DATE 05/14/2026
TO Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM Tim Au, Associate Civil Engineer
SUBJECT Approve the plans and specifications, and adopt a resolution awarding a contract to A CST Group, Inc, dba Dynasel USA for the Jerry Raber Ash Street Park - Updated Playground & Park Furnishings (CIP1407), Mirabeau Park - Updated Playground (CIP1408), and Birch Grove Park - Updated Playground (CIP 1409) projects
SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION
Jerry Raber Ash Street Park - Updated Playground & Park Furnishings (CIP 1407), Mirabeau Park - Updated Playground (CIP1408), and Birch Grove Park - Updated Playground (CIP 1409) projects are all high priority park projects identified in the Citywide Parks Master Plan Update.
These three projects were competitively bid in accordance with City procurement requirements. The invitation to bid was publicly advertised on March 10, 2026, for a six-week period. Bids were opened on April 21, 2026, and the City received seven bids.
The lowest responsive and responsible bidder is A CST Group, Inc., dba Dynasel USA, with a total bid of $2,570,514, including base bid and bid alternates.
This action is limited to the three projects identified above. The Newark Community Park all-abilities/all-inclusive playground is a separate project. That project requires additional design development, including accessible pathways, grading, and stormwater improvements, and is currently being advanced with the City’s landscape architect, Verde Design. It is anticipated to be brought forward for bidding later in the calendar year.
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the plans and specifications for CIP Projects 1407, 1408, and 1409, and adopt a resolution awarding a construction contract to A CST Group, Inc., dba Dynasel USA in the amount of $2,570,514, which includes the base bid and bid alternates. Staff further recommends authorizing a 15% construction contingency of $385,578, for a total project authorization of $2,956,092.
BACKGROUND
On November 11th 2024, City Council approved the Citywide Parks Master Plan Update (Master Plan) that included 111 projects that modernize or add amenities to the City's 14 parks with an estimated costs of over $37 Million.
On October 23rd, 2025, a Special City Council Meeting was held to discuss proposed amendments to the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), including new projects to update the playgrounds at Birch Grove, Mirabeau, and Jerry Raber Ash Street Parks. City Council members expressed support of these park projects and there were no public comments.
Following the Special City City Council Meeting, at the Regular City Council Meeting on October 23rd, 2025, California State Senator Dr. Aisha Wahab presented one-million dollars in state funding to the City of Newark to support improvements at Jerry Raber Ash Street Park. The additional funding allowed the addition of park furnishings and amenities to the Jerry Raber Ash Street Park project.
On November 13th, 2025, City Council adopted a resolution amending the 2024-2026 Biennial Budget and Capital Improvement Plan to add capital improvement projects and corresponding project appropriations for several projects, including the Birch Grove Park - Updated Playgrounds, Mirabeau Park - Updated Playground, and Jerry Raber Ash Street Park - Updated Playground and Park Furnishings. During discussion, Council members expressed a desire to have unique play equipment, to have different themes at different parks, to solicit community feedback, and for the City Council to review the park projects prior to Construction.
On January 22nd, 2026, City Council adopted a resolution approving the acceptance of State General Fund Grant Funds (Grant) for Jerry Raber Ash Street Park - Updated Playgrounds and Park Furnishings (CIP 1407), approving the project information form, and appointing the City Manager or their designee to execute documents as necessary to effectuate utilization of the Grant to complete the project.
On February 12th, 2026, staff presented an informal report with a summary of community feedback and an overview of the design of the parks to the Council. Council members provided feedback, and expressed support for moving these projects forward.
On March 10th, 2026, staff issued bids consistent with the conceptual plans presented to the Council on February 12th.

The engineer's estimate for the base bid was $2,838,560 and $404,680 for the bid alternates for the total engineer's estimate of the project of $3,243,240.

