Apportionment of Special Taxes which details the manner in which special taxes may be levied on property to be included within CFD 2022-1.
A future annexation area allows future developments to annex to CFD 2022-1 by unanimous written consent of the property owner.
DISCUSSION
Resolution of Intention
This action relates to the ROI, which formally states the City’s intent to form CFD 2022-1. The ROI does not actually form CFD 2022-1 or authorize the levy of the special taxes; rather, the ROI initiates the CFD 2022-1 formation proceedings. The ROI preliminarily approves the boundary map, including a future annexation area, for the proposed CFD 2022-1, which is attached hereto as Attachment B, and is on file with the City Clerk. The ROI includes the following information, as required by statute:
(a) declares the intention to establish CFD 2022-1;
(b) preliminarily adopts the boundary map, including a future annexation area, for CFD 2022-1;
(c) states that the full name of CFD 2022-1 shall be “City of Palmdale Community Facilities District No. 2022-1 (Citywide Maintenance and Services).” (d) describes the services to be funded;
(e) states that, except where funds are otherwise available, a special tax sufficient to pay for all services, secured by recordation of a continuing lien against all nonexempt real property in the district, will be annually levied within the area, and specifies the rate and method of apportioning the special tax, subject to landowner voter approval; (f) fixes a time and place for a public hearing on the establishment of the CFD, which is proposed to be July 6, 2022, at 7:00 pm;
(g) describes the proposed voting procedure; and
(h) describes possible future annexations to CFD 2022-1 by unanimous written consent of property owners in the future annexation area.
Rate and Method of Apportionment of Special Taxes
The ROI includes a description of the rate and method of apportioning the special tax.
The City has been working with its special tax consultant to prepare a Rate and Method of Apportionment of Special Taxes (the “RMA”) setting forth a methodology for CFD 2022-1’s proposed special tax. The RMA is attached to the ROI as Exhibit “B” thereto.
Pursuant to the RMA, the proposed special tax is to be levied on all taxable, non- exempt property within the boundaries of CFD 2022-1. Specifically, the RMA includes proposed special taxes for various land use categories as follows:

MAXIMUM SPECIAL TAX RATES
FISCAL YEAR 2022/23*
*On each July 1, commencing on July 1, 2023, the Maximum Special Tax Rate shall be increased by the Tax Escalation Factor as defined in the RMA.
The special taxes set forth in the table above are proposed to be levied only on property within the boundaries of CFD 2022-1. The RMA includes additional details on inflationary increases for special taxes, procedures for appeals, exemptions, and other relevant information.
Next Steps
Adopting the ROI is the first formal step in forming CFD 2022-1. This action only declares the intention to form CFD 2022-1, but additional steps will be required to form CFD 2022-1 and authorize the levy of the special taxes.
At the July 6, 2022 meeting, the City will hold a public hearing and provide an opportunity for public testimony on the formation of CFD 2022-1 and the designation of a future annexation area. Notice of the hearing must be published at least one week prior to the date of that hearing. At the hearing, if oral or written protests are filed by 50% or more of the registered voters within CFD 2022-1 or the owners of more than 50% of the property within the proposed CFD 2022-1, the City must terminate proceedings. If not, the City will adopt a resolution forming CFD 2022-1, and adopt a resolution calling a special election and the City will designate the Future Annexation Area where property owners will be permitted to join the CFD by unanimous written consent.
The election will then be held and canvassed, with the owner of the land to be initially included in CFD 2022-1 having one vote per acre or portion of an acre of land to be included. If two-thirds of the votes cast are in favor of imposing the special tax, the City Council will then be requested to adopt an ordinance levying the special tax and the City can then begin to levy the special tax annually on the County ad valorem property tax bills for the property included in CFD 2022-1.

FISCAL IMPACT
The initial Maximum Special Taxes expected to be collected by CFD 2022-1 for Fiscal Year 2022-23 is $19,248.06. The cost for the CFD formation is $30,000 and will be compensated from funds advanced by the proponents of developments annexing into CFD 2022-1 in the future. The City Council is being asked to approve an additional $30,000 from the unappropriated fund balances within the Landscape and Streetlight Maintenance Districts, not attributable to any existing assessment districts, to facilitate the costs of the initial formation.
STRATEGIC PLAN
Goal III: Invest in infrastructure to improve community livability.

