EXECUTE AND SUBMIT CWSRF PLANNING APPLICATION
FOR SUMMIT CITY SEPTIC TO SEWER PROJECT
FILE NO.:
SUMMARY:
Staff recommends that City Council consider authorizing the City Manager to execute and submit planning grant and loan applications and related documents to the State Water Resources Control Board Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) for the design of the Summit City Septic to Sewer Project.
BACKGROUND:
At the City Council meeting on February 1, 2022, the Council approved Resolution CC2022-16 approving the execution of a Memorandum of Understanding between Shasta County and the City of Shasta Lake (City) for $250,000 of grant funding from the California Regional Early Action Planning Grant Program (REAP) through the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) for the purpose of completing a wastewater feasibility study for the Summit City area. The goal of the REAP program is to prioritize planning activities that support housing production needed to meet the needs of communities. Per the grant goals, the objective of the SCWWFS was to identify and develop feasible design alternatives to extend the City’s wastewater collection system to this area of the City.
Staff then issued a formal Request for Qualifications and Proposals (RFQ&P) on August 16, 2022, to prepare the Summit City Wastewater Feasibility Study (SCWWFS). Two (2) proposals were received, and the contract was awarded to PACE Engineering, Inc. of Redding, CA on October 18, 2022, via Resolution CC-2022-97.
At the City Council meeting on February 6, 2024, the Council approved Resolution CC2024-08, accepting the SCWWFS and directing staff to pursue grant opportunities to implement the Alternative 3 project as presented in the SCWWFS. 53 FISCAL IMPACTS:
The total grant amounted to be applied for is to be determined. PACE’s initial estimates are that the grant application amount is not to exceed $2,000,000.00. Staff and PACE will be working with the California State Water Resources Control Board to determine the final grant application amount. The project will be fully reimbursable through the grant process.

AMENDMENT TO RESOLUTION CC-2024-16 APPROVING AN
APPLICATION FOR FUNDING NOT TO EXCEED $6,750,000
AND THE EXECUTION OF A GRANT AGREEMENT FROM THE
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT MITIGATION
RESILIENCE INFRASTRUCTURE PROGRAM FOR THE
DESIGN, ENVIRONMENTAL, AND CONSTRUCTION OF A RAW
WATER STORAGE TANK
FILE NO.:
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council approve a resolution authorizing an application for funding not to exceed $6,750,000 and the execution of a grant agreement and any amendments thereto from the 2023-2024 funding year of the State Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Mitigation Resilience Infrastructure (MIT-RIP) Program for the design, environmental, and construction of a raw water storage tank at the Fisherman’s Point Water Treatment Plant.
BACKGROUND
In response to the California wildfires of 2018, resulting in the Carr, Mendocino Complex, Camp, and Woolsey Fires, on January 6, 2021, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) released Federal Register Notice 86 FR 561 that allocated an additional $64,907,000 of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) mitigation funds to the State of California. The California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) has dedicated approximately $40 million of those funds to create the Resilient Infrastructure Program (MIT-RIP). The purpose of the program is to assist 57 local jurisdictions and tribal entities with mitigation-related infrastructure needs to support risk reduction from the three primary hazards (wildfire, flooding, and earthquakes). The program prioritizes projects that benefit vulnerable and Low to Moderate-Income (LMI) populations as well as those located inside the Most Impacted and Distressed areas (MID).
HCD released a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) on November 14, 2023 for the 20172018 CDBG MIT-RIP program. The NOFA details the allocation of funding as follows:
The City of Shasta Lake, along with the City of Agoura Hills, City of Anderson, City of Calabasas, City of Chico, City of Gridley, City of Lakeport, City of Los Angeles, City of Oroville, City of Westlake Village, and qualified Tribal Entities are eligible to apply for the 20% Set Aside. Applications are first come, first served until all funds are expended, and no later than March 29, 2024. The Program Guidelines suggest a $2,500,000 cap on per-project funding. In a meeting with HCD on March 8, 2024, the MIT-RIP team expressed that the program is currently undersubscribed and recommended increasing the requested amount of funding and requesting an exemption for the program cap.
While the requested amount is not guaranteed approval, this strategy allows HCD to counter with an alternative amount if the full amount is not approved. There is also a 10% match required by the City.
