21. Compatible Land Use.
It will take appropriate action, to the extent reasonable, including the adoption of zoning laws, to restrict the use of land adjacent to or in the immediate vicinity of the airport to activities and purposes compatible with normal airport operations, including landing and takeoff of aircraft. In addition, if the project is for noise compatibility program implementation, it will not cause or permit any change in land use, within its jurisdiction, that will reduce its compatibility, with respect to the airport, of the noise compatibility program measures upon which Federal funds have been expended.
22. Economic Nondiscrimination.
a. It will make the airport available as an airport for public use on reasonable terms and without unjust discrimination to all types, kinds and classes of aeronautical activities, including commercial aeronautical activities offering services to the public at the airport. b. In any agreement, contract, lease, or other arrangement under which a right or privilege at the airport is granted to any person, firm, or corporation to conduct or to engage in any aeronautical activity for furnishing services to the public at the airport, the sponsor will insert and enforce provisions requiring the contractor to:
1. Furnish said services on a reasonable, and not unjustly discriminatory, basis to all users thereof, and
2. Charge reasonable, and not unjustly discriminatory, prices for each unit or service, provided that the contractor may be allowed to make reasonable and nondiscriminatory discounts, rebates, or other similar types of price reductions to volume purchasers. 158
Airport Sponsor Assurances (4/2025) Page 11 of 19
c. Each fixed-based operator at the airport shall be subject to the same rates, fees, rentals, and other charges as are uniformly applicable to all other fixed-based operators making the same or similar uses of such airport and utilizing the same or similar facilities. d. Each air carrier using such airport shall have the right to service itself or to use any fixed-based operator that is authorized or permitted by the airport to serve any air carrier at such airport. e. Each air carrier using such airport (whether as a tenant, non-tenant, or subtenant of another air carrier tenant) shall be subject to such nondiscriminatory and substantially comparable rules, regulations, conditions, rates, fees, rentals, and other charges with respect to facilities directly and substantially related to providing air transportation as are applicable to all such air carriers which make similar use of such airport and utilize similar facilities, subject to reasonable classifications such as tenants or non-tenants and signatory carriers and non-signatory carriers.
Classification or status as tenant or signatory shall not be unreasonably withheld by any airport provided an air carrier assumes obligations substantially similar to those already imposed on air carriers in such classification or status.
f. It will not exercise or grant any right or privilege which operates to prevent any person, firm, or corporation operating aircraft on the airport from performing any services on its own aircraft with its own employees (including, but not limited to maintenance, repair, and fueling) that it may choose to perform.
g. In the event the sponsor itself exercises any of the rights and privileges referred to in this assurance, the services involved will be provided on the same conditions as would apply to the furnishing of such services by commercial aeronautical service providers authorized by the sponsor under these provisions.
h. The sponsor may establish such reasonable, and not unjustly discriminatory, conditions to be met by all users of the airport as may be necessary for the safe and efficient operation of the airport.
i. The sponsor may prohibit or limit any given type, kind or class of aeronautical use of the airport if such action is necessary for the safe operation of the airport or necessary to serve the civil aviation needs of the public.
23. Exclusive Rights.
It will permit no exclusive right for the use of the airport by any person providing, or intending to provide, aeronautical services to the public. For purposes of this paragraph, the providing of the services at an airport by a single fixed-based operator shall not be construed as an exclusive right if both of the following apply:
a. It would be unreasonably costly, burdensome, or impractical for more than one fixed-based operator to provide such services, and
b. If allowing more than one fixed-based operator to provide such services would require the reduction of space leased pursuant to an existing agreement between such single fixed-based operator and such airport. It further agrees that it will not, either directly or indirectly, grant or permit any person, firm, or corporation, the exclusive right at the airport to conduct any aeronautical activities, including, but not limited to charter flights, pilot training, aircraft rental and sightseeing, aerial photography, crop dusting, aerial advertising and surveying, air carrier operations, aircraft sales and services, sale of aviation petroleum products whether or not 159
Airport Sponsor Assurances (4/2025) Page 12 of 19
conducted in conjunction with other aeronautical activity, repair and maintenance of aircraft, sale of aircraft parts, and any other activities which because of their direct relationship to the operation of aircraft can be regarded as an aeronautical activity, and that it will terminate any exclusive right to conduct an aeronautical activity now existing at such an airport before the grant of any assistance under Title 49, United States Code.
24. Fee and Rental Structure.
It will maintain a fee and rental structure for the facilities and services at the airport which will make the airport as self-sustaining as possible under the circumstances existing at the particular airport, taking into account such factors as the volume of traffic and economy of collection. No part of the Federal share of an airport development, airport planning or noise compatibility project for which a Grant is made under Title 49, United States Code, the Airport and Airway Improvement Act of 1982, the Federal Airport Act or the Airport and Airway Development Act of 1970 shall be included in the rate basis in establishing fees, rates, and charges for users of that airport.
25. Airport Revenues.
a. All revenues generated by the airport and any local taxes on aviation fuel established after December 30, 1987, will be expended by it for the capital or operating costs of the airport; the local airport system; or other local facilities which are owned or operated by the owner or operator of the airport and which are directly and substantially related to the actual air transportation of passengers or property; or for noise mitigation purposes on or off the airport.
The following exceptions apply to this paragraph:
1. If covenants or assurances in debt obligations issued before September 3, 1982, by the owner or operator of the airport, or provisions enacted before September 3, 1982, in governing statutes controlling the owner or operator's financing, provide for the use of the revenues from any of the airport owner or operator's facilities, including the airport, to support not only the airport but also the airport owner or operator's general debt obligations or other facilities, then this limitation on the use of all revenues generated by the airport (and, in the case of a public airport, local taxes on aviation fuel) shall not apply.
2. If the Secretary approves the sale of a privately owned airport to a public sponsor and provides funding for any portion of the public sponsor’s acquisition of land, this limitation on the use of all revenues generated by the sale shall not apply to certain proceeds from the sale. This is conditioned on repayment to the Secretary by the private owner of an amount equal to the remaining unamortized portion (amortized over a 20-year period) of any airport improvement grant made to the private owner for any purpose other than land acquisition on or after October 1, 1996, plus an amount equal to the federal share of the current fair market value of any land acquired with an airport improvement grant made to that airport on or after October 1, 1996.
3. Certain revenue derived from or generated by mineral extraction, production, lease, or other means at a general aviation airport (as defined at 49 U.S.C. 47102), if the FAA determines the airport sponsor meets the requirements set forth in Section 813 of Public Law 112-95.
b. As part of the annual audit required under the Single Audit Act of 1984, the sponsor will direct that the audit will review, and the resulting audit report will provide an opinion concerning, the use of airport revenue and taxes in paragraph (a), and indicating whether funds paid or 160

Unless otherwise determined by the Secretary, or otherwise agreed to by the sponsor and the using agency, substantial use of an airport by Government aircraft will be considered to exist when operations of such aircraft are in excess of those which, in the opinion of the Secretary, would unduly interfere with use of the landing areas by other authorized aircraft, or during any calendar month that:
a. Five (5) or more Government aircraft are regularly based at the airport or on land adjacent thereto; or
b. The total number of movements (counting each landing as a movement) of Government aircraft is 300 or more, or the gross accumulative weight of Government aircraft using the airport (the total movement of Government aircraft multiplied by gross weights of such aircraft) is in excess of five million pounds.
161

c. The owner or operator will not make or allow any alteration in the airport or any of its facilities unless the alteration—
1. is outside the scope of the Secretary’s review and approval authority as set forth in subsection (x); or

That portion of the proceeds of such disposition which is proportionate to the United States' share of acquisition of such land will be, at the discretion of the Secretary, (1) reinvested in another project at the airport, or (2) transferred to another eligible airport as prescribed by the Secretary. The Secretary shall give preference to the following, in descending order:
1. Reinvestment in an approved noise compatibility project;
2. Reinvestment in an approved project that is eligible for grant funding under 49 U.S.C. 47117(e);

3 PART I – OVERVIEW
The District was formed for the purpose of ensuring the ongoing maintenance, operation and servicing of certain landscape and lighting improvements within the boundaries of the District. Said improvements are detailed below under Part II of this Report.
COMPLIANCE WITH THE CALIFORNIA CONSTITUTION
Assessments are levied annually pursuant to the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972, Part 2 of Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code (“1972 Act”). All assessments described in this Report and approved by the City Council are prepared in accordance with the 1972 Act and are in compliance with the provisions of the California Constitution Article XIIID (“Article XIIID”), which was enacted with the passage of Proposition 218 (“Prop 218”) in November 1996.
In accordance with the requirements of Prop 218, on August 17, 1999, the property owners approved a formula for increasing assessments in succeeding years that allows the maintenance cost to increase by 3% each year.
Any future increase in the assessment rate, beyond the annual adjustment, or substantial changes in the services provided that would cause an assessment increase would require the approval of the property owners per Prop 218.
SUMMARY OF PROPOSED ASSESSMENT AND EXPENDITURES
A summary of the assessments to be levied is shown in the table below.

