I. INTRODUCTION
The City of San Ramon Landscaping & Lighting District No.1984-1 (District) was formed in 1984 in accordance with the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 (Streets and Highways Code Section 22500 et seq).
The District has been reestablished each year thereafter. On November 5, 1996, California voters approved Proposition 218, entitled the "Right to Vote on Taxes Act," which added Articles XIIIC and XIIID to the California Constitution. Proposition 218 established new procedural requirements for the formation and administration of assessment districts. The City of San Ramon has taken the necessary steps to ensure that Landscaping & Lighting District No. 1984-1 is compliant with Proposition 218.
Per Section 22622 of the Streets and Highways Code, the City Council of the City of San Ramon adopted Resolution 2023-036 on April 11, 2023, which ordered the District Engineer to prepare and file an Engineer’s Report for a proposed assessment increase for Zone 4 for FY 2023/24 and described new improvements for the District. Resolution 2023-036 is included as Appendix A.
II. DISTRICT PURPOSE AND SERVICE LEVELS

III. ASSESSMENT DISTRICT DIAGRAM
The Assessment District Diagram (Appendix B) delineates the assessment district Zone 4 boundary. That area consists of Subdivisions 5467 and 5468. The District Engineer and Engineer of Work, hereby finds that the properties within Zone 4 each receive approximately equal special benefit from the work and improvements within that special zone.
IV. PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR IMPROVEMENTS
The description and location of existing and proposed new improvements that are or will be maintained by the District during FY 2023/24 are as follows:
Existing and Proposed Improvements
The existing improvements within Zone 4 consist of the following:
1) Arterial Roadside Landscaping. This landscaping consists of mulch or ground cover, shrubs, trees, associated irrigation systems. The improvements are located along the east side of Alcosta Boulevard, between the east curb and soundwall, beginning from a point approximately 57 feet northwest of the back of sidewalk at Bollinger Canyon Road where the existing soundwall is parallel to Alcosta Boulevard, and extending to a point adjacent to the northern boundary of Subdivision 5468 approximately 240 feet south of Hospital Road.
Maintenance responsibilities for this area are shared with the Citywide Landscaping Zone 2. 2) Median Landscaping at Entry Points: This landscaping consists of mulch or ground cover, shrubs, trees, associated irrigation systems and decorative lighting. The improvements are located in the median islands on Overlook Drive and Woodland Drive within 60 feet of Alcosta.
3) Interior Median Landscaping: This landscaping consists of mulch or ground cover, shrubs, trees, associated irrigation systems, and dog waste bag dispensers. The improvements are located on the central median islands on Woodview Circle.
The small retaining wall and the landscape behind it near Overlook Drive are not maintained by the Landscape and Lighting District. The maintenance of the soundwall is the responsibility of the Landscape and Lighting District Citywide Zone 2, except for Vista San Ramon signage, which is the responsibility of the Vista San Ramon Home Owners Association.
Proposed New Improvements may include the following:
Enhanced decorative lighting, entry statement signage, and replacement of trees, shrubs and other vegetation, ground cover, mulch, and other improvements as listed above in kind or of a generally similar nature as required due to decline or end of useful life of existing improvements.

VI. ASSESSMENTMETHODOLOGY
Special and General Benefits
Benefits
The operation and maintenance of the improvements and necessary related administrative expenses the City will incur in obtaining and managing maintenance services will provide benefits to those properties within the boundary of the Zone. The benefits conferred to property within the boundary
5.3.b
Packet Pg. 274 Attachment: B: Draft Engineer’s Report for Landscaping and Lighting District No. 1984-1, Zone 4 Vista San Ramon Fiscal Year 2023-2024 (3970
of the Zone from the public improvements are described below. This report does not consider any general enhancement of property value.
Aesthetics
Aesthetics, or the beautification of property, is a primary component of livability. Livability encompasses several qualities and characteristics that are unique to a specific area. The Victoria Transport Policy Institute (2011) expands on the concept of livability and the various benefits associated with that designation:
“The livability of an area increases property desirability and business activity. Livability is largely affected by conditions in the public realm, places where people naturally interact with each other and their community, including streets, parks, transportation terminals and other public facilities.
Livability also refers to the environmental and social quality of an area as perceived by employees, customers and visitors. This includes local environmental conditions, the quality of social interactions, opportunities for recreation and entertainment, aesthetics, and existence of unique cultural and environmental resources.”
The maintenance and servicing of the improvements increases the aesthetics, appearance and desirability of properties within the proposed boundaries of the District. The overall appeal of the District is enhanced when improvements are in place and kept in a healthy and satisfactory condition.
The maintenance of the improvements will provide and create a cohesive community identity that will serve to improve the livability within and helps define a positive urban character with the visual features of a destination community. This encourages the enjoyment of the neighborhood as well as promotes the maximum use of each area.
Conversely, appeal decreases when improvements are not well maintained, unsafe, or destroyed by the elements or vandalism. Upgraded and maintained amenities will enhance the appearance, desirability and “livability” of the property throughout the District.
Pedestrian Benefit
Landscaped areas will be maintained and free from trash. These routinely maintained sidewalks will provide a year-round, aesthetically pleasing environment that will encourage pedestrian activity.
Regular maintenance and repair ensures that the improvements do not reach a state of deterioration or disrepair so as to be materially detrimental to properties adjacent to or in close proximity to the improvements within the proposed Zone. According to the Victoria Transport Policy Institute (2011), streetscapes have a significant effect on how people view and interact with their community.
With streetscapes that are safe and inviting, people are more likely to walk, which can help reduce automobile traffic, improve public health and attract residents to the community.
Maintained walking improvements will enhance the local identity of the Zone, which will lead to a stronger and healthier community. The walking improvements including benches, water fountains and trash receptacles will establish continuity throughout the district. The walking improvements also provide an additional means to enjoy the landscaping improvements.
5.3.b
Packet Pg. 275 Attachment: B: Draft Engineer’s Report for Landscaping and Lighting District No. 1984-1, Zone 4 Vista San Ramon Fiscal Year 2023-2024 (3970
A survey conducted by DMB (an Arizona based commercial developer) found that there was a strong demand for communities characterized by pedestrian access, a sense of connection, and a sense of community and diversity (Urban Land Institute, 2006). According to the Urban Land Institute report “Creating Walkable Places: Compact Mixed-Use Solutions,” people want their neighborhoods to provide more opportunities to walk (Urban Land Institute, 2006). A survey sponsored by the Surface Transportation Policy Project found that 55% of respondents would like to walk more, 63% would like to run errands on foot and walk to stores, and 79% would like sidewalks and other places to walk and exercise (Urban Land Institute, 2006). The installation of the inter-connecting sidewalks improves the livability and appeal for the properties.
Security and Safety Benefits
A recent study has found that after landscape improvements were installed, there was a 46% decrease in crash rates across urban arterial and highway sites and a second study reviewed found a 5% to 20% reduction in mid-block crashes after trees and planters in urban arterial roads were put in place.
In addition, there is less graffiti, vandalism, and littering in outdoor spaces with natural landscapes than in comparable plant-less spaces (Wolf, 2010). As residents are active in their neighborhoods there is a proportional reduction in crime as these neighborhoods become more cohesive, self-aware, and self-policing.
Further, by including landscaping in the central portion of streets, this will discourage pedestrians from cutting across the streets and encourage the use of designated pedestrian crossings. The Victoria Transport Policy Institute (2011) has found that streetscapes reduce traffic speeds, and when combined with improved pedestrian crossing conditions, can significantly reduce collisions.
According to the Federal Highway Administration (“FHWA”), sidewalks and walking trails reduce roadway accidents, including pedestrian/motor vehicle accidents. In addition, roadways without sidewalks are more than twice as likely to have pedestrian involved accidents compared to sites with sidewalks on both sides of the street (FHWA, n.d.). In 2008, the National Traffic Safety Administration’s (“NHTSA”) National Pedestrian Crash Report identified California as one of the states with the highest number of pedestrian deaths (NHTSA, 2008).
The maintained improvements will provide an increased level of safety to the property, residents, and visitors to the Zone. Convenient and safe pedestrian access is a critical component to the establishment of a community. Well-maintained and clean sidewalks and walking trails provide a separation between vehicle and pedestrian as well as property and pedestrian, which provides a safety benefit for both property and pedestrian. Safety for pedestrians involves not only a degree of protection from vehicular accidents, but also from criminal activity. Well-maintained areas mitigate crime, especially vandalism, and enhance pedestrian and vehicular safety.
The U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration (FHWA, n.d.) notes that annually, around 4,500 pedestrians are killed in traffic crashes with motor vehicles in the United States. Pedestrians killed while “walking along the roadway” account for almost 8 percent of those deaths. Providing safe walkways separated from the travel lanes could help to prevent up to 88 percent of these “walking along roadway” crashes.
Special and General Benefit
5.3.b
Packet Pg. 276 Attachment: B: Draft Engineer’s Report for Landscaping and Lighting District No. 1984-1, Zone 4 Vista San Ramon Fiscal Year 2023-2024 (3970
Special benefit has been determined by breaking the landscaped areas into subareas and estimating the special benefit derived to residents in Zone 4 for each subarea discussed below and determining the total general and special benefit as a weighted total of each subarea. Benefits include aesthetic benefits, security and safety benefit, landscaped buffers to traffic, shade from nearby trees and benefits to pedestrians and motorists from landscaping and trash removal adjacent to the walking path and travel ways. These benefits are shared to varying degrees by residents outside of Zone 4 depending on the location of the landscaping improvement relative to arterial roadways (Alcosta Boulevard). That portion of the benefit not attributable to special benefit is considered general benefit or the maintenance responsibility of the Citywide Zone 2.
For locations adjacent to Alcosta Boulevard, including the entry areas on Overlook and Woodland Drives, the majority of the benefit is assumed to be obtained by those residents closest to the improvement and therefore pass it more frequently, and derive benefits from its appearance and buffering effect from the arterial traffic. However, substantial benefit is attributable to passing users of the arterial road. For this reason the benefits is split to 70% special benefit and 30% benefit attributable to general benefit or the Citywide Zone 2.
The remainder of the landscaping improvements are located on the center median islands on Woodview Circle and entry areas. Woodview Circle is located in the interior of the Zone 4- Vista San Ramon area. That area consists of Subdivisions 5467 and 5468. All entrance and exit to these subdivisions is through Overlook and Woodland Drives. Therefore, no through traffic to other locations is possible through Zone 4. In addition, neither subdivision hosts any community improvements such as parks, trails, community facilities or other features that are routinely utilized by non-residents of the community. Access to the subdivision for parking is restricted to residents during potentially high traffic events at the nearby Central Park. For these reasons, the benefit of the improvements on Woodview Circle is entirely attributed to Special Benefit. All Special Benefit costs will be attributed to Special Zone 4, while all other costs will be borne by Citywide Zone 2, which is charged to all assessable lots within the District according to the method of apportionment.
Method of Assessment
Assessments within the District are allocated in accordance with the Benefit Methodology described above and the following Assessment Methodology. Within the zones in Landscape and Lighting District 1984-1, the assessment is determined by the use of the land, the size of the parcel, and the intensity of use of the parcel. Land use is classified as either (1) residential, (2) industrial, or (3) commercial and institutional. Within these use classifications an estimate of benefit is derived by considering the amount of lighting provided, the number of pedestrians generated by the land use, and the enhancement of the security and beauty of the property. The benefits of a single-family home provide the base for "unit" (proportion) calculations. In other words, a single-family home's unit factor is one (1.0). The unit factor for other land uses is proportional to the benefit each parcel receives relative to a single-family home. Uses that involve more people have higher unit factors, uses that have less frontage have lower unit factors. For example, a condominium's unit factor is
0.75 (because there is less street frontage), while commercial property unit factors range from 4 to 36 (because more people use the property and benefit from the improvements). See Appendix E for the full table of street Landscaping & Lighting unit factors.
Once costs are determined, and each parcel's factors are determined, and are divided by the total
5.3.b
Packet Pg. 277 Attachment: B: Draft Engineer’s Report for Landscaping and Lighting District No. 1984-1, Zone 4 Vista San Ramon Fiscal Year 2023-2024 (3970
number of factors to determine the cost per factor. Each parcel's factor is then multiplied by the zone's factor cost(s) to determine that parcel’s FY 2023/24 assessment.
The assessment spread shall be the same as that used for the entirety of the District as indicated in the Engineer’s Report.
VII. MAXIMUM ASSESSMENT and PROPOSED ASSESSMENT FOR FY 2023/24 Maximum Assessment
The proposed maximum assessment was determined based on the current and estimated annual maintenance costs and long-term replacement costs for improvements within the Zone. A longterm reserve fund study was conducted and is summarized in Estimated Costs and Reserve Fund Study, Appendix D. Therefore, the Study was based on the most recently available current costs.
Required replacement costs for existing improvements will vary as those improvements meet the end of the anticipated useful life. This will result in fluctuations in actual expenditures in any given year. In order to determine an appropriate assessment rate, replacement costs were estimated using the remaining useful life of existing improvements or full useful life of new replacements.
Variations in the costs were smoothed over a 30-year time period in order to avoid an excessively high maximum assessment rate. Reserves will be used as needed to cover periods of higher expense.
Based on the Reserve Fund Study and 161 Assessment Units the proposed maximum assessment rate in FY 2023/24 shall be $385 per assessment unit.
In order to maintain fiscal viability of the Zone each fiscal year after the base year (FY 2023/24) the maximum allowable annual assessment rate shall be increased by February Consumer Price Index for the San Francisco Bay Area, All Urban Consumers of the calendar year for the assessment.
The distribution of costs between assessable properties is determined by the Assessment Methodology described in Section VII of this Report.
Assessment to be Levied
The assessment to be levied for Zone 4 Special Zone per assessment unit is based on:
1) The maintenance and capital (replacement) costs as distributed between special and general benefit/Zone 2 responsibility (see detailed summary above). 2) The administrative costs for the zone.
3) The number of assessment units in the zone.
4) Maintenance of reserves necessary for cash flow and capital improvement projects.
There are 161 assessment units within the zone.
Total Annualized Maintenance and Replacement Costs = $77,396 General Benefit = ($11,889)
Total Assessable Costs first year= $65,507
5.3.b
Packet Pg. 278 Attachment: B: Draft Engineer’s Report for Landscaping and Lighting District No. 1984-1, Zone 4 Vista San Ramon Fiscal Year 2023-2024 (3970
Use of Reserves = $3,454
Amount to be Assessed first year = $62,053
Assessment per Unit = $385/unit
VIII. ASSESSMENT ROLL
The following is a summary of information included in the Assessment Roll that because of its bulk is filed separately with the City Clerk. According to the Landscaping and Lighting Act, the information must include a listing of all parcels of land within the assessment district. Each parcel must be listed by its distinctive designation, a description of the parcel, and the proposed assessment on the parcel in proportion to the estimated benefit it receives from the improvement.
This is done in the following format:
Property Description Property Description FY 23/24
(Assessor's Parcel #) (Assessor's Description) Assessment Total Assessment: $62,053
The lines and dimensions of each parcel are as shown on the maps of the County Assessor of the County of Contra Costa, which by reference is hereby made a part of this Report.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
Zone Funding
Landscaping & Lighting District No. 1984-1 (District) includes two Citywide Zones and 17 Special Zones. Property owners within each Zone pay an annual assessment, which funds the maintenance of public landscaping and street lighting within the Zone.
The assessment rates are different for each Special Zone, as they are based upon the cost to maintain landscaping and amenities specific to each Zone, divided by the number of units in the Zone. Assessment revenues from a Special Zone may only be spent on services for that Zone.
Any unspent revenues in each fiscal year are held in a reserve fund specific to each Zone.
In accordance with Proposition 218, the maximum assessment rate for each Zone can only be increased through a majority vote of the property owners within that Zone. Property owners set a maximum assessment rate, and the City then has the authority to raise or lower the assessment rate, up to the maximum, depending upon the projected expenditures of the Zone for each upcoming fiscal year. If there are cost savings in one fiscal year, they are allocated back to the reserve fund for that Zone. To set a new maximum rate for a Zone, the City must mail ballots to all property owners within the Zone and a simple majority of the returned ballots must approve the new rate.
FY 2023/24 Landscaping & Lighting District No. 1984-1 Reserve Study Each year, staff performs a Reserve Study in order to: 1) assess the adequacy of the reserve funds for each of the Zones; 2) set aside reserves for anticipated renovation and replacements; and 3) set aside reserves for unanticipated emergency repairs or damage due to unforeseen circumstances (e.g. heavy frost or major vandalism). The Reserve Study projects the costs of infrequent capital expenditures (e.g. planting renovations, painting, and replacement of equipment such as irrigation controllers, etc.) and assesses the District’s ability to fund these capital expenditures from projected Zone reserves.
The FY 2023/24 Study projects revenues and expenditures for each Zone for a 30-year period, beginning with FY 2023/24. The first 10 years are provided in Attachment A – FY 2023/24 Landscape & Lighting District Reserve Study.