Project Details
The City would like to apply for $6,750,000 in MIT-RIP funding for the design, environmental, and construction of a raw water storage tank at the Fisherman’s Point Water Treatment Plant. The City’s existing 170,000-gallon raw water storage tank is too small to buffer changes and/or interruptions in flow from the raw water pump station located at the base of Shasta Dam. The project would upsize the existing raw water storage tank with a new 1.6 Million-gallon tank, connecting to the future Centimudi water 58 storage tank, and increasing water storage capacity to support firefighting activities in the occurrence of a wildfire. The total project cost to complete the raw water storage tank is estimated at $7.5 Million. The City would apply for $6,750,000 of MIT-RIP funds and would be required to provide a 10% match of $750,000. This would alleviate the cost burden, which could potentially be passed on to the ratepayers of our low-income community.
FISCAL IMPACT
If funding is awarded, the City would be required to provide a 10% match towards the project. A supplemental appropriation to the budget would be brought to the City Council for review and approval.

SUBJECT: ESTABLISHMENT OF CHAPTER 2.10, “CITY ENGINEER” OF THE
CITY OF SHASTA LAKE MUNICIPAL CODE
FILE NO.:
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council conduct a first reading authorizing an Ordinance adding Shasta Lake Municipal Code Title 2 (Administration and Personnel), Chapter 2.10 “City Engineer.”
BACKGROUND
The City of Shasta Lake is a member of the Small Cities Organized Risk Effort (SCORE), a joint powers authority that acts as the City’s insurance pool and provides risk and claims management services.
The City is subject to claims and lawsuits where individuals can allege the presence of hazardous conditions on public property. For allegations and legal actions where harm is potentially attributed to a flawed or deficient design of a public infrastructure, the California Legislature has established a protection called "Design Immunity." This defense is codified in Government Code section 830.6, offering immunity in relevant circumstances, outlined as follows:
Neither a public entity nor a public employee is liable … for an injury caused by the plan or design of a construction of, or an improvement to, public property where such plan or design has been approved in advance of the construction or improvement by the legislative body of the public entity or by some other body or employee exercising discretionary authority to give such approval.
67 In January 2024, SCORE recommended that member cities review their ordinances to ensure that there is clear delegation of authority for the approval of plans, specifications, and designs to the proper public officer to exercise this discretionary authority for approval and preserve design immunity.
At the City of Shasta Lake, this public officer is the City Engineer. However, the Municipal Code does not currently clearly delegate this authority to that position. Therefore, it is recommended that Chapter 2.10, “City Engineer”, be added to Title 2 of the Shasta Lake.
The proposed ordinance is intentionally drafted for the purpose of permitting the City Engineer to exercise the authority to approve changes in plans, specifications or design in a multitude of ways. It permits the exercise of discretion by the City Engineer both in the office and in the field.
It further eliminates any argument that the exercise of authority to approve certain plans, specifications or designs could only be exercised by some formal act (i.e., stamping, signature).
Adoption of the ordinance will improve the City Attorney’s ability to advance the “design immunity” defense should a claim or lawsuit regarding public property arise.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF SHASTA LAKE AMENDING TITLE 2 (ADMINISTRATION AND PERSONNEL), BY ADDING SECTION 2.10 (CITY ENGINEER)
RELATING TO CODIFYING THE AUTHORITY OF THE CITY ENGINEER WHEREAS, staff has prepared Title 2, Chapter 2.10, “City Engineer” and recommends inclusion of the Chapter in the Shasta Lake Municipal Code in order to codify existing authority in the City Engineer to exercise all discretion in the approval of plans, specifications and design of all public improvements. It is intended that this ordinance will conclusively establish the affirmative defense of design immunity, as set forth in Government Code section 830.6.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY OF SHASTA LAKE DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION I: The Shasta Lake Municipal Code is hereby amended as follows:
Chapter 2.10 CITY ENGINEER
2.10.010 Appointment.
The City Engineer shall be a State of California-licensed Civil Engineer appointed by the City Manager to act directly or through authorized agents.
2.10.020 Duties generally.
The responsibilities of the City Engineer will be detailed in the authorized job description accessible via the City of Shasta Lake website or the Human Resource Department.
