Ripon City Council Meeting Notice & Agenda
CITY HALL, 259 NORTH WILMA, RIPON, CALIFORNIA
TUESDAY, JUNE 13, 2023 – 6:00 PM

REGULAR MEETING
You are now participating in the process of representative government. We welcome your interest and hope you will attend Ripon City Council meetings often. Democracy cannot endure without an informed electorate.

Ripon, as you probably know, has a council-administrator form of local government. Policies are set by the Council, who are elected by the people. These policies are carried out by the City Administrator, who is appointed by the Council. The Council decides what is to be done. The City Administrator, with the assistance of the City Staff, follows through.

REGULAR COUNCIL MEETINGS
The governing body meets at 6:00 P.M., on the second Tuesday of the month, in the Council Chambers located in City Hall, 259 North Wilma, Ripon, California. A City Council meeting is the process of making and amending laws, developing policy and making decisions for governing your City by citizens who have been elected by you. With the exception of matters of personnel and pending litigation, or negotiations, the City Council takes action only in meetings open to the public.

The City Council follows a regular order of business during its meeting. The Council agenda is prepared in advance by the City Administrator and his staff. If you wish to place an item on the agenda for action, the information must be delivered to the City Administrator or staff eight (8) working days prior to the Council meeting. This date will be revised in case of holidays or special events. The information must be in writing (no phone calls), your name and address must be printed, and action desired must be clearly stated. Copies of the agenda are available at Ripon City Hall and online 72 hours prior to the meeting, or at the time of the scheduled meeting.

With the publication of this agenda, it is with the intent that each item on the agenda will be considered for a vote. Each Council Member present will cast a vote either for or against the motion under consideration, and the vote will be recorded in the minutes of the meeting. For example, the motion may be to approve, adopt, introduce, deny, fail, withdraw, table, or continue an item.

PUBLIC DISCUSSION
If you desire to speak before the Council on an item not on the agenda, please address "Mr. Mayor" and upon being recognized, come forward to the podium, and state your name and address before proceeding into your subject matter.

State law prohibits the City Council from taking action on any item not on the agenda. While the City Council cannot always answer citizens concerns raised during the public discussion time, the City staff will be instructed, where appropriate, to either provide a response in the days following each Council meeting, or to place the issue on a subsequent meeting agenda for the City Council or one of its appointed commissions. No person shall speak for more than three minutes, and the total time allotted for discussion shall not exceed thirty minutes. Persons attending the meeting shall observe rules of propriety, decorum, and good conduct, and refrain from impertinent or slanderous remarks. If you wish to make a comment via email please submit the Public Comment Form by 4:00 p.m. on the day of the meeting to the City Clerk at [email protected] and note the specific agenda item, if applicable. Comments are limited to 250 words or less and will be read by the City Clerk.

In Compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, if you need special assistance to participate in this meeting, please call (209) 599-2108. Notification 48 hours prior to the meeting will enable the City to make reasonable arrangements to ensure accessibility to this meeting (28 CFR 35.102-35.104 ADA Title II). For more information visit www.cityofripon.org/ADA.

CONSENT CALENDAR
Routine items are scheduled under the heading of Consent Calendar, which allows action to occur with a single motion.

Any item can be pulled off the consent calendar for further discussion if Council so desires. The public may also, at this time, request that an item be pulled from the consent calendar for explanation and/or discussion.

PERSONNEL/EXECUTIVE SESSION
Matters of personnel and pending litigation, or negotiations are handled, in the Personnel/Executive Session, pursuant to Sections 54956.8 and 54957 of the Government Code. This session is closed to the public.

2. DISCUSSION ITEMS
A. 122 N. ELM AVENUE TOWNHOUSE PROJECT
Discussion/Action Staff to present the conceptual townhouse project proposed at 122 N. Elm Avenue
and receive direction from the City
Council.

Planning Director Zuidervaart said the City contracted with an architect to design a property by the library. He said staff has been considering viable uses for the property and one idea was to build low-income housing. Zuidervaart described the project as three 1,600 square foot, three bedroom, two bathroom residences with single car garages. He said staff is looking for direction from Council about whether or not to proceed with the project. Zuidervaart summarized some of the site improvements that would need to be made including subdividing the property and improving the alley behind the lot.