4 PART II – PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS
Plans and Specifications
The District was formed for the purpose of ensuring the ongoing maintenance, operation and servicing of certain landscape and lighting improvements within the boundaries of the District. Said improvements are detailed below.
The District is located in the area bounded by the Burlington, Northern & Santa Fe Railway (“BNSF”) to the north, the OID Crane Lateral to the south, generally Kaufman Road to the east and Crane Road to the west. The District consists of 1,200 assessable parcels, totaling 1,163.20 Equivalent Units. 1,108 parcels are single-family residential parcels (“SFR”) and 92 condominium units.
In June of 2015, the City Council approved an Amended Diagram for the District. Previously, the District had four separate diagrams, one for each of three annexations and one for the original District area. The Amended Diagram consolidated the existing Diagrams into a single diagram, showing the boundaries of the entire District. The annexations shared the same improvements, services and assessment amounts with the other parcels in the District. As a result, it was determined that there was no need to continue to delineate the boundaries of each annexation on the District Diagram.
IMPROVEMENTS AND SERVICES PROVIDED
The improvements and services within the District include but are not limited to: operation and maintenance of landscaping, trees, shrubs, groundcover, turf, parks, irrigation system, street lighting, drainage systems and associated appurtenances. Services provided include all necessary services, administration and maintenance required to keep the all improvements in a healthy, vigorous condition and in proper working order. The specific improvements maintained within the District are shown below:
• Residential Landscaping – This includes turf, trees, planters and shrubs along the residential streets between the sidewalk and the curb, and along the alleys.
• Park and Trail Maintenance – This includes maintenance of all park areas, including turf, play areas and other facilities. Also included is maintenance of the horse and walking trails throughout the District. • Utilities – This includes water for the irrigation system and electricity supplied to the streetlights. • Irrigation Controllers – This includes the maintenance and servicing of the irrigation controllers, including electrical power.
• Street Lighting – This includes the maintenance and servicing of the streetlights owned by the City of Oakdale.
• Play Structures – This includes the maintenance and servicing of the playground structures in the parks.
Reference is made to the plans and specifications for the improvements on file with the City and are incorporated herein by reference.

7 Capital Replacement Fund for Street Lighting
This line item, shown on the budget page for the District, is specifically intended for the use in replacing the lighting poles for street lights within the District. There are two reasons to consider the replacement of lighting poles. First, there is a finite life span of a standard lighting pole, which is approximately 20 years. Secondly, there must be a contingency plan in place for the possibility that a lighting pole gets damaged or knocked down, either by way of accident or natural disaster.
The current replacement cost of a lighting pole is approximately $500.00.

($412.94 * 402) / 20 years = $8,300.09 + $402.00 for Contingency = $8,702.09 Capital Replacement Fund for Street Trees
This line item, shown on the budget page for the District, is specifically intended for the use in replacing and trimming of the street trees within the District. There are three reasons to prepare for this: First, there is a finite life span of all trees.
Different trees have different life spans but all will need to be replaced at some point in the future. Secondly, there must be a contingency plan in place for the possibility that a tree gets damaged or is knocked down, either by way of accident or natural disaster. Third and lastly, as the street trees get larger, they will need to be trimmed by a professional arborist which will extend the life of the trees and reduce the possibility that the trees might fall down in high wind, causing additional damage. The current estimate for replacement of a tree is $300.00.

8 Capital Replacement Fund for Park Structures
This line item, shown on the budget page for the District, is specifically intended for the use in replacing the park structures within the District. There are two reasons to consider the replacement of this improvement. First, there is a finite life span of this equipment, which is approximately 20 years. Secondly, there must be a contingency plan in place for the possibility that the equipment gets damaged, either by way of accident, vandalism or natural disaster.
The Bridle Ridge District has 2 parks. Each park has a structure, installed at different times. The structure in Bridle Ridge Park I was installed in April of 2006. The expected remaining life span for this structure is 13 years. The structure in Bridle Ridge Park II was installed in April of 2010 has an expected remaining life span of 17 years. The current replacement cost of the older park structure, in Bridle Ridge I, is approximately $85,000.00. The current replacement cost for the newer park structure, in Bridle Ridge II, is approximately $111,000.00.

10 PART IV – METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT
Method of Apportionment
General Provisions
The 1972 Act permits the establishment of assessment districts by agencies for the purpose of providing certain public improvements which include the construction, maintenance and servicing of public lights, landscaping and appurtenant facilities. The 1972 Act further requires that the cost of these improvements be levied according to benefit rather than assessed value:
“The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements.”
The formula used for calculating assessments in the District therefore reflects the composition of the parcels, and the improvements and services provided, to fairly apportion the costs based on estimated benefit to each parcel. In addition, pursuant to Prop 218:
“No assessment shall be imposed on any parcel which exceeds the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel. Only special benefits are assessable and an agency shall separate the general benefits from the special benefits conferred on a parcel.”
Benefit Analysis
Each of the improvements have been carefully reviewed by the City and the corresponding assessments have been proportionately spread to each parcel based on improvements as determined at the time the District was established.
General Benefits
The improvements within this District are a direct result of property development within the District and would otherwise not be required or necessary. The landscaping and lighting improvements were installed either as conditions of approval for the development or to serve the development needs, character, safety, and marketability of the properties within the District. In either case, the improvements are clearly installed for the benefit of the properties developed and not for the benefit of surrounding properties.
Although many landscape improvements (by virtue of their location), may be visible to surrounding properties or to the public at large, any benefit received by properties outside the District or by the public at large is incidental, secondary, and not separable from the special benefits conferred upon the assessed parcels within the District. Therefore, it has been determined that the improvements within this District and the ongoing operation and maintenance of those improvements are clearly a direct and special benefit to properties within the District. Unless otherwise noted, these improvements provide no measurable general benefit to properties outside the District or to the public at large. 185
Engineer’s Report
Bridle Ridge Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District City of Oakdale
Fiscal Year 2026-27
11 Special Benefits
The method of apportionment (assessment methodology) approved at the time the District was formed is based on the premise that each of the assessed parcels within the District receives benefit from the improvements maintained and financed by annual assessments. Specifically, the assessments are for the maintenance of local landscape improvements installed as part of the original improvement. The desirability and safety of properties within the District are enhanced by the presence of well-maintained landscaping and street lighting in close proximity to those properties. The special benefits associated with the local landscaping and lighting improvements are specifically:
• Improved aesthetic appearance and visual environment within the development. • Preservation of community character and development standards established for the development. • Improved ingress and egress to properties through enhanced visibility and circulation within the development.
• Improved traffic visibility and circulation.
• Improved accessibility for emergency vehicles.
• Enhanced nighttime visibility and security for residents.
The foregoing special benefits are particular and distinct to the assessed parcels within the District and provide a direct enhancement to the desirability, utility, accessibility, safety, and marketability of those properties over and above any incidental benefit conferred on the public at large.
Non-Assessable Parcels
Within the boundaries of the District, there are several types of properties that are considered to receive no special benefit from the District improvements and are therefore not assessed. These parcels may include:
1) Publicly owned parcels that are reserved as Public Open Space or are developed as City Parks for active recreation and are maintained and serviced by the District; 2) Publicly owned wetland parcels;
3) Certain Public Utility parcels;
4) Privately owned open space parcels; and
5) Privately owned "sliver" parcels that have resulted from a lot line adjustment with an adjacent larger parcel Assessment Range Formula
It is generally recognized that most budgetary items will be impacted by inflation in future years. In accordance with the California Constitution, Section 53739 (b)(1), assessments “may be adjusted for inflation pursuant to a clearly defined formula…” A formula for an inflationary adjustment is therefore included as part of the maximum assessment within the District and was approved by the property owner(s) at the time of formation/annexation. The formula, as described below, allows for annual adjustments to the budget and the assessments.
Generally, any new or increased assessment requires certain noticing and meeting requirements by law. The Government Code excludes certain conditions of a new or increased assessment. These conditions include, “An assessment that does not exceed an assessment formula or range of assessments previously specified in the notice given to the public…and that was previously adopted by the agency…”
The initial maximum assessment for the District was established at the time of formation. The initial maximum assessment has been adjusted each fiscal year subsequent to the year of formation (2004/05), by the following Assessment Range Formula:
186
Engineer’s Report
Bridle Ridge Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District City of Oakdale
Fiscal Year 2026-27
12 • The Maximum Assessment Rate allowed each fiscal year (the “Adjusted Maximum Assessment Rate”) shall be based on the initial maximum assessment, adjusted annually by a percentage not greater than three percent (3%) over the previous year’s maximum assessment. • Each fiscal year, the 3% increase has been applied to the Maximum Assessment Rate established the previous fiscal year to calculate the Adjusted Maximum Assessment Rate for the then current fiscal year.
• If the proposed annual assessment rate is less than or equal to the Adjusted Maximum Assessment Rate established for that fiscal year, the proposed annual assessment is not considered an increase.
Beginning in the second fiscal year after the formation of the District (2005/06), and each fiscal year since, the Maximum Assessment Rate has been recalculated and a new Maximum Assessment Rate (Adjusted Maximum Assessment Rate) has been established for each fiscal year using the Assessment Range Formula described above. The Adjusted Maximum Assessment Rate has been calculated independent of the annual budget and proposed assessment rate for the given fiscal year. As stated above, if the proposed annual assessment for any fiscal year does not exceed the Adjusted Maximum Assessment Rate for that year, it is not considered an increased assessment under the terms of Proposition 218 or the Government Code.
187
Engineer’s Report
Bridle Ridge Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District City of Oakdale
Fiscal Year 2026-27
13 A table showing the historical increases and the corresponding Adjusted Maximum Assessment for each year since the formation of the District is shown in the table below.
Historical Increases
To impose a new assessment or increased assessment in excess of the Maximum Assessment Rate for the current fiscal year, as provided by the preceding Assessment Range Formula, the City must comply with the provisions of the California Constitution, Article XIII D, Section 4c that requires a public hearing and certain protest procedures including mailed notice of the public hearing and property owner protest balloting. Property owners must approve the proposed new or increased assessment via a property owner protest balloting process before any such new or increased assessment can be imposed.
A protest occurs when, at the public hearing, the returned assessment ballots opposed to the new or increased assessment outweigh the returned ballots in favor of the new or increased assessment, weighting those assessment ballots by the financial obligation of each parcel.
The definition of new or increased assessments includes any assessment which, 1) did not previously exist or, 2) exceeds a previously approved assessment amount or assessment range formula. Any assessment range formula must have been previously adopted by the agency and approved by the property owners in the area where the assessment is imposed. 188