2.10.030 - Delegation of design approval authority.
In accordance with Government Code section 830.6, as it may be amended from time to time, the City Council hereby delegates authority to the City Engineer, or designee, to approve plans, specifications, and designs and all amendments and addenda thereto.
This authority includes, but is not limited to, the adoption of field changes through the change order process, and/or approval of as-built plans for all public works contracts and improvements, however established.
The City Engineer is not required to affix a signature, stamp or other indication of approval in order to exercise the discretion vested herein. The adoption of any plan, specification or design, as set forth in the above paragraph, whether individually tailored to a specific improvement or as a standard form to be applied generally, shall itself evidence the City Engineer’s exercise of discretion.
SECTION 2: Severability: If any provision of this ordinance or the applications thereof to any person or circumstances is held invalid, the remainder of the ordinance and the applications of such provision will remain in effect to the extent permitted by law.
SECTION 3: Effective Date: This ordinance shall be effective thirty (30) days following its second reading and posting as provided for by City Code. 69 I HEREBY CERTIFY that the foregoing Ordinance was introduced and read at a regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Shasta Lake held on the 19th day of March, 2024.

71 BACKGROUND
On November 7, 2023, the City Council initiated proceedings for a formation and balloting process for the Shasta Gateway Industrial Park Landscape Maintenance District along with adopting Resolution CC-2023-74 declaring the City’s intention to form the special district, to levy and collect assessments, approved the Engineer’s Report and Assessment Diagram, and declared the public hearing to conduct Property Owner Protest Ballot Proceedings (Proposition 218).
On January 9, 2024, at the request of Staff, City Council continued the Public Hearing to the regularly scheduled City Council meeting on March 19, 2024. A property owner meeting was held on January 17, 2024, between the property owners and City staff, it was decided to use the original net acres assigned to the original parcel numbers as a factor in the assessment calculation.
During the Public Hearing on March 19, 2024, the City Council shall consider all objections or protests, if any, to the proposed assessments, whether oral or written. Upon close of the Public Hearing, Proposition 218 ballots received will be opened and tabulated, consistent with all applicable procedures required by Proposition 218 and its implementing statutes, weighted by the proposed assessment amount on each property, and the results announced. If the time to tabulate the ballot exceeds the time for the City Council meeting, the City Council may continue the tabulation to the next scheduled council meeting, so long as such time and location are announced during the meeting.
The returned ballots will remain unopened and in the charge of the City Clerk until the close of the public hearing. At the close of the public hearing the City Clerk will direct staff or designated party to tabulate the ballot. For purposes of tabulation, the return ballots submitted, and not withdrawn, will be tabulated and weighted according to the financial obligation of the particular parcel. Article XIIID of the California Constitution provides that if, as a result of the assessment ballot proceeding, a majority protest is found to exist, the City Council shall not have the authority to form the Shasta Gateway Industrial Park Landscape Maintenance District. A majority protest exists if the assessment ballots submitted, opposes to the annexation and assessments. If there is no Majority Protest, the City Council may approve the proposed formation and assessments of the Shasta Gateway Industrial Park Landscape Maintenance District, by adopting the appropriate resolution(s) attached to this Staff Report. If approved, the assessments may be manually billed for Fiscal Year 2023/2024.

Shasta Gateway Industrial Park
Landscape Maintenance District
INTRODUCTION
Pursuant to the provisions of the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972, being Part 2 of Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code, commencing with Section 22500 (hereafter referred to as the “1972 Act”), and in compliance with the substantive and procedural requirements of the California State Constitution Article XIIID (hereafter referred to as the “California Constitution”), the City Council of the City of Shasta Lake, County of Shasta, State of California (hereafter referred to as “City”), propose to form and levy special benefit assessments for the district to be designated as:
Shasta Gateway Industrial Park Landscape Maintenance District (hereafter referred to as the “District”), which encompasses approximately 54 acres (53.706 acres) and approximately 33 net acres (32.95 net acres) of land subdivided into fifteen (15) nonresidential lots and one (1) street, currently identified on the Assessor’s Parcel Map as Book 064,
connection with these non-residential lots. This Engineer’s Report (hereafter referred to as “Report”) has been prepared in connection with the formation of said District and the levy and collection of annual assessments related thereto commencing in fiscal year 2023/2024, as required pursuant to Chapter 1, Article 4 of the 1972 Act.