Mayor Restuccia asked if the proposed residences would be townhouses or condominiums. Zuidervaart said they would have a common area that would need to be maintained and if possible, the City will develop them as townhouses. He said the goal is to sell them, not rent them.

Restuccia asked if staff is looking for conceptual input or more detailed input regarding building materials. Zuidervaart said details regarding building materials would come later and at this time, staff is looking for Council to give direction to continue with the project.

Vice Mayor Zuber said he thinks the project fits and if the City has the money, he thinks this is a good project.

Council Member Barton asked for more site improvement details and whether there would be any landscaping. Zuidervaart said the 22-foot alley would be redone in pavers, sidewalks would be installed in front of the units and the overhead utility lines would be undergrounded. He said there would be landscaping including trees.

Restuccia asked if staff has considered redoing the library parking lot at the same time as the alley. Public Works Director Pease said he believes that project is on the next roadway project list.

Council provided direction to staff to continue moving forward with the project at 122 N.

Elm Avenue.

2. TOPICS OF DISCUSSION
2023-2024 BUDGET
Discussion/No Action Staff to present the Fiscal Year 2023-2024 Operating and Capital Budget.

City Administrator Werner presented the Fiscal Year 2023-2024 Operating and Capital Budget starting with a Fiscal Year 2022-2023 financial update. Werner said FY 22-23 revenue was 15.4% ($1,800,000) higher than budgeted, expenses were 6% ($715,000) higher than budgeted and he said he is projecting a General Fund surplus of $1.5 million before transfers.

Werner reviewed the overall City budget including staffing, retirement and healthcare.

Werner said the FY23-24 budget includes adding one full time Community Service Officer, one full time Dispatcher and two part time Recycling Center Workers.

Werner reviewed the City’s two retirement plans, which include a defined benefit for sworn Police Department Employees and the Defined Contribution for all other employees. He said the retirement benefit total cost is $1,716,000 for FY23-24. 2 Packet Pg. 20
Minutes Acceptance: Minutes of Jun 8, 2023 3:30 PM (Approval of Minutes) City Council Page 2 June 8, 2023
Werner said the health and welfare expenses have experienced a 4.5% increase over the last 10 years. Fiscal Year 23-24 expenses are budgeted at $1,897,000. Werner said the City has been able to save a significant amount by offering employees with Blue Shield the Silver Plan over the Gold Plan, and reimbursing the deductible.

Werner reviewed the General Fund’s Budget and said the FY23-24 General Fund Revenue is $16,436,868. He said 54% of the City’s revenue comes from taxes, with sales tax being the largest contributor. Werner said FY23-24 sales tax revenue is expected to decline 12% from FY 22-23.

Werner reviewed the Enterprise Fund Budget. He said there was a 5-year rate study approved in 2020 and prior to rates being increased, staff will present an analysis to determine the February 2024 rate increase. He said this study will also evaluate recent changes resulting from garbage regulatory changes and the water infrastructure bond to connect to the South County Water Supply Project.

Werner said the assessments for the Landscape Districts will stay the same with the exception of the Carolina’s Maintenance District with a 14% increase and the Alexandria Maintenance District with an increase of 6.8%.

Werner said the Lighting District’s revenue is projected to slightly exceed expenses for FY23-24, noting that the District faces the challenge of replacing induction lights. He said staff will look at options to increase revenue to pay for this capital expense.

Werner went over the Capital Fund Budget starting with an update of the Streets and Roads projects and a review of the Streets and Road Plan. He said FY23-24 Street and Road Capital projects are a 3-layer treatment of the Madsen area for $1 million and an overlay at River Road for $1.5 million.

Werner summarized the Parks and Recreation Capital Outlay Expenditures including resurfacing the Library parking lot, tennis court reconstruction, resurfacing the Vermeulen basketball courts and replacing the play equipment at Vermeulen Park.

Werner said the Enterprise Fund Capital Outlay expenditures will include the purchase of new service trucks for Public Works, upgrades to the pond monitoring system and two new garbage trucks.

Werner summarized the FY23-24 Capital Improvement Project budget of $14.5 million saying it includes improvements to the Senior Center, the construction of the Fleet Maintenance Facility, the East Main/Highway 99 traffic signal, and Well 9 rehabilitation.

He said the Senior Center project and the East Main/Highway 99 traffic signal both have grants to assist with the funding.

