Budget Glossary
Transfers between fiscal years represent the carry forward of funds received in previous years to be expended in the new year and appear as revenue in the new year. Transfers between departments, funds or from one fiscal year to another must be approved by City Council.
Transfers In/Out: Payments from one fund to another fund, primarily for work or services provided.
Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT): The TOT at 10% is imposed on and paid by the hotel/motel lodgers who stay less than thirty days. The tax is collected and remitted by hotel/motel operators.
Triple Flip State: On July 1, 2004 the State began reducing the Sales Tax Allocation to Cities by .25%. The .25% reduction was used for security for the State’s “Economy Recovery Bonds”. This was replaced dollar-for-dollar by an allocation of local property tax from the County Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund (ERAF) funds paid to the Cities in two payments in January and May.
Trust and Agency Funds: Also known as Fiduciary Fund Types, these funds are used to account for assets held by the City in a trustee capacity or as an agent for private individuals, organizations, or other governmental agencies. The fiduciary funds used by the City include expendable trust and agency funds. Expendable trust funds are accounted for in the same manner as Governmental Funds (general, special revenues, debt service, and capital project funds). Agency funds are custodial in nature (assets equal liabilities) and do not measure the results of operations.
U
Urban Transportation Planning System (UTPS): Is a tool for multi -modal transportation planning developed by the Urban Mass Transportation Administration (now the Federal Transit Administration) and the Federal Highway Administration. It is use d for both long and short-range planning, particularly system analysis and covers both computerized and manual planning methods. UTPS consists of computer programs, attendant documentation, user guides and manuals that cover one or more of five analytical categories: highway network analysis, transit network analysis, demand estimation, data capture and manipulation, and sketch planning.
Utilities: Generally referring to any outside service agency, including but not limited to, public and private utilities, public transportation agencies, postal services, emergency services, city agencies, and railroads.
Utility Users Tax (UUT): A 10% tax imposed on utility (telecommunication, gas, electricity, water and video) revenue.

V
Vehicle License Fee (VLF) Backfill: In FY2004, the State dropped the Motor VLF from 2% to .67%. In FY 2004 the State backfilled the fee reduction with other State funds. In fiscal year 2005, the backfill was replaced with an allocation of local property tax from County Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund (ERAF) funds that was paid to the Cities in two payments in January and May.
W
Working Capital: Also known as financial position in private sector accounting and in enterprise fund accounting in the public sector, working capital is the excess of current assets over current liabilities. For the enterprise funds, this term is used interchangeably with "fund balance”, a comparable financial position concept in the governmental fund types.

Z
Zero Base Budget : A process emphasizing management's responsibility to plan, budget, and evaluate. Zero-base budgeting provides for analysis of alternative methods of operation and various levels of effort. It places new programs on an equal fo oting with existing programs by requiring that program priorities be ranked, thereby providing a systematic basis for allocating resources.

Information Technology 26 – KCRT Cable TV Division
FY2022-23 to FY2026-27 Capital Improvement Plan
Mission
To “Get Richmond’s Voice Heard” – throughout Richmond, throughout the East Bay, and around the world. The Cable Television Division provides for the 24 -7 operation of the City’s Cable TV station, KCRT. This serves to promote services, events, resources, an d opportunities for the City of Richmond, other regional government agencies, both national and regional non-profit organizations and Cable, and on the web through video streaming.
Overview
Using KCRT, KCOR, the City’s Traffic I nformation & Safety (TIS) AM radio station, and KCRT.com’s video streaming for the web, the Cable Television Division disseminates public information and emergency information from the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) during times of crisis or disaster.
The Cable Television Division monitors the local aspects of the State Cable Franchises, resolves cable disputes, and works with other departments on other Telecom issues that affect Richmond.
KCRT staff provides audio and video technical assistance and training for departments. This includes PowerPoint assessment and assistance, video equipment rental (video cameras, laptop, projector, and screen for display) with training and/or set up assistance. The Division also provides video production for special projects that are not originally slated for air on KCRT.
These include promotional materials and specialty video projects such as training videos for departmental use, and on-air and on-line video.
Working with the City Attorney ’s Office, the Cable Television Division assists other departments with negotiating Telecom leases to gain the best value for the City’s Right -of- Way and Property.
All funding for KCRT’s Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) comes from Cable Franchise Fees and the PEG (Public-Education-Government) Access Pass-Thru.

FY2022-23 to FY2026-27 Capital Improvement Plan
Mission
To enhance the City’s physical environment, including infrastructure, community facilities and City-owned properties, to the greatest degree possible as efficiently as possible, in order to promote economic vitality and enhance the quality of life of the citizens in Richmond.
Overview
The CIP Department undertakes the planning and design of the City’s Capital Improvement Plan and administers public and public -private par tnership projects that enhance the City’s infrastructure and overall physical environment, consistent with the policies of the General Plan.
As part of its mission, the CIP Department also manages city -owned properties and former Successor Agency properties held by the City for development. The City has over 280 miles of streets, 130 traffic signals, and 9,000 streetlights.
Design Division
A major function of Engineering is the design of public infrastructure which includes streets, bridges, parks, and p ublic buildings. Most projects include a community engagement component where the projects are designed with public participation.
Construction Division
After projects are designed, publicly bid, and constructed by private contractors, Engineering inspectors inspect the projects to ensure quality work is achieved. Staff also inspects new subdivision improvements and encroachment permits within the City’s right- of-way.
Traffic Division
The Traffic Engineering Division handles all citizen service requests, including traffic safety concerns, speed hump requests, signage and striping upgrades, and parking control. The Division is responsible for traffic signal timing and coordination at City-owned traffic signals in addition to the coordination of signal operations at state-owned traffic signals. Traffic Engineering staff also provide traffic counts to prospective business and commercial developers.

