Contributions
Section 20814(c) of the California Public Employees’ Retirement Law requires that the employer contribution rates for all public employers are determined on an annual basis by the actuary and shall be effective on the July 1 following notice of a change in the rate. The total plan contributions are determined through CalPERS’ annual actuarial valuation process. The actuarially determined rate is the estimated amount necessary to finance the costs of benefits earned by employees during the year, with an additional amount to finance any unfunded accrued liability. The SCLAA is required to contribute the difference between the actuarially determined rate and the contribution rate of employees. SCLAA contribution rates may change if plan contracts are amended. Payments made by the employer to satisfy contribution requirements that are identified by the pension plan terms as plan member contributions requirements are classified as plan member contributions. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, SCLAA made contributions totaling $484,566. (30)

Actuarial Assumptions
The total pension liability for the Miscellaneous Plan for the June 30, 2022 measurement period was determined by an actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2021, with update procedures used to roll forward the total pension liability to June 30, 2022. The total pension liability for the Miscellaneous Plan was based on the following assumptions:

Pre-retirement and Post-retirement mortality rates include generational mortality improvement using 80% of Scale MP-2020 published by the Society of Actuaries. For more details on this table, please refer to the CalPERS Experience Study and Review of Actuarial Assumptions report from November 2021 that can be found on the CalPERS website.

Long-Term Expected Rate of Return
The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a building-block method in which expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of pension plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class.

In determining the long-term expected rate of return, CalPERS took into account both short- term and long-term market return expectations. Using historical returns all of the funds’ asset classes, expected compound (geometric) returns were calculated over the next 20 years using a building-block approach. The expected rate of return was then adjusted to account for assumed administrative expenses of 10 Basis points. The expected real rates of return by asset class are as follows:

(a) An expected inflation of 2.30% used for this period (b) Figures are based on the 2021 Asset Liability Management study.

Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 6.90%. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that contributions from plan members will be made at the current member contribution rates and that contributions from employers will be made at statutorily required rates, actuarially determined. Based on those assumptions, the Plan’s fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current plan members. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability.

Change in Assumptions
The discount rate and long-term rate of return decreased from 7.15% to 6.90% and the inflation rate decreased from 2.50% to 2.30% from the measurement date June 30, 2021 to June 30, 2022.

Proportionate Share of Net Pension Liability – City’s Miscellaneous Agent Multiple-Employer Plan Allocation to the SCLAA
The SCLAA’s net pension liability for the Plan is measured as the proportionate share of the net pension liability. The SCLAA’s proportionate share of the net pension liability was based on a projection of the SCLAA’s long-term share of contributions to the Miscellaneous Plan relative to the projected contributions of the City, actuarially determined.

NOTE 7 OTHER POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS PLAN
Plan Descriptions
The SCLAA participates in the City’s Other Postemployment Benefits Defined Benefit Pension Plan and the SCLAA’s share of the total OPEB liability is reported as a cost-sharing plan in these financial statements.

The City Plan provides medical benefits to eligible retired City employees and beneficiaries in accordance with various labor agreements. The plan covers employees who retire directly from the City with eight years of service. The City provides a contribution up to a certain amount (a portion of the HMO single premium). The percentage varies based on years of service.

Funding Policy
The contribution requirements of plan members and the City are established and may be amended by City Council. The contribution required to be made under City Council and labor agreement requirements is based on a pay-as-you-go basis (i.e., as medical insurance premiums become due). The City has not established a trust that is administered by the City for the purpose of holding assets accumulated for plan benefits.

Contributions
The City Plan and its contribution requirements are established by Memoranda of Understanding with the applicable employee bargaining units and may be amended by agreements between the City and the bargaining units. The annual contribution is based on the year’s retiree medical premiums (pay-as-you-go basis). For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, the SCLAA’s cash contributions were $15,213 in cash benefit payments, $90 in administrative costs, and the estimated implied subsidy was $7,724, resulting in total payments of $23,027.

Total OPEB Liability

NOTE 8 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation
The SCLAA is a defendant in certain legal actions arising in the normal course of operations. The accompanying basic financial statements reflect a liability for the probable amounts of loss associated with these claims.

Southern California Logistics Airport Authority and Stirling Enterprise LLC In the early 1990s, the U.S. Air Force closed George Air Force Base (former Base). In response the local communities formed the Victor Valley Economic Development Authority (VVEDA). VVEDA and the Air Force entered into agreements to lease and ultimately transfer title to the former Base to VVEDA. The subject land is designated as either Public Benefit Transfer (PBT) Parcels or Economic Development Conveyance (EDC) Parcels. The PBT Parcels are made up of approximately 2,200 acres previously used by the U.S. Air Force and are restricted to use as an airport. These parcels were transferred to SCLAA at no cost.

The EDC Parcels are made up of approximately 1,800 acres of adjacent property which may be developed for use as commercial property. SCLAA paid $1,636,489 and is required to pay additional $37,176 for these EDC Parcels. In 1993 a Redevelopment Plan was adopted by VVEDA establishing a redevelopment project area encompassing the former Base as well as approximately 55,000 additional acres. VVEDA delegated its decision-making authority relative to the former Base, now known as SCLAA. (38)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 8 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED)
Southern California Logistics Airport Authority and Stirling Enterprise LLC (Continued)
SCLAA adopted a Specific Plan in conformity with the Redevelopment Plan and adopted a Master Development Plan establishing its goal to develop the area as a cargo and aircraft maintenance facility and a business/industrial center thereby creating jobs and improving economic conditions in the Victor Valley.

In July 1998, SCLAA and Stirling Enterprises, LLC and its related entities (Stirling) entered into the first of several agreements for the marketing, acquisition, operation, and development of SCLAA. The Fourth Amended and Restated Master Agreement (Stirling Agreement) is the current agreement superseding all previous versions.

Revenues from Sales of Land
In August 2016, three agreements with Stirling were approved by the SCLAA Board of Directors that were intended to serve as a framework that encourages development before the expiration of the Master Agreement (MA). The three agreements are a Satisfaction and Termination Agreement, a Disposition, Exchange, and Development Agreement (#2), and an Option and Development Agreement.

The Disposition, Exchange, and Development Agreement allows for the removal of approximately 280-acres of Airport-owned property from the definition of EDC Parcels and the title transfer in fee to Stirling, of approximately 280 acres. The Airport-owned property will become available for the Airport for revenue-producing purposes and the Airport will have the flexibility to develop the subject property on a ground-lease basis with aviation and nonaviation (Section 2.01 of the Development and Exchange Agreement). Revenue sharing will only exist relating to these parcels if the respective transaction is procured by Stirling and be split 80/20 with the larger share to benefit SCLAA.

The Agreement also provides for the disposition of additional off-airport property. In addition to the Stirling Exchange Parcels, SCLAA will then transfer, in fee, 200 acres of property for the $.0203/psf purchase price ($176,448) and participate in revenue sharing for net proceeds in an amount equal to 30% (Section 2.03 of the Development and Exchange Agreement). Net proceeds are generally defined to be revenues generated from the eventual sale by Stirling that are residual to infrastructure costs, EIR costs and developer credits. The Agreement also transfers the public infrastructure obligations of the Authority pursuant to the MA and DDA to Stirling.

Finally, the Option Agreement, in connection with performance obligations related to the Development and Exchange Agreement, will provide Stirling the ability to acquire additional acreage currently provided for in the Master Agreement. Such an exercise of option will occur in 50-acre increments based on Stirling having developed 500,000 square feet of property owned by it. The Option Agreement is set up to run through December 2050 and can terminate sooner due to nonperformance described in Section 1.5 of the Option and Development Agreement.

The Authority has retained the right to lease the PBT Parcels and retain revenues from those leases, but shall allow Stirling to participate in 20% of any net lease revenues from tenants who may be procured by Stirling and approval by the Authority. Any revenues from other interim uses on the former Base such as filming will be shared on a 50%/50% basis between Stirling and Authority.

NOTE 9 SCLAA’S FINANCIAL CONDITION, SIGNIFICANT FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS, AND MANAGEMENT’S PLANS
In fiscal year 08/09, the assessed value for the Victor Valley Redevelopment Project Area was approximately $9.49 billion. Beginning in fiscal year 09/10, there were significant decreases in assessed value for the Victor Valley Redevelopment Project Area. Assessed values for the Project Area reached a low point of $6.6 Billion in fiscal year 12/13. The decrease was largely the result of the Great Recession. Since fiscal year 12/13, assessed values have increased steadily. For fiscal year 20/21, the assessed value for the Project Area was approximately $9.99 billion. The steady increase in assessed values have resulted in the SCLAA paying all past due debt service in the previous fiscal year. As of the December 1, 2018 tax distribution, the SCLAA was no longer in default. In 2018, Moody’s issued an upgraded rating on the Successor Agency to the Victor Valley Economic Development Authority (VVEDA) Housing Set-Aside Tax Allocation Bonds and the Non- Housing Tax Allocation Bonds to “stable” outlook as a result of resolving the outstanding defaults, and the prospective analysis on increasing assessed values in the project area.

During fiscal year 19/20 and 20/21, SCLAA had results that were not as favorable as fiscal year 18/19 with a net loss of $3.5 million and $2.5 million, respectively. However, in fiscal years 21/22 and 22/23, SCLAA had a positive net income of $782,286 and $15,894,051, respectively. A summary of the financial condition of the SCLAA enterprise fund is as follows:

Management’s Plans with Respect to its Financial Condition (Continued) Regarding the SCLAA’s financial condition, an Interfund loan agreement was signed July 1, 2016 by the Board of SCLAA and a $10,000,000 advance was made available from the 2007 SCLA Housing bond fund to the Airport Operations Fund and has been used to subsidize operations. The advance had a term repayment of five years, with an annualized Wall Street Journal Prime Rate as the interest rate. In October 2022, the outstanding balance of the loan was repaid. The advance was within the fund itself.

NOTE 10 JOINTLY GOVERNED ORGANIZATIONS
Victor Valley Economic Development Authority
The Victor Valley Economic Development Authority (VVEDA) was formed in 1992 by the Cities of Victorville and Hesperia, the Town of Apple Valley, and the County of San Bernardino to provide the mechanism and funding to manage development of the property formerly known as the George Air Force Base, facilitate the successful reuse of the property, and promote economic development within the area surrounding the Air Base. In 2000, the City of Adelanto was added as a member of the Authority. In December 2011, Assembly Bill 1X 26 (the Bill) dissolved VVEDA, and as such all assets of the former VVEDA have been transferred to the VVEDA Successor Agency and are subject to the distribution’s provisions of the Bill. The SCLAA contains a portion of the VVEDA Successor Agency with the Town of Apple Valley and City of Adelanto comprising the rest of the VVEDA Successor Agency. The RPTTF (tax increment distributions) from VVEDA represent the primary revenue of the SCLAA. Financial statements may be obtained by sending a written request to Victor Valley Economic Development Authority, 18374 Phantom Street, Victorville, CA 92394.

NOTE 11 SUCCESSOR AGENCY TRUST FOR ASSETS OF THE FORMER REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY
On December 29, 2011, the California Supreme Court upheld Assembly Bill 1X 26 (the Bill) that provides for the dissolution of all redevelopment agencies in the state of California. This action impacted the SCLAA because the SCLAA has historically funded its operations and debt service using significant tax increment revenue from the Victor Valley Economic Development Agency (VVEDA). VVEDA has acted as a pass-through agency for the various recipients of tax increment revenue in the Victor Valley and is subject to the dissolution requirements of the Bill.

The Bill provides that upon dissolution of a redevelopment agency, either the city or another unit of local government will agree to serve as the “successor agency” to hold the assets until they are distributed to other units of state and local government. On January 17, 2012, the Victorville City Council elected to become the Successor Agency for the former redevelopment agency in accordance with the Bill as part of City resolution number 12-005.

NOTE 11 SUCCESSOR AGENCY TRUST FOR ASSETS OF THE FORMER REDEVELOPMENT

AGENCY (CONTINUED)
After enactment of the law, which occurred on June 28, 2011, redevelopment agencies in the state of California cannot enter into new projects, obligations, or commitments. Subject to the control of a newly established oversight board, remaining assets can only be used to pay enforceable obligations in existence at the date of dissolution (including the completion of any unfinished projects that were subject to legally enforceable contractual commitments).

NOTE 12 LEASES
The SCLAA, acting as lessor, leases buildings and land under long-term, noncancelable lease agreements. The leases expire at various dates through 2056 and provide for renewal options ranging from 1 year to 55 years. During the year ended June 30, 2023, the SCLAA recognized $8,159,454 and $1,624,219 in lease revenue and interest revenue, respectively, pursuant to these contracts.

Certain leases provide for increases in future minimum annual rental payments based on a defined percent in the contract or increases in the Consumer Price Index, subject to certain minimum increases. Lease revenue comprises a majority of the SCLAA’s operating revenues, therefore, this activity is considered to be the principal operation of the SCLAA.

Total future minimum lease payments to be received under lease agreements are as follows:

Benefit Changes:

There were no changes in benefits.

Changes in Assumptions:

From fiscal year June 30, 2015 to June 30, 2016:

GASB 68, paragraph 68 states that the long-term expected rate of return should be determined net of pension plan investment expense but without reduction for pension plan administrative expense. The discount rate of 7.50% used for the June 30, 2014 measurement date was net of administrative expenses. The discount rate of 7.65% used for the June 30, 2015 measurement date is without reduction of pension plan administrative expense.

From fiscal year June 30, 2016 to June 30, 2017:

There were no changes in assumptions.

From fiscal year June 30, 2017 to June 30, 2018:

The discount rate was reduced from 7.65% to 7.15%.

From fiscal year June 30, 2018 to June 30, 2022:

There were no significant changes in assumptions.

From fiscal year June 30, 2022 to June 30, 2023:

The discount rate and long-term rate of return decreased from 7.15% to 6.90% and the inflation rate decreased from 2.50% to 2.30%. *Fiscal year 2015 was the first year of implementation, therefore, only nine years are shown. (44)

Meeting of: June 18, 2024
Submitted By:

Fredy Bonilla, City Engineer

Subject:

Project Proposal to California Transportation Commission for Local Streets and Roads Funding for Fiscal Year 2024-2025
Recommendation:

That the Honorable City Council:
(1) Adopt Resolution No. 24-030, approving three (3) road projects for submittal to the California Transportation Commission (CTC) to be eligible to receive Local Streets and Roads Funds for Fiscal Year 2024-2025; and
(2) Authorize staff to submit this project proposal to the CTC.

Fiscal Impact:

There is no fiscal impact as a result of this action and no additional appropriation is required. The funds for all three projects have been included in the proposed FY 2024- 2025 budget.