Werner discussed the City’s Debt Summary. He said the City’s 2012 Water Bonds and the Sewer Bonds will be paid off in 2027 and 2025, respectively. The water meter 2 Packet Pg. 21
Minutes Acceptance: Minutes of Jun 8, 2023 3:30 PM (Approval of Minutes) City Council Page 3 June 8, 2023
installation project will be paid off in 2025 and the Happy Daze Incentive Agreement should be paid off between 2024 and 2027.

Werner finished by saying there would be a public hearing for the FY23-24 Budget at the June 13, 2023 City Council meeting and it will be presented for approval at the July 11, 2023 City Council meeting.

SUBJECT: DIBUDUO & DEFENDIS INSURANCE BROKERS
DATE: 6/13/2023
RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Approve the invoice in the amount of $17,257.62 payable to DiBuduo & DeFendis for Employment Practices Liability Insurance effective 7/1/2023 to 7/1/2024.

BACKGROUND:

The City of Ripon has had Employment Liability Insurance (EPLI) since January 2015. We have been using DiBuduo & DeFendis since inception.

In June 2018, staff requested quotes from other insurance brokers, including DiBuduo & DeFendis.

None of the other brokers could match the premium by DiBuduo & DeFendis, so we continued with their services of providing EPLI for that fiscal year.

Below is a table of premiums that have been paid for EPLI insurance in the most recent years along with the annual increases.

Fiscal Year Premium Increase
2016-2017 $13,379.52
2017-2018 $13,379.52 0%
2018-2019 $13,387.36 0%
2019-2020 $14,122.56 5%
2020-2021 $14,544.22 3%
2021-2022 $15,417.43 6%
2022-2023 $16,645.36 8%
2023-2024 $17,257.62 3.7% Proposed
Per our insurance broker, there is an increase in premium due to an increase in population and employees, increase in water/sewer utility revenues, and company mandated increase. The premium rates are factored using an internal rating system that takes employee count, City population, and utility revenues into consideration because the employees that deal with the public are at higher risk on EPLI claims and those are areas where the employees tend to deal with the public more.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

We have received a quote from DiBuduo & DeFendis for EPLI for fiscal year 2023-2024. The premium increased by 3.7% compared to last year. For fiscal year 2024-2025, staff is planning to request quotes from other brokers.

Attachment: Invoice #15130 (3877 : Johnson Sign Systems) MEMO
To: Honorable City Council
From: Planning Director, Ken Zuidervaart
Date: June 13, 2023
Subject: Johnson Sign Systems
RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Approve and authorize the purchase of two (2) Electronic Message Center signs from Johnson Sign Systems in the not to exceed amount of $44,172 (funding source: General Department Capital Fund).

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

At the May 9th City Council meeting a workshop was held where a representative from Watchfire Signs and Johnson Sign Systems provided visual displays of different Electronic Signs for the City Council to view. At the workshop, staff did receive direction from the City Council regarding which quality (Pixel Matrix) the City Council desired for an electronic message center sign in front of City Hall.

The Electronic Message sign is proposed to be located in front of City Hall along Wilma Avenue, where the current Police Station monument sign exists. The existing Police Station monument sign will be removed and the new sign will be located in the same vicinity.

The proposed Electronic Message sign will be perpendicular to Wilma Avenue and will be double sided so it can be viewed in both traffic directions from Wilma Avenue. The size of the units will be 3 feet tall by 6 feet long.

The likely uses of the sign will be for community announcements, community events, etc. Staff anticipates developing a usage policy to be approved by the City Council prior to installation and initialization of the sign.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The entire cost to purchase the two (2) Electronic Message Center signs from Johnson Sign Systems ($47,172) will be covered by the City’s General Department Capital Fund.

Date: 06/13/2023
Subject: Deferred Improvement Agreement - Mohler
RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Staff is requesting that the City Council approve and authorize the Mayor to sign the attached Deferred Improvement Agreement with Gary and Amy Mohler BACKGROUND:

On December 19, 2022, the Planning Commission approved a tentative parcel map (PM22-79) for Gary Mohler. The subject property is located at the 1265 S. Mohler Road and is within current city limits. The actual property consists of approximately 17 acres of cherry orchard and an existing single-family farmhouse. The purpose of the tentative parcel map was to separate the existing residential farmhouse from the larger parcel (cherry orchard) to facilitate some estate planning for the Mohler family.