Public Works-23
FY2022-23 to FY2026-27 Capital Improvement Plan
Land Development Division
This Division reviews the design of all work within the public right -of-way and streets proposed on new residential and commercial developments. Staff ensures that land development plans conform to City standard details, specifications, policies, and practices, as well as zoning and subdivision ordinances.
Pavement Improvements
The City is continuously studying new technology to maximize limited funds and better preserve the existing pavement infrastructure.
Staff is exploring the option of using asphalt rubber as a pavement material. To add to the City’s existing array of pavement preservation applications, staff will be utilizing several different pavement preservation techniques such as more extensive crack sealing, use of fog seals and pavement rejuvenators, and applying thicker, double applications of seal coats.
In this next fiscal year we will continue to rehabilitate pavement. We will also be applying preventative maintenance seal t reatments to various streets in an effort to extend the service life of the pavement. Areas with significant ride-ability issues, such as large failed areas, potholes, and other safety concerns, will be addressed through localized spot rehabilitation. Response to customer complaints and other corrective maintenance requests will continue in order to keep streets in a safe, operable condition.
Pedestrian Access Improvements
The annual sidewalk repair and curb ramp program will continue. This program eliminates tripping hazards created by the root s of City trees uplifting the sidewalk. This program has been implemented to reduce the number of trip and fall claims against the City.
As part of the City’s Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) program, we will be preparing a Transition Plan that will outline the City’s policy of installing curb ramps throughout the City. We will continue to meet the requests for curb ramps as funding permits.
Street Light Improvements
A Citywide project to replace all existing streetlights to energy efficient Light-Emitting Diode (LED) fixtures is complete. During the same period of time, the City has added 1,800 new streetlights to a total of 9,000 streetlights in City streets. Most of the decorative fixtures such as those along Macdonald Avenue in the downtown areas were also converted to LED. The lightings of many freeway underpasses, pathways and the Richmond Greenway were improved, with new LED fixtures installed. Several wire-theft related projects have also been completed, such as Richmond Parkway, Fred Jackson Way and 23 rd street walkway. A number of City Parks have received LED fixtures upgrade, including J.F. Kennedy Park and Nichol Park tennis courts. Staff will continue to upgrade the rest of the City parks as funding allows.

FY2022-23 to FY2026-27 Capital Improvement Plan
Traffic Safety Improvements
The Traffic Sa fety Program continues to successfully mitigate traffic impacts in neighborhoods by funding the most basic traffic mitigations such as traffic control signs and roadway markings. The Department will continue having an independent speed hum p contract and also looking into the possibility of using traffic circles and bulb outs. This year, we will have an outreach component to the program and solicit from each neighborhood council their number one traffic safety concern. Based on an objective analysis, each concern will be prioritized with an appropriate solution and preliminary cost estimate and programmed into multiple future fi scal years of the CIP program
Plan Highlights
Castro Ranch Road Rehabilitation
The Castro Ranch Road Rehabilitation Project includes infrastructure improvements to Castro Ranch Road from Olinda Road to the City Limit east of County View Drive. The scope of work includes pavement surface rehabilitation along the entire roadway, traffic striping including installation of bicycle lanes from Amend Road to the City Limit east of Country View Drive. Construction of Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessible curb ramps to ensure accessibility at all intersections, improvement of a pedestrian crossing at Amend Road, installation of a new pedestrian crossing with pedestrian -activated rectangular rapid flashing beacon between Conestoga Way and Deer Run Drive, bus stop improvements, and drainage improvements.
I-80 Central Interchange Phase II
This project is a two phased effort to improve traffic congestion at the I-580/I-80/Central Avenue area.
The second phase will increase the spacing between the signalized interceptions east of I -80 by connecting Pierce Street and San Mateo Street, converting Pierce Street access at Central Avenue to “right -in, right -out” and relocating the traffic signal at Pierce Street/Central Avenue to the San Mateo Street/Central Avenue Interception.
Street Paving
This project is needed to rep air deteriorated infrastructure assets and as preventive maintenance. It will improve the roadway Pavement Condition Index (PCI) and reduce routine maintenance.

