2028 Biennial Budget and presented to the City Council for approval as part of the regular budget process.

SUBJECT Adopt a resolultion accepting work with G. Bortolotto & Company, Inc. for the Fiscal Year 2024 Asphalt Concrete Street Overlay Program, Project 1344
SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council, by resolution, accept the work of G. Bortolotto & Company, Inc., authorize the City Clerk to file the Notice of Completion with the Alameda County Recorder, and authorize the release of bonds and final retention payment for the Fiscal Year 2024 Asphalt Concrete Street Overlay Program, Project 1344. The final project cost was $1,525,324.30, which is $224,675.70 under the allocated project budget.
BACKGROUND
Pursuant to Resolution No. 11654, adopted June 27, 2024, the City Council awarded a contract to G. Bortolotto & Company, Inc. for the Fiscal Year 2024 Asphalt Concrete Street Overlay Program, Project 1344. The Fiscal Year 2024 Asphalt Concrete Street Overlay Program, Project 1344 included both asphalt overlay and patch paving.
Streets that received asphalt overlay include: Cluny Place, Elmwood Avenue, Hafner Street, Hazelnut Drive, Honeysuckle Court, Iris Court, Linden Court, Lobelia Drive, Manzanita Street, Merion Drive, Redbud Court, Spruce Court, Souza Avenue, and Tenaya Avenue.
Streets that received patch paving in preparation for the City's slurry seal project or as individual spot repairs include: Argonne Street, Baine Avenue, Breton Drive, Brittany Avenue, Cabernet Avenue, Cedar Boulevard, Central Avenue, Darvon Street, Donegal Court, Elm Street, Enterprise Drive, Fountaine Avenue, George Avenue, Jarvis Avenue, Juniper Street, Laurel Street, Locust Street, Magnolia Street, Nelson Place, Newark Boulevard, Noel Avenue, Oldham Place, Olive Street, Papaya Street, Peachtree Avenue, Reina Place, Rochelle Avenue, Sheridan Court, Sunset Avenue, Timber Street, Tozier Street, Walnut Street, and Yew Court.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
Staff has inspected the entire scope of work which has now been satisfactorily completed in accordance with the approved project plans and specifications and all applicable standards. Pursuant to the State of California Public Contract Code, formal acceptance of the work by the City Council is now recommended.
FISCAL IMPACT
On June 27, 2024, the City Council awarded a contract in the amount of $1,499,990.50 to G. Bortolotto & Company, Inc. Staff also recommended including a construction contingency in the amount of $250,009.50 which brought the recommended allocation for the project to $1,750,000. $50,875 of the total allocation amount would be reimbursed to the City by the Alameda County Water District (ACWD) and Union Sanitary District (USD).
Due to the emergency work associated with the additional patch paving, the project was not completed within the original contract budget. The additional patch paving resulted in the use of approximately 10% of the construction contingency. The total expensed amount for the Fiscal Year 2024 Asphalt Concrete Street Overlay Program, Project 1344, is $1,525,324.30; $224,675.70 less than the total allocation amount of $1,750,000 for the project.
Funding for the Fiscal Year 2024 Asphalt Concrete Street Overlay Program, Project 1344, included a combination of Highway Users Tax Account funds and Senat Bill 1 Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account funds.

DATE 06/26/2025
TO Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM Vibha Deshmukh, Associate Civil Engineer
SUBJECT Hold a public hearing and adopt a resolution approving the Final Engineer’s Report, confirming formation of Landscaping and Lighting District No. 20 and authorizing the levy and collection of assessments for Fiscal Year 2025-26
SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council take the following actions: (1) Hold a public hearing for the proposed formation of Landscaping and Lighting District No. 20 (Tract 8583); (2) Upon conclusion of public input, close the balloting period and direct the City Clerk to tabulate all received ballots; (3) Accept the City Clerk’s tabulation results; and (4) If no majority protest exists, adopt a resolution approving the Engineer's Report, confirming the formation of Landscaping and Lighting District No. 20 and authorizing the levy and collection of assessments for Fiscal Year 2025-26.
BACKGROUND
The Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 established procedures for the formation of maintenance districts for the purpose of financing the costs and expenses associated with the maintenance of landscaping and lighting of public areas. In 1996, California voters approved Proposition 218 which established new procedural requirements related to the formation of Landscaping and Lighting Assessment Districts and increasing existing assessments. These procedural requirements include holding a public hearing, mailing notices and ballots to all affected property owners at least 45 days in advance of the public hearing, and the tabulation of ballots weighted by the proposed assessment amounts.
Robson Homes, the developer of Tract 8583 located off Cedar Boulevard between Moores Avenue and Smith Avenue, requested the City facilitate the formation of Landscaping and Lighting District No. 20 to meet conditions of approval for the project.
Landscaping and Lighting District No. 20 would provide for the maintenance of median, street and buffer landscaping on Cedar Boulevard between Moores Avenue and Smith Avenue; trash capture device maintenance, and maintenance and operation of streetlights along this portion of Cedar Boulevard. On May 8, 2025, City Council adopted Resolution No. 11,742 initiating proceedings for the formation of Landscaping and Lighting District No. 20 comprised of Tract 8583, preliminarily approving the Engineer's Report, and declaring its intention to order the formation of the assessment district to levy and collect assessments. In accordance with Proposition 218, City Council directed notices and ballots were mailed to all affected property owners, subject to the proposed assessment at least 45 days prior to the date of the public hearing set for June 26, 2025.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
During the public hearing, City Council will hear public testimony and receive comments related to the proposed assessment and ballot process. Property owners may submit, change, or withdraw their ballots anytime through the close of the public hearing. Once the public hearing is closed, the City Clerk will open and tabulate all ballots received. Each ballot will be weighted based on the amount of the proposed assessment. This means one vote for each dollar of assessment.
A majority protest exists if the weighted ballots received in opposition to the proposed assessment exceed the weighted ballots received in favor of the proposed assessment. If a majority protest does not exist, the City Council may consider adopting the attached resolution to approve the Engineer’s Report, confirm formation of Landscaping and Lighting District No. 20, and authorize the levy and collection of assessments beginning in Fiscal Year 2025-26. If approved, Landscaping and Lighting District No. 20 would generate $6,875 for Fiscal Year 2025-26. If and when Landscaping and Lighting District No. 20 is formed, it will be included with the existing Districts within the City for annual administration.
FISCAL IMPACT
If the formation of Landscaping and Lighting District No. 20 is not approved and assessments are not levied annually, the City will not generate dedicated funding for the ongoing maintenance of the public landscaping and lighting improvements installed along Cedar Boulevard as part of the Tract 8583 development.
Based on the Engineer’s Report, the projected total cost for the operation, maintenance, servicing, and replacement of improvements for Landscaping and Lighting District No. 20 in Fiscal Year 2025-26 is estimated at approximately $11,000. If approved, Landscaping and Lighting District No. 20 will generate $6,875 in assessments for Fiscal Year 2025-26 to support the maintenance of these improvements. The remaining $4,125 of the total maintenance budget is considered a general benefit to the public at large and will be funded by the Public Works Maintenance Cost Center (Fund 140).
Beginning in Fiscal Year 2026-27, the maximum assessment rate may be increased annually based on the percentage change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI), San Francisco Bay Area (All Urban Consumers), using the Fiscal Year 2025-26 index as the base year.
A dedicated Fund (Fund 420) will be established to track all revenues and expenses related to Landscaping and Lighting District No. 20, ensuring transparency, budget accountability, and compliance with Proposition 218.

LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. 20 INTRODUCTION
1 SECTION I
INTRODUCTION
ENGINEER’S REPORT
FORMATION OF LANDSCAPING & LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. 20
FISCAL YEAR 2025-26
To ensure the proper flow of funds for the ongoing operation, maintenance, servicing and replacement of specific improvements within the City of Newark (the “City”), the City Council, through the Landscaping & Lighting Act of 1972 (the “1972 Act”), has previously approved the formation of nineteen (19) Landscape & Lighting Districts (LLD) and is currently proposing the formation of one (1) additional LLD, which is the purpose of this Engineer’s Report (Report). Improvements, which may be operated, maintained, serviced and replaced by LLDs, include, but are not limited to, landscaping, park, streetlighting, and trail improvements.
Generally, as a part of the conditions of approval to develop property within the City, property owners/developers are required to mitigate their project’s financial impact to the City. Developers can provide their own financing mechanism to mitigate their impact, form a new LLD or when applicable, annex into an existing LLD. The formation of these LLDs ensure that the operation, maintenance, servicing, and replacement costs of these improvements are specifically paid for those property owners who directly benefit from the improvements.
LLD No. 20 (the “District”) will include Tract 8583 which is located north side of Cedar Boulevard, between Moores Avenue and Smith Avenue. Tract 8583 will consist of 118 single-family homes at build-out. Formation of the District will require approval from the District property owner(s), prior to final approval from City Council. This process is discussed in Section II, “Impacts of Proposition 218” of this Report.
As required by the 1972 Act, this Report includes: (1) a description of the improvements to be operated, maintained, serviced and replaced by the District, (2) a cost estimate for the District, and (3) a listing of the proposed maximum assessments to be levied upon each assessable lot or parcel within the District.
The City of Newark will hold a public hearing on June 26, 2025, regarding the formation of the District. At the public hearing the City will provide an opportunity for any interested person to be heard. After the public input portion of the public hearing, the City Clerk will tabulate the assessment ballots. If the assessment ballot tabulation is favorable, the City Council may adopt a resolution forming the District and confirming the maximum assessment rates as originally proposed or as modified.
Payment of the assessment for each parcel will be made in the same manner and at the same time as payments are made for property taxes. All funds collected through the

LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. 20 PROPOSITION 218 3 SECTION II
IMPACT OF PROPOSITION 218
FORMATION OF LANDSCAPING & LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. 20
FISCAL YEAR 2025-26
On November 5,1996, California voters approved Proposition 218 entitled “Right to Vote on Taxes Act” which added Articles XIIIC and XIIID to the California Constitution. While its title refers only to taxes, Proposition 218 established new procedural requirements for the formation and administration of assessment districts.
Formation of the District will require voter approval from the District property owner(s), prior to final approval from City Council. In order to comply with the requirements of Proposition 218, the City of Newark has implemented the following procedures:
1) Every property owner within the District will be mailed a ballot, which allows the property owners to cast their votes either in favor or against the proposed formation of the assessment district. A notice describing the assessment, the individual property owner’s maximum annual assessment, the duration of the assessment, the reason for the assessment, and the basis upon which the assessment is calculated will accompany the ballot.
2) After the close of the public input portion of the public hearing, the ballots, which have been returned to the City Clerk will be tabulated to determine whether a majority protest against the formation of the District exists. 3) Returned ballots will be weighted based on their proposed assessment amount. 4) Publicly owned properties must be assessed unless there is clear and convincing evidence that they receive no special benefit from the improvements. Exempted from the assessment would be the areas of public streets, public avenues, public lanes, public roads, public drives, public courts, public alleys, public easements, and rights-of-ways, public greenbelts and public parkways, utility easements, and that portion of public property that is not used for business purposes similar to private residential, commercial, industrial and institutional activities. Also exempted from the assessments are private streets, utility easements, HOA common areas and any other parcels that do not receive a special and direct benefit from the improvements.
All property owners will be noticed in accordance with Proposition 218 a minimum of 45 days prior to the public hearing, unless a shorter notice period is agreed to by all affected property owners. After the public hearing and after the ballots have been tabulated, if a majority of the weighted ballots do not oppose the assessment, then the City Council may adopt a resolution forming the District and confirming the maximum assessment rate.

12 PART D
METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT OF ASSESSMENT
Part 2 of Divisions 15 of the Streets and Highway Code, the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, permits the establishment of assessment districts by agencies for the purpose of providing certain public improvements which includes, but is not limited to the operation, maintenance, servicing and replacement of street lighting, landscaping, trails, parks, and open space area facilities.
Section 22573 of the 1972 Act requires that assessments must be levied according to special benefit, rather than according to assessed value. This Section states:
“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 benefit to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements.”
In addition, Article XIIID, of the California Constitution limits the amount of any assessment to the proportional “special benefit” conferred on the property. Article XIIID provides that only special benefits conferred on a parcel. There is no widely accepted or statutory formula for determining general and special benefit. However, the constitution states that a special benefit is different from a general benefit in that it is “particular and distinct” and “over and above” general benefits received by other properties and people.
Article XIIID provided that publicly owned properties must be assessed unless there is clear and convincing evidence that those properties receive no special benefit from the assessment. Exempted from the assessment would be the areas of public streets, public avenues, public lanes, public roads, public drives, public courts, public alleys, public easements and rights-of-ways, public greenbelts and public parkways, utility easements, and that portion of public property that is not owned used for business purposes similar to private residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional activities.
The City is required to separate general benefit to the public at large from the special benefits to property and only the special benefits may be assessed. The amount to be assessed may be apportioned using any formula or method which fairly distributes the special benefits amongst all assessable lots or parcels. The separation of general and special benefits and the assessment methodology used to apportion the special benefits to properties within the District are described in Part D of this report.
CITY OF NEWARK SECTION II
LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. 20 PART D
13 SPECIAL BENEFIT
Under Article XIIID of the California Constitution, a special benefit is a benefit that is “particular and distinct from those conferred on other parcels and that is over and above any general benefits conferred by the improvements.” Following an analysis of the District improvements, the special benefits conferred on properties within the District were identified and are described below.
• Improved aesthetic appeal for adjacent properties providing a positive representation for the neighborhood.
• Enhanced desirability of property through direct association with the improvements.
• Safer vehicle and pedestrian access to and from property. • Reduced criminal activity and property-related crimes (especially vandalism) against properties through well-maintained surroundings and amenities including abatement of graffiti.
• Local environmental enhancement through improved erosion control, dust and debris control, and fire prevention.
These special benefits to property are the basis for apportionment of assessments within the District utilizing the assessment methodology described in Part D of this Report.
GENERAL BENEFIT
Under Article XIIID of the California Constitution, general benefit is defined as a benefit that is not particular or distinct to any specific parcel but rather shared by the public at large. Following an analysis of the District improvements, the general benefits to the public at large were identified and are described below. • Improved pass-through traffic, benefiting the general traveling public. • Enhanced Citywide Beautification improving the visual character of the broader community that is enjoyed by residents, commuters, and visitors regardless of proximity to the improvements.
• Erosion and debris control supporting cleanliness and keeping trash and debris from spreading to other areas of the City and affecting quality of life.
The total cost attributed to these general benefits cannot be assessed to properties within the District and must be paid from alternative funding source. As noted above, there are a total of eight (8) benefits associated with the District improvements. Five (5) are special benefits to properties within the District and three (3) are general benefits to the public at large. Therefore, the portion of the District budget attributed to general benefits to the public at large is calculated as follows:
3 General Benefits
8 Total Benefits
General Benefit % = = 37.5%
CITY OF NEWARK SECTION II
LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. 20 PART D
14 Based on the calculation above, 37.5% of the total District budget is designated as general benefit to the public at large and will be funded through an alternative funding source. The remaining 62.5% is considered special benefit to properties within the District and will be spread using the assessment methodology described in this part of the Report.

The operation, maintenance, servicing, and replacement costs attributed to special benefit for the District landscaping and streetlighting improvements are apportioned in accordance with a methodology that is consistent with standard assessment engineering practices. Since the assessments are levied on the owners of properties as shown on the secured property tax rolls, the final assessments must be assigned by Assessor’s Parcel Number (APN). If assessments were to be allocated by parcel, not considering land use, benefit would not be allocated equitably because a single-family parcel would be paying the same as a 50-unit apartment parcel or a large commercial property. To establish proportionality, the assessment methodology is based on Equivalent Dwelling Units (EDUs) assigned to each APN as described below.
Single-Family Residential Parcels – The single-family residential parcel has been selected as the basic unit for the calculation of assessments since it represents approximately 75% of the parcels within the City. Therefore, the single-family residential parcel is defined as one EDU per parcel. EDUs are assigned to other land uses within the District in proportion to the special benefit they receive relative to the single-family residential parcel as described below.
Multi-Family Residential Parcels – Multi-family residential parcels are parcels comprised of more than one residential unit on the same parcel, excluding Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs). On average, residential units for multi-family residential parcels have approximately 50% of the building square footage as compared to a single-family home.
Furthermore, studies consistently show that multi-family residential units impact public infrastructure approximately 50% as much as a single-family home. Therefore, multifamily parcels are assigned 0.50 EDUs per residential unit.
Non-Residential Parcels – Commercial, industrial, institutional, and other assessable non-residential properties will be assigned six (6) EDUs per acre of land. The 6 EDUs per acre allocation is based on the average size of a single-family parcel in the City of Newark.
For every acre of non-residential land approximately 6 single-family homes could be constructed on that acre of land which would equate to 6 EDUs per acre.
Undeveloped Parcels – Undeveloped properties are assessed at 25% of the developed EDUs assigned for each parcel of land based on land use classification. Undeveloped properties benefit less from the improvements than developed property because undeveloped properties do not have structures which house residents or employees.
However, the improvements funded by the District do benefit undeveloped property because improvements have been installed that allow for development to occur making the property more attractive to potential buyers. Based on this information, it is reasonable
CITY OF NEWARK SECTION II
LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. 20 PART D
15 to assume that undeveloped property benefits less than developed property. To determine the difference in special benefit conferred on developed versus undeveloped property, the assessed values for property within the City per the Alameda County Assessor were reviewed to determine what percentage of assessed value is typically associated with underlying land and what percentage is typically associated with structures. Based upon the review, it was determined that approximately 25% of the assessed value of developed property in the City is associated with the underlying land.
Therefore, EDUs assigned to undeveloped residential and non-residential property have been discounted by 75% to account for the differences in benefit from improvements conferred on developed and undeveloped property.
Exempt Parcels – Publicly owned properties must be assessed unless there is clear and convincing evidence that those properties receive no special benefit from the improvements. Exempted from the assessment would be the areas of public streets, public avenues, public lanes, public roads, public drives, public courts, public alleys, public easements and rights-of-ways, public greenbelts and public parkways (all of which are typically not assigned an APN by the County), and that portion of public property that is not developed and used for business purposes similar to private commercial, industrial, and institutional activities (such as office buildings like a City Hall, etc.). Also exempted from the assessment would be utility rights-of-ways, common areas, and any other property that is deemed to be unable to be developed. Also exempted from the assessments are private streets, utility easements, HOA common areas and any other parcels that do not receive a special and direct benefit from the improvements.
Furthermore, parcels within the District may be assessed as developed property once the final maps have been approved by the City of Newark and/or it is anticipated that improvements will need to be maintained or reserve funds will need to be collected for the ensuing fiscal year.
DISTRICT MAXIMUM ASSESSMENT RATES
The District will be comprised of 118 single-family residential parcels at build-out resulting in 118 EDUs. Therefore, the maximum Fiscal Year 2025-26 assessment rate is $58.26 per EDU based on the estimate of cost shown in Part B of this Report of which 62.5% has been attributed to special benefit for the District.
ANNUAL ADJUSTMENTS TO DISTRICT MAXIMUM ASSESSMENT RATES The maximum assessment rate per EDU described above will be increased annually by the annual change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI), San Francisco Bay Region (All Urban Consumers).
APPEAL OF DISTRICT ASSESSMENTS
Any property owner claiming the amount or application of their District assessment is not correct may file a written notice of appeal with the City Public Works Director not later than one calendar year after having paid the District assessment that is disputed. The City Public Works Director shall promptly review the appeal and, if necessary, meet with
CITY OF NEWARK SECTION II
LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. 20 PART D
16 the property owner, consider written and oral evidence regarding the amount of the District assessment, and decide the appeal. If the City Public Works Director’s decision requires the District assessment to be modified or changed in favor of the property owner, a refund shall be made or an adjustment may be made to the next annual District assessment levy. Any dispute over the decision of the City Public Works Director shall be referred to the City Council and the decision of the City Council shall be final.