Due to its rural setting and lack of available public services, the applicant was required as a condition of approval to enter into a Deferred Improvement Agreement with the City of Ripon which will stipulate that all frontage improvements and connection to City services will be required when the larger parcel (cherry orchard) is developed.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

Per the conditions of approval for the tentative parcel map (PM22-79), Gary and Amy Mohler (owners) have agreed to sign the attached Deferred Improvement Agreement, which includes the “triggering event” language requiring Gary and Amy Mohler to construct their frontage improvements at such time the larger “agricultural parcel” is developed.

WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Ripon wishes to enter into a Deferred Improvement Agreement with Gary and Amy Mohler for the required improvements pursuant to the approval of Tentative Parcel Map (PM22-79).

MEMO
To: Honorable City Council
From: Lisa Roos, City Clerk & Finance Director
Date: 06/13/2023
Subject: TDA Claim 22-23
RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Approve the City of Ripon Annual Transportation Development Act Claim and authorize submission to the San Joaquin County Council of Governments for the 2022-2023 Fiscal Year.

BACKGROUND:

On an annual basis, the City of Ripon is required to submit a Transportation Development Act Claim to the San Joaquin County Council of Governments in order to request Local Transportation Fund (LTF) and State Transit Assistance (STA) Fund Apportionments.

In the past, as long as there were no unmet transit needs within the City, the entire amount of LTF funds could be used for streets and road maintenance. The STA Fund Apportionment is used for the operations of the small bus.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

The San Joaquin County Council of Governments instituted a policy change beginning in July 2021, requiring 25% of the City’s LTF be “set aside” for transit purposes, which is $249,619 in this 2022-2023 Claim.

Normally, for STA funds, one of the two Efficiency Standards, as summarized below, must be met:
1) The operator’s operating cost per revenue vehicle hour, in the latest year for which audited data is available, must not exceed the sum of the preceding year’s operating cost per revenue vehicle hour and an amount equal to the change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI), multiplied by the preceding year’s operating cost per revenue vehicle hours. 2) The operator’s average operating cost per revenue vehicle hour, in the last three years for which audited data are available, must not exceed the sum of the average of the operating cost per revenue vehicle hour for the three years preceding the latest year for which

1.3.C
Packet Pg. 77
audited data are available and an amount equal to the average in the CPI for the same period.

Based on these calculations from the 2021/2022 fiscal year, the City did not meet either of those standards. However, due to COVID, those standards are suspended through AB90, which has a hold harmless provision for the calculation and allocation of the STA Program for the 2020-2021 and 2021-2022 budget years, only, which means that we will need to meet the efficiency standards in the 2022-2023 year. At this time, staff is projecting that the efficiency standards for the 2022-2023 year will not be met because our revenue vehicle hours are so low for the small bus.

If either of these efficiency standards are not met, the City will still receive the entire STA allocation of funds, but only a portion can be used for operations and the remaining must be used for capital purposes.

MEMO
To: Honorable City Council
From: Lisa Roos, City Clerk & Finance Director
Date: 06/13/2023
Subject: Investment Policy - Update
RECOMMENDED ACTION:

This resolution amends the City of Ripon’s Investment Policy to be in compliance with the current California Government Code that was updated in 2020.

BACKGROUND:

The City of Ripon adopted an Investment Policy in 1996 and later amended it in 2003.

Staff recently reviewed the Policy and recommend the Policy be amended to address missing information and the 2020 California Government Code changes related to local agency investments.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

Generally, the City’s Investment Policy was updated to include the following changes:

1. The prior Policy did not identify the designated official for reviewing and reporting on investments. The Policy has been updated to designate the City Clerk in this role.

2. Changes to the list of authorized investments at the back were made to be consistent with the list of authorized and suitable investments in the Policy. For example, Shares of a Joint Powers Authority” and “Supranational Obligations” were explicitly added to the list of authorized investments even though these were referenced and allowed in the original Policy under Section 7.0 O, which authorizes other investments under Section 53601.