The City Council proposes to form the District, and levy and collect annual assessments on the County tax roll to provide ongoing funding for the costs and expenses required to service and maintain landscaping improvements and appurtenant facilities that are necessary and essential requirements for the properties within the District. The improvements to be provided by the District and the assessments described herein are made pursuant to the 1972 Act and the substantive and procedural provisions of the California Constitution.
The formation of this District and the assessments described herein will provide a funding source for the continued operation and maintenance of the Landscaping improvements that are directly associated with the development of properties within the District and for the special benefit of those properties.
The budgets and assessments described in this Report are based on the planned improvements and development associated with the Gateway Industrial Park. The budgets described herein, represent an estimate of the direct expenditures, incidental expenses, and fund balances that will be necessary to ensure proper maintenance, servicing and funding needs to support the landscaping improvements that provide special benefit to properties within the District. In the event the property owners want to add additional streetlights or update existing streetlights this will be at the discretion of the property owners and the expense of maintaining the new and/or updated streetlights will revert to the property owners and become a line item in the annual budget. Property Owners and City will discuss any modifications to the District improvements.
The word “parcel,” for the purposes of this Report, refers to an individual property assigned its own Assessor’s Parcel Number (APN) by the Shasta County Assessor’s Office. The Shasta County Auditor-Controller uses Assessor’s Parcel Numbers and specific Fund Numbers to identify properties to be assessed on the tax roll for the special benefit assessments. 76 Engineer’s Report
City of Shasta Lake
Shasta Gateway Industrial Park
Landscape Maintenance District
As part of this District formation, the City shall conduct a property owner protest ballot proceeding for the proposed levy of a new assessment pursuant to the provisions of the California Constitution, Article XIIID Section 4. In conjunction with this ballot proceeding, the City Council will conduct a public hearing to consider public testimonies, comments, and written protests regarding the formation of the District and levy of assessments. Upon conclusion of the public hearing, property owner protest ballots received will be opened and tabulated to determine whether majority protest exists (ballots shall be weighted based on the calculated proportional assessment amount for each benefiting parcel), and by resolution the City Council will confirm the results of the ballot tabulation. If majority protest exists, proceedings for the formation of the District and the levy of the proposed assessments shall be abandoned. If tabulation of the ballots indicates that majority protest does not exist for the proposed assessments and the assessment range formula presented and described herein, the City Council may approve the Report (as submitted or amended), order the formation of the District, and approve the levy and collection of assessments. In such case, the assessments for fiscal year 2023/2024 will be manually billed.
Thereafter shall be submitted to the Shasta County Auditor-Controller for inclusion on the property tax roll for each parcel beginning in fiscal year 2024/2025.
Each subsequent fiscal year, a Report shall be prepared and presented to the City Council describing any changes to the improvements, the proposed services, the annual budget and assessments for that fiscal year, and the City Council shall hold a noticed public hearing regarding these matters prior to approving and ordering the proposed levy of assessments.
This Report consists of five (5) parts:
Part I
Plans and Specifications: A description of the District boundaries and the proposed improvements associated with the District. The District is being formed with a single benefit zone encompassing all properties within the territory identified as Gateway Industrial Park.
Part II
Method of Apportionment: A discussion of benefits the improvements and services provide to properties within the District and the method of calculating each property’s proportional special benefit and annual assessment. This section also identifies and outlines an Assessment Range Formula that provides for an annual adjustment to the maximum assessment rate that establishes limits on future assessments, but also provides for reasonable cost adjustments due to inflation without the added expense of additional property owner protest ballot proceedings.