SUBJECT Public Hearing for Landscaping and Lighting District Nos. 1, 2, 4, 7, 11, 15, 16, 17, 18 and 19 and adopt a resolution confirming diagrams and assessments and the levying and collection of assessments for Landscaping and Lighting District Nos. 1, 2, 4, 7, 11, 15, 16, 17, 18, and 19 for Fiscal Year 2025-26
SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION
The City of Newark previously completed all necessary proceedings to establish Landscaping and Lighting District Nos. 1, 2, 4, 7, 11, 15, 16, 17, 18 and 19 (collectively “Districts”) in order to fund ongoing landscaping and lighting maintenance and improvements at various locations in the City in accordance with the provisions of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972. On April 24, 2025, the City Council initiated proceedings for the levy and collection of annual assessments for each established District and directed staff to prepare and file annual Engineer’s Reports detailing such assessments for the City Council’s consideration.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
The Annual Engineer's Reports for all Districts have been filed with the City Clerk as directed. There are no new improvements or substantial changes to existing improvements associated with the Districts for Fiscal Year 2025-26. City staff recommends Fiscal Year 2025-26 assessments for the Districts be levied in alignment with recent years at or below the respective authorized maximum rates to pay for the operation and maintenance of landscaping and lighting improvements. For Landscaping and Lighting District No. 19 (Benefit Zone No. 7), City staff is proposing to levy assessments for the first time in Fiscal Year 2025-26 to begin building adequate operating and capital reserves to support the ongoing maintenance of improvements benefiting this zone.
For Landscaping and Lighting District Nos. 1, 2, 4 (Benefit Zone No. 1), 7, 11, 15, 16, 17, and 18 and 19 (Benefit Zone No. 7), the authorized maximum assessment rates are recommended to be levied for Fiscal Year 2026. For Landscaping and Lighting District Nos. 4 (Benefit Zone No. 2) and 19 (Benefit Zones Nos. 1-6), assessment rates below the authorized maximum are proposed to be levied for Fiscal Year 2025-26.
Upon conclusion of the annual public hearings, the assessments would be added to Upon conclusion of the annual public hearings, the assessments would be added to the tax bills for those property owners included within the boundaries of active districts.
Excess funds, or funds collected for which work was not completed, can be carried over from one year to the next.
FISCAL IMPACT
If assessments for the Districts are not levied, there would be a total revenue loss of approximately $426,320 for Fiscal Year 2025-26 to fund the annual operation and maintenance of certain landscaping and lighting improvements benefiting property within the Districts.
An amendment to the 2024-2026 Biennial Budget and Capital Improvement Plan for Fiscal Year 2025-26 is necessary to establish the budget and authorize the allocation of all necessary expenditures as identified in the approved annual Engineer’s Reports for Landscaping and Lighting District Nos. 1, 2, 4, 7, 11, 15, 16, 17, 18 and 19.

CITY OF NEWARK SECTION I
LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. 1 INTRODUCTION
1 SECTION I
INTRODUCTION
The City of Newark (“City”) levies and collects special assessments on parcels within the City of Newark Landscaping and Lighting District No. 1 (“District”) to maintain public improvements.
The District was formed to provide a dedicated source of funding for the ongoing maintenance of median-island and buffer landscaping and median-island streetlight improvements benefiting parcels within the boundaries of the District.
The assessments and method of apportionment described in this Report utilize commonly accepted assessment engineering practices and have been calculated and proportionately spread to each parcel based on the special benefits received as approved by the City Council at the time the District was formed.
The District generally consists of those properties both fronting and adjacent to Central Avenue and between Filbert Street to the east and Willow Street to the west. A reduced copy of the Assessment Diagram showing the exterior boundaries of the District is provided in Part C of this Report.
Compliance with the California Constitution
Assessments are levied annually within the District pursuant to the 1972 Act. All assessments described in this Report and approved by the City Council are prepared in accordance with the 1972 Act and are compliant with the provisions of the California Constitution Article XIIID (“Article XIIID”), which was enacted with the passage of Proposition 218 in November 1996.
Pursuant to Article XIIID Section 5, certain existing assessments are exempt from the substantive and procedural requirements of Article XIIID Section 4. Specifically, Article XIIID Section 5(b) exempted:
“Any assessment imposed pursuant to a petition signed by the persons owning all of the parcels subject to the assessment at the time the assessment is initially imposed. Subsequent increases in such assessment shall be subject to the procedures and approval process set forth in Section 4.” The City determined that the annual assessments originally established for the District were established by a petition signed by the persons owning all the parcels subject to the assessment at the time the assessment was originally proposed. As such, pursuant to Article XIIID Section 5(b), the pre–existing assessment amount has been exempted from the procedural requirements of Article XIIID Section 4 since the amount of the assessment has not increased since the passage of Proposition 218. Any future increase in the assessment rate or substantial changes in the services provided would require that the District be brought into compliance with all the requirements of Article XIIID and would require the approval of the property owners subject to the assessment based upon a mailed ballot which would be sent to each property owner.

Landscaping and Lighting District No. 1
Fiscal Year 2025-26 Cost Estimate
CITY OF NEWARK PART B
LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. 1 ESTIMATE OF COSTS 9 The purpose of the various reserves is to ensure the District will have funds available for cashflow purposes and to repair or reconstruct the improvements that are the responsibility of the District.
The Recommended Operating Reserve target is fifty percent (50%) of the projected expenditures. Maintaining a fully funded Operating Reserve eliminates the need for the City to transfer funds from non-District accounts to pay for operational expenses during the first half of the fiscal year and provides the District with sufficient funds to address any unforeseen or unusual expenditures that may occur during the year.
The purpose of collecting and holding funds in a Capital Reserve is so that when improvements need to be replaced or expenditures are greater than can be conveniently raised from a single year’s assessment, funds are available so that the District can respond and address the need promptly.

CITY OF NEWARK PART D
LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. 1 METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT 12 PART D
METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT OF ASSESSMENTS
This section explains the benefits to be derived from the improvements and the methodology used to apportion the total costs of the improvements to properties within the District.
The method used for apportioning the assessment is based upon the relative special benefits to be derived by the properties in the District and any established benefit zones.
The assessment is apportioned to each parcel in proportion to the relative cost of the special benefits from the improvements.
General
The 1972 Act permits the establishment of assessment districts by agencies for the purpose of providing certain public improvements which include the construction, maintenance and servicing of public lights, landscaping, and appurtenant facilities. The 1972 Act further requires that the cost of these improvements be levied according to benefit rather than assessed value:
“The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements.” The formula used for calculating assessments in the District therefore reflects the composition of the parcels, and the improvements and services provided, to fairly apportion the costs based on estimated benefit to each parcel.
In addition, the 1972 Act permits the designation of zones of benefit within any individual assessment district if “by reasons or variations in the nature, location, and extent of the improvements, the various areas will receive different degrees of benefit from the improvement.” Thus, the 1972 Act requires the levy of a true “assessment” rather than a “special tax”.
Discussion of Benefit
Each of the improvements have been carefully reviewed by the City and the corresponding assessments have been proportionately spread to each parcel based on the special benefits conferred to property from the improvements as determined at the time the District was established.
The District consists of all Assessor Parcels within the boundaries of the District. The method of apportioning costs and assessing properties is based upon the proportional special benefits to be conferred by the improvements and services to the properties within the boundaries of the District. The apportioning of special benefit is a two-step process: the first step is to identify the types of special benefits arising from the improvements and services, and the second step is to allocate the costs and assign assessments to property based on the estimates of the special benefit being conferred to each property.
CITY OF NEWARK PART D
LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. 1 METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT 13 In summary, the assessments can only be levied based on the special benefit to property conferred from the installation, maintenance, and servicing of the improvements funded by the District. These special benefits are not dependent on any one property owner's use of the District's improvements or their specific demographic status. The basis for these special benefits comes from statutes approved by the California Legislature and other studies that describe the types of benefits received by property from such improvements. The identified special benefits conferred to property from the improvements can be summarized as follows:
• Improved aesthetics:
o Well-maintained and attractive landscaping enhances the overall appearance and desirability of the area, making it visually appealing to property owners and visitors.
o Well-lit medians contribute to property visibility, especially during nighttime, benefiting businesses or properties seeking attention and attracting customers. It also adds to the visual appeal, attractiveness, and inviting nature of the area.
• Increased property values:
o Attractive and well-maintained landscaping can increase the desirability of nearby properties, potentially leading to higher property values. o Well-maintained and well-lit medians can have a positive impact on property values in the surrounding area. Adequate lighting is seen as a desirable feature, making properties more appealing to potential buyers or tenants. • Safety:
o Median and buffer landscaping helps calm traffic and reduce speeds, creating a safer environment for people traveling to and from properties within the District. It also acts as a physical buffer between roadways and properties within the District.
o Well-lit medians contribute to improved safety for both motorists and pedestrians traveling to and from properties within the District. Adequate lighting enhances visibility, reducing the risk of accidents and improving overall traffic safety. It also facilitates easier access to adjacent properties. • Noise reduction:
o Trees and plants help absorb traffic noise and create a buffer between the road and nearby properties, reducing noise levels and creating a more peaceful environment.
• Reduced pollution:
o Trees and plants aid in filtering pollutants from the air, improving air quality and creating a healthier environment for properties in proximity to the landscape.
CITY OF NEWARK PART D
LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. 1 METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT 14 These benefits, when applied to property in the District, specifically increase the utility of the property within the District. For example, the assessments provide funding to maintain the landscaping and lighting that improves safety and access to the property and provides visual and environmental benefits to the properties within the District. Such improved and wellmaintained public facilities enhance the overall usability, quality, desirability, and safety of the properties.
Method of Assessment
This process of apportioning assessments to each property involves determining the relative special benefit received by each property from the improvements and services. The City and Engineer of Work at the time of District formation determined that each property’s linear foot of frontage along Willow Avenue receives a similar benefit from the improvements.
Therefore, it was determined that the most appropriate method of apportioning costs was to assess properties based on a front footage basis for all parcels fronting Central Avenue between Filbert Street and Willow Street. This methodology is commonly used to distribute assessments in proportion to estimated special benefit and is generally recognized as providing the basis for a fair and appropriate distribution of assessments.
In Fiscal Year 2025-26, the City proposes to collect the maximum assessment revenue from the assessable parcels located in the District, which amounts to $6.01 per linear foot of frontage to be levied. A listing of each assessable parcel and their proposed Fiscal Year 2025-26 assessment is on the Assessment Roll in Part E of this Report.
Exempted from the assessment would be the areas of public streets, public avenues, public lanes, public roads, public drives, public courts, public alleys, public easements and rightsof-ways, public greenbelts, and public parkways (all of which are typically not assigned an Assessor’s Parcel Number (APN) by the County). Also exempted from the assessment would be public agency owned property, utility rights-of-ways, common areas (such as in condominium complexes or those that are owned by a Homeowner’s or Property Owner’s Association), and any other property that is deemed to be unable to develop by the City.
These types of parcels do not benefit from the improvements.
Appeals and Interpretations
Any property owner who feels the assessment levied on the subject property is in error because of incorrect information being used to apply the foregoing method of assessment, may file a written appeal with the City Engineer or his or her designee. Any such appeal is limited to correction of an assessment during the then current or, if before July 1, the upcoming fiscal year. Upon the filing of any such appeal, the City Engineer or his or her designee will promptly review the appeal and any information provided by the property owner. If the City Engineer or his or her designee finds that the assessment should be modified, the appropriate changes shall be made to the assessment roll. If any such changes are approved after the assessment roll has been filed with the County for collection, the City Engineer or his or her designee is authorized to refund to the property owner the amount of any approved reduction. Any property owner who disagrees with the decision of the City Engineer or her or his designee may refer their appeal to the City Council and the decision of the City Council shall be final.

CITY OF NEWARK SECTION I
LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. 2 INTRODUCTION
1 SECTION I
INTRODUCTION
The City of Newark (“City”) levies and collects special assessments on parcels within the City of Newark Landscaping and Lighting District No. 2 (“District”) to maintain public improvements. The District was formed to provide a dedicated source of funding for the ongoing maintenance of landscaping improvements within the public right-of-way within the boundaries of the District.
The assessments and method of apportionment described in this Report utilize commonly accepted assessment engineering practices and have been calculated and proportionately spread to each parcel based on the special benefits received as approved by the City Council at the time the District was formed.
The District generally consists of those properties west of Jarvis Avenue, north of the railroad tracks, east of California State Route 84, and south of the City owned parcel at the corner of Jarvis Avenue and Cardiff Street. A reduced copy of the Assessment Diagram showing the exterior boundaries of the District is provided in Part C of this Report.
Compliance with the California Constitution
Assessments are levied annually within the District pursuant to the 1972 Act. All assessments described in this Report and approved by the City Council are prepared in accordance with the 1972 Act and are compliant with the provisions of the California Constitution Article XIIID (“Article XIIID”), which was enacted with the passage of Proposition 218 in November 1996. Pursuant to Article XIIID Section 5, certain existing assessments are exempt from the substantive and procedural requirements of Article XIIID Section 4. Specifically, Article XIIID Section 5(a) exempted:
“Any assessment imposed exclusively to finance the capital costs or maintenance and operation expenses for sidewalks, streets, sewers, water, flood control, drainage systems or vector control. Subsequent increases in such assessments shall be subject to the procedures and approval process set forth in Section 4.”
The City determined that the annual assessments originally established for the District were for the maintenance and operation of landscape and medians within the public street rightsof-way. As such, pursuant to Article XIIID Section 5(a), the pre–existing assessment amount has been exempted from the procedural requirements of Article XIIID Section 4 since the amount of the assessment has not increased since the passage of Proposition 218. Any future increase in the assessment rate or substantial changes in the services provided would require that the District be brought into compliance with all the requirements of Article XIIID and would require the approval of the property owners subject to the assessment based upon a mailed ballot which would be sent to each property owner.

ESTIMATE OF COSTS
The 1972 Act requires that a special fund be set up for the collection of revenues and expenditures of the District. The Act provides that the total cost of construction, operation, and maintenance and servicing of the public improvements specified in Part A of this Report can be recovered by the District. Incidental expenses including administration of the District, engineering fees, legal fees and all other costs associated with the construction, operation and maintenance and servicing of the Districts can also be included.
The 1972 Act also requires that a special fund be set up for the revenues and expenditures of the District. Funds raised from the assessments shall be used only for the expenditures represented above. A contribution to the District by the City may be made to reduce assessments as the City deems appropriate. Any balance remaining on July 1 at the end of the fiscal year must be carried over to the next fiscal year unless the funds are being accumulated for future capital replacement projects or operating reserves.
The following table provides a summary of the estimated District revenues and cost estimates for Fiscal Year 2025-26.

CITY OF NEWARK PART B
LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. 2 ESTIMATE OF COSTS 9 The purpose of the various reserves is to ensure the District will have funds available for cashflow purposes and to repair or reconstruct the improvements that are the responsibility of the District.
The Recommended Operating Reserve target is fifty percent (50%) of the projected expenditures. Maintaining a fully funded Operating Reserve eliminates the need for the City to transfer funds from non-District accounts to pay for operational expenses during the first half of the fiscal year and provides the District with sufficient funds to address any unforeseen or unusual expenditures that may occur during the year.
The purpose of collecting and holding funds in a Capital Reserve is so that when improvements need to be replaced or expenditures that are greater than can be conveniently raised from a single year’s assessment, funds are available so that the District can respond and address the need promptly.