3. California Government Code section 53601, which deals with local agency investments, was updated in 2020 and some of the percentages and regulations changed. For example, no more than 10% of funds may be invested in certain types of investment, so this verbiage was added throughout the Policy; maximum maturity dates for Bankers Acceptances and Prime Commercial Paper changed, so this information was updated in the list of authorized investments; and Section 53601(c) regarding State Registered

FY 2023/24 Engineer’s Report
SECTION I – INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this report is to provide information on the assessment for street lighting services within the Ripon Lighting District, and is provided pursuant to the requirements of California Constitution Article 13D, Section 4(b).

SECTION II – DISTRICT
The District was formed pursuant to the provisions of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, as amended, which provides street lighting in and around the Ripon City limits and is considered a District pursuant to the definitions of the California Constitution Article 13D, Section 2(d). A district is an area determined by an agency to contain all parcels which receive a special benefit from a public improvement or property-related service. The District is located in the southeast portion of the County as shown on Exhibit A.

SECTION III – DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES
Assessments are used to pay for the expenses of maintaining and operating the district's street lighting system. Maintenance and operation expenses include the repair, replacement, rehabilitation, fuel, power electrical current, care and supervision necessary to operate and maintain the permanent public improvements.

The street lighting system was installed to illuminate the public roadways for enhanced visibility at night. The street lighting system consists of:

FY 2023/24 Engineer’s Report
SECTION IV – FISCAL YEAR 2023-2024 PROJECTED BUDGET

EXPENDITURES
Cost of Energy for current Street Light Inventory (MID & PG&E) $140,000 City of Ripon Maintenance & Administrative Costs $111,143 Total Expenditures $251,143

REVENUE
Property Taxes & Miscellaneous $42,080
Proposed Assessment ($42/SFE) $270,000
Total Revenue $312,080
SECTION V – ASSESSMENT
The street light assessment for the District has been developed with the following considerations:
a) Property tax, interest, service charge and/or assessment revenues collected should equal maintenance and operation cost once an appropriate reserve fund has been established. b) Reserve funds should be available to cover the cost of equipment most likely to fail in a given year and for future facility replacement.

Assessments are apportioned to the benefit received. Assessments are collected by placement upon the San Joaquin County tax roll or through billing for parcels that receive benefit but are not on the tax roll.

Total projected SFE* Units FY 2023-24 6300
Proposed Assessment $42
TOTAL ASSESSMENT REVENUE $264,600
*SFE (Single Family Equivalent) - see Section VII - Method of Assessment Apportionment for more details.

SECTION VI – DISCUSSION OF SPECIAL BENEFIT
All assessment proceeds derived from the service charges or assessments received by District will be utilized to fund the cost of providing a level of "special benefit" in the form of maintenance and operation of the District street lighting system. The facilities being maintained are a special benefit to those properties within the District and are not enjoyed by property outside the District. Without the revenues produced by the assessment of the District, the properties located within the District would not receive the service provided. It is therefore concluded that the facilities funded by the assessment are of special benefit to the properties located within the District's jurisdictional boundary.

City of Ripon Lighting District
FY 2023/24 Engineer’s Report
SECTION VII – METHOD OF ASSESSMENT APPORTIONMENT
The assessment for street lighting service within the District is expressed as a Single Family Equivalent (SFE) Unit. A SFE Unit refers to the benefit a single-family dwelling unit on one parcel would receive. This SFE method of apportionment of cost is commonly used to distribute service charges and assessments in proportion to estimated special benefit received and is generally recognized as providing the basis for a fair and appropriate distribution.

All properties that receive services are receiving special benefit and are assessed in SFEs proportionate to the benefit received. All uses are assigned the following SFE values:

A. Residential Properties.
1) Single Dwelling – 1 SFE
Traditional houses, Condominiums and townhouses are included within this category. 2) Multi-Family Units – 1 SFE per unit
For multi-family housed parcels such as a duplex or mobile home, a SFE unit is Assigned for each living unit.
3) Vacant – 1 SFE
B. Commercial/Industrial Properties
1) Commercial/Industrial – 1 SFE for first 75’ of frontage plus 1 SFE for each additional 50’ of frontage.
2) Vacant (Service Available) – 1 SFE
C. Agricultural Related
1) All – 1 SFE
D. Other Properties
All other land use types that receive lighting service are receiving special benefit and are assessed a minimum of one SFE. Those properties that receive no benefit such as easements or right of ways are not assessed.