Carlson Boulevard is designated as a Key Corridor in both the Pedestrian Plan and the Bicycle Master Plan (BMP). The BMP also recommends a road diet to improve pedestrian safety.
This project includes the design and construction of bicycle lanes along Carlson Boulevard to provide a continuous bikeway from the existing bike lanes on Carlson Boulevard at San Pablo Avenue in El Cerrito north to Broadway, near Richmond Civic Center. Additionally the project includes state-of-the-art bus shelters at select locations prepped for Wi-Fi and real-time transit information. This project's conceptual design and environmental review were completed concurrently with the Bicycle Master Plan. The Project is partially funded by a Safe Routes to Transit grant awarded by the Metropolitan

Caltrans will fund and coordinate two construction projects, one performed by the railroad (BNSF) and one by the Local Agency (City of Richmond). Due to the abundance of underground utilities in the vicinity, it is not possible to install crossing arms and other typical rail crossing safety measures. Instead, a new traffic signal will provide the needed safety improvements and traffic control. Other project elements include but are not limited to: bicycle specific traffic signals, pedestrian signals and pushbuttons, “NO RIGHT TURN ON RED” active blank out signs, raised concrete medians, pedestrian curb ramps, detectable warning tiles, curb and gutter on the south edge of Wright Ave, limited repaving, and striping and signage.

Harbour Way is in both the Pedestrian Plan and the Bicycle Master Plan. It is especially important as a bike/pedestrian route because it is the only street that traverses the City in a north-south direction connecting San Pablo and North Richmond to the planned ferry service at the terminus of Harbour Way.
This project entails the design and construction of a variety of pedestrian and bicycle improvements along Harbour Way from its southerly terminus at the proposed Richmond Ferry Terminal north to Pennsylvania Avenue. The project will implement improvements proposed in several City planning documents, including the South Shoreline Connectivity Plan, Bicycle Master Plan, and the Pedestrian Plan and its Yellow Brick Road appendix. The Project is partially funded by a Transportation Development Act grant.

Central Avenue is a designated Route of Regional Significance in Contra Costa County. The four closely spaced signalized intersections along Central Avenue between Jacuzzi Street and Pierce Street lack sufficient storage capacity, resulting in poor intersection operations and heavy congestion during peak travel times, especially on weekends.
This project is the second of a two phase effort to improve traffic congestion at the I-580/I-80/Central Avenue area. Phase I includes signalization of intersections currently configured as all-way stops and the installation of variable message signs (VMS). The VMS will be configured to prohibit left turns onto westbound I-80 from Central during weekend peak periods, redirecting this traffic to eastbound I-580. This project is wholly funded by grants, including a Federal earmark and Measure J.

Net (-Gap)/+Surplus 27,854 4,513,569 0.00
General Fund Revenue Assumptions to Date
Revenue Category Assumptions
PROPERTY TAXES Assessed Value (AV) Growth based on (1) most properties increasing by State posted CPI (usually 2% max), (2) plus, for the properties that sold in 2021, the new value minus the previous value, and (3) the value of the Chevron Refinery. Staff usually assumes the Chevron refinery will stay the same - 0% AV growth for that component.
SALES & USE TAX 4% growth per the consultant; Vehicle License Fee Backfill Swap tied to AV growth, same as Secured Property Taxes.
UTILITY USERS TAX (UUT) Analysis in part provided by consultant. Growth rates applied to individual revenue streams with the UUT category - cable and Telecom historically have been going down due to industry changes. Settlement amount is set and due to go away after FY24-25. Cap amount paid by Chevron is based on Energy Services CPI for the Bay Area which through the posted rates through February is extremely high.
OTHER TAXES Each revenue stream within Other Taxes changes year-to-year based on independent influences; both garbage fees are up by 4% based on historical changes; Hotel Tax up 5% based on rebounding industry; Transfer Tax budgeted amount based on formula in Guiding Fiscal Policy that mandates we use the mean since implementation of the voter approved tiered structure; gas and electricity franchise changes stem from using same growth factor as UUT.
LICENSES, PERMITS & FEES Main item is Business Tax and are using growth factor of 2% as a conservative CPI. Still new revenue stream so we still do not know what the full year amount will be.
FINES & FORFEITURES Parking citations flat and Muni Court Fines with 1.4% growth USE OF MONEY & PROPERTY Flat - zero growth
CHARGES FOR SERVICES Most items entered by corresponding departments based on their estimated level of service and total corresponds to 4.3% growth OTHER REVENUE Very unpredictable. Usually very little budgeted here, but items get added as received.
RENTAL INCOME Rental Income is determined based on the Council approved agreements and/or fees established through the Master Fee Schedule INTERGOV STATE TAXES Motor Vehicle Fees increase based on YTD actuals in FY21-22 INTERGOV OTHER GRANT Only grants with award letters are budgeted PROCEED FROM SALE PROPERTY Pending budget, based on historic trend OPERATING TRANSFERS IN Based on Analysis of the Pension Tax Override fund, estimated AV growth, minus scheduled uses.