Bridle Ridge Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District City of Oakdale
Fiscal Year 2026-27
14 Assessment Methodology
The formula used to determine the financial obligation for each parcel is based on the improvements benefitting the parcels. One of the more common approaches to fairly distributing District costs to the benefitting parcels utilizes a methodology referred to as the Equivalent Unit (“EU”) method of apportionment. This method utilizes various property characteristics such as development status, type of development (land-use) and size (units or acreage) to compare the proportional benefit of each property compared to other properties benefitting from the improvements.
The District is comprised of three residential parcel types; subdivided, developed single-family residential parcels (“SFR”), condominiums (“CON”) and un-subdivided residential parcels (“U-RES”).
The SFR parcels are used as the baseline for assessment purposes and are deemed to receive equal benefit from the improvements. Each SFR parcel therefore is assigned 1 unit per parcel or 1 EU.
Each CON parcel also receives similar benefit from the improvements but is typically smaller in size and living space than SFR parcels. It has been determined therefore, the EU for each CON parcel should be less than that of an SFR. In this case, CON parcels have been assigned an EU factor of 0.60 per parcel/unit.
SFV parcels have been assigned an EU factor of .25 per acre, so long as the improvements have not been installed. If the improvements have been installed, those parcels will be assessed as SFR parcels. Regardless of whether the improvements have been installed, if a building permit has been issued by the City as of June 30 each year, said parcels will be assessed an SFR parcels.
U-RES parcels with no improvements to the property are also treated and assessed as SFV parcels, so long as the improvements have not been installed. If the improvements have been installed, those parcels will be assessed based on the total number of single-family residential lots planned at build-out. The EU assigned to each parcel is based on the estimated number of single-family lots planned. When development occurs, the EU for these parcels will be converted to the actual number of parcels and corresponding development type.
The total District EU is then divided into the “Total Costs” (as shown in Part III of this Report) to determine the annual assessment rate. The EU for each parcel is then multiplied by the annual assessment rate to determine the annual assessment for each parcel. The budget for the annual maintenance, servicing and administration of the improvements has been prepared based on estimated and historical costs.
As of Fiscal Year 2021/22, all assessable parcels within the District have been developed.
The Meadowlands development was annexed into the District during the 2021/22 fiscal year. This annexation will add 62 single-family parcels to the District, bringing the total parcel count to 1,201 and the total EDU count to 1,163.20. For Fiscal Year 2022/23, the Meadowlands annexation will be assessed as U-RES, 0.25 per acre. The annexation is 13.39 acres. The parcel therefore will be assessed at 3.3475 EDU.
189
Engineer’s Report
Bridle Ridge Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District City of Oakdale
Fiscal Year 2026-27
15 APPENDIX A – ASSESSMENT ROLL
Parcel Identification for each lot or parcel within the District shall be based on available parcel maps and other property data from the Stanislaus County Assessor’s office as they existed at the time this Report was prepared and adopted by the City Council.
A complete listing of parcels assessed within the District for Fiscal Year 2026-27, along with the corresponding assessment amounts, is on file with the City Clerk. If any parcel submitted for collection is identified by the County Auditor/Controller to be an invalid parcel number for the current fiscal year, a corrected parcel number and/or new parcel numbers will be identified and resubmitted to the County Auditor/Controller. The assessment amount to be levied and collected for the resubmitted parcel(s) shall be based on the method of apportionment and assessment rate approved in this Report.
Therefore, if a single parcel has changed to multiple parcels, the assessment amounts applied to each of the new parcels shall be recalculated and applied according to the approved method of apportionment and assessment rate rather than a proportionate share of the original assessment.
Non-assessable lots or parcels include areas of public streets and other roadways (typically not assigned an APN by the County); dedicated public easements, open space areas and rights-of-way, including public greenbelts and parkways; utility rights-of-way; common areas; landlocked parcels; small parcels vacated by the County, bifurcated lots and any other property that cannot be developed or has specific development restrictions. These types of parcels receive little or no benefit from the improvements and are therefore, exempted from assessment. 190

Fiscal Year 2026-27
3 PART I – OVERVIEW
The District was formed for the purpose of ensuring the ongoing maintenance, operation and servicing of certain landscape and lighting improvements within the boundaries of the District. Said improvements are detailed below under Part II of this Report.
COMPLIANCE WITH THE CALIFORNIA CONSTITUTION
Assessments are levied annually pursuant to the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972, Part 2 of Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code (“1972 Act”). All assessments described in this Report and approved by the City Council are prepared in accordance with the 1972 Act and are in compliance with the provisions of the California Constitution Article XIIID (“Article XIIID”), which was enacted with the passage of Proposition 218 (“Prop 218”) in November 1996.
In accordance with the requirements of Prop 218, on August 17, 1999, the property owners approved a formula for increasing assessments in succeeding years that allows the assessments to increase by three percent (3.0%) annually.
Any future increase in the assessment rate, beyond the annual 3% adjustment, or substantial changes in the services provided that would cause an assessment increase would require that the District be brought into compliance with all of the requirements of Article XIIID and would require the approval of the property owners per Prop 218.
SUMMARY OF PROPOSED ASSESSMENT AND EXPENDITURES
A summary of the assessments to be levied is shown in the table below.

4 PART II – PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS
Plans and Specifications
The District was formed for the purpose of ensuring the ongoing maintenance, operation and servicing of certain landscape and lighting improvements within the boundaries of the District. Said improvements are detailed below.
The District is located in the area bounded by State Highway 108 to the north, Tioga Avenue to the south, Stanislaus County Assessor’s Map page 063-016 to the east and Crane Road to the west. The District originally consisted of 156 assessable parcels, all of which are developed single family residences. There was an annexation to the District completed in 2006/2007 which called for an additional 146 single family residential parcels (SFR), 71 medium density, detached parcels (MD-D), 50 multi-family residential units (MFR), and a 7.75 acre commercial parcel. This equated to a total EU at build-out of 278.00 for the annexed area.
During the Fiscal Year 2013/14, one large, vacant parcel was developed in the annexed area resulting in 54 single family lots. These SFR parcels are accounted for in the total EU described above.
The District currently consists of 356 single family residences, 61 MD-D parcels and one vacant commercial parcel (6.804 acres) for a total Equivalent Unit (“EU”) count of 392.668. The MFR units originally proposed for the annexed area have been re-zoned as commercial property. When those parcels develop, the total EU for the District will be adjusted accordingly. At build-out, the District is now proposed to consist of approximately 420.00 EU. Page 10 of this Report contains a table showing the corresponding EU for each parcel type.
At the time of annexation, the annexed area was referred to as Zone 2 and the original District was referred to as Zone 1.
At that time, the engineer’s report contained two separate budgets, one for each Zone. The improvements within the District however, shown on the next page, are the same for both areas. If one zone had unique improvements and costs, it would make sense, and in fact be necessary, to have separate and distinct budgets. Since the improvements within the District are uniform, there is no need for separate budgets. As a result the City has determined to combine the two budgets for ease of administration. In Fiscal Year 2014/15, the City Council approved combining the District budget page into a single budget. Prior to that time, the District had two separate budget sheets with the same cost items in each.
IMPROVEMENTS AND SERVICES PROVIDED
The improvements and services within the District include, but are not limited to: operation and maintenance of landscaping, trees, shrubs, groundcover, turf, parks, sidewalks, irrigation system, street lighting, drainage systems and associated appurtenances. Services provided include all necessary service, administration and maintenance required to keep the all improvements in a healthy, vigorous condition and in proper working order. The specific improvements maintained within the District are shown below:
• Street Landscaping – This includes turf, trees, shrubs and sidewalks along West “F” Street and Crane Road. • Parks and Detention Basin – This includes maintenance of all park areas, including turf, play areas and other facilities.
• Utilities – This includes water for the irrigation system and electricity supplied to the streetlights. • Irrigation System – This includes the maintenance and servicing of the irrigation controllers, including electrical power.