Recommended FY 2023/24 CPI Increase for Citywide Zones 1 and 2 Assessments In the spring of 2006, property owners approved a ballot that allows for an annual adjustment in the maximum assessment rates for the two (2) Citywide Zones - Citywide Lighting (Zone 1) and Citywide Landscaping (Zone 2) - based on the CPI, not to exceed +2%. Since then, the Zone 1 and 2 maximum assessment rates have been raised by the allowable CPI and are currently at the maximum allowable rates for each Zone as voted by property owners.
The February 2023 CPI increase was 5.3%. Staff is recommending that the FY 2023/24 maximum rates for Zones 1 and 2 be increased by the allowable CPI. The preliminary FY 2023/24 budget and Reserve Study assume that the maximum assessment rate will be approved.
The current and proposed assessments for Zones 1 and 2 are as follows:
Zone Current
Assessment Rate
Current
Maximum Rate
Proposed
Assessment Rate
Proposed
Maximum Rate
1 $30.23 $33.90 $30.23 $34.58
2 $73.25 $73.25 $74.71 $74.71
Zones 1 & 2
Combined $103.48 $107.15 $104.94 $109.29
The maximum allowable increase would be 2.0% or $2.14 per unit per year for Zones 1 and 2 combined, or $0.68 for Zone 1 and $1.46 for Zone 2. The total combined proposed maximum rate for FY 2023/24 Zone 1 and Zone 2 is $109.29.
Raising the maximum assessment rate of Zone 1 is based on the desire to maintain flexibility in the event of high inflation or to accommodate future projects. However, due to the adequate reserve fund level and projected expenses for Zone 1, staff recommends no increase in the actual assessment to be levied for FY 2023/24. The assessment will remain at $30.23.
Raising the maximum assessment rate for Zone 2 is based on the current backlog of approximately $560,000 in CIP projects for landscaping and tree removal/replacement improvements on major arterial roadways. This work is shown in the Reserve Study as programmed annually over the next 10-15 years.
Recommended Assessments for Special Zones in FY 2023/24 The current maximum rates for Special Zones 3 through 12 were set through a mailed ballot election in May of 1997. Zones 13 through 19 were created after 1997, and their maximum assessment rates were established through property owner balloting at the time of their creation.
During the formation and balloting process for Zone 18 (Old Ranch Summit) and Zone 19 (Glass House), property owners approved the maximum rate to be increased by up to 2% each year based upon changes in CPI. The current CPI is 5.3% for February 2023.
The table below details the maximum rates, as well as current and proposed assessment rates for each Zone in FY 2023/24:

These increases can be accomplished by Council action without balloting property owners, as the Zones are not at their maximum assessment rates.
Canyon Lakes (Zone 3) – An assessment vacation was given to Zone 3 in FY 2022/23 for one year due to the substantial reduction in costs as a result of the replacement of the Canyon Lakes fountain with a landscaping feature. This reduction was possible while fully funding irrigation upgrade projects and maintaining appropriate reserves. Zone 3 is proposed to be assessed at $70 per unit next fiscal year.
Summerwood Loop (Zone 5) – Assessments were lowered last year due to a transfer of funds to complete capital improvement projects.
Old Ranch Summit (Zone 18) – Substantial funds have already been allocated to Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) for future improvements. Because Zone 18 is relatively small, fluctuations in need can have a significant effect on the balance, but the high assessment limit provides a great deal of flexibility in providing funds when needed.
Glass House (Zone 19) – The assessment methodology for Zone 19 is different than the other special zones and is described in detail in the Engineer’s Report (Attachment B). The maximum assessment cap will be increased by the allowable CPI (2%) and the maximum assessment will be assessed ($15,492.17).
Underfunded Special Zones
5.4 Packet Pg. 295

West Branch continues to fund significant fountain repairs and landscape renovation, which contribute to the deficit now and in future years.
Other contributing factors increasing costs for all Special Zones are: the renovation of aging landscaping; replacement of irrigation components; and increased contract and utility costs.
Potential Ballot Initiatives
The FY 2023/24 Reserve Study shows that, at current assessment rates, West Branch (Zone 6) would achieve a negative fund balance in FY 2025/26 and Vista San Ramon (Zone 4) will have a negative fund balance in FY 2026/27. The public outreach efforts for each of these Special Zones are detailed below.
5.4 Packet Pg. 296
Vista San Ramon (Special Zone 4)
The current assessment for Vista San Ramon is $180 per assessment unit. This rate is insufficient for the District to continue the current service level for this Zone. Therefore, following discussions in 2022 with the Homeowners Association representatives for the area, staff has prepared a separate Engineer’s Report to support a rate increase. That increase will be subject to a hearing and mail-in ballot procedure which will occur following the adoption of the budget and assessment rates for the rest of the District. If the ballot measure passes then the assessment rate will be increased, as authorized. On April 11, 2023, City Council approved Resolution No. 2023- 036 Describing New Improvements and Ordering the District Engineer to Prepare and File an Engineer’s Report for the Landscaping & Lighting District No. 1984-1 Zone 4 – Vista San Ramon Increased Assessment for FY 2023/24.
West Branch (Special Zone 6)
As noted above, Zone 6 is expected to have a negative fund balance by FY 2025/26. The fund is only solvent this year and next due to savings in utility costs from the fountains being out of operation. Public outreach to Zone 6 has begun in order to describe pending Zone expenditures related to fountain maintenance/repair and landscape enhancement projects. Residents will be informed as early as possible in 2023 about ongoing maintenance and funding issues as shown in the Reserve Study in order to prepare for a possible Zone increase. Recent work in Zone 6 included notable landscaping improvements, sound wall repairs, and preventative maintenance to fountains. Planned work includes additional irrigation repairs and declining plant material replacement, as well as replacement of fountain components such as tablet feeders and display pumps and motors.
In addition, in March 2022, a valve failed in the equipment vault of the Step Fountain and the equipment vault flooded. The motor and other electrical components were damaged and need to be replaced. As described below under Capital Improvement Projects, the replacement cost for these components is expected to be approximately $110,000. Staff had already been planning for additional expensive renovations to the fountain which total to approximately $400,000. These renovations, together with the high cost of maintenance, low reserve balance in the zone, high water usage and on-going drought conditions had raised the question of repurposing the fountain.
Alternatively, pending feedback from the Finance Committee, rather than commit these funds now to fountain repair, they may be used for maintenance activities related to the Reflections Fountain, for development of alternatives to the current Step Fountain and/or evaluation of funding alternatives for repair of the fountain in its current configuration. These may be subject to further discussion with the Finance Committee later in the year as analysis and outreach progresses.