If the property owner disagrees with the CFD Administrator’s decision relative to the appeal, the owner may then file a written appeal with the City Council whose subsequent decision shall be final and binding on all interested parties. If the decision of the CFD Administrator or subsequent decision by the City Council requires the Special Tax to be modified or changed in favor of the property owner, the CFD Administrator shall determine if sufficient Special Tax revenue is available to make a cash refund. If a cash refund cannot be made, then an adjustment shall be made to credit future Special Taxes.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
Notice is hereby given that on June 1, 2022, the City Council of the City of Palmdale adopted a Resolution entitled “A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Palmdale Declaring Its Intention to Establish a Community Facilities District and to Authorize the Levy of Special Taxes Therein – Citywide Maintenance and Services” (the “Resolution of Intention”). Pursuant to the Resolution of Intention and Section 53311 and following of the California Government Code (the “Code”), notice is hereby given that the City Council will conduct a public hearing on Wednesday, July 6, 2022 at 7:00 p.m. or as soon thereafter as practicable, in the City Council Chambers located in City Hall, 38300 Sierra Highway, Suite B, Palmdale, California, to consider the following:
INTENT TO FORM
CITY OF PALMDALE
COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT NO 2022-1
(CITYWIDE MAINTENANCE AND SERVICES)
In the Resolution of Intention, the City Council declared its intention to form the City of Palmdale Community Facilities District No. 2022-1 (Citywide Maintenance and Services) to finance certain maintenance and services, as identified in Exhibit A to the Resolution of Intention (the “Services”). The proposed boundaries of the community facilities district were identified, and the Resolution of Intention identified a proposed special tax to be levied on real property to be included in the community facilities district to pay for costs of the Services and related administrative costs.
In the Resolution of Intention, the City Council provided that the levy of the special tax will be subject to a mailed ballot election among the landowners in the community facilities district. The City Council ordered the Director of Public Works to prepare a report on the community facilities district, and the City Council called for a public hearing on the community facilities district.
At the hearing, the testimony of all interested persons or taxpayers for or against the establishment of the community facilities district, the extent of the community facilities district or the furnishing of specified types of Services will be heard. Any person interested may file a protest in writing with the City Clerk. If fifty percent or more of the registered voters, or six registered voters, whichever is more, residing in the territory proposed to be included in the community facilities district, or the owners of one-half or more of the area of land in the territory proposed to be included in the community facilities district and not exempt from the special tax file written protests against the establishment of the community facilities district and the protests are not withdrawn to reduce the value of the protests to less than a majority, the City Council will take no further action to establish the community facilities district or authorize the special taxes for a period of one year from the date of the decision of the City Council, and if the majority protests of the registered C-2
voters or the landowners are only against the furnishing of a type or types of Services, or against levying a specified special tax, those types of Services, or the specified special tax, will be eliminated from the proceedings to form the community facilities district.
In the Resolution of Intention, the City Council also determined that certain territory identified on a map of the community facilities district as a Future Annexation Area may be annexed in part from time to time to the community facilities district in the future, with the unanimous approval of the owner or owners of any particular portion of the annexation area to be annexed. The public hearing required under the Code relative to such annexation area will be combined with the public hearing described above. At the public hearing, the testimony of all interested persons for or against the future annexation of territory to the community facilities district or the levying of special taxes within the territory proposed to be annexed in the future will be heard.
Any person interested in these matters is invited to attend and present testimony either for or against the above item. If you challenge the proposed action in court, you may be limited to raising only those issues you or someone else raised at the public hearing described in this notice or in written correspondence delivered to the City Clerk at or prior to the public hearing.