Strategic Plan Goal:

This request aligns with Goal E “Invest in Infrastructure”, Strategy 11 in the City of Victorville Strategic Plan 2023-2026. Submitting a list of road projects is required to obtain SB1 funding to support local road rehabilitation and improvement projects. This request will provide the City the ability to supplement Measure I with more funding to improve road conditions, safety for pedestrians and drivers along the proposed corridors.

Background:

Local Streets and Roads Funding is available to cities and counties in California as a result of Senate Bill 1 (SB1) which increased the per gallon fuel taxes and vehicle registration fees. Various portions of this funding are deposited by the State Controller into the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA). One portion of this account is the Local Streets and Roads Fund (LSRF). The CTC adopts and updates guidelines for the use of the LSRF. This funding must be used on specific projects and 3 6
0 0
cannot be used for streets and roads operations and maintenance expenses (O&M).

According to the guidelines, to be eligible to receive the LSRF, “an eligible city or county shall submit to the CTC a list of projects proposed to be funded with these funds pursuant to an adopted resolution by the applicable city council or county board of supervisors at a regular public meeting”. Table A represents the previous resolutions submitted to the CTC for the estimated amount of SB1 Funding the City expected to receive.

Table D below shows incomplete capital improvement projects previously approved by the Council and submitted to the CTC for LSRF. Some SB1 funding has been spent on the Bear Valley Road project to date.

Project Budget
Bear Valley Rd, Highway 395 to Amethyst Rd $ 2,898,797.00 Mojave Dr, El Evado to La Paz Dr $ 3,375,820.00
Total: $ 6,274,617.00
Per Table B, the total revenue collected as of May 2024 is $15,932,404.88. According to the figures in Table C, $8,824,638.98 of SB1 funding has been spent on six completed capital improvement projects. The last project completed was the Seventh Avenue and Arrowhead Drive project. Per Table D, $6,274,617 has been budgeted for two projects pending completion. In total, the City has budgeted $15,444,617 in projects since FY 2017/18. The amount of revenue received to date for FY 2023/24 is expected to increase.

It is anticipated the City will receive three more disbursements for the fiscal year. The monthly average for disbursements has been $289,206 for FY 2023/24. Considering there are three disbursements left, it is anticipated the City will receive approximately $867,620 of additional revenue. This estimated revenue and amount received to date may equal $3,470,481 for FY 2023/24, potentially $94,661 higher than the estimate from Resolution No. 23-054 submitted to the CTC.

The Mojave Drive Improvement Project from I-15 to El Evado Road is tentatively scheduled to be advertised for construction in the fall of 2024. The pavement reconstruction of Bear Valley Road from Amethyst Road to Highway 395 started in March 2024 and is expected to be completed by July 2024.

There is a carryover provision in the LSRF guidelines which allows for LSRF to be carried over to future years. There is also a provision which allows LSRF to be added to projects which have been previously approved for LSRF. These provisions provide flexibility for revising the funding on projects due to changes in costs.

Discussion:

If the projections discussed are accurate, the revenue the City will collect by the end of FY 2023/24 will be approximately $16,800,025. This is $1,355,408 more than what is currently budgeted for the CTC approved capital improvement projects. It is anticipated a portion of this surplus will be used for the Bear Valley Road Reconstruction project or projects listed in Table E below. LSRF guidelines limit the expense of funds to projects approved and submitted to the CTC by resolution, the funding cannot be used on other projects. The remaining balance will be used for other costs for management of SB1 funding reimbursed to the CTC or on upcoming capital improvement projects.

For this coming FY 2024/25, the due date for the LSRF resolution submittal to the CTC is July 1, 2024. The amount of LSRF funds available to the City for FY 2024/25 is estimated to be $3,553,237. Staff is proposing to submit a proposal to the CTC to include 3 6

the pavement rehabilitation projects in Table E to be approved for the continued receipt of LSRF revenues.

Stable pricing on supplies and services allows various departments the resources to initiate development projects throughout the City. •Goal E: Invest in Infrastructure – various vendors are key components to the design of infrastructure and innovation throughout the City.

Discussion:

Various departments throughout the year work with Purchasing staff to determine frequently requested/needed supplies and services. Purchasing staff determines if these supplies or services warrant a multi-year contract to avoid market price fluctuations and establish a preferred purchasing method to protect the City from these fluctuations by increasing financial stability and predictability in terms of prices, charges, and service quality.

One of the advantages of a multi-year contract includes the reduction in administrative and maintenance costs by creating fixed annual pricing for repetitive commodity purchases, thus reducing the need for multiple instances of bidding, soliciting quotes, purchase orders, and other administrative costs while stabilizing prices over a period of five years.

In addition, annual maintenance contracts provide the City with a form of assurance knowing repairs will be provided efficiently and economically. The City is guaranteed the supplier will keep a full stock of original spare parts, have qualified personnel readily available for preventative maintenance and emergency calls, standby equipment, and offer substantial discounts. The City can better predict its spending through annual contracts and develop spending trends to seek ways to improve savings, thereby providing continuous improvement of its processes over the long term.

Each of the competitively bid and/or sole source contracts from the following supply and service providers allow for an additional one-year contract renewal option based on performance. Purchasing staff worked with appropriate City and District staff to inquire a desire to exercise the renewal option available for these agreements for an additional option year, based on satisfactory performance, those department approvals are attached for your reference.

The listed supply and service providers have expressed an interest in exercising said options for Fiscal Year 2024-2025 and have agreed to honor the contract pricing with the inclusion of State regulations involving the Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) prevailing wage requirements SB854 and AB219.

A list of supply and service agreements staff are seeking approval for are listed on the following pages.

Item Number: 22
City Council / Board of Directors
Written Communications
Meeting of: June 18, 2024
Submitted By:

Jorge Duran, Code Enforcement Official

Subject:

Extension of Sunset Date for Certain Temporary Fee and Penalty Waivers For Animal Care and Control Pursuant to Section 7.04.055 of Chapter 7.04, Title 7 of the Victorville Municipal Code
Recommendation:

That the Honorable City Council adopt Resolution No. 24-055, extending the sunset date of certain temporary fee and penalty waivers associated with the licensing and impoundment of dogs and cats in the city as provided in Victorville Municipal Code Section 7.04.055 to December 31, 2024.

Fiscal Impact:

Due to the proposed extension for fee waivers, a continued decrease in revenues is expected through December 31, 2024. The FY 2024/2025 budget revenue projections reflect the expected continued revenue decrease and will be updated, if necessary, during the mid-year budget review. Except as specifically called out as a fee waiver or temporary suspension, Animal Care and Control fees will adhere to the updated City-Wide Comprehensive User Fee Study under Resolution No. 23-101 approved by the City Council on December 19, 2023.

Strategic Plan Goal:

This item aligns with Goal B: Public Safety – Continue to focus animal services to include active public information and outreach and encourage adoption of animals. The proposed amendments and temporary suspensions will continue to help increase first year dog licensing and chipping of pets, prompt pet reunification with pet owners and the implementation of a City animal shelter to meet community needs.

Background:

On April 1, 2023, the City of Victorville (“City”) was served with a notice from the City’s long time contact animal shelter provider, Victor Valley Animal Protection League 3 6
6 1
(“VVAPL”) advising of their intent to permanently terminate animal shelter services effective April 30, 2023. On average, VVAPL processed 5,000-6,000 stray, seized, or relinquished cats/dogs annually and provided adoption services to all Victor Valley residents, including processing licensing, spay/neuter, and shelter veterinarian services for adopted animals residing within the City of Victorville.

As a result, the City’s Code Compliance Department, Animal Care and Control Division, immediately established a temporary animal shelter and pet adoption center at our existing Animal Care and Control facilities prioritizing the care of animals, ensuring a safe work environment for City staff and expanding public outreach to promote the adoption of animals, including partnering with local retailers on weekends to host pet adoption events.

Concurrently, staff began to identify long-term solutions for a permanent animal shelter and, in December 2023, the City signed a lease agreement with the Victor Valley Union High School District to lease the vacant and unutilized Mavericks School site located on E Street to establish a City animal shelter.

On June 6, 2023, the City Council adopted Urgency Ordinance 2439 and Ordinance 2440 to temporarily suspend certain animal licensing and shelter impound fees to incentivize animal owners to license, vaccinate, microchip, and reclaim their stray cats and dogs and ease economic hardship. These measures were taken to help avoid over-crowding and unhealthy conditions from developing in the City’s temporary animal shelter and permit lost pets to be more quickly reunited with their owners, which helps reduce the length of shelter stays. To manage limited animal shelter capacity, the Ordinance also provided flexibility to manage the available kennel space at the emergency animal shelter by suspending the mandatory pick up of unwanted animals. When shelter animal space is not available, staff have continued to provide residents with alternative options to rehome unwanted pets through online animal shelter and rescue services.

Though the adoption of the urgency Ordinance 2439 made changes effective immediately, Ordinance No. 2440 (Attachment B) was also adopted to revise and codify the following sections of the VMC: 7.04.050(9), 7.04.060, 7.04.065, 7.04.100, 7.04.130,

7.04.140, 7.04.150, 7.04.160, 7.04.280, 7.04.290, 7.04.300, 7.05.040, 7.05.050,

7.05.060, 7.05.110, 7.05.120, and add a new Section 7.04.055 to Title 7 to establish an animal license fee waiver for newly licensed dogs willing to be microchipped.

Section 7.04.055 of Chapter 7.04, Title 7 of the VMC allows the City Council to extend the fee and penalty waivers beyond December 31, 2023, by ordinance or resolution. On December 19, 2023, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 23-102 to extend the sunset date of certain temporary fee and penalty waivers associated with the licensing and impoundment of dogs and cats through June 30, 2024.

Discussion:

Following the adoption of Ordinance No. 2440 in June 2023, Animal Care and Control staff have continued to make operational adjustments to accommodate the operation of the emergency animal shelter and adoption center respectively located within the City’s 3 6
6 1
auxiliary equipment and processing facility located at 14154 Palmdale Road and the Animal Care and Control Office located at 14206 Amargosa Road (pictures included as Attachment C).

During the FY2023/2024 mid-year budget review, the City added four experienced part- time Animal Shelter Maintenance Aides to assist with animal care and facility cleaning operations at both facilities. Most of the Animal Shelter Maintenance Aides were hired from the temporary employment agency (ICR, Inc) who previously provided experienced labor to help care for our sheltered animals and demonstrated great pet care skills and compassion for the animals under our care. The Animal Shelter Maintenance Aides are assigned to clean the kennels and care for the animals, including feeding and walking the animals to ensure the animals receive exercise.

The temporary animal shelter facility on Palmdale Rd currently contains 79 dog kennels and 19 catteries along with needed sanitation supplies, equipment, pet food, blankets and pet beds to support a temporary operation and ensure the wellbeing of animals sheltered at this facility. This facility can accommodate up to 105 animals allowing for 25% of total kennels for smaller animals that can be kenneled together – subject to acquaintance or good temperament.

The temporary animal adoption facility on Amargosa contains 20 dog kennels and 6 catteries and is equally equipped to support our adoption operation. Twelve of the 20 dog kennels contain their own above ground drainage and plumbing system for ease of cleaning and the remaining 8 kennels are sanitized and maintained daily by staff. The animal adoption area is open to the public during work week hours of 7:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m., and on Saturdays from 11:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.

Additionally, Animal Care and Control staff continue to partner with local retailers such as The Home Depot, Costco and the Farmer’s Market located at Victor Valley College to host off-site adoption events, all of which have been highly successful and drawn attention to our Pet Adoption Center on Amargosa (pictures included as Attachment D).

The following are year-to-date statistics through June 1, 2024:

• 238 animals have been adopted.
• 48 animals have been relocated to 21 rescues.
• 24 animals have been fostered.
• Over 1,000 animals have been microchipped.
• 885 free dog licenses have been issued.

Animal Care and Control staff are working with City Building and Facilities staff to establish a site plan to repurpose the old Mavericks school site on E street, which is currently being leased by the City from the Victor Valley Union High School District. In coordination with the State of California Division of the State Architect (DSA) who has oversight over public school sites, the Victor Valley Union High School District and the City’s Building Official, DSA has provided clearances to allow for City permits and site 3 6
6 1
modifications for an animal shelter. The site is currently undergoing rehabilitation work and site improvements such as asbestos abatement, plumbing repairs, perimeter fencing modification and assembly of raised quarantine kennels in preparation for an animal shelter with an expected capacity for over 200 dogs and approximately 40-60 feline pets (preliminary site plan and pictures of proposed new animal shelter site are attached as Attachment E).

Plans include repurposing the existing administrative building to support field operations, establish animal quarantine and isolation areas for vicious animals consisting of approximately 30 kennels, the development of a veterinarian and grooming suite and laundry areas. The modular classrooms will be utilized as administrative shelter and adoption operations, shelter and care for cats, allow for Trap Neuter and Release programs (TNR) and storage for pet food and shelter supplies. Staff are also working with a civil engineer on designs to construct two large, temperature controlled 60 ft. x 80 ft. metal buildings that could provide approximately 200 indoor kennels in addition to quarantine kennels and a designated area to shelter equestrian animals. The site will also maintain most of the grass areas to be designated as pet bonding areas. Modified and limited operations are expected to begin within the next 90 days.

City staff are recommending the adoption of Resolution 24-055 (Attachment A) to extend the sunset date of certain temporary fee and penalty waivers associated with the licensing and impoundment of dogs and cats in the city to December 31, 2024. Doing so will facilitate the continued care and intake of animals at the City’s emergency animal shelter and will provide Animal Care and Control staff with needed flexibility to continue with temporary animal shelter and adoption operations until the long-term facility is operational.