FISCAL YEAR JULY 1, 2023 – JUNE 30, 2024
I. INTRODUCTION
The City of San Ramon Landscaping & Lighting District No.1984-1 (District) was formed in 1984 in accordance with the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 (Streets and Highways Code Section 22500 et seq).
The District has been reestablished each year thereafter. On November 5, 1996, California voters approved Proposition 218, entitled the "Right to Vote on Taxes Act," which added Articles XIIIC and XIIID to the California Constitution. Proposition 218 established new procedural requirements for the formation and administration of assessment districts. The City of San Ramon has taken the necessary steps to ensure that Landscaping & Lighting District No. 1984-1 is compliant with Proposition 218.
Per Section 22622 of the Streets and Highways Code, the City Council of the City of San Ramon adopted Resolution 2023-031 on March 28, 2023, which ordered the District Engineer to prepare and file an Engineer’s Report for FY 2023/24 and described new improvements for the District.
Resolution 2023-031 is included as Appendix A.
II. DISTRICT PURPOSE AND SERVICE LEVELS
The Landscaping & Lighting District No.1984-1 (District) provides for the maintenance of street landscaping and lighting. During FY 2004/05 the level of service was revised from FY 2003/04 to remove park maintenance from the District, since park maintenance is solely funded by the City’s General Fund and not by the assessment collected by the District. The District provides services and maintains improvements as follows and as described in subdivision improvement plans, capital improvement plans and prior Engineer’s Reports on file with the City:
Street Landscaping and Lighting
1. Provide horticultural care to all improved landscaped areas: mowing of turf areas, edging of turf areas, tree pruning, fertilization, soil aeration, and dethatching of turf areas.
2. Provide a high level of maintenance including weed abatement, and trash and debris pickup along City streets and in improved landscaped areas.
3. Provide weed abatement of all non-landscaped medians and public right-of-way.
4. Replace dead and dying plants and maintain the appearance of landscaped areas.
5. Provide tree pruning service for ongoing maintenance of trees.
6. Maintain exterior of sound walls by replacing Bouquet Canyon stones whenever necessary.
7. Maintain the landscaping and lighting at the San Ramon Transit Center.
8. Provide maintenance and electric service forstreet lighting.

IV. PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR IMPROVEMENTS
The description and location of existing and proposed new improvements that are or will be maintained by the District during FY 2023/24 are as follows:
Existing Improvements
1. Zone 1 - Citywide Lighting
Zone 1 improvements consist of various lighting improvements located throughout the City with the exception of the Dougherty Valley area. A listing of street light locations for Zone 1 is on file with the Public Works -Public Services Division.
During Fiscal Years 2011/12 and 2012/13, the City converted high-pressure sodium street lights to a more energy-efficient, light-emitting diode (LED) technology. This conversion was performed in two phases:
Phase 1 converted approximately 600 street lights in the Zone 1 area at a cost of $377,505. This work was possible due to an Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant as a part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, in the amount of $215,600; PG&E utility rebates in the amount of $63,465; and Zone 1 funding in the amount of $98,440.
Phase 2 converted the remaining approximately 1,000 Zone 1 street lights through funding provided by a General Fund loan and lease agreement with Banc of America Public Capital Corporation. PG&E rebates are being used to repay the General Fund loan and energy savings resulting from the LED conversion are being used to pay the 12-year lease resulting in no net cost to the City for that 12- year period. After the lease period, the City will realize an approximate 50% reduction in costs due to energy savings.
The new technology has not only lowered energy usage and costs, but delivers improved performance and quality of light, resulting in longer product lifespan and has reduced greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, thirty (30) overhead retroreflective signs have been purchased in order to convert illuminated street name signs.
2. Zones 2 through 19 - Citywide Landscaping and Special Zones Zone 2 through 19 improvements are listed in Appendix C. The approximate location of each zone is shown on the Assessment Diagram in Appendix B.
Proposed New Improvements
Proposed new improvements are installed either by the City as capital improvement projects, upgrades paid for through operating budgets, or by developers in accordance with their development conditions of approval. In the latter category, the development Conditions of Approval and the approved Final Map designate those landscaped areas to be maintained by the City. All other landscaped areas remain under private maintenance. In the event that a private

V. DISTRICT FUNDING
The District is funded through two City wide funding sources and special zones as discussed below:
1. Citywide Zone Assessments (Zones 1 and 2)
The assessment is collected on the property tax rolls from certain property owners within the City of San Ramon. It was confirmed by a majority vote through Measure K during the November 1996 election. Measure K provided for a continuation of an assessment of $53 per single-family unit per year for Zones 1 & 2 through June 1998, with an increase to $59 per single-family unit per year beginning July 1, 1998, and for each year thereafter.
The Citywide assessment of $59 per unit per year allocated $19 to Citywide street lighting and $40 to Citywide landscaping.
In accordance with Proposition 218, the City conducted a mailed ballot election for the Zone 1 and Zone 2 assessment increase. The election approved the assessment for FY 2006/07 at $79 per unit per year and an annual increase based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI) not to exceed 2%. With the $20 increase, these assessments increased proportionately such that the increase to the street lighting assessment was $6 per unit per year, for a total of $25; and the increase to the landscaping assessment was $14 per unit per year, for a total of $54.
Since then, the Zone 1 and 2 maximum assessment rates have been raised by the allowable CPI and are currently at the maximum allowable rates for each Zone as voted by property owners. The February 2023 CPI increase is 5.3%; therefore, the maximum allowable assessment and the maximum assessment rate increase is 2% for FY 2023/24.
There are a total of 34 parcels that are assessed only for Citywide street lighting. These are the parcels within the Bishop Ranch area. Bishop Ranch is responsible for maintaining roadway landscaping at its cost in accordance with the annexation agreement with the City.

Packet Pg. 329 Attachment: B: DRAFT Landscaping & Lighting District No. 1984-1 FY 2023-24 Engineer’s Report (3966 : FY 2023/24 Operating and Capital
New Developments for FY 2023/24 are detailed below:
In addition to minor new development projects throughout the City, the Landscaping & Lighting District annexed The Preserve (Faria) into Zones 1 and 2 in March of 2018.
Improvements that will be constructed as part of The Preserve and accepted by the City for maintenance, funded by Zones 1 and 2, will consist of new lighting and are described generally in the Faria Preserve Conditions of Approval and on the following Improvement Plans, as accepted by the City:
□ Subdivision 9342, The Preserve – Purdue Road, by Gates & Associates □ Subdivision 9342, Faria Preserve – Faria Preserve Parkway, Phase 1, by Gates & Associates
□ Subdivision 9342, Faria Preserve – Faria Preserve Parkway, Phase 2, by Gates & Associates
□ Mainline Extension, Subdivision 9342 – Public Street Lighting, Giacalone Design Services, Inc.
These plans indicate the installation of 40 new streetlights, associated poles, and improvements.
It is anticipated that all of the improvements will be accepted during FY 2023/24.
2. Special Zone Assessments (Zones 3 - 19)
The special zone assessments are also collected on the property tax rolls from property owners within each special zone. The funds for each special zone can only be used for the purpose of maintaining or improving the zone from which they are collected. In addition, any funds that are not used in any given year must be carried over to the next year.

Packet Pg. 330 Attachment: B: DRAFT Landscaping & Lighting District No. 1984-1 FY 2023-24 Engineer’s Report (3966 : FY 2023/24 Operating and Capital
VI. ASSESSMENT RATES
FY 2023/24 Maximum Assessment Rates - Zones 1, 2, 18, and 19 Each zone has a maximum allowed assessment rate. Each year the City may increase or decrease the actual assessment for each zone up to the maximum allowed rate for that zone. The City may choose to assess at less than the maximum rate. Four of the zones in Landscaping & Lighting District No. 1984-1 (Zones 1, 2, 18, and 19) have maximum assessment rates that property owners have approved to increase up to 2% each year for changes in the CPI. The February Consumer Price Index for the San Francisco Bay Area, All Urban Consumers is used.
The February 2023 CPI shows an increase of 5.3% compared to the 5.2% increase over the February 2022 CPI. Therefore, the maximum assessment rates for Zones 1, 2, and 19 have been increased by 2% which was approved by property owners through the ballot process in 2006. There are no maximum assessment rate increases or decreases recommended for Zone 18 in FY 2023/24.
FY 2023/24 Assessments – All Zones
Zones 1 and 2 – Citywide Lighting and Citywide Landscaping • Based on the February 2023 CPI increase noted above, the FY 2023/24 assessment caps for Zones 1 and 2 have been increased by the 2% maximum approved by property owners, or $2.14 per unit per year in total. Due to projected expenses for Zone 1, the assessment to be levied will not be increased and will remain at $30.23 for FY 2023/24. Zone 2 will be increased by $1.46, raising the assessment to be levied to $74.71 for FY 2023/24. The total combined assessment to be levied is $104.94 annually.
Zone 3 – Canyon Lakes
• The assessment for Canyon Lakes has been increased from $0 to $70 annually; an increase of $70 per unit (maximum assessment rate for Canyon Lakes is $110). This increase will ensure the assessment keeps pace with the cost of maintaining the zone improvements and to cover the cost of bringing forward landscape renovation projects. An “assessment vacation” was implemented last year due to the large reserve as a result of conversion of fountain into a landscaped area.
Zone 4 – Vista San Ramon
• The current assessment for Vista San Ramon is $180 per assessment unit. This rate is insufficient for the District to continue the current service level for this Zone.
Therefore, following discussions with the Home Owners Association representatives for the area, staff has prepared a separate Engineer’s Report to support a rate increase. That increase will be subject to a hearing and mail in ballot procedure which will occur following adoption of the budget and assessment rates for the rest of the District. If the ballot measure passesthen the assessment rate will be increased, as authorized.

