STAFF REPORT
Date: May 21, 2025 Agenda Item:

3.E.

To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Lisette Free, City Manager
Prepared By: Matt Boudreaux, IT Manager
Department: IT
SUBJECT:

Approval of Three-Year Enterprise Agreement with ESRI, Inc. for GIS Software Licensing and Services
RECOMMENDATION:

Authorize the City Manager to execute a three-year Enterprise Agreement with ESRI, Inc. for geographic information system (GIS) software licensing and support services in an amount not to exceed $87,900 over the three-year term.

SUMMARY:

Staff recommends entering into a three-year Enterprise Agreement with Environmental Systems Research Institute, Inc. (ESRI) to ensure continuity, cost stability, and strategic software access across City departments. The proposed agreement will lock in annual licensing costs for the next three years under ESRI’s small government program and continue to support the City's expanding GIS infrastructure.

BACKGROUND:

In May 2016, the City entered into its first Enterprise Agreement with ESRI, Inc. to support the development of a centralized Geographic Information System (GIS) platform. Since that time, GIS has become a core operational tool used to support dayto-day functions such as infrastructure planning, utility mapping, asset management, permit and zoning review, service request tracking, and capital project coordination. GIS is embedded across multiple City departments including Public Works, Community Development, Facilities and Maintenance, and Finance.

GIS is also integrated with several of the City’s enterprise systems, including financial and permitting systems, asset management tools, utility meter platforms, citizen service request portals, and capital project mapping tools. These integrations support the IT Master Plan by enabling real-time updates between field and office staff, reducing

redundant data entry across departments, and enhancing visibility into infrastructure assets, public service requests, and project status.

The City entered into its first ESRI Enterprise Agreement in 2016 with the current agreement set to expire in June 2025. Staff recommends executing a new three-year agreement to ensure uninterrupted GIS access, predictable annual budgeting, and support for ongoing expansion and integration of GIS services.

This purchase qualifies as a single-source purchase, as ESRI is the sole provider of all U.S. domestic Enterprise Agreements. These agreements are bundled packages that include the necessary licensing software, maintenance, and online services required for the continued operation of the City’s GIS system.

Separately, the City Council awarded a contract to Infinity Technologies, Inc. in May 2023 to provide GIS maintenance and on-call support services. As the City does not currently have dedicated in-house GIS staff, it relies on third-party vendor support for the ongoing operation and development of its GIS platform. Infinity Technologies continues to provide this support through a combination of on-site and remote services, including data development, system integration, and user assistance across departments.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The total cost for the three-year ESRI Enterprise Agreement is $87,900, which will be paid in three equal annual installments of $29,300 per year. Funding for each year will be allocated equally between the Water Fund Operating Account (124.804.34100) and the Sewer Fund Operating Account (126.809.34100), with each fund contributing $14,650 annually. Future ESRI licensing costs will continue to be included in the respective enterprise fund budgets for future fiscal years.

To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Amanda Hamilton, Facilities and Maintenance
Director
Prepared By: Amanda Hamilton, Facilities and Maintenance Director
Department: Facilities and Maintenance
SUBJECT:

Approve purchase of a Utility Bed Service Truck for the Facilities Maintenance Division RECOMMENDATION:

Approve purchase of a Utility Bed Service Truck in the amount of $70,716 for the Facilities Maintenance Division.

SUMMARY:

The Fiscal Year 2024-25 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Budget allocated $100,000 for a new Utility Bed Service Truck to replace the 2009 Ford F250 used by the Facilities Maintenance Division, which is no longer reliable due to age and mechanical issues. On March 19, 2025, the City issued a Notice of Inviting Bid, receiving two proposals: Premier Chrysler of Buena Park at $70,716 and Transwest Truck Center at $95,057. Premier Chrysler is the lowest-responsive bidder in the amount of $70,716.

BACKGROUND:

In the Approved Fiscal Year 2024-25 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Budget, a total of $100,000 was allocated for the purchase of a new Utility Bed Service Truck to support the operational needs of the Facilities Maintenance Division. The existing vehicle, a 2009 Ford F250, has been in service for 15 years and is experiencing significant mechanical failures, particularly with the motor. This truck is vital to the daily operations of the Facilities Maintenance Division, as it is used to transport tools and materials for repairs at the City's public buildings and facilities.

Due to the truck's age, the accumulated wear and tear, and the escalating maintenance costs, the need for a replacement has become urgent. The current vehicle also features a utility body, which is essential for storing and organizing the tools required for

maintenance tasks. Therefore, it is critical that the Facilities Maintenance Division acquires a new truck that meets these operational requirements.

On March 19, 2025, the City of Norco issued a Notice of Inviting Bid (NIB) for the purchase of a Utility Bed Service Truck through the Planet Bids Portal. The NIB was advertised in The Press-Enterprise newspaper on March 25, 2025, and April 6, 2025.

The affidavit of publication is attached to this report. Bids were due by April 21, 2025, and a total of two bids were received, as detailed below:

1. Premier Chrysler of Buena Park – $70,716

2. Transwest Truck Center – $95,057
Premier Chrysler of Buena Park is the lowest-responsive bidder, offering a 2025 Dodge 2500 Tradesman Crew Cab 4x2 at the price of $70,716. This bid includes the following specifications:
 6.4L V8 HEMI HD Engine
 8-speed automatic transmission
 LED lighting package for enhanced safety
 Utility bed with a ladder rack to support the transport of materials and tools to various job sites throughout the City
The total bid amount of $70,716 includes the cost of the truck, utility body, sales tax, licensing, and all related fees.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The purchase of the Utility Bed Service Truck was approved as part of the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for the Fiscal Year 2024-25, with an allocated budget of $100,000 from the Vehicle Replacement Fund (128.737.43110). The available funds in this account are sufficient to cover the total cost of the purchase, which amounts to $70,716.

RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN:

This item closely aligns with Strategic Directive No. 5 – Infrastructure and Asset Management: Ensure timely preservation, replacement, improvement and acquisition of infrastructure and capital assets.

STAFF REPORT
Date: May 21, 2025 Agenda Item:

3.G.

To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Alma Robles, Community Development Director
Prepared By: Alma Robles, Community Development Director Department: Planning
SUBJECT:

Approval of an amendment to the contract with Sargent Town Planning (STP) to update the City of Norco's Objective Development Standards (ODS), for additional services thereby increasing the contract amount by $10,000.

RECOMMENDATION:

Approve the amendment to the contract with STP to update the City's Objective Development Standards (ODS) for Mixed-Use and Multifamily Development Projects, for additional services in the amount not to exceed $10,000.

SUMMARY:

On November 2024, the City Council approved a contract authorizing STP to update/refine the City's existing Objective Development Standards (ODS) for Mixed-Use and Multifamily Development Projects. The requested amendment will allow for additional services to strengthen the presentation of the final ODS document.

BACKGROUND:

STP is providing professional services to assist the City of Norco in refining and expanding its ODS for mixed-use and multifamily development projects to ensure development is compatible with Norco’s community character. The cost of the original contract was for an amount not to exceed $50,000.

The consensus between staff and STP during the review process of the first updated draft, was that the exhibits needed further refinement to better convey to property owners and future developers Norco’s unique agrarian, small town character. Further refinement of the exhibits will incur additional costs that were not anticipated in the original contract. In addition, staff has determined that STP should be present at the adoption hearings to convey the updated ODS to both the Planning Commission and City Council.

The cost for these additional items are not to exceed $10,000. This amount will be offset by a reimbursement through the Local Early Action Planning (LEAP) grant in the amount of $20,000 for the ODS update.
(Note: The City was awarded the LEAP grant back in 2022 in the amount of $149,500.

The LEAP provides grants that assist local governments in the preparation and adoption of planning documents and process improvements that accelerate housing production, and compliance and implementation of the 6th cycle regional housing needs assessment.)
Staff is nearing the completion of the updated ODS draft, which is planned to go before the Planning Commission on June 11, 2025, and then to the City Council in July.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The cost for these additional items is not to exceed $10,000. This amount will be offset by a reimbursement through the Local Early Action Planning (LEAP) grant in the amount of $20,000 for the ODS update. The cost for contractual services related to the Planning Division will be reduced by $20,000 in the Fiscal Year 2024-25 under the General Fund.

RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN:

This item is consistent with Strategic Plan Direction No. 3 - Economic Development and Financial Stability: Assure financial stability by expanding development efforts, diversifying revenue sources and continuing prudent financial management.

DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS
A. INTRODUCTION & OVERVIEW:

Sargent Town Planning (STP) provides the following additional services proposal to the City of Norco (Client) to provide the following additional professional services for updating Norco’s Objective Design Standards (ODS):

3.H.

To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Amanda Hamilton, Facilities and Maintenance
Director
Prepared By: Amanda Hamilton, Facilities and Maintenance Director
Department: Facilities and Maintenance
SUBJECT:

Order of Procedure and Approve Resolutions Necessary for the Annual Assessment Levy Continuing Landscape Maintenance Districts No. 1 – Beazer, Tract 28765; No. 2 – Western Pacific, Tract 25779; No. 3 – Centex, Tract 28626; No. 4 – Norco Ridge Ranch, Tracts 29588 and 29589; and No. 5 – Hawk’s Crest, Tract 30230 RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt the following Resolutions approving the Preliminary Engineer’s Reports and the additional Resolutions providing for an Annual Levy of Assessments and setting the Public Hearing date for June 4, 2025, for each District.

Resolution No. 2025-18, LMD No. 1 (Beazer); Resolution No. 2025-19, LMD No. 2 (Western Pacific); Resolution No. 2025-20, LMD No. 3 (Centex); Resolution No. 2025-21, LMD No. 4 (Norco Ridge Ranch); Resolution No. 2025-22, LMD No. 5 (Hawk’s Crest), approving the Engineer’s Preliminary Report for the Annual Levy of Assessments for the Fiscal Year 2025-2026 in said Districts; Resolution No. 2025-23, LMD No. 1 (Beazer); Resolution No. 2025-24, LMD No. 2 (Western Pacific); Resolution No. 2025-25, LMD No. 3 (Centex); Resolution No. 2025-26, LMD No. 4 (Norco Ridge Ranch); Resolution No. 2025-27, LMD No. 5 (Hawk’s Crest), Declaring City’s Intention to Provide for an Annual Levy and Collection of Assessments for Certain Maintenance in an Existing District, and Setting a Time and Place for the Public Hearing.

SUMMARY:

As stipulated in the “Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972,” the continuation of an existing maintenance district assessment must be reviewed and approved each fiscal year. The attached resolutions provide for the proper continuation of the Districts as well as the assessments. The proposed 5% increase in Landscape Maintenance District 1 and the CPI increases in Landscape Maintenance Districts No. 2 through No. 5 will not

require a majority protest vote from the property owners since the increase in assessments was allowed for in the formation of the Districts.

BACKGROUND:

The "Landscaping and Lighting Act" of 1972 mandates that an Engineer’s Report for existing landscape maintenance districts (LMDs) must be reviewed and approved annually to continue assessments for the districts. The formation of LMD No. 1 allows the Maximum Assessment Rate to increase by 5% annually. For the remaining four districts, the maximum annual maintenance assessment rates may be increased each year by the annual change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI), during the preceding year ending in March, for the Riverside, San Bernardino, and Ontario areas. The annual CPI ending March 31, 2025, was 2.53%.

Each district will only assess the amount necessary to cover the costs in that district, so levying at the Maximum Assessment Rate may or may not be required during any fiscal year. The tables below show both the current year and the prior year Maximum Assessment Rate, as well as the rate that will be applied for the current fiscal year. At no time, will any district be assessed an amount greater than the Maximum Assessment Rate.

The following information applies to each Landscape Maintenance District as designated:

LMD No. 1 - On February 3, 1999, City Council adopted Landscape Maintenance District No. 1 for Tract 28765 (Beazer Homes) comprised of 67 lots. The District was formed to maintain landscaping along the River Road frontage of the tract. The maximum assessment rate will be applied to this district due to the lack of reserves, Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) will not be scheduled for this district at this time.

LMD No. 2 - On January 27, 2000, the City Council established Landscape Maintenance District No. 2 for Tract No. 25799 (Western Pacific), which includes 219 assessable lots. This district is responsible for maintaining the landscaping along Norco Hills Road and Hidden Valley Parkway, as well as selected interior slopes, wetlands, equestrian trails, and Norco Hills Park. In 2023, the Proposition 218 Ballot Measure to increase funding for this district did not pass. As a result, the City had to remove the old playground equipment at Norco Hills Park, as it had exceeded its useful life.

Additionally, the temporary restroom at Norco Hills Park was removed to help manage the district's cash flow and incidental costs. The maximum assessment rate will be

applied to this district due to the lack of sufficient Operating and Capital reserves, Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) will not be scheduled for this district at this time.

LMD No. 3 - On June 6, 2001, the City Council adopted Landscape Maintenance District No. 3 for Tract 28626 (Centex), which comprises 82 lots. This district was established to maintain landscaping along Norco Hills Road, certain designated slopes within the district, and all equestrian trails in the development. In 2023, the Proposition 218 Ballot Measure to increase funding for this district did not pass. Consequently, proposed cuts to the non-functional turf are being considered as a cost-saving measure and to comply with water conservation efforts. The maximum assessment rate will be applied to this district due to the lack of sufficient Operating and Capital reserves, Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) will not be scheduled for this district at this time.

LMD No. 4 - On October 2, 2002, the City Council adopted Landscape Maintenance District No. 4 for Tracts 29588 and 29589 (Norco Ridge Ranch), comprising 557 singlefamily developed lots, of which 25 lots receive only trail maintenance benefits, and five other undeveloped lots, totaling 562 assessable lots. This District was established to maintain landscaping within designated slopes, both irrigated and non-irrigated, fuel modification areas, parkway landscaping, equestrian trails, natural open spaces, wetlands areas, and Ridge Ranch Park. The Operating and Capital Improvement Funds for this District are fully funded; therefore, there is no need to assess the maximum assessment rates for this District.

LMD No. 5 – On January 7, 2004 City Council adopted Landscape District No. 5 for Tract 30230 (Hawks Crest) comprised of 50 lots. The District was formed to maintain certain exterior slopes, parkway landscaping, equestrian trails, two park lots, and Hawks Crest Park. The Operating and Capital Improvement Funds for this District are fully funded; therefore, there is no need to assess the maximum assessment rate for this District.

Below is a summary of the Operating and CIP Reserve fund information for all five Districts:

The Engineer’s Report includes the estimated fund balance for Fiscal Year ending June 30, 2025 and the cash flow funding needs. Each district requires a six-month cash flow reserve to sustain the District from the beginning of the fiscal year (July 1) until the City receives from the County of Riverside, its first assessment payment, six months later. If the City does not have this reserve, the general fund reserves must “carry” the District.

The “estimated unfunded needs” is the difference between the “fund balance” and the “needs.”

Below is a summary of the services provided in each maintenance district:

The observation line item for each District funds the LMD Inspector. The observation line item is broken into percentages based on the size and demand of the District. The breakdown is as follows:

Staff recommends that the members of the City Council approve the Preliminary Engineer’s Report for the continuation of the Landscape Maintenance Districts to guarantee that landscaping within each district remains attractive and well maintained and set the Public Hearing for the five districts for June 4, 2025.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Not applicable for this item.

RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN:

This item is consistent with Strategic Direction No. 3. Economic Development and Financial Stability: Assure financial stability by expanding development efforts, diversifying revenue sources and continuing prudent financial management.

Engineer’s Report for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 1
Overview
On February 3, 1999, the City Council of the City of Norco, California, pursuant to the provisions of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, Part 2 (commencing with Section 22500) of Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code (the “Act”) adopted its Resolution of the City Council of the City of Norco Initiating Proceedings for the Formation for a Maintenance Assessment District and thereafter formed Landscape Maintenance District No. 1 (Beazer).

This Report describes the District, the improvements, and the proposed assessments to be levied against properties in connection with the benefits the properties will receive from the maintenance and servicing of the District improvements for Fiscal Year 2025-2026. The annual assessments to be levied on properties within the District provide a funding source for the continued operation and maintenance of local landscaping improvements installed in connection with the development of properties within the District. Each fiscal year, the City establishes the District’s assessments based on an estimate of the costs to maintain, operate and service the landscaping improvements and based upon available revenues including fund balances and assessment limits. The costs of the improvements and the proposed annual assessments budgeted and assessed against properties within the District may include: the estimated expenditures for regular annual maintenance and repairs; incidental expenditures related to the operation and administration of the District and the collection of adequate funds for operational reserves or periodic expenditures including installments collected for long-term improvement projects. Each parcel is assessed proportionately for only those improvements, services, and expenses for which the parcel will receive special benefit.