Staff remain available for any questions or comments the City Council may have.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
VICTORVILLE, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING RESOLUTION N O. 23-102

AND EXTENDING THE SUNSET DATE OF CERTAIN TEMPORARY FEE

AND PENALTY WAIVERS ASSOCIATED WITH THE LICENSING AND

IMPOUNDMENT OF DOGS AND CATS IN THE CITY THROUGH
DECEMBER 31, 2024, PURSUANT TO SECTION 7.04.055 OF CHAPTER

7.04, TITLE 7 OF THE VICTORVILLE MUNICIPAL CODE
WHEREAS, on June 6, 2023, the City Council of the City of Victorville (“City Council”) passed, approved, and adopted Urgency Ordinance No. 2439 to address an imminent lack of animal sheltering capacity and facilities in the City of Victorville (“City”) created by the unexpected closing of the Victor Valley Animal Protective League’s animal shelter in the City on April 30, 2023; and
WHEREAS, Urgency Ordinance No. 2439 was later reinforced by the passage of regular Ordinance No. 2440, which became effective on July 20, 2023; and WHEREAS, among other things, the aforementioned ordinances added provisions to Chapter 7.04 of Title 7 of the Victorville Municipal Code (“ VMC”) providing for the temporary waiver of certain fees and penalties associated with the licensing and impoundment of cats and dogs in the City (“Waivers”) to ensure that the City’s newly established Emergency Shelter was not stretched beyond its current capacity or overloaded to the point that sheltering conditions could endanger the health and welfare of the animals being sheltered, as well as those persons providing for their care; and
WHEREAS, while City staff have made significant progress in alleviating the shelter capacity/facility conditions by finalizing a lease for premises to serve as a larger and more permanent animal shelter in the City and designing same, the City still must complete construction of improvements to the premises before sheltering operations can fully commence; and WHEREAS, Section 7.04.055 of Chapter 7.04 of Title 7 of the VMC states that the Waivers provided for therein automatically expire on December 31, 2023 unless the City Council takes action by ordinance or resolution to extend said Waivers beyond the end of 2023; and WHEREAS, on December 19, 2023, the City Council extended the Waivers through June 30, 2024 by adopting Resolution No. 23-102; and
WHEREAS, the Waivers currently in place have and continue to aid the City in alleviating overcrowding at the Emergency Shelter and led to an increase in the number of pet owners seeking licensing and microchipping of their pets; and
WHEREAS, while the City diligently continues in its efforts to complete the process of constructing the new shelter, the premises are not yet ready for use and the City continues to experience a high-level of stray animals; and
WHEREAS, based upon the above recitals, the City Council has determined that extending Waivers through December 31, 2024 by adopting this Resolution is necessary to preserve the health, safety, and welfare of the residents and pets of the City.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF VICTORVILLE DOES HEREBY RESOLVE, DETERMINE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:

Section 1. That the recitals and findings set forth above are true and correct and are hereby incorporated and made part of this Resolution by this reference.

Section 2. That all of the temporary fee and penalty waivers currently specified in Section

7.04.055 of Chapter 7.04 of Title 7 of the Victorville Municipal Code shall be extended through December 31, 2024 and shall automatically expire as of that date, unless the City Council takes action by resolution or ordinance to further extend them beyond December 31, 2024.

Item Number: 23
City Council / Board of Directors
Written Communications
Meeting of: June 18, 2024
Submitted By:

Keith C. Metzler, City Manager

Subject:

National Opioid Settlement Agreements
Recommendation:

That the Honorable City Council:
(1) Adopt Resolution No. 24-072, amending the annual budget for Fiscal Year 2023-2024; approving an increase in revenue and expenditures related to the National Opioids Settlement Agreements; and
(2) Authorize the City Manager to use all Opioid Settlement Fund Disbursements, including future funds, in accordance with the List of Opioid Remediation Uses provided in the Opioid Settlements.

Fiscal Impact:

Adopting Resolution No. 24-072 will increase the City’s Fiscal Year 2023-2024 revenue budget by $39,633.56 (2654020-47415-42006) and increase the expense appropriations by $39,633.56 (2654020-52300-42006). All future Opioid Settlement Fund Disbursements will be used in accordance with the List of Opioid Remediation Uses.

Strategic Plan Goal:

This item aligns with Goal D, Reduce Homelessness, focusing on implementing effective solutions to reduce homelessness.

Background:

On December 7, 2021, a Closed Session item was presented to the City Council relating to the National Prescription Opiate Litigation Settlements with opioid manufacturer Janssen Pharmaceuticals (parent company of Johnson & Johnson) and the “big three" distributors, McKesson, AmerisourceBergen, and Cardinal Health (“the Distributors") and authorized the City Manager as the City's authorized representative to take all reasonable and necessary actions related to the settlements. Since the initial settlements with Janssen and Distributors, additional National Opioid Settlements have been reached with 3 6
7 7
Teva, Allergan, Walmart, CVS, Walgreens, and Kroger, which the City has elected to participate in.

The National Opioid Settlement Agreements will provide substantial funds to states and eligible local governments for the abatement of the opioid epidemic across the country.

The settlement totals approximately $47 billion ($21 billion from the Distributors, $21 billion from Teva, Allergan, Walmart, CVS, Walgreens, and Kroger, and $5 billion from Janssen Pharmaceuticals). Of this potential $47 billion, approximately $45 billion in settlement proceeds are payable to state and local governments. Funds from each settlement will be distributed to the City for a period of up to eighteen (18) years.

The National Opioid Settlements will be distributed as follows:
•Distributors will pay a maximum of $21 billion over 18 years; •Teva is to pay up to $3.34 billion over 13 years and to provide either $1.2 billion of its generic version of the drug Narcan over 10 years or $240 million of cash in lieu of product, as each state may elect;
•Allergan to pay up to $2.02 billion over 7 years;
•Walmart to pay up to $2.74 billion in 2023, and all payments to be made within 6 years;
•CVS to pay up to $4.90 billion over 10 years;
•Walgreens to pay up to $5.52 billion over 15 years;
•Janssen will pay a maximum of $5 billion over no more than nine years; and •Kroger up to $1.4 billion over 11 years
The settlement proceeds to be paid to state and local governments are proportional to the number of state and local governments that approve the settlements. Based on the allocation formula for the states, the maximum amount California will receive will be approximately $2.05 billion from the Distributors and Janssen Agreements, and the multistate settlements with Teva, Allergan, Walmart, CVS, Walgreens, and Kroger are currently pending. Victorville will receive approximately $415,000 over 18 years.

Discussion:

Thus far, the City has received $100,886.31 from the National Opioid Settlements. These settlement funds are restricted on how they can be expended and must align with the List of Opioid Remediation Uses shown in Attachment B. The City has expended $9,915.93 of the settlement funds on Naloxone to allow staff the ability to assist with a medical emergency of an opioid overdose should one occur. Certain employees in Code Compliance, Animal Control, Community Services, Water, Public Works, and Planning are participating in the voluntary program and have completed the City’s mandatory training.

After reviewing the qualified opioid remediation uses from the Opioid Settlements, staff recommends that the funds should be used for the following:
3 6
7 7

1. Additional training for the Wellness Center and City staff. Training will include topics such as resilience, motivational interviewing, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), transtheoretical model of behavioral change, integrity, fidelity, skill enhancements, trauma-informed care, interactive journaling, opioid overdose first aid, and life-saving CPR/First Aid/AED training.

2. Naloxone or other FDA-approved drug to reverse opioid overdoses.

3. Comprehensive wraparound services to individuals in recovery, including housing, transportation, and job placement/training at both the Wellness Center and through community outreach. Support the shelter and wraparound services at the Wellness Center and the City’s outreach services related to opioid remediation uses.

4. Providing awareness of the opioid crisis through potential campaigns.

5. Any other expenditures in accordance with the List of Opioid Remediation Uses.

Staff anticipates the continued need for substance abuse services at the Wellness Center and through community outreach. Evidence-based psychoeducation, awareness, staff training, and wraparound services already exist at the Wellness Center. Enhancing the wraparound services will help support the wellness of those individuals in need and address the opioid crisis by improving staff's ability to provide impactful and appropriate services. This will also broaden the scope of recovery services to solidify a heightened approach that would best benefit the client.

Staff recommends that the Honorable City Council adopt Resolution No. 24-072 and authorize the City Manager to use all Opioid Settlement Fund Disbursements, including future funds, in accordance with the List of Opioid Remediation Uses provided in the Opioid Settlements. Staff remains available for any questions the City Council may have.

Item Number: 24
City Council / Board of Directors
Written Communications
Meeting of: June 18, 2024
Submitted By:

Keith C. Metzler, City Manager

Subject:

Agreement Between the County of San Bernardino and the City of Victorville for the New Police Station and Civic Plaza
Recommendation:

That the Honorable City Council:
(1) Adopt Resolution No. 24-056 authorizing a contract between the City of Victorville and San Bernardino County to receive funding in the amount not-to-exceed $3,700,000 for the new Police Station and Civic Plaza;
(2) Adopt Resolution No. 24-057, amending the annual budget for Fiscal Year 2024-2025; approving an increase in revenue and expenditures; and
(3) Authorize the City Manager to execute all documents to effectuate the contract.

Fiscal Impact:

The proposed action requires an additional appropriation of $3,700,000 in both revenues and expenditures to the City’s Fiscal Year 2024-2025 budget, as outlined in Resolution No. 24-057 (attachment B), to aid the City in its effort to construct a new Police Station and Civic Plaza. The final contract received from San Bernardino County was after the Fiscal Year 2024-2025 budget was approved; therefore, it requires amending the budget for the next Fiscal year.

Strategic Plan Goal:

This item aligns with Goal B, Public Safety, implementing public safety strategies to support a thriving and growing community.

Background:

On April 12, 2024, the County of San Bernardino (County), on behalf of San Bernardino County Supervisor Paul Cook’s office informed staff of potential allocations through the Board of Supervisors (Board) Discretionary Funding. The Board adopted a policy for the Priorities Program projects to help promote the vision of a complete County by 3 6
6 4
recognizing the unique traits of each Supervisorial District and, thereby, allow individual Board Districts to work with community partners through County services and contractual agreements to identify programs, projects, and initiatives that support the vision, meet a public purpose and provide services to residents that promote health, safety, economic well-being, education, recreation, and other public services that enhance quality of life, and meet the needs of the County’s residents. Projects under the District Specific Priorities Program are based on the District Board of Supervisors Discretionary Fund - District Specific Priorities Program approved on February 6, 2024.

Discussion:

The City of Victorville is in the process of designing a new Police Station and Civic Plaza at the Northwest corner of Civic Drive and Seneca Road. On April 2, 2024, the City Council approved the Purchase and Sale Agreement involving four vacant parcels totaling approximately +9.18 acres for the future Police Station and Civic Plaza and on May 13, 2024, successfully closed escrow acquiring said parcels. The next phase of this project is a new conceptual design that will build upon the previously developed program and conceptual plans followed by Phase 2 of the schematic design.

The contract with the County will allocate funds to the City in an amount not-to-exceed $3,700,000. Said funds are to be allocated to the City in the amount of $2,500,000 for land acquisition costs and $1,200,000 for Phase 1 Conceptual Design and Phase 2 Schematic Design costs related to the Police Station and Civic Plaza. In Section B.5 of the contract, the City is required to provide a 25% match or $925,000. The costs for this project will exceed the City’s match requirement and will be satisfied based on the overall project costs.

Measure P funded the acquisition costs for the parcels mentioned above and will fund Phases 1 and 2 of the project in the forthcoming months. Once Phases 1 and 2 are complete, the City will submit a final expenditure report to the County, and upon approval from the County, the City will receive one lump sum payment to reimburse the Measure P fund.

Staff recommends that the Honorable City Council adopt Resolution No. 24-056 authorizing a contract between the City of Victorville and San Bernardino County to receive funding in the amount not-to-exceed $3,700,000 for the new Police Station and Civic Plaza, adopt Resolution No. 24-057, amending the annual budget for Fiscal Year 2024-2025; approving an increase in revenue and expenditures and authorize the City Manager to execute all documents to effectuate the contract. Staff remains available for any questions or comments you may have.

1. Determination of Prevailing Rates:

Pursuant to Labor Code sections 1770, et seq., the County has obtained from the Director of the Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) pursuant to the California Labor Code, the general prevailing rates of per diem wages and the prevailing rates for holi day and overtime work in the locality in which the Scope of Work is to be performed. Copies of said rates are on file with the County, will be made available for inspection during regular business hours, may be included elsewhere in the specifications for the Scope of Work, and are also available online at www.dir.ca.gov. The wage rate for any classification not listed, but which may be required to execute the Scope of Work, shall be commensurate and in accord with specified rates for similar or comparable classifications for those performing similar or comparable duties. In accordance with Labor Code section 1773.2, the Contractor shall post, at appropriate and conspicuous locations on the job site, a schedule showing all applicable prevailing wage rates and shall comply with the requirements of Labor Code sections 1773, et seq.

2. Payment of Prevailing Rates
Each worker of the Contractor, or any subcontractor, engaged in the Scope of Work, shall be paid not less than the general prevailing wage rate, regardless of any contractual relationship which may be alleged to exist between the Contractor or any subcontractor, and such worker.

3. Prevailing Rate Penalty
The Contractor shall, as a penalty, forfeit two hundred dollars ($200.00) to the County for each calendar day or portion thereof, for each worker paid less than the prevailing rates as determined by the Director of the DIR for such work or craft in which such worker is employed by the Contractor or by any subcontractor in connection with the Scope of Work. Pursuant to California Labor Code section 1775, the difference between such prevailing wage rates and the amount paid to each worker for each calendar day, or portion thereof, for which each worker was paid less than the prevailing wage rate, shall be paid to each worker by the Contractor.

4. Ineligible Contractors:

Pursuant to the provisions of Labor Code section 1777.1, the Labor Commissioner publishes and distributes a list of contractors ineligible to perform work as a contractor or subcontractor on a public works project.

This list of debarred contractors is available from the DIR website at http://www.dir.ca.gov/Public- Works/PublicWorks.html. Any contract entered into between a contractor and a debarred subcontractor is void as a matter of law. A debarred subcontractor may not receive any public money for performing work as a subcontractor on a public works contract, and any public money that may have been paid to a debarred subcontractor by a contractor on the project shall be returned to the County. The Contractor shall be responsible for the payment of wages to workers as a debarred subcontractor who has been allowed to work on the Scope of Work.

5. Payroll Records:
a. Pursuant to California Labor Code section 1776, the Contractor and each subcontractor, shall keep accurate certified payroll records, showing the name, address, social security number, work classification, straight time and overtime hours worked each day and week, and the actual per diem wages paid to each journeyman, apprentice, worker or other employee employed by them in connection with the Scope of Work. The payroll records enumerated herein shall be verified by a written declaration made under penalty of perjury that the information contained in the payroll record is true and correct and that the Contractor or subcontractor has complied with the requirements of the California Labor Code sections 1771, 1811, and 1815 for any Scope of Work performed by his or her employees. The payroll records shall be available for inspection at all reasonable hours at the principal office of the Contractor on the following basis:

A certified copy of all payroll records shall be made available for inspection or furnished upon request to the County, the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement of the DIR;

iii. A certified copy of payroll records shall be made available upon request to the public for inspection or copies thereof made; provided, however, that a request by the public shall be made through either the County or the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement. If the requested payroll records have not been previously provided to the County or the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement, the requesting party shall, prior to being provided the records, reimburse the cost of preparation by the Contractor, subcontractor and the entity through which the request was made; the public shall not be given access to such records at the principal office of the Contractor;
iv. The Contractor shall file a certified copy of the payroll records with the entity that requested such records within ten (10) days after receipt of a written request; and v. Copies provided to the public, by the County or the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement shall be marked or obliterated in such a manner as to prevent disclosure of an individual's name, address and social security number. The name and address of the C ontractor or any subcontractor, performing a part of the Scope of Work shall not be marked or obliterated. The Contractor shall inform the County of the location of payroll records, including the street address, city and county and shall, within five (5) working days, provide a notice of a change of location and address.
b. The Contractor shall have ten (10) days from receipt of the written notice specifying in what respects the Contractor must comply with the above requirements. In the event Contractor does not comply with the requirements of this section within the ten (10) day period, the Contractor shall, as a penalty to the County, forfeit one-hundred dollars ($100.00) for each calendar day, or portion thereof, for each worker, until strict compliance is effectuated. Upon the request of the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement, such penalty shall be withheld from any portion of the payments then due or to become due to the Contractor.