Part III
The District Budget: An estimate of the annual costs to operate, maintain and service landscaping improvements related to the properties within the District. This budget includes an estimate of anticipated direct maintenance costs and incidental expenses including, but not limited to administration expenses and the collection of appropriate fund balances to establish an initial maximum assessment to be approved by the property owners of record. The special benefit maximum assessment proposed for this District is based on an estimate of the annual maintenance and operational expenses at full build out of the improvements. The proposed assessments for the first levy fiscal year (2023/2024), and each subsequent year shall be based on the estimated net annual cost of operating, maintaining, and servicing the District improvements for that fiscal year. The proposed maximum assessment (Rate per Equivalent Benefit Unit) identified in the budget of this Report establishes the initial maximum assessment 77 Engineer’s Report

PART II — METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT
The 1972 Act permits the establishment of assessment districts by agencies for the purpose of providing certain public improvements, including the acquisition, construction, installation and servicing of landscape improvements and related facilities. The 1972 Act requires that the cost of these improvements be levied according to benefit rather than assessed value:
Section 22573 defines the net amount to be assessed as follows:
“The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements.”
The formula used for calculating assessments reflect the composition of parcels within the District and the improvements and activities to be provided and have been designed to fairly apportion the cost of providing those improvements based on a determination of the proportional special benefits to each parcel, consistent with the requirements of the 1972 Act and the provisions of Proposition 218 and Article XIII D of the California Constitution.
A. CALIFORNIA CONSTITUTION
The costs to operate and maintain the District improvements are identified and allocated to properties on the special benefits conferred. The improvements provided and for which properties within the District are to be assessed are identified as local improvements and related amenities that were installed in connection with the development of the properties and/or would otherwise be required for the development of properties within the District and consistent with the provisions of the 1972 Act. The assessments and method of apportionment described herein are based on the premise that these improvements would otherwise not have been installed and maintained by the City. The improvements were installed as part of the development or planned development of the parcels within the District and the level of maintenance required for the improvements is greater than what the City would otherwise install, maintain, and fund elsewhere in the City.
Article XIII D Section 2(d) defines District as follows:
“District means an area determined by an agency to contain all parcels which will receive a special benefit from a proposed public improvement or property-related service”; Article XIII D Section 2(i) defines Special Benefit as follows:
“Special benefit” means a particular and distinct benefit over, and above general benefits conferred on real property located in the district or to the public at large. General enhancement of property value does not constitute “special benefit.”
81 Engineer’s Report
City of Shasta Lake
Shasta Gateway Industrial Park
Landscape Maintenance District
Article XIII D Section 4(a) defines proportional special benefit assessments as follows:
“An agency which proposes to levy an assessment shall identify all parcels which will have a special benefit conferred upon them and upon which an assessment will be imposed. The proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel shall be determined in relationship to the entirety of the capital cost of a public improvement, the maintenance and operation expenses of a public improvement, or the cost of the property related service being provided. No assessment shall be imposed on any parcel which exceeds the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel.” B. BENEFIT ANALYSIS
The improvements provided within the District, for which properties will be assessed have been identified as necessary, desired and/or required for the orderly development of the properties within the District to their full potential, consistent with the development plans.
SPECIAL BENEFIT
The ongoing maintenance of landscaped areas within the District will provide aesthetic benefits to the properties and are intended to provide a more pleasant environment to walk, drive, live, and work. The primary function of these improvements and related amenities is to serve as an aesthetically pleasing enhancement and open space area for the benefit of the immediate surrounding properties and development for which the improvements were constructed and installed, and/or were facilitated by the development or potential development of properties within the District. These improvements are an integral part of the physical environment associated with the parcels in the District and while these improvements may in part be visible to properties outside the District and/or occasionally accessed by the general public, if these improvements are not properly maintained, it is the parcels within the District that would be aesthetically burdened and/or impacted directly by potential environmental issues such as dust, debris, pests, water runoff, erosion, and fire hazards. Thus, the maintenance of these improvements provides advantages to the assessed properties that affect the assessed parcels in a way that is particular and distinct from their effect on other parcels and that real property in general and the public at large do not share.
Collectively these improvements, related amenities, and services which will be funded by the special benefit assessments, enhance the overall use, presentation, enjoyment, recreational access, and marketability of the properties, and ensure the long-term cost-efficiency of services that are obtained through the County provided maintenance (economy of scale).