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

Description of Improvements and Services
The improvements are the operation, maintenance, and servicing of landscaping, wetlands, horse trails, hardscape masonry, and appurtenant facilities including but not limited to personnel, electrical energy, utilities such as water, materials, contracting services, and other items necessary for the satisfactory operation of these services, described as follows:

Landscaping, planting, shrubbery, trees, irrigation, hardscapes, masonry wall surfaces, fixtures, and appurtenant facilities in the River Road public right-of-way (parkway area), along the frontage and adjacent to the boundary of the Landscape Maintenance District. A reduced scale plan depicting the improvements is attached hereto. • Landscape maintenance includes all pruning, weed and pest control, fertilization, turf care, trash and debris cleanup, irrigation to include maintenance and repair, water cost, electrical cost for controllers, tree trimming up to 15 feet, tree staking, backflow testing, rodent control and plant replacements. • Hardscape Masonry includes graffiti removal, repair cracks, heaving and breakage.

2. Cost Estimate
City of Norco Landscape Maintenance District No. 1
Engineer’s Report for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 2
The estimated costsfor the operation, maintenance and servicing of the facilities,shown below, are the estimated costs of maintenance if the facilities were fully maintained for Fiscal Year 2025‐2026. The 1972 Act provides that the total cost of the maintenance and services, together with incidental expenses, may be financed from the assessment proceeds. The incidental expenses may include engineering fees, legal fees, printing, mailing, postage, publishing, and all other related costs identified with district proceedings.

The 1972 Act requires that a special fund be set up for the revenues and expenditures of the District.  Funds raised by assessments shall be used only for the purposes as stated herein.  A contribution to the District by the City may be made to reduce assessments, as the City Council deems appropriate.  Any balance remaining on July 1 must be carried over to the next fiscal year.  The estimated fund deficit for Fiscal Year ending June 30, 2026, is $6,320.66.

The cost of servicing, maintaining, repairing, and replacing the actual improvements as described in the Plans and Specifications are summarized below.

3. Method of Apportionment
City of Norco Landscape Maintenance District No. 1
Engineer’s Report for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 4
Proposition 218 Compliance
On November 5, 1996, California voters approved Proposition 218, entitled “Right to Vote on Taxes Act,” which added Article XIII D to the California Constitution. While its title refers only to taxes, Proposition 218 establishes new procedural requirements for the formation and administration of assessment districts. Proposition 218 also requires that with certain specified exceptions, which are described below, all existing assessment districts must be ratified by the property owners within the District using the new procedures.

Some of these exceptions include:

1. Any assessments imposed exclusively to finance the capital cost or maintenance and operation expenses for streets.

2. Any assessments levied pursuant to a petition signed by the persons owning all of the parcels subject to the assessment at the time the assessment was initially imposed.

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

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

Proposition 218 defines “assessment” as “any levy or charge upon real property by an agency for a special benefit conferred upon the real property.” Cal. Const., art. XIII D, §2(b). A special assessment, sometimes called a “benefit assessment,” is a charge generally levied upon parcels of real property to pay for benefits the parcels receive from local improvements. Special assessments are levied according to statutory authority granted by the Legislature or, in some instances, local charters. Distinguishing among taxes, fees, and assessments can be difficult and often depends on the context in which the distinction is made. For example, taxes, assessments, and property-related fees all may be imposed on property. The key feature that distinguishes an assessment from a tax, fee, or charge is the existence of a special benefit to real property. Without identifying a special benefit, there can be no assessment.

Distinguishing General and Special Benefit
Proposition 218 added a set of procedures and requirements, which a local government must follow to levy an assessment. In addition to notice, hearing, and assessment ballot proceedings, Proposition 218 provides that “only special benefits are assessable” and requires a local government to “separate the general benefits from the special benefits conferred on a parcel.”
By its nature, most public improvements financed through an assessment district contain an element of public benefit. The test is: does there exist, with relation to the improvement, a special benefit to the property assessed? The law requires that the portion of the cost of the improvement which benefits the public generally to be separated from that portion of the cost of the improvement which specially benefits assessed properties.

Proposition 218 provides the following definition of “special benefit”:
“Special benefit” means a particular and distinct benefit over and above general benefits conferred on real property located in the district or to the public at large. General enhancement of property value does not constitute “special benefit”.

Below is the description of the Method of Apportionment and Special Benefit and the Assessment Roll summary for the Assessment District.

3. Method of Apportionment
City of Norco Landscape Maintenance District No. 1
Engineer’s Report for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 5
Improvements Authorized by the 1972 Act
As applicable or may be applicable to this proposed District, the 1972 Act defines improvements to mean one or any combination of the following:
• The installation or planting of landscaping.
• The installation or construction of statuary, fountains, and other ornamental structures and facilities. • The installation or construction of public lighting facilities. • The installation or construction of any facilities which are appurtenant to any of the foregoing or which are necessary or convenient for the maintenance or servicing thereof, including, but not limited to, grading, clearing, removal of debris, the installation or construction of curbs, gutters, walls, sidewalks, or paving, or water, irrigation, drainage, or electrical facilities. • The maintenance or servicing, or both, of any of the foregoing. • The acquisition of any existing improvement otherwise authorized pursuant to this section.

Incidental expenses associated with the improvements including, but not limited to:
• The cost of preparation of the report, including plans, specifications, estimates, diagram, and assessment; • The costs of printing, advertising, and the publishing, posting, and mailing of notices; • Compensation payable to the County for collection of assessments; • Compensation of any engineer or attorney employed to render services; • Any other expenses incidental to the construction, installation, or maintenance and servicing of the improvements;
• Any expenses incidental to the issuance of bonds or notes pursuant to Section 22662.5. • Costs associated with any elections held for the approval of a new or increased assessment.

The 1972 Act defines "Maintain" or "maintenance" to mean the furnishing of services and materials for the ordinary and usual maintenance, operation, and servicing of any improvement, including:
• Repair, removal, or replacement of all or any part of any improvement. • Providing for the life, growth, health, and beauty of landscaping, including cultivation, irrigation, trimming, spraying, fertilizing, or treating for disease or injury. • The removal of trimmings, rubbish, debris, and other solid waste. • The cleaning, sandblasting, and painting of walls and other improvements to remove or cover graffiti.

Method of Apportionment
The law requires and the statutes provide that assessments, as levied pursuant to the provisions of the “Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972,” must be based on the benefit that the properties receive from the works of improvement. The statute does not specify the method or formula that should be used in any special assessment district proceedings. The Assessment Engineer is appointed for the purpose of making an analysis of the facts and determining the correct apportionment of the assessment obligation. For these proceedings, the City has based its determination on standard assessment practices utilized by consulting civil engineers with a background of experience in the design of such works of improvement and experience in the completion of assessment district formation projects.

IDENTIFYING THE BENEFIT
It is necessary to identify the benefit that the public improvement will render to the properties within the District.

The landscaping, irrigation, and equestrian trails have been designed and will be constructed for the benefit of enhanced aesthetics and neighborhood identity for all properties within the District.

3. Method of Apportionment
City of Norco Landscape Maintenance District No. 1
Engineer’s Report for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 6

APPORTIONMENT OF COSTS
In further making the analysis, it is necessary that the property owners receive a special and direct benefit distinguished from that of the general public. In this case, several factors are being used in the final method and spread and assessment.

The individual parcels of land within the Assessment District are currently developed or have the potential for development to single-family residential units. The proposed improvements are designed to enhance the appearance and appeal of the District and all of the parcels within. The improvements will provide a sense of neighborhood identity for the District. As such, each parcel will benefit equally from the proposed improvements.

ASSESSMENT ADJUSTMENT
In 1999 the property owners approved, via ballot, the formation of the District and the levy of the annual assessments, including an annual increase of 5.00%. In no case may the increase exceed the actual cost of providing the services rendered within and pursuant to the District. The application of the 5.00% adjustment for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 will increase the maximum per parcel assessment from $191.25 to $200.82. The maximum assessment of $200.82 per parcel will be levied.

Engineer’s Report for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 1
Overview
On October 20, 1999, the City Council of the City of Norco, California, pursuant to the provisions of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, Part 2 (commencing with Section 22500) of Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code (the “Act”) adopted its Resolution of the City Council of the City of Norco Initiating Proceedings for the Formation for a Maintenance Assessment District and thereafter formed Landscape Maintenance District No. 2 (Western Pacific).

