City Administrator Arrula introduced Senior Management Analyst Robinson who gave a brief presentation on the process for the Annual Levy of Assessment for Landscape Maintenance District 92-1 for Fiscal Year 2024-25. She noted that the district will soon face a structural deficit due to insufficient revenue to cover expenses. The assessment rate has remained the same since 1992 and has not been adjusted for inflation. She provided a historical analysis of expenditures and maintenance costs for the District and information about a failed ballot measure from 2014. She added that Staff will conduct a Study Session to present potential options to address the future deficit.
Councilmember Shader inquired if the City is currently subsidizing the costs of the District.
Senior Management Analyst Robinson explained that the City is not subsidizing costs but managing expenses by deferring maintenance in order to balance the District budget.
City Administrator Arrula stated that Staff will be meeting with Public Works Staff to analyze areas where a General Fund subsidy may be needed and return to Council with potential options.
Councilmember Shader recommended that a report be provided to Council annually detailing the expenditures, maintenance costs and deferred maintenance items prior to approving the levy and Placentia City Council/Successor Agency/ICDA/PPFA Minutes, June 18, 2024 Page 6 of 10
collection of assessments. She noted that the budget item for oil lot screening will no longer be needed new homes will be constructed adjacent to the park shortly. She also noted that the new homes in the area have helped since they are also being added to the assessment district.
Mayor Yamaguchi commented on the number of calls he receives from constituents about the decrease in service and maintenance of areas in the District. He concurred with Councilmember Shader that a detailed report would be helpful and provide more information and transparency to the public.
Mayor Pro Tem Kirwin asked about how the amount of the assessment could be increased.
Senior Management Analyst Robinson explained both the Landscape and Lighting Districts were approved in 2014 and 2018 with a set rate without a CIP escalator. Any increase to the districts would require voter approval via a ballot measure. Typically, a community outreach meeting is scheduled to educate and inform the community of the need to increase the assessment. She noted that previous ballot measures have failed because of the lack of outreach and communication to residents.
City Administrator Arrula commented that in the past, community workshops were not conducted and there was limited outreach to the community. He commented on the multiple ways that outreach could be improved in the future to educate the public.
City Clerk McKinnell stated that the City Clerk's Office had received no public comment for the Item and there were no individuals wishing to speak.

City Administrator Arrula introduced Senior Management Analyst Robinson who gave a brief presentation on the process for the Annual Levy of Assessment for Street Lighting District 81-1 for Fiscal Year 2024-
25. She explained that the process is similar to the Landscape Maintenance District and noted that the General Fund has been subsidizing the costs for a number of years. She noted that it is anticipated that the deficit and General Fund subsidy will be reduced after Edison's LED streetlight fixture upgrade.
Mayor Pro Tem Kirwin mentioned that the City's general fund is currently subsidizing about 50% of the cost within the District and asked if the assessment is increased in the future, will the City have the ability to reduce the assessment if costs will go down. The purpose of the yearly Engineer's report is to identify when adjustments are needed. He added that once Southern California Edison's LED project is completed costs are expected to go down.
Placentia City Council/Successor Agency/ICDA/PPFA Minutes, June 18, 2024 Page 7 of 10