DISTRICT: ALL
SUBJECT: ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. CC 2022-054, A RESOLUTION OF THE
CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALMDALE TO ADOPT A LIST OF PROJECTS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2022-2023 FUNDED BY SB 1: THE
ROAD REPAIR AND ACCOUNTABILITY ACT OF 2017
ISSUE
Adopt Resolution No. CC 2022-054, a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Palmdale to adopt a list of projects for Fiscal Year 2022-2023 to be funded by SB 1: The Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. CC 2022-054 to adopt a list of projects for Fiscal Year 2022-2023 to be funded by SB 1: The Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017.
BACKGROUND
On April 28, 2017, the Governor signed Senate Bill (SB) 1 (Beall, Chapter 5, Statutes of 2017), which is known as the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017. To address basic road maintenance, rehabilitation and critical safety needs on both the state highway and local streets and road system, SB 1, increases per gallon fuel excise taxes; increases diesel fuel sales taxes and vehicle registration fees; and provides for inflationary adjustments to tax rates in future years.
Beginning November 1, 2017, the State Controll er (Controller) began depositing various portions of this new funding into the newly created Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA). A percentage of this new RMRA funding will be apportioned by formula to eligible cities and counties pursuant to Streets and Highway Code (SHC) Section 2032(h) for basic road maintenance, rehabilitation, and critical safety projects on the local streets and roads system.
SB 1 emphasizes the importance of accountability and transparency in the delivery of the California’s transportation programs. Therefore, in order to be eligible for RMRA funding, Report to Mayor and City Council
Re: Adoption of Resolution No. CC 2022-054
June 1, 2022
the statutes require cities and counties to provide basic RMRA project reporting to the California Transportation Commission (Commission).
DISCUSSION
Prior to receiving an apportionment of RMRA funds from the Controller in a fiscal year, a city or county must submit to the Commission a list of projects proposed to be funded with these funds. All projects proposed to receive funding must be included in a city or county budget that is adopted by the applicable city council or county board of supervisors at a regular public meeting [SHC 2032(a)(1)].
In accordance with the above requirement, for FY 2022-2023, the allocated amount of $3,557,654 will be budgeted in the City’s CIP Project budget and will be used for the project listed below:
35th Street East (Avenue R to Avenue S) – prepare structural analysis of pavement section to determine appropriate resurfacing treatment; prepare full design plans and specification and construct.
10th Street West (600’ s/o Rancho Vista Blvd to Elizabeth Lake Road) - prepare structural analysis of pavement section to determine appropriate resurfacing treatment; prepare full design plans and specification and construct. Avenue R Resurfacing (Sierra Hwy to Tierra Subida) - prepare structural analysis of pavement section to determine appropriate resurfacing treatment; prepare full design plans and specification and construct.
FISCAL IMPACT
Since the inception of the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Funds (RMRA), the City has received $9,456,132. The allocated amount for FY 2022-2023 of $3,557,654 will be budgeted in Account S0025210. These funds have been used for local streets and roads for basic road maintenance and road rehabilitation projects, safety projects, traffic control devices and complete street components. Once the project is established and meets the criteria, a project code will be assigned along with the appropriate funding.

The Engineering Division received an application from the City’s Capital Improvement Management Division requesting actions be taken to vacate a segment of 6 th Street East (100 Feet South of Sierra Highway to 220 Feet North of Avenue P-14). This request is in conjunction with the Electric Vehicle Charging Station project for the Palmdale Transportation Center.

June 1, 2022
DISCUSSION
The Palmdale Transportation Center (PTC) multi-modal facility, located at 39000 Clock Tower Plaza Drive, was open to the public in April 2005. The project required acquisition of several properties and the dedication of new public streets to service this project. It was the City’s intention to vacate portions of the underlying public street of 6th Street East in conjunction with the PTC development. A tentative parcel map was filed with the County, however was not recorded. This vacation process presented to Council will remove the public street designation of said segment of 6 th Street East, while the existing roadway network for the PTC will remain in place and continue to serve the public.
Notices were sent out to all known utility providers informing them of the proposed street vacation. Several of the utilities responded that they had facilities in the area of the proposed vacation and requested a reservation of easement. However, no objections to the proposed vacation were received.
Pursuant to the Streets and Highways Code section 8320, the local agency (City) processing the street vacation under the General Vacation Procedure shall be required to initiate the proceedings by setting a date, hour, and place for a public hearing. This action will be followed by the posting of notices and publishing the vacation information in the local newspaper in accordance with sections 8322 of the Street and Highways Code.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact to the City as a result of this action.