GENERAL BENEFIT
In reviewing the location and extent of the specific landscaped areas and improvements to be funded by the District assessments and the proximity and relationship to properties to be assessed, it is evident these improvements have been installed as part of the development of properties within the District or are improvements that would otherwise be shared by and/or required for development of those properties. Although the improvements are largely located along Shasta Gateway Drive as well as the median on Shasta Gateway Drive the development and may be visible and/or accessible to the general public, it is evident that the ongoing maintenance of these improvements are only necessary for the appearance and advantage of the properties within the District. It is also evident that these improvements were not required nor necessarily desired by any properties or developments outside of the District boundaries. 82 Engineer’s Report
City of Shasta Lake
Shasta Gateway Industrial Park
Landscape Maintenance District
In the absence of a special funding, these types of improvements would not have been installed by the developer per the City’s conditions and the City’s maintenance of these improvements would for the most part, be limited to weed abatement (fuel modification areas), rodent control, and erosion control services only. This basic or baseline level of service would typically provide for periodic servicing of the open space areas on an as-needed basis. This baseline level of service would only provide a level of service that was necessary to ensure public safety, essential property protection and potential property damage. However, this baseline level of service results in a far less visually pleasing environment than is created with the enhanced levels of services associated with the regular landscape maintenance that can be provided through the District assessments.
In addition to this baseline level of service, it is recognized that there are indirect or incidental benefits to properties within the District as well as the general public that are associated with regular landscape maintenance services, including minimization of dust and debris, and decreased potential water runoff from the open space areas.
It is also recognized that with the regular maintenance of the improvements, the effort and cost to monitor and address these more indirect issues are reduced to isolated areas and/or less frequent servicing, and these activities generally represent less than two percent (2%) of the overall maintenance costs. Therefore, if the District did not exist and the City had to maintain the area at a minimum level it is estimated that the costs associated with these indirect and incidental benefits would not exceed five percent (5%) of the combined annual expenses for General Maintenance identified in the annual maintenance budget contained in "Part III – The District Budget” of this Report.
C. REASON FOR THE ASSESSMENT
The assessments proposed to be annually levied and collected on parcels within the District are established to defray the costs of the maintenance, operation, and servicing of improvements, as previously identified in “Part I - Plans and Specifications” of this Report.
These identified improvements, services and activities and the associated costs to provide such improvements identified in “Part III – The District Budget” of this Report, have been carefully reviewed and proportionally allocated to the parcels that receive special benefits from those improvements and services and are inclusive of all parcels that receive special benefits which are identified in “Part V – Assessment Roll” of this Report pursuant to the provisions of the California Constitution and 1972 Act. The formulas used for calculating special benefits within the District as outlined by this Report, have been established to reflect the composition of the parcels and the improvements and services to be provided and to fairly apportion the cost of those improvements based on the special benefits to each parcel. The method of apportionment (method of assessment) set forth in the Report is based on the premise that each assessed property receives special benefits from the improvements to be funded by the assessments, and the assessment obligation for each parcel reflects that parcel’s proportional special benefits as compared to other properties that receive special benefits from the improvements. Furthermore, such assessments shall be used solely for the maintenance operation and servicing of the District improvements as authorized pursuant to the 1972 Act and in accordance with the California Constitution, the proportionate special benefits to each parcel shall be determined in relationship to the entirety of the public improvement or the maintenance and operation expenses being provided and for which the property receives special benefits. 83 Engineer’s Report
City of Shasta Lake
Shasta Gateway Industrial Park
Landscape Maintenance District
D. ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY
The method of apportionment for the District calculates the receipt of special benefit from the respective improvements based on the actual or proposed land use of the parcels within the District. The special benefit received by each lot or parcel is equated to the overall land use of the parcel based on the parcel’s actual land use or proposed planned development and is reliant upon the special benefit received from the improvements planned within the District.
To identify and determine the special benefit to be received by each parcel, it is necessary to consider the entire scope of the District improvements as well as individual property development within the District. The costs associated with the improvements shall be fairly distributed among the parcels based upon the special benefit received by each parcel. Additionally, in compliance with Article XIIID Section 4 of the State Constitution, each parcel’s assessment may not exceed the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred to that parcel. The benefit formula used to determine the assessment obligation is therefore based upon both the improvements that benefit the parcels within the District as well as the proposed land use of each property as compared to other parcels that benefit from those specific improvements.