This Report describes the District, the improvements, and the proposed assessments to be levied against properties in connection with the benefits the properties will receive from the maintenance and servicing of the District improvements for Fiscal Year 2025-2026. The annual assessments to be levied on properties within the District provide a funding source for the continued operation and maintenance of local landscaping improvements installed in connection with the development of properties within the District. Each fiscal year, the City establishes the District’s assessments based on an estimate of the costs to maintain, operate and service the landscaping improvements and based upon available revenues including fund balances and assessment limits. The costs of the improvements and the proposed annual assessments budgeted and assessed against properties within the District may include: the estimated expenditures for regular annual maintenance and repairs; incidental expenditures related to the operation and administration of the District and the collection of adequate funds for operational reserves or periodic expenditures including installments collected for long-term improvement projects. Each parcel is assessed proportionately for only those improvements, services, and expenses for which the parcel will receive special benefit.

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

Description of Improvements and Services
The improvements are the operation, maintenance, and servicing of landscaping, wetlands, horse trails, hardscape masonry, and appurtenant facilities including but not limited to personnel, electrical energy, utilities such as water, materials, contracting services, and other items necessary for the satisfactory operation of these services, described as follows:

Landscaping, planting, shrubbery, trees, irrigation, hardscapes, masonry wall surfaces, fixtures, and appurtenant facilities located within public right-of-way (parkways) and easements (slope) are specifically excluded.

Park Maintenance (Lot 2) includes trash and debris cleanup, mowing, fertilization, turf care, pest and rodent control, and observation.

Capital Improvement Projects
Due to the failed Proposition 218 Ballot Measure in 2023 to increase funding in this District, the City removed the old playground equipment in 2024, as it was past its useful lifespan and posed safety risks to residents who use it and was a potential liability for the City.

The City does not have any plans for any additional capital improvement projects in this District due to lack of funding.

2. Cost Estimate
City of Norco Landscape Maintenance District No. 2
Engineer’s Report for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 3
The estimated costs for the operation, maintenance and servicing of the facilities, shown below, are the estimated costs of maintenance if the facilities were fully maintained for Fiscal Year 2025-2026. The 1972 Act provides that the total cost of the maintenance and services, together with incidental expenses, may be financed from the assessment proceeds. The incidental expenses may include engineering fees, legal fees, printing, mailing, postage, publishing, and all other related costs identified with district proceedings.

The 1972 Act requires that a special fund be set up for the revenues and expenditures of the District. Funds raised by assessments shall be used only for the purpose as stated herein. The City may advance funds to the District, if needed, to ensure adequate cash flow, and will be reimbursed for any such advances upon receipt of assessments.

Any surplus or deficit remaining on July 1 must be carried over to the next fiscal year.

On November 15, 2023, the City held a Proposition 218 Ballot Measure to increase the maximum annual assessment rate from $835.00 to $969.00. The majority of the ballots received were not in favor of the increase and thus the measure failed. The assessment rates in LMD No. 2 have been outpaced by costs and the fund balances have been depleted. The District is in a service-level deficit. Due to the lack of funding, maintenance improvement projects, including trail fence replacement will no longer be implemented and the level of service may decrease.

The cost of servicing, maintaining, repairing, and replacing the actual improvements as described in the Plans and Specifications are summarized on the following page.

Proposition 218 Compliance
On November 5, 1996, California voters approved Proposition 218, entitled “Right to Vote on Taxes Act,” which added Article XIII D to the California Constitution. While its title refers only to taxes, Proposition 218 establishes new procedural requirements for the formation and administration of assessment districts. Proposition 218 also requires that with certain specified exceptions, which are described below, all existing assessment districts must be ratified by the property owners within the District using the new procedures.

Some of these exceptions include:

1. Any assessments imposed exclusively to finance the capital cost or maintenance and operation expenses for streets.

2. Any assessments levied pursuant to a petition signed by the persons owning all of the parcels subject to the assessment at the time the assessment was initially imposed.

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

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

Proposition 218 defines “assessment” as “any levy or charge upon real property by an agency for a special benefit conferred upon the real property.” Cal. Const., art. XIII D, §2(b). A special assessment, sometimes called a “benefit assessment,” is a charge generally levied upon parcels of real property to pay for benefits the parcels receive from local improvements. Special assessments are levied according to statutory authority granted by the Legislature or, in some instances, local charters. Distinguishing among taxes, fees, and assessments can be difficult and often depends on the context in which the distinction is made. For example, taxes, assessments, and property-related fees all may be imposed on property. The key feature that distinguishes an assessment from a tax, fee, or charge is the existence of a special benefit to real property. Without identifying a special benefit, there can be no assessment.

Distinguishing General and Special Benefit
Proposition 218 added a set of procedures and requirements, which a local government must follow to levy an assessment. In addition to notice, hearing, and assessment ballot proceedings, Proposition 218 provides that “only special benefits are assessable” and requires a local government to “separate the general benefits from the special benefits conferred on a parcel.”
By its nature, most public improvements financed through an assessment district contain an element of public benefit. The test is: does there exist, with relation to the improvement, a special benefit to the property assessed? The law requires that the portion of the cost of the improvement which benefits the public generally to be separated from that portion of the cost of the improvement which specially benefits assessed properties.

Proposition 218 provides the following definition of “special benefit”:
“Special benefit” means a particular and distinct benefit over and above general benefits conferred on real property located in the district or to the public at large. General enhancement of property value does not constitute “special benefit”.

Below is the description of the Method of Apportionment and Special Benefit and the Assessment Roll summary for the Assessment District.

Improvements Authorized by the 1972 Act
As applicable or may be applicable to this proposed District, the 1972 Act defines improvements to mean one or any combination of the following:
• The installation or planting of landscaping.
• The installation or construction of statuary, fountains, and other ornamental structures and facilities. • The installation or construction of public lighting facilities. • The installation or construction of any facilities which are appurtenant to any of the foregoing or which are necessary or convenient for the maintenance or servicing thereof, including, but not limited to, grading, clearing, removal of debris, the installation or construction of curbs, gutters, walls, sidewalks, or paving, or water, irrigation, drainage, or electrical facilities. • The maintenance or servicing, or both, of any of the foregoing. • The acquisition of any existing improvement otherwise authorized pursuant to this section.

Incidental expenses associated with the improvements including, but not limited to:
• The cost of preparation of the report, including plans, specifications, estimates, diagram, and assessment; • The costs of printing, advertising, and the publishing, posting, and mailing of notices; • Compensation payable to the County for collection of assessments; • Compensation of any engineer or attorney employed to render services; • Any other expenses incidental to the construction, installation, or maintenance and servicing of the improvements;
• Any expenses incidental to the issuance of bonds or notes pursuant to Section 22662.5. • Costs associated with any elections held for the approval of a new or increased assessment.

The 1972 Act defines "Maintain" or "maintenance" to mean the furnishing of services and materials for the ordinary and usual maintenance, operation, and servicing of any improvement, including:
• Repair, removal, or replacement of all or any part of any improvement. • Providing for the life, growth, health, and beauty of landscaping, including cultivation, irrigation, trimming, spraying, fertilizing, or treating for disease or injury. • The removal of trimmings, rubbish, debris, and other solid waste. • The cleaning, sandblasting, and painting of walls and other improvements to remove or cover graffiti.

Method of Apportionment
The law requires and the statutes provide that assessments, as levied pursuant to the provisions of the “Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972,”, must be based on the benefit that the properties receive from the works of improvement. The statute does not specify the method or formula that should be used in any special assessment district proceedings. The Assessment Engineer is appointed for the purpose of making an analysis of the facts and determining the correct apportionment of the assessment obligation. For these proceedings, the City has based its determination on standard assessment practices utilized by consulting civil engineers with a background of experience in the design of such works of improvement and experience in the completion of assessment district formation projects.

IDENTIFYING THE BENEFIT
It is necessary to identify the benefit that the public improvement will render to the properties within the Assessment District. The landscaping, irrigation, and equestrian trails have been designed and will be constructed for the benefit of enhanced aesthetics and neighborhood identity for all properties within the Assessment District.

3. Method of Apportionment
City of Norco Landscape Maintenance District No. 2
Engineer’s Report for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 7

APPORTIONMENT OF COSTS
In further making the analysis, it is necessary that the property owners receive a special and direct benefit distinguished from that of the general public. In this case, several factors are being used in the final method and spread and assessment.

The individual parcels of land within the Assessment District are currently developed or have the potential for development to single-family residential units. The proposed improvements are designed to enhance the appearance and appeal of the District and all of the parcels within. The improvements will provide a sense of neighborhood identity for the District. As such, each parcel will benefit equally from the proposed improvements.