STATEMENT OF THE
ISSUE:

Maintenance District.
AGENDA
REPORT
June 21, 2022
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
ADOPT a resolution approving the Engineer’s Report and
ordering the levy and collection of assessments in the
Hilltop Landscape Maintenance District for the Fiscal
Year 2022-2023, providing for a three percent increase in annual assessments - Public Works Department (Joe
Leach 620-5478/Greg Hardesty 620-6920).
DISCUSSION:
The Hilltop Landscape Maintenance District is an area in north Richmond consisting of 878 parcels of land benefited by landscaping improvements and maintenance. At the direction of the City Council, the owner(s) of each parcel within the District may be assessed an annual fee proportional to the benefits conferred on that parcel. Annual assessments may be increased up to a maximum amount stated in Resolution Number 91-98, adopted in 1998 by the City Council in accordance with state law requiring notice, protest, and hearing for the levy of special assessments (commonly called “Proposition 218 requirements”).
Before levying assessments in the District, the City Council must approve a report estimating the costs of proposed improvements to be made within the District and adopt a resolution stating its intention to hold a public hearing to levy assessments. The resolution of intention must state whether the City Council intends to increase assessments from the previous fiscal year.
As directed by the City Council on January 18, 2022, the City Engineer has caused to be prepared an Annual Levy Report for the Hilltop Landscape Maintenance District for Fiscal Year 2022-2023 (“Engineer’s Report”). The Engineer’s Report generally describes existing and proposed improvements and substantial changes to be made to existing improvements within the District. The Engineer’s Report also estimates the costs of such improvements. In order to meet the costs, the Engineer recommends that the Council increase assessments from those levied in Fiscal Year 2021-2022 by an inflation rate of three percent (3%), as permitted in Resolution 91-98.
On May 3, 2022, the City Council approved the preliminary Engineer’s Report and adopted a resolution stating its intention to increase assessments and announcing that a public hearing on the proposed assessments would be held at the City Council’s regular meeting of June 21, 2022, at 6:30 p.m. The City Council’s Resolution of Intention was mailed to all property owners within the Hilltop Landscape Maintenance District.
The attached resolution approves the Engineer’s Report and orders the levy and collection of assessments in the Hilltop Landscape Maintenance District for Fiscal Year 2022-2023.

Final Engineer’s Report, FY 2022-23
Introduction
Overview
The City of Richmond’s Hilltop Landscap e Maintenance District (“Hilltop LMD” or the "District") provide maintenance and servicing of landscaping along public streets and in easements and public right of ways immediately adjacent to and within the District , including general landscaping, street trees, play lots, recreational parks, open space, trail and wetlands) The District is located in other northern portion of Richmond, and includes commercial industrial, vacant and residential parcels in the vicinity of The Shops at Hilltop (also known as the “The Hilltop Mall”) and the Richmond County Club. The maintenance and servicing of landscaping improvements are primarily associated with Hilltop Drive, Blume Drive, Hilltop Mall Road, Magazine Street, Hilltop Lake Park Open Space, Lake Drain Pumping Systems, Richmond Parkway North Open Space, San Pablo Lake Drain Pumping systems, Richmond Parkway North Open Space, San Pablo Avenue, Richmond I-80 Interchange, Industrial Park Open Space, and Atlas Drive (West).
To ensure the proper flow of funds for the ongoing operation, maintenance, and servicing of improvements that were constructed as a condition of development within various subdivisions, the City Council, through the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 (19 72 Act), formed the Hilltop Landscape Maintenance District. The 1972 Act also permits the creation of benefit zones within any individual assessment district if "by reasons or variations in the nature, location, and extent of the improvements, the various areas will receive different degrees of benefit from the improvement" (Sec. 22547). Therefore, because there are varying degrees of benefit within the various subdivisions, the City Council established three benefit zones.
The Hilltop Landscape Maintenance District was originally established in 1986 by the City Council and was reauthorized, based on the requirements of Proposition 218, on June 23, 1998 by Resolution No. 91-98.
Beginning in 2018-19, SCI Consulting Group assumed the role of Assessment Engineer for the Hilltop LMD. SCI conducted a parcel audit to confirm boundaries, parcels, rates , assessment and other attributes with the District, and made recommendations and minor adjustments. Also, SCI reviewed the previous Engineer’s Report made adjustments and improvements on approach and content, and drafted this document.