E. EQUIVALENT BENEFIT UNITS
To assess benefits equitably it is necessary to calculate each property’s relative share of the special benefits conferred by the funded improvements and service. The Equivalent Benefit Unit (EBU) method of assessment apportionment is utilized for this District and establishes a basic unit (base value) of benefit and then calculates the benefit derived by each assessed parcel as a multiple (or a fraction) of that basic unit. The EBU method of apportioning special benefits is typically seen as the most appropriate and equitable assessment methodology for assessment districts, as the benefit to each parcel from the improvements are apportioned as a function of comparable property characteristics which may include but is not limited to land use and property size.
For the purposes of this Engineer's Report, an EBU is the quantum of benefit derived from the various improvements in the District based on the average acres of single-family residential property. The average single-family home in the surrounding area equates to 0.2555 (0.25) acres of land. Thus, the "benchmark" property (the single-family residential parcel) derives one (1) EBU of benefit and would be assigned 1.00 Equivalent Benefit Unit if existed in place of commercial development, as such each net acre of commercial land would be assigned 4.00 EBU per net acre. At a meeting held on January 17, 2024, between the City and the property owners, it was decided to use the original net acres assigned to the original parcel numbers (see Appendix B).
In any event the net acres were greater than the gross acres, gross acres were utilized instead of the original net acres assigned.
Pursuant to the 1972 Act, the costs of the District may be apportioned by any formula or method that fairly distributes the net amount to be assessed, among all assessable parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each parcel from the improvements. The benefit formula used for the District should reflect the composition of the parcels, and the improvements and services provided, to fairly apportion the costs based on special benefit to each parcel.
EBU APPLICATION BY LAND
Developed Non-Commercial — This land use is defined as property developed for either commercial or industrial use. This type of property receives greater benefit than Single-Family or Multi-Family property due to typically larger lot sizes in relation to residential properties. With 84 Engineer’s Report
City of Shasta Lake
Shasta Gateway Industrial Park
Landscape Maintenance District
typical SFR lot sizes in the City at 0.25 acres, Developed Commercial land use type is assessed at 4.0 EBU per net acre. Parcels less than 0.25 net acres will be assigned a minimum of 1.0 EBU and there is no maximum net acreage cap, as is the case with Vacant Non-Residential Property.
Vacant Commercial — This land use is defined as property currently zoned for any nonresidential use where a tentative or final tract map has not been submitted and/or approved. This land use is assessed at 1.0 EBU per net acre. Parcels less than 1 gross acre are assigned a minimum of 1.0 EBU.
Exempt Parcels — This land use identifies properties that are not assessed and are assigned
0.0 EBU. This land use classification may include, but is not limited to, lots or parcels identified as public streets and other roadways (typically not assigned an APN by the County); dedicated public easements, open space areas and right-of-way including greenbelts and parkways; utility right-of-way; common areas, sliver parcels and bifurcated lots or any other property that cannot be developed; publicly owned properties that are part of the District improvements or that have little or no improvement value. These types of parcels are considered to receive little or no benefit from the improvements and are therefore exempt from assessment.
The following table provides a listing of land use types, land use code designations, the Equivalent Benefit Unit factor applied to that land use type, and the multiplying factor used to calculate each parcel’s individual EBU.
Land Use Codes and Equivalent Benefit Units
Property Type Land Use
Code
Equivalent
Benefit Units Multiplier
Developed Commercial COM 4.00 Net Acre
Vacant Commercial VAC 1.00 Net Acre
Exempt Parcel XMT 0.00 Parcel
F. ASSESSMENT CALCULATIONS
The total number of Equivalent Benefit Units (EBU’s) is the sum of all individual EBU's applied to parcels that receive special benefit from the improvements. An assessment amount per EBU (Assessment Rate) for the improvements is established by taking the total cost of the improvements and dividing that amount by the total number of EBU’s of all parcels benefiting from the improvements. This Rate is then applied back to each parcel’s individual EBU to determine the parcel’s proportionate benefit and assessment obligation for the improvements.
Total Balance to Levy / Total EBU = Levy per EBU
$52,907.38 / 125.88 = $420.30
Levy per EBU x Parcel EBU = Parcel Levy Amount
$420.30 x 125.88 = $52,907.38
*Totals may not foot due to rounding.

G. ASSESSMENT RANGE FORMULA
Any new or increased assessment requires certain noticing and meeting requirements by law.