8 Capital Replacement Fund for Street Lighting (1)
This line item, shown on the budget page for the District, is specifically intended for the use in replacing the lighting poles for streetlights within the District. There are two reasons to consider the replacement of lighting poles. First, there is a finite life span of a standard lighting pole, which is approximately 20 years. Secondly, there must be a contingency plan in place for the possibility that a lighting pole gets damaged or knocked down, either by way of accident or natural disaster.
The current replacement cost of a lighting pole is approximately $500.00.

($227.28 * 154) / 20 years = $1,750.00 + $154.00 for Contingency = $1,904.05 annually.
Capital Replacement Fund for Street Trees (2)
This line item, shown on the budget page for the District, is specifically intended for the use in replacing and trimming of the street trees within the District. There are three reasons to prepare for this: First, there is a finite life span of all trees.
Different trees have different life spans but all will need to be replaced at some point in the future. Secondly, there must be a contingency plan in place for the possibility that a tree gets damaged or is knocked down, either by way of accident or natural disaster. Third and lastly, as the street trees get larger, they will need to be trimmed by a professional arborist, which will extend the life of the trees and reduce the possibility that the trees might fall down in high wind, causing additional damage.

9 Capital Replacement Fund for Park Structures (3)
This line item, shown on the budget page for the District, is specifically intended for the use in replacing the playground equipment within the District. There are two reasons to consider the replacement of this improvement. First, there is a finite life span of this equipment, which is approximately 20 years. Secondly, there must be a contingency plan in place for the possibility that the equipment is damaged, either by way of accident, vandalism or natural disaster.
The Vineyard District has 2 parks. Each park has a structure, installed at different times. The structure in Vineyard Park I was installed in April of 2006. The expected remaining life span for this structure is 13 years. The structure in Vineyard Park II was installed in April of 2010 has an expected remaining life span of 17 years. The current replacement cost of the older park structure, in Vineyard I, is approximately $84,000.00. The current replacement cost for the park structure in Vineyard II is approximately $111,000.00.

Total replacement cost for both park structures is $9,797.28.
The above calculations will be reviewed and revised as necessary, on an annual basis, to ensure the annual collections are sufficient to meet the future replacement needs of the District. 242

11 PART IV – METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT
Method of Apportionment
General Provisions
The 1972 Act permits the establishment of assessment districts by agencies for the purpose of providing certain public improvements which include the construction, maintenance and servicing of public lights, landscaping and appurtenant facilities. The 1972 Act further requires that the cost of these improvements be levied according to benefit rather than assessed value:
“The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements.”
The formula used for calculating assessments in the District therefore reflects the composition of the parcels, and the improvements and services provided, to fairly apportion the costs based on estimated benefit to each parcel. In addition, pursuant to Prop 218:
“No assessment shall be imposed on any parcel which exceeds the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel. Only special benefits are assessable and an agency shall separate the general benefits from the special benefits conferred on a parcel.”
Benefit Analysis
Each of the improvements have been carefully reviewed by the City and the corresponding assessments have been proportionately spread to each parcel based on improvements as determined at the time the District was established.
General Benefits
The improvements within this District are a direct result of property development within the District and would otherwise not be required or necessary. The landscaping improvements were installed either as conditions of approval for the development or to serve the development needs, character, and marketability of the properties within the District. In either case, the improvements are clearly installed for the benefit of the properties developed and not for the benefit of surrounding properties.
Although many landscape improvements (by virtue of their location), may be visible to surrounding properties or to the public at large, any benefit received by properties outside the District or by the public at large is incidental, secondary, and not separable from the special benefits conferred upon the assessed parcels within the District.. Therefore, it has been determined that the improvements within this District and the ongoing operation and maintenance of those improvements are clearly a direct and special benefit to properties within the District. Unless otherwise noted, these improvements provide no measurable general benefit to properties outside the District or to the public at large. 244
Engineer’s Report
Vineyard Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District
City of Oakdale
Fiscal Year 2026-27
12 Special Benefits
The method of apportionment (assessment methodology) approved at the time the District was formed is based on the premise that each of the assessed parcels within the District receives benefit from the improvements maintained and financed by annual assessments. Specifically, the assessments are for the maintenance of local landscape improvements installed as part of the original improvement. The desirability, appearance, functionality, and safety of properties within the District are enhanced by the continued maintenance of landscaping improvements, open space areas, and weed abatement activities located in proximity to and serving those properties. The special benefits associated with the local landscaping improvements are specifically:
• Enhanced desirability of properties through association with the improvements. • Improved aesthetic appearance and visual environment within the District. • Enhanced integration of developed properties with landscaped open space and greenbelt areas. • Environmental enhancement through improved erosion resistance, weed abatement, and dust/debris control.
• Preservation of community character and development standards established for the development.
The foregoing special benefits are particular and distinct to the assessed parcels within the District and provide a direct enhancement to the desirability, utility, marketability, and continued enjoyment of those properties over and above any incidental benefit conferred on the public at large.
Non-Assessable Parcels
Within the boundaries of the District, there are several types of properties that are considered to receive no special benefit from the District improvements and are therefore not assessed. These parcels may include:
1) Publicly owned parcels that are reserved as Public Open Space or are developed as City Parks for active recreation and are maintained and serviced by the District; 2) Publicly owned wetland parcels;
3) Certain Public Utility parcels;
4) Privately owned open space parcels; and
5) Privately owned "sliver" parcels that have resulted from a lot line adjustment with an adjacent larger parcel Assessment Range Formula
It is generally recognized that most budgetary items will be impacted by inflation in future years. In accordance with the California Constitution, Section 53739 (b)(1), assessments “may be adjusted for inflation pursuant to a clearly defined formula…” A formula for an inflationary adjustment is therefore included as part of the maximum assessment within the District and was approved by the property owner(s) at the time of formation/annexation. The formula, as described below, allows for annual adjustments to the budget and the assessments.
Generally, any new or increased assessment requires certain noticing and meeting requirements by law. The Government Code excludes certain conditions of a new or increased assessment. These conditions include, “An assessment that does not exceed an assessment formula or range of assessments previously specified in the notice given to the public…and that was previously adopted by the agency…”
The initial maximum assessment for the District was established at the time of formation. The initial maximum assessment has been adjusted each fiscal year subsequent to the year of formation (2003/04), by the following Assessment Range Formula:
245
Engineer’s Report
Vineyard Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District
City of Oakdale
Fiscal Year 2026-27
13 • The Maximum Assessment Rate allowed each fiscal year (the “Adjusted Maximum Assessment Rate”) shall be based on the initial maximum assessment, adjusted annually by a percentage not greater than three percent (3%) over the previous year’s maximum assessment. • Each fiscal year, the 3% increase has been applied to the Maximum Assessment Rate established the previous fiscal year to calculate the Adjusted Maximum Assessment Rate for the then current fiscal year.
• If the proposed annual assessment rate is less than or equal to the Adjusted Maximum Assessment Rate established for that fiscal year, the proposed annual assessment is not considered an increase.
Beginning in the second fiscal year after the formation of the District (2004/05), and each fiscal year since, the Maximum Assessment Rate has been recalculated and a new Maximum Assessment Rate (Adjusted Maximum Assessment Rate) has been established for each fiscal year using the Assessment Range Formula described above. The Adjusted Maximum Assessment Rate has been calculated independent of the annual budget and proposed assessment rate for the given fiscal year. As stated above, if the proposed annual assessment for any fiscal year does not exceed the Adjusted Maximum Assessment Rate for that year, it is not considered an increased assessment under the terms of Proposition 218 or the Government Code.
A table showing the historical increases and the corresponding Adjusted Maximum Assessment for each year since the formation of the District is shown in the table on the following page. 246
Engineer’s Report
Vineyard Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District
City of Oakdale
Fiscal Year 2026-27
14 Historical Increases
To impose a new assessment or increased assessment in excess of the Maximum Assessment Rate for the current fiscal year, as provided by the preceding Assessment Range Formula, the City must comply with the provisions of the California Constitution, Article XIII D, Section 4c that requires a public hearing and certain protest procedures including mailed notice of the public hearing and property owner protest balloting. Property owners must approve the proposed new or increased assessment via a property owner protest balloting process before any such new or increased assessment can be imposed.
A protest occurs when, at the public hearing, the returned assessment ballots opposed to the new or increased assessment outweigh the returned ballots in favor of the new or increased assessment, weighting those assessment ballots by the financial obligation of each parcel.
The definition of new or increased assessments includes any assessment which, 1) did not previously exist or, 2) exceeds a previously approved assessment amount or assessment range formula. Any assessment range formula must have been previously adopted by the agency and approved by the property owners in the area where the assessment is imposed. 247