CITY OF NEWARK PART D
LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. 2 METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT 12 PART D
METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT OF ASSESSMENTS
This section explains the benefits to be derived from the improvements and the methodology used to apportion the total costs of the improvements to properties within the District.
The method used for apportioning the assessment is based upon the relative special benefits to be derived by the properties in the District and any established benefit zones.
The assessment is apportioned to each parcel in proportion to the relative cost of the special benefits from the improvements.
General
The 1972 Act permits the establishment of assessment districts by agencies for the purpose of providing certain public improvements which include the construction, maintenance and servicing of public lights, landscaping, and appurtenant facilities. The 1972 Act further requires that the cost of these improvements be levied according to benefit rather than assessed value:
“The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements.” The formula used for calculating assessments in the District therefore reflects the composition of the parcels, and the improvements and services provided, to fairly apportion the costs based on estimated benefit to each parcel.
In addition, the 1972 Act permits the designation of zones of benefit within any individual assessment district if “by reasons or variations in the nature, location, and extent of the improvements, the various areas will receive different degrees of benefit from the improvement.” Thus, the 1972 Act requires the levy of a true “assessment” rather than a “special tax”.
Discussion of Benefit
Each of the improvements have been carefully reviewed by the City and the corresponding assessments have been proportionately spread to each parcel based on the special benefits conferred to property from the improvements as determined at the time the District was established.
The District consists of all Assessor Parcels within the boundaries of the District. The method of apportioning costs and assessing properties is based upon the proportional special benefits to be conferred by the improvements and services to the properties within the boundaries of the District. The apportioning of special benefit is a two-step process:
the first step is to identify the types of special benefits arising from the improvements and
CITY OF NEWARK PART D
LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. 2 METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT 13 services, and the second step is to allocate the costs and assign assessments to property based on the estimates of the special benefit being conferred to each property.
In summary, the assessments can only be levied based on the special benefit to property conferred from the installation, maintenance, and servicing of the improvements funded by the District. These special benefits are not dependent on any one property owner's use of the District's improvements or their specific demographic status. The basis for these special benefits comes from statutes approved by the California Legislature and other studies that describe the types of benefits received by property from such improvements.
The identified special benefits conferred to property from the improvements can be summarized as follows:
• Improved aesthetics:
o Well-maintained and attractive landscaping enhances the overall appearance and desirability of the area, making it visually appealing to property owners and visitors.
• Increased property values:
o Attractive and well-maintained landscaping can increase the desirability of nearby properties, potentially leading to higher property values. • Safety:
o Median landscaping helps calm traffic and reduce speeds, creating a safer environment for people traveling to and from properties within the District. It also acts as a physical buffer between roadways and properties within the District.
• Noise reduction:
o Trees and plants help absorb traffic noise and create a buffer between the road and nearby properties, reducing noise levels and creating a more peaceful environment.
• Reduced pollution:
o Trees and plants aid in filtering pollutants from the air, improving air quality and creating a healthier environment for properties in proximity to the landscape.
These benefits, when applied to property in the District, specifically increase the utility of the property within the District. For example, the assessments provide funding to maintain the landscaping that improves safety and access to the property and provides visual and environmental benefits to the properties within the District. Such improved and wellmaintained public facilities enhance the overall usability, quality, desirability, and safety of the properties.
CITY OF NEWARK PART D
LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. 2 METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT 14 Method of Assessment
This process of apportioning assessments to each property involves determining the relative special benefit received by each property from the improvements and services.
Therefore, the City and Engineer of Work at the time of District formation determined the project costs related to Jarvis Avenue west of Dumbarton Court and for Dumbarton Court, including a proportionate share of the incidental expenses will be spread on the basis of area to lots which front Jarvis Avenue and Dumbarton Court. Project costs related to improvements on Jarvis Avenue east of Dumbarton Court and on Newark Boulevard, including a proportionate share of incidental expenses will be spread to properties fronting this segment of Jarvis Avenue and Newark Boulevard on the basis of area, but after buildings are constructed, these costs are to be spread on the basis of building square footage, with costs allocated to undeveloped property based on the maximum building size permitted on the parcel. This methodology distributes assessments in proportion to the estimated special benefit conferred to property and is generally recognized as providing the basis for a fair and appropriate distribution of assessments.
In Fiscal Year 2025-26, the maximum allowable assessment for each assessable parcel within the District is needed to cover the annual costs. A listing of each assessable parcel and their proposed Fiscal Year 2025-26 assessment is on the Assessment Roll in Part E of this Report.
Exempted from the assessment would be the areas of public streets, public avenues, public lanes, public roads, public drives, public courts, public alleys, public easements and rights-of-ways, public greenbelts, and public parkways (all of which are typically not assigned an Assessor’s Parcel Number (APN) by the County). Also exempted from the assessment would be public agency owned property, utility rights-of-ways, common areas (such as in condominium complexes or those that are owned by a Homeowner’s or Property Owner’s Association), and any other property that is deemed to be unable to develop by the City. These types of parcels do not benefit from the improvements.
Appeals and Interpretations
Any property owner who feels that the assessment levied on the subject property is in error because of incorrect information being used to apply the foregoing method of assessment, may file a written appeal with City Engineer or his or her designee. Any such appeal is limited to correction of an assessment during the then current or, if before July 1, the upcoming fiscal year. Upon the filing of any such appeal, the City Engineer or his or her designee will promptly review the appeal and any information provided by the property owner. If the City Engineer or his or her designee finds that the assessment should be modified, the appropriate changes shall be made to the assessment roll. If any such changes are approved after the assessment roll has been filed with the County for collection, the City Engineer or his or her designee is authorized to refund to the property owner the amount of any approved reduction. Any property owner who disagrees with the decision of the City Engineer or her or his designee may refer their appeal to the City Council and the decision of the City Council shall be final.

CITY OF NEWARK SECTION I
LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. 4 INTRODUCTION
1 SECTION I
INTRODUCTION
The City of Newark (“City”) levies and collects special assessments on parcels within the City of Newark Landscaping and Lighting District No. 4 (“District”) to maintain public improvements.
The District was formed to provide a dedicated source of funding for the ongoing maintenance of median-island and buffer landscape, streetlight, and park improvements benefiting parcels within the boundaries of the District. Since formation, an additional zone of benefit was created on September 14, 2017.
Following annexation of the zone of benefit referenced above, the District consists of the following two (2) zones of benefit:
• Zone 1 (New Technology Park and Stevenson Point Techpark) The area includes office, commercial, and institutional establishments in the City known as the New Technology Park and the Stevenson Point Techpark. • Zone 2 (Sanctuary)
The Sanctuary development includes Tract 8270 and is comprised of 386 single family homes and private roads.
The assessments and method of apportionment described in this Report utilize commonly accepted assessment engineering practices and have been calculated and proportionately spread to each parcel based on the special benefits received as approved by the City Council at the time the District was formed and the additional zone of benefit was established.
The District generally consists of those properties south of Cherry Street, west of Stevenson Boulevard, north of the railroad tracks and east of Mowry Avenue. A reduced copy of the Assessment Diagram showing the exterior boundaries of the District and each zone of benefit is provided in Part C of this Report.
Impacts of Proposition 218
On November 5, 1996 California voters approved Proposition 218 entitled "Right to Vote on Taxes Act" which added Articles XIIIC and XIIID to the California Constitution. While its title refers only to taxes, Proposition 218 established new procedural requirements for the formation and administration of assessment districts.
These new procedures stipulate that even if assessments are initially exempt from Proposition 218, future increases in assessments must comply with the provisions of Proposition 218.
However, if the increase in assessments were anticipated in the assessment formula (e.g., CPI increase or assessment cap) then the assessment would comply with the intent and provisions of Proposition 218.

CITY OF NEWARK PART B
LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. 4 ESTIMATE OF COSTS 10 The purpose of the various reserves is to ensure the District will have funds available for cashflow purposes and to repair or reconstruct the improvements that are the responsibility of the District.
The Recommended Operating Reserve target is fifty percent (50%) of the projected expenditures. Maintaining a fully funded Operating Reserve eliminates the need for the City to transfer funds from non-District accounts to pay for operational expenses during the first half of the fiscal year and provides the District with sufficient funds to address any unforeseen or unusual expenditures that may occur during the year.
The purpose of collecting and holding funds in a Capital Reserve is so that when improvements need to be replaced or expenditures are greater than can be conveniently raised from a single year’s assessment, funds are available so that the District can respond and address the need promptly.

CITY OF NEWARK PART D
LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. 4 METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT 13 PART D
METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT OF ASSESSMENTS
This section explains the benefits to be derived from the improvements and the methodology used to apportion the total costs of the improvements to properties within the District.
The method used for apportioning the assessment is based upon the relative special benefits to be derived by the properties in the District and any established benefit zones.
The assessment is apportioned to each parcel in proportion to the relative cost of the special benefits from the improvements.
General
The 1972 Act permits the establishment of assessment districts by agencies for the purpose of providing certain public improvements which include the construction, maintenance and servicing of streetlights, landscaping, parks, trails, open space, and appurtenant facilities.
The 1972 Act further requires that the cost of these improvements be levied according to benefit rather than assessed value:
“The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements.” The formula used for calculating assessments in the District therefore needs to reflect the composition of the parcels, and the improvements and services provided, to fairly apportion the costs based on estimated benefit to each parcel.
In addition, Article XIIID, of the California Constitution limits the amount of any assessment to the proportional “special benefit” conferred on the property. Article XIIID provides that only special benefits are assessable, and the City must separate the general benefits from the special benefits conferred on a parcel. There is no widely accepted or statutory formula for determining general and special benefit. However, the constitution states that a special benefit is different from a general benefit in that it is “particular and distinct” and “over and above” general benefits received by other properties.
The 1972 Act permits the designation of zones of benefit within any individual assessment district if “by reasons or variations in the nature, location, and extent of the improvements, the various areas will receive different degrees of benefit from the improvement.” Thus, the 1972 Act requires the levy of a true “assessment” rather than a “special tax”.
Article XIIID provides that publicly owned properties must be assessed unless there is clear and convincing evidence that those properties receive no special benefit from the assessment. Exempted from the assessment would be the areas of public streets, public avenues, public lanes, public roads, public drives, public courts, public alleys, public easements and rights-of-ways, public greenbelts and public parkways, utility easements,
CITY OF NEWARK PART D
LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. 4 METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT 14 and that portion of public property that is not developed and used for business purposes similar to private residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional activities.
The amount to be assessed may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the amount among all assessable lots or parcels. In order for the City to separate out the general and special benefits for each improvement type, an analysis of each improvement was conducted. The analysis reviewed the purpose and users of each improvement, and then identified the properties that may benefit from the improvement both within and outside the City and within and outside each zone of benefit, and then allocated the costs to maintain, service, and replace each improvement type to each identified property. Because general benefits are not assessable, any costs associated with general benefits or special benefits assigned to properties within and outside the City and not in a District zone of benefit are to be paid for by the City. Only the costs associated with the special benefits conferred on property within each zone of benefit from the authorized improvements are assessable, and therefore assessed herein. A full analysis showing the quantification and separation of special and general benefits performed by the City and Engineer of Work at the time of the establishment of Benefit Zone 2 (Sanctuary) can be found in the Engineer’s Report prepared at the time of establishing Zone 2 (Sanctuary). A summary of the analysis by improvement type funded by District assessments is described below.
Special Benefit
Each of the improvements have been carefully reviewed by the City and the corresponding assessments have been proportionately spread to each parcel based on the special benefits conferred to property from the improvements as determined at the time the District and the subsequent zone of benefit was established.
The District consists of all Assessor Parcels within the boundaries of a zone of benefit. The method of apportioning costs and assessing properties is based upon the proportional special benefits to be conferred by the improvements and services within each zone of benefit to the properties within the boundaries of the District‘s zones of benefit. The apportioning of special benefit is a two-step process: the first step is to identify the types of special benefits arising from the improvements and services, and the second step is to allocate the costs and assign assessments to property based on the estimates of the special benefit being conferred to each property.
In determining the proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel, the proximity of the parcel to the public improvements detailed in Part A above, and the capital, maintenance, and operating costs of said public improvements, was considered and analyzed. Due to the close proximity of the parcels to the improvements detailed in Part A above, it has been demonstrated and determined that the parcels are uniquely benefited by, and receive a direct advantage from, and are conferred a particular and distinct special benefit over and above general benefits by said public improvements in a way that is particular and distinct from its effect on other parcels, and that real property in general and the public at large do not share.
CITY OF NEWARK PART D
LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. 4 METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT 15 In summary, the assessments can only be levied based on the special benefit to property conferred from the installation, maintenance, and servicing of the improvements funded by each zone of benefit within the District. These special benefits are not dependent on any one property owner's use of each zone of benefit’s improvements or their specific demographic status. The basis for these special benefits comes from statutes approved by the California Legislature and other studies that describe the types of benefits received by property from such improvements. The identified special benefits conferred to property from the improvements are summarized as follows.
Special Benefit from Landscape Maintenance
All parcels within the District, specifically, Zone 1 (New Technology Park and Stevenson Point Techpark) and Zone 2 (Sanctuary), receive special benefit from Landscape Maintenance. Trees, landscaping, hardscapes, ornamental structures, and appurtenant facilities, if well maintained, confer a particular and distinct special benefit upon real property within the zones of benefit by providing beautification, shade and positive enhancement of the community character, attractiveness, and desirability of the surroundings. In addition, all the aforementioned contribute to a specific increase in property desirability and a specific enhancement of the property value of each parcel within each zone of benefit within the District.
In Parkways and Land Values, written by John Nolan and Henry V. Hubbard in 1937, it is stated:
" ... there is no lack of opinion, based on general principles and experience and common sense, that parkways do in fact add value to property, even though the amount cannot be determined exactly .... Indeed, in most cases where public money has been spent on parkways the assumption has been made that the proposed parkway will show a provable financial profit to the City. It has been believed that the establishment of parkways causes a rise in real estate values throughout the City, or in parts of the City, ... " It should be noted that the definition of "parkways" above may include the roadway as well as the landscaping alongside the roadway.
Special Benefit from Street Lighting Maintenance
All parcels within Zone 2 of the District receive special benefit from Street Lighting Maintenance. The special benefit from street lighting can be measured by increased safety to people and property, as well as the increased availability of lighting. The safety to people results in a special benefit to residential parcels because street lighting improves traffic safety during ingress and egress to the property and creates a deterrent to crime on the property. The safety to property results in a special benefit to both residential and vacant and undeveloped parcels because street lighting operation, maintenance and servicing provides for the protection of buildings and personal property against crimes such as theft and vandalism.
CITY OF NEWARK PART D
LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. 4 METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT 16 Special Benefit from Park Maintenance
All parcels within Zone 2 (Sanctuary) receive special benefit from Park Maintenance. The overall quality of life and desirability of an area is enhanced, when public parks and recreational facilities are in place, improved, operable, safe, clean, and properly maintained.
Conversely, property desirability decreases when park and recreational facilities are unsafe or destroyed by the elements or vandalism.
Property desirability in an area also increases when there is an increase in the number of parks, recreation centers and sports facilities. These park and recreational facilities enable property owners to participate in sporting events, leisure activities, picnics, organized social events, and other miscellaneous activities.
Studies in several communities, including counties and cities throughout the United States, have indicated that recreation areas and facilities, if well maintained and wisely administered, have caused a marked increase in the property values of parcels in the community. Consequently, such recreation and park facilities have proved a potent factor in maintaining a sound economic condition and a high standard of livability in the community.
These studies confirm the opinion, long held by planning authorities, as to the economic value of parks and recreational facilities in a community. “The recreation value is realized as a rise in the value of land and other property in or near the recreation area, and is of both private interest to the landowner and others, holding an economic stake in the area, and of public interest to the taxpayers, who have a stake ...." (National Recreation and Park Association, June 1985)
“Recreation and park amenities are central components in establishing the quality of life in a community. ... [Businesses’] main resource is their employees for whom quality of life is an important issue… The availability and attractiveness of local parks and programs influences some companies’ relocation decisions. ... the presence of a park encourages real estate development around it.... ". (California Parks & Recreation, Winter 1997) The benefit of parks and other recreational facilities to residential and the surrounding commercial/industrial properties in Zone 1 (New Technology Park and Stevenson Point Techpark) is supported and has been summarized by several studies. The United States Department of the Interior, National Park Service, in a publication of June 1984, concluded the following:
• Parks and recreation stimulate business and generate tax revenues • Parks and recreation help conserve land, energy, and resources • An investment in parks and recreation helps reduce pollution and noise, makes communities more livable, and increases property values • Public recreation benefits all employers by providing continuing opportunities to maintain a level of fitness throughout one's working life, and through helping individuals cope with the stress of a fast-paced and demanding life
CITY OF NEWARK PART D
LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. 4 METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT 17 Proper maintenance and operation of the parks within the City benefits those properties within the service areas of the parks by providing environmental quality and recreational enhancement.
Special Benefit to Parcels Outside of the District
There are parcels outside Zone 2 (Sanctuary) that receive special benefit from some of the improvements (e.g., parks, etc.). Based on the analysis performed at the time of the establishment of Zone 2 (Sanctuary), it was determined that 11.06% of the annual costs from the improvements associated with Zone 2 (Sanctuary) are attributable to special benefits to parcels outside of Zone 2 (Sanctuary).
The share of cost attributable to special benefits conferred to parcels outside of Zone 2 (Sanctuary) cannot be assessed to properties within the specific zone, but are required to be paid by some other source, such as the City’s General Fund.
General Benefit
In the context of assessments, a general benefit is a benefit enjoyed by the community, or the public at large rather than a special benefit that is specifically conferred to individual properties. The Engineer of Work at the time of establishing Zone 2 (Sanctuary) performed an analysis and determined there are general benefits conferred from the District improvements to the public at large. Based on this analysis performed by the Engineer of Work, 2.26% of annual costs associated with the District and related improvements are attributable to general benefits received by the public at large. The share of costs attributable to the general benefits of each zone of benefit cannot be assessed to properties within each specific zone, but are required to be paid by some other source, such as the City’s General Fund.
Method of Assessment
This process of apportioning assessments to each property involves determining the relative special benefit received by each property from the improvements and services. Since the assessment will be levied against parcels of property as shown on the tax roll, the final charges must be assigned by Assessor's Parcel Number. If assessments were to be spread just by parcel, not considering land use or parcel size, a single family parcel would be paying the same as a 50 unit apartment parcel or a large commercial establishment and this would not be equitable.
Therefore, the City and Engineer of Work at the time of formation of Zone 1 (New Technology Park and Stevenson Point Techpark) determined that the most appropriate method of apportioning costs was to segregate the costs associated with New Technology Park from the Stevenson Point Techpark and then spread the specific costs on an acreage basis to the benefiting parcels adjacent and in proximity to the improvements. However, the parcels south of Zone 2 east of Addition Road and west of Eureka Drive benefit from all Zone 1 improvements and are therefore apportioned costs associated with the improvements for both New Technology Park and Stevenson Point Techpark.
CITY OF NEWARK PART D
LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. 4 METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT 18 Furthermore, the City and Engineer at the time of establishing Zone 2 (Sanctuary) determined the most appropriate method of apportioning costs was to spread all Zone 2 (Sanctuary) specific costs equally to all single-family residential homes. Publicly owned properties within the District must be assessed unless there is clear and convincing evidence that those properties receive no special benefit from the improvements. Exempted from the assessment would be the areas of public streets, public avenues, public lanes, public roads, public drives, public courts, public alleys, public easements and rights-of-ways, public greenbelts, public parkways, public property designated open space, and any portion of public property that is not used for business purposes similar to private residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional activities. Also exempted from the assessments are private streets, utility easements, Homeowner’s Association common areas (except club houses, community centers, parking lots, etc.) and any other parcels that do not receive a special and direct benefit from the improvements.
Parcels within each zone may be assessed once it is anticipated that improvements will need to be maintained or reserve funds will need to be collected for the ensuing fiscal year(s). The table below summarizes both the maximum and applied assessment rates for each zone for Fiscal Year 2025-26.
Maximum Assessment Rate Increases
The maximum assessment rates for Zone 1 (New Technology Park and Stevenson Point Techpark) may not be increased annually without property owner approval through a successful Proposition 218 proceeding. However, the maximum annual assessment rate for Zone 2 (Sanctuary) may be adjusted annually by the greater of the annual increase in the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Consumer Price Index for the month of February, All Urban Consumers for the San Francisco/Oakland/San Jose area, or 3%.
Appeals and Interpretations
Any property owner who feels that the assessment levied on the subject property is in error because of incorrect information being used to apply the foregoing method of assessment, may file a written appeal with City Engineer or his or her designee. Any such appeal is limited to correction of an assessment during the then current or, if before July 1, the upcoming fiscal year. Upon the filing of any such appeal, the City Engineer or his or her designee will promptly review the appeal and any information provided by the property owner. If the City Engineer or his or her designee finds that the assessment should be modified, the appropriate changes shall be made to the assessment roll. If any such changes are approved after the assessment roll has been filed with the County for collection, the City Engineer or his or her designee is authorized to refund to the property owner the amount of any approved reduction. Any property owner who disagrees with the decision of the City Engineer or her or his designee may refer their appeal to the City Council and the decision of the City Council shall be final.