Benefit Zones Introduction
The District is divided into three distinct geographic benefit zones, referred to as Zone 1, Zone 2 and Zone 3. Each benefit zone has a separate budget pertaining to its respective improvements being maintained, but share some administrative resources for the preparation of the Engineer’s Report, Council Reports, Resolutions, etc.
Zone 1
Includes: Hilltop Mall Road and adjoining streets; Blume Drive; Auto Plaza; Richmond Parkway; Hilltop Plaza; the Summit and Bay View Apartment complex; Lakeside Drive Residential Area; and the Lakeside Drive Industrial Area. This zone includes approximately 99 parcels.
Zone 2
Includes: Richmond Parkway West Residential/Commercial Area. This zone includes approximately 1,162 parcels.
Zone 3
Includes: Atlas Road Industrial Area. This zone includes approximately 22 parcels.
Legal Analysis
Silicon Valley Taxpayers Association, Inc. v Santa Clara County Open Space Authority
In July of 2008, the California Supreme Court issued its ruling on the Silicon Valley Taxpayers Association, Inc. v. Santa Clara County Open Space Authority (“SVTA vs.
SCCOSA”). This ruling is the most significant court case in further legally clarifying the substantive assessment requirements of Proposition 218 which was approved by California voters in 1996. Several of the most important elements of the ruling included further emphasis that:
▪ Benefit assessments are for special, not general, benefit ▪ The services and/or improvements funded by assessments must be clearly defined
▪ Special benefits are directly received by and provide a direct advantage to property in the Improvement District
▪ The assessment paid by property should be proportional to the special benefits it receives from the Improvements
City of Richmond
Hilltop LMD
Final Engineer’s Report, FY 2022-23
This Engineer’s Report and the process used to establish the continuation of the assessments for fiscal year 2022-23 are consistent with the SVTA decision and with the requirements of Article XIIIC and XIIID of the California Constitution based on the following factors:
1. The District is drawn to include the entire City; although only parcels deriving special benefits are included in the assessment rolls. Thus, zones of benefit are not required and the assessment revenue derived from real property in the District is ex pended only on the Improvements in the District.
2. The Improvements which are constructed and maintained with assessment proceeds in the District are located in close proximity to the real property subject to the assessment. The Improvements pro vide landscaping and other services to the residents of such assessed property. The proximity of the Improvements to the assessed parcels provides a special benefit to the parcel being assessed pursuant to the factors outlined by the Supreme Court in that decision.
3. Due to their proximity to the assessed parcels, the Improvements financed with assessment revenues in the District benefit the properties in that District in a manner different in kind from the benefit that other parcels of real property in the City derive from such Improvements, and the benefits conferred on such property in the District are more extensive than a general increase in property values.
4. The assessments paid in the District are proportional to the special benefit that each parcel within that Assessment District receives from the Improvements because:
a. The specific landscaping Improvements and maintenance and utility costs thereof in the District are specified in this Report; and
b. Such Improvement and maintenance costs in the District are allocated among different types of property located within the District, and equally among those properties which have similar characteristics, such as single -family residential parcels, multi-family residential parcels, commercial parcels, industrial parcels, etc.
Dahms v. Downtown Pomona Property (2009) 174 Cal. App. 4 th 708 In Dahms v. Downtown Pomona Property (“Dahms”) the Court upheld an assessment that was 100% special benefit (i.e. 0% general benefit) on the rationale that the services and improvements funded by the assessments were directly provided to property in the assessment district. The Court also upheld discounts and exemptions from the assessment for certain properties.

Bonander v. Town of Tiburon (2009) 180 Cal. App. 4 th 103 Bonander v. Town of Tiburon (“Bonander”), the 1st District Court of Appeal overturned a benefit assessment approved by property owners to pay for placing overhead utility lines underground in an area of the Town of Tiburon. The Court invalidated the assessments primarily on the grounds that the assessments had been apportioned to assessed property based on the costs within sub -areas of the assessment district instead of the overall cost of the improvements and the overall proportional special benefits.
Beutz v. County of Riverside (2010) 184 Cal. App. 4 th 1516 Steven Beutz v. County of Riverside (“Beutz”) the Court overturned an assessment for park maintenance in Wildomar, California, primarily because the gen eral benefits associated with improvements and services were not explicitly calculated, quantified and separated from the special benefits.
Golden Hill Neighborhood Association v. City of San Diego (2011) 199 Cal.
App. 4 th 416
On September 22, 2011, the San Diego Court of Appeal issued a decision on the Golden Hill Neighborhood Association v. City of San Diego appeal. This decision overturned an assessment for street and landscaping maintenance in the Greater Golden Hill neighborhood of San Diego, Califo rnia. The court described two primary reasons for its decision. First, like in Beutz, the court found the general benefits associated with services were not explicitly calculated, quantified and separated from the special benefits. Second, the court found that the City had failed to record the basis for the assessment on its own parcels.
Compliance with Current Law
This Engineer’s Report is consistent with the SVTA decision and with the requirements of Article XIIIC and XIIID of the California Constitution because the Improvements to be funded are clearly defined; the benefiting property in the District enjoys close and unique proximity, access and views to the Impr ovements; the Improvements serve as an extension of usable land area for benefiting properties in the District and such special benefits provide a direct advantage to property in the District that is not enjoyed by the public at large or other property.
City of Richmond
Hilltop LMD
Final Engineer’s Report, FY 2022-23
This Engineer’s Report is consistent with Beutz, Dahms and Greater Golden Hill because the Improvements will directly benefit property in the District and the general benefits have been explicitly calculated and quantified and excluded from the Assessment s. The Engineer’s Report is consistent with Bonander because the Assessments have been apportioned based on the overall cost of the Improvements and Services proportional special benefit to each property, rather than the proportional cost to the District t o provide the Improvements to specific properties.
Impact of Recent Proposition 218 Decisions
This Engineer’s Report is consistent with the SVTA vs. SCCOSA, Dahms, Bonander – Beutz and Greater Golden Hill decisions and with the requirements of Article XI IIC and XIIID of the California Constitution based on the following factors:
1. The assessment revenue derived from real property in each assessment District within the City of Richmond is extended only on specific landscaping and other improvements and/or maintenance and servicing of those improvements in that assessment district
2. The use of various assessment districts ensures that the landscaping and other improvements constructed and maintained with assessment proceeds are located in close proximity to the real property subject to the assessment, and that such improvements provide a direct advantage to the property in the assessment district.
3. Due to their proximity to the assessed parcels, the improvements and maintenance thereof financed with assessment r evenues in each assessment district benefits the properties in that assessment district in a manner different in kind from the benefit that other parcels of real property in the City of Richmond derive from such improvements, and the benefits conferred on such property in each assessment district are more extensive and direct than a general increase in property values.
4. The assessments paid in each assessment district are proportional to the special benefit that each parcel within that assessment district receives from such improvements and the maintenance thereof because:
a. The specific landscaping and other improvements and maintenance and utility costs thereof in each assessment district and the costs thereof are specified in this Engineer’s Report; and
City of Richmond
Hilltop LMD
Final Engineer’s Report, FY 2022-23
b. Such improvement and maintenance costs in each assessment district are allocated among different types of property located within each assessment district , and equally among those properties which have similar characteristics and receive similar special benefits.
There have been a number of clarifications made to the analysis, findings and supporting text in this Report to ensure that this consistency is well communicated.