15 Assessment Methodology
The benefit formula used to determine the financial obligation for each parcel is based on the improvements benefitting the parcels, as well as the use, or type, of each parcel that benefits from said improvements. One of the more common approaches to fairly distributing District costs to the benefitting parcels in maintenance districts such as this utilizes a methodology referred to as the Equivalent Unit (“EU”) method of apportionment. This method utilizes various property characteristics such as development status, type of development (land-use) and size (units or acreage) to compare the proportional benefit of each property compared to other properties benefitting from the improvements.
The District is currently comprised of three parcel types, single family residential, medium density detached residences and vacant. The Method of Apportionment considers that other parcel types might be developed in the future and assigns an EU factor to vacant parcels. The table below shows the different parcel types and the EU assigned to each.
Parcel Type Equivalent Units
Single Family Residence (SFR) 1.00 EU per lot
Medium Density Residence (MD-D) 0.60 EU per dwelling*
Multi-Family Residence (MFR) 0.60 EU per dwelling
Commercial Property (COM) 1.00 EU per quarter acre (or portion) Vacant/Undeveloped Land (VAC) 0.01 EU per acre (Minimum one acre) *The EU for this parcel type was originally designated as 1.00. It was subsequently changed to 0.60 per EU to account for the smaller size and corresponding reduced benefit for these parcels. 248

16 APPENDIX A – ASSESSMENT ROLL
Parcel Identification for each lot or parcel within the District shall be based on available parcel maps and other property data from the Stanislaus County Assessor’s office as they existed at the time this Report was prepared and adopted by the City Council.
A complete listing of parcels assessed within the District for Fiscal Year 2026/27, along with the corresponding assessment amounts, is included on the following pages. If any parcel submitted for collection is identified by the County Auditor/Controller to be an invalid parcel number for the current fiscal year, a corrected parcel number and/or new parcel numbers will be identified and resubmitted to the County Auditor/Controller. The assessment amount to be levied and collected for the resubmitted parcel(s) shall be based on the method of apportionment and assessment rate approved in this Report. Therefore, if a single parcel has changed to multiple parcels, the assessment amounts applied to each of the new parcels shall be recalculated and applied according to the approved method of apportionment and assessment rate rather than a proportionate share of the original assessment.
Non-assessable lots or parcels include areas of public streets and other roadways (typically not assigned an APN by the County); dedicated public easements, open space areas and rights-of-way, including public greenbelts and parkways; utility rights-of-way; common areas; landlocked parcels; small parcels vacated by the County, bifurcated lots and any other property that cannot be developed or has specific development restrictions. These types of parcels are considered to receive little or no benefit from the improvements and are therefore, exempted from assessment. 249

3 PART I – OVERVIEW
The District was formed for the purpose of ensuring the ongoing maintenance, operation and servicing of certain landscape and lighting improvements within the boundaries of the District. Said improvements are detailed below under Part II of this Report.
COMPLIANCE WITH THE CALIFORNIA CONSTITUTION
Assessments are levied annually pursuant to the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972, Part 2 of Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code (“1972 Act”). All assessments described in this Report and approved by the City Council are prepared in accordance with the 1972 Act and are in compliance with the provisions of the California Constitution Article XIIID (“Article XIIID”), which was enacted with the passage of Proposition 218 (“Prop 218”) in November 1996.
In accordance with the requirements of Prop 218, on August 17, 1999, the property owners approved a formula for increasing assessments in succeeding years that allows the maintenance cost to increase according to the San Francisco/Oakland/Hayward Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U).
Any future increase in the assessment rate, beyond the annual CPI-U adjustment, or substantial changes in the services provided that would cause an assessment increase would require that the District be brought into compliance with all of the requirements of Article XIIID and would require the approval of the property owners per Prop 218.
SUMMARY OF PROPOSED ASSESSMENT AND EXPENDITURES
A summary of the assessments to be levied is shown in the table below.

7 Capital Replacement Fund for Street Lighting (1)
This line item, shown on the budget page for the District, is specifically intended for the use in replacing the lighting poles for streetlights within the District. There are two reasons to consider the replacement of lighting poles. First, there is a finite life span of a standard lighting pole, which is approximately 20 years. Secondly, there must be a contingency plan in place for the possibility that a lighting pole gets damaged or knocked down, either by way of accident or natural disaster.
The current replacement cost of a lighting pole is approximately $500.00.

$500.00 per light pole * 68 poles = $34,000.00 / 20 years = $1,700.00 + $68.00 for Contingency = $1,768.00.
Capital Replacement Fund for Street Trees (2)
This line item, shown on the budget page for the District, is specifically intended for the use in replacing and trimming of the street trees within the District. There are three reasons to prepare for this: First, there is a finite life span of all trees. Different trees have different life spans but all will need to be replaced at some point in the future. Secondly, there must be a contingency plan in place for the possibility that a tree gets damaged or is knocked down, either by way of accident or natural disaster. Third and lastly, as the street trees get larger, they will need to be trimmed by a professional arborist which will extend the life of the trees and reduce the possibility that the trees might fall down in high wind, causing additional damage.
Currently, the District assessment amounts are insufficient to contribute to this Capital Replacement Fund. The table below shows sample calculations of how much will need to be collected on an annual basis to pay for the replacement of the street trees in the District.

8 Capital Replacement Fund for Park Structures (3)
This line item, shown on the budget page for the District, is specifically intended for the use in replacing the playground equipment within the District. There are two reasons to consider the replacement of this improvement. First, there is a finite life span of this equipment, which is approximately 20 years. Secondly, there must be a contingency plan in place for the possibility that the equipment is damaged, either by way of accident, vandalism or natural disaster. The current replacement cost of the park structure in this District is approximately $75,000.00. The park structure was installed in April of 2004. The expected remaining life span for this structure is approximately 5 years, as of Fiscal Year 2021/22.
Currently, the District assessment amounts are insufficient to contribute to this Capital Replacement Fund. The table below shows sample calculations of how much will need to be collected on an annual basis to pay for the replacement of the park structure in the District, assuming collections began in the 2013/2014 fiscal year. Replacement collections have not begun, as of Fiscal Year 2026/27. The calculations shown below are out of date and will be updated when collections begin.

$75,000.00 / 11 years = $6,818.18 + $100.00 for Contingency = $6,918.18 The above calculations will be reviewed and revised as necessary, on an annual basis, to ensure the annual collections are sufficient to meet the future replacement needs of the District.
Currently, the District assessment amounts are insufficient to contribute to this Capital Replacement Fund. 281

Stanislaus County charges $75.00 per Agency, $25.00 per District and $0.20 per parcel. Each of the City’s nine Districts shares in the $75.00 charge equally. The $0.20 is added to the assessment amounts after they have been submitted to the County for inclusion on the Tax Roll. To ensure that the actual assessment amount for each parcel does not exceed the amount shown in this Report, $0.20 is removed from the amount submitted to the County each year. When the County adds their fee ($0.20 per parcel), the assessment amount shown on the tax bill is accurate.
Operating Reserve Fund Collection/(Reduction): This item shows the amount collected for or reduced (used) from the District Reserve Fund.
Capital Replacement Funds: See descriptions above.