6. Limits on Hours of Work:

Pursuant to California Labor Code section 1810, eight (8) hours of labor shall constitute a legal day's work.

Pursuant to California Labor Code section 1811, the time of service of any worker employed at any time by the Contractor or by a subcontractor, upon the Scope of Work or upon any part of the Scope of Work, is limited and restricted to eight (8) hours during any one calendar day and forty (40) hours during any one calendar week, except as provided for under Labor Code section 1815. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, work performed by employees of Contractor or any subcontractor, in excess of eight (8) hours per day and forty (40) hours during any one week, shall be permitted upon compensation for all hours worked in excess of eight (8) hours per day at not less than one and one -half (1½) times the basic rate of pay.

7. Penalty for Excess Hours:

The Contractor shall pay to the County a penalty of twenty-five dollars ($25.00) for each worker employed on the Scope of Work by the Contractor or any subcontractor, for each calendar day during which such worker is required or permitted to work more than eight (8) hours in any calendar day and forty (40) hours in any one calendar week, in violation of the provisions of the California Labor Code, unless compensation to the worker so employed by the Contractor is not less than one and one-half (1½) times the basic rate of pay for all hours worked in excess of eight (8) hours per day.

(B) Beginning June 1, 2019, a contractor may register or renew according to this subdivision in annual increments up to three years from the date of registration. Contractors who wish to do so will be required to prepay the applicable nonrefundable application or renewal fees to qualify for the number of years for which they wish to preregister.
(2) Provide evidence, disclosures, or releases as are necessary to establish all of the following:
(A) Workers' compensation coverage that meets the requirements of Division 4 (commencing with Section 3200) and includes sufficient coverage for any worker whom the contractor employs to perform work that is subject to prevailing wage requirements other than a contractor who is separately registered under this section.

c. Labor Code section 1771.1 states the following:
“(a) A contractor or subcontractor shall not be qualified to bid on, be listed in a bid proposal, subject to the requirements of Section 4104 of the Public Contract Code, or engage in the performance of any contract for public work, as defined in this chapter, unless currently registered and qualified to perform public work pursuant to Section 1725.5. It is not a violation of this section for an unregistered contractor to submit a bid that is authorized by Section 7029.1 of the Business and Professions Code or by Section 10164 or 20103.5 of the Public Contract Code, provided the contractor is registered to perform public work pursuant to Section 1725.5 at the time the contract is awarded. (b) Notice of the requirement described in subdivision (a) shall be included in all bid invitations and public works contracts, and a bid shall not be accepted nor any contract or subcontract entered into without proof of the contractor or subcontractor's current registration to perform public work pursuant to Section 1725.5.
(c) An inadvertent error in listing a subcontractor who is not registered pursuant to Section 1725.5 in a bid proposal shall not be grounds for filing a bid protest or grounds for considering the bid nonresponsive, provided that any of the following apply:
(1) The subcontractor is registered prior to the bid opening. (2) Within 24 hours after the bid opening, the subcontractor is registered and has paid the penalty registration fee specified in subparagraph (E) of paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) of Section 1725.5. (3) The subcontractor is replaced by another registered subcontractor pursuant to Section 4107 of the Public Contract Code.
(d) Failure by a subcontractor to be registered to perform public work as required by subdivision (a) shall be grounds under Section 4107 of the Public Contract Code for the contractor, with the consent of the

awarding authority, to substitute a subcontractor who is registered to perform public work pursuant to Section 1725.5 in place of the unregistered subcontractor. (e) The department shall maintain on its Internet Web site a list of contractors who are currently registered to perform public work pursuant to Section 1725.5. (f) A contract entered into with any contractor or subcontractor in violation of subdivision (a) shall be subject to cancellation, provided that a contract for public work shall not be unlawful, void, or voidable solely due to the failure of the awarding body, contractor, or any subcontractor to comply with the requirements of Section 1725.5 or this section.
(g) If the Labor Commissioner or his or her designee determines that a contractor or subcontractor engaged in the performance of any public work contract without having been registered in accordance with this section, the contractor or subcontractor shall forfeit, as a civil penalty to the state, one hundred dollars ($100) for each day of work performed in violation of the registration requirement, not to exceed an aggregate penalty of eight thousand dollars ($8,000) in addition to any penalty registration fee assessed pursuant to clause (ii) of subparagraph (E) of paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) of Section 1725.5.
(h)(1) In addition to, or in lieu of, any other penalty or sanction authorized pursuant to this chapter, a higher tiered public works contractor or subcontractor who is found to have entered into a subcontract with an unregistered lower tier subcontractor to perform any public work in violation of the requirements of Section 1725.5 or this section shall be subject to forfeiture, as a civil penalty to the state, of one hundred dollars ($100) for each day the unregistered lower tier subcontractor performs work in violation of the registration requirement, not to exceed an aggregate penalty of ten thousand dollars ($10,000). (2) The Labor Commissioner shall use the same standards specified in subparagraph (A) of paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) of Section 1775 when determining the severity of the violation and what penalty to assess, and may waive the penalty for a first time violation that was unintentional and did not hinder the Labor Commissioner’s ability to monitor and enforce compliance with the requirements of this chapter. (3) A higher tiered public works contractor or subcontractor shall not be liable for penalties assessed pursuant to paragraph (1) if the lower tier subcontractor’s performance is in violation of the requirements of Section 1725.5 due to the revocation of a previously approved registration. (4) A subcontractor shall not be liable for any penalties assessed against a higher tiered public works contractor or subcontractor pursuant to paragraph (1). A higher tiered public works contractor or subcontractor may not require a lower tiered subcontr actor to indemnity or otherwise be liable for any penalties pursuant to paragraph (1).
(i) The Labor Commissioner or his or her designee shall issue a civil wage and penalty assessment, in accordance with the provisions of Section 1741, upon determination of penalties pursuant to subdivision (g) and subparagraph (B) of paragraph (1) of subdi vision (h).

The regulations of the Director of Industrial Relations, which govern proceedings for review of civil wage and penalty assessments and the withholding of contract payments under Article 1 (commencing with Section 1720) and Article 2 (commencing with Section 1770), shall apply. (j)(1) Where a contractor or subcontractor engages in the performance of any public work contract without having been registered in violation of the requirements of Section 1725.5 or this section, the Labor Commissioner shall issue and serve a stop order prohibiting the use of the unregistered contractor or the unregistered subcontractor on all public works until the unregistered contractor or unregistered subcontractor is registered.

(2) A stop order may be personally served upon the contractor or subcontractor by either of the following methods:
(A) Manual delivery of the order to the contractor or subcontractor personally. (B) Leaving signed copies of the order with the person who is apparently in charge at the site of the public work and by thereafter mailing copies of the order by first class mail, postage prepaid to the contractor or subcontractor at one of the following:
(i) The address of the contractor or subcontractor on file with either the Secretary of State or the Contractors’ State License Board.
(ii) If the contractor or subcontractor has no address on file with the Secretary of State or the Contractors’ State License Board, the address of the site of the public work. (3) The stop order shall be effective immediately upon service and shall be subject to appeal by the party contracting with the unregistered contractor or subcontractor, by the unregistered contractor or

subcontractor, or both. The appeal, hearing, and any further review of the hearing decision shall be governed by the procedures, time limits, and other requirements specified in subdivision (a) of Section 238.1.
(4) Any employee of an unregistered contractor or subcontractor who is affected by a work stoppage ordered by the commissioner pursuant to this subdivision shall be paid at his or her regular hourly prevailing wage rate by that employer for any hours the employee would have worked but for the work stoppage, not to exceed 10 days.
(k) Failure of a contractor or subcontractor, owner, director, officer, or managing agent of the contractor or subcontractor to observe a stop order issued and served upon him or her pursuant to subdivision (j) is guilty of a misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment in county jail not exceeding 60 days or by a fine not exceeding ten thousand dollars ($10,000), or both.
(l) This section shall apply to any bid proposal submitted on or after March 1, 2015, and any contract for public work entered into on or after April 1, 2015.

B. STATE PUBLIC WORKS APPRENTICESHIP REQUIREMENTS

1. State Public Works Apprenticeship Requirements:
a. The Contractor is responsible for compliance with Labor Code section 1777.5 and the California Code of Regulations, title 8, sections 230 – 230.2 for all apprenticeable occupations (denoted with “#” symbol next to craft name in DIR Prevailing Wage Determination), whether employed by the Contractor, subcontractor, vendor or consultant. Included in these requirements is (1) the Contractor’s requirement to provide notification (i.e. DAS-140) to the appropriate apprenticeship committees; (2) pay training fund contributions for each apprenticeable hour employed on the Contract; and (3) utilize apprentices in a minimum ratio of not less than one apprentice hour for each five journeyman hours by completion of Contract work (unless an exception is granted in accordance with Labor Code section 1777.5) or request for the dispatch of apprentices.
b. Any apprentices employed to perform any of the Scope of Work shall be paid the standard wage to apprentices under the regulations of the craft or trade for which such apprentice is employed, and such individual shall be employed only for the work of the craft or trade to which such individual is registered.

Only apprentices, as defined in California Labor Code section 3077, who are in training under apprenticeship standards and written apprenticeship agreements under California Labor Code sections 3070 et seq. are eligible to be employed for the Scope of Work. The employment and training of each apprentice shall be in accordance with the provisions of the apprenticeship standards and apprentice agreements under which such apprentice is training.

2. Compliance with California Labor Code section 1777.5 requires all public works contractors to:
a. Submit Contract Award Information (DAS-140):
i. Although there are a few exemptions (identified below), all Contractors, regardless of union affiliation, must submit contract award information when performing on a California public works project.
ii. The DAS-140 is a notification “announcement” of the Contractor’s participation on a public works project—it is not a request for the dispatch of an apprentice. iii. Contractors shall submit the contract award information (you may use form DAS 140) within 10 days of the execution of the prime contract or subcontract, but in no event later than the first day in which the Contractor has workers employed on the public work. iv. Contractors who are already approved to train apprentices (i.e. check “Box 1” on the DAS-140) shall only be required to submit the form to their approved program. v. Contractors who are NOT approved to train apprentices (i.e. those that check either “Box 2” or “Box 3” on the DAS -140) shall submit the DAS -140 TO EACH of the apprenticeship program sponsors in the area of your public works project. For a listing of apprenticeship programs see http://www.dir.ca.gov/Databases/das/pwaddrstart.asp.
b. Employ Registered Apprentices
i. Labor Code section 1777.5 requires that a contractor performing work in an “apprenticeable” craft must employ one (1) hour of apprentice work for every five (5) hours performed by a journeyman. This ratio shall be met prior to the Contractor’s completion of work on the project. “Apprenticeable” crafts are denoted with a pound symbol “#” in front of the craft name on the prevailing wage determination.
ii. All Contractors who do not fall within an exemption category (see below) must request for dispatch of an apprentice from an apprenticeship program (for each apprenticeable craft or trade) by giving the program actual notice of at least 72 hours (business days only) before the date on which apprentices are required.
iii. Contractors may use the “DAS-142” form for making a request for the dispatch of an apprentice. iv. Contractors who are participating in an approved apprenticeship training program and who did not receive sufficient number of apprentices from their initial request must request dispatch of apprentices from ALL OTHER apprenticeship committees in the project area in order to fulfill this requirement.

v. Contractor should maintain and submit proof (when requested) of its DAS -142 submittal to the apprenticeship committees (e.g. fax transmittal confirmation). A Contractor has met its requirement to employ apprentices only after it has successfully made a di spatch request to all apprenticeship programs in the project area.
vi. Only “registered” apprentices may be paid the prevailing apprentice rates and must, at all times work under the supervision of a Journeyman (Cal. Code Regs., tit 8, § 230.1). c. Make Training Fund Contributions
i. Contractors performing in apprenticeable crafts on public works projects, must make training fund contributions in the amount established in the prevailing wage rate publication for journeymen and apprentices.
ii. Contractors may use the “CAC-2” form for submittal of their training fund contributions. iii. Contractors who do not submit their training fund contributions to an approved apprenticeship training program must submit their contributions to the California Apprenticeship Council (CAC), PO Box 420603, San Francisco, CA 94142-0603.
iv. Training fund contributions to the CAC are due and payable on the 15th day of the month for work performed during the preceding month.
v. The “training” contribution amount identified on the prevailing wage determination shall not be paid to the worker, unless the worker falls within one of the exemption categories listed below.

3. Exemptions to Apprenticeship Requirements:
a. The following are exempt from having to comply with California apprenticeship requirements. These types of contractors do not need to submit a DAS -140, DAS-142, make training fund contributions, or utilize apprentices:
i. When the Contractor holds a sole proprietor license (“Owner -Operator”) and no workers were employed by the Contractor. In other words, the contractor performed the entire work from start to finish and worked alone.
ii. Contractors performing in non-apprenticeable crafts. “Apprenticeable” crafts are denoted with a pound symbol “#” in front of the craft name on the prevailing wage determination. iii. When the Contractor has a direct contract with the Public Agency that is under $30,000. iv. When the project is 100% federally-funded and the funding of the project does not contain any city, county, and/or state monies (unless the project is administered by a state agency in which case the apprenticeship requirements apply).
v. When the project is a private project not covered by the definition of public works as found in Labor Code section 1720.