SUBJECT Adopt a resolution for approval of the Annual Engineer's Reports and adopt a resolution declaring the City’s intention to levy and collect assessments for Landscaping and Lighting District Nos. 1, 2, 4, 7, 11, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20 for Fiscal Year 2026-27 and setting a public hearing for July 9, 2026 in accordance with the provisions of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972
SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council: (1) by resolution, approve the Annual Engineer’s Reports; and, (2) by resolution, declare an intention to levy and collect assessments for Landscaping and Lighting District Nos. 1, 2, 4, 7, 11, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20 for Fiscal Year 2026-27 and set the date for the annual public hearing for July 9, 2026 in accordance with the provisions of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972.
The City of Newark (the “City”) previously established Landscaping and Lighting District Nos. 1, 2, 4, 7, 11, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20 (the “Districts”) to fund ongoing landscaping and lighting maintenance and improvements at various locations in the City. Pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 (the “Act”), the City Council must annually approve Engineer’s Reports to levy and collect assessments on the ensuing fiscal year’s property tax roll. On March 26, 2026, the City Council initiated Fiscal Year 2026-27 proceedings for the levy and collection of assessments and directed staff to prepare and file the required Engineer's Reports, including the proposed assessments, for City Council's approval. The City has contracted with Francisco and Associates to prepare the Fiscal Year 2026-27 Engineer’s Reports and assist with the annual administration process.
Approval allows the City to continue collecting approximately $434,200 in district-restricted revenue to fund ongoing landscaping and lighting maintenance services.
BACKGROUND
The City Council previously established the Districts to provide for the annual operation The City Council previously established the Districts to provide for the annual operation and maintenance of certain landscaping and lighting improvements benefiting property within the Districts as summarized on the following pages.
Landscaping and Lighting District No. 1: Central Avenue between Filbert Street and Willow Street - Provides for the maintenance of median landscaping on Central Avenue between Filbert Street and Willow Street and buffer landscaping adjacent to the Alameda County Flood Control channel immediately west of Filbert Street, and for the maintenance and operation of median streetlights along this portion of Central Avenue.
Landscaping and Lighting District No. 2: Jarvis Avenue and Newark Boulevard adjacent to Dumbarton Technology Park and Four Corners shopping centers – Provides for the maintenance of Jarvis Avenue and Newark Boulevard median island and in-tract buffer landscaping and landscape irrigation systems adjacent to and within the boundaries of Tract 5232, the Dumbarton Industrial Park, and the Four Corners shopping centers.
Landscaping and Lighting District No. 4: Stevenson Boulevard and Cherry Street adjacent to New Technology Park - Provides for the maintenance of Stevenson Boulevard median island landscaping from the Nimitz Freeway to the railroad tracks west of Cherry Street and maintenance of median islands and up to 50 feet of greenbelt landscaping adjacent to Cherry Street and the interior loop streets within the boundaries of Stevenson Point Technology Park, the maintenance of landscaping across from the Newark Unified School District property on Cherry Street, and the street lighting maintenance, trash capture device maintenance, and neighborhood park maintenance related to Benefit Zone No. 2 (Sanctuary).
Landscaping and Lighting District No. 7: Newark Boulevard and Rosemont Square Shopping Center – Provides for the maintenance of buffer landscaping and the landscape irrigation system within the public right-of-way and easement areas for Rosemont Square Shopping Center.
Landscaping and Lighting District No. 11: Edgewater Drive - Provides for the maintenance of landscaped medians on Edgewater Drive.
Landscaping and Lighting District No. 15: Robertson Avenue at Iris Court - Provides for the maintenance of the landscaping and irrigation systems on Robertson Avenue at Iris Court.
Landscaping and Lighting District No. 16: Kiote Drive in Tract 6671 – Provides for the maintenance of landscaping and the landscape irrigation system within the public right-of-way and adjacent easement along the street frontage of Kiote Drive in Tract 6671, along with the landscaping, irrigation system, recreation facilities associated with the mini-park common area and any related appurtenant improvements.
Landscaping and Lighting District No. 17: Newark Boulevard and Mayhews Landing Road in Tract 7004 – Provides for the maintenance of landscaping and the landscape irrigation system within the public right-of-way of the Newark Boulevard and Mayhews Landing Road frontages of Tract 7004.
Landscaping and Lighting District No. 18: Cedar Boulevard along the frontage of Tract 8130 – Provides for the maintenance of landscaping and the landscape irrigation system within the Cedar Boulevard median area along the frontage of Tract 8130 between Central Avenue and Smith Avenue.
Landscaping and Lighting District No. 19: Willow Street and Enterprise Drive in the Bayside Newark Transit Oriented Development – Provides for the maintenance of landscaping and the landscape irrigation system within the Willow Street and Enterprise Drive medians and traffic circles, maintenance of public street lighting systems, and maintenance of other improvements related to each benefit zone associated with the Bayside Newark Transit Oriented Development.
Landscaping and Lighting District No. 20: Cedar Boulevard along the frontage of Tract 8583 – Provides for the maintenance of landscaping, landscape irrigation systems, and street lighting along the frontage of Tract 8583, including the medians along Cedar Boulevard.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
All of the Districts, except Landscaping and Lighting District No. 4 (Zone 2), Landscaping and Lighting District No. 19 (All Benefit Zones), and Landscaping and Lighting District No. 20, were established without an assessment rate escalator, which has resulted in stagnant assessment revenues. Meanwhile, operating and maintenance costs have continued to increase, causing several Districts to begin experiencing annual operating deficits. Landscaping and Lighting District No. 7 is currently the most impacted and has accumulated a fund deficit. During FY 2026-27, F&A will assist the City with performing an initial review of the Districts that are currently experiencing funding shortfalls and evaluate viable options going forward.
There are no new improvements or substantial changes to existing improvements associated with the Districts for Fiscal Year 2026-27. City staff is recommending Fiscal Year 2026-27 assessments for the Districts be levied in alignment with recent years at or below the respective authorized maximum rates to pay for operation and maintenance of landscaping and lighting improvements. For Landscaping and Lighting District Nos. 1, 2, 4 (Benefit Zone 1), 7, 11, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 (Benefit Zone 7) and 20, the authorized maximum assessment rates are recommended to be levied for Fiscal Year 2026-27. For Landscaping and Lighting District Nos. 4 (Benefit Zone No. 2) and 19 (Benefit Zones 1-6), assessment rates below the authorized maximum are proposed to be levied for Fiscal Year 2026-27.
FISCAL IMPACT
If assessments for the Districts are not levied, there would be a total revenue loss of If assessments for the Districts are not levied, there would be a total revenue loss of approximately $434,200 for Fiscal Year 2026-27.
These funds are restricted to each district and support ongoing landscaping and lighting maintenance.
Absent this revenue, the City would need to reduce service levels within the districts or identify alternative funding sources, which could impact the General Fund or other City resources.