CITY OF NEWARK SECTION I
LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. 7 INTRODUCTION
1 SECTION I
INTRODUCTION
The City of Newark (“City”) levies and collects special assessments on parcels within the City of Newark Landscaping and Lighting District No. 7 (“District”) to maintain public improvements.
The District was formed to provide a dedicated source of funding for the ongoing maintenance of streetlights and landscaping improvements within the public right-of-way benefiting parcels within the boundaries of the District.
The assessments and method of apportionment described in this Report utilize commonly accepted assessment engineering practices and have been calculated and proportionately spread to each parcel based on the special benefits received as approved by the City Council at the time the District was formed.
The District generally consists of those properties along and adjacent to Newark Boulevard between Jarvis Avenue and Cedar Boulevard. A reduced copy of the Assessment Diagram showing the exterior boundaries of the District is provided in Part C of this Report.
Compliance with the California Constitution
Assessments are levied annually within the District pursuant to the 1972 Act. All assessments described in this Report and approved by the City Council are prepared in accordance with the 1972 Act and are compliant with the provisions of the California Constitution Article XIIID (“Article XIIID”), which was enacted with the passage of Proposition 218 in November 1996.
Pursuant to Article XIIID Section 5, certain existing assessments are exempt from the substantive and procedural requirements of Article XIIID Section 4. Specifically, Article XIIID Section 5(a) exempted:
“Any assessment imposed exclusively to finance the capital costs or maintenance and operation expenses for sidewalks, streets, sewers, water, flood control, drainage systems or vector control. Subsequent increases in such assessments shall be subject to the procedures and approval process set forth in Section 4.”
The City determined that the annual assessments originally established for the District were for the maintenance and operation of landscape and medians within the public street rights-ofway. As such, pursuant to Article XIIID Section 5(a), the pre–existing assessment amount has been exempted from the procedural requirements of Article XIIID Section 4 since the amount of the assessment has not increased since the passage of Proposition 218.
Any future increase in the assessment rate or substantial changes in the services provided would require that the District be brought into compliance with all the requirements of Article XIIID and would require the approval of the property owners subject to the assessment based upon a mailed ballot which would be sent to each property owner.

ESTIMATE OF COSTS
The 1972 Act requires that a special fund be set up for the collection of revenues and expenditures of the District. The Act provides that the total cost of construction, operation, and maintenance and servicing of the public improvements specified in Part A of this Report can be recovered by the District. Incidental expenses including administration of the District, engineering fees, legal fees and all other costs associated with the construction, operation and maintenance and servicing of the Districts can also be included.
The 1972 Act also requires that a special fund be set up for the revenues and expenditures of the District.

CITY OF NEWARK PART B
LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. 7 ESTIMATE OF COSTS 9 The purpose of the various reserves is to ensure the District will have funds available for cashflow purposes and to repair or reconstruct the improvements that are the responsibility of the District.
The Recommended Operating Reserve target is fifty percent (50%) of the projected expenditures. Maintaining a fully funded Operating Reserve eliminates the need for the City to transfer funds from non-District accounts to pay for operational expenses during the first half of the fiscal year and provides the District with sufficient funds to address any unforeseen or unusual expenditures that may occur during the year.
The purpose of collecting and holding funds in a Capital Reserve is so that when improvements need to be replaced or expenditures that are greater than can be conveniently raised from a single year’s assessment, funds are available so that the District can respond and address the need promptly.

CITY OF NEWARK PART D
LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. 7 METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT 12 PART D
METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT OF ASSESSMENTS
This section explains the benefits to be derived from the improvements and the methodology used to apportion the total costs of the improvements to properties within the District.
The method used for apportioning the assessment is based upon the relative special benefits to be derived by the properties in the District and any established benefit zones.
The assessment is apportioned to each parcel in proportion to the relative cost of the special benefits from the improvements.
General
The 1972 Act permits the establishment of assessment districts by agencies for the purpose of providing certain public improvements which include the construction, maintenance, and servicing of public lights, landscaping, and appurtenant facilities. The 1972 Act further requires the cost of these improvements be levied according to benefit rather than assessed value:
“The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements.” The formula used for calculating assessments in the District therefore reflects the composition of the parcels, and the improvements and services provided, to fairly apportion the costs based on estimated benefit to each parcel.
In addition, the 1972 Act permits the designation of zones of benefit within any individual assessment district if “by reasons or variations in the nature, location, and extent of the improvements, the various areas will receive different degrees of benefit from the improvement.” Thus, the 1972 Act requires the levy of a true “assessment” rather than a “special tax”.
Discussion of Benefit
Each of the improvements have been carefully reviewed by the City and the corresponding assessments have been proportionately spread to each parcel based on the special benefits conferred to property from the improvements as determined at the time the District was established. The District consists of all Assessor Parcels within the boundaries of the District. The method of apportioning costs and assessing properties is based upon the proportional special benefits to be conferred by the improvements and services to the properties within the boundaries of the District. The apportioning of special benefit is a twostep process: the first step is to identify the types of special benefits arising from the improvements and services, and the second step is to allocate the costs and assign assessments to property based on the estimates of the special benefit being conferred to each property.
CITY OF NEWARK PART D
LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. 7 METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT 13 In summary, the assessments can only be levied based on the special benefit to property conferred from the installation, maintenance, and servicing of the improvements funded by the District. These special benefits are not dependent on any one property owner's use of the District's improvements or their specific demographic status. The basis for these special benefits comes from statutes approved by the California Legislature and other studies that describe the types of benefits received by property from such improvements. The identified special benefits conferred to property from the improvements can be summarized as follows:
• Improved aesthetics:
o Well-maintained and attractive landscaping enhances the overall appearance and desirability of the area, making it visually appealing to property owners and visitors.
• Increased property values:
o Attractive and well-maintained landscaping can increase the desirability of nearby properties, potentially leading to higher property values. • Safety:
o Landscaping helps calm traffic and reduce speeds, creating a safer environment for people traveling to and from properties within the District. It also acts as a physical buffer between roadways and properties within the District.
• Noise reduction:
o Trees and plants help absorb traffic noise and create a buffer between the road and nearby properties, reducing noise levels and creating a more peaceful environment.
• Reduced pollution:
o Trees and plants aid in filtering pollutants from the air, improving air quality and creating a healthier environment for properties in proximity to the landscape.
These benefits, when applied to property in the District, specifically increase the utility of the property within the District. For example, the assessments provide funding to maintain the landscaping that improves safety and access to the property and provides visual and environmental benefits to the properties within the District. Such improved and wellmaintained public facilities enhance the overall usability, quality, desirability, and safety of the properties.
CITY OF NEWARK PART D
LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. 7 METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT 14 Method of Assessment
This process of apportioning assessments to each property involves determining the relative special benefit received by each property from the improvements and services. Therefore, the City and Engineer at the time of formation determined the costs of maintaining landscaping was to be spread proportionately based on each property’s gross square footage of the buildings, or on a building square footage basis. Costs will be apportioned to any undeveloped or vacant parcels based on the maximum building size permitted by the City on the parcel. This methodology distributes assessments in proportion to the estimated special benefit conferred to property and is generally recognized as providing the basis for a fair and appropriate distribution of assessments.
In Fiscal Year 2025-26, the City proposes to collect the maximum assessment revenue from the assessable parcels located in the District, which amounts to $0.187 per building square foot to be levied. A listing of each assessable parcel and their proposed Fiscal Year 2025- 26 assessment is on the Assessment Roll in Part E of this Report.
Exempted from the assessment would be the areas of public streets, public avenues, public lanes, public roads, public drives, public courts, public alleys, public easements and rightsof-ways, public greenbelts, and public parkways (all of which are typically not assigned an Assessor’s Parcel Number (APN) by the County). Also exempted from the assessment would be public agency owned property, utility rights-of-ways, common areas (such as in condominium complexes or those that are owned by a Homeowner’s or Property Owner’s Association), and any other property that is deemed to be unable to develop by the City.
These types of parcels do not benefit from the improvements.
Appeals and Interpretations
Any property owner who feels that the assessment levied on the subject property is in error because of incorrect information being used to apply the foregoing method of assessment, may file a written appeal with City Engineer or his or her designee. Any such appeal is limited to correction of an assessment during the then current or, if before July 1, the upcoming fiscal year. Upon the filing of any such appeal, the City Engineer or his or her designee will promptly review the appeal and any information provided by the property owner. If the City Engineer or his or her designee finds that the assessment should be modified, the appropriate changes shall be made to the assessment roll. If any such changes are approved after the assessment roll has been filed with the County for collection, the City Engineer or his or her designee is authorized to refund to the property owner the amount of any approved reduction. Any property owner who disagrees with the decision of the City Engineer or her or his designee may refer their appeal to the City Council and the decision of the City Council shall be final.

Assessments are levied annually within the District pursuant to the 1972 Act. All assessments described in this Report and approved by the City Council are prepared in accordance with the 1972 Act and are compliant with the provisions of the California Constitution Article XIIID (“Article XIIID”), which was enacted with the passage of Proposition 218 in November 1996. Pursuant to Article XIIID Section 5, certain existing assessments are exempt from the substantive and procedural requirements of Article XIIID Section 4. Specifically, Article XIIID Section 5(a) exempted:
“Any assessment imposed exclusively to finance the capital costs or maintenance and operation expenses for sidewalks, streets, sewers, water, flood control, drainage systems or vector control. Subsequent increases in such assessments shall be subject to the procedures and approval process set forth in Section 4.”
The City determined the annual assessments originally established for the District were for the maintenance and operation of landscape and medians within the public street rights-ofway. As such, pursuant to Article XIIID Section 5(a), the pre–existing assessment amount has been exempted from the procedural requirements of Article XIIID Section 4 since the amount of the assessment has not increased since the passage of Proposition 218.
Any future increase in the assessment rate or substantial changes in the services provided would require that the District be brought into compliance with all the requirements of Article XIIID and would require the approval of the property owners subject to the assessment based upon a mailed ballot which would be sent to each property owner.

Landscaping and Lighting District No. 11
Fiscal Year 2025-26 Cost Estimate
CITY OF NEWARK PART B
LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. 11 ESTIMATE OF COSTS 9 The purpose of the various reserves is to ensure the District will have funds available for cashflow purposes and to repair or reconstruct the improvements that are the responsibility of the District.
The Recommended Operating Reserve target is fifty percent (50%) of the projected expenditures. Maintaining a fully funded Operating Reserve eliminates the need for the City to transfer funds from non-District accounts to pay for operational expenses during the first half of the fiscal year and provides the District with sufficient funds to address any unforeseen or unusual expenditures that may occur during the year.
The purpose of collecting and holding funds in a Capital Reserve is so that when improvements need to be replaced or expenditures are greater than can be conveniently raised from a single year’s assessment, funds are available so that the District can respond and address the need promptly.

LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. 11
CITY OF NEWARK PART D
LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. 11 METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT 12 PART D
METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT OF ASSESSMENTS
This section explains the benefits to be derived from the improvements and the methodology used to apportion the total costs of the improvements to properties within the District.
The method used for apportioning the assessment is based upon the relative special benefits to be derived by the properties in the District and any established benefit zones.
The assessment is apportioned to each parcel in proportion to the relative cost of the special benefits from the improvements.
General
The 1972 Act permits the establishment of assessment districts by agencies for the purpose of providing certain public improvements which include the construction, maintenance and servicing of public lights, landscaping, and appurtenant facilities. The 1972 Act further requires that the cost of these improvements be levied according to benefit rather than assessed value:
“The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements.” The formula used for calculating assessments in the District therefore reflects the composition of the parcels, and the improvements and services provided, to fairly apportion the costs based on estimated benefit to each parcel.
In addition, the 1972 Act permits the designation of zones of benefit within any individual assessment district if “by reasons or variations in the nature, location, and extent of the improvements, the various areas will receive different degrees of benefit from the improvement.” Thus, the 1972 Act requires the levy of a true “assessment” rather than a “special tax”.
Discussion of Benefit
Each of the improvements have been carefully reviewed by the City and the corresponding assessments have been proportionately spread to each parcel based on the special benefits conferred to property from the improvements as determined at the time the District was established.
The District consists of all Assessor Parcels within the boundaries of the District. The method of apportioning costs and assessing properties is based upon the proportional special benefits to be conferred by the improvements and services to the properties within the boundaries of the District. The apportioning of special benefit is a two-step process:
the first step is to identify the types of special benefits arising from the improvements and services, and the second step is to allocate the costs and assign assessments to property based on the estimates of the special benefit being conferred to each property.
CITY OF NEWARK PART D
LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. 11 METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT 13 In summary, the assessments can only be levied based on the special benefit to property conferred from the installation, maintenance, and servicing of the improvements funded by the District. These special benefits are not dependent on any one property owner's use of the District's improvements or their specific demographic status. The basis for these special benefits comes from statutes approved by the California Legislature and other studies that describe the types of benefits received by property from such improvements.
The identified special benefits conferred to property from the median landscape improvements can be summarized as follows:
• Improved aesthetics:
o Well-maintained and attractive median landscaping enhances the overall appearance and desirability of the area, making it visually appealing to property owners and visitors.
• Increased property values:
o Attractive and well-maintained median landscaping can increase the desirability of nearby properties, potentially leading to higher property values. • Safety:
o Median landscaping helps calm traffic and reduce speeds, creating a safer environment for people traveling to and from properties in the District. It also acts as a physical buffer between roadways and properties within the District. • Noise reduction:
o Trees and plants help absorb traffic noise and create a buffer between the road and nearby properties, reducing noise levels and creating a more peaceful environment.
• Reduced pollution:
o Trees and plants aid in filtering pollutants from the air, improving air quality and creating a healthier environment for properties in proximity to the landscape.
These benefits, when applied to property in the District, specifically increase the utility of the property within the District. For example, the assessments provide funding to maintain the median landscaping that improves safety and provides visual and environmental benefits to the properties within the District. Such improved and well-maintained public facilities enhance the overall usability, quality, desirability, and safety of the properties.
CITY OF NEWARK PART D
LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. 11 METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT 14 Method of Assessment
This process of apportioning assessments to each property involves determining the relative special benefit received by each property from the improvements and services.
Therefore, the City and Engineer of Work at the time of formation determined that each parcel within the boundaries of the District receives a similar benefit from the improvements. Therefore, the most appropriate method of apportioning costs was determined to be spreading all District costs equally to each parcel in the District. This methodology is commonly used to distribute assessments in proportion to estimated special benefit and is generally recognized as providing the basis for a fair and appropriate distribution of assessments.
In Fiscal Year 2025-26, the City proposes to collect the maximum assessment revenue from the assessable parcels located in the District, which amounts to $25.00 per parcel to be levied. A listing of each assessable parcel and their proposed Fiscal Year 2025-26 assessment is on the Assessment Roll in Part E of this Report.
Exempted from the assessment would be the areas of public streets, public avenues, public lanes, public roads, public drives, public courts, public alleys, public easements and rights-of-ways, public greenbelts, and public parkways (all of which are typically not assigned an Assessor’s Parcel Number (APN) by the County). Also exempted from the assessment would be public agency owned property, utility rights-of-ways, common areas (such as in condominium complexes or those that are owned by a Homeowner’s or Property Owner’s Association), and any other property that is deemed to be unable to develop by the City. These types of parcels do not benefit from the improvements.
Appeals and Interpretations
Any property owner who feels that the assessment levied on the subject property is in error because of incorrect information being used to apply the foregoing method of assessment, may file a written appeal with City Engineer or his or her designee. Any such appeal is limited to correction of an assessment during the then current or, if before July 1, the upcoming fiscal year. Upon the filing of any such appeal, the City Engineer or his or her designee will promptly review the appeal and any information provided by the property owner. If the City Engineer or his or her designee finds that the assessment should be modified, the appropriate changes shall be made to the assessment roll. If any such changes are approved after the assessment roll has been filed with the County for collection, the City Engineer or his or her designee is authorized to refund to the property owner the amount of any approved reduction. Any property owner who disagrees with the decision of the City Engineer or her or his designee may refer their appeal to the City Council and the decision of the City Council shall be final.

CITY OF NEWARK SECTION I
LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. 15 INTRODUCTION
1 SECTION I
INTRODUCTION
The City of Newark (“City”) levies and collects special assessments on parcels within the City of Newark Landscaping and Lighting District No. 15 (“District”) to maintain public improvements. The District was formed to provide a dedicated source of funding for the ongoing maintenance of median-landscape improvements benefiting parcels within the boundaries of the District.
The assessments and method of apportionment described in this Report utilize commonly accepted assessment engineering practices and have been calculated and proportionately spread to each parcel based on the special benefits received as approved by the City Council at the time the District was formed.
The District generally consists of those properties along and fronting Iris Court. A reduced copy of the Assessment Diagram showing the exterior boundaries of the District is provided in Part C of this Report.
Compliance with the California Constitution
Assessments are levied annually within the District pursuant to the 1972 Act. All assessments described in this Report and approved by the City Council are prepared in accordance with the 1972 Act and are compliant with the provisions of the California Constitution Article XIIID (“Article XIIID”), which was enacted with the passage of Proposition 218 in November 1996. Pursuant to Article XIIID Section 5, certain existing assessments are exempt from the substantive and procedural requirements of Article XIIID Section 4. Specifically, Article XIIID Section 5(b) exempted:
“Any assessment imposed pursuant to a petition signed by the persons owning all of the parcels subject to the assessment at the time the assessment is initially imposed. Subsequent increases in such assessment shall be subject to the procedures and approval process set forth in Section 4.” The City determined that the annual assessments originally established for the District were established by a petition signed by the persons owning all the parcels subject to the assessment at the time the assessment was originally proposed. As such, pursuant to Article XIIID Section 5(b), the pre–existing assessment amount has been exempted from the procedural requirements of Article XIIID Section 4 since the amount of the assessment has not increased since the passage of Proposition 218.
Any future increase in the assessment rate or substantial changes in the services provided would require that the District be brought into compliance with all the requirements of Article XIIID and would require the approval of the property owners subject to the assessment based upon a mailed ballot which would be sent to each property owner.

LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. 15 ESTIMATE OF COSTS 8 PART B
ESTIMATE OF COSTS
The 1972 Act requires that a special fund be set up for the collection of revenues and expenditures of the District. The Act provides that the total cost of construction, operation, and maintenance and servicing of the public improvements specified in Part A of this Report can be recovered by the District. Incidental expenses including administration of the District, engineering fees, legal fees and all other costs associated with the construction, operation and maintenance and servicing of the Districts can also be included.
The 1972 Act also requires that a special fund be set up for the revenues and expenditures of the District. Funds raised from the assessments shall be used only for the expenditures represented above. A contribution to the District by the City may be made to reduce assessments as the City deems appropriate. Any balance remaining on July 1 at the end of the fiscal year must be carried over to the next fiscal year unless the funds are being accumulated for future capital replacement projects or operating reserves.
The following table provides a summary of the estimated District revenues and cost estimates for Fiscal Year 2025-26.

Landscaping and Lighting District No. 15
Fiscal Year 2025-26 Cost Estimate
CITY OF NEWARK PART B
LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. 15 ESTIMATE OF COSTS 9 The purpose of the various reserves is to ensure the District will have funds available for cashflow purposes and to repair or reconstruct the improvements that are the responsibility of the District.
The Recommended Operating Reserve target is fifty percent (50%) of the projected expenditures. Maintaining a fully funded Operating Reserve eliminates the need for the City to transfer funds from non-District accounts to pay for operational expenses during the first half of the fiscal year and provides the District with sufficient funds to address any unforeseen or unusual expenditures that may occur during the year.
The purpose of collecting and holding funds in a Capital Reserve is so that when improvements need to be replaced or expenditures are greater than can be conveniently raised from a single year’s assessment, funds are available so that the District can respond and address the need promptly.

LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. 15
CITY OF NEWARK PART D
LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. 15 METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT 12 PART D
METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT OF ASSESSMENTS
This section explains the benefits to be derived from the improvements and the methodology used to apportion the total costs of the improvements to properties within the District.
The method used for apportioning the assessment is based upon the relative special benefits to be derived by the properties in the District and any established benefit zones.
The assessment is apportioned to each parcel in proportion to the relative cost of the special benefits from the improvements.
General
The 1972 Act permits the establishment of assessment districts by agencies for the purpose of providing certain public improvements which include the construction, maintenance and servicing of public lights, landscaping, and appurtenant facilities. The 1972 Act further requires that the cost of these improvements be levied according to benefit rather than assessed value:
“The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements.” The formula used for calculating assessments in the District therefore reflects the composition of the parcels, and the improvements and services provided, to fairly apportion the costs based on estimated benefit to each parcel.
In addition, the 1972 Act permits the designation of zones of benefit within any individual assessment district if “by reasons or variations in the nature, location, and extent of the improvements, the various areas will receive different degrees of benefit from the improvement.” Thus, the 1972 Act requires the levy of a true “assessment” rather than a “special tax”.
Discussion of Benefit
Each of the improvements have been carefully reviewed by the City and the corresponding assessments have been proportionately spread to each parcel based on the special benefits conferred to property from the improvements as determined at the time the District was established. The District consists of all Assessor Parcels within the boundaries of the District. The method of apportioning costs and assessing properties is based upon the proportional special benefits to be conferred by the improvements and services to the properties within the boundaries of the District. The apportioning of special benefit is a two-step process: the first step is to identify the types of special benefits arising from the improvements and services, and the second step is to allocate the costs and assign assessments to property based on the estimates of the special benefit being conferred to each property.
CITY OF NEWARK PART D
LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. 15 METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT 13 In summary, the assessments can only be levied based on the special benefit to property conferred from the installation, maintenance, and servicing of the improvements funded by the District. These special benefits are not dependent on any one property owner's use of the District's improvements or their specific demographic status. The basis for these special benefits comes from statutes approved by the California Legislature and other studies that describe the types of benefits received by property from such improvements.
The identified special benefits conferred to property from the improvements can be summarized as follows:
• Improved aesthetics:
o Well-maintained and attractive landscaping enhances the overall appearance and desirability of the area, making it visually appealing to property owners and visitors.
• Increased property values:
o Attractive and well-maintained landscaping can increase the desirability of nearby properties, potentially leading to higher property values. • Safety:
o Landscaping helps calm traffic and reduce speeds, creating a safer environment for people traveling to and from properties within the District. It also acts as a physical buffer between roadways and properties within the District.
• Noise reduction:
o Trees and plants help absorb traffic noise and create a buffer between the road and nearby properties, reducing noise levels and creating a more peaceful environment.
• Reduced pollution:
o Trees and plants aid in filtering pollutants from the air, improving air quality and creating a healthier environment for properties in proximity to the landscape.
These benefits, when applied to property in the District, specifically increase the utility of the property within the District. For example, the assessments provide funding to maintain the landscaping that improves safety and provides visual and environmental benefits to the properties within the District. Such improved and well-maintained public facilities enhance the overall usability, quality, desirability, and safety of the properties.
CITY OF NEWARK PART D
LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. 15 METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT 14 Method of Assessment
This process of apportioning assessments to each property involves determining the relative special benefit received by each property from the improvements and services.
Therefore, the City and Engineer at the time of formation determined that each parcel within the boundaries of the District receives a similar benefit from the improvements.
Therefore, the most appropriate method of apportioning costs was determined to be spreading all District costs equally to each parcel in the District. This methodology is commonly used to distribute assessments in proportion to estimated special benefit and is generally recognized as providing the basis for a fair and appropriate distribution of assessments.
In Fiscal Year 2025-26, the City proposes to collect the maximum assessment revenue from the assessable parcels located in the District, which amounts to $174.00 per parcel to be levied. A listing of each assessable parcel and their proposed Fiscal Year 2025-26 assessment is on the Assessment Roll in Part E of this Report.
Exempted from the assessment would be the areas of public streets, public avenues, public lanes, public roads, public drives, public courts, public alleys, public easements and rights-of-ways, public greenbelts, and public parkways (all of which are typically not assigned an Assessor’s Parcel Number (APN) by the County). Also exempted from the assessment would be public agency owned property, utility rights-of-ways, common areas (such as in condominium complexes or those that are owned by a Homeowner’s or Property Owner’s Association), and any other property that is deemed to be unable to develop by the City. These types of parcels do not benefit from the improvements.
Appeals and Interpretations
Any property owner who feels that the assessment levied on the subject property is in error because of incorrect information being used to apply the foregoing method of assessment, may file a written appeal with City Engineer or his or her designee. Any such appeal is limited to correction of an assessment during the then current or, if before July 1, the upcoming fiscal year. Upon the filing of any such appeal, the City Engineer or his or her designee will promptly review the appeal and any information provided by the property owner. If the City Engineer or his or her designee finds that the assessment should be modified, the appropriate changes shall be made to the assessment roll. If any such changes are approved after the assessment roll has been filed with the County for collection, the City Engineer or his or her designee is authorized to refund to the property owner the amount of any approved reduction. Any property owner who disagrees with the decision of the City Engineer or her or his designee may refer their appeal to the City Council and the decision of the City Council shall be final.

CITY OF NEWARK SECTION I
LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. 16 INTRODUCTION
1 SECTION I
INTRODUCTION
The City of Newark (“City”) levies and collects special assessments on parcels within the City of Newark Landscaping and Lighting District No. 16 (“District”) to maintain public improvements. The District was formed in May of 1999 to provide a dedicated source of funding for the ongoing maintenance of landscaping and park improvements benefiting parcels within the boundaries of the District.
The assessments and method of apportionment described in this Report utilize commonly accepted assessment engineering practices and have been calculated and proportionately spread to each parcel based on the special benefits received as approved by the City Council at the time the District was formed.
The District generally consists of those properties within the development east of Kiote Drive, along Rinconada Court, Crystal Springs Court, Tanforan Court, and Silverado Place. A reduced copy of the Assessment Diagram showing the exterior boundaries of the District is provided in Part C of this Report.
Impacts of Proposition 218
On November 5, 1996 California voters approved Proposition 218 entitled "Right to Vote on Taxes Act" which added Articles XIIIC and XIIID to the California Constitution. While its title refers only to taxes, Proposition 218 established new procedural requirements for the formation and administration of assessment districts.
These new procedures stipulate that even if assessments are initially exempt from Proposition 218, future increases in assessments must comply with the provisions of Proposition 218. However, if the increase in assessments were anticipated in the assessment formula (e.g., CPI increase or assessment cap) then the assessment would comply with the intent and provisions of Proposition 218.
Current Annual Administration
As required by the 1972 Act, the Engineer's Report includes: (1) a description of the improvements to be operated, maintained, and serviced by the District, (2) a cost estimate for the District, and (3) a listing of the proposed Fiscal Year 2025-26 assessments to be levied upon each assessable lot or parcel within the District.
The City will hold a Public Hearing on June 26, 2025, regarding this District which will provide an opportunity for any interested person to be heard. At the conclusion of the Public Hearing, the City Council may adopt a resolution confirming the assessment rates as originally proposed or as modified. Payment of annual assessments for each parcel will be made in the same manner and at the same time as payments are made for their annual property taxes.
All funds collected through the assessments must be placed in a special fund and can only be used for the purposes stated within this Report.

LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. 16 ESTIMATE OF COSTS 7 PART B
ESTIMATE OF COSTS
The 1972 Act requires that a special fund be set up for the collection of revenues and expenditures of the District. The Act provides that the total cost of construction, operation, and maintenance and servicing of the public improvements specified in Part A of this Report can be recovered by the District. Incidental expenses including administration of the District, engineering fees, legal fees and all other costs associated with the construction, operation and maintenance and servicing of the District can also be included.
Funds raised from the assessments shall be used only for the expenditures represented above. A contribution to the District by the City may be made to reduce assessments as the City deems appropriate. Any balance remaining on July 1 at the end of the fiscal year must be carried over to the next fiscal year unless the funds are being accumulated for future capital replacement projects or operating reserves.
The following table provides a summary of the estimated District revenues and cost estimates for Fiscal Year 2025-26.

Fiscal Year 2025-26 Cost Estimate
CITY OF NEWARK PART B
LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. 16 ESTIMATE OF COSTS 8 The purpose of the various reserves is to ensure the District will have funds available for cashflow purposes and to repair or reconstruct the improvements that are the responsibility of the District.
The Recommended Operating Reserve target is fifty percent (50%) of the projected expenditures. Maintaining a fully funded Operating Reserve eliminates the need for the City to transfer funds from non-District accounts to pay for operational expenses during the first half of the fiscal year and provides the District with sufficient funds to address any unforeseen or unusual expenditures that may occur during the year.
The purpose of collecting and holding funds in a Capital Reserve is so that when improvements need to be replaced or expenditures are greater than can be conveniently raised from a single year’s assessment, funds are available so that the District can respond and address the need promptly.

CITY OF NEWARK PART D
LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. 16 METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT 11 PART D
METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT OF ASSESSMENTS
This section explains the benefits to be derived from the improvements and the methodology used to apportion the total costs of the improvements to properties within the District.
The method used for apportioning the assessment is based upon the relative special benefits to be derived by the properties in the District and any established benefit zones.
The assessment is apportioned to each parcel in proportion to the relative cost of the special benefits from the improvements.
General
The 1972 Act permits the establishment of assessment districts by agencies for the purpose of providing certain public improvements which include the construction, maintenance and servicing of streetlights, landscaping, parks, trails, open space, and appurtenant facilities. The 1972 Act further requires that the cost of these improvements be levied according to benefit rather than assessed value:
“The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements.” The formula used for calculating assessments in the District therefore needs to reflect the composition of the parcels, and the improvements and services provided, to fairly apportion the costs based on estimated benefit to each parcel.
In addition, Article XIIID, of the California Constitution limits the amount of any assessment to the proportional “special benefit” conferred on the property. Article XIIID provides that only special benefits are assessable, and the City must separate the general benefits from the special benefits conferred on a parcel. There is no widely accepted or statutory formula for determining general and special benefit. However, the constitution states that a special benefit is different from a general benefit in that it is “particular and distinct” and “over and above” general benefits received by other properties.
The 1972 Act permits the designation of zones of benefit within any individual assessment district if “by reasons or variations in the nature, location, and extent of the improvements, the various areas will receive different degrees of benefit from the improvement.” Thus, the 1972 Act requires the levy of a true “assessment” rather than a “special tax”.
CITY OF NEWARK PART D
LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. 16 METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT 12 Article XIIID provides that publicly owned properties must be assessed unless there is clear and convincing evidence that those properties receive no special benefit from the assessment. Exempted from the assessment would be the areas of public streets, public avenues, public lanes, public roads, public drives, public courts, public alleys, public easements and rights-of-ways, public greenbelts and public parkways, utility easements, and that portion of public property that is not developed and used for business purposes similar to private residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional activities.
The amount to be assessed may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the amount among all assessable lots or parcels. In order for the City to separate out the general and special benefits for each improvement type, an analysis of each improvement was conducted. The analysis reviewed the purpose and users of each improvement, and then identified the properties that benefit from the improvement, and then allocated the costs to maintain, service, and replace each improvement type to each identified property.
Because general benefits are not assessable, any costs associated with general benefits are to be paid for by the City. Only the costs associated with the special benefits conferred on property within District from the authorized improvements are assessable, and therefore assessed herein. A summary of the benefits conferred by the improvements is described below.
Discussion of Benefit
Each of the improvements have been carefully reviewed by the City and the corresponding assessments have been proportionately spread to each parcel based on the special benefits conferred to property from the improvements as determined at the time the District was formed.
The District consists of all Assessor Parcels within the boundaries of the District. The method of apportioning costs and assessing properties is based upon the proportional special benefits to be conferred by the improvements and services within the boundaries of the District. The apportioning of special benefit is a two-step process: the first step is to identify the types of special benefits arising from the improvements and services, and the second step is to allocate the costs and assign assessments to property based on the estimates of the special benefit being conferred to each property.
In determining the proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel, the proximity of the parcel to the public improvements detailed in Part A above, and the capital, maintenance, and operating costs of said public improvements, was considered and analyzed. Due to the close proximity of the parcels to the improvements detailed in Part A above, it has been demonstrated and determined that the parcels are uniquely benefited by, and receive a direct advantage from, and are conferred a particular and distinct special benefit over and above general benefits by said public improvements in a way that is particular and distinct from its effect on other parcels, and that real property in general and the public at large do not share.
CITY OF NEWARK PART D
LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. 16 METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT 13 In summary, the assessments can only be levied based on the special benefit to property conferred from the installation, maintenance, and servicing of the improvements funded by the District. These special benefits are not dependent on any one property owner's use of the improvements or their specific demographic status. The basis for these special benefits comes from statutes approved by the California Legislature and other studies that describe the types of benefits received by property from such improvements. The identified special benefits conferred to property from the improvements are summarized as follows.
Special Benefit from Landscape Maintenance
All parcels within the District receive special benefit from Landscape Maintenance. Trees, landscaping, hardscapes, ornamental structures, and appurtenant facilities, if well maintained, confer a particular and distinct special benefit upon real property within the District by providing beautification, shade and positive enhancement of the community character, attractiveness, and desirability of the surroundings. The landscape surrounding the development also acts as a buffer between nearby properties and the roadways improving the overall safety of properties within the development. In addition, the trees and plantings adjacent to the development help absorb noise and create a buffer between the road and nearby properties, reducing noise levels and creating a more peaceful environment. In addition, all the aforementioned contribute to a specific increase in property desirability and a specific enhancement of the property value of each parcel within the District.
In Parkways and Land Values, written by John Nolan and Henry V. Hubbard in 1937, it is stated:
" ... there is no lack of opinion, based on general principles and experience and common sense, that parkways do in fact add value to property, even though the amount cannot be determined exactly .... Indeed, in most cases where public money has been spent on parkways the assumption has been made that the proposed parkway will show a provable financial profit to the City. It has been believed that the establishment of parkways causes a rise in real estate values throughout the City, or in parts of the City, ... " It should be noted that the definition of "parkways" above may include the roadway as well as the landscaping alongside the roadway.
Special Benefit from Park Maintenance
All parcels within District receive special benefit from Park Maintenance. The overall quality of life and desirability of an area is enhanced, when public parks and recreational facilities are in place, improved, operable, safe, clean, and properly maintained.
Conversely, property desirability decreases when park and recreational facilities are unsafe or destroyed by the elements or vandalism.
CITY OF NEWARK PART D
LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. 16 METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT 14 Property desirability in an area also increases when there is an increase in the number of parks, recreation centers and sports facilities. These park and recreational facilities enable property owners to participate in sporting events, leisure activities, picnics, organized social events, and other miscellaneous activities.
Studies in several communities, including counties and cities throughout the United States, have indicated that recreation areas and facilities, if well maintained and wisely administered, have caused a marked increase in the property values of parcels in the community. Consequently, such recreation and park facilities have proved a potent factor in maintaining a sound economic condition and a high standard of livability in the community. These studies confirm the opinion, long held by planning authorities, as to the economic value of parks and recreational facilities in a community. “The recreation value is realized as a rise in the value of land and other property in or near the recreation area, and is of both private interest to the landowner and others, holding an economic stake in the area, and of public interest to the taxpayers, who have a stake ...." (National Recreation and Park Association, June 1985)
“Recreation and park amenities are central components in establishing the quality of life in a community. ... [Businesses’] main resource is their employees for whom quality of life is an important issue… The availability and attractiveness of local parks and programs influences some companies’ relocation decisions. ... the presence of a park encourages real estate development around it.... ". (California Parks & Recreation, Winter 1997) The benefit of parks and other recreational facilities to residential and commercial/industrial properties has been summarized by several studies. The United States Department of the Interior, National Park Service, in a publication from June 1984, concluded that:
• Parks and recreation stimulate business and generate tax revenues • Parks and recreation help conserve land, energy, and resources • An investment in parks and recreation helps reduce pollution and noise, makes communities more livable, and increases property values • Public recreation benefits all residents and employers by providing continuing opportunities to maintain a level of fitness throughout one's working life, and through helping individuals cope with the stress of a fast-paced and demanding life Proper maintenance and operation of the mini park within the District benefits those properties within the development by providing environmental quality and recreational enhancement.
CITY OF NEWARK PART D
LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. 16 METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT 15 General Benefit
Since the in-tract streets within the development are designed to have minimal flow through traffic and the mini park within the District was designed for use by the properties within the District, there are few reasons for the public to visit the mini park or vehicles to access the in-tract streets unless their destination is to or from a single-family residential parcel within the development. However, it is reasonable to conclude that members of the public may use the mini park and vehicular traffic may on a rare occasion utilize the in-tract streets due to the need to turn around or a mistaken turn into the development. These rare circumstances where a pedestrian uses the mini park or a vehicle mistakenly uses the intract streets, have been determined to be a rare and infrequent circumstance. Even though these are rare and infrequent circumstances, they must be accounted for and cannot be assessed to the properties within the Districts. Therefore, based on low likelihood of the general public visiting the mini park and minimal if any flow-through traffic, it is conservatively estimated that approximately 98% of the annual trips to the mini park or along local in-tract roadways within the development would be a special and direct benefit to the parcels within the District and 2% of the annual trips to the mini park or along local in-tract roadways within the development would be a general benefit.
The share of costs attributable to the general benefits associated with the District improvements cannot be assessed to properties within the District, but are required to be paid by some other source, such as the City’s General Fund.
Method of Assessment
This process of apportioning assessments to each property involves determining the relative special benefit received by each property from the improvements and services.
Therefore, the City and Engineer at the time of formation determined that each parcel within the boundaries of the District receives a similar benefit from the improvements.
Therefore, the most appropriate method of apportioning costs was determined to be spreading all District costs equally to each parcel in the District. This methodology is commonly used to distribute assessments in proportion to estimated special benefit and is generally recognized as providing the basis for a fair and appropriate distribution of assessments.
In Fiscal Year 2025-26, the City proposes to generate the maximum assessment revenue from the assessable parcels located in the District, which amounts to $209.50 per parcel to be levied. A listing of each assessable parcel and their proposed Fiscal Year 2025-26 assessment is on the Assessment Roll in Part E of this Report.
Exempted from the assessment would be the areas of public streets, public avenues, public lanes, public roads, public drives, public courts, public alleys, public easements and rights-of-ways, public greenbelts, and public parkways (all of which are typically not assigned an Assessor’s Parcel Number (APN) by the County). Also exempted from the assessment would be public agency owned property, utility rights-of-ways, common areas (such as in condominium complexes or those that are owned by a Homeowner’s or Property Owner’s Association), and any other property that is deemed to be unable to develop by the City. These types of parcels do not benefit from the improvements.
CITY OF NEWARK PART D
LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. 16 METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT 16 Appeals and Interpretations
Any property owner who feels that the assessment levied on the subject property is in error because of incorrect information being used to apply the foregoing method of assessment, may file a written appeal with City Engineer or his or her designee. Any such appeal is limited to correction of an assessment during the then current or, if before July 1, the upcoming fiscal year. Upon the filing of any such appeal, the City Engineer or his or her designee will promptly review the appeal and any information provided by the property owner. If the City Engineer or his or her designee finds that the assessment should be modified, the appropriate changes shall be made to the assessment roll. If any such changes are approved after the assessment roll has been filed with the County for collection, the City Engineer or his or her designee is authorized to refund to the property owner the amount of any approved reduction. Any property owner who disagrees with the decision of the City Engineer or her or his designee may refer their appeal to the City Council and the decision of the City Council shall be final.