4. Exemption from Apprenticeship Rations:
a. The Joint Apprenticeship Committee shall have the discretion to grant a certificate, which shall be subject to the approval of the Administrator of Apprenticeship, exempting the Contractor from the 1-to- 5 ratio set forth in this Section when it finds that any one of the following conditions are met:
i. Unemployment for the previous three-month period in such area exceeds an average of fifteen percent (15%); or
ii. The number of apprentices in training in such area exceeds a ratio of 1- to-5 in relation to journeymen; or
iii. The Apprenticeable Craft or Trade is replacing at least one- thirtieth (1/30) of its journeymen annually through apprenticeship training, either on a statewide basis or on a local basis; or iv. If assignment of an apprentice to any work performed under the Contract Documents would create a condition which would jeopardize such apprentice's life or the life, safety or property of fellow employees or the public at large, or if the specific task to which the apprentice is to be assigned is of such a nature that training cannot be provided by a journeyman. b. When such exemptions from the 1 -to-5 ratio between apprentices and journeymen are granted to an organization which represents contractors in a specific trade on a local or statewide basis, the member contractors will not be required to submit individual applications for approval to local Joint Apprenticeship Committees, provided they are already covered by the local apprenticeship standards.

5. Contractor’s Compliance:

a. The responsibility of compliance with this Section for all Apprenticeable Trades or Crafts is solely and exclusively that of the Contractor. All decisions of the Joint Apprenticeship Committee(s) under this Section are subject to the provisions of California Labor Code section 3081 and penalties are pursuant to Labor Code section 1777.7 and the determination of the Labor Commissioner.

Strategic Plan Goal:

This item aligns with Goal A “Financial Sustainability” and Goal E “Invest in Infrastructure” in the City of Victorville Strategic Plan 2023-2026. Annual assessment revenue supports the expenses for operations, maintenance, and improvement of associated landscaping, parks, and infrastructure.

Background:

In 1987, the City Council established the first Landscape Maintenance Assessment District (LMAD) to fund the perpetual maintenance of the landscaped areas along major and secondary arterial roadways adjacent to housing developments. In 2003, the City Council established the first Drainage Facilities Assessment District (DFAD) to fund the perpetual maintenance of drainage basins and channels in housing developments. In 2006, the City Council established the first Maintenance Assessment District (MAD) to fund the perpetual maintenance of parks within housing developments. In July of 2013, the City-Wide Street Lighting Assessment District (SLAD) was established to provide a supplemental funding source for the perpetual maintenance of the City’s street lighting, safety lighting, and traffic signal lighting systems and facilities. All of these Assessment Districts were formed under the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972, Section 22605 of the Streets and Highways Code, Section 22500 et seq. as per the requirements set forth in Proposition 218. Per Section 22624, the Council is first asked to initiate proceedings and order the Engineer’s Reports, preliminarily approve the Engineer’s Reports, and declare intent to levy and set the Public Hearing date. This procedure allows the public to review the Engineer’s Reports and staff to make any needed changes or corrections. The final Engineer’s Reports are presented at a subsequent Public Hearing meeting.

Discussion:

Currently, the City has a total of 15 assessment districts: eight LMADs, three DFADs, three MADs, and one City-Wide SLAD. The Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972 requires an annual confirmation of the assessments to be applied for each parcel within the assessment districts, along with an Engineer’s Report. The Engineer’s Report for each assessment district describes the following: improvements that are maintained; services provided for maintenance and operations; estimated annual expenses; properties 3 6
6 7
assessed in the district; the method of apportionment of the assessment; the calculated assessment per benefit unit; and estimated assessment revenues.

The chart below lists each assessment district, the assessment amount per benefit unit, year the assessment district was formed, whether a cost inflator is allowed and, if so, the recommended increase for Fiscal Year 2024/2025.

LMAD 4 $1.64 1997 No 0%
LMAD 5 $141.84 2002 Yes 0%
LMAD 6 $144.70 2003 Yes 0%
LMAD 7 $105.45 2005 Yes 0%
LMAD 8 $165.32 2005 Yes 0%
DFAD 1 $216.46 2003 Yes 0%
DFAD 2 $69.63 2003 Yes 0%
DFAD 3 $128.86 2006 Yes 0%
MAD 1 $173.00 2006 Yes 0%
MAD 2 $252.58 2006 Yes 0%
MAD 3 TBD 2020 Yes 0%
SLAD City-Wide $22.38 2013 Yes 15%
A cost escalation of the assessment rate is allowed for cost increases of electric power, administrative costs, and inflation on cost of living. This fiscal year, a 15% increase of the assessment rate for SLAD and no increases are recommended for LMADs 5-8, DFADs 1-3 and MADs 1-3 as those districts have adequate cash balances in their corresponding funds. The Engineer’s Reports include more details regarding the number of parcels and how the rates are applied. These reports can be revised, if needed, to be consistent with the final FY 2024/2025 budget revenues and expenses. The final reports will be presented during the scheduled Public Hearing. If the attached resolutions are approved, the Public Hearing will be held on July 16, 2024.

Therefore, staff recommends that the City Council:
(1) Approve Resolution Nos. 24-058, 24-061, 24-064, and 24-067 authorizing the initiation of proceedings for the annual levy of assessments for the Drainage Facilities Assessments Districts, Landscaping Maintenance Assessment Districts, Maintenance Assessment Districts, and the City-Wide Streetlight Assessment District for Fiscal Year 2024/2025.
(2) Approve Resolution Nos. 24-059, 24-062, 24-065, and 24-068 preliminarily approving the consolidated Engineer’s Reports filed in support of the levy of assessments for Fiscal Year 2024/2025; and

(3) Approve Resolutions Nos. 24-060, 24-063, 24-066, and 24-069 declaring its intention to levy the maintenance assessment districts for Fiscal Year 2024/2025 and setting a Public Hearing date of July 16, 2024.

Staff remains available for any questions the Council may have.

1. OVERVIEW
A. INTRODUCTION
The City of Victorville (City) Maintenance Assessment Districts (MADs) annually levy and collect special assessments in order to maintain landscape and park site improvements. These improvements are located within three (3) Maintenance Assessment Districts (“Districts” or individually referred to as the “District”) identified as Nos. 1, 2, and 3 established pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, Part 2 of Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code (the “1972 Act”).

This Engineer’s Report (Report) describes the MADs therein, annexations, any changes to the Districts, and the proposed assessments for Fiscal Year 2024/2025. The proposed assessments presented in this Report are based on the historical and estimated costs to maintain the improvements that provide special benefits to properties within the Districts therein. The costs of improvements and the annual levy include the expenditures, deficits, surpluses, revenues, and reserves associated with those improvements. Each parcel is assessed proportionately for only those improvements provided and for which the parcel receives benefits.

This Report for the Districts has been prepared pursuant to Sections 22622, in accordance with Article 4 (commencing with Section 22565) of Chapter 1 of the 1972 Act. The Report and the proposed assessments contained herein have been prepared in accordance with said requirements and the provisions of the California Constitution Article XIII D.

This Report, certified by a licensed engineer, details the Districts, and includes plans and specifications of the improvements; a diagram, i.e. maps of the Districts showing the boundary of the Districts, the parcels or lots which benefit from the improvements, maintenance, and servicing, and an estimate of their respective costs. Once the Report is completed, it is presented to the Victorville City Council (City Council), acting as the legislative body for the Districts, for its review. The City Council may approve the Report as presented or may order amendments to the Report and approve the Report as modified.

After the Report is preliminarily approved, the City Council shall adopt the Resolution of Intention which declares its intent to levy and collect assessments within the Districts, which includes a description of the improvements, the maintenance and servicing of those improvements, refers to the assessment Districts by their distinctive designations, may refer to the Report for the details of the Districts, and sets the time and place for a public hearing on the levy of the proposed annual assessments.

At the public hearing, the City Council will consider any public testimony in favor of and/or opposing the assessments to fund the continued maintenance and servicing of the improvements. In conjunction with this hearing, any new or increased assessments over the approved maximum assessment rate will require confirmation of the assessments through a property owner protest ballot proceeding pursuant to the provisions of the California Constitution Article XIII D. For Fiscal Year 2024/2025, there is no proposed rate increase in excess or above the maximum rate and assessment range formula approved at the time of formation of each District.

Following final approval of the Report and confirmation of the assessments, the City Council may order the levy and collection of assessments for Fiscal Year 2024/2025 pursuant to the 2024/2025 Consolidated Report Maintenance Assessment Districts Page 1

1972 Act. In such case, the assessment information will be submitted to the County of San Bernardino Auditor-Controller and included on the property tax roll for each benefiting parcel for Fiscal Year 2024/2025.

For the purposes of this Report, the word “parcel” refers to an individual property assigned its own Assessor’s Parcel Number (APN) by the County of San Bernardino Assessor’s Office. The County of San Bernardino Auditor-Controller uses APNs and specific Fund Numbers to identify properties on the tax roll assessed for special district benefit assessments.

If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, portion, zone, or subzone of this Engineer’s Report is, for any reason, held to be invalid or unconstitutional by the decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Engineer’s Report and each section, subsection, subdivision, sentence, clause, phrase, portion, zone, or subzone thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, sentences, clauses, phrases, portions, zones, or subzones might subsequently be declared invalid or unconstitutional.

B. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
The residential subdivision plans for the tracts within each District were submitted to the City by developers and were approved with certain conditions. One such condition required a means to fund the perpetual maintenance of landscaping within the public right-of-ways, parks, and dedicated easement areas. To meet this condition, the developer, as sole-owner of the subdivision property, petitioned the City to form an assessment district. The Districts were then formed by City Council Resolutions in accordance with the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972 (hereinafter called “Act”), which is Part 2, Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code, in order to provide a funding source for the administration, operations and maintenance, and servicing of the park and landscaping improvements within the Districts. Each parcel within the Districts is assessed at a rate equitable to the budget, not exceeding the maximum allowable rate for the District as identified in section III.H of this report. Future improvement parcels are assessed $1.00 annually for MAD No. 1 and 2, and $2.00 annually for MAD No. 3 until such a time the improvements are constructed.

MAD No. 1 (Las Haciendas)
In 2006, Maintenance Assessment District No. 1 was formed by Resolutions 06-007 and 06- 008. The District consists of six (6) tracts and 84,701 square feet of landscaping and park site area located within.

MAD No. 2 (Lane’s Crossing)
In 2006, Maintenance Assessment District No. 2, was formed by Resolutions 06-176 and 06- 177. The District consists of eleven (11) tracts and 24,354 square feet of landscaping and conceptual park site areas that are located within.

MAD No. 3 (West Creek)
In 2020, Maintenance Assessment District No. 3, was formed by Resolutions 20-017 and 20-058. This District consists of subdivisions and parcels of land in the City of Victorville West Creek Specific Plan area, which includes eleven (11) tracts, five (5) park site lots, consisting of four (4) parks, associated public rights-of-way and easements as identified on the approved tentative tract maps for the overall project.

The continued maintenance of these improvements shall be budgeted and reviewed each fiscal year and fully or partially funded through the annual assessments. The specific park improvements to be serviced and maintained are identified in various plans and documents associated with the individual subdivision projects, which are on file with the City and by reference are made part of this Report.

All assessable parcels identified as being within each District share in both the cost and the benefits of the improvements. The costs and expenses associated with the improvements in each District are equitably spread among all benefiting parcels within the District and only parcels that receive special benefit from the improvements are assessed in proportion to benefit received. The funds collected from the assessments are dispersed and used for the services and operation provided within the District. Properties receive the following special benefits from each Districts landscape and lighting improvements:
￿ Enhanced desirability of properties through association with the improvements and the aesthetic value of green space within the area.

III. METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT
A. CODE SECTION
Part 2 of Division 15 of the Streets and Highways Code, the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, permits the establishment of Assessment Districts by cities for the purpose of providing certain public improvements which include the acquisition, construction, maintenance, and servicing of streetlights, traffic signals and landscaping facilities.

Section 22573, Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 requires that assessments be levied according to benefit rather than according to assessed value. This section states:
"The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an Assessment District may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements.”
In addition, Proposition 218 requires that a parcel's assessment may not exceed the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel. Proposition 218 provides that only special benefits are assessable, and the City must separate the general benefits from the special benefits.

B. REASON FOR THE ASSESSMENT
The assessment is proposed to be levied to defray the costs of the acquisition, installation, maintenance and servicing of landscaping and lighting and park improvements.

C. LANDSCAPE GENERAL BENEFIT
Section 4 of the California Constitution Article XIII D 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 assessment imposed.

It has been determined that in most cases, the benefits conferred on other properties or to the public at large are more general in nature and are not considered special benefits. For example, the proper maintenance of landscaping and landscape appurtenant facilities within the Districts control dust from blowing onto properties within the Districts but may also indirectly control dust from blowing onto properties outside of the Districts. The spraying and treating of landscaping for disease reduces the likelihood of insect infestation and other diseases spreading to landscaping throughout the Districts, but also reduces the likelihood that other properties would be affected. In addition, the proper maintenance of landscaping and landscape ornamental structures provides a positive visual experience to persons passing by the Districts. Although these examples could be considered benefits, they are clearly incidental benefits conferred by the proper maintenance of the improvements and not a direct and special benefit to any properties other than those for which the improvements are maintained. The improvements in the Districts create a common landscape theme and neighborhood identity for the parcels within each residential subdivision. Only the parcels which are within the residential subdivisions will be assessed. Accordingly, there is a direct physical and visual nexus between the parcels being assessed and the funding of the improvements that does not exist for those parcels outside of the District boundaries. Therefore, it has been determined that all improvements provided by the Districts are considered only special benefits for assessment purposes unless otherwise noted. Any portion of the improvements and the costs associated 2024/2025 Consolidated Report Maintenance Assessment Districts Page 7

with those improvements determined to be a quantifiable general benefit will be funded from other revenue sources and will be excluded from the special benefit assessments.

D. LANDSCAPE SPECIAL BENEFIT
Section 2(i) of the California Constitution Article XIII D identifies special benefit as, “a particular and distinct benefit over and above the 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.” determining the proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel, the proximity of the parcel to the public improvements detailed in Section II.A., and operating costs of said public improvements, was considered and analyzed. Section 4(a) of the California Constitution Article XIII D states, “No assessment shall be imposed on any parcel which exceeds the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel.

Only special benefits are assessable, and an agency shall separate the general benefits from the special benefits conferred on a parcel.”
Due to the close proximity of the parcels to the improvements, it has been demonstrated and determined the parcels are uniquely benefited by, and receive a direct advantage from, and are conferred a particular and distinct special benefit over and above general benefits by, said public improvements in a way that is particular and distinct from its effect on other parcels and that real property in general and the public at large do not share.

Trees, landscaping, hardscaping, ornamental structures, and appurtenant facilities, if well maintained, confer a particular and distinct special benefit upon real property within each District by providing beautification, shade and positive enhancement of the community character, attractiveness, and desirability of the surroundings. In addition, all of the aforementioned contributes to a specific increase in property desirability and a specific enhancement of the property value of each parcel within each District which confers a particular and distinct special benefit upon the real property within each District.