ASSESSMENT ADJUSTMENT
The assessments may be increased annually for inflation, based on the Consumer Price Index – All Urban Consumers for the Los Angeles – Riverside-Orange County Area (CPI), as determined by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, or its successor. Should the Bureau of Labor Statistics revise such index or discontinue the preparation of such index, this Department shall use a revised index or comparable system for determining fluctuations in the cost of living, as approved by the City Council. The Maximum Assessment is defined as the initial Assessment (approved by property owners within the District) adjusted annually by the CPI. If the proposed annual assessment for a given Fiscal Year is less than or equal to the calculated Maximum Assessment, then the proposed annual assessment is not considered an increased assessment.

In January 2018, the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, discontinued the Los Angeles - Riverside - Orange County Consumer Price Index and created a new Riverside - San Bernardino – Ontario Consumer Price Index. This new index was used to escalate the Maximum Assessment Rate by 2.53% for Fiscal Year 2025-2026. The maximum per parcel assessment increased from $871.25 to $893.28. The maximum per parcel assessment of $893.28 will be levied.

1. Plans and Specifications
City of Norco Landscape Maintenance District No. 3
Engineer’s Report for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 1
Overview
On October 20, 1999, the City Council of the City of Norco, California, pursuant to the provisions of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, Part 2 (commencing with Section 22500) of Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code (the “Act”) adopted its Resolution of the City Council of the City of Norco Initiating Proceedings for the Formation for a Maintenance Assessment District and thereafter formed Landscape Maintenance District No. 3 (Western Pacific).

This Report describes the District, the improvements, and the proposed assessments to be levied against properties in connection with the benefits the properties will receive from the maintenance and servicing of the District improvements for Fiscal Year 2025-2026. The annual assessments to be levied on properties within the District provide a funding source for the continued operation and maintenance of local landscaping improvements installed in connection with the development of properties within the District. Each fiscal year, the City establishes the District’s assessments based on an estimate of the costs to maintain, operate and service the landscaping improvements and based upon available revenues including fund balances and assessment limits. The costs of the improvements and the proposed annual assessments budgeted and assessed against properties within the District may include: the estimated expenditures for regular annual maintenance and repairs; incidental expenditures related to the operation and administration of the District and the collection of adequate funds for operational reserves or periodic expenditures including installments collected for long-term improvement projects. Each parcel is assessed proportionately for only those improvements, services, and expenses for which the parcel will receive special benefit.

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

Description of Improvements and Services
The improvements are the operation, maintenance, and servicing of landscaping, wetlands, horse trails, hardscaping, and masonry, and appurtenant facilities including but not limited to personnel, electrical energy, utilities such as water, materials, contracting services, and other items necessary for the satisfactory operation of these services, described as follows:

Landscaping, planting, shrubbery, trees, irrigation, hardscapes, masonry wall surfaces, fixtures, and appurtenant facilities located within public right-of-way (parkways) and easements (slope) are specifically excluded. Trails and publicly owned parcels park within the boundary of the Assessment District are to be maintained except as specifically excluded.
• Landscape maintenance on Hidden Valley Parkway and Norco Hills Road includes all pruning, weed and pest control, fertilization, turf care, trash and debris cleanup, irrigation to include maintenance and repair, water cost, electrical cost for controllers, tree trimming up to 15 feet, tree staking, backflow testing, rodent control and plant replacements.
• Slope Maintenance for exterior slopes along Hidden Valley Parkway includes all pruning, weed and pest control, fertilization, turf care, trash and debris cleanup, irrigation to include maintenance and repair, water cost, electrical cost for controllers, tree trimming up to 15 feet, tree staking, backflow testing, rodent control and plant replacements. Also included is fuel modification along Norco Hills Road.

Equestrian trail maintenance includes minor grading, replacement of wooden posts and rails, and addition of decomposed granite for trail surface. Also includes major storm sandbag contingency.

Wetland maintenance (Lot 71) includes trash and debris cleanup, plant replacement, pest and rodent control.

City of Norco Landscape Maintenance District No. 3
Engineer’s Report for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 2
Park Maintenance (Lot 2) includes trash and debris cleanup, mowing, fertilization, turf care, pest and rodent control, and observation.

Capital Improvement Projects
Equestrian Trail Fence Replacement: The City is replacing the equestrian trail fencing from wood to vinyl over a 25 year period at $29,800 per year.

Due to the failed Proposition 218 Ballot Measure in 2023 to increase the annual assessment, the City does not have any plans for any additional capital improvement projects in this District due to lack of funding.

2. Cost Estimate
City of Norco Landscape Maintenance District No. 3
Engineer’s Report for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 3
The estimated costs for the operation, maintenance and servicing of the facilities, shown in Table 2-1, are the estimated costs of maintenance if the facilities were fully maintained for Fiscal Year 2025-2026. The 1972 Act provides that the total cost of the maintenance and services, together with incidental expenses, may be financed from the assessment proceeds. The incidental expenses may include engineering fees, legal fees, printing, mailing, postage, publishing, and all other related costs identified with district proceedings.

The 1972 Act requires that a special fund be set up for the revenues and expenditures of the District. Funds raised by assessments shall be used only for the purpose as stated herein. The City may advance funds to the District, if needed, to ensure adequate cash flow, and will be reimbursed for any such advances upon receipt of assessments.

Any surplus or deficit remaining on July 1 must be carried over to the next fiscal year.

On November 15, 2023, the City held a Proposition 218 Ballot Measure to increase the maximum annual assessment rate from $1,251.63 to $1,489.00. The majority of the ballots received were not in favor of the increase and thus the measure failed. The assessment rates in LMD No. 3 have been outpaced by costs and the fund balances have been depleted. The District is in a service-level deficit. Due to the lack of funding, maintenance improvement projects, including trail fence replacement will no longer be implemented and the level of service may decrease.

The cost of servicing, maintaining, repairing, and replacing the actual improvements as described in the Plans and Specifications are summarized in Table 2-1.

(3) The Capital Replacement Reserve fund will be used for capital improvement projects including the cost to replace and/or renovate larger, more expensive improvements within the benefit zone. These improvements have finite life expectancies and will need to be replaced at some point in the future. On an annual basis, any non‐expended assessment monies, in excess of the Operating Reserve Contribution, will be transferred to the Capital Replacement Reserve fund until such time as there are sufficient monies to pay for these and/or other unforeseen improvement costs.

3. Method of Apportionment
City of Norco Landscape Maintenance District No. 3
Engineer’s Report for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 5
Proposition 218 Compliance
On November 5, 1996, California voters approved Proposition 218, entitled “Right to Vote on Taxes Act,” which added Article XIII D to the California Constitution. While its title refers only to taxes, Proposition 218 establishes new procedural requirements for the formation and administration of assessment districts. Proposition 218 also requires that with certain specified exceptions, which are described below, all existing assessment districts must be ratified by the property owners within the District using the new procedures.

Some of these exceptions include:

1. Any assessments imposed exclusively to finance the capital cost or maintenance and operation expenses for streets.

2. Any assessments levied pursuant to a petition signed by the persons owning all of the parcels subject to the assessment at the time the assessment was initially imposed.

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

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

Proposition 218 defines “assessment” as “any levy or charge upon real property by an agency for a special benefit conferred upon the real property.” Cal. Const., art. XIII D, §2(b). A special assessment, sometimes called a “benefit assessment,” is a charge generally levied upon parcels of real property to pay for benefits the parcels receive from local improvements. Special assessments are levied according to statutory authority granted by the Legislature or, in some instances, local charters. Distinguishing among taxes, fees, and assessments can be difficult and often depends on the context in which the distinction is made. For example, taxes, assessments, and property-related fees all may be imposed on property. The key feature that distinguishes an assessment from a tax, fee, or charge is the existence of a special benefit to real property. Without identifying a special benefit, there can be no assessment.

Distinguishing General and Special Benefit
Proposition 218 added a set of procedures and requirements, which a local government must follow to levy an assessment. In addition to notice, hearing, and assessment ballot proceedings, Proposition 218 provides that “only special benefits are assessable” and requires a local government to “separate the general benefits from the special benefits conferred on a parcel.”
By its nature, most public improvements financed through an assessment district contain an element of public benefit. The test is: does there exist, with relation to the improvement, a special benefit to the property assessed? The law requires that the portion of the cost of the improvement which benefits the public generally to be separated from that portion of the cost of the improvement which specially benefits assessed properties.

Proposition 218 provides the following definition of “special benefit”:
“Special benefit” means a particular and distinct benefit over and above general benefits conferred on real property located in the district or to the public at large. General enhancement of property value does not constitute “special benefit”.