CITY OF NEWARK SECTION I
LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. 17 INTRODUCTION
1 SECTION I
INTRODUCTION
The City of Newark (“City”) levies and collects special assessments on parcels within the City of Newark Landscaping and Lighting District No. 17 (“District”) to maintain public improvements. The District was formed in May of 2004 to provide a dedicated source of funding for the ongoing maintenance of landscaping improvements benefiting property within the boundaries of the District.
The assessments and method of apportionment described in this Report utilize commonly accepted assessment engineering practices and have been calculated and proportionately spread to each parcel based on the special benefits received as approved by the City Council at the time the District was formed.
The District generally consists of those properties within the infill development of Tract 7004 north of Mayhews Landing Road, along Dijon Drive, and south of Bellhaven Avenue. A reduced copy of the Assessment Diagram showing the exterior boundaries of the District is provided in Part C of this Report.
Impacts of Proposition 218
On November 5, 1996 California voters approved Proposition 218 entitled "Right to Vote on Taxes Act" which added Articles XIIIC and XIIID to the California Constitution. While its title refers only to taxes, Proposition 218 established new procedural requirements for the formation and administration of assessment districts.
These new procedures stipulate that even if assessments are initially exempt from Proposition 218, future increases in assessments must comply with the provisions of Proposition 218. However, if the increase in assessments were anticipated in the assessment formula (e.g., CPI increase or assessment cap) then the assessment would comply with the intent and provisions of Proposition 218.
Current Annual Administration
As required by the 1972 Act, the Engineer's Report includes: (1) a description of the improvements to be operated, maintained, and serviced by the District, (2) a cost estimate for the District, and (3) a listing of the proposed Fiscal Year 2025-26 assessments to be levied upon each assessable lot or parcel within the District.
The City will hold a Public Hearing on June 26, 2025, regarding this District which will provide an opportunity for any interested person to be heard. At the conclusion of the Public Hearing, the City Council may adopt a resolution confirming the assessment rates as originally proposed or as modified. Payment of annual assessments for each parcel will be made in the same manner and at the same time as payments are made for their annual property taxes.
All funds collected through the assessments must be placed in a special fund and can only be used for the purposes stated within this Report.

ESTIMATE OF COSTS
The 1972 Act requires that a special fund be set up for the collection of revenues and expenditures of the District. The Act provides that the total cost of construction, operation, and maintenance and servicing of the public improvements specified in Part A of this Report can be recovered by the District. Incidental expenses including administration of the District, engineering fees, legal fees and all other costs associated with the construction, operation and maintenance and servicing of the District can also be included.
Funds raised from the assessments shall be used only for the expenditures represented above. A contribution to the District by the City may be made to reduce assessments as the City deems appropriate. Any balance remaining on July 1 at the end of the fiscal year must be carried over to the next fiscal year unless the funds are being accumulated for future capital replacement projects or operating reserves.
The following table provides a summary of the estimated District revenues and cost estimates for Fiscal Year 2025-26.

Landscaping and Lighting District No. 17
Fiscal Year 2025-26 Cost Estimate
CITY OF NEWARK PART B
LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. 17 ESTIMATE OF COSTS 8 The purpose of the various reserves is to ensure the District will have funds available for cashflow purposes and to repair or reconstruct the improvements that are the responsibility of the District.
The Recommended Operating Reserve target is fifty percent (50%) of the projected expenditures. Maintaining a fully funded Operating Reserve eliminates the need for the City to transfer funds from non-District accounts to pay for operational expenses during the first half of the fiscal year and provides the District with sufficient funds to address any unforeseen or unusual expenditures that may occur during the year.
The purpose of collecting and holding funds in a Capital Reserve is so that when improvements need to be replaced or expenditures are greater than can be conveniently raised from a single year’s assessment, funds are available so that the District can respond and address the need promptly.

CITY OF NEWARK PART D
LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. 17 METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT 11 PART D
METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT OF ASSESSMENTS
This section explains the benefits to be derived from the improvements and the methodology used to apportion the total costs of the improvements to properties within the District.
The method used for apportioning the assessment is based upon the relative special benefits to be derived by the properties in the District and any established benefit zones.
The assessment is apportioned to each parcel in proportion to the relative cost of the special benefits from the improvements.
General
The 1972 Act permits the establishment of assessment districts by agencies for the purpose of providing certain public improvements which include the construction, maintenance and servicing of streetlights, landscaping, parks, trails, open space, and appurtenant facilities. The 1972 Act further requires that the cost of these improvements be levied according to benefit rather than assessed value:
“The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements.” The formula used for calculating assessments in the District therefore needs to reflect the composition of the parcels, and the improvements and services provided, to fairly apportion the costs based on estimated benefit to each parcel.
In addition, Article XIIID, of the California Constitution limits the amount of any assessment to the proportional “special benefit” conferred on the property. Article XIIID provides that only special benefits are assessable, and the City must separate the general benefits from the special benefits conferred on a parcel. There is no widely accepted or statutory formula for determining general and special benefit. However, the constitution states that a special benefit is different from a general benefit in that it is “particular and distinct” and “over and above” general benefits received by other properties.
The 1972 Act permits the designation of zones of benefit within any individual assessment district if “by reasons or variations in the nature, location, and extent of the improvements, the various areas will receive different degrees of benefit from the improvement.” Thus, the 1972 Act requires the levy of a true “assessment” rather than a “special tax”.
CITY OF NEWARK PART D
LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. 17 METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT 12 Article XIIID provides that publicly owned properties must be assessed unless there is clear and convincing evidence that those properties receive no special benefit from the assessment. Exempted from the assessment would be the areas of public streets, public avenues, public lanes, public roads, public drives, public courts, public alleys, public easements and rights-of-ways, public greenbelts and public parkways, utility easements, and that portion of public property that is not developed and used for business purposes similar to private residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional activities.
The amount to be assessed may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the amount among all assessable lots or parcels. In order for the City to separate out the general and special benefits for each improvement type, an analysis of each improvement was conducted. The analysis reviewed the purpose and users of each improvement, and then identified the properties that benefit from the improvement, and then allocated the costs to maintain, service, and replace each improvement type to each identified property.
Because general benefits are not assessable, any costs associated with general benefits are to be paid for by the City. Only the costs associated with the special benefits conferred on property within the District from the authorized improvements are assessable, and therefore assessed herein. A summary of the benefits conferred by the improvements is described below.
Discussion of Benefit
Each of the improvements have been carefully reviewed by the City and the corresponding assessments have been proportionately spread to each parcel based on the special benefits conferred to property from the improvements as determined at the time the District was formed.
The District consists of all Assessor Parcels within the boundaries of the District. The method of apportioning costs and assessing properties is based upon the proportional special benefits to be conferred by the improvements and services within the boundaries of the District. The apportioning of special benefit is a two-step process: the first step is to identify the types of special benefits arising from the improvements and services, and the second step is to allocate the costs and assign assessments to property based on the estimates of the special benefit being conferred to each property.
In determining the proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel, the proximity of the parcel to the public improvements detailed in Part A above, and the capital, maintenance, and operating costs of said public improvements, was considered and analyzed. Due to the close proximity of the parcels to the improvements detailed in Part A above, it has been demonstrated and determined that the parcels are uniquely benefited by, and receive a direct advantage from, and are conferred a particular and distinct special benefit over and above general benefits by said public improvements in a way that is particular and distinct from its effect on other parcels, and that real property in general and the public at large do not share.
CITY OF NEWARK PART D
LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. 17 METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT 13 In summary, the assessments can only be levied based on the special benefit to property conferred from the installation, maintenance, and servicing of the improvements funded by the District. These special benefits are not dependent on any one property owner's use of the improvements or their specific demographic status. The basis for these special benefits comes from statutes approved by the California Legislature and other studies that describe the types of benefits received by property from such improvements. The identified special benefits conferred to property from the improvements are summarized as follows.
Special Benefit from Landscape Maintenance
All parcels within the District receive special benefit from Landscape Maintenance. Trees, landscaping, hardscapes, ornamental structures, and appurtenant facilities, if well maintained, confer a particular and distinct special benefit upon real property within the District by providing beautification, shade and positive enhancement of the community character, attractiveness, and desirability of the surroundings through association with the improvements. The landscape surrounding the development not only enhances beautification of the adjacent development but also acts as a buffer between nearby properties and the roadways improving the overall safety of properties within the development. In addition, the trees and plantings adjacent to the development help absorb noise and create a buffer between the road and nearby properties, reducing noise levels and creating a more peaceful environment. In addition, all the aforementioned contribute to a specific increase in property desirability and a specific enhancement of the property value of each parcel within the District.
In Parkways and Land Values, written by John Nolan and Henry V. Hubbard in 1937, it is stated:
" ... there is no lack of opinion, based on general principles and experience and common sense, that parkways do in fact add value to property, even though the amount cannot be determined exactly .... Indeed, in most cases where public money has been spent on parkways the assumption has been made that the proposed parkway will show a provable financial profit to the City. It has been believed that the establishment of parkways causes a rise in real estate values throughout the City, or in parts of the City, ... " It should be noted that the definition of "parkways" above may include the roadway as well as the landscaping alongside the roadway.
General Benefit
In reviewing each of the District improvements, the proximity of those improvements to both properties within the District and those outside the District, as well as the reasons for installing and constructing such improvements, it is evident that the improvements are solely the result of developing properties within the District, and the ongoing maintenance and operation of these improvements will directly affect the properties within the District.
Although the improvements include public areas, easements, rights-of-way, and other amenities available or visible to the public at large, the construction and installation of these improvements were only necessary for the development of properties within the District and were not required, nor necessarily desired by any properties or developments
CITY OF NEWARK PART D
LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. 17 METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT 14 outside the District boundary and any public access or use of the improvements by others is incidental. Though the landscape was designed as a result of the development of the properties, and for use by the properties within the District, it is reasonable to conclude that pedestrians passing by and the traffic flow along the roadways adjacent to the landscaping receive some incidental benefit from the improvements and such incidental benefits must be accounted for and cannot be assessed to the properties within the District. Therefore, it is conservatively estimated that approximately 98% of the benefit conferred by the landscaping constructed for the development and properties within the District would be a special and direct benefit to the parcels within the District and 2% of the benefit is conservatively conferred to the public at large that may utilize the roadway adjacent to the development would be a general benefit.
The share of costs attributable to the general benefits associated with the District improvements cannot be assessed to properties within the District, but are required to be paid by some other source, such as the City’s General Fund.
Method of Assessment
This process of apportioning assessments to each property involves determining the relative special benefit received by each property from the improvements and services.
Therefore, the City and Engineer at the time of formation determined that each parcel within the boundaries of the District receives a similar benefit from the improvements.
Therefore, the most appropriate method of apportioning costs was determined to be spreading all District costs equally to each parcel in the District. This methodology is commonly used to distribute assessments in proportion to estimated special benefit and is generally recognized as providing the basis for a fair and appropriate distribution of assessments.
In Fiscal Year 2025-26, the City proposes to generate the maximum assessment revenue from the assessable parcels located in the District, which amounts to $189.00 per parcel to be levied. A listing of each assessable parcel and their proposed Fiscal Year 2025-26 assessment is on the Assessment Roll in Part E of this Report.
Exempted from the assessment would be the areas of public streets, public avenues, public lanes, public roads, public drives, public courts, public alleys, public easements and rights-of-ways, public greenbelts, and public parkways (all of which are typically not assigned an Assessor’s Parcel Number (APN) by the County). Also exempted from the assessment would be public agency owned property, utility rights-of-ways, common areas (such as in condominium complexes or those that are owned by a Homeowner’s or Property Owner’s Association), and any other property that is deemed to be unable to develop by the City. These types of parcels do not benefit from the improvements.
CITY OF NEWARK PART D
LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. 17 METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT 15 Appeals and Interpretations
Any property owner who feels that the assessment levied on the subject property is in error because of incorrect information being used to apply the foregoing method of assessment, may file a written appeal with City Engineer or his or her designee. Any such appeal is limited to correction of an assessment during the then current or, if before July 1, the upcoming fiscal year. Upon the filing of any such appeal, the City Engineer or his or her designee will promptly review the appeal and any information provided by the property owner. If the City Engineer or his or her designee finds that the assessment should be modified, the appropriate changes shall be made to the assessment roll. If any such changes are approved after the assessment roll has been filed with the County for collection, the City Engineer or his or her designee is authorized to refund to the property owner the amount of any approved reduction. Any property owner who disagrees with the decision of the City Engineer or her or his designee may refer their appeal to the City Council and the decision of the City Council shall be final.

FISCAL YEAR 2025-26
The undersigned, acting on behalf of Francisco & Associates respectfully submits the enclosed Engineer's Report as directed by the Newark City Council pursuant to the provisions of Article XIIID, Section 4 of the California Constitution, and the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972 being Section 22500 et al of the California Streets and Highways Code (the “1972 Act”). The undersigned certifies that he is a Professional Engineer, registered in the State of California.

CITY OF NEWARK SECTION I
LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. 18 INTRODUCTION
1 SECTION I
INTRODUCTION
The City of Newark (“City”) levies and collects special assessments on parcels within the City of Newark Landscaping and Lighting District No. 18 (“District”) to maintain public improvements. The District was formed in June of 2015 to provide a dedicated source of funding for the ongoing maintenance of landscaping improvements benefiting parcels within the boundaries of the District.
The assessments and method of apportionment described in this Report utilize commonly accepted assessment engineering practices and have been calculated and proportionately spread to each parcel based on the special benefits received as approved by the City Council at the time the District was formed.
The District generally consists of those properties within the developments of Tract 8130, which is located north of Cedar Boulevard, south of Timber Street and the Nimitz Freeway, west of Central Avenue and the adjacent commercial and industrial structures, and east of the Public Storage property. A reduced copy of the Assessment Diagram showing the exterior boundaries of the District is provided in Part C of this Report.
Impacts of Proposition 218
On November 5, 1996 California voters approved Proposition 218 entitled "Right to Vote on Taxes Act" which added Articles XIIIC and XIIID to the California Constitution. While its title refers only to taxes, Proposition 218 established new procedural requirements for the formation and administration of assessment districts.
These new procedures stipulate that even if assessments are initially exempt from Proposition 218, future increases in assessments must comply with the provisions of Proposition 218. However, if the increase in assessments were anticipated in the assessment formula (e.g., CPI increase or assessment cap) then the assessment would comply with the intent and provisions of Proposition 218.
Current Annual Administration
As required by the 1972 Act, the Engineer's Report includes: (1) a description of the improvements to be operated, maintained, and serviced by the District, (2) a cost estimate for the District, and (3) a listing of the proposed Fiscal Year 2025-26 assessments to be levied upon each assessable lot or parcel within the District.
The City will hold a Public Hearing on June 26, 2025, regarding this District which will provide an opportunity for any interested person to be heard. At the conclusion of the Public Hearing, the City Council may adopt a resolution confirming the assessment rates as originally proposed or as modified.
CITY OF NEWARK SECTION I
LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. 18 INTRODUCTION
2 Payment of annual assessments for each parcel will be made in the same manner and at the same time as payments are made for their annual property taxes. All funds collected through the assessments must be placed in a special fund and can only be used for the purposes stated within this Report.

ESTIMATE OF COSTS
The 1972 Act requires that a special fund be set up for the collection of revenues and expenditures of the District. The Act provides that the total cost of construction, operation, and maintenance and servicing of the public improvements specified in Part A of this Report can be recovered by the District. Incidental expenses including administration of the District, engineering fees, legal fees and all other costs associated with the construction, operation and maintenance and servicing of the District can also be included.
Funds raised from the assessments shall be used only for the expenditures represented above. A contribution to the District by the City may be made to reduce assessments as the City deems appropriate. Any balance remaining on July 1 at the end of the fiscal year must be carried over to the next fiscal year unless the funds are being accumulated for future capital replacement projects or operating reserves.
The following table provides a summary of the estimated District revenues and cost estimates for Fiscal Year 2025-26.

Fiscal Year 2025-26 Cost Estimate
CITY OF NEWARK PART B
LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. 18 ESTIMATE OF COSTS 9 The purpose of the various reserves is to ensure the District will have funds available for cashflow purposes and to repair or reconstruct the improvements that are the responsibility of the District.
The Recommended Operating Reserve target is fifty percent (50%) of the projected expenditures. Maintaining a fully funded Operating Reserve eliminates the need for the City to transfer funds from non-District accounts to pay for operational expenses during the first half of the fiscal year and provides the District with sufficient funds to address any unforeseen or unusual expenditures that may occur during the year.
The purpose of collecting and holding funds in a Capital Reserve is so that when improvements need to be replaced or expenditures are greater than can be conveniently raised from a single year’s assessment, funds are available so that the District can respond and address the need promptly.

LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. 18
CITY OF NEWARK PART D
LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. 18 METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT 12 PART D
METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT OF ASSESSMENTS
This section explains the benefits to be derived from the improvements and the methodology used to apportion the total costs of the improvements to properties within the District.
The method used for apportioning the assessment is based upon the relative special benefits to be derived by the properties in the District and any established benefit zones.
The assessment is apportioned to each parcel in proportion to the relative cost of the special benefits from the improvements.
General
The 1972 Act permits the establishment of assessment districts by agencies for the purpose of providing certain public improvements which include the construction, maintenance and servicing of streetlights, landscaping, parks, trails, open space, and appurtenant facilities. The 1972 Act further requires that the cost of these improvements be levied according to benefit rather than assessed value:
“The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements.” The formula used for calculating assessments in the District therefore needs to reflect the composition of the parcels, and the improvements and services provided, to fairly apportion the costs based on estimated benefit to each parcel.
In addition, Article XIIID, of the California Constitution limits the amount of any assessment to the proportional “special benefit” conferred on the property. Article XIIID provides that only special benefits are assessable, and the City must separate the general benefits from the special benefits conferred on a parcel. There is no widely accepted or statutory formula for determining general and special benefit. However, the constitution states that a special benefit is different from a general benefit in that it is “particular and distinct” and “over and above” general benefits received by other properties.
The 1972 Act permits the designation of zones of benefit within any individual assessment district if “by reasons or variations in the nature, location, and extent of the improvements, the various areas will receive different degrees of benefit from the improvement.” Thus, the 1972 Act requires the levy of a true “assessment” rather than a “special tax”.
Article XIIID provides that publicly owned properties must be assessed unless there is clear and convincing evidence that those properties receive no special benefit from the assessment. Exempted from the assessment would be the areas of public streets, public avenues, public lanes, public roads, public drives, public courts, public alleys, public easements and rights-of-ways, public greenbelts and public parkways, utility easements,
CITY OF NEWARK PART D
LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. 18 METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT 13 and that portion of public property that is not developed and used for business purposes similar to private residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional activities.
The amount to be assessed may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the amount among all assessable lots or parcels. In order for the City to separate out the general and special benefits for each improvement type, an analysis of each improvement was conducted. The analysis reviewed the purpose and users of each improvement, and then identified the properties that benefit from the improvement, and then allocated the costs to maintain, service, and replace each improvement type to each identified property.
Because general benefits are not assessable, any costs associated with general benefits are to be paid for by the City. Only the costs associated with the special benefits conferred on property within District from the authorized improvements are assessable, and therefore assessed herein. A summary of the benefits conferred by the improvements is described below.
Discussion of Benefit
Each of the improvements have been carefully reviewed by the City and the corresponding assessments have been proportionately spread to each parcel based on the special benefits conferred to property from the improvements as determined at the time the District was formed.
The District consists of all Assessor Parcels within the boundaries of the District. The method of apportioning costs and assessing properties is based upon the proportional special benefits to be conferred by the improvements and services within the boundaries of the District. The apportioning of special benefit is a two-step process: the first step is to identify the types of special benefits arising from the improvements and services, and the second step is to allocate the costs and assign assessments to property based on the estimates of the special benefit being conferred to each property.
In determining the proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel, the proximity of the parcel to the public improvements detailed in Part A above, and the capital, maintenance, and operating costs of said public improvements, was considered and analyzed. Due to the close proximity of the parcels to the improvements detailed in Part A above, it has been demonstrated and determined that the parcels are uniquely benefited by, and receive a direct advantage from, and are conferred a particular and distinct special benefit over and above general benefits by said public improvements in a way that is particular and distinct from its effect on other parcels, and that real property in general and the public at large do not share.
In summary, the assessments can only be levied based on the special benefit to property conferred from the installation, maintenance, and servicing of the improvements funded by the District. These special benefits are not dependent on any one property owner's use of the improvements or their specific demographic status. The basis for these special benefits comes from statutes approved by the California Legislature and other studies that describe the types of benefits received by property from such improvements. The identified special benefits conferred to property from the improvements are summarized as follows.
CITY OF NEWARK PART D
LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. 18 METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT 14 Special Benefit from Landscape Maintenance
All parcels within the District receive special benefit from Landscape Maintenance within the adjacent medians. Trees, landscaping, hardscapes, ornamental structures, and appurtenant facilities, if well maintained, confer a particular and distinct special benefit upon real property within the District by providing beautification, shade and positive enhancement of the community character, attractiveness, and desirability of the surroundings. The medians adjacent to the development help calm traffic and reduce speeds, creating a safer environment for those traveling to and from the properties within the District. The median also acts as a physical buffer between portions of the roadway and properties within the District improving the overall safety of properties within the development. In addition, the trees and plantings within the medians help absorb noise from the road for nearby properties, reducing noise levels and creating a more peaceful environment. In addition, all the aforementioned contribute to a specific increase in property desirability and a specific enhancement of the property value of each parcel within the District.
In Parkways and Land Values, written by John Nolan and Henry V. Hubbard in 1937, it is stated:
" ... there is no lack of opinion, based on general principles and experience and common sense, that parkways do in fact add value to property, even though the amount cannot be determined exactly .... Indeed, in most cases where public money has been spent on parkways the assumption has been made that the proposed parkway will show a provable financial profit to the City. It has been believed that the establishment of parkways causes a rise in real estate values throughout the City, or in parts of the City, ... " It should be noted that the definition of "parkways" above may include the roadway as well as the landscaping alongside the roadway.
General Benefit
In reviewing each of the District improvements, the proximity of those improvements to both properties within the District and those outside the District, as well as the reasons for installing and constructing such improvements, it is evident that the improvements are solely the result of developing properties within the District, and the ongoing maintenance and operation of these improvements will directly affect the properties within the District.
Although the improvements include public areas, easements, rights-of-way, and other amenities available or visible to the public at large, the construction and installation of these improvements were only necessary for the development of properties within the District and were not required, nor necessarily desired by any properties or developments outside the District boundary. Though the medians were designed as a result of the development of the properties within the District, it is reasonable to conclude that the traffic flow along the roadways adjacent to the median landscaping receive some incidental benefit from the improvements and such incidental benefits must be accounted for and cannot be assessed to the properties within the District. Therefore, it is conservatively estimated that approximately 98% of the benefit conferred by the medians in the roadways constructed for the development and properties within the District would be a special and
CITY OF NEWARK PART D
LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. 18 METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT 15 direct benefit to the parcels within the District and 2% of the benefit from the medians is conferred to the public at large that may utilize the roadway adjacent to the development would be a general benefit.
The share of costs attributable to the general benefits associated with the District improvements cannot be assessed to properties within the District, but are required to be paid by some other source, such as the City’s General Fund.
Method of Assessment
This process of apportioning assessments to each property involves determining the relative special benefit received by each property from the improvements and services.
Therefore, the City and Engineer at the time of formation determined that each parcel within the boundaries of the District receives a similar benefit from the improvements.
Therefore, the most appropriate method of apportioning costs was determined to be spreading all District costs equally to each dwelling unit in the District. This methodology is commonly used to distribute assessments in proportion to estimated special benefit and is generally recognized as providing the basis for a fair and appropriate distribution of assessments.
In Fiscal Year 2025-26, the City proposes to collect the maximum assessment revenue from the assessable parcels located in the District, which amounts to $66.96 per parcel to be levied. A listing of each assessable parcel and their proposed Fiscal Year 2025-26 assessment is on the Assessment Roll in Part E of this Report.
Exempted from the assessment would be the areas of public streets, public avenues, public lanes, public roads, public drives, public courts, public alleys, public easements and rights-of-ways, public greenbelts, and public parkways (all of which are typically not assigned an Assessor’s Parcel Number (APN) by the County). Also exempted from the assessment would be public agency owned property, utility rights-of-ways, common areas (such as in condominium complexes or those that are owned by a Homeowner’s or Property Owner’s Association), and any other property that is deemed to be unable to develop by the City. These types of parcels do not benefit from the improvements.
Appeals and Interpretations
Any property owner who feels that the assessment levied on the subject property is in error because of incorrect information being used to apply the foregoing method of assessment, may file a written appeal with City Engineer or his or her designee. Any such appeal is limited to correction of an assessment during the then current or, if before July 1, the upcoming fiscal year. Upon the filing of any such appeal, the City Engineer or his or her designee will promptly review the appeal and any information provided by the property owner. If the City Engineer or his or her designee finds that the assessment should be modified, the appropriate changes shall be made to the assessment roll. If any such changes are approved after the assessment roll has been filed with the County for collection, the City Engineer or his or her designee is authorized to refund to the property owner the amount of any approved reduction. Any property owner who disagrees with the decision of the City Engineer or her or his designee may refer their appeal to the City Council and the decision of the City Council shall be final.

CITY OF NEWARK SECTION I
LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. 19 INTRODUCTION
1 SECTION I
INTRODUCTION
The City of Newark (“City”) levies and collects special assessments on parcels within the City of Newark Landscaping and Lighting District No. 19 (“District”) to maintain public improvements. The District was formed in December of 2016 to provide a dedicated source of funding for the ongoing maintenance of median and buffer landscape, street lighting, and park improvements benefiting parcels within the boundaries of the District. Since formation, additional properties have been annexed into the District. A historical listing of the date each annexation occurred since formation follows:
• Annexation No. 1 (September 14, 2017)
• Annexation No. 2 (September 14, 2017)
• Annexation No. 3 (September 14, 2017)
• Annexation No. 4 (May 9, 2019)
• Annexation No. 5 (November 12, 2020)
• Annexation No. 6 (January 27, 2022)
Following the approval of the annexations listed above, the District consists of the following seven (7) zones of benefit.
• Zone 1 (Bayshores)
The Bayshores Tract Map 8085 was comprised of residential lots (detached homes, condominiums, and townhomes), landscape lots, a park area, and private roads. The landscape lots and park around the clubhouse will be maintained by the Homeowners Association and will not be funded by assessments.
• Zone 2 (Lighthouse)
The Lighthouse Tract Map 8157 was comprised of eighty-eight (88) condominium units and private roads.
• Zone 3 (Newark Senior Housing – USA Properties)
The Newark Senior Housing – USA Properties project is comprised of one building, containing seventy-five (75) apartment units.
• Zone 4 (Tract 8098 – Glass Bay)
The Glass Bay Tract Map 8098 was comprised of two hundred and seventeen (217) single-family homes and private roads.
• Zone 5 (Tracts 8099 & 8436 - Bridgeway)
The Bridgeway Development was comprised of Tract 8099 and 8436 and contains three hundred and six (306) single family lots and two hundred and seventy (270) multi-family units.
CITY OF NEWARK SECTION I
LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. 19 INTRODUCTION
2 • Zone 6 (Tract 8459 – Compass Bay)
The Compass Bay Development was comprised of Tract 8459 which included fiftythree (53) single family lots and eighty-five (85) multi-family units. • Zone 7 (Tract 8453 – Harbor Pointe)
The Harbor Pointe (Bridgeway Parcel C) Development was comprised of Tract 8453 and contains one hundred and ninety two (192) single family lots.
The assessments and method of apportionment described in this Report utilize commonly accepted assessment engineering practices and have been calculated and proportionately spread to each parcel based on the special benefits received as approved by the City Council at the time the District was formed and each subsequent zone of benefit was established.
The District generally consists of those properties in an area known as Bayside Newark, formerly known as the Dumbarton Transit-Oriented Development. The Bayside Newark project is located next to the proposed commuter rail station near the corner of Willow Avenue and Enterprise Drive. A reduced copy of the Assessment Diagram showing the exterior boundaries of the District and each zone of benefit is provided in Part C of this Report.
Impacts of Proposition 218
On November 5, 1996 California voters approved Proposition 218 entitled "Right to Vote on Taxes Act" which added Articles XIIIC and XIIID to the California Constitution. While its title refers only to taxes, Proposition 218 established new procedural requirements for the formation and administration of assessment districts.
These new procedures stipulate that even if assessments are initially exempt from Proposition 218, future increases in assessments must comply with the provisions of Proposition 218. However, if the increase in assessments were anticipated in the assessment formula (e.g., CPI increase or assessment cap) then the assessment would comply with the intent and provisions of Proposition 218.
Current Annual Administration
As required by the 1972 Act, the Engineer's Report includes: (1) a description of the improvements to be operated, maintained, and serviced by the District and each benefit zone, (2) a cost estimate for the District and each benefit zone, and (3) a listing of the proposed Fiscal Year 2025-26 assessments to be levied upon each assessable lot or parcel within the District and each benefit zone.
The City will hold a Public Hearing on June 26, 2025, regarding this District which will provide an opportunity for any interested person to be heard. At the conclusion of the Public Hearing, the City Council may adopt a resolution confirming the assessment rates as originally proposed or as modified. Payment of annual assessments for each parcel will be made in the same manner and at the same time as payments are made for their annual property taxes.
All funds collected through the assessments must be placed in a special fund and can only be used for the purposes stated within this Report.

CITY OF NEWARK PART B
LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. 19 ESTIMATE OF COSTS 14 The purpose of the various reserves is to ensure the District will have funds available for cashflow purposes and to repair or reconstruct the improvements that are the responsibility of the District.
The Recommended Operating Reserve target is fifty percent (50%) of the projected expenditures. Maintaining a fully funded Operating Reserve eliminates the need for the City to transfer funds from non-District accounts to pay for operational expenses during the first half of the fiscal year and provides the District with sufficient funds to address any unforeseen or unusual expenditures that may occur during the year.
The purpose of collecting and holding funds in a Capital Reserve is so that when improvements need to be replaced or expenditures are greater than can be conveniently raised from a single year’s assessment, funds are available so that the District can respond and address the need promptly.

CITY OF NEWARK PART D
LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. 19 METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT 23 PART D
METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT OF ASSESSMENTS
This section explains the benefits to be derived from the improvements and the methodology used to apportion the total costs of the improvements to properties within the District. The method used for apportioning the assessment is based upon the relative special benefits to be derived by the properties in the District and any established benefit zones. The assessment is apportioned to each parcel in proportion to the relative cost of the special benefits from the improvements.
General
The 1972 Act permits the establishment of assessment districts by agencies for the purpose of providing certain public improvements which include the construction, maintenance and servicing of streetlights, landscaping, parks, trails, open space, and appurtenant facilities. The 1972 Act further requires that the cost of these improvements be levied according to benefit rather than assessed value:
“The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements.” The formula used for calculating assessments in the District therefore needs to reflect the composition of the parcels, and the improvements and services provided, to fairly apportion the costs based on estimated benefit to each parcel. In addition, Article XIIID, of the California Constitution limits the amount of any assessment to the proportional “special benefit” conferred on the property. Article XIIID provides that only special benefits are assessable, and the City must separate the general benefits from the special benefits conferred on a parcel. There is no widely accepted or statutory formula for determining general and special benefit. However, the constitution states that a special benefit is different from a general benefit in that it is “particular and distinct” and “over and above” general benefits received by other properties. The 1972 Act permits the designation of zones of benefit within any individual assessment district if “by reasons or variations in the nature, location, and extent of the improvements, the various areas will receive different degrees of benefit from the improvement.” Thus, the 1972 Act requires the levy of a true “assessment” rather than a “special tax”.
Article XIIID provides that publicly owned properties must be assessed unless there is clear and convincing evidence that those properties receive no special benefit from the assessment. Exempted from the assessment would be the areas of public streets, public avenues, public lanes, public roads, public drives, public courts, public alleys, public easements and rights-of-ways, public greenbelts and public parkways, utility easements, and that portion of public property that is not developed and used for business purposes similar to private residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional activities.
CITY OF NEWARK PART D
LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. 19 METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT 24 The amount to be assessed may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the amount among all assessable lots or parcels. In order for the City to separate out the general and special benefits for each improvement type, an analysis of each improvement was conducted. The analysis reviewed the purpose and users of each improvement, and then identified the properties that benefit from the improvement both within and outside the District and each zone of benefit, and then allocated the costs to maintain, service, and replace each improvement type to each identified property.
Because general benefits are not assessable, any costs associated with general benefits or special benefits assigned to properties (both within and outside and the District and each zone of benefit) not in a zone of benefit are to be paid for by the City or by the area receiving special benefits from the improvements. Only the costs associated with the special benefits conferred on property within each zone of benefit from the authorized improvements are assessable, and therefore assessed herein. A full analysis showing the quantification and separation of special and general benefits performed by the City and Assessment Engineer at the time of formation and the establishment of each zone of benefit can be found in the formation and annexation reports for each zone of benefit. A summary of the analysis by improvement type is described below.
Discussion of Benefit
Each of the improvements have been carefully reviewed by the City and the corresponding assessments have been proportionately spread to each parcel based on the special benefits conferred to property from the improvements as determined at the time the District and each subsequent zone of benefit was established.
The District consists of all Assessor Parcels within the boundaries of a zone of benefit. The method of apportioning costs and assessing properties is based upon the proportional special benefits to be conferred by the improvements and services within each zone of benefit to the properties within and outside the boundaries of the District and each zone of benefit. The apportioning of special benefit is a two-step process: the first step is to identify the types of special benefits arising from the improvements and services, and the second step is to allocate the costs and assign assessments to property based on the estimates of the special benefit being conferred to each property.
In determining the proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel, the proximity of the parcel to the public improvements detailed in Part A above, and the capital, maintenance, and operating costs of said public improvements, was considered and analyzed. Due to the close proximity of the parcels to the improvements detailed in Part A above, it has been demonstrated and determined that the parcels are uniquely benefited by, and receive a direct advantage from, and are conferred a particular and distinct special benefit over and above general benefits by said public improvements in a way that is particular and distinct from its effect on other parcels, and that real property in general and the public at large do not share.
In summary, the assessments can only be levied based on the special benefit to property conferred from the installation, maintenance, and servicing of the improvements funded by each zone of benefit within the District. These special benefits are not dependent on any
CITY OF NEWARK PART D
LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. 19 METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT 25 one property owner's use of each zone of benefit’s improvements or their specific demographic status. The basis for these special benefits comes from statutes approved by the California Legislature and other studies that describe the types of benefits received by property from such improvements. The identified special benefits conferred to property from the improvements are summarized as follows.
Special Benefit from Landscape Maintenance
All parcels within each zone of benefit of the District receive special benefit from Landscape Maintenance. Trees, landscaping, hardscapes, ornamental structures, and appurtenant facilities, if well maintained, confer a particular and distinct special benefit upon real property within each zone of benefit by providing beautification, shade and positive enhancement of the community character, attractiveness, and desirability of the surroundings. In addition, all the aforementioned contribute to a specific increase in property desirability and a specific enhancement of the property value of each parcel within each zone of benefit of the District.
In Parkways and Land Values, written by John Nolan and Henry V. Hubbard in 1937, it is stated:
" ... there is no lack of opinion, based on general principles and experience and common sense, that parkways do in fact add value to property, even though the amount cannot be determined exactly .... Indeed, in most cases where public money has been spent on parkways the assumption has been made that the proposed parkway will show a provable financial profit to the City. It has been believed that the establishment of parkways causes a rise in real estate values throughout the City, or in parts of the City, ... " It should be noted that the definition of "parkways" above may include the roadway as well as the landscaping alongside the roadway.
Special Benefit from Street Lighting Maintenance
All parcels within each applicable zone of benefit of the District receive special benefit from Street Lighting Maintenance. The special benefit from street lighting can be measured by increased safety to people and property, as well as the increased availability of lighting.
The safety to people results in a special benefit to parcels because street lighting improves traffic safety during ingress and egress to the property and creates a deterrent to crime against property. The safety to property results in a special benefit to both developed and vacant or undeveloped parcels because street lighting operation, maintenance and servicing provides for the protection of buildings and personal property against crimes such as theft and vandalism.
Additionally, all parcels in the applicable zones of benefit receive a special benefit from the installation, operation, maintenance, and servicing of the street lighting on collector streets.
Collector street lighting benefits properties primarily because the properties, and the persons traveling to and from the properties, are provided safe street access.
CITY OF NEWARK PART D
LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. 19 METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT 26 Special Benefit from Park Maintenance
All parcels within Zones 6 (Tract 8459 – Compass Bay) and 7 (Tract 8453 – Harbor Pointe) receive special benefit from Park Maintenance. The overall quality of life and desirability of an area is enhanced, when public parks and recreational facilities are in place, improved, operable, safe, clean, and properly maintained. Conversely, property desirability decreases when park and recreational facilities are unsafe or destroyed by the elements or vandalism.
Property desirability in an area also increases when there is an increase in the number of parks, recreation centers and sports facilities. These park and recreational facilities enable property owners to participate in sporting events, leisure activities, picnics, organized social events, and other miscellaneous activities.
Studies in several communities, including counties and cities throughout the United States, have indicated that recreation areas and facilities, if well maintained and wisely administered, have caused a marked increase in the property values of parcels in the community. Consequently, such recreation and park facilities have proved a potent factor in maintaining a sound economic condition and a high standard of livability in the community. These studies confirm the opinion, long held by planning authorities, as to the economic value of parks and recreational facilities in a community. “The recreation value is realized as a rise in the value of land and other property in or near the recreation area, and is of both private interest to the landowner and others, holding an economic stake in the area, and of public interest to the taxpayers, who have a stake ...." (National Recreation and Park Association, June 1985)
“Recreation and park amenities are central components in establishing the quality of life in a community. ... [Businesses’] main resource is their employees for whom quality of life is an important issue… The availability and attractiveness of local parks and programs influences some companies’ relocation decisions. ... the presence of a park encourages real estate development around it.... ". (California Parks & Recreation, Winter 1997) The benefit of parks and other recreational facilities to residential and commercial/industrial properties has been summarized by several studies. The United States Department of the Interior, National Park Service, in a publication from June 1984, concluded that:
• Parks and recreation stimulate business and generate tax revenues • Parks and recreation help conserve land, energy, and resources • An investment in parks and recreation helps reduce pollution and noise, makes communities more livable, and increases property values • Public recreation benefits all residents and employers by providing continuing opportunities to maintain a level of fitness throughout one's working life, and through helping individuals cope with the stress of a fast-paced and demanding life
CITY OF NEWARK PART D
LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. 19 METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT 27 Proper maintenance and operation of the parks within the City benefits those properties within the service areas of the parks by providing environmental quality and recreational enhancement.
Special Benefit to Parcels Outside of the District
There are parcels outside each zone of benefit that receive special benefit from some of the improvements. Based on the analysis performed at the time of formation and the establishment of each subsequent annexation, a summary of the percentage of annual costs attributable to special benefits to parcels outside the District by zone of benefit is shown below:
The share of costs attributable to special benefits conferred to parcels outside of each zone of benefit cannot be assessed to properties within each specific zone, but are required to be paid by some other source, such as the City’s General Fund.
General Benefit
The Assessment Engineer at the time of District formation and at the establishment of each subsequent annexation performed an analysis and determined there are general benefits conferred from the landscape and park improvements to the public at large.
Based on these analyses performed by the original Assessment Engineer, a summary of the percentage of annual costs attributable to general benefit are shown below:
The share of costs attributable to the general benefits of each zone of benefit cannot be assessed to properties within each specific zone, but are required to be paid by some other source, such as the City’s General Fund.