In Parkways and Land Values, written by John Nolan and Henry V. Hubbard in 1937, it is stated:
“... there is no lack of opinion, based on general principles and experience and common sense, that parkways do in fact add value to property, even though the amount cannot be determined exactly.... Indeed, in most cases where public money has been spent for parkways the assumption has been definitely made that the proposed parkway will show a provable financial profit to the City. It has been believed that the establishment of parkways causes a rise in real estate values throughout the City, or in parts of the City...” In The Economic Value of Trees in Urban Areas, written by Phillip Killicoat, Eva Puzio and Randy Stringer in 2002, it is stated:
“Increased property values, increased tax revenues, increased income levels, faster real estate sales turn-over rates, shorter unoccupied periods…have all been linked to tree and landscape presence.”
It should be noted that the definition of “parkways” above may include the roadway as well as the landscaping alongside the roadway including City-owned and maintained trees within the public right-of-way.
2024/2025 Consolidated Report Maintenance Assessment Districts Page 8

E. PARK GENERAL BENEFIT
General benefits are benefits from improvements or services that are not special in nature and are not “particular and distinct.” The assessments will fund only the special benefits component of the maintenance and servicing of the park improvements. The park maintained by MAD No.1 is discussed below. The MAD No. 2 and MAD No. 3 parks are not yet built. The assessments therefore do not include costs for park improvement maintenance.

Benefit to Property Outside The Assessment District
Properties within MAD No. 1 receive all of the special benefit from the “Las Haciendas Park” improvements. The park provides no measurable special benefit to properties outside of the District. Any incidental benefits conferred by the proper maintenance of the improvements are not a direct and special benefit to any properties other than those for which the improvements are maintained. The park improvements were installed for the benefit of the parcels within the District and were deemed necessary, desired, and required for the orderly development of properties within the District to their full potential. The proximity of the park improvements to parcels within the District is a direct physical and visual nexus between the parcels being assessed and the funding of the improvements, which does not exist for those parcels outside of the District boundaries. Therefore, it has been determined that all improvements provided by the Districts are considered only special benefits for assessment purposes.

BENEFIT TO THE PUBLIC AT LARGE
The general benefit to the public at large can be estimated by the proportionate amount of time that the District’s park improvements are used and enjoyed by individuals who are not residents or property owners in the District. For MAD No. 1, there is no estimated general benefit to the public at large. The District’s small park is not a draw for the general public and is maintained specifically for the benefit of properties within the District.

F. PARK SPECIAL BENEFIT
The park improvements in MAD No. 1 have been identified as necessary, desired and required for the orderly development of the properties within the subdivision(s) to their full potential, consistent with the development plans and applicable portions of the City’s conditions of approval and subdivision agreements. Although the park improvements are installed within lettered lots dedicated to the City, the financial obligation to support and maintain the park improvements would be necessary and required of the individual property owners within the subdivisions either directly or through a homeowner’s association if the District was not established. Clearly the Park Improvements, and more importantly the long-term maintenance, operation, and servicing thereof by the City for which the parcels in the District are to be assessed, directly affects each property and provides shared special benefits. The Special Benefit of the park improvements to the parcels within the District are as described below:

Proximity and Access to Park Improvements within the Districts Only the specific properties within close proximity to the park improvements are included in the Districts. MAD No. 1 has been narrowly drawn to include only the properties that receive special benefits from the park improvements. Therefore, properties in the Districts enjoy unique and valuable proximity and access to the park improvements that the public at large and property outside the District do not share.
2024/2025 Consolidated Report Maintenance Assessment Districts Page 9

Safety and Security within the Districts
The City, through proper operation, maintenance, and servicing of the park improvements funded by the assessments in the District, provides increased security and safety by preventing crime. Proper lighting and well- kept landscapes in parks help to deter crime and vandalism.

Improved Views within the Districts
The properties in the District will benefit from the views of the park that will be serviced and maintained by the District. The views of the improvements in the parks, which include landscaping and various amenities, will be preserved and protected.

Extension of a Property’s Outdoor Areas and Green Spaces for Properties within the Districts
In large part because it is cost prohibitive to provide large open land areas on property in the District, the residential properties in the District do not have large outdoor areas and green spaces. The park improvements within the District provide additional outdoor areas that serve as an effective extension of the land area for proximate properties because the park improvements being serviced and maintained are uniquely proximate and accessible to parcels within the District’s boundaries and provide an important valuable and desirable extension of usable land area for the direct advantage and special benefit of properties in the Districts.

G. EQUIVALENT BENEFIT UNITS
In order to allocate benefit fairly between the benefiting parcels, an Equivalent Benefit Unit (EBU) methodology is proposed which equates all land uses to a single-family residential parcel, thereby allowing a uniform method of assessment.

The EBU method uses the single-family home as the basic unit of apportionment. A single- family home equals one Equivalent Benefit Unit (EBU). Every other land use is converted to EBU’s as described below per District. All properties in the District will be assigned benefit units and land use classifications per the County Assessor’s roll. (Inaccuracies in the County data will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis as they are brought to the City’s attention.) A methodology has been developed to calculate the EBU’s for other residential land uses and for non-residential parcels if applicable. Every land use is converted to EBU’s.

The following tables by District provide the weighting factors to applicable land-use types as reported by the most current year’s San Bernardino County Assessor’s Secured Roll, which determines each parcel’s EBU assignment:

Exempt Properties
Publicly-owned open space including, but not limited to, the parks, recreation fields or other vacant lands are not assessed since the property exists for the benefit of other land uses in the City and the District. Vacant property that cannot be developed for residential, commercial or industrial uses is not assessed. This includes, but is not limited to, public streets, utility easements, rights-of-way, common areas, landlocked parcels and parcels that are too small for development. Additionally, utility rights-of-ways, easements, drainage channels, drainage basins, and parcels that are used solely for the purpose of accessing entry to other parcels, and those parcels that have been vacated by the City that have little to no value and do not benefit from the improvements are also exempted from assessment.

H. ASSESSMENT RANGE FORMULA
Over time, District budgets may be impacted by inflation. In an effort to minimize this impact on the Districts and ensure the long life of the improvements, an Assessment Range Formula for inflation was included as part of the Maximum Assessment Rate presented to property owners when the Districts were formed. The formulas, as described herein provide for an annual inflationary adjustment to the Maximum Assessment Rate that may be imposed each year without requiring the extensive procedure and cost of balloting for normal operational cost increases. The purpose of establishing an Assessment Range Formula is to provide for reasonable increases and inflationary adjustment to the assessment amounts without requiring costly noticing, mailing, and ballot procedures, which would further increase the assessments.

The Consumer Price Index (CPI), as developed by U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), is used to calculate the annual inflationary adjustment to the maximum assessment rate for each District. Each fiscal year the City shall identify the annual percentage change in the CPI, using the difference over a 12-month period between the current year and of the previous year. This annual percentage change in the CPI is generally established based on the percentage change from January to January as determined by the BLS for urban consumers for the Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario Area. This percentage difference shall then be used to establish the increase to the Maximum Assessment Rate. Should the BLS revise such index or discontinue the preparation of such index, the City shall use the revised index or comparable system. For Fiscal Year 2024/2025, the percentage difference from January 2023 to January 2024 is

2.88%.
2024/2025 Consolidated Report Maintenance Assessment Districts Page 11

For MAD No. 1 and MAD No. 2, the assessment range formula is as described above. MAD No. 3 caps the annual inflationary adjustment at 4%, so the annual increase will be the lesser of CPI as calculated above, or 4%. For Fiscal Year 2024/2025, the inflationary adjustment for MAD No. 3 is 2.88%.

The table below summarizes the Fiscal Year 2024/2025 Maximum Assessment Rate increases:

MAD No. 3
The Maximum Assessment Rate has been recalculated and a new Maximum Assessment Rate established for the fiscal year utilizing the Assessment Range Formula described above. The Maximum Assessment Rate shall be calculated independent of the District’s annual budget and proposed assessment. Any proposed annual assessment (rate per EBU) less than or equal to the calculated (adjusted) Maximum Assessment Rate is not considered an increased assessment, even if the proposed assessment is significantly greater than the assessment applied in the prior fiscal year. Modifications to the method of apportionment that increases the proportional special benefit assigned to a particular land use classification would be considered an increased assessment. Conversely, reductions in the proportional special benefit assigned to a land use classification is permitted. Changes in land use or size of an individual property resulting in an assessment increase, is not considered an increased assessment.

I. OVERVIEW
A. INTRODUCTION
The City of Victorville (City) Landscape Maintenance Assessment Districts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 (LMADs) annually levy and collect special assessments in order to maintain landscape improvements. These improvements are located within eight (8) Landscaping and Lighting Act Landscape Maintenance Assessment Districts (Districts) established pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, Part 2 of Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code (the “1972 Act”).

This Engineer’s Report (Report) describes the LMADs therein, annexations, any changes to the Districts, and the proposed assessments for Fiscal Year 2024/2025. The proposed assessments presented in this Report are based on the historical and estimated costs to maintain the improvements that provide special benefits to properties within the Districts therein. The costs of improvements and the annual levy include the expenditures, deficits, surpluses, revenues, and reserves associated with those improvements. Each parcel is assessed proportionately for only those improvements provided and for which the parcel receives benefits.

This Report for the Districts has been prepared pursuant to Sections 22622, in accordance with Article 4 (commencing with Section 22565) of Chapter 1 of the 1972 Act. The Report and the proposed assessments contained herein have been prepared in accordance with said requirements and the provisions of the California Constitution Article XIII D.

This Report, certified by a licensed civil engineer, details the Districts, and includes plans and specifications of the improvements; an estimate of the costs of the improvements, including maintenance and servicing; a diagram, i.e., maps of the Districts showing the boundary of the Districts, the parcels or lots which benefit, and an estimate of costs of the improvements, maintenance, and servicing. Once the Report is completed, it is presented to the Victorville City Council (City Council), acting as the legislative body for the Districts, for its review. The City Council may approve the Report as presented or may order amendments to the Report and approve the Report as modified.

After the initial approval of the preliminary Report, the City Council shall adopt the Resolution of Intention which declares its intent to levy and collect assessments within the Districts, which includes a description of the improvements, the maintenance and servicing of those improvements, refers to the assessment Districts by their distinctive designations, may refer to the Report for the details of the Districts, and sets the time and place for a public hearing on the levy of the proposed annual assessments.

At the public hearing, the City Council will consider any public testimony in favor and/or opposing the assessments to fund the continued maintenance and servicing of the improvements. In conjunction with this hearing, any new or increased assessments over the approved maximum assessment rate will require confirmation of the assessments through a property owner protest ballot proceeding pursuant to the provisions of the California Constitution Article XIII D. For Fiscal Year 2024/2025, there is no proposed rate increase in excess or above the maximum rate of each District.

Following consideration of public comments and protests at the noticed public hearing and review of the Report, the City Council may order amendments to the Report or confirm the Report as submitted. Following final approval of the Report and confirmation of the 2024/2025 Consolidated Report Landscape Maintenance Assessment Districts Page 1

assessments, the City Council may order the levy and collection of assessments for Fiscal Year 2024/2025 pursuant to the 1972 Act. In such case, the assessment information will be submitted to the County Auditor-Controller and included on the property tax roll for each benefiting parcel for Fiscal Year 2024/2025.

For the purposes of this Report, the word “parcel” refers to an individual property assigned its own Assessor’s Parcel Number (APN) by the County of San Bernardino Assessor’s Office.

The County of San Bernardino Auditor-Controller uses APNs and specific Fund Numbers to identify properties on the tax roll assessed for special District benefit assessments.

If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, portion, zone, or subzone of this Engineer’s Report is, for any reason, held to be invalid or unconstitutional by the decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Engineer’s Report and each section, subsection, subdivision, sentence, clause, phrase, portion, zone, or subzone thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, sentences, clauses, phrases, portions, zones, or subzones might subsequently be declared invalid or unconstitutional.

B. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
The residential subdivision plans for the tracts within LMAD Nos. 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, and 8 were submitted to the City by developers and were approved with certain conditions. One such condition required a means to fund the perpetual maintenance of landscaping within the public right-of-ways and dedicated easement areas. In order to meet this condition, the developer, as sole-owner of the subdivision property, petitioned the City to form an assessment district. The LMADs were formed by City Council Resolutions in accordance with the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972, which is Part 2, Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code, in order to provide a funding source for the administration, operations and maintenance, and servicing of the landscaping within the District. Each parcel within the LMADs is assessed at a rate equitable to the budget, not exceeding the maximum allowable rate as identified in section III.F of this report. Future improvement parcels are assessed $1.00 annually until such a time the improvements are constructed.

closure of military bases (locally George Air Force Base), and stagnant new home sales. So, the Developer reverted all of the undeveloped single-family subdivisions to acreage with an agreement, dated November 18, 1997, (1997 Agreement) to pay the full landscape maintenance assessment district fees for those reverted areas so there were sufficient funds for the continued maintenance of the landscaping and irrigation installed. This agreement remains in place for two undeveloped parcels: 3104-231-01 and 3104-231-12.

The District consists of 17 Tracts and 747,054 square feet of landscaped area located within the Brentwood Specific Plan in the City.

III. METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT
A. CODE SECTION
Part 2 of Division 15 of the Streets and Highways Code, the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, permits the establishment of Assessment Districts by cities for the purpose of providing certain public improvements which include the acquisition, construction, maintenance, and servicing of streetlights, traffic signals and landscaping facilities.

Section 22573, Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 requires that assessments be levied according to benefit rather than according to assessed value. This section states:
"The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an Assessment District may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements.”
In addition, Proposition 218 requires that a parcel's assessment may not exceed the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel. Proposition 218 provides that only special benefits are assessable, and the City must separate the general benefits from the special benefits.

B. REASON FOR THE ASSESSMENT
The assessment is proposed to be levied to defray the costs of the acquisition, installation, maintenance and servicing of landscaping improvements.

C. GENERAL BENEFIT
Section 4 of the California Constitution Article XIII D 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 assessment imposed.

It has been determined that in most cases, the benefits conferred on other properties or to the public at large are more general in nature and are not considered special benefits. For example, the proper maintenance of landscaping and landscape appurtenant facilities within the Districts control dust from blowing onto properties within the Districts but may also indirectly control dust from blowing onto properties outside of the Districts. The spraying and treating of landscaping for disease reduces the likelihood of insect infestation and other diseases spreading to landscaping throughout the Districts, but also reduces the likelihood that other properties would be affected. In addition, the proper maintenance of landscaping and landscape ornamental structures provides a positive visual experience to persons passing by the Districts. Although these examples could be considered benefits, they are clearly incidental benefits conferred by the proper maintenance of the improvements and not a direct and special benefit to any properties other than those for which the improvements are maintained. The improvements in the Districts create a common landscape theme and neighborhood identity for the parcels within each residential subdivision. Only the parcels which are within the residential subdivisions will be assessed. Accordingly, there is a direct physical and visual nexus between the parcels being assessed and the funding of the improvements that does not exist for those parcels outside of the District boundaries.