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.

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 2026-27, 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 2026-27 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.

LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. 2 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 2026-27.

Landscaping and Lighting District No. 2
Fiscal Year 2026-27 Cost Estimate
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.

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 2026-27, 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 2026-27 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.

Fiscal Year 2026-27 Cost Estimate
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.

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,

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

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 2026-27.
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.

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.

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 2026-27, 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 2026- 27 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.

LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. 11 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. 11 (“District”) to maintain public improvements. The District was formed to provide a dedicated source of funding for the ongoing maintenance of median-landscape improvements within and adjacent to 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 south of Interstate 880, west of Elmwood Avenue and Blackwood Drive, north of Cedar Boulevard and those properties along and north of Lake Boulevard, and east of State Route 84. 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 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 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 2026-27.

Landscaping and Lighting District No. 11
Fiscal Year 2026-27 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 2026-27, 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 2026-27 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.

CITY OF NEWARK PART B
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.

Landscaping and Lighting District No. 15
Fiscal Year 2026-27 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.

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 2026-27, 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 2026-27 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 2026-27 assessments to be levied upon each assessable lot or parcel within the District.
The City will hold a Public Hearing on July 9, 2026, 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.

Fiscal Year 2026-27 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 2026-27, 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 2026-27 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 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 2026-27 assessments to be levied upon each assessable lot or parcel within the District.
The City will hold a Public Hearing on July 9, 2026, 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. 17 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 2026-27.

Landscaping and Lighting District No. 17
Fiscal Year 2026-27 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 2026-27, 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 2026-27 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.

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 2026-27 assessments to be levied upon each assessable lot or parcel within the District.
The City will hold a Public Hearing on July 9, 2026, 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.

Fiscal Year 2026-27 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 2026-27, 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 2026-27 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 2026-27 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 July 9, 2026, 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.

FISCAL YEAR 2026-27
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. 20 INTRODUCTION
1 SECTION I
INTRODUCTION
ENGINEER’S REPORT
FORMATION OF LANDSCAPING & LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. 20
FISCAL YEAR 2026-27
The City of Newark (“City”) levies and collects special assessments on parcels within the City of Newark Landscaping and Lighting District No. 20 (“District”) to maintain public improvements. The District was formed in June 2025 to provide a dedicated source of funding for the ongoing maintenance of median and frontage landscaping and street lighting 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 consists of those properties within Tract 8583 which is located north side of Cedar Boulevard, between Moores Avenue and Smith 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 2026-27 assessments to be levied upon each assessable lot or parcel within the District.
The City will hold a Public Hearing on July 9, 2026, 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
CITY OF NEWARK SECTION I
LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. 20 INTRODUCTION
2 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 SECTION II
LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. 20 PART B
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.

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.

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.
ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY
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.