Below is the description of the Method of Apportionment and Special Benefit and the Assessment Roll summary for the Assessment District.

3. Method of Apportionment
City of Norco Landscape Maintenance District No. 3
Engineer’s Report for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 6
Improvements Authorized by the 1972 Act
As applicable or may be applicable to this proposed District, the 1972 Act defines improvements to mean one or any combination of the following:
• The installation or planting of landscaping.
• The installation or construction of statuary, fountains, and other ornamental structures and facilities. • The installation or construction of public lighting facilities. • The installation or construction of any facilities which are appurtenant to any of the foregoing or which are necessary or convenient for the maintenance or servicing thereof, including, but not limited to, grading, clearing, removal of debris, the installation or construction of curbs, gutters, walls, sidewalks, or paving, or water, irrigation, drainage, or electrical facilities. • The maintenance or servicing, or both, of any of the foregoing. • The acquisition of any existing improvement otherwise authorized pursuant to this section.

Incidental expenses associated with the improvements including, but not limited to:
• The cost of preparation of the report, including plans, specifications, estimates, diagram, and assessment; • The costs of printing, advertising, and the publishing, posting, and mailing of notices; • Compensation payable to the County for collection of assessments; • Compensation of any engineer or attorney employed to render services; • Any other expenses incidental to the construction, installation, or maintenance and servicing of the improvements;
• Any expenses incidental to the issuance of bonds or notes pursuant to Section 22662.5. • Costs associated with any elections held for the approval of a new or increased assessment.

The 1972 Act defines "Maintain" or "maintenance" to mean furnishing of services and materials for the ordinary and usual maintenance, operation, and servicing of any improvement, including:
• Repair, removal, or replacement of all or any part of any improvement. • Providing for the life, growth, health, and beauty of landscaping, including cultivation, irrigation, trimming, spraying, fertilizing, or treating for disease or injury. • The removal of trimmings, rubbish, debris, and other solid waste. • The cleaning, sandblasting, and painting of walls and other improvements to remove or cover graffiti.

Method of Apportionment
The law requires and the statutes provide that assessments, as levied pursuant to the provisions of the “Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972,” must be based on the benefit that the properties receive from the works of improvement. The statute does not specify the method or formula that should be used in any special assessment district proceedings. The Assessment Engineer is appointed for the purpose of making an analysis of the facts and determining the correct apportionment of the assessment obligation. For these proceedings, the City has based its determination on standard assessment practices utilized by consulting civil engineers with a background of experience in the design of such works of improvement and experience in the completion of assessment district formation projects.

IDENTIFYING THE BENEFIT
It is necessary to identify the benefit that the public improvement will render to the properties within the Assessment District. The landscaping, irrigation, and equestrian trails have been designed and will be constructed for the benefit of enhanced aesthetics and neighborhood identity for all properties within the Assessment District.

3. Method of Apportionment
City of Norco Landscape Maintenance District No. 3
Engineer’s Report for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 7

APPORTIONMENT OF COSTS
In further making the analysis, it is necessary that the property owners receive a special and direct benefit distinguished from that of the general public. In this case, several factors are being used in the final method and spread and assessment.

The individual parcels of land within the Assessment District are currently developed or have the potential for development to single-family residential units. The proposed improvements are designed to enhance the appearance and appeal of the District and all of the parcels within. The improvements will provide a sense of neighborhood identity for the District. As such, each parcel will benefit equally from the proposed improvements.

ASSESSMENT ADJUSTMENT
The assessments may be increased annually for inflation, based on the Consumer Price Index – All Urban Consumers for the Los Angeles – Riverside-Orange County Area (CPI), as determined by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, or its successor. Should the Bureau of Labor Statistics revise such index or discontinue the preparation of such index, this Department shall use a revised index or comparable system for determining fluctuations in the cost of living, as approved by the City Council. The Maximum Assessment is defined as the initial Assessment (approved by property owners within the District) adjusted annually by the CPI. If the proposed annual assessment for a given Fiscal Year is less than or equal to the calculated Maximum Assessment, then the proposed annual assessment is not considered an increased assessment.

In January 2018, the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, discontinued the Los Angeles - Riverside - Orange County Consumer Price Index and created a new Riverside - San Bernardino – Ontario Consumer Price Index. This new index was used to escalate the Maximum Assessment Rate by 2.53% for Fiscal Year 2025-2026. The maximum per parcel assessment increased from $1,304.92 to $1,337.91. The maximum per parcel assessment of $1,337.91 will be levied.

1. Plans and Specifications
City of Norco Landscape Maintenance District No. 4
Engineer’s Report for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 1
Overview
On August 7, 2002, the City Council of the City of Norco, California, pursuant to the provisions of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, Part 2 (commencing with Section 22500) of Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code (the “Act”) adopted its Resolution of the City Council of the City of Norco Initiating Proceedings for the Formation for a Maintenance Assessment District and thereafter formed Landscape Maintenance District No. 4 (Norco Ridge Ranch – Tracts 29588 & 29589).

This Report describes the District, the improvements, and the proposed assessments to be levied against properties in connection with the benefits the properties will receive from the maintenance and servicing of the District improvements for Fiscal Year 2025-2026. The annual assessments to be levied on properties within the District provide a funding source for the continued operation and maintenance of local landscaping improvements installed in connection with the development of properties within the District. Each fiscal year, the City establishes the District’s assessments based on an estimate of the costs to maintain, operate and service the landscaping improvements and based upon available revenues including fund balances and assessment limits. The costs of the improvements and the proposed annual assessments budgeted and assessed against properties within the District may include: the estimated expenditures for regular annual maintenance and repairs; incidental expenditures related to the operation and administration of the District and the collection of adequate funds for operational reserves or periodic expenditures including installments collected for long-term improvement projects. Each parcel is assessed proportionately for only those improvements, services, and expenses for which the parcel will receive special benefit.

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

Description of Improvements and Services
Improvements include but are not limited to landscaping, planting, shrubbery, trees, irrigation systems, hardscapes, fixtures, and appurtenant facilities, in public rights-of-way, parkways, slopes, trails, open space and dedicated easements within the boundaries of said Assessment District. The following are the facilities to be maintained within the District:

Slopes, Parkways and Trails:
• Slope landscaping – non-irrigated (3.78 acres)
• Slope landscaping – irrigated (13.17 acres)
• Fuel modification areas (17.66 acres)
• Parkway landscaping (1.11 acres)
• Equestrian trails (26.54 acres)
Open Space and Wetland Areas:
• Natural open space – non-irrigated (384.34 acres)
• Wetlands area – non-irrigated (13.04 acres)
Capital Improvement Projects
All of the equestrian trail wood fencing has been replaced with vinyl fencing for a total cost to the District of $919,432. This amount was collected over time in the Capital Replacement Reserve Fund.

2. Cost Estimate
City of Norco Landscape Maintenance District No. 4
Engineer’s Report for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 2
The estimated costs for the operation, maintenance and servicing of the facilities, shown in Table 2-1, are the estimated costs of maintenance if the facilities were fully maintained for Fiscal Year 2025-2026. The 1972 Act provides that the total cost of the maintenance and services, together with incidental expenses, may be financed from the assessment proceeds. The incidental expenses may include engineering fees, legal fees, printing, mailing, postage, publishing, and all other related costs identified with district proceedings.

The 1972 Act requires that a special fund be set up for the revenues and expenditures of the District. Funds raised by assessments shall be used only for the purpose as stated herein. The City may advance funds to the District, if needed, to ensure adequate cash flow, and will be reimbursed for any such advances upon receipt of assessments.

Any surplus or deficit remaining on July 1 must be carried over to the next fiscal year.

The cost of servicing, maintaining, repairing, and replacing the actual improvements as described in the Plans and Specifications are summarized in Table 2-1.

City of Norco Landscape Maintenance District No. 4
Engineer’s Report for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 4
Proposition 218 Compliance
On November 5, 1996, California voters approved Proposition 218, entitled “Right to Vote on Taxes Act,” which added Article XIII D to the California Constitution. While its title refers only to taxes, Proposition 218 establishes new procedural requirements for the formation and administration of assessment districts. Proposition 218 also requires that with certain specified exceptions, which are described below, all existing assessment districts must be ratified by the property owners within the District using the new procedures.

Some of these exceptions include:

1. Any assessments imposed exclusively to finance the capital cost or maintenance and operation expenses for streets.

2. Any assessments levied pursuant to a petition signed by the persons owning all of the parcels subject to the assessment at the time the assessment was initially imposed.