Prior to the passage of Proposition 218 (California Constitution Articles XIII C and XIII D), legislative changes in the Brown Act defined a "new or increased assessment" to exclude certain conditions. These conditions included "any assessment that does not exceed an assessment formula or range of assessments previously adopted by the agency or approved by the voters in the area where the assessment is imposed." This definition and conditions were later confirmed through Senate Bill 919 (Proposition 218 implementing legislation).
The purpose of establishing an Assessment Range Formula is to provide for reasonable increases and inflationary adjustment to annual assessments without requiring costly noticing and mailing procedures, which could add to the District costs. Commencing with fiscal year 2024/2025, the amount of the assessment for the District may be increased to adjust for increases in labor and material costs. This increase will be based upon the greater of three (3) percent or the annual change in the Consumer Price Index, All Urban Consumers, for the San FranciscoOakland-Hayward, CA area, as determined by the United States Department of Labor, or its successor, without conducting another mailed ballot election.
The Maximum Assessment is adjusted annually and is calculated independent of the annual budget and proposed annual assessment. Any proposed annual assessment (rate per EBU less than or equal to this Maximum Assessment) is not considered an increased assessment, even if the proposed assessment is greater than the assessment applied in the prior fiscal year.
Although the Maximum Assessment will increase each year, the actual assessment may remain unchanged. The Maximum Assessment adjustment is designed to establish a reasonable limit on assessments. The Maximum Assessment calculated each year does not require or facilitate an increase to the annual assessment and neither does it restrict assessments to the adjusted maximum amount. If the budget and assessment for the fiscal year do not require an increase, or the increase is less than the adjusted Maximum Assessment, then the required budget and assessment may be applied without additional property owner balloting. If the budget and assessments calculated requires an increase greater than the adjusted Maximum Assessment, then the assessment is considered an increased assessment and would be subject to balloting. 86 Engineer’s Report

With changes and adjustments recommended by Staff, subsequently approved by the City Council, and maintaining a fiscally conservative approach, the City of Shasta Lake has continued to maintain a viable General Fund. This fiscally conservative approach entails estimating revenues low and expenditures high. This means that in most fiscal years there are budget savings. That is the case here, and even though there are expenditure increases being proposed, the General Fund is projected to remain in a stable position at the end of this fiscal year.

City of Shasta Lake Fiscal Year 2022-23 Budget Review Message - Continued Page 5 Special Revenue Funds
CDBG Projects Funds
The CDBG program is a pass-through federal grant awarded from the State of California Housing and Community Development to grant small cities with a population under 50,000. This funding is released through a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA), and is a competitive application process. CDBG funding may be used for projects such as; community service, infrastructure improvements, and housing for low-income residents. Typical projects funded in the past include infrastructure improvements and construction of public facilities.
Revenues – The City is very active in securing Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding. These grants operate on a reimbursement basis, which means it never has a cash balance available to earn interest income.
Expenditures – This increase of $9,842,515, for multiple projects, are all a carry forward of prior FY approved budgets and all are offset by grant revenues.
Trafficway / Transportation Funds
Expenditures – A $1,020,000 increase, of which $793,000 is a carry forward from the prior FY approved budget and $227,000 is offset by Traffic Impact Fee reserves. These funds were used for the 2023 Street Improvements.
Enterprise Funds
Water Enterprise
Expenditures – A $120,000 increase for costs related to maintenance and equipment. Of which $50,000 is a carry forward from the prior FY approved budget.
Internal Service Funds
Motor Pool
Expenditures – A total increase of $305,000, which consists of $65,000 for costs related to the purchase of (10) new Mobile Digital Communicators (MDC, aka computers) for Sheriff Vehicles.
This request is for a re-allocation of $65,000 of the budget from Police Services 110-213-5323, which is forecasted to come in approximately $500,000 under budget for current FY 23/24.
Additionally, staff request authority to attempt to secure an order of (3) Ford Police Explorers at a total cost of $240,000. The City would not receive the vehicles for 9-12 months and pay for them then. Request to purchase must be made in advance. In the past two FYs, staff have made numerous attempts to secure two additional police vehicles per budget but have been unable to due to inventory shortages. This request will also be included in the upcoming 2-year budget cycle. 109