10 PART IV – METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT
Method of Apportionment
General Provisions
The 1972 Act permits the establishment of assessment districts by agencies for the purpose of providing certain public improvements which include the construction, maintenance and servicing of public lights, landscaping and appurtenant facilities. The 1972 Act further requires that the cost of these improvements be levied according to benefit rather than assessed value:
“The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements.” The formula used for calculating assessments in the District therefore reflects the composition of the parcels, and the improvements and services provided, to fairly apportion the costs based on estimated benefit to each parcel. In addition, pursuant to Prop 218:
“No assessment shall be imposed on any parcel which exceeds the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel. Only special benefits are assessable and an agency shall separate the general benefits from the special benefits conferred on a parcel.”
Benefit Analysis
Each of the improvements have been carefully reviewed by the City and the corresponding assessments have been proportionately spread to each parcel based on improvements as determined at the time the District was established.
General Benefits
The improvements within this District are a direct result of property development within the District and would otherwise not be required or necessary. The landscaping improvements were installed either as conditions of approval for the development or to serve the development needs, character, and marketability of the properties within the District. In either case, the improvements are clearly installed for the benefit of the properties developed and not for the benefit of surrounding properties.
Although many landscape improvements (by virtue of their location), may be visible to surrounding properties or to the public at large, any benefit received by properties outside the District or by the public at large is incidental, secondary, and not separable from the special benefits conferred upon the assessed parcels within the District.. Therefore, it has been determined that the improvements within this District and the ongoing operation and maintenance of those improvements are clearly a direct and special benefit to properties within the District. Unless otherwise noted, these improvements provide no measurable general benefit to properties outside the District or to the public at large. 283
Engineer’s Report
Burchell Hill Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District City of Oakdale
Fiscal Year 2026-27
11 Special Benefits
The method of apportionment (assessment methodology) approved at the time the District was formed is based on the premise that each of the assessed parcels within the District receives benefit from the improvements maintained and financed by annual assessments. Specifically, the assessments are for the maintenance of local landscape improvements installed as part of the original improvement. The desirability, appearance, functionality, and safety of properties within the District are enhanced by the continued maintenance of landscaping improvements, open space areas, and weed abatement activities located in proximity to and serving those properties. The special benefits associated with the local landscaping improvements are specifically:
• Enhanced desirability of properties through association with the improvements. • Improved aesthetic appearance and visual environment within the District. • Enhanced integration of developed properties with landscaped open space and greenbelt areas. • Preservation of community character and development standards established for the development. • Environmental enhancement and property protection through improved erosion resistance, weed abatement, and reduction of dust, debris, and nuisance vegetation.
The foregoing special benefits are particular and distinct to the assessed parcels within the District and provide a direct enhancement to the desirability, utility, marketability, and continued enjoyment of those properties over and above any incidental benefit conferred on the public at large.
Non-Assessable Parcels
Within the boundaries of the District, there are several types of properties that receive little to no special benefit from the District improvements and are therefore not assessed. These parcels may include:
1) Publicly owned parcels that are reserved as Public Open Space or are developed as City Parks for active recreation and are maintained and serviced by the District; 2) Certain Public Utility parcels;
3) Privately owned open space parcels; and
4) Privately owned "sliver" parcels resulting from a lot line adjustment with an adjacent larger parcel Assessment Range Formula
It is generally recognized that most budgetary items will be impacted by inflation in future years. In accordance with the California Constitution, Section 53739 (b)(1), assessments “may be adjusted for inflation pursuant to a clearly defined formula…” A formula for an inflationary adjustment is therefore included as part of the maximum assessment within the District and was approved by the property owner(s) at the time of formation/annexation. The formula, as described below, allows for annual adjustments to the budget and the assessments.
Generally, any new or increased assessment requires certain noticing and meeting requirements by law. The Government Code excludes certain conditions of a new or increased assessment. These conditions include, “An assessment that does not exceed an assessment formula or range of assessments previously specified in the notice given to the public…and that was previously adopted by the agency…”

12 The initial maximum assessment for the District was established at the time of formation. At that time, the development plans called for 361 assessable parcels. After build-out however, the actual number of assessable parcels was 354. The initial maximum assessment has been adjusted each fiscal year subsequent to the year of formation (1999/2000), by the following Assessment Range Formula:
• The Maximum Assessment Rate allowed each fiscal year (the “Adjusted Maximum Assessment Rate”) shall be based on the initial maximum assessment, adjusted annually by Bureau of Labor Statistics, Consumer Price Index for the month of February, All Urban Consumers, (“CPI”) for the San Francisco/Oakland/San Jose area. Should the Bureau of Labor Statistics revise or discontinue the preparation of such index, the City reserves the right to use such revised index or a comparable system to determine fluctuations in the annual cost of living. • Each fiscal year, the February CPI increase has been applied to the Maximum Assessment Rate established the previous fiscal year to calculate the appropriate Adjusted Maximum Assessment Rate for the then current fiscal year.
• If the proposed annual assessment rate for the upcoming fiscal year is less than or equal to the Adjusted Maximum Assessment Rate established for that fiscal year then the proposed annual assessment is not considered an increased assessment.
• If for any reason the percentage increase for a fiscal year is a negative number, the Adjusted Maximum Assessment shall not be decreased by reason of such negative number and shall remain at the amount as computed the previous fiscal year.
Beginning in the second fiscal year after the formation of the District (2000/01), and each fiscal year since, the Maximum Assessment Rate has been recalculated and a new Maximum Assessment Rate (Adjusted Maximum Assessment Rate) has been established for each fiscal year using the Assessment Range Formula described above. The Adjusted Maximum Assessment Rate has been calculated independent of the annual budget and proposed assessment rate for the given fiscal year. As stated above, if the proposed annual assessment for any fiscal year does not exceed the Adjusted Maximum Assessment Rate for that year, it is not considered an increased assessment under the terms of Proposition 218 or the Government Code.
The CPI increase for the one-year period ending in February 2026 is 2.47%. A table showing the historical CPI increases and the corresponding Adjusted Maximum Assessment for each year since the formation of the District is shown on the next page.

13 Historical CPI Increases
To impose a new assessment or increased assessment in excess of the Maximum Assessment Rate for the current fiscal year, as provided by the preceding Assessment Range Formula, the City must comply with the provisions of the California Constitution, Article XIII D, Section 4c that requires a public hearing and certain protest procedures including mailed notice of the public hearing and property owner protest balloting. Property owners must approve the proposed new or increased assessment via a property owner protest balloting process before any such new or increased assessment can be imposed.
A protest occurs when, at the public hearing, the returned assessment ballots opposed to the new or increased assessment outweigh the returned ballots in favor of the new or increased assessment, weighting those assessment ballots by the financial obligation of each parcel.

14 The definition of new or increased assessments includes any assessment which, 1) did not previously exist or, 2) exceeds a previously approved assessment amount or assessment range formula. Any assessment range formula must have been previously adopted by the agency and approved by the property owners in the area where the assessment is imposed.
Assessment Methodology
The benefit formula used to determine the financial obligation for each parcel is based on the improvements benefitting the parcels, as well as the use, or type, of each parcel that benefits from said improvements. One of the more common approaches to fairly distributing District costs to the benefitting parcels in maintenance districts such as this utilizes a methodology referred to as the Per Parcel method of apportionment. This method recognizes that each parcel within a District benefits equally from the improvements, typically this occurs when all parcels within the District are of the same type and are within the same development.
The District is comprised of a single parcel type – residential. The parcels are single family residential parcels (“SFR”) and as such are deemed to benefit equally from the improvements. Each assessable parcel within the District is assigned a unit factor of 1.00. The total number of units (or parcels) is then divided into the “Total Costs” (as shown in Section III of this Report) to determine the annual assessment rate per parcel. 287

15 APPENDIX A – ASSESSMENT ROLL
Parcel Identification for each lot or parcel within the District shall be based on available parcel maps and other property data from the Stanislaus County Assessor’s office as they existed at the time this Report was prepared and adopted by the City Council.
A complete listing of parcels assessed within the District for Fiscal Year 2026/27, along with the corresponding assessment amounts, is included on the following pages. If any parcel submitted for collection is identified by the County Auditor/Controller to be an invalid parcel number for the current fiscal year, a corrected parcel number and/or new parcel numbers will be identified and resubmitted to the County Auditor/Controller. The assessment amount to be levied and collected for the resubmitted parcel(s) shall be based on the method of apportionment and assessment rate approved in this Report. Therefore, if a single parcel has changed to multiple parcels, the assessment amounts applied to each of the new parcels shall be recalculated and applied according to the approved method of apportionment and assessment rate rather than a proportionate share of the original assessment.
Non-assessable lots or parcels include areas of public streets and other roadways (typically not assigned an APN by the County); dedicated public easements, open space areas and rights-of-way, including public greenbelts and parkways; utility rights-of-way; common areas; landlocked parcels; small parcels vacated by the County, bifurcated lots and any other property that cannot be developed or has specific development restrictions. These types of parcels are considered to receive little or no benefit from the improvements and are therefore, exempted from assessment. 288

3 PART I – OVERVIEW
The District was formed for the purpose of ensuring the ongoing maintenance, operation and servicing of certain landscape and lighting improvements within the boundaries of the District. Said improvements are detailed below under Part II of this Report.
COMPLIANCE WITH THE CALIFORNIA CONSTITUTION
Assessments are levied annually pursuant to the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972, Part 2 of Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code (“1972 Act”). All assessments described in this Report and approved by the City Council are prepared in accordance with the 1972 Act and are in compliance with the provisions of the California Constitution Article XIIID (“Article XIIID”), which was enacted with the passage of Proposition 218 (“Prop 218”) in November 1996.
In accordance with the requirements of Prop 218, on August 17, 1999, the property owners approved a formula for increasing assessments in succeeding years that allows the assessments to increase by three percent (3.0%) annually.
Any future increase in the assessment rate, beyond the annual 3% adjustment, or substantial changes in the services provided that would cause an assessment increase would require that the District be brought into compliance with all of the requirements of Article XIIID and would require the approval of the property owners per Prop 218.

• Zone 5 – Murdoch Estates: Located north of Sierra Road, generally east of Viewpoint Avenue and generally west of Maag Avenue.
IMPROVEMENTS AND SERVICES PROVIDED
The improvements and services within the District include but are not limited to: operation and maintenance of landscaping, trees, shrubs, groundcover, turf, parks, sidewalks, irrigation system, street lighting, drainage systems and associated appurtenances. The services provided include all necessary service, administration and maintenance required to keep all the improvements in a healthy, vigorous condition and in proper working order. The specific improvements maintained within the District are on file with the City and shown below:

15 Capital Replacement Fund for Street Lighting
This line item, shown on the budget page for the District, is specifically intended for the use in replacing the lighting poles for street lights within the District. There are two reasons to consider the replacement of lighting poles. First, there is a finite life span of a standard lighting pole, which is approximately 20 years. Secondly, there must be a contingency plan in place for the possibility that a lighting pole gets damaged or knocked down, either by way of accident or natural disaster.
The current replacement cost of a lighting pole is approximately $500.00.