Packet Pg. 332 Attachment: B: DRAFT Landscaping & Lighting District No. 1984-1 FY 2023-24 Engineer’s Report (3966 : FY 2023/24 Operating and Capital
There are no assessment increases or decreases for Special Zones 1, 7, 8, 9, 12, 14, 15, 17 and 18, for FY 2023/24.
VII. ASSESSMENTMETHODOLOGY
Assessments are allocated in accordance with the Benefit Methodology included in Appendix B and the following Assessment Methodology. Within the zones, the assessment is determined by the use of the land, the size of the parcel, and the intensity of use of the parcel. Land use is classified as either (1) residential, (2) industrial, or (3) commercial and institutional. Within these use classifications an estimate of benefit is derived by considering the amount of lighting provided, the number of pedestrians generated by the land use, and the enhancement of the security and beauty of the property. The benefits of a single- family home provide the base for "unit" (proportion) calculations. In other words, a single-family home's unit factor is one (1.0).
The unit factor for other land uses is proportional to the benefit each parcel receives relative to a single-family home. Uses that involve more people have higher unit factors, and uses that have less frontage have lower unit factors. For example, a condominium's unit factor is 0.75 (because there is less street frontage), while commercial property unit factors range from 4 to 36 (because more people use the property and benefit from the improvements). See Appendix E for the full table of street Landscaping & Lighting unit factors.
Once costs are determined, and each parcel's factors are determined, each zone's costs are divided by the total of that zone's factors to determine the cost per factor. Each parcel's factor is then multiplied by the appropriate zone's factor cost(s) to determine that parcel’s FY 2023/24 assessment.
Special Zone 5 (Summerwood Loop) Assessment Methodology Improvements
See Appendix C for a description of the improvements in Zone 5 Estimated Costs
The estimated costs for maintaining the improvements within Zone 5 and for current and upcoming capital improvements are summarized in the Special Zone 5 Costs Benefit Distribution and Assessment Table given below. The reserves and long-term financing of the zone are summarized Reserve Fund Study, Table 2, attached.
Special and General Benefit
Special benefit has been determined by breaking the landscaped areas into subareas and estimating the special benefit derived to residents in Zone 5 for each subarea and determining the total general and special benefit as a weighted total of each subarea. Benefits include aesthetic benefits, security and safety benefit, landscaped buffers to traffic, shade from nearby trees and benefits to pedestrians and motorists from landscaping and trash removal adjacent to the walking path and travel ways.
These benefits are shared to varying degrees by residents outside of Zone 5 depending on the location of the landscaping improvement relative to residential units outside of the zone, arterial roadways (Alcosta Boulevard) and the Iron Horse Trail. That portion of the benefit attributable to special
5.4.b
Packet Pg. 333 Attachment: B: DRAFT Landscaping & Lighting District No. 1984-1 FY 2023-24 Engineer’s Report (3966 : FY 2023/24 Operating and Capital
benefit is considered general benefit or the maintenance responsibility of the Citywide Zone 2.
Arterial
For locations adjacent to Alcosta Boulevard the majority of the benefit is assumed to be obtained by those residents closest to the improvement and therefore pass it more frequently, and derive benefits from its appearance and buffering effect from the arterial traffic. However, substantial benefit is attributable to passing users of the arterial road. For this reason, the benefit is split to 70% special benefit and 30% benefit attributable to general benefit or the Citywide Zone 2.
Interior
For all other areas the general benefit can be determined based on:
1) The proximity (location) of the landscaped improvements to homes within Zone 5 relative to its proximity areas outside of Zone 5.
2) The amount of pedestrian traffic from outside of Zone 5 compared to that within Zone 5 that will pass by or use the landscaped areas.
3) The amount of vehicle traffic from outside of Zone 5 compared to that within Zone 5 that will pass by the landscaped areas.
For each subarea it is assumed that the value of the location relative to its proximity to dwelling units within Zone 5 is worth 50 benefit points. The value to pedestrians is worth up to 25 benefit points and the value to motorists is worth up to 25 benefit points. The cumulative general benefit is calculated based on the general benefit for each subarea and the relative size of the landscaping within each subarea relative to the total.
The apportionment of benefit from location is based on the relative proximity of the landscaped improvement to assessed dwelling units relative to property that is outside of Zone 5, such that if a landscaped area is on average 10 feet from a home and 90 feet from the edge of the Zone then 10% of the benefit would be attributable to general benefit.
The apportionment of benefit due to pedestrian traffic depends on the area. For areas adjacent Fallview Street the pedestrian traffic is assumed to be approximately proportionate to the number of units within Zone 5 versus those in the adjacent apartment complex. That ratio is 416:421 (apartments: Zone 5 assessment units) or approximately 50 percent. Areas adjacent to Summerwood Loop are on the opposite side of the road from the apartments. It is therefore assumed that residents within Zone 5 will use the path more often as a route of travel as those outside of Zone 5. Some residents will also use the path from outside the zone including residents using it as a safe route to school. For areas adjacent to the Iron Horse Trail it is also anticipated that the majority of the pedestrians using the path will be from within Zone 5 but with significant users from the apartment area and other users from outside the Zone including students going to school. The general benefit points can therefore be determined using a ratio of 33 percent for both areas.
The apportionment of benefit points to motorists was established by assuming the great majority of traffic on minor streets is associated with Zone 5 dwelling units as opposed to passing traffic or traffic associated with the apartments. However, some traffic is due to drop-offs for school purposes and other reasons. Therefore, 10 percent of the benefit is assumed to be general benefit along

Packet Pg. 334 Attachment: B: DRAFT Landscaping & Lighting District No. 1984-1 FY 2023-24 Engineer’s Report (3966 : FY 2023/24 Operating and Capital
Fallview Street and near the Iron Horse Trail. For areas adjacent to Summerwood Loop the general benefit is taken as 50 percent to account for traffic from the apartments as well as other non-local traffic and drop offs for school.
The overall distribution of benefit points for the subareas in Zone 5 is summarized below. The total general and special benefit was calculated by totaling the benefit in each area and weighting by the size of the landscaped subareas. The subareas belonging to the HOA are not included in the maintenance. Any landscaped areas along Springfield Drive will not be maintained with Zone 5 funds and for the purposes of calculating general benefit are assumed to be 100 percent general benefit. The capital costs listed below are from Zone 5 and do not include capital costs to be paid for from non-zone funds.

Special Zone 19 (Glass House) Assessment Methodology
The assessment methodology for Special Zone 19 is different from that of the other 18 zones.
Zone 19 is comprised of three (3) parcels totaling 30.734 acres located in the southwest portion of the City on San Ramon Valley Boulevard. The three (3) property owners consist of City of San Ramon (City), First Baptist Church of Dublin-San Ramon (Church), and American Baptist Homes of the West (Valley Vista). Like other Special Zones within the City’s Landscaping & Lighting District, this Zone is financially responsible for the maintenance and operation of improvements in the immediate vicinity. These public improvements generally include a parking lot, driveway, handicap ramp, and associated landscaping and lighting that were constructed by Valley Vista as a part of their Conditions of Approval, and service the three (3) parcels.
The total operation, maintenance and servicing costs for the driveway maintenance, parking area maintenance, handicap ramp maintenance, landscaping maintenance and lighting operation are apportioned in accordance with a methodology that is consistent with standard assessment engineering practices.
In order to determine an equitable allocation to each parcel, the improvements listed above have been broken down into discrete maintenance components and a benefit spread methodology has been created for each.
Driveway Maintenance
There is a 7,610 square- foot driveway that accesses San Ramon Valley Boulevard and services each of the three (3) properties. The driveway maintenance cost is estimated to be $3,130.66 annually (in 2009 dollars) and includes sidewalks, storm drains, lighting, street sweeping, and signage. The standard method used to allocate the driveway maintenance costs to the three (3) benefiting parcels was based on the vehicle traffic received by each property.
Projected traffic was estimated based on the total number of parking spaces allocated to each parcel. There are a total of 121 parking spaces allocated to the three (3) parcels (20 for the City, 39 for the Church, and 62 for Valley Vista). Therefore, the $3,130.66 will be allocated as $517.46 (16.53%) to the City, $1,009.06 (32.23%) to the Church, and $1,604.14 (51.24%) to Valley Vista.
Parking Lot Maintenance
As a Condition of Approval for Valley Vista, they built a 17-stall parking area that services two (2) of the three (3) properties (City and Church parcels). The Valley Vista parcel does not use the parking lot. The parking lot has restricted usage of 14 hours each day between the hours of 6:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. This parking lot is used for overflow parking from the City parcel and the Church parcel. The Church parcel has a restricted easement that allows them to use the parking lot for 4 hours each Sunday. The parking lot maintenance is $3,903 annually (in 2009 dollars) and includes pavement maintenance, parking stall marking, sweeping, storm drains, and sidewalks. The standard method used to allocate the parking lot maintenance to the two (2) benefitting parcels was based on the total number of hours used by each property owner. It is estimated there are 112 total parking hours (16 hours/day x 7 days). It is assumed that the City will use the parking lot 108 hours per week and the Church will use the parking lot 4 hours per week. Valley Vista will not use the parking lot. Therefore, the $3,903 is allocated as $3,763.60 (96.43%) to the City, $139.39 (3.57%) to the Church, and $0 to Valley Vista.
Handicap Ramp
5.4.b
Packet Pg. 337 Attachment: B: DRAFT Landscaping & Lighting District No. 1984-1 FY 2023-24 Engineer’s Report (3966 : FY 2023/24 Operating and Capital
A bus stop was constructed along San Ramon Valley Boulevard adjacent to and accessible to the three (3) properties. A handicap ramp was not required to access the properties but was built by Valley Vista to enhance access to their property. The handicap ramp is approximately 1,400 square feet and maintenance is estimated to be $3,542.75 annually (in 2009 dollars).
The maintenance of the handicap ramp only includes surface improvements such as concrete, handrails, lighting, and storm drains (it does not include any subsurface improvements). Since the handicap ramp was built to enhance the Valley Vista property, 100% of the maintenance is the responsibility of Valley Vista.
Landscape Maintenance
Approximately 5,800 square feet of landscaping improvements were installed adjacent to the parking area. The landscaping improvement maintenance requirements include tree maintenance and replacement, shrub ground cover m ai n t e n an ce and replacement, irrigation, utilities (such as water and electricity), and the replacement of irrigation controllers. The annual maintenance cost is approximately $2,711 (in 2009 dollars). It has been agreed upon by the three (3) property owners that the total cost of maintaining the landscaping will be 100% allocated to the City parcel.
In summary, the total costs of the maintenance represented above are $13,811 annually (in 2009 dollars). Based upon the above calculations, the City is responsible for approximately 52.7%, the Church is responsible for approximately 8.6% and Valley Vista is responsible for approximately 38.7%.
It should be noted that, prior to the formation of Zone 19, the three parcel owners were responsible for paying the Zone 1 and Zone 2 assessments. Each parcel owner will continue to pay those assessments in addition to the Zone 19 assessment.
Assessment Range
The per-unit ranges for all zones are determined by estimating the costs for the current year at the time the range is established and dividing the costs by the number of unit factors estimated for that year. This per-unit cost becomes the bottom of the range. The top of the range is determined by estimating the costs at the end of a five-year period and dividing that number by the number of expected unit factors at that time.
VIII. REVENUES AND EXPENDITURES
Charts in Appendix F provide a summary of the proposed zone budgets for FY 2023/24, FY 2022/23 projected year- end revenues and expenditures, FY 2022/23 adopted budget, and the actual FY 2021/22 Landscaping & Lighting District revenues and expenditures. The total FY 2023/24 proposed budget for the Landscaping & Lighting District is $3,746,731. The distribution of costs between assessable properties is determined by the Assessment Methodology described in Section VII of this Report.
IX. ASSESSMENT ROLL
The following is a summary of information included in the Assessment Roll that because of its bulk is filed separately with the City Clerk. According to the Landscaping and Lighting Act, the

CITY OF SAN RAMON
LANDSCAPING & LIGHTING DISTRICT GUIDELINES
TRANSFER OF LANDSCAPING MAINTENANCE RESPONSIBILITIES FROM PRIVATE
PROPERTY OWNER(S)/DEVELOPERS TO THE CITY OF SAN RAMON FOR AREAS
ADJACENT TO THE PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY
From time to time private property owner(s), Homeowners' Associations, or developers request that the City assume maintenance of existing private property, it is important to establish procedural guidelines for the assumption of such responsibilities. These guidelines are:
New Development
1. If the owner(s)/developer of a new development wishes to have an area maintained by the City, discussions will be initiated with the City during the planning review process.
2. The owner(s)/developer shall provide area and landscaping information to the City so that the City can develop maintenance cost estimates and the corresponding assessment amount.
3. After the City determines the assessment amount, including an assessment range or inflation factor, the owner(s)/developer shall petition the City in writing to request formation of a Special Landscaping & Lighting District or Special Zone within the existing Landscaping & Lighting District. This petition shall be in conformance with the Right to Vote on Taxes Act (Proposition 218).
4. Following review and confirmation of the petition, the City shall conduct a public hearing and an election of the owner(s) in accordance with the Landscaping and Lighting Act and the Right to Vote on Taxes Act. The Public Hearing and election shall occur prior to the approval (vesting) of the development with Conditions of Approval. The assessment may only be levied if there is not a majority protest and a majority of the ballots weighted according to the proportional financial obligation of the affected property, are in favor of the proposal.
5. The owner(s)/developer can proceed to obtain City development approval designating the area(s) to be conveyed to and maintained by the City on appropriate development maps and plans.