Plans & Specifications
Introduction
As required by the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, the annual Engineer's Report includes: (1) a description of the improvements to be operated, maintained and serviced, (2) an estimated budget, and (3) a listing of the proposed assessment amount for each assessable lot or parcel.
The improvements consist of the maintenance, servicing, installation, and construction of landscaping on public streets and in easements and public right o f ways immediately adjacent to and within the District. Historically, developers of t he various properties within the District have installed most of the improvements , as a condition of development approval.
Description of Improvements
The improvements consist of the construction, operation, maintenance, rehabilitation, and servicing of landscaping, and appurtenant (pertaining to something that attaches) facilities including but not limited to; personnel, utilities such as water, materials, contractual services, and other items necessary for the satisfactory operation of these services and facilities as described below, verbatim, from the existing Engineer’s Report.
1. Landscape maintenance within the right of way and medians including: watering, pruning, staking and guying, weeding, providing insect and disease control , fertilizing, repairing irrigation systems and appurtenances, and replacement of missing or dying plants and trees as budget permits in these areas:
o Street trees along both sides of Auto Plaza, Research Dr., Lakeside Dr., Shane Dr., Robert H. Miller Dr., Hillview Dr., Klose Way, Garrity Way, and Blume Dr. o Street trees along the outside edge of Hilltop Mall Road. o Street trees and landscaping in the area along the northerly side of Hilltop Dr. from the back of the curb to the adjacent property line fence. o Street trees and Landscaping in median islands in the areas along both sides of Atlas Road and Richmond Parkway from Giant Highway to I-80. o Landscaping in the Parkway Transit Center at Richmond Parkway and I-80.
City of Richmond
Hilltop LMD
Final Engineer’s Report, FY 2022-23
o Landscaping and the lake in Hilltop Lake Park and adjacent open space, including increased management of the lake involving drainage and watershed management.
2. Maintaining directional and entrance signs, as funds are available.
3. Providing at least one person with vehicle and equipment for general cleanup and litter control.
4. Eliminating graffiti from all public sound walls, retaining walls, signs, equipment cabinets and appurtenances, and other facilities within public property and rights-ofway.
5. Maintaining the public sound walls along San Pablo Ave. from Richmond Parkway to Hilltop Dr. and along the north side of Richmond Parkway from I-80 to Giant Highway.
6. Maintaining existing and future sculptures within the District.
The specific maintenance services to be performed are directed by the City of Richmond Parks & Landscaping Superintendent as Administrator for the District. T he improvements, are generally shown on the planting and irrigation plans for the Atlas Road West, Atlas Road & Blume Drive Extension, Richmond Parkway between Giant Highway and San Pab lo Avenue. The improvements in Zone 2 are generally shown on the Residential Development plans. These plans are available for inspection in the office of the City Engineer and have been incorporated into this report by reference.
The maintenance, operation, and servicing of District improvements is contingent on the availability of funding and, as directed by the City of Richmond Public Works Director and the Hilltop District Homeowners & St akeholders Association (the "Association") (www.hdhsa.com), generally includes (i) the regular scheduled maintenance, and (ii) the repair and rehabilitation, replacement of damaged equipment, as well as the repair or renovation of facilities associated with the District.
The Association is also the advisory committee established to review services in the District, in order to (i) provide the District's Administrator with input on funded Improvements, facility replacements, and rehabilitations, (ii) identify areas in the District that may need additional attention, and (iii) provide recommendations on priority of Improvements based on the available District revenues above and beyond the regular operations and maintenance budget. Importantly, Committee members are not precluded from assuming roles in a Hilltop Business Association or other similar non-profit organization, or to facilitate erection of pylon monument displays or other promotional activities that may be beneficial to the District, the City, and Hilltop business community.
Commencing in FY 2015-2016, the Association has made these requests to the City:

Final Engineer’s Report, FY 2022-23
1. Any maintenance of District Improvements, especially those Improvements that provide 100% special benefit to the propert y owners in the District, will proceed uninterrupted by changes in the City's General Fund that would cause periodic hiring freezes and budget cuts;
2. The City will (i) track any District resources (funded through t he assessment) utilized by the City for non-District purposes, and (ii) create a special budget line item to capture any repayments of assessment funds to the District;
3. The City will provide a cost breakdown, year-to-date budget, and payroll report monthly;
4. The City will create a budget for all expenses in the District, and the budget will explain specific purchases and the associated cost of such purchases.