This line item, shown on the budget page for the District, is specifically intended for the use in replacing and trimming of the street trees within the District. There are three reasons to prepare for this: First, there is a finite life span of all trees.
Different trees have different life spans but all will need to be replaced at some point in the future. Secondly, there must be a contingency plan in place for the possibility that a tree gets damaged or is knocked down, either by way of accident or natural disaster. Third and lastly, as the street trees get larger, they will need to be trimmed by a professional arborist which will extend the life of the trees and reduce the possibility that the trees might fall down in high wind, causing additional damage.

19 PART IV – METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT
Method of Apportionment
General Provisions
The 1972 Act permits the establishment of assessment districts by agencies for the purpose of providing certain public improvements which include the construction, maintenance and servicing of public lights, landscaping and appurtenant facilities. The 1972 Act further requires that the cost of these improvements be levied according to benefit rather than assessed value:
“The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements.”
The formula used for calculating assessments in the District therefore reflects the composition of the parcels, and the improvements and services provided, to fairly apportion the costs based on estimated benefit to each parcel. In addition, pursuant to Prop 218:
“No assessment shall be imposed on any parcel which exceeds the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel. Only special benefits are assessable and an agency shall separate the general benefits from the special benefits conferred on a parcel.”
Benefit Analysis
The improvements maintained by the District have been reviewed by the City, and the corresponding assessments are apportioned among the benefited parcels in accordance with the assessment methodology established at the time of formation. The assessment assigned to each parcel reflects its proportional share of the costs associated with maintaining and servicing the improvements that confer special benefit upon the parcel.
General Benefits
The improvements within this District are a direct result of property development within the District and would otherwise not be required or necessary. The improvements were installed either as conditions of approval for the development or to serve the development needs, character, safety, and marketability of the properties within the District. In either case, the improvements are clearly installed for the benefit of the developed properties and not for the benefit of surrounding properties.
Although many landscape improvements (by virtue of their location), may be visible to surrounding properties or to the public at large any benefit received by properties outside the District or by the public at large is incidental, secondary, and not separable from the special benefits conferred upon the assessed parcels within the District. Therefore, it has been determined that the improvements within this District and the ongoing operation and maintenance of those improvements are clearly a direct and special benefit to properties within the District. Unless otherwise noted, these improvements provide no measurable general benefit to properties outside the District or to the public at large. 330
Engineer’s Report
Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District No. 03-1
City of Oakdale
Fiscal Year 2026-27
20 Special Benefits
The method of apportionment (assessment methodology) approved at the time the District was formed is based on the premise that each of the assessed parcels within the District receives benefit from the improvements maintained and financed by annual assessments. Specifically, the assessments provide for the operation, maintenance, and servicing of landscaping, open space areas, irrigation systems, street and site lighting, hardscape improvements, walls, sound walls, and related appurtenant improvements installed as part of the original development. The desirability, appearance, functionality, accessibility, and safety of properties within the District are enhanced by the continued maintenance of these improvements in proximity to and serving those properties. The special benefits associated with the local landscaping improvements are specifically:
• Enhanced desirability and marketability of properties through association with well-maintained improvements.
• Improved aesthetic appearance and visual environment within the development. • Preservation of community character and development standards established for the development. • Enhanced integration of developed properties with landscaped open space and common areas. • Environmental enhancement and property protection through improved erosion resistance, weed abatement, vegetation management, and reduction of dust and debris. • Improved ingress and egress to properties through enhanced visibility and circulation within the development.
• Improved pedestrian and vehicular visibility and circulation resulting from maintained lighting improvements.
• Enhanced pedestrian and vehicular safety through improved nighttime visibility. • Improved accessibility for emergency vehicles and emergency response services. • Enhanced nighttime visibility and security for residents, visitors, and property users. • Improved functionality and appearance of landscaped common areas, irrigation systems, hardscape features, walls, sound walls, and related appurtenant improvements.
The foregoing special benefits are particular and distinct to the assessed parcels within the District and provide a direct enhancement to the desirability, utility, accessibility, safety, functionality, and marketability of those properties over and above any incidental benefit conferred on the public at large.
Non-Assessable Parcels
Within the boundaries of the District, there are several types of properties that are considered to receive no special benefit from the District improvements and are therefore not assessed. These parcels may include:
1) Publicly owned parcels that are reserved as Public Open Space or are developed as City Parks for active recreation and are maintained and serviced by the District; 2) Publicly owned wetland parcels;
3) Certain Public Utility parcels;
4) Privately owned open space parcels; and
5) Privately owned "sliver" parcels that have resulted from a lot line adjustment with an adjacent larger parcel 331

21 Assessment Range Formula
It is generally recognized that most budgetary items will be impacted by inflation in future years. In accordance with the California Constitution, Section 53739 (b)(1), assessments “may be adjusted for inflation pursuant to a clearly defined formula…” A formula for an inflationary adjustment is therefore included as part of the maximum assessment within the District and was approved by the property owner(s) at the time of formation/annexation. The formula, as described below, allows for annual adjustments to the budget and the assessments.
Generally, any new or increased assessment requires certain noticing and meeting requirements by law. The Government Code excludes certain conditions of a new or increased assessment. These conditions include, “An assessment that does not exceed an assessment formula or range of assessments previously specified in the notice given to the public…and that was previously adopted by the agency…”
The initial maximum assessment for the District was established at the time of formation. The initial maximum assessment has been adjusted each fiscal year subsequent to the year of formation (2003/04), by the following Assessment Range Formula:
• The Maximum Assessment Rate allowed each fiscal year (the “Adjusted Maximum Assessment Rate”) shall be based on the initial maximum assessment, adjusted annually by a percentage not greater than three percent (3%) over the previous year’s maximum assessment. • Each fiscal year, the 3% increase has been applied to the Maximum Assessment Rate established the previous fiscal year to calculate the Adjusted Maximum Assessment Rate for the then current fiscal year.
• If the proposed annual assessment rate is less than or equal to the Adjusted Maximum Assessment Rate established for that fiscal year, the proposed annual assessment is not considered an increase.
Beginning in the second fiscal year after the annexation of a Zone and each fiscal year since, the Maximum Assessment Rate has been recalculated and a new Maximum Assessment Rate (Adjusted Maximum Assessment Rate) has been established for each fiscal year using the Assessment Range Formula described above. The Adjusted Maximum Assessment Rate has been calculated independent of the annual budget and proposed assessment rate for the given fiscal year. As stated above, if the proposed annual assessment for any fiscal year does not exceed the Adjusted Maximum Assessment Rate for that year, it is not considered an increased assessment under the terms of Proposition 218 or the Government Code.
A tables on the following pages show the historical increases and the corresponding Adjusted Maximum Assessment for each year since the formation of the District. Also shown are the Actual Assessments for each year, along with the amount submitted to the County. Stanislaus County adds $0.20 per parcel as a collection fee. The amounts submitted must account for the additional $0.20 that will be added by the County. 332

Zone 5 – Murdoch Estates
To impose a new assessment or increased assessment in excess of the Maximum Assessment Rate for the current fiscal year, as provided by the preceding Assessment Range Formula, the City must comply with the provisions of the California Constitution, Article XIII D, Section 4c that requires a public hearing and certain protest procedures including mailed notice of the public hearing and property owner protest balloting. Property owners must approve the proposed new or increased assessment via a property owner protest balloting process before any such new or increased assessment can be imposed.
A protest occurs when, at the public hearing, the returned assessment ballots opposed to the new or increased assessment outweigh the returned ballots in favor of the new or increased assessment, weighing those assessment ballots by the financial obligation of each parcel.
The definition of new or increased assessments includes any assessment which, 1) did not previously exist or, 2) exceeds a previously approved assessment amount or assessment range formula. Any assessment range formula must have been previously adopted by the agency and approved by the property owners in the area where the assessment is imposed. 337

27 Assessment Methodology
The benefit formula used to determine the financial obligation for each parcel is based on the improvements benefiting the parcels, as well as the use, or type, of each parcel that benefits from said improvements. One of the more common approaches to fairly distributing District costs to the benefitting parcels in maintenance districts such as this utilizes a methodology referred to as the Equivalent Unit (“EU”) method of apportionment. This method utilizes various property characteristics such as development status, type of development (land-use) and size (units or acreage) to compare the proportional benefit of each property compared to other properties benefiting from the improvements.
The District is comprised of two residential parcel types; subdivided, developed single family residential parcels (“SFR”) and subdivided, undeveloped single family parcels (“SFV”).
The SFR parcels are used as the baseline for assessment purposes and are deemed to receive equal benefit from the improvements. Each SFR parcel therefore is assigned 1 unit per parcel or 1 EU.
SFV parcels have been assigned an EU factor of .25 per acre, so long as the improvements have not been installed. If the improvements have been installed, those parcels will be assessed as SFR parcels. Regardless of whether the improvements have been installed, if a building permit has been issued by the City as of June 30 each year, said parcels will be assessed as SFR parcels.
* Zone 5 (Murdoch Estates): This Zone contains 8 assessable parcels. In prior years, each parcel was assessed as an SFR parcel (as detailed above). Beginning in Fiscal Year 2015/16, the City Council approved a reduction in the EU for parcels that fall into the SFV category as shown above. As a result, the total EU count for Zone 5 was reduced from 8.00 to 3.22 (rounded). For Fiscal Year 2017/18, one of the SFV parcels developed and is now being assessed as an SFR, bringing the total EU count for the Zone to 4.17. In Fiscal Year 2020/21, 2 additional parcels were developed and will be assessed as an SFR, bringing the total EU count for the Zone to 7.04 (rounded).
As of Fiscal Year 2021/22, all lots have been developed, and the Zone EU is now 8.00. 338