SUBJECT: APPROVE COST-SHARING AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF
PALMDALE AND THE ANTELOPE VALLEY MALL, LLC/CBRE AND
HARRIS AVM, LLC FOR A REIMBURSEMENT AMOUNT OF
$120,000 FOR THE THREE (3) YEAR TERM OF THE AGREEMENT
ISSUE
Approve Cost-Sharing Agreement No. A -7941 between the City of Palmdale and the Antelope Valley Mall, LLC/CBRE and Harris AVM, LLC for a reimbursement amount of $120,000 for the three (3) year term of the agreement.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council:
1. Approve agreement No. A -7941, Cost Sharing Agreement between the City of Palmdale and the Antelope Valley Mall, LLC/CBRE and Harris AVM, LLC for Deputy Services.
2. Authorize the Interim City Manager to execute the agreement and all necessary documents.
BACKGROUND
Since 1995, the City ofPalmdale and the Antelope Valley Mall have participated in a cost- sharing agreement to share the cost of deputies deployed at the Mall. Deputies assigned under this agreement address Mall property related issues and relieve the Palmdale Station from deploying Patrol Deputies to the Mall for service calls. The City currently has one 40-hour non-relief deputy assigned to the Mall and surrounding retail establishments.
The Mall agrees to reimburse the City $38,000 for year one (1) 2022 -2023, $40,000 for year two (2) 2023 -2024 and $42,000 for year three (3) 2024-2025 towards the costs for the term of this three (3) year agreement with the option to extend for two (2 ) additional one (1) year terms at a n increase of $2,000 for each additional year , for a total of $210,000.
Report to Mayor and City Council
Re: Agreement No. A-7941, Cost-Sharing Agreement for Deputy Services June 1, 2022
DISCUSSION
Having a deputy assigned to the Antelope Valley Mall has proven to be a great resource for the mall, the City, and the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. Dedicated deputy personnel not only deter crime but also alleviates the need for routine patrol staff to respond, which would increase response times to the community for non-mall related crimes.
FISCAL IMPACT
Reimbursement of $38,000 for year one (1) 2022-2023, $40,000 for year two (2) 2023- 2024 and $42,000 for year three (3) 2024-2025 for the term of the agreement for mall property related calls for service. And, if options exercised $44,000 for year four (4) 2025- 2026 and $46,000 for year five (5) 2026-2027 for a total of $210,000. Reimbursement of funds will be accounted for in account 1012500-492201.
STRATEGIC PLAN
Goal I: Maintain effective public safety and protection for life, property and the environment.
A. Provide comprehensive and innovative safety services to prevent crime and promote a safe community.

City Council Staff Report
DATE: JUNE 1, 2022
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES DEPARTMENT
HOUSING DIVISION
DISTRICT: ALL
SUBJECT: PUBLIC HEARING TO HEAR PUBLIC COMMENTS AND REVIEW PROPOSAL TO AMEND THE 2019 -2020 ACTION PLAN TO
REPROGRAM COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT
COVID (CDBG -CV) FUNDS IN THE AMOUNT OF $207,510 FROM
THE ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY PROGRAM CV AND $23,990
FROM THE MORTGAGE ASSISTANCE CDBG CV TO SAVES CV IN
THE AMOUNT OF $231,500
ISSUE
Public Hearing to hear public comments and review proposal to amend the 2019 -2020 Action Plan; Review and approve the amendment to the 2019 -2020 Action Plan; and Authorize the City Manager or their designee to execute documents necessary to amend said Action Plan and obtain HUD approval, and agreements for Sub-Recipients.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council:
1. Open a public hearing to receive public comments on the proposal to amend the 2019-2020 Action Plan for the CDBG -CV reallocating from the Economic Opportunities Programs CV and Mortgage Assistance Program CV to SAVES CV; and
2. Direct staff to incorporate thepublic comments into the amended 2019-2020 Action Plan;
3. Authorize the City Manager or their designee to make necessary changes and submit the amendment to HUD, execute documents related to amend the Action Plan and agreements for Sub-Recipients.
BACKGROUND
The City received special allocations of funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, enacted on March 27, 2020, to be used to exclusively on eligible activities that prevent and respond to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Report to Mayor and City Council
Re: Public Hearing to Reprogram CDBG CV
June 1, 2022
Funding was allocated to eligible activities including South Antelope Valley Emergency Services, Business Public Service, Economic Opportunity Programs, Mortgage Assistance and Administration of the grant funding.
DISCUSSION
South Antelope Valley Emergency Services (SAVES) has continued to provide increased services to the community since the COVID emergency was initiated. Currently SAVES is providing 1,000 to 1,800 food orders weekly. These numbers are anticipated to increase during the summer months. Due to the high level of service being provided by SAVES for a period of time longer than anticipated when funding was initially provided, SAVES is requesting an increase of funding of $231,500 from $367,500 to $599,000.
The City assisted 11 low- and moderate-income microenterprise businesses with the Economic Opportunity Program CV and 40 low- and moderate-income households with Mortgage Assistance. The Economic Opportunity Program CV ended due to the difficulty that local businesses had to meet all of the qualifying criteria needed to satisfy CDBG fund requirements. In addition, local businesses preferred to apply for other business grant and loan programs that had fewer restrictions and provided much more flexibility on how the funds could be used by the business. The Mortgage Assistance CDBG CV Program will continue working with households on the program waiting list.
Reprogramming of funds to SAVES is proposed from the Economic Opportunity Program CV and Mortgage Assistance Program CDBG CV, as outlined in the Fiscal Impact Section of this staff report.
In compliance with the City’s approved Citizen Participation Plan and Implementing Regulation 24 CFR 91.105, a Public Notice was published in the Antelope Valley Press on May 26, 2022, to inform residents of the reprogramming of CDBG CV funds in the 2019-2020 Action Plan for review and comments. Citizens were advised that copies of the aforementioned documents were available for review on the City’s website from May 26, 2022, to June 1, 2022, an d the documents would be available in hardcopy format at the Neighborhood Services Department office, the Palmdale Public Library, and the Administration Building.
The public notice invited citizens to provide written comments to the Housing staff at the Department of Neighborhood Services, 38250 Sierra Highway, Palmdale, CA 93550 or via email to [email protected] before 5:00 p.m. on June 1, 2022, and also during the public hearing on June 1, 2022 beginning at 7:00 p.m. at the City Council meeting in Council Chambers located at 38300 Sierra Highway, Suite B, Palmdale, CA 93550.