Therefore, it has been determined that all improvements provided by the Districts are considered only special benefits for assessment purposes unless otherwise noted. Any portion of the improvements and the costs associated with those improvements determined 2024/2025 Consolidated Report Landscape Maintenance Assessment Districts Page 10

to be a quantifiable general benefit will be funded from other revenue sources and will be excluded from the special benefit assessments.

D. SPECIAL BENEFIT
Section 2(i) of the California Constitution Article XIII D identifies special benefit as, “a particular and distinct benefit over and above the 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.” determining the proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel, the proximity of the parcel to the public improvements detailed in Section II.

A., and operating costs of said public improvements, was considered and analyzed. Section 4(a) of the California Constitution Article XIII D states, “No assessment shall be imposed on any parcel which exceeds the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel. Only special benefits are assessable, and an agency shall separate the general benefits from the special benefits conferred on a parcel.” Due to the close proximity of the parcels to the improvements, it has been demonstrated and determined the parcels are uniquely benefited by, and receive a direct advantage from, and are conferred a particular and distinct special benefit over and above general benefits by, said public improvements in a way that is particular and distinct from its effect on other parcels and that real property in general and the public at large do not share.

Landscaping Benefits
Trees, landscaping, hardscaping, ornamental structures, and appurtenant facilities, if well maintained, confer a particular and distinct special benefit upon real property within each District by providing beautification, shade and positive enhancement of the community character, attractiveness, and desirability of the surroundings. In addition, all of the aforementioned contributes to a specific increase in property desirability and a specific enhancement of the property value of each parcel within each District which confers a particular and distinct special benefit upon the real property within each District.

In Parkways and Land Values, written by John Nolan and Henry V. Hubbard in 1937, it is stated:
“... there is no lack of opinion, based on general principles and experience and common sense, that parkways do in fact add value to property, even though the amount cannot be determined exactly.... Indeed, in most cases where public money has been spent for parkways the assumption has been definitely made that the proposed parkway will show a provable financial profit to the City. It has been believed that the establishment of parkways causes a rise in real estate values throughout the City, or in parts of the City...” In The Economic Value of Trees in Urban Areas, written by Phillip Killicoat, Eva Puzio and Randy Stringer in 2002, it is stated:
“Increased property values, increased tax revenues, increased income levels, faster real estate sales turn-over rates, shorter unoccupied periods…have all been linked to tree and landscape presence.”
It should be noted that the definition of “parkways” above may include the roadway as well as the landscaping alongside the roadway including City-owned and maintained trees within the public right-of-way.
2024/2025 Consolidated Report Landscape Maintenance Assessment Districts Page 11

E. EQUIVALENT BENEFIT UNITS
In order to allocate benefit fairly between the parcels, an Equivalent Benefit Unit (EBU) methodology is proposed which equates all land uses to a single-family residential parcel, thereby allowing a uniform method of assessment.

The EBU method uses the single-family home as the basic unit of apportionment. A single- family home equals one Equivalent Benefit Unit (EBU). Every other land use is converted to EBU’s as described below per District. All properties in the District will be assigned benefit units and land use classifications per the County Assessor’s roll. (Inaccuracies in the County data will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis as they are brought to the City’s attention.) A methodology has been developed to calculate the EBU’s for other residential land uses and for non-residential parcels if applicable. Every land use is converted to EBU’s.

The following tables by District provide the weighting factors to various land-use types as reported by the most current San Bernardino County Assessor’s Secured Roll, which determines each parcel’s EBU assignment:

Exempt Properties
Publicly-owned open space including, but not limited to, the parks, recreation fields or other vacant lands are not assessed since the property exists for the benefit of other land uses in the District. Vacant property that cannot be developed for residential, commercial or industrial uses is not assessed. This includes, but is not limited to, public streets, utility easements, rights-of-way, common areas, landlocked parcels and parcels that are too small for development. Additionally, utility rights-of-ways, easements, drainage channels, drainage basins, and parcels that are used solely for the purpose of accessing entry to other parcels, and those parcels that have been vacated by the City that have little to no value and do not benefit from the improvements are also exempted from assessment. 2024/2025 Consolidated Report Landscape Maintenance Assessment Districts Page 13

F. ASSESSMENT RANGE FORMULA
Over time, District budgets may be impacted by inflation. In an effort to minimize this impact on the Districts and ensure the long life of the improvements, an Assessment Range Formula for inflation was included as part of the Maximum Assessment Rate presented to property owners when LMAD No. 5, LMAD No. 6, LMAD No. 7, and LMAD No. 8 were formed. The formula, as described herein, provides for an annual inflationary adjustment to the Maximum Assessment Rate that may be imposed each year without requiring the extensive procedure and cost of balloting for normal operational cost increases. The purpose of establishing an Assessment Range Formula is to provide for reasonable increases and inflationary adjustment to the assessment amounts without requiring costly noticing, mailing, and ballot procedures, which would further increase the assessments.

The Consumer Price Index (CPI), as developed by U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), is used to calculate the annual inflationary adjustment to the Maximum Assessment Rate for each District. Each fiscal year the City shall identify the annual percentage change in the CPI, using the difference over a 12-month period between the current year and of the previous year. This annual percentage change in the CPI is generally established based on the percentage change from January to January as determined by the BLS for urban consumers for the Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario Areas. This percentage difference shall then be used to establish the increase to the Maximum Assessment Rate. Should the BLS revise such index or discontinue the preparation of such index, the City shall use the revised index or comparable system. For Fiscal Year 2024/2025, the percentage difference from January 2023 to January 2024 is 2.88%.

No Cost Inflator
An Assessment Range Formula was not included when LMAD No. 1, LMAD No. 2, LMAD No. 3, and LMAD No. 4 were formed. The maximum allowable assessment for these Districts shall not be increased without the noticing and balloting requirements and other applicable provisions of Article XIII D of the California State Constitution (Proposition 218.) In 2015 Majority Protest balloting procedures were held to add an annual cost inflator to LMAD No. 1, LMAD No. 2, and LMAD No. 3, per Resolution 15-006 and 15-028, but failed on July 21, 2015. As such, the administration, operations and maintenance, and servicing activities of the landscaping within the Districts have been limited adhering to budget constraints, and may be further reduced in the future.

The following table summarizes the Fiscal Year 2024/2025 maximum allowable assessment rates for each District:

The Maximum Assessment Rate has been recalculated for the Districts with an Assessment Range Formula, as described above, and a new Maximum Assessment Rate established for the fiscal year. The Maximum Assessment Rate shall be calculated independent of the District’s annual budget and proposed assessment. Any proposed annual assessment (rate per EBU) less than or equal to the Maximum Assessment Rate is not considered an increased assessment, even if the proposed assessment is significantly greater than the assessment applied in the prior fiscal year. Modifications to the method of apportionment that increase the proportional special benefit assigned to a particular land use classification would be considered an increased assessment. Conversely, reductions in the proportional special benefit assigned to a land use classification is permitted. Changes in land use or size of an individual property resulting in an assessment increase, are not considered an increased assessment.

Capital Improvement Fund Balance – Funds collected and held for Capital Improvement Projects, including refurbishment, replacement, or major repair of the improvements, or any project for which funds cannot be collected in a single fiscal year.

Contingency Infrastructure Replacement – Funds set aside for urgent or emergency replacement or repair of major infrastructure improvements.

Levy Information
Balance to Levy – The total amount assessed and applied at the County level or handbilled if parcel cannot be assessed on property tax bill to pay for maintenance expenses (Direct and Indirect Cost).

Equivalent Benefit Unit – The total Equivalent Benefit Units within the Districts applied to the parcels based on land use classification.

Assessment Rate – This amount represents the rate being applied to each parcel’s individual EBU. The Levy per EBU is the result of dividing the “Special Assessment to Levy” by the Total EBUs for the fiscal year.

Maximum Assessment Rate – This is the rate per EBU approved by property owners, in accordance with Proposition 218, adjusted by the CPI as described above.

A variance may be seen between the Assessment Rate and the Maximum Assessment Rate.

The variance occurs because the Special Assessments required to meet expenses for the current fiscal year are below the maximum level.

I. OVERVIEW
A. INTRODUCTION
The City of Victorville (City) Drainage Facilities Assessment Districts (“DFADs” or the “Districts”) annually levy and collect special assessments in order to maintain landscape improvements in and around drainage facilities within the Districts. These improvements are located within three (3) Drainage Facilities Assessment Districts identified as Nos. 1, 2, and 3 established pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, Part 2 of Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code (the “1972 Act”).

This Engineer’s Report (Report) describes the DFADs therein, annexations, any changes to the Districts, and the proposed assessments for Fiscal Year 2024/2025. The proposed assessments presented in this Report are based on the historical and estimated costs to maintain the improvements that provide special benefits to properties within the Districts therein. The costs of improvements and the annual levy include the expenditures, deficits, surpluses, revenues, and reserves associated with those improvements. Each parcel is assessed proportionately for only those improvements provided and for which the parcel receives benefits.

This Report for the Districts has been prepared pursuant to Sections 22622, in accordance with Article 4 (commencing with Section 22565) of Chapter 1 of the 1972 Act. The Report and the proposed assessments contained herein have been prepared in accordance with said requirements and the provisions of the California Constitution Article XIII D.

This Report, certified by a licensed civil engineer, details the Districts, and includes plans and specifications of the improvements; an estimate of the costs of the improvements, including maintenance and servicing; a diagram, i.e., maps of the Districts showing the boundary of the Districts, the parcels or lots which benefit, and an estimate of costs of the improvements, maintenance, and servicing. Once the Report is completed, it is presented to the Victorville City Council (City Council), acting as the legislative body for the Districts, for its review. The City Council may approve the Report as presented or may order amendments to the Report and approve the Report as modified.

After the initial approval of the preliminary Report, the City Council shall adopt the Resolution of Intention which declares its intent to levy and collect assessments within the Districts, which includes a description of the improvements, the maintenance and servicing of those improvements, refers to the assessment Districts by their distinctive designations, may refer to the Report for the details of the Districts , and sets the time and place for a public hearing on the levy of the proposed annual assessments.

At the public hearing, the City Council will consider any public testimony in favor and/or opposing the assessments to fund the continued maintenance and servicing of the improvements. In conjunction with this hearing, any new or increased assessments over the approved maximum assessment rate will require confirmation of the assessments through a property owner protest ballot proceeding pursuant to the provisions of the California Constitution Article XIII D. For Fiscal Year 2024/2025, there is no proposed rate increase in excess or above the maximum rate and assessment range formula approved at the time of formation of each District.
2024/2025 Consolidated Report Drainage Facilities Assessment Districts Page 1

Following final approval of the Report and confirmation of the assessments, the City Council may order the levy and collection of assessments for Fiscal Year 2024/2025 pursuant to the 1972 Act. In such case, the assessment information will be submitted to the County of San Bernardino Auditor-Controller and included on the property tax roll for each benefiting parcel for Fiscal Year 2024/2025.

For the purposes of this Report, the word “parcel” refers to an individual property assigned its own Assessor’s Parcel Number (APN) by the County of San Bernardino Assessor’s Office. The County of San Bernardino Auditor-Controller uses APNs and specific Fund Numbers to identify properties on the tax roll assessed for special District benefit assessments.

If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, portion, zone, or subzone of this Engineer’s Report is, for any reason, held to be invalid or unconstitutional by the decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Engineer’s Report and each section, subsection, subdivision, sentence, clause, phrase, portion, zone, or subzone thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, sentences, clauses, phrases, portions, zones, or subzones might subsequently be declared invalid or unconstitutional.

B. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
The residential subdivision improvement plans for the tracts within each District were submitted to the City by developers and were approved with certain conditions. One such condition required a means to fund the perpetual maintenance of the landscaped drainage facilities within the public right-of ways and dedicated easement areas. In order to meet this condition, the developer, as sole-owner of the subdivision property, petitioned the City to form an assessment district. The Districts were then formed by City Council Resolutions in accordance with the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972 (hereinafter called “Act”), which is Part 2, Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code, in order to provide a funding source for the administration, operations and maintenance, and servicing of the landscape improvements in the District. Each parcel within the subdivision is assessed at a rate equitable to the budget, not exceeding the maximum allowable rate as identified in section III.F of this report. Future improvement parcels are assessed $1.00 annually until such a time the improvements are constructed.

DFAD No. 1 (City Wide)
In 2003, Drainage Facilities Assessment District No. 1 (hereinafter “DFAD No. 1” or the “District”), was formed by Resolutions 03-046, 03-047, 03-048 and 03-049. There are thirty- five (35) tracts, and several unimproved parcels of vacant land in the District. Existing drainage facilities improvements include detention basins, drainage channels and perimeter landscaping that is located throughout the City.

In fiscal year 2022/2023 Tract No. 20275, located at the southeast corner of Monte Vista Road and Luna Road, was annexed to DFAD No. 1.

In fiscal year 2023/2024 Tract 18980, located north of Silica Road and west of Second Avenue, and Tract 20280 were annexed to DFAD No. 1.
2024/2025 Consolidated Report Drainage Facilities Assessment Districts Page 2

DFAD No. 2 (Vista Verde)
In 2003, Drainage Facilities Assessment District No. 2 (hereinafter “DFAD No 2” or the “District”), was formed by Resolutions 03-149, 03-150, and 03-151. There are eleven (11) tracts, two (2) vacant parcels, and other territory in the District which includes drainage facilities improvements of 173,865 square feet of detention basin and perimeter maintenance area that are located within the Vista Verde Specific Plan.

DFAD No. 3 (West Creek)
In 2005, Drainage Facilities Assessment District No. 3 (hereinafter “DFAD No. 3” or the “District”), was formed by Resolutions 05-077 and 05-078. There are seventeen (17) Tracts in the District and drainage facilities improvements are 435,456 square feet including paseo channel and access road located within.

III. METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT
A. CODE SECTION
Part 2 of Division 15 of the Streets and Highways Code, the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, permits the establishment of Assessment Districts by cities for the purpose of providing certain public improvements which include the acquisition, construction, maintenance, and servicing of streetlights, traffic signals and landscaping facilities.

Section 22573, Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 requires that assessments be levied according to benefit rather than according to assessed value. This section states:
"The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an Assessment District may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements.”
In addition, Proposition 218 requires that a parcel's assessment may not exceed the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel. Proposition 218 provides that only special benefits are assessable, and the City must separate the general benefits from the special benefits.