8. Properties will be assessed upon inclusion of the parcels on the Assessment Roll by the County Assessor's Office.
BENEFIT METHODOLOGY
According to the Landscaping and Lighting Act, the assessment "may be apportioned by any formula or method, which fairly distributes the new 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" (Streets and Highways Code, Section 22573). Under the Right to Vote on Taxes Act, only special benefits are assessable.
Citywide Assessment
The Citywide assessment was confirmed by a majority vote for Measure K during the November 1996 elections. Measure K provides for a continuation of the $53 per unit per year Citywide Assessment through June 1998. On July 1, 1998, the Citywide assessment increased to $59 per unit per year.
On July 11, 2006, the City Council approved Resolution No. 2006-106 adopting the new rate of $79 per unit for FY 2006/07, which includes an annual adjustment based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI) not to exceed 2%.
The Citywide Assessment provides for street lighting and three categories of landscaping:
Category 1 - Bishop Ranch Area
Landscaping maintenance within the Bishop Ranch area is governed by their Annexation Agreement to the City of San Ramon.
Category 2 - Arterial Medians
Medians along arterials are the responsibility of the City and will be maintained at a standard determined by the City. Arterials are: Crow Canyon Road, Bollinger Canyon Road (between Crow Canyon Road and Alcosta Boulevard), San Ramon Valley Boulevard, Alcosta Boulevard, Dougherty Road, Village Parkway, Fostoria Way, and Old Ranch Road.
Category 3 - Arterial Roadsides
Roadsides along arterials are the shared responsibility of the City and the adjacent private development – 30% of the cost for arterial roadsides is included within the Citywide Assessment while the remaining 70% is included within the special zone assessments described below. This shared responsibility is based upon the following factors:
a. Enhanced landscaping along arterial roadsides provides special benefit to both the City and the adjacent property owners.
b. Portions of the landscaped arterial roadside areas were previously maintained by the adjacent development, or private property owners, and were then deeded over to the City for maintenance.
5.4.b
Packet Pg. 347 Attachment: B: DRAFT Landscaping & Lighting District No. 1984-1 FY 2023-24 Engineer’s Report (3966 : FY 2023/24 Operating and Capital c. Arterial roadside landscaping was originally installed as part of the private development. d. In some cases, landscaped arterial roadside areas provide special benefit by serving as an entry statement into the private development area.
Confirmation of the Citywide Assessment was based on the methodology as prescribed in the FY 1996/97 Engineer's Report for the City of San Ramon Landscaping & Lighting District 1984-1.
As a result, the methodology did not include the assessment of any public agency properties for the Citywide Assessment. Starting in FY 2006/07 public agencies including fire stations, schools (both public and private), churches, and city owned facilities will be assessed using the commercial/institutional methodology. The methodology for nonresidential, commercial, and industrial properties remains consistent with the FY 1996/97 Engineer's Report.
Special Zone Assessments
Special zone assessments provide for landscaping and maintenance of landscaping in two categories:
Category 1 - Arterial Roadside
Roadsides along arterials are the shared responsibility of the City and the adjacent private development. The special zone assessments provide for 70% of the cost of arterial roadsides.
Category 2 - Other Areas
Public medians, parkways, public open space and roadsides other than arterial medians and arterial roadsides provide a special benefit to and are the responsibility of the private development adjacent to such landscaping. Therefore, all costs associated with these areas are provided by the special zone assessment.
City services for the landscaping or the maintenance of these two categories will be assessed on a benefit basis against properties through the creation of a special zone. The special assessment zone will be defined by either the boundaries of the specific subdivision requesting the maintenance or by the District Engineer who will determine special benefit.
Currently, there are 17 special zones:
1. Special Zone 3 - Canyon Lakes 10. Special Zone 12 - El Nido
2. Special Zone 4 - Vista San Ramon 11. Special Zone 13 - Crown Ridge
3. Special Zone 5 - Summerwood Loop 12. Special Zone 14 - Four Oaks
4. Special Zone 6 - West Branch 13. Special Zone 15 - Circle E
5. Special Zone 7 - Bent Creek 14. Special Zone 16 - Thomas Ranch
6. Special Zone 8 - Deerwood 15. Special Zone 17 - Henry Ranch
7. Special Zone 9 - Country View 16. Special Zone 18 - Old Ranch Summit
8. Special Zone 10 - Old Ranch Estates 17. Special Zone 19 - Glass House
9. Special Zone 11 - Village Parkway

FINANCE COMMITTEE STAFF REPORT
DATE: April 24, 2023
TO: Finance Committee/City Manager
FROM: Maria Fierner, Public Works Director
By: Jon Bell, Public Works Program Manager
SUBJECT: Update of the Preserve Landscaping and Lighting Assessment District
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Preserve Landscaping and Lighting Assessment District (District) is a District formed in 2018 for the purpose of maintaining public landscaping and lighting improvements associated with The Preserve Development. Most of the improvements have now been constructed and are anticipated to be accepted by the City of San Ramon (City) starting in the near future. Costs for FY 2023/24 have been based on estimates provided by contractors and staff and include efforts related to the establishment period. Use of reserves accumulated from past years when little maintenance was required will help offset assessment costs. It is anticipated that all units will be assessable this year. The District will assess those properties that are currently assessable in order to cover the cost of that maintenance. The Public Hearing is set for May 23, 2023.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends that the Finance Committee review the staff report and provide comments.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
District Formation
The Preserve Landscaping and Lighting Assessment District was formed on March 13, 2018, through the adoption of Resolution No. 2018-033, to fund the proposed public landscaping program associated with The Preserve (Faria) Development. Property owners within the District will pay an annual assessment to fund the maintenance of public landscaping. Such maintenance is performed through a combination of City staff and contractors.

All improvements to be maintained by the District in FY 2023/24 will be constructed by The Preserve developer per the approved project plans and will be transferred for ownership to the City. The new improvements will consist of landscape, irrigation, hardscape, a walking path, and
5.5 Packet Pg. 370
related improvements located along Faria Preserve Parkway with improvements located on Purdue Road and Bollinger Canyon Road, immediately adjacent to the project. The timing of acceptance of these improvements is governed by the developer’s schedule but, it is anticipated that most of the improvements will be accepted for ownership and maintenance by the City in late FY 2022/23 and early in FY 2023/24.
Cost of Maintenance
The cost of maintenance, annualized replacement cost of the improvements, and the cost of administration of the District were estimated as presented in the Engineer’s Report that was prepared for the formation of the District.
Anticipated expenditures for FY 2023/24 are difficult to determine, as the extent of improvements that will be completed by the developer and accepted by the City for maintenance is unknown. However, based on discussions with the developer, it is anticipated that most of the improvements will be accepted for ownership and maintenance by the City in late FY 2022/23 and early in FY 2023/24. Therefore, the annual costs were budgeted assuming that the City would be responsible for the maintenance of all the improvements for most of the year. The estimated costs and budget are summarized below:
DESCRIPTION COSTS
Annual Operation, Maintenance and Contingency Costs (O&M) $167,916.22 Less: General Benefit Contribution (7.92%) (13,298.96)
Total Assessable (Direct) Costs $154,617.26
Indirect Costs (Tax Roll Fees, Administration) $8,067.15 Use of Excess Reserve ($57,880.87)
Total Maximum Costs that can be Assessed $104,803.54
Assessment
The initial maximum assessment for the District was set at $363.13 per benefit point. This can be adjusted by the greater of 2% or the Consumer Price Index for the San Francisco Bay Area, All Urban Consumers. This year, the applicable inflation rate was 5.30%. Therefore, a 5.30% increase has been applied. The current maximum assessment that can be levied is $422.16.
Single-family homes will be assessed one benefit point and townhome condominiums will be assessed 0.75 benefit points.
Not all of the actual costs may be assessed. A certain fraction of the benefits of the improvements is deemed to be of general benefit to the community as a whole and is not assessable. Analysis done for the original Engineer’s Report determined that this benefit was
7.92%. Therefore, the total cost to be assessed for FY 2022/23 is equal to 92.08% of the $167,916.22 annual costs or $154,617.26, plus fees and administration costs for a total of
5.5 Packet Pg. 371
$162,684.41. However, due to the accumulation of reserves as a result of the limited activity by the City, and rounding down, it is recommended that the actual amount to be assessed this year be reduced to $104,800.
New units are being rapidly constructed within the District boundaries. Lots with foundations poured prior to the end of FY 2022/23 will be included in the FY 2023/24 tax roll. The number of foundations poured within the timeframe described is unknown at this time. At this time staff anticipates that all the units to be constructed as part of The Preserve project will be assessable in FY 2023/24. This totals 524 benefit points that will be assessed at an assessment rate of $200.00.
This will result in revenue of $104,800.
Future Reserve Study Update
As improvements are completed and accepted for maintenance by the City, actual costs of maintenance and administration will become clearer. In addition, appropriate reserves for nonroutine maintenance and replacement of improvements will be accumulated. The amount of money that needs to be expended in any given year and the required reserves will be tracked and presented to the Finance Committee and City Council in annual updates to a Reserve Fund Study and in the annual Engineer’s Report.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
The Engineer’s Report will be the basis for the assessment of parcels located within The Preserve Landscaping & Lighting Assessment District. The associated costs, as well as revenues from this levy, will be presented to the City Council for review and will be included in the proposed FY 2023/24 Operating Budget and Capital Budget of the Five-Year Capital Improvement Program.
NEXT STEPS
1. On April 25, 2023, the City Council approves the Engineer’s Report for FY 2023/24, adopts a Resolution of Intention to levy and collect assessments for FY 2023/24, and sets a Public Hearing.
2. On May 23, 2023, the City Council conducts the Public Hearing, and adopts a Resolution confirming the diagram and assessments and levying the assessments for FY 2023/24.
3. Staff will file the final Engineer’s Report, together with the assessment roll and the assessment diagram, with the Contra Costa County Assessor’s Office by August 10, 2023.

INTRODUCTION
This Assessment Engineer’s Report that separates and quantifies the special and general benefits and assesses the proportional special benefit to fund a proposed landscaping program containing decorative planting, irrigation, minor hardscaping, a walking path and pedestrian improvements within the proposed The Preserve Landscape and Lighting Assessment District (hereafter referred to as the “District”). Article XIID Section 4 of the Constitution of the State of California (“Proposition 218”) and recent court rulings have made clear the importance of separating and quantifying the special and general benefits and supporting that quantification with evidence and analysis.
IMPROVEMENTS
Location of District and Improvements
The District will provide ongoing funding for a landscaping program containing decorative planting, irrigation, hardscaping, a walking path and pedestrian improvements. The proposed District area was annexed into the City by LAFCO Resolution 08-27 on February 11, 2009. The Faria Preserve is generally located north of Deerwood Drive and Deerwood Road, east of Bollinger Canyon Road and west of Omega Road.
The improvements are located along a section of Purdue Road, a section of Bollinger Canyon Road, a section of Omega Road, and along Faria Preserve Parkway.
The Preserve project plans containing detailed information as to the exact description and location of the improvements are on file with the City. All improvements to be maintained by the District are located in the public right of way and exclude those fences, gates, screen walls and existing retaining walls on Purdue Road and those improvements to be maintained by The Preserve Home Owners Association(s) and those elements to be maintained by the Landscaping and Lighting District 1984-1.
Landscaping Program
The Landscaping Program provides year-round maintenance and management services. Landscape improvements include trees, shrubs and decorative plantings together with an irrigation system containing controllers, valves and booster pumps. Hardscape improvements include decorative paving, retaining walls and a DG walking path. The walking path improvements include sitting benches, trash receptacles and drinking fountains.
Services include routine maintenance of the landscape and hardscape improvements. Landscape services include pruning, trimming, irrigation, fertilization, repair and replacement of the improvements. Hardscape services include repair, painting, cleaning, graffiti removal, replacement of the improvements, regular trash removal and all utilities.
The landscaping will be installed in order to create a common theme and neighborhood identity for parcels within the District.
Overhead
In addition to the costs to maintain and service the District improvements mentioned above, the City will incur costs for staff time and expense related to the programs mentioned above, as well as the management of the District. Staff time includes oversight and coordination of both City and contractor provided services, annual tax roll preparation, and addressing property owner questions and concerns. These activities are
5.5.a
Packet Pg. 376 Attachment: A: The Preserve Landscaping and Lighting Assessment District FY 2023-24 Engineer’s Report (3964 : Update of the Preserve L&L
directly related to the District and improvements within the District, and without them, the improvements could not be efficiently completed or properly maintained on an ongoing basis.
ESTIMATE OF COSTS
The estimated costs of maintenance and servicing of the improvements as described in the previous section are summarized below. Each year, as part of the assessment district levy calculation process, the costs and expenses are reviewed and the annual costs are projected for the following fiscal year.
Annual Maintenance Cost Estimate
The table below Estimates the cost of the annual maintenance and servicing of all of the improvements in 2023 dollars based on the inflation adjusted original estimates for the district. These costs reflect the total cost for the District. This table reflects the orginal cost estimates adjusted for inflation That actual costs will be depended on the amount and timing of the turnover of improvements to the District and the type, amount and cost basis of work at the time. This table may be adjusted as actual date becomes available.
These costs reflect initial estimates and plant establishment efforts and as such vary from the intial estimates and are expected to change over time.
Item Cost
Staff $26,756
Contractors $49,012
Utilities $20,700
Materials $1,500
Yard and miscellaneous $4344