CITY OF NEWARK PART D
LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. 19 METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT 28 Method of Assessment
This process of apportioning assessments to each property involves determining the relative special benefit received by each property from the improvements and services.
Since the assessment will be levied against parcels of property as shown on the tax roll, the final charges must be assigned by Assessor's Parcel Number. If assessments were to be spread just by parcel, not considering land use or parcel size, a single family parcel would be paying the same as a 50 unit apartment parcel or a large commercial establishment and this would not be equitable.
Therefore, the City and Engineer at the time of formation and the establishment of each subsequent zone, determined that the most appropriate method of apportioning costs was determined to be spreading each benefit zone costs on an Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EDU) basis. The single family detached residential unit or lot has been selected as the basic unit for calculation of assessments and is defined as one EDU. Each land-use in the District is converted to EDU's. The EDU method is seen as the most appropriate and equitable method of spread of benefit to each parcel from the improvements since it is based on land-use type and parcel size. Property within the District is assigned to one of the following categories.
Single Family Residential. Parcels zoned for single family detached home residential uses are assessed 1 EDU per dwelling unit. Parcels designated as Single Family Residential land-use will be assessed 1 EDU per dwelling unit or lot, including undeveloped subdivided residential lots and vacant land zoned for single family residential uses with a tentative or final tract map.
Multiple Family Residential. Multiple-family residential (including apartments, condominiums, townhomes, and duplexes) land use equivalencies are determined based on the number of dwelling units on each parcel. Due to population density and size of structure relative to the typical single family residence, each dwelling unit defined as multifamily residential, including apartments, condominiums, town homes, and duplexes, are assigned and EDU of 0.75 EDU . The EDU's assigned to a multiple-family residential parcel are calculated by multiplying the number of dwelling units by the EDU Factor of
0.75. Non-Residential. In converting non-residential properties to EDU's, the EDU Factor used in each zone of benefit was determined using the EDU density of the residential property for each zone. During formation and the establishment of each subsequent zone, the number of planned residential EDU located in the zone were divided by the associated acreage to arrive at an EDU factor per acre for non-residential parcels. All properties that are developed for non-residential uses are therefore assigned an EDU factor per acre by zone of benefit, all of which are shown in the table below. Non-Residential may include but not be limited to commercial, industrial, church, school, institutional, and other nonresidential uses.
Undeveloped Parcels. Undeveloped parcels receive a reduced level of benefit as compared to developed parcels. Undeveloped parcels therefore are assessed at 20% of the non-residential rate per acre for each zone of benefit. This includes all lots designated

Exempt Parcels. - Publicly owned properties must be assessed unless there is clear and convincing evidence that those properties receive no special benefit from the improvements. Exempted from the assessment would be the areas of public streets, public avenues, public lanes, public roads, public drives, public courts, public alleys, public easements and rights-of-ways, public greenbelts, public parkways, public property designated open space, and any portion of public property that is not used for business purposes similar to private residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional activities.
Also exempted from the assessments are private streets, utility easements, homeowner’s or property owner’s association common areas (except club houses, community centers, parking lots, etc.) and any other parcels that do not receive a special and direct benefit from the improvements.
The following table summarizes the EDU Factors by zone of benefit for each land use category.
Parcels within each zone may be assessed once it is anticipated that improvements will need to be maintained or reserve funds will need to be collected for the ensuing fiscal year.
The table below summarizes both the maximum and applied assessment rates per EDU for Fiscal Year 2025-26.
Maximum Assessment Rate Increases
The maximum assessment rates for each zone may be adjusted annually by the greater of the annual increase in the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Consumer Price Index for the month of February, All Urban Consumers for the San Francisco/Oakland/San Jose area, or 3%.

SUBJECT Public Hearing Pursuant to Government Code Section 3502.3 Requirements for Reporting on City of Newark Vacancy Rates and Recruitment and Retention Efforts
SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council receive the presentation during the public hearing at which the staff will report on workforce vacancies, recruitment, and retention efforts. The City's recognized employee associations will be provided an opportunity to make a presentation on such subjects. There is no action required.
BACKGROUND
Assembly Bill (AB) 2561, passed in 2024 and codified in Government Code Section 3502.3, requires public agencies to hold at least one (1) public hearing per fiscal year to discuss vacancies, recruitment, and retention efforts. The staff presentation during the public hearing will discuss the City's legal obligations under AB 2561, which took effect January 1, 2025. This presentation and the opportunity provided to employee associations to make their own presentations will ensure compliance with the new law.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
AB 2561 was signed into law on September 22, 2024, and became effective January 1, 2025. AB 2561 was introduced to address the issue of job vacancies in local government, which adversely affects the delivery of public services and employee workload. Among other requirements, the bill mandates that public agencies present the status of vacancies, recruitment, and retention efforts during a public hearing before the agency’s governing body at least once per fiscal year prior to the adoption of the next fiscal year’s budget and identify any necessary changes to policies, procedures, and recruitment activities that may lead to obstacles in the hiring process. Government Code Section 3502.3 entitles recognized employee groups, regardless of the group's vacancy rate, to make a presentation before the governing board of a public agency during the same public hearing in which the public agency makes its annual presentation on vacancies.
This report outlines the City’s workforce composition, vacancy rate, and strategies to attract and retain employees. All data collected is from the 2024-25 fiscal year up to and including May 31, 2025. Staff will present the following required information at the public hearing: status of vacancies, information on the City's recruitment and retention efforts, and any obstacles in the City's recruitment activities that may create challenges in the hiring process.
If the number of job vacancies within a single employee group meets or exceeds 20% of the total number of authorized full-time positions, the staff presentation will also, upon request of the recognized employee group, include the following information:
total number of job vacancies within the employee group, the total number of applicants for vacant positions within the employee group, the average number of days to complete the hiring process from when a position is posted, and opportunities to improve compensation and other working conditions if applicable. Staff has decided to automatically include this information as part of this report.
The City consists of 185 authorized regular full- and part-time positions.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no direct fiscal impact associated with this item.

TO Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM James Scanlin, Environmental Services Manager
SUBJECT Presentation on the City's draft Climate Action Plan update titled "Climate Action Newark" (CAN)
SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION
The City seeks to align with the State’s updated GHG reduction targets and is in the process of preparing an update to the City's 2010 Climate Action Plan. This update, titled, Climate Action Newark (CAN) will provide the City with a roadmap to reduce GHG emissions from activities in Newark over the coming decades.
Staff recommends that the City Council receive an update on the status of developing Climate Action Newark as an update to the 2010 Climate Action Plan.
BACKGROUND
The City has a long history of being proactive in addressing the threat of climate change. In 2007, Mayor David W. Smith signed the U.S. Mayor's Climate Protection Agreement, thereby committing the City to taking action for climate protection. The City adopted a Climate Action Plan in January 2010. The Climate Action Plan set a target to reduce Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions from activities within the city to 1990 levels by 2020. That target was in line with the State of California's target at that time. The City has taken numerous actions prior to and since the adoption of its Climate Action Plan to reduce GHG emissions and achieve its reduction target.
Since the City’s 2010 Climate Action Plan was adopted, the regulatory landscape of climate action has shifted toward dramatic decarbonization efforts. Due to the increasing awareness of the threat that climate change poses, the State has adopted much more aggressive GHG reduction targets. The State adopted a 2030 GHG reduction target of 40% below 1990 levels through Senate Bill (SB) 32. Assembly Bill (AB) 1279 requires the state to achieve net zero GHG emissions as soon as possible but no later than 2045 and to reduce anthropogenic GHG emissions by 85% below 1990 levels by 2045. The California Air Resources Board’s (CARB’s) 2022 Scoping Plan for Achieving Carbon Neutrality lays out a pathway to achieving the AB 1279 targets. In addition, as the state implements GHG regulations impacting new development (e.g., strengthening building energy efficiency standards), the opportunities for additional reductions from new development at the local level diminish. These circumstances underscore the need to focus on actions within the City’s authority and influence to reduce emissions from the existing building stock and built environment (e.g., community and roadway design, energy systems, vehicle fueling and charging) to align with state targets.
Climate Action Newark (CAN) is a comprehensive strategy to mitigate the impacts of climate change and reduce GHG emissions. The guiding principles of the CAN that will drive strategy development include the following:
• Ambitious. The proposed strategies will be ambitious and serve to “move the needle” in reducing GHGs and support community resilience.
• Realistic. While the proposed strategies will be ambitious, their implementation will be realistic and attainable, given local capacity.
• Collaborative. Implementing the proposed strategies will require collaboration and involvement from multiple city departments, the broader community, and other stakeholders. • Comprehensive. The proposed strategies will span a range of sectors within the city and support broader regional initiatives.
• Fair. The proposed strategies will enact solutions that equitably address the sources and risks of climate change and will share the costs and benefits of action across the city. • Beneficial. The proposed strategies aim to improve the city’s livability and the well-being of all community members.
• Specific. The proposed strategies will be as specific as possible, either through the language of the strategies themselves and/or through a suite of later-determined implementation details. Implementation details may include lead and supporting actors, implementing mechanisms, and potential funding sources, among others. Additionally, proposed strategies will be locally relevant, deliver local benefits, and support local priorities.
• Evidence-Based. The proposed strategies will reflect evidence-based knowledge and local understanding and be informed by empirical inputs (e.g., GHG inventory and forecasts). • Transparent. Following an open decision-making process, the implementation of proposed strategies will be tracked, reported on, and evaluated over time to determine any necessary updates or revisions to strategies.
Additionally, implementation of the actions that will be included in the CAN will result in co-benefits.
Co-benefits refer to the additional positive outcomes alongside the primary goal(s) of each strategy upon implementation, and they may manifest across various sectors, including environmental, social, economic, and public health domains. Specific co-benefits that will be evaluated for the strategies included in the CAN include:
• Improved Public Health: This may include, but is not limited to, reduced air pollution (e.g., through reducing vehicle miles traveled and transitioning to cleaner energy sources) and improved mental health (e.g., through access to clean and green spaces).
• Community Cost Savings: This may include, but is not limited to, savings related to energy efficiency (e.g., lower energy bills), infrastructure resilience (e.g., avoidance of costly repairs for damages that would have happened otherwise), and healthcare.
• Environmental Quality: This may include, but is not limited to, biodiversity conservation (e.g., protecting and restoring ecosystems that support essential ecosystem services, such as pollination, water filtration, and carbon sequestration), water conservation, and waste reduction. • Economic Development: This may include, but is not limited to, job creation (e.g., investments in renewable energy, sustainable agriculture, and green infrastructure resulting in economic growth and diversification), innovation and entrepreneurship, and tourism and recreation (e.g., through preserving landscapes and biodiversity hotspots, which can indirectly stimulate local economies and generate revenue).
• Equity: This may include, but is not limited to, social inclusion (e.g., addressing disparities, promoting greater access to resources), environmental justice (e.g., mitigating cumulative impacts from environmental stressors, fair distribution of environmental benefits), and economic empowerment. • Adaptation/Resilience: This may include, but is not limited to, improved infrastructure resilience, improved disaster preparedness, and enhanced community cohesion. • Resource Conservation: This may include, but is not limited to, sustainable resource management (e.g., preservation of natural resources, efficient use of resources, protecting ecosystem services).
Overall, Climate Action Newark will be essential for mitigating climate change, safeguarding the environment, fostering economic growth, and improving the quality of life for current and future generations.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
Staff have prepared a summary of community engagement for the project, as well as strategies and Staff have prepared a summary of community engagement for the project, as well as strategies and actions to meet the GHG emissions reduction targets for 2035 and 2045. Since state and federal legislation will not result in enough emissions reductions to meet Newark’s targets, the City’s strategies and actions will fill this gap, called the “gap analysis.” Community Engagement
Staff engaged the public and its CAN collaborators to inform the development of strategies and actions.
To ensure opportunity for public feedback, staff conducted two community workshops and launched a project website. Workshop #1 was held on September 25, 2024 at the Newark Library. The workshop provided information about CAN and the City’s Sea Level Rise Adaptation Strategy. Participants discussed infrastructure, societal, and environmental vulnerabilities in Newark, as well as community strengths.
Workshop #2 was held on April 17, 2025 in a hybrid format (i.e., both in person and online) to solicit feedback from the public and update community members on the status of CAN. Participants engaged with questions regarding different focus areas and provided feedback using dot stickers on draft strategies and sticky notes with their thoughts on barriers and solutions to reducing emissions/activity levels.
A project website was developed and launched in February 2025 and includes opportunities for engagement and education through an interactive map activity, discussion boards, and a survey. Staff promoted the website on the City’s website, social media platforms, and through the City’s newsletter.
GHG Emissions Forecasts
After completing the GHG emissions inventory, staff prepared the emissions forecast analysis. The purpose of GHG emissions forecast analysis is to estimate how GHG emissions may evolve in the future given changes in population and housing, economic growth, and how state and federal legislation may help to reduce local emissions. Two forecast scenarios were prepared that provide an assessment of how emissions generated by activities will change over time: business-as-usual (BAU) forecast and legislative-adjusted BAU forecast. The BAU forecast represents future emissions without further state, federal, regional, or local action while accounting for the city’s population, employment, and land use change(s). This scenario is considered highly conservative and unrealistic as it does not take into account known effects of current regulations on future emissions.
The legislative-adjusted BAU emissions forecast uses the same demographic and VMT data that were used for the BAU forecast, while also accounting for state and federal policies and regulations that would affect local emissions. For example, growth in residential building electricity consumption was scaled using housing units as the growth scaling factor, and a legislative reduction was applied to incorporate the California Code of Regulations, Title 24, Part 6 building energy efficiency standards for new development.
The GHG reductions considered in the legislative-adjusted BAU forecast fall generally into four categories: building energy efficiency standards, fuel efficiency standards, electric vehicle sales requirements, and renewable and zero-carbon electricity requirements. The primary drivers of the emissions reductions are the requirements of SB 100 and SB 1020 (carbon-free electricity), as well as increased electric vehicle penetration from the Advanced Clean Cars II regulation. These forecasts provide the City with a more robust understanding of future emissions to assist with the prioritization of emissions reduction measures developed to meet GHG targets.
The following table shows the results of the legislative-adjusted BAU forecast for Newark over several horizon years, comparing the results with the 2022 inventory.
Table 1: Legislation-Adjusted GHG Emissions Forecast
Gap Analysis
After completing the GHG emissions forecast, staff conducted a “gap analysis” to determine the quantity of emissions reductions necessary for the City to meet its 2035 and 2045 GHG reduction targets. The City’s targets represent the fair share of GHG emissions that should be reduced to align with SB 32 and AB 1279, accounting for the sources of emissions generated in Newark. The CAN GHG emissions reduction targets are as follows:
• 2035 target: 58 percent below 2022 levels (155,678 MTCO2e), and • 2045 target: 88 percent below 2022 levels (45,139 MTCO2e).
The following chart depicts the legislative-adjusted BAU forecasts by sector, as distinguished by colored wedges, and the City’s emissions reduction targets relative to the 2022 emissions inventory.
The space between the trajectory of the black line (i.e., targets) and the top of the colored wedges (i.e., forecasted emissions) represents the “gap” in emissions that will need to be addressed through local actions for the City to meet its GHG reduction targets.
Figure 1: Legislation-Adjusted GHG Emissions Forecast
Table 2: Additional Emission Reductions Needed to Meet Target Staff developed a total of 28 strategies that would close the remaining emissions “gap” between target emissions reductions and reductions from legislation. The strategies are organized under categories that generally align with the emissions sectors: building energy (e.g., residential and nonresidential building energy use), on-road transportation, off-road vehicles and equipment, solid waste, water, and wastewater. GHG emissions reductions were quantified for strategies wherever supporting data and reasonable assumptions were available to support calculations. Strategies and associated emissions reductions are illustrated in the following table.

Remaining Gap to Target -635 2,251
Out of all the identified strategies, those responsible for the largest emissions reductions include: EN-1, EN-2, TR-4, and RES-2. These four strategies make up 91% of total emissions reductions. A majority of emissions reductions are from transportation and building energy, as these are the two largest sources of emissions in Newark. Estimated reductions from strategies would meet the City’s 2035 emissions reduction target but fall short of the 2045 emissions reduction target by 2,251 MTCO2e. Although the 2045 target would not be achieved based on the estimated GHG reductions, the 2045 remaining emissions would achieve nearly 96 percent of the Scoping Plan target. The figure below displays the legislative emissions reductions and strategy emissions reductions.