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

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

Proposition 218 defines “assessment” as “any levy or charge upon real property by an agency for a special benefit conferred upon the real property.” Cal. Const., art. XIII D, §2(b). A special assessment, sometimes called a “benefit assessment,” is a charge generally levied upon parcels of real property to pay for benefits the parcels receive from local improvements. Special assessments are levied according to statutory authority granted by the Legislature or, in some instances, local charters. Distinguishing among taxes, fees, and assessments can be difficult and often depends on the context in which the distinction is made. For example, taxes, assessments, and property-related fees all may be imposed on property. The key feature that distinguishes an assessment from a tax, fee, or charge is the existence of a special benefit to real property. Without identifying a special benefit, there can be no assessment.

Distinguishing General and Special Benefit
Proposition 218 added a set of procedures and requirements, which a local government must follow to levy an assessment. In addition to notice, hearing, and assessment ballot proceedings, Proposition 218 provides that “only special benefits are assessable” and requires a local government to “separate the general benefits from the special benefits conferred on a parcel.”
By its nature, most public improvements financed through an assessment district contain an element of public benefit. The test is: does there exist, with relation to the improvement, a special benefit to the property assessed? The law requires that the portion of the cost of the improvement which benefits the public generally to be separated from that portion of the cost of the improvement which specially benefits assessed properties.

Proposition 218 provides the following definition of “special benefit”:
“Special benefit” means a particular and distinct benefit over and above general benefits conferred on real property located in the district or to the public at large. General enhancement of property value does not constitute “special benefit”.

Below is the description of the Method of Apportionment and Special Benefit and the Assessment Roll summary for the Assessment District.

3. Method of Apportionment
City of Norco Landscape Maintenance District No. 4
Engineer’s Report for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 5
Improvements Authorized by the 1972 Act
As applicable or may be applicable to this proposed District, the 1972 Act defines improvements to mean one or any combination of the following:
• The installation or planting of landscaping.
• The installation or construction of statuary, fountains, and other ornamental structures and facilities. • The installation or construction of public lighting facilities. • The installation or construction of any facilities which are appurtenant to any of the foregoing or which are necessary or convenient for the maintenance or servicing thereof, including, but not limited to, grading, clearing, removal of debris, the installation or construction of curbs, gutters, walls, sidewalks, or paving, or water, irrigation, drainage, or electrical facilities. • The maintenance or servicing, or both, of any of the foregoing. • The acquisition of any existing improvement otherwise authorized pursuant to this section.

Incidental expenses associated with the improvements including, but not limited to:
• The cost of preparation of the report, including plans, specifications, estimates, diagram, and assessment; • The costs of printing, advertising, and the publishing, posting, and mailing of notices; • Compensation payable to the County for collection of assessments; • Compensation of any engineer or attorney employed to render services; • Any other expenses incidental to the construction, installation, or maintenance and servicing of the improvements;
• Any expenses incidental to the issuance of bonds or notes pursuant to Section 22662.5. • Costs associated with any elections held for the approval of a new or increased assessment.

The 1972 Act defines "Maintain" or "maintenance" to mean furnishing of services and materials for the ordinary and usual maintenance, operation, and servicing of any improvement, including:
• Repair, removal, or replacement of all or any part of any improvement. • Providing for the life, growth, health, and beauty of landscaping, including cultivation, irrigation, trimming, spraying, fertilizing, or treating for disease or injury. • The removal of trimmings, rubbish, debris, and other solid waste.

The cleaning, sandblasting, and painting of walls and other improvements to remove or cover graffiti.

Method of Apportionment
The law requires and the statutes provide that assessments, as levied pursuant to the provisions of the “Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972,” must be based on the benefit that the properties receive from the works of improvement. The statute does not specify the method or formula that should be used in any special assessment district proceedings. The Assessment Engineer is appointed for the purpose of making an analysis of the facts and determining the correct apportionment of the assessment obligation. For these proceedings, the City has based its determination on standard assessment practices utilized by consulting civil engineers with a background of experience in the design of such works of improvement and experience in the completion of assessment district formation projects.

IDENTIFYING THE BENEFIT
It is necessary to identify the benefit that the public improvement will render to the properties within the Assessment District. The landscaping, irrigation, and equestrian trails have been designed and will be constructed for the benefit of enhanced aesthetics and neighborhood identity for all properties within the Assessment District.

3. Method of Apportionment
City of Norco Landscape Maintenance District No. 4
Engineer’s Report for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 6

APPORTIONMENT OF COSTS
In further making the analysis, it is necessary that the property owners receive a special and direct benefit distinguished from that of the general public. In this case, several factors are being used in the final method and spread and assessment.

The individual parcels of land within the Assessment District are currently developed or have the potential for development to single-family residential units. The proposed improvements are designed to enhance the appearance and appeal of the District and all of the parcels within. The improvements will provide a sense of neighborhood identity for the District.

EQUIVALENT BENEFIT UNITS:

To proportionally and equitably assess the special benefits to each parcel, it is necessary to correlate each property’s proportional benefit to other properties that benefit from the improvements and services being funded. The Equivalent Benefit Unit (EBU) method of apportionment uses a basic unit (base value) of assessment that is common to all properties benefiting from the improvements and services provided and assigns a weighted value to each parcel based on an assessment formula that equates the property’s specific development status, type of development (land use), and size of the property, as compared to the base value.

Single Family Residential — This land use is defined as a fully subdivided residential home site with or without a structure. This land use is assigned 1.0 EBU per lot or parcel.

Each parcel within Tract Nos. 29588, -2, -3, -4, -5 and Tract Nos. 29589-1, -2, -3 benefit equally from the improvements and have been assigned 1.0 EBU. The parcels within Tract No. 29588-1 receive only the benefit of the trail maintenance and therefore have been assigned 0.22 EBUs.

ASSESSMENT ADJUSTMENT
The assessments may be increased annually for inflation, based on the Consumer Price Index – All Urban Consumers for the Los Angeles – Riverside-Orange County Area (CPI), as determined by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, or its successor. Should the Bureau of Labor Statistics revise such index or discontinue the preparation of such index, this Department shall use a revised index or comparable system for determining fluctuations in the cost of living, as approved by the City Council. The Maximum Assessment is defined as the initial Assessment (approved by property owners within the District) adjusted annually by the CPI. If the proposed annual assessment for a given Fiscal Year is less than or equal to the calculated Maximum Assessment, then the proposed annual assessment is not considered an increased assessment.

In January 2018, the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, discontinued the Los Angeles - Riverside - Orange County Consumer Price Index and created a new Riverside - San Bernardino – Ontario Consumer Price Index. This new index was used to escalate the Maximum Assessment Rate by 2.53% for Fiscal Year 2025-2026. The maximum assessment per EBU increased from $1,387.31 to $1,422.39.

1. Plans and Specifications
City of Norco Landscape Maintenance District No. 5
Engineer’s Report for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 1
Overview
On November 5, 2003, the City Council of the City of Norco, California, pursuant to the provisions of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, Part 2 (commencing with Section 22500) of Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code (the “Act”) adopted its Resolution of the City Council of the City of Norco Initiating Proceedings for the Formation for a Maintenance Assessment District and thereafter formed Landscape Maintenance District No. 5 (Hawk’s Crest).

This Report describes the District, the improvements, and the proposed assessments to be levied against properties in connection with the benefits the properties will receive from the maintenance and servicing of the District improvements for Fiscal Year 2025-2026. The annual assessments to be levied on properties within the District provide a funding source for the continued operation and maintenance of local landscaping improvements installed in connection with the development of properties within the District. Each fiscal year, the City establishes the District’s assessments based on an estimate of the costs to maintain, operate and service the landscaping improvements and based upon available revenues including fund balances and assessment limits. The costs of the improvements and the proposed annual assessments budgeted and assessed against properties within the District may include: the estimated expenditures for regular annual maintenance and repairs; incidental expenditures related to the operation and administration of the District and the collection of adequate funds for operational reserves or periodic expenditures including installments collected for long-term improvement projects. Each parcel is assessed proportionately for only those improvements, services, and expenses for which the parcel will receive special benefit.