Special Note on the Hilltop Drive sound wall (added in 2020-21) Within the Boundaries of the Hilltop LMAD, there is an existing sound wall which runs along the property line on the south side of Hilltop Drive stretching from Moyers Drive westward to Robert Miller Drive. There is a gap at Shane Drive. The portion of the sound wall between Moyers Drive and where the wall is set back between the West County Wastewater District building and residential parcel along McKenzie Drive (approx. 600’ from Robert Miller Drive) is maintained by a combined effort of private owners, the City of Richmond, and LMAD. The routine maintenance on the south side of the wall is the responsibility of the individual residential property owners. The routine maintenance on the north side of the wall has been the responsibility of the LMAD. Any catastrophic failures or issues have been the responsibility of the City of Richmond. In the future, non- routine issues will be evaluated on case-by-case basis and will be the responsibility of the appropriate party or parties.
A typical cross section for m ajor thoroughfares within the Hilltop District indicating maintenance and operation responsibilities is shown below.

Method of Assessment Apportionment
Method of Apportionment
Part 2 of Division 15 of the Streets and Highways Code, the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, permits the establishment of assessment districts by agencies for the purpose of providing certain public improvements which include the operation, maintenance and servicing of landscaping and street lighting improvements.
Section 22573 of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 requires that maintenance assessments must be levied according to benefit rather than according to assessed value.
This Section states:
"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 benefit to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements."
The determination of whether or not a lot or parcel will benefit from the improvements shall be made pursuant to the Improvement Act of 1911 (Division 7 (commencing with Section 5000)) [of the Streets and Highways Code, State of California]." Proposition 218 also requires that maintenance assessments must be levied according to benefit rather than according to assessed value. In addition, Article XIIID, Section 4(a) of the California Constitution limits the amount of any assessment to the proportional special benefit conferred on the property.
Because assessments are lev ied on the basis of benefit, they are not considered a tax, and, therefore, are not governed by Article XIIIA of the California Constitution.
The 1972 Act permits the designation of zones of benefit within any individual assessment district if "by reasons or variations in the nature, location, and extent of the improvements, the various areas will receive different degrees of benefit from the improvement" (Sec. 22547). Thus, the 1972 Act requires the levy of a true "assessment" rather than a "special tax."
Article XIIID of the California Constitution provides that publicly owned properties must be assessed unless there is clear and convincing evidence that those properties receive no special benefit from the assessment. Exempted from the assessment would be the areas of public streets, public avenues, public lanes, public roads, public drives, public courts, public alleys, public easements and rights-of-ways.
City of Richmond
Hilltop LMD
Final Engineer’s Report, FY 2022-23
Approach
The method used for apportioning the assessment is based upon the proportional special benefits conferred to the properties over and above the general benefits conferred to real property in the District or to the public at large. Special benefit and the Assessments are calculated for each parcel in the District using the following process:
1. Identification of special benefit factors derived from the Improvements
2. Quantification and Separation of the general benefits
3. Determination of the relative special benefit within different areas within the District
4. Determination of the relative special benefit per property type
5. Apportionment of the costs to Assessment and calculation of the Assessment for each individual parcel based upon special benefit; location, property type, property size, property characteristics, improvements on property and other supporting attributes.
Discussion of Benefit
Assessments can only be levied based on the special benefit to property. This special benefit is received by property over and above any general benefits. Any and all general benefit must be funded from another so urce. With reference to the requirements for assessments, Section 22573 of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 states:
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 determination of whether or not a lot or parcel will benefit from the improvements shall be made pursuant to the Improvement Act of 1911 (Division 7 (commencing with Section 5000)) [of the Streets and Highways Code, State of California].
Proposition 218, as codified in Article XIIID of the California Constitution, states that assessments must be based on the special benefit to property and that, No assessment shall be imposed on any parcel which exceeds the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel.
Since assessments are levied on the basis of special benefit, they are not a tax and are not governed by Article XIIIA of the California Constitution.
City of Richmond
Hilltop LMD
Final Engineer’s Report, FY 2022-23
The following benefit categories summarize the types of special benefit to residential, commercial, industrial and other lots and parcels resulting from the Improvements to be provided with the assessment proceeds. These types of special benefit are summarized as follows:
A. Proximity to Improved Landscaped Areas and Other Public Improvements within the District.
B. Access to Improved landscaped areas and Other Public Improvements within the District.
C. Improved Views within the District.
D. Extension of a property’s outdoor areas and green spaces for properties within close proximity to the Improvements.
E. Creation of individual lots for residential and commercial use that, in absence of the Assessments, would not have been created.
In this case, the recent SVTA v. SCCOSA decision provides enhanced clarity to the definitions of special benefits to properties from similar improvements in three distinct areas:
▪ Proximity
▪ Expanded or improved access
▪ Views
The SVTA v. SCCOSA decision also clarifies that a special benefit is a service or improvement that provides a direct advantage to a parcel and that indirect or derivative advantages resulting from the overall public benefits from a service or improvement are general benefits. The SVTA v. SCCOSA decision also provides specific guidance that park improvements are a direct advantage and special benefit to property that is proximate to a park that is improved by an assessment:
The characterization of a benefit may depend on whether the parcel receives a direct advantage from the improvement (e.g. proximity to a park) or receives an indirect, derivative advantage resulting from the overall public benefits of the improvement (e.g. general enhancement of the district’s property values).
Proximity, improved access and views, in addition to the other special benefits listed herein further strengthen the basis of these assessments.