The Ripon Lighting District consists of 5395 lots and assessor parcels of which 5199 are subject to assessment. The assessment is apportioned to the lots and assessor parcels according to the above method of apportionment. The assessment for each parcel is shown on Exhibit B and is available upon request. All assessments presented on Exhibit B are subject to change as a result of parcel changes made by the County including parcel splits, parcel merges or development changes that occur prior to the County securing the roll and generating tax bills for fiscal year 2023/2024.

1.3.F
Packet Pg. 129
exceeding the revenues each year. For those districts that no longer have a fund balance, funds are transferred from the General Fund to cover the deficit. For those districts that do have a balance available, that balance is used to cover the financial deficit.

Four of the landscape maintenance districts did include language that allows the assessment to be indexed over time to account for inflation. Staff is recommending that the:
 Carolina’s Maintenance District assessment be increased from $218 to $250 per parcel to cover expenses and fund the replacement of capital in the future. The current balance of this district is $28,740 and the goal is to have $40,000 in the fund for future capital replacement.
 Cornerstone Maintenance District assessment to remain at $130.36 per parcel. The revenue generated covers expenses and the current balance is sufficient for future capital replacement.
 Vineyard Maintenance District assessment to remain at $488.26 per parcel. The revenue in this district is currently exceeding the expenses, but it is a new district and the fund balance necessary for future capital replacement is $300,000.  Alexandra Maintenance District assessment be increased from $264.72 to $284.04 per parcel to cover expenses and begin to establish a capital replacement fund (the goal of this district is $20,000). This district was recently established and does not have a balance available for future capital replacement.

City of Ripon Landscape Maintenance Districts
FY 2023/24 Consolidated Engineer’s Report
SECTION I – INTRODUCTION
A. OVERVIEW
The City of Ripon (“City”) levies and collects special assessments on parcels in order to fund the maintenance and servicing of landscaping improvements within ten (10) Landscape Maintenance Districts (“Districts”) located within the City. The Districts were formed between 1989 and 2018 and are levied annually, pursuant to the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972, Part 2 of Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code (the “1972 Act”) and the provisions of the California Constitution Article XIIID, added by Proposition 218.

In an effort to streamline the annual administrative process and expense, the annual Reports required for each District, pursuant to the 1972 Act, are incorporated into this single Report.

This comprehensive Engineer’s Report addresses the Districts and improvements, any proposed changes to the Districts or improvements and the proposed budgets and assessments for Fiscal Year 2023/2024.

The word “parcel”, for the purposes of this Report, refers to an individual property assigned its own Assessment Parcel Number by the San Joaquin County Assessor’s Office. The San Joaquin County Auditor/Controller uses Assessment Parcel Numbers and specific Charge Numbers to identify properties assessed for special district benefit assessments on the tax roll.

Following consideration of public comments and written protests at a noted public hearing, the City Council may order amendments to this Report or confirm the Report as submitted.

Following final approval of the Report and confirmation of the assessments, the Council will order the levy and collection of assessments for the fiscal year 2023/2024. In such case, the assessment information will be submitted to the County Auditor/Controller and included on the property tax roll for each benefiting parcel in fiscal year 2023/2024 .

The City formed and maintains the following 10 individual Landscape Maintenance Districts:

FY 2023/24 Consolidated Engineer’s Report
B. COMPLIANCE WITH CURRENT LEGISLATION
The Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972 (Streets & Highways §22500) allows local governmental agencies to form Landscape & Lighting Maintenance Districts for the purpose of financing the costs and expenses of landscaping and lighting public areas. This act can be used by public agencies such as cities, counties, and special districts to fund services including, but not limited to, the installation and ongoing maintenance and servicing of landscape improvements, the cost of personnel, materials, equipment, contracting services, and other items necessary for the satisfactory operation of these services in each District.

California voters passed Proposition 218, the “Right to Vote on Taxes Act” in November 1996.

This constitutional amendment protects taxpayers by limiting the methods by which local governments can create or increase taxes, fees and charges without taxpayer consent.

Proposition 218 requires voter approval prior to imposition or increase of general taxes, assessments, and certain user fees. Certain existing assessments (those that existed on or before November 6, 1996) are exempt from these requirements until such time that such assessments are increased.

All assessments approved by the City Council have been prepared in accordance with the 1972 Act and are in compliance with the provisions of the California Constitution Article XIIID (“Article XIIID”).