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

Description of Improvements and Services
Improvements include but are not limited to landscaping, planting, shrubbery, trees, irrigation systems, hardscapes, fixtures, and appurtenant facilities, in public rights-of-way, parkways, slopes, trails, open space and dedicated easements within the boundaries of said Assessment District. The following are the facilities to be maintained within the District:
• Landscape Maintenance (Park-Flat) includes all pruning, weed and pest control, fertilization, turf care, trash and debris cleanup, irrigation to include maintenance and repair, water cost, electrical cost for controllers, tree trimming up to 15 feet, tree staking, backflow testing, rodent control and plant replacement.
• Arena Maintenance includes grading and replenishment of DG and maintenance of rail. • Equestrian Trails include minor grading, replacement of wooden posts and rails, and addition of decomposed granite for trail surface.
• Landscape Maintenance (Slope - Park & Arena) includes plant maintenance, weed, and pest control, and debris cleanup.
• Slope Maintenance includes all pruning, weed and pest control, fertilization, turf care, trash and debris cleanup, irrigation to include maintenance and repair, water cost, electrical cost for controllers, tree trimming up to 15 feet, tree staking, backflow testing, rodent control and plant replacement for exterior slopes along Fifth Street and California Ave.
• Landscape Maintenance (Parkways) includes weeding, feeding of ground cover and maintenance and trimming of street trees.

2. Cost Estimate
City of Norco Landscape Maintenance District No. 5
Engineer’s Report for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 3
The estimated costs for the operation, maintenance and servicing of the facilities, shown in Table 2-1, are the estimated costs of maintenance if the facilities were fully maintained for Fiscal Year 2025-2026. The 1972 Act provides that the total cost of the maintenance and services, together with incidental expenses, may be financed from the assessment proceeds. The incidental expenses may include engineering fees, legal fees, printing, mailing, postage, publishing, and all other related costs identified with district proceedings.

The 1972 Act requires that a special fund be set up for the revenues and expenditures of the District. Funds raised by assessments shall be used only for the purpose as stated herein. The City may advance funds to the District, if needed, to ensure adequate cash flow, and will be reimbursed for any such advances upon receipt of assessments.

Any surplus or deficit remaining on July 1 must be carried over to the next fiscal year.

The cost of servicing, maintaining, repairing, and replacing the actual improvements as described in the Plans and Specifications are summarized in Table 2-1.

3. Method of Apportionment
City of Norco Landscape Maintenance District No. 5
Engineer’s Report for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 5
Proposition 218 Compliance
On November 5, 1996, California voters approved Proposition 218, entitled “Right to Vote on Taxes Act,” which added Article XIII D to the California Constitution. While its title refers only to taxes, Proposition 218 establishes new procedural requirements for the formation and administration of assessment districts. Proposition 218 also requires that with certain specified exceptions, which are described below, all existing assessment districts must be ratified by the property owners within the District using the new procedures.

Some of these exceptions include:

1. Any assessments imposed exclusively to finance the capital cost or maintenance and operation expenses for streets.

2. Any assessments levied pursuant to a petition signed by the persons owning all of the parcels subject to the assessment at the time the assessment was initially imposed.

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

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

Proposition 218 defines “assessment” as “any levy or charge upon real property by an agency for a special benefit conferred upon the real property.” Cal. Const., art. XIII D, §2(b). A special assessment, sometimes called a “benefit assessment,” is a charge generally levied upon parcels of real property to pay for benefits the parcels receive from local improvements. Special assessments are levied according to statutory authority granted by the Legislature or, in some instances, local charters. Distinguishing among taxes, fees, and assessments can be difficult and often depends on the context in which the distinction is made. For example, taxes, assessments, and property-related fees all may be imposed on property. The key feature that distinguishes an assessment from a tax, fee, or charge is the existence of a special benefit to real property. Without identifying a special benefit, there can be no assessment.

Distinguishing General and Special Benefit
Proposition 218 added a set of procedures and requirements, which a local government must follow to levy an assessment. In addition to notice, hearing, and assessment ballot proceedings, Proposition 218 provides that “only special benefits are assessable” and requires a local government to “separate the general benefits from the special benefits conferred on a parcel.”
By its nature, most public improvements financed through an assessment district contain an element of public benefit. The test is: does there exist, with relation to the improvement, a special benefit to the property assessed? The law requires that the portion of the cost of the improvement which benefits the public generally to be separated from that portion of the cost of the improvement which specially benefits assessed properties.

Proposition 218 provides the following definition of “special benefit”:
“Special benefit” means a particular and distinct benefit over and above general benefits conferred on real property located in the district or to the public at large. General enhancement of property value does not constitute “special benefit”.

Below is the description of the Method of Apportionment and Special Benefit and the Assessment Roll summary for the Assessment District.

3. Method of Apportionment
City of Norco Landscape Maintenance District No. 5
Engineer’s Report for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 6
Improvements Authorized by the 1972 Act
As applicable or may be applicable to this proposed District, the 1972 Act defines improvements to mean one or any combination of the following:
• The installation or planting of landscaping.
• The installation or construction of statuary, fountains, and other ornamental structures and facilities. • The installation or construction of public lighting facilities. • The installation or construction of any facilities which are appurtenant to any of the foregoing or which are necessary or convenient for the maintenance or servicing thereof, including, but not limited to, grading, clearing, removal of debris, the installation or construction of curbs, gutters, walls, sidewalks, or paving, or water, irrigation, drainage, or electrical facilities. • The maintenance or servicing, or both, of any of the foregoing. • The acquisition of any existing improvement otherwise authorized pursuant to this section.

Incidental expenses associated with the improvements including, but not limited to:
• The cost of preparation of the report, including plans, specifications, estimates, diagram, and assessment; • The costs of printing, advertising, and the publishing, posting, and mailing of notices; • Compensation payable to the County for collection of assessments; • Compensation of any engineer or attorney employed to render services; • Any other expenses incidental to the construction, installation, or maintenance and servicing of the improvements;
• Any expenses incidental to the issuance of bonds or notes pursuant to Section 22662.5. • Costs associated with any elections held for the approval of a new or increased assessment.

The 1972 Act defines "Maintain" or "maintenance" to mean the furnishing of services and materials for the ordinary and usual maintenance, operation, and servicing of any improvement, including:
• Repair, removal, or replacement of all or any part of any improvement. • Providing for the life, growth, health, and beauty of landscaping, including cultivation, irrigation, trimming, spraying, fertilizing, or treating for disease or injury. • The removal of trimmings, rubbish, debris, and other solid waste. • The cleaning, sandblasting, and painting of walls and other improvements to remove or cover graffiti.

Method of Apportionment
The law requires and the statutes provide that assessments, as levied pursuant to the provisions of the “Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972,” must be based on the benefit that the properties receive from the works of improvement. The statute does not specify the method or formula that should be used in any special assessment district proceedings. The Assessment Engineer is appointed for the purpose of making an analysis of the facts and determining the correct apportionment of the assessment obligation. For these proceedings, the City has based its determination on standard assessment practices utilized by consulting civil engineers with a background of experience in the design of such works of improvement and experience in the completion of assessment district formation projects.

IDENTIFYING THE BENEFIT
It is necessary to identify the benefit that the public improvement will render to the properties within the Assessment District. The landscaping, irrigation, and equestrian trails have been designed and will be constructed for the benefit of enhanced aesthetics and neighborhood identity for all properties within the Assessment District.

3. Method of Apportionment
City of Norco Landscape Maintenance District No. 5
Engineer’s Report for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 7

APPORTIONMENT OF COSTS
In further making the analysis, it is necessary that the property owners receive a special and direct benefit distinguished from that of the general public. In this case, several factors are being used in the final method and spread and assessment.

The individual parcels of land within the Assessment District are currently developed or have the potential for development to single-family residential units. The proposed improvements are designed to enhance the appearance and appeal of the District and all of the parcels within. The improvements will provide a sense of neighborhood identity for the District. As such, each parcel will benefit equally from the proposed improvements.

ASSESSMENT ADJUSTMENT
The assessments may be increased annually for inflation, based on the Consumer Price Index – All Urban Consumers for the Los Angeles – Riverside-Orange County Area (CPI), as determined by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, or its successor. Should the Bureau of Labor Statistics revise such index or discontinue the preparation of such index, this Department shall use a revised index or comparable system for determining fluctuations in the cost of living, as approved by the City Council. The Maximum Assessment is defined as the initial Assessment (approved by property owners within the District) adjusted annually by the CPI. If the proposed annual assessment for a given Fiscal Year is less than or equal to the calculated Maximum Assessment, then the proposed annual assessment is not considered an increased assessment.

In January 2018, the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, discontinued the Los Angeles - Riverside - Orange County Consumer Price Index and created a new Riverside - San Bernardino – Ontario Consumer Price Index. This new index was used to escalate the Maximum Assessment Rate by 2.53% for Fiscal Year 2025-2026. The maximum per parcel assessment increased from $1,459.60 to $1,496.51.
