City Council is to consider approval of a resolution (Attachment A) authorizing the levy and collection of assessments for each affected parcel within LMD 19-1 for Fiscal Year (FY) 2024-25. FY 2024-25 assessment rate is proposed to increase from FY 2023-24's assessment rate by 3 percent to $953.54 per benefit unit per year, based on a voter-approved inflater cap on the annual change in the San Diego-Carlsbad Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI). Landscape maintenance service level will remain at level A and may be subject to adjustments depending on frequency and magnitude of unplanned events. Recommended Action: It is recommended City Council take public input, close the public hearing and adopt the Resolution. Discussion: LMD 19-1 was formed on May 21, 2019, after a ballot measure was proposed and passed, to reorganize LMD 87-1 by detaching 327 commercial properties and forming a new landscape maintenance district (LMD 19-1 ). Existing residential development areas within LMD 87-1 remained as LMD 87-1. A map showing LMD 19-1 's boundaries is included as Attachment B. LMD 19-1 includes the following non-residential (commercial) developments: TRACT PROJECT NAME TTM 85-04 Pomerado Business Park I and II TTM 86-02R Tech Business Center TTM 87-13 Parkway Business Center I and II TTM 88-04R Trident Center TTM 98-05 Parkway Business Center Ill 1 of 6

LMD 19-1 includes a voter-approved inflater which helps revenues keep pace with inflation. Annual assessment rate increases are capped at 3 percent of the annual change in CPI. Because projected expenditures are exceeding revenues, an i_ncrease of 3 percent is requested at this time. Landscape maintenance service level will remain at level A. Service level A consists of performing landscape maintenance (e.g., irrigation inspection, removal of trash and debris, trimming of shrubs, fertilizing, mowing, edging, pruning, and sweeping) for respective areas within LMD 19-1 on a weekly basis. City Council's approved FY 2024-25 Engineer's Report is on file in the Office of the City Clerk, 13325 Civic Center Drive and the Department of Public Works, 14467 Lake Poway Road, Poway, California. Environmental Review: This action is not subject to review under California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Fiscal Impact: LMD 19-1 includes a voter-approved inflater which helps revenues keep pace with inflation. The assessment rate for FY 2024-25 is capped at 3 percent or the annual change in the CPI, whichever is less. FY 2024-25 LMD 19-1 assessment rate will increase from FY 2023-24's rate of $925.77 to $953.54 per benefit unit per year. Revenue for LMD 19-1 is comprised of $833,763 from assessments, $9,920 in estimated interest earnings, $3,266 in miscellaneous revenue and $220,225 in General Fund contributions. Estimated revenues and the planned use of operating reserves are sufficient to cover planned service levels. Service levels may be subject to adjustments depending on frequency and magnitude of unplanned events.

Pursuant to Government Section 53753, all public notification requirements have been met. No responses have been received regarding proposed assessments at the time this report was written.