2023-2024 Costs
Anticipated expenditures for Fiscal Year 2023/24 remain difficult to determine, as the extent of improvements, which will be completed by the developer and accepted by the City for maintenance, is unknown. For FY 2022/23 staff assumed that 75% of the improvements would be turned over. However, as of the preparation of this report, no turn overs have occurred, although some acceptances are expected in the near future. As of the beginning of FY 2022/23, the District had a reserve balance of $272,950. The anticipated balance at the end of FY 2022/23 is $292,118. In order to be conservative, it has been assumed that all remaining improvements will be turned over to the City for maintenance during FY 2023/24. It is assumed that all of the units anticipated for the development will be assessable for FY 2023/24. During the current fiscal year reserves are expected to be in excess of those required. For that reason the actual assessment will be reduced from the maximum while continuing to set aside appropriate funds for long term replacement and operational needs.

SPECIAL AND GENERAL BENEFIT
Introduction
Pursuant to Article XIIID, all parcels that receive a special benefit conferred upon them as a result of the public improvements shall be identified, and the proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel shall be determined in relationship to the entire costs of the project. Furthermore, Article XIIID requires that the City separate the general benefit from special benefit, so that only the special benefit may be assessed.
Article XIIID, Section 4(a) of the California Constitution limits the amount of any assessment to the proportional special benefit conferred on the property. Article XIIID also provides that publicly owned properties within an assessment district must be assessed unless there is clear and convincing evidence that those properties receive no special benefit from the assessment. Examples of parcels which might be 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, public greenbelts, public parks and parkways and open space areas. At this time, there are parcels expected to develop within the District that would be exempt from the assessment, as they are planned public streets, open space, and park areas, which receive no special benefit from the improvements.
Identification of Benefit
The operation and maintenance of the improvements and necessary related administrative expenses the City will incur in obtaining and managing maintenance services will provide benefits to both those properties within the boundary of the District and to the community as a whole. The benefits conferred to property within the boundary of the District from the public improvements are described below. This report does not consider any general enhancement of property value.
AESTHETIC BENEFITS
Aesthetics, or the beautification of property, is a primary component of livability. Livability encompasses several qualities and characteristics that are unique to a specific area. The Victoria Transport Policy Institute (2011) expands on the concept of livability and the various benefits associated with that designation:
“The livability of an area increases property desirability and business activity. Livability is largely affected by conditions in the public realm, places where people naturally interact with each other and their community, including streets, parks, transportation terminals and other public facilities.
Livability also refers to the environmental and social quality of an area as perceived by employees, customers and visitors. This includes local environmental conditions, the quality of social interactions, opportunities for recreation and entertainment, aesthetics, and existence of unique cultural and environmental resources.”
The maintenance and servicing of the improvements increases the aesthetics, appearance and desirability of properties within the proposed boundaries of the District. The overall appeal of the District is enhanced when improvements are in place and kept in a healthy and satisfactory condition.
The maintenance of the improvements will provide and create a cohesive community identity that will serve to improve the livability within and helps define a positive urban character with the visual features of a destination community. This encourages the enjoyment of the neighborhood as well as promotes the maximum use of each area.
Conversely, appeal decreases when improvements are not well maintained, unsafe, or destroyed by the elements or vandalism. Upgraded and maintained amenities will enhance the appearance, desirability and “livability” of the property throughout the District.
5.5.a
Packet Pg. 379 Attachment: A: The Preserve Landscaping and Lighting Assessment District FY 2023-24 Engineer’s Report (3964 : Update of the Preserve L&L
PEDESTRIAN BENEFITS
Walking paths will be maintained and free from trash. These routinely maintained sidewalks will provide a year-round, aesthetically pleasing environment that will encourage pedestrian activity.
Regular maintenance and repair ensures that the improvements do not reach a state of deterioration or disrepair so as to be materially detrimental to properties adjacent to or in close proximity to the improvements within the proposed District. According to the Victoria Transport Policy Institute (2011), streetscapes have a significant effect on how people view and interact with their community. With streetscapes that are safe and inviting, people are more likely to walk, which can help reduce automobile traffic, improve public health and attract residents to the community.
Maintained walking improvements will enhance the local identity of the District, which will lead to a stronger and healthier community. The walking improvements including benches, water fountains and trash receptacles will establish continuity throughout the district. The walking improvements also provide an additional means to enjoy the landscaping improvements.
A survey conducted by DMB (an Arizona based commercial developer) found that there was a strong demand for communities characterized by pedestrian access, a sense of connection, and a sense of community and diversity (Urban Land Institute, 2006). According to the Urban Land Institute report “Creating Walkable Places: Compact Mixed-Use Solutions”, people want their neighborhoods to provide more opportunities to walk (Urban Land Institute, 2006). A survey sponsored by the Surface Transportation Policy Project found that 55% of respondents would like to walk more, 63% would like to run errands on foot and walk to stores, and 79% would like sidewalks and other places to walk and exercise (Urban Land Institute, 2006). The installation of the inter-connecting sidewalks improves the livability and appeal for the properties.
SECURITY AND SAFETY BENEFITS
A recent study has found that after landscape improvements were installed, there was a 46% decrease in crash rates across urban arterial and highway sites and a second study reviewed found a 5% to 20% reduction in mid-block crashes after trees and planters in urban arterial roads were put in place. In addition, there is less graffiti, vandalism, and littering in outdoor spaces with natural landscapes than in comparable plant-less spaces (Wolf, 2010). As residents are active in their neighborhoods there is a proportional reduction in crime as these neighborhoods become more cohesive, self-aware, and self-policing.
Further, by including landscaping in the central portion of streets, this will discourage pedestrians from cutting across the streets and encourage the use of designated pedestrian crossings. The Victoria Transport Policy Institute (2011) has found that streetscapes reduce traffic speeds, and when combined with improved pedestrian crossing conditions, can significantly reduce collisions.
According to the Federal Highway Administration (“FHWA”), sidewalks and walking trails reduce roadway accidents, including pedestrian/motor vehicle accidents. In addition, roadways without sidewalks are more than twice as likely to have pedestrian involved accidents compared to sites with sidewalks on both sides of the street (FHWA, n.d.). In 2008, the National Traffic Safety Administration’s (“NHTSA”) National Pedestrian Crash Report identified California as one of the states with the highest number of pedestrian deaths (NHTSA, 2008).
The maintained improvements will provide an increased level of safety to the property, residents, and visitors to the District. Convenient and safe pedestrian access is a critical component to the establishment of a community. Well-maintained and clean sidewalks and walking trails provide a separation between vehicle and pedestrian as well as property and pedestrian, which provides a safety benefit for both property and pedestrian. Safety for pedestrians involves not only a degree of protection from vehicular accidents, but also from criminal activity. Well-maintained areas mitigate crime, especially vandalism, and enhance pedestrian and vehicular safety.
5.5.a
Packet Pg. 380 Attachment: A: The Preserve Landscaping and Lighting Assessment District FY 2023-24 Engineer’s Report (3964 : Update of the Preserve L&L
The U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration (FHWA, n.d.) notes that annually, around 4,500 pedestrians are killed in traffic crashes with motor vehicles in the United States. Pedestrians killed while "walking along the roadway" account for almost 8 percent of those deaths. Providing safe walkways separated from the travel lanes could help to prevent up to 88 percent of these "walking along roadway” crashes.
Separation of General Benefit
Section 4 of Article XIIID of the California Constitution provides that once a local agency which proposes to impose assessments on property has identified those parcels that will have special benefits conferred upon them and upon which an assessment will be imposed, the local agency must next “separate the general benefits from the special benefits conferred,” and only the special benefits can be included in the amount of the assessments imposed. A general benefit is an overall and similar benefit to the public at large resulting from the maintenance and operation of the improvements to be provided by the assessments levied.
The maintenance of the improvements will provide improved aesthetic, pedestrian and safety benefits to property within the District, but it is recognized that the maintenance activities will also provide a level of benefit to some property within proximity to the District, as well as visitors and individuals passing through the District. This is considered to be a general benefit that cannot be funded by District assessments.
Pedestrian and vehicular traffic from property within and outside of the District, as well as individuals passing through the District area will utilize and enjoy the maintained improvements. Therefore, the general benefit created as a result of District maintenance activities must be considered.
The maintenance of the improvements will also provide a level of improved aesthetic, pedestrian and safety benefits to pedestrians and vehicles that will travel through the District to access properties outside of the District boundaries. Further, non-resident pedestrians may take advantage of the clean and safe areas and incorporate the area into their fitness routine as part of the overall route travelled. These activities create general benefit that is required to be separated and quantified as shown below.
Quantification of General Benefit
The amount of general benefit that is provided from the District activities cannot be funded via property owner assessments within the District. In order for property within the District to be assessed only for that portion of special benefit received from the District maintenance and service activities, general benefits provided by the ongoing maintenance of the improvements needs to be quantified.
The District is projected to consist of a variety of property land uses, including 296 single family residential parcels, 304 condominium units, a house of worship and approximately 220 acres used for non-residential purposes, including open space, recreational and public property. Properties within the District are classified to a land use category according to the assigned land use code as shown on the County Assessor’s latest secured property tax roll.
As a result of the maintenance activities, there will be a level of general benefit to traffic and/or pedestrians that do not live in or intend to conduct business within the District. This general benefit, serving as a pass through corridor or destination for traffic and/or pedestrians, needs to be quantified. The identified benefits provided by the maintenance of the improvements include beautification of the area, pedestrian benefits and security/safety benefits. Each of these benefits must be considered and quantified.
General Benefit Portion of Improved Aesthetic Benefits
The automotive traffic, generated from property outside of the District, which may pass though the District and enjoy the maintained improvements must be estimated. The AECOM Final Transportation Impact Analysis was prepared in August 2013 for the Faria Preserve project (the “Traffic Study”).
5.5.a
Packet Pg. 381 Attachment: A: The Preserve Landscaping and Lighting Assessment District FY 2023-24 Engineer’s Report (3964 : Update of the Preserve L&L
The Traffic Study analyzed trips generated by the Faria development and the impact of those trips on the surrounding transportation infrastructure. The Traffic Study projected trips generated by the Faria project and trips generated by the non-project area to estimate the total trip loads on selected intersections. By comparing the Project Trip Assignments with the Cumulative (2030) Plus Project Intersection Traffic Volumes and Geometry it was found that no through traffic was calculated to pass through the Faria development. However, the Traffic Study was based upon a roadway configuration that differs from the current development plan. The difference is the Eastern connection of Faria Parkway formerly connected to Deerwood Road (Intersection “A”) and now it will connect to Purdue Road. In order to allow for potential through traffic trips due to the roadway configuration change, it is estimated that 5% of the total traffic trips passing the improvements will be from sources outside the District (through and/or destination traffic) and thereby will enjoy an aesthetic benefit from their maintenance.
General Benefit Portion of Improved Pedestrian Benefits The pathways connect the neighborhoods with open space and park areas. The walking paths create recreational and fitness opportunities as well as develop a sense of community. There will be pedestrian traffic, generated from property outside of the District, which may utilize the maintained walking paths in the District and access property located outside of the District boundaries. Pedestrians may also incorporate the walking paths into their leisure and fitness routines, thus making the District walking paths serve as a pass through portion of their overall route travelled.
The park and open space associated with the Faria development will draw people from outside the district who will enjoy the pedestrian benefits. The walking paths maintained by the District are a subset of the entire sidewalk, walking path and foot trail system planned for the Faria development open space and park parcels.
The 13.6-acre park associated with the Faria development is approximately 3.3% of the City’s total park acreage. The 190 acres of open space is approximately 8.2 % of the City’s total open space area. The location of the project area is distant from the residential core of the City and as evidenced by the Traffic Study, minimal through traffic is anticipated to travel through the area. However, as a pedestrian recreational destination area, there is an expectation of a higher percentage of out of District pedestrian use relative to total pedestrian use. The out of District (General Benefit) percentage of use is estimated at 1/8 or 12.5% of pedestrians enjoying the District improvements.
General Benefit Portion of Improved Security &Safety Benefits The improvements will provide improved security and safety to persons and property. The identified benefits to property (reduced graffiti, vandalism and littering) are localized and therefore limited to the property within the District. 0.0% General Benefit is estimated to accrue to property outside the District. The safety and security general benefit to persons is proportional to the pedestrian benefit estimated for those outside the District, or 12.5%. The General Benefit for persons and property are averaged to produce an estimated General Benefit of 6.25% for improved security and safety.
Collective District-wide General Benefit
Since the District is comprised of improved aesthetics, pedestrian and increased safety and security benefits resulting from a blend of improvements, the activity of both pedestrians and vehicles must be addressed in a collective form rather than independently. Therefore, the average of the general benefit percentages has been used to quantify the overall level of general benefit for the District. This general benefit result is provided in the table below:

The general benefit, which is the percentage of the total budget (excluding District administrative costs), that must be funded through sources other than assessments is 7.92%. The special benefit then, which is the percentage of the budget that may be funded by assessments, is 92.08%.
Apportioning of Special Benefit
As outlined in Section 5.2, each of the parcels within the District receives a special benefit from the improvements. Each parcel that has a special benefit conferred upon it, as a result of the maintenance and operation of improvements, is identified and the proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel is determined in relationship to the entire costs of the maintenance and operation of the improvements.
The total costs of maintenance and operation, less the amount of general benefit identified, will be assessed to the parcels within the District based on the benefit points assigned to each parcel. This Section provides a detailed breakdown of the assigned benefit points described herein. To assess special benefit appropriately, it is necessary to relate parcels of different land use, intensity of use, size, location, and proximity to improvements. The City has a well-established Assessment Factoring Methodology that has considered the proportional benefit received by all property types in the City for landscaping and lighting improvements.
Each parcel’s land use is a factor that differentiates parcels based on the benefit received from the improvements within the District. Parcels with residential land use are the basis for assigning benefit points for the maintenances and service activities.
Common areas, roads and easements are deemed to receive no benefit from the District maintenance activities because they serve as connectors for other properties and do not receive benefit from the increased aesthetics, security and safety or pedestrian benefits. Utility parcels are also deemed to not benefit from the maintenance of the improvements.
The following table provides the benefit points assigned to each land use category of parcels within the District.

Data Considerations and Parcel Changes
The use of the latest Assessor’s Secured Roll information has been and shall be used in the future as the basis in determining each parcel’s land use category and acreage, unless better data was or is available to the City. In addition, if any parcel within the District is identified by the Auditor/Controller to be an invalid parcel number, the land use category, residential dwelling units, and acreage of the subsequent valid parcels shall serve as the basis in assigning parcel factor special benefit points.
Special Considerations: Publicly Owned Parcels
Any publicly owned parcels that benefit from the improvements cannot be exempt from the assessment.
The special benefits accruing to these types of parcels must be determined using the same kind of formulas and benefit point assignment as applied to privately owned parcels. This requirement is clearly conveyed in Article XIII D, Section 4(a) of the California Constitution, which states in part, “... Parcels within a district that are owned or used by any agency, the State of California or the United States shall not be exempt from assessment unless the agency can demonstrate by clear and convincing evidence that those publicly owned parcels in fact receive no special benefit.” No publicly owned parcels have been categorized and assigned benefit units using the same methodology as privately owned parcels, based on their land use as shown on the County Assessor’s latest secured property tax roll.

METHOD OF ASSESSMENT
Balance to be Assessed
It is anticipated that approximately all of the improvements will be completed and accepted by the end of the fiscal year. Therefore, the estimated annual maintenance and replacement costs budgeted reflect ownership of all of the improvements for most of the year.
The general benefit, which is the percentage of the total budget, excluding incidental costs, which must be funded through sources other than assessments, is 7.92% of the total project cost. The special benefit, which is the percentage of the budget that may be funded by assessments, is 92.08%.
Description

Amount
Estimated Annual Maintenance and Replacement Costs $167,916.22 Less: General Benefit Contribution (7.92%) -$13,298.96
Total Assessable Direct Costs $154,617.26
Incidental Costs (Tax Roll Fees and Administration) $8,067.15 Total Maximum Costs that can be Assessed $162,684.41
Maximum Annual Assessment Amount per Benefit Point and Annual Increase to the Maximum Annual Assessment
The assessment per benefit point was calculated at the time of formation of the District by dividing the total estimated costs to be assessed by the total benefit points assigned to the parcels within the District.
The maximum initial annual assessment was determined to be = $363.13 As of June 1 of each fiscal year after the base year (2018/2019), the maximum annual assessment (the “Maximum Annual Assessment”) shall be increased by the greater of 2% or the February Consumer Price Index for the San Francisco Bay Area, All Urban Consumers. It is specifically provided that the Maximum Annual Assessment shall be increased each fiscal year, computed on the previous fiscal year’s Maximum Annual Assessment. The actual annual assessment levied in any fiscal year may be less than, but shall not exceed the Maximum Annual Assessment, unless appropriate proceedings are conducted by the District to authorize any increase beyond the Maximum Annual Assessment. The applicable inflation rate for this year’s assessment is 5.30%. Therefore, a 5.30% increase has been applied.
The Maximum Annual Assessment that may be levied in FY 2023/2024 is $422.16 per Benefit Point.
The special benefit analysis and assignment of benefit points has been calculated in relation to the total costs to be assessed. No assessment will be imposed on any parcel that exceeds the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on the parcel.

ACTUAL ASSESSMENT TO BE LEVIED
The actual assessment to be levied is based on the Estimate of Costs, Special and General Benefit and Method of Assessment. For Fiscal Year 2023/24, the total estimated maximum assessable costs are $162,684.41. However, due the accumulation of reserves as a result of the limited activity by the City it is recommended that the actual amount to be assessed this year be reduced by $57,880.87. It is anticipated that 524 benefit points will be assessable as of June 30, 2023. Therefore, the per unit assessment will be $200.00 per benefit point (in order to avoid charging more than the estimated costs) with a total anticipated assessment of $104,803.54.