28 APPENDIX A – ASSESSMENT ROLL
Parcel Identification for each lot or parcel within the District shall be based on available parcel maps and other property data from the Stanislaus County Assessor’s office as they existed at the time this Report was prepared and adopted by the City Council.
A complete listing of parcels assessed within the District for Fiscal Year 2026/27, along with the corresponding assessment amounts, is included on the following pages. If any parcel submitted for collection is identified by the County Auditor/Controller to be an invalid parcel number for the current fiscal year, a corrected parcel number and/or new parcel numbers will be identified and resubmitted to the County Auditor/Controller. The assessment amount to be levied and collected for the resubmitted parcel(s) shall be based on the method of apportionment and assessment rate approved in this Report. Therefore, if a single parcel has changed to multiple parcels, the assessment amounts applied to each of the new parcels shall be recalculated and applied according to the approved method of apportionment and assessment rate rather than a proportionate share of the original assessment.
Non-assessable lots or parcels include areas of public streets and other roadways (typically not assigned an APN by the County); dedicated public easements, open space areas and rights-of-way, including public greenbelts and parkways; utility rights-of-way; common areas; landlocked parcels; small parcels vacated by the County, bifurcated lots and any other property that cannot be developed or has specific development restrictions. These types of parcels are considered to receive little or no benefit from the improvements and are therefore, exempted from assessment. 339

Reviewed by: Jeff Gravel, Public Services Director
Subject: Introduction of an Ordinance Amending Chapter 30 of the Oakdale Municipal Code Adding Article VII “Sidewalk Maintenance, Repair, and Replacement”
BACKGROUND
Sidewalks within the City’s public right-of-way provide essential infrastructure for pedestrian travel and accessibility. Over time, sidewalks may become damaged by tree root intrusion, soil movement, weathering, and other factors, resulting in vertical displacement, cracking, and other hazardous conditions.
Historically, the City has addressed sidewalk issues when notified by a resident. However, the City’s Municipal Code does not currently provide a comprehensive, clearly defined framework assigning responsibility for sidewalk maintenance, repair, and replacement.
Under the California Streets and Highways Code (SHC:5610-5618), adjacent property owners are responsible for maintaining the sidewalk fronting their property. This ordinance formalizes that responsibility within the Oakdale Municipal Code and establishes consistent procedures for enforcement, repair, and cost recovery.
DISCUSSION
The proposed ordinance adds Article VII to Chapter 30 and establishes a comprehensive sidewalk maintenance and repair program with the following key components:
1. Property Owner Responsibility
a. Establishes that property owners adjacent to sidewalks are responsible for maintaining sidewalks in a safe condition, repairing hazardous conditions, and replacing damaged sidewalk panels when necessary.
2. Identification and Correction of Hazards
a. Addresses hazardous sidewalk conditions, including vertical displacement, cracking and deterioration, and vegetation and root intrusion. b. Authorizes the City to inspect sidewalks, issue notice to repair, and establish compliance timelines.
c. Training will be provided to the City’s Public Works Staff to assess hazardous Conditions.
3. City Hazard Abatement
a. Allows the City to respond more quickly to unsafe sidewalk conditions and helps prevent accidents, reduces exposure to claims, and supports pedestrian accessibility throughout the city.
AGENDA ITEM 10.5

CITY OF OAKDALE
City Council Staff Report (Continued)
SUBJECT: Sidewalk Maintenance, Repair, and Replacement Ordinance MEETING DATE: July 20, 2026
b. In an effort to assist the property owners when the need for repair or replacement arises, the ordinance will allow the city to grind uneven sidewalk panels and remove damaged sidewalk sections. Following such work, the property owner is required to complete full replacement within a specified timeline.
4. Encroachment Permits
a. Structured to work in coordination with the City’s encroachment regulations covered in Article VI of Chapter 30 of the Oakdale Municipal Code. b. It maintains a clear separation between responsibility and enforcement (this ordinance) and the construction and permitting (Encroachment ordinance)
5. Cost Recovery
a. If a property owner fails to complete the required repairs, the City may perform the work, recover all associated costs, and all unpaid costs may be recorded as a lien against the property or paid through the City utility bill.
6. Liability Protection
a. Clarification that property owners are responsible for maintaining sidewalks in a safe condition, liable for injuries resulting from failure to maintain sidewalks, and are required to defend and indemnify the City against related claims.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no impact on the general fund.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council introduce the Ordinance amending Chapter 30 of the Oakdale Municipal Code, adding Article VI “Sidewalk Maintenance, Repair, and Replacement.”

Reviewed by: Jerry Ramar, City Manager
Subject: Introduction and Waive the First Reading of an Ordinance Adopting Chapter 38 Smoke Shop Regulations into the Oakdale Municipal Code and Adding Article IV Tobacco Retailer License Limitation Section 24 to Chapter 16 Licenses, Related to Establishing Regulatory Oversight of Smoke Shop Businesses.
BACKGROUND
The City of Oakdale is pursuing this regulatory program in response to a noticeable increase in juvenile use of tobacco, vaping, and related products, as well as a growing number of smoke shop businesses within the community.
By limiting the total number of permitted smoke shops and strengthening oversight through inspections and enforcement, the City aims to reduce youth access, promote responsible business practices, and protect public health and safety. Additionally, many electronic vaping devices and cartridges contain hazardous materials and qualify as hazardous waste, making it important that their sale, handling, and disposal are not left unchecked by local governance. Many of the vaping devices end up in the Oakdale Police Department evidence room and accumulate due to their status as hazardous waste items.
This approach balances the interests of existing businesses with the broader community's need to prevent underage use, maintain neighborhood character, and ensure compliance with state and local laws.
DISCUSSION
This Ordinance centers on the City of Oakdale’s need to establish a clear regulatory framework for smoke shop businesses in response to their increasing presence and associated community impacts. Staff has evaluated the operational, enforcement, and administrative demands of implementing a Smoke Shop Permit Program, including application processing, inspections, and ongoing compliance monitoring.
If the ordinance is adopted, proposed permit fees shown in Attachment B will be brought forward to the City Council at a later date for consideration. The proposed fee structure is intended to support cost recovery through permit fees, the role of law enforcement and code enforcement in ensuring adherence to state and local laws, and the necessity of limiting the number of establishments over time. Additionally, the discussion emphasizes concerns related to underage access to tobacco and vaping products, as well as the environmental and public health risks associated with hazardous materials found in evaping devices and cartridges. Permit fees will help offset the costs incurred by the Oakdale Police Department for the proper handling and disposal of seized vaping devices AGENDA ITEM 10.6

There is no cost to the general fund to implement this Ordinance.

BACKGROUND
The City of Oakdale recently completed the Oakdale Fire Station #28 Building Rehabilitation Project, which included improvements to enhance the functionality and appearance of the facility. As a final phase of the project, the surrounding landscaped areas require upgrades to improve aesthetics, reduce water consumption, and support long-term maintenance objectives.
The proposed improvements include the installation of drought-tolerant landscaping and upgrades to the existing irrigation system. These enhancements will promote water conservation, improve the overall appearance of the facility, and complement the recently completed building improvements.
To complete this work, the City solicited quotes from three qualified contractors: Grover Landscaping, RP Landscaping, and Amerine Systems. All three firms submitted proposals, with RP Landscaping providing the lowest responsive quote in the amount of $37,165.
RP Landscaping currently provides landscape maintenance services at the Community Center and Senior Center and has completed landscaping improvement projects for the City. Staff recommends awarding the project to RP Landscaping in the amount of $37,165 to complete the landscaping and irrigation improvements at Oakdale Fire Station #28.
DISCUSSION
The City of Oakdale contracted with Linda Fish Landscape Architect to design the needed landscaping improvements at the Oakdale Fire Station (Attached C).
Scope of work:
The project includes the installation of drought-tolerant landscaping and a new irrigation system at the Oakdale Fire Station #28. Work will consist of removing existing landscaping as necessary, installing new plant material, irrigation piping, valves, controllers, and related appurtenances, and connecting the system to the existing water service. The irrigation system will be designed to improve water efficiency and comply with current water conservation standards. The contractor will also provide system testing, controller programming, and as-built drawings upon completion of the project.