Report to Mayor and City Council
Re: Adopt Resolutions Initiating the November 8, 2022 Election June 1, 2022
BACKGROUND
The City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1471, transitioning from at-large to by-district city councilmember elections on July 1, 2015, under Elections Code § 10010. Under the provisions of the City of Palmdale Charter, a General Municipal Election shall be held on November 8, 2022, for the purpose of electing three (3) Councilmembers elected by three (3) geographic districts established as Districts 3, 4 and 5. Councilmembers in Districts 3, 4 and 5 shall serve a full four (4) year term.
DISCUSSION
On April 6, 2022, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1579, ensuring Palmdale’s elections complied with the California Voting Rights Act, which states “an at-large method of election may not be imposed or applied in a manner that impairs the ability of a protected class to elect candidates of its choice or its ability to influence the outcome of an election, as a result of a dilution or the abridgment of the rights of voters who are members of a protected class...” As a result, the City Council abolished the mayor-at- large position and at the end of the elected Mayor’s term, the position would be filled by one of the Councilmembers and rotated on an annual basis.
Ordinance No. 1579 also implemented a new district boundary map, resulting from the redistricting process, defining Palmdale’s City Council district boundaries for the next ten (10) years. The ordinance amended Section 2.08.020 of the Palmdale Municipal Code transitioning from four (4) geographic districts to five (5) geographic districts in which each Councilmember shall reside by a vote of the electors in each respective district.
During this election year, terms for District 3 represented by Laura Bettencourt and District 4 represented by Juan Carrillo are set to expire. As a result of the redistricting process, an additional City Council seat representing newly formulated District 5 is also open for a full four-year term.
To initiate the election process, the City Council must adopt three (3) resolutions as follows:
Resolution No. CC 2022-056 activates the election process, including requirements related to the administration of the election. Resolution No. CC 2022-057 establishes regulations for candidates for elective office pertaining to candidate statements to be submitted to the voters. Each candidate for elective office to be voted for at the election may prepare a candidate’s statement on an appropriate form provided by the City Clerk. The nomination filing period is July 18, 2022, through August 12, 2022. The City Clerk shall provide each candidate or the candidate’s representative a copy of this Resolution at the time the nomination papers are issued. Section 13307 of the Elections Code of the State of California provides that the governing body of any local agency shall adopt regulations pertaining to materials prepared by any Report to Mayor and City Council
Re: Adopt Resolutions Initiating the November 8, 2022 Election June 1, 2022
candidate for a municipal election, including the payment of costs of the candidate statements.
Resolution No. CC 2022-058 will consolidate the City of Palmdale’s General Municipal Election with the Statewide General Election to be held in the County of Los Angeles on the same day. It would also authorize the County of Los Angeles Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk to render election services. The City Clerk is authorized and directed to coordinate with the County of Los Angeles Registrar- Recorder/County Clerk to procure and furnish all official ballots, notices, printed matter and all supplies, equipment and paraphernalia that may be necessary to conduct the election properly and lawfully. The ballots to be used at the election shall be in form and content as required by law. The vote centers for the election shall be open as required during the identified voting period pursuant to California Elections Code Sections 4007 and 14401.
The City Clerk is the City’s election official and filing officer for candidate nomination papers and campaign finance disclosure forms. In addition, the City Clerk will qualify all candidates, receive, and review candidate statements, and receive other related ballot materials which are to be printed and included in the Official Sample Ballot Booklet, and perform all other duties as required by law.
The City Council authorizes the City Clerk to administer said election and all reasonable and actual election expenses shall be paid by the City upon presentation of a properly submitted bill by the County.