FINANCE COMMITTEE STAFF REPORT
DATE: April 24, 2023
TO: Finance Committee/City Manager
FROM: Maria Fierner, Public Works Director
By: Kerry Parker, Public Works Program Manager
SUBJECT: Proposed Stormwater Program Budget for FY 2023/24
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Stormwater Program continues to operate under the maximum allowable assessment rate of $35 per Equivalent Runoff Unit (ERU) while continuing to meet new requirements imposed by the Municipal Regional Stormwater NPDES Permit (MRP). An updated MRP (MRP 3.0) went into effect on July 1, 2022, and includes a broader set of requirements that increases the City’s operational costs. The Stormwater Fund will have a very low fund balance at the end of this Fiscal Year (FY) and is projected to be fully depleted in FY 2024/25, requiring contributions from the General Fund.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends that the Finance Committee review the proposed Stormwater Program Budget for FY 2023/24 and provide comments to staff.
BACKGROUND
Urban stormwater runoff has been identified as a major source of pollutants to the waters of the United States including San Francisco Bay. As a result, the Federal Environmental Protection Agency established regulations governing stormwater pollution that became effective on November 16, 1990. In California, the Regional Water Quality Control Board enforces the federal regulations through its nine (9) regional boards. The San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) requires that Contra Costa County and the cities within the County submit a joint application for a stormwater permit on an annual basis through an MRP.
Permit requirements are typically updated every five (5) years.
In order to maintain stormwater facilities and meet the requirements of the MRP, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 93-15, authorizing the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors to direct the Contra Costa Flood Control District (District) to form a Stormwater Utility Area (SUA) for San Ramon and establish a $23 per ERU annual assessment for FY 1993/94. In addition, a maximum limit of $35 per ERU was set.
5.6 Packet Pg. 394
The City Council then adopted Resolution No. 93-116, approving the formation of the SUA within San Ramon and establishing a Program Group Costs Payment Agreement with the District. This Agreement allows the District to collect the annual assessment from San Ramon properties through the County Assessor's Office and for the disbursement of funds. Per this Agreement, the City must determine annually by May 1st the assessment per ERU for the forthcoming fiscal year and, by City Council Resolution, requests that the District adopt stormwater utility assessments based on the unit assessments. The County Board of Supervisors conducts the Countywide public hearing for the adoption of stormwater assessments in June. The County then collects the established stormwater assessment on the County property tax rolls.
In May 2012, the Contra Costa Clean Water Program sponsored an initiative to create a propertyrelated fee to fund stormwater activities Countywide. Based on a $22 per parcel fee, an estimated $616,489 would have been generated annually in San Ramon; however, this measure failed.
The City’s Stormwater Program is comprised of two components: the Countywide Program (CCCWP) and the San Ramon Stormwater Program. The Stormwater Program originally focused on storm drain and creek cleaning, street sweeping, public education, and inspection of private development construction sites. The CCCWP fulfills some of the RWQCB requirements on behalf of the members providing a cost savings for each participating municipality. Starting in FY 1996/97, the Program expanded into a Business Inspection Program, as required by the RWQCB. On February 19, 2003, the RWQCB amended the Contra Costa Countywide NPDES Permit to include treatment of stormwater runoff from new development and significant redevelopment projects.
DISCUSSION
Municipal Regional Permit (MRP)
On November 19, 2015, MRP 2.0 was formally adopted. Some of the significant actions mandated by the RWQCB in MRP 2.0 include:
Monitoring and abatement of PCBs and mercury.
Increased administration.
Development of Trash Management Plans.
Development and implementation of Green Infrastructure projects.
MRP 3.0 was adopted by the RWQCB on May 11, 2022, and became effective July 1, 2022.
New and revised provisions that are expected to impact San Ramon include:
New updates to the Green Infrastructure requirements, including provisions that a minimum of five (5) acres of impervious surface be treated by San Ramon. Requires storm drain system maps be updated.
Requires trash interception on private property or prior to discharge of stormwater into the municipal storm drain system or receiving waters.
Reduction of the triggering threshold to require C.3 (bioswale) treatment devices to 5,000 square feet for all projects.
5.6 Packet Pg. 395
Added utility trenching to road reconstruction requirements. o One (1) acre threshold of contiguous impervious surfaces o Large utility projects (e.g. one (1) acre is a one (1) mile trench about 8-feet wide) o Permittees are responsible for requiring utility compliance New monitoring and reporting requirements, including cost reporting. Firefighting foam discharge reporting.
Additional trash monitoring requirements.
Additional pollutant monitoring to be done at the County Program level.
These and other provisions will have varying impacts on the City and the City’s finances. Some items will be administered through the CCCWP in a relatively efficient manner but with impacts to the City’s contribution to the Program. Others may result in increased demands on staff time.
The City has already engaged in an effort to improve mapping of the City’s storm drain infrastructure through a combination of a PTAP grant, Citywide Drainage Infrastructure Projects (CIP 915548), and City GIS staff, which is substantially complete but will require continual updates and maintenance.
As noted above, MRP 3.0 includes stricter provisions for treating stormwater from existing City improvements such as streets. These provisions require that the City treat stormwater runoff when pavement reconstruction is undertaken. Pavement reconstruction is defined as removing the pavement surface to the aggregate base layer. The Permit requires that San Ramon treat a minimum of five (5) acres of impervious surface. The treatment methods are described in the City’s Green Infrastructure Plan (GI Plan). The cost for these improvements is difficult to estimate, and staff hopes to maximize compliance with Green Infrastructure requirements in conjunction with redevelopment. This, in conjunction with other concepts that have been evaluated by staff, will likely result in some increased costs to the City during this permit cycle, as potential pavement reconstruction will increase costs.
There are no new funding mechanisms from the state or federal governments to provide for implementation of the GI Plan.
Equivalent Runoff Unit Methodology
The Stormwater Program is funded through assessments based on ERUs (Attachment A). The Chief Engineer of the Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District is the Engineer of Work for the Stormwater Assessments. The methodology for assessments is based on impervious surface area, which in turn is related to parcel size and land use designation.
Impervious surfaces such as rooftops, patios, walkways, sidewalks, driveways, and parking areas are designed to channel stormwater to run off into the storm drain system. Stormwater washes pollutants that have accumulated on impervious surfaces into the system.
The ERU assessment is used to fund a diverse range of stormwater management and maintenance activities. These include:
storm drain and catch basin maintenance and cleaning; maintenance of flood control channels;
5.6 Packet Pg. 396
maintenance of the stormwater quality ponds in the Dougherty Valley; other trash load reduction efforts;
participation in the Contra Costa Clean Water Program (CCCWP); and compliance with various other requirements for monitoring and reporting that are contained in the City’s Municipal Regional Permit (MRP) issued by the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB), some of which are conducted jointly with other members of CCCWP.
Due to the increasing costs in providing these services, increasing requirements imposed on the City by the RWQCB through the MRP, and the failure of the 2012 Proposition 218-compliant vote to increase the ERU, the Stormwater Program Reserve Fund has been steadily decreasing.
In addition, CCCWP will experience increased costs in implementing collective provisions of MRP 3.0. This is expected to result in the Program’s financial reserves being completely exhausted by the end of the current permit cycle.
The City Council reaffirmed the maximum ERU rate of $35 on March 28, 2023 for FY 2023/24, Resolution No. 2023-033.
Funding Options
The maximum ERU rate has been in place for approximately 30 years. Two options for generating additional revenue to cover Stormwater Program costs are: 1) legislative action allowing local municipalities to treat stormwater programs as a utility similar to water, sewer, and waste management; or 2) a ballot initiative through the Proposition 218 process.
Another option is to support legislation to provide more options for municipalities to fund stormwater. On October 6, 2017, then Governor Brown signed SB-231 (Hertzberg) amending Section 53750 of the Government Code to define stormwater collection systems as a sewer under Proposition 218 subject to certain provisions. Key to the success of this approach was the need to pass judicial review to determine that the process was consistent with Proposition 218 requirements. It was contemplated at the time that a local jurisdiction would attempt to implement a fee under this provision and seek judicial review to confirm their ability to implement it. To date, neither the City nor CCCWP staff is aware that they or any other agency has successfully implemented such a fee.
As mentioned above, in May 2012, the Contra Costa Clean Water Program sponsored an initiative to create a property-related fee to fund stormwater activities Countywide. Based on a $22 per parcel fee, an estimated $616,489 would have been generated annually in San Ramon; however, this measure failed. The City may consider a property-related fee at a local level to address the shortfall in funding for the Stormwater Program, drainage maintenance, and flood control or any combination thereof. Staff currently anticipates that CCCWP will encourage another Countywide effort prior to the expiration of the current permit cycle due to the increasing costs on all members and the elimination of CCCWP’s financial reserves.
Lastly, staff is considering the value in independently taking an increased SUA to a ballot vote for all San Ramon property owners. As was the case in 2012, increased assessments across the
5.6 Packet Pg. 397
County may not gain property owner approval given the economic diversity of Contra Costa County. However, San Ramon moving alone toward such an adjustment may have an increased chance of passing given the stormwater quality standards of the current City Council. The timing of such a balloting process may be dependent on the health of the overall City budget in the next couple of years, and other potential revenue increasing measures.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
The proposed FY 2023/24 Stormwater Program Budget for the City of San Ramon is shown in (Attachment B).
San Ramon is estimating approximately 35,500 ERUs for FY 2023/24 compared to 35,386 for FY 2022/23. At the maximum rate of $35/ERU, the estimated revenue generated in FY 2023/24 will be $1,242,500. This is the 20th year that the City has assessed the maximum rate.
Budget Projection
The current projection indicates that the Fund will remain solvent through FY 2023/24, but is anticipated to be negative in FY 2024/25, assuming that the Program does not pay its normal share of overhead costs (Attachment C). Additionally, any revenue from ERU assessments from increased housing development may push this solvency out further.
NEXT STEPS
1. The Stormwater Program Budget will be incorporated into the FY 2023/24 Budget as part of the annual budget adoption process.
2. The Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors will conduct the Countywide Public Hearing for the adoption of the stormwater assessments in June 2023.

FINANCE COMMITTEE STAFF REPORT
DATE: April 24, 2023
TO: Finance Committee/City Manager
FROM: Kelly Sessions, Administrative Services Director
By: Candace Daniels, Finance Division Manager
SUBJECT: PARS Pension Stabilization Trust Statement for the Period Ending March 31, 2023
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends that the Finance Committee review and accept the PARS Pension Stabilization Trust Statement for the period ending March 31, 2023.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
Participation in the PARS Pension Stabilization Trust (PARS Trust) was approved by City Council on November 28, 2017 by Resolution No. 2017-128. The purpose of the PARS Trust was to pre-fund pension obligations to address unfunded liabilities and large variances in annual pension contributions. Before the PARS Trust was established, the City’s only option for reducing the unfunded pension liability was to commit additional funds to CalPERS.
Unfortunately, these additional funds would be subject to the same market volatility risk as the CalPERS investment rate of return. Pre-funding the pension obligations through the PARS Trust verses CalPERS offered the following benefits:
Provided local control and more flexibility in investment allocations compared to maintaining funds in a City-invested reserve or giving money to CalPERS to pay down unfunded liability
Offered potential for higher investment returns
Acted as a reserve fund to help the City pay for increasing CalPERS annual contribution requirements and helped mitigate General Fund budget spiking At the start of January 2023, the PARS Trust had a balance of $2,446,653. During this quarter, there were investment gains of $77,305, expenses of 3,006, and a withdrawal of $909,199, to fund pension obligations from January through June as approved in the FY 2022/23 adopted budget, which left an ending balance of $1,613,754 at March 31, 2023.

The dual goals of the Moderate Strategy are growth of principal and income. It is expected that dividend and interest income will comprise a significant portion of total return, although growth through capital appreciation is equally important.

FINANCE COMMITTEE STAFF REPORT
DATE: April 24, 2023
TO: Finance Committee/City Manager
FROM: Kelly Sessions, Administrative Services Director
By: Kelly Sessions, Administrative Services Director
SUBJECT: Approve Selection of Maze & Associates, Inc. for Professional Audit Services, for Fiscal Years 2022-23 through 2025-26 with an Option to Extend for Two Additional Years and Forward to City Council for Approval by Resolution
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Recommend selection of Maze & Associates to City Council for approval by resolution for professional audit services, including preparation of the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) and the Annual State Controller’s Office Report for Fiscal Years 2022-23 through 2025- 26 (four years) with an option to extend for two additional one-year periods in an amount not to exceed $450,145.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
State Law and prudent financial management require that the City retain the services of an independent certified public accounting firm to conduct an annual audit of the City. The purpose of an independent audit is to provide assurance to the City Council, the public and state regulatory agencies that the City financial statements fairly represent the financial condition of the City.
The City last conducted a Request for Proposal (RFP) in November 2019. At that time, Eide Bailly, LLP was selected as the audit firm and was granted a four-year contract with an opportunity to extend for two additional years at the City’s option. The City is currently in Year 3 of the contract, which expires on March 31, 2024. The contract allows the City to “terminate this Agreement immediately for cause or without cause upon giving thirty (30) calendar days written notice to Contractor.” The City intends to execute this option to terminate the agreement because of the firm’s failure to produce a timely 2021-22 ACFR. This action will require the City to arrange a contract with a new auditor.
Because of the shortened time frame, staff conducted an abbreviated RFP by contacting the five highest scoring firms from the 2019 RFP and inviting them to submit bids. The RFP was issued on March 1, 2023 with a due date of March 31, 2023. Three of the five firms responded with a
5.9 Packet Pg. 412
proposal, each of which was considered responsive to the RFP. The firms that responded to the RFP were all Certified Public Accountants and met the minimum qualifications to audit the City.
The Administrative Services Director, the Finance Division Manager and the Finance Program Manager evaluated and scored the proposals in order to identify the firm that best met the needs of the City. Each firm was scored using a variety of factors, including:
The firm’s past experience and performance on comparable government engagements. Quality of the firm's professional personnel to be assigned to the engagement and management personnel available for technical consultation. Thoroughness of the firm’s approach to conducting the audit and demonstration of their understanding of audit objectives and scope.
Evaluators also reviewed continuity of staff, pricing, and the number of hours proposed to be dedicated to the audit.
The evaluation team scored Maze & Associates and Badawi & Associates virtually identical with
9.5 and 9.4 out of 10.0 respectively, with Van Lant & Frankhanel ranking third at 8.7. Although Badawi offered the lowest not to exceed price, the group selected Maze for their superior experience, reputation and size and depth of staff, including more than double the number of audit partners. Maze also has the most experience working with larger Bay Area agencies and as the City’s auditors prior to Eide Bailly, staff feels that they would bring the most working experience and knowledge to the City and would be the easiest to get up to speed in short order, which is important in this instance.
Staff, therefore, recommends selection of Maze & Associates as best qualified to provide the necessary audit services, including preparation of the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report and the annual State Controller’s Report among others.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
Maze & Associates has proposed to perform audit services for the following fixed terms:
Year Fiscal Year Amount
1 FY 2022-23 $ 66,100
2 FY 2023-24 $ 69,445
3 FY 2024-25 $ 72,900
4 FY 2025-26 $ 76,600
5 FY 2026-27 $ 80,500
6 FY 2027-28 $ 84,600
Total Not to Exceed $450,145
The not to exceed rates shown above increase each year by approximately 5%, but Maze will only increase the actual rates based on the annual San Francisco/Bay Area CPI, and caps rate increases at 5%.
5.9 Packet Pg. 413
Total Year 1 cost of the contract is a not to exceed amount of $66,100. Funding for this contract has been included in the FY 2023-24 proposed budget.
STEPS FOLLOWING APPROVAL
Staff will present this selection to the full City Council on May 9, 2023 for their approval by resolution. If approved, staff will then prepare an agreement and forward to Maze & Associates for execution with the expectation that the process to audit fiscal year 2022-23 will begin in June 2023.