Moreover, the Dahms decision further clarified that c ertain services and improvements funded by assessments, that are over and above what otherwise would be provided and that other property in general and the public do not share or receive are 100% special benefit. The assessment -funded services upheld by Da hms included streetscape maintenance and security services.
Special Benefit s
The special benefits from the Improvements are further detailed below:
Proximity to I mproved Landscaped Areas within the District Only the specific properties within close proxi mity to the Improvements are included in the District. The District has been narrowly drawn to include the properties that receive special benefits from the Improvements. Therefore, property in the District enjoys unique and valuable proximity and access to the Improvements that the public at large and property outside the District do not share.
In absence of the Assessments, the Improvements would not be provided and the public improvements funded in the District would be degraded due to insufficient f unding for maintenance, upkeep and repair. Therefore, the Assessments provide Improvements that are over and above what otherwise would be provided. Improvements that are over and above what otherwise would be provided do not by themselves translate into special benefits but when combined with the unique proximity and access enjoyed by parcels in the District, they provide a direct advantage and special benefit to property in the District.
Access to Improved Landscaped Areas within the District Since the parcels in the District are nearly the only parcels that enjoy close access to the Improvements, they directly benefit from the unique close access to improved landscaping areas and other public improvements that are provided by the Assessments.
This is a direct advantage and special benefit to property in the District.

Improved Views within the Assessment Districts
The City, by maintaining permanent public improvements funded by the Assessments in the District, provides improved views to properties in the District. The properties in the District enjoy close and unique proximity, access and views of the specific Improvements funded in the District ; therefore, the improved and protected views provided by the Assessments are another direct and tangible advantage that is uniquely conferred upon property in the District.
Extension of a Property’s Outdoor Areas and Green Spaces for Properties within Close Proximity to the Improvements
In large part because it is cost prohibitive to provide large open land areas on property in the District, the residential, commercial and other benefiting properties in the District do not have large outdoor areas and green spaces. The Improvements within the District provide additional outdoor areas that serve as an effective extension of the land area for proximate properties because the Improvements are uniquely proximate and accessible to property in close proximity to the Improvements. The Improvemen ts, therefore, provide an important, valuable and desirable extension of usable land area for the direct advantage and special benefit of properties in the District because such properties have uniquely good and close proximity to the Improvements.
Creatio n of I ndividual Lots for Residential and Commercial Use that, in Absence of the As sessments, Would Not Have Been C reated In most of the District, the original owner/developer(s) of the property within the District agreed unanimously to the Assessments. The Assessments provide the necessary funding for public improvements that were required as a condition of development and subdivision approval. Therefore, such Assessments allowed the original property to be subdivided and for development of the parcels to occur. As parcels were sold, new owners were informed of the Assessments through the title reports, and in some cases, through Department of Real Estate “White Paper” reports that the parcels were subject to assessment. Purchase of proper ty was also an “agreement” to pay the Assessment.
Therefore, in absence of the Assessments, the lots within most of the District would not have been created. These parcels, and the improvements that were constructed on the parcels, receive direct advantage and special benefit from the Assessments.

Quantification and Separation of General Benefit s
Article XIIID, Section 4(a) of the California Constitution requires any local agency proposing to increase or impose a benefit assessment to “separate the gener al benefits from the special benefits conferred on a parcel.” The rationale for separating special and general benefits is to ensure that property owners subject to the benefit assessment are not paying for general benefits. Property may be assessed to fun d improvements to the extent of the special benefits conferred by the Improvements; but general benefits are not assessable. Accordingly, a separate estimate of the special and general benefit is given in this section.
Article XIIID never defines the term “general benefit.” The definition of special benefit in Section 2(i) includes the statement that general enhancement of property value does not constitute special benefit. SVTA expands somewhat on this idea by stating that general benefit may be describe d as “an indirect, derivative advantage” resulting from the improvements. One infers from Article XIIID that all benefit is either general or special.
In other words, there is no widely -accepted or statutory formula for quantifying the amount of any general benefit that is identified.
In this Report, SCI has reviewed and confirmed the reasonableness of the existing approach and calculations for general benefit, which is described, verbatim, below:
Proposition 218 critically notes that "an agency shall se parate the general benefits from the special benefits conferred..."
While it has been determined that (i) various District Improvements are clearly local amenities directly associated with the development of the properties within the District and (ii) these Improvements are more extensive and are provided at an enhanced level of service that is notably higher than that typically provided by the City, it is also recognized that some of the Improvements do benefit the traveling public and would likely have minimal impact on the commercial and residential areas in the District (i.e. provide a general benefit). As a result, the cost to maintain these specific Improvements has been offset by a City contribution. Importantly, the following is a discussio n of general benefit related to District Improvements that was developed and approved at the time the District was formed.
Zone 1,Hilltop Drive,I-80 Interchange to San Pablo Avenue:
Property located outside the District, that fronts the south side of Hillt op Drive directly benefits from the improvement as well as the "drive through" traffic. As a result, 33% of the estimated cost to maintain the south frontage is deemed to be general benefit and is therefore not assessed on property in the District.