B. REASON FOR THE ASSESSMENT
The assessment is proposed to be levied to defray the costs of the acquisition, installation, maintenance and servicing of landscaping and lighting improvements.

C. GENERAL BENEFIT
Section 4 of Article XIII D 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 assessment imposed.

It has been determined that in most cases, the benefits conferred on other properties or to the public at large is more general in nature and are not considered special benefits. For example, the proper maintenance of landscaping and landscape appurtenant facilities within the Districts control dust from blowing onto properties within the Districts but may also indirectly control dust from blowing onto properties outside of the Districts. The spraying and treating of landscaping for disease reduces the likelihood of insect infestation and other diseases spreading to landscaping throughout the Districts, but also reduces the likelihood that other properties would be affected. In addition, the proper maintenance of landscaping and landscape ornamental structures provides a positive visual experience to persons passing by the Districts. Although these examples could be considered benefits, they are clearly incidental benefits conferred by the proper maintenance of the improvements and not a direct and special benefit to any properties other than those for which the improvements are maintained. The improvements in the Districts create a common landscape theme and neighborhood identity for the parcels within each residential subdivision. Only the parcels which are within the residential subdivisions will be assessed. Accordingly, there is a direct physical and visual nexus between the parcels being assessed and the funding of the improvements that does not exist for those parcels outside of the District boundaries. Therefore, it has been determined that all improvements provided by the Districts are considered only special benefits for assessment 2024/2025 Consolidated Report Drainage Facilities Assessment Districts Page 9

purposes unless otherwise noted. Any portion of the improvements and the costs associated with those improvements determined to be a quantifiable general benefit will be funded from other revenue sources and will be excluded from the special benefit assessments.

D. SPECIAL BENEFIT
Section 2(i) of Article XIII D identifies special benefit as, “a particular and distinct benefit over and above the 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.” determining the proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel, the proximity of the parcel to the public improvements detailed in Section II. A., and operating costs of said public improvements, was considered and analyzed. Section 4(a) of Article XIII D states, “No assessment shall be imposed on any parcel which exceeds the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel. Only special benefits are assessable, and an agency shall separate the general benefits from the special benefits conferred on a parcel.” Due to the close proximity of the parcels to the improvements, it has been demonstrated and determined the parcels are uniquely benefited by, and receive a direct advantage from, and are conferred a particular and distinct special benefit over and above general benefits by, said public improvements in a way that is particular and distinct from its effect on other parcels and that real property in general and the public at large do not share.

Landscaping Benefits
Trees, landscaping, hardscaping, ornamental structures, and appurtenant facilities, if well maintained, confer a particular and distinct special benefit upon real property within each District by providing beautification, shade and positive enhancement of the community character, attractiveness, and desirability of the surroundings. In addition, all of the aforementioned contributes to a specific increase in property desirability and a specific enhancement of the property value of each parcel within each District which confers a particular and distinct special benefit upon the real property within each District.

In The Economic Value of Trees in Urban Areas, written by Phillip Killicoat, Eva Puzio and Randy Stringer in 2002, it is stated:
“Increased property values, increased tax revenues, increased income levels, faster real estate sales turn-over rates, shorter unoccupied periods…have all been linked to tree and landscape presence.”
E. EQUIVALENT BENEFIT UNITS
In order to allocate benefit fairly between the parcels, an Equivalent Benefit Unit (EBU) methodology is proposed which equates all land uses to a single-family residential parcel, thereby allowing a uniform method of assessment.

The EBU method uses the single-family home as the basic unit of apportionment. A single- family home equals one Equivalent Benefit Unit (EBU). Every other land use is converted to EBU’s as described below per District. All properties in the District will be assigned benefit units and land use classifications per the County Assessor’s roll. (Inaccuracies in the County data will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis as they are brought to the City’s attention.) A methodology has been developed to calculate the EBU’s for other residential land uses and for non-residential parcels if applicable. Every land use is converted to EBU’s. 2024/2025 Consolidated Report Drainage Facilities Assessment Districts Page 10

The following tables by District provide the weighting factors to various land-use types and parcel sizes as reported by the most current year’s San Bernardino County Assessor’s Secured Roll, which determines each parcel’s EBU assignment:

Exempt Properties
Publicly owned open space including, but not limited to, the parks, recreation fields or other vacant lands are not assessed since the property exists for the benefit of other land uses in the City and the District. Vacant property that cannot be developed for residential, commercial or industrial uses is not assessed. This includes, but is not limited to, public streets, utility easements, rights-of-way, common areas, landlocked parcels and parcels that are too small for development. Additionally, utility rights-of-ways, easements, drainage channels, drainage basins, and parcels that are used solely for the purpose of accessing entry to other parcels, and those parcels that have been vacated by the City that have little to no value and do not benefit from the improvements are also exempted from assessment.

F. ASSESSMENT RANGE FORMULA
Over time, District budgets may be impacted by inflation. In an effort to minimize this impact on the Districts and ensure the long life of the improvements, an Assessment Range Formula for inflation was included as part of the Maximum Assessment Rate presented to property owners when the Districts were formed. The formula, as described herein, provides for an annual inflationary adjustment to the Maximum Assessment Rate that may be imposed each year without requiring the extensive procedure and cost of balloting for normal operational cost increases. The purpose of establishing an Assessment Range Formula is to provide for reasonable increases and inflationary adjustment to the assessment amounts without requiring costly noticing, mailing, and ballot procedures, which would further increase the assessments. 2024/2025 Consolidated Report Drainage Facilities Assessment Districts Page 11

The Consumer Price Index (CPI), as developed by U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), is used to calculate the annual inflationary adjustment to the Maximum Assessment Rate for each District. Each fiscal year the City shall identify the annual percentage change in the CPI, using the difference over a 12-month period between the current year and of the previous year. This annual percentage change in the CPI is generally established based on the percentage change from January to January as determined by the BLS for urban consumers for the Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario Area. This percentage difference shall then be used to establish the increase to the Maximum Assessment Rate. Should the BLS revise such index or discontinue the preparation of such index, the City shall use the revised index or comparable system. For Fiscal Year 2024/2025, the percentage difference from January 2023 to January 2024 is

2.88%.

The Maximum Assessment Rate has been recalculated and a new Maximum Assessment Rate established for the fiscal year utilizing the Assessment Range Formula described above. The Maximum Assessment Rate shall be calculated independent of the District’s annual budget and proposed assessment. Any proposed annual assessment (rate per EBU) less than or equal to the calculated (adjusted) Maximum Assessment Rate is not considered an increased assessment, even if the proposed assessment is significantly greater than the assessment applied in the prior fiscal year. Modifications to the method of apportionment that increase the proportional special benefit assigned to a particular land use classification would be considered an increased assessment. Conversely, reductions in the proportional special benefit assigned to a land use classification is permitted. Changes in land use or size of an individual property resulting in an assessment increase, is not considered an increased assessment.

I. OVERVIEW
A. INTRODUCTION
The City of Victorville (City) City-Wide Street Lighting Assessment District (SLAD or District) annually levies and collects special assessments in order to maintain streetlight improvements. These improvements are located within the SLAD and established pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, Part 2 of Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code (the “1972 Act”).

This Engineer’s Report (Report) describes the SLAD therein, any changes to the District, and the proposed assessments for Fiscal Year 2024/2025. The proposed assessments presented in this Report are based on the historical and estimated costs to maintain the improvements that provide special benefits to properties within the District. The costs of improvements and the annual levy include the expenditures, deficits, surpluses, revenues, and reserves associated with those improvements. Each parcel is assessed proportionately for only those improvements provided and for which the parcel receives benefits.

The report is prepared in compliance with the requirements of Article 4, Chapter 1 of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, (hereinafter referred to as the “Act”) which is Part 2, Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code.

This Report, certified by a licensed civil engineer, details the District, and includes plans and specifications of the improvements; an estimate of the costs of the improvements, including maintenance and servicing; a diagram, i.e., maps of the District showing the boundary of the District, the parcels or lots which benefit, and an estimate of costs of the improvements, maintenance, and servicing. Once the Report is completed, it is presented to the Victorville City Council (City Council), acting as the legislative body for the District, for its review. The City Council may approve the Report as presented or may order amendments to the Report and approve the Report as modified.

After the initial approval of the preliminary Report, the City Council shall adopt the Resolution of Intention which declares its intent to levy and collect assessments within the District , which includes a description of the improvements, the maintenance and servicing of those improvements, refers to the District by a distinctive designation, may refer to the Report for the details of the District , and sets the time and place for a public hearing on the levy of the proposed annual assessments.

At the public hearing, the City Council will consider any public testimony in favor and/or opposing the assessments to fund the continued maintenance and servicing of the improvements. In conjunction with this hearing, any new or increased assessments over the approved maximum assessment rate will require confirmation of the assessments through a property owner protest ballot proceeding pursuant to the provisions of the California Constitution Article XIII D (Proposition 218.) For Fiscal Year 2024/2025 the rate is not proposed to increase over the approved maximum assessment rate.

Following final approval of the Report and confirmation of the assessments, the City Council may order the levy and collection of assessments for Fiscal Year 2024/2025 pursuant to the 1972 Act. In such case, the assessment information will be submitted to 2024/2025 City-Wide Street Lighting Assessment District Page 1

the San Bernardino County Auditor-Controller and included on the property tax roll for each benefiting parcel for Fiscal Year 2024/2025. Benefiting parcels that do not receive a property tax bill, due to their status as non-taxable with San Bernardino County, will be billed directly by the City.

For the purposes of this Report, the word “parcel” refers to an individual property assigned its own Assessor’s Parcel Number (APN) by the County of San Bernardino (County) Assessor’s Office. The County Auditor-Controller uses APNs and specific Fund Numbers to identify properties on the tax roll assessed for special District benefit assessments.

B. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
The District was formed to provide funding for the maintenance of street lighting within the District boundaries. Resolution 13-012, approved by the City Council on May 28, 2013, provided the noticing and balloting requirements along with the Engineer’s Report, in accordance with Article XIII D of the California State Constitution (Proposition 218). After the ballots were tabulated, the City Council found that a majority protest did not exist. The City Council then adopted Resolution 13-013 on July 23, 2013, forming the District. 2024/2025 City-Wide Street Lighting Assessment District Page 2

IV. METHOD OF ASSESSMENT
A. BACKGROUND
The Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 provides that assessments may be apportioned upon all assessable lots or parcels of land within an assessment district in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each lot or parcel from the improvements. In addition, Proposition 218 requires that a parcel’s assessment may not exceed the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel. Proposition 218 provides that only special benefits are assessable, and the City must separate the general benefits from the special benefits conferred on a parcel. A special benefit is a particular and distinct benefit over, and above general benefits conferred on the public at large, including real property within the District. The general enhancement of property value does not constitute a special benefit.

B. SPECIAL BENEFIT ANALYSIS
Proper operation and maintenance of the street lighting, traffic signals and parking lot lighting of the Park-N-Rides benefit all properties within the City by providing security, safety, community character, and vitality.

Street Lighting: All properties within the City receive special and direct benefit from the street lighting that is located along arterials and major thoroughfares as they provide a positive enhancement to the City. In addition, all lots, or parcels, in the City receive a city- wide benefit from the street lighting along arterials and thoroughfares. Parcels that front on streets that have street lighting receive an additional local benefit from street lighting.

The special benefit assigned for streetlights on arterial roads is 25%. The special benefit assigned for streetlights on local (non-arterial) roads is 100%. It is estimated that 25% of the arterial road users are locals and use those roads when the streetlights are on, enjoying the special benefit. Benefits of street lighting in terms of security & safety includes; mitigates crime; alleviates the fear of crime; reduces traffic accidents; and enhances pedestrian safety. Community character and vitality benefits includes; promotes social interaction; promotes business and industry; contributes to a positive nighttime visual image; and areas with decorative lighting provide a pleasing daytime appearance.

The benefit provided by streetlighting consists of safety for pedestrians and motorists living and owning property in the District during the nighttime hours. This is a particular and distinct special benefit to all developed parcels in the District.

Streetlights can be determined to be an integral part of streets as a permanent public improvement. One of the principal purposes of fixed roadway lighting is to create a nighttime environment conducive to quick, accurate, and comfortable seeing for the user of the facility. These factors, if attained, combine to improve traffic safety, and achieve efficient traffic movement. Fixed lighting can enable the motorist to see detail more distinctly and to react safely toward roadway and traffic conditions present on or near the roadway facility.

Streets are constructed for the safe and convenient travel by vehicles and pedestrians.

They also provide an area for underground and overhead utilities. Streetlights are installed on and are for street purposes and are maintained and serviced for optimum use of the 2024/2025 City-Wide Street Lighting Assessment District Page 7

streets as intended in their design. Assessments for the maintenance and servicing of streets may include streetlights.

Streetlights are considered an integral part of the entire street, the same as curb, gutters, pavement, signage, and striping. They are the elements that provide a safe route for motorists and pedestrians. Streetlights are installed to make streets safer.

Streetlights are installed to provide better visibility for drivers. One hundred (100) percent of the illumination from the lights is directed to the street: ninety (90) percent on the street side of the curb and ten (10) percent behind the curb. The spacing of the lights is based on the speed of the vehicles and the natural ability of the motorists’ eyes to adjust to light and dark areas.

Traffic Signals: All properties within the City benefit from the proper functioning and maintenance of the traffic signal system which is located within the City on major thoroughfares. Proper operation of the traffic signal system is imperative to orderly traffic flow, enhanced congestion management and safety, and minimizing the City’s liability with regards to traffic accidents. Traffic signals increase the desirability of a community by promoting enhanced traffic flow and enhanced safety to business and residential properties. The special benefit assigned for traffic signals is 50%. It is estimated that 50% of the users of a traffic signal are from the local area and enjoy a special benefit. Benefits of traffic signals in terms of security and safety includes, enhanced congestion management and safety, promotion of enhanced traffic flow through signal coordination, reduces City’s liability to traffic accidents, assists with meeting the State of California’s emissions standards, improves emergency response times by signal pre-emption.

Community character and vitality benefits includes; orderly traffic flow; promotes business and industry; and contributes to a positive nighttime visual image.

The systems of streets within the District are established to provide access to each parcel in the District. Streetlights and Traffic Signals provide a safer street environment for owners of the parcels served. If the parcels were not subdivided to individual parcels within the District, there would be no need for providing a system of streets with safety lighting for the owners of the individual parcels.

C. GENERAL BENEFIT ANALYSIS
In addition to the special benefits received by the parcels within the District, there are incidental general benefits conferred by the improvements.

The Ad Valorem Tax received each year for street lighting from the County funds the operation and maintenance of the lighting systems of parcels that receive only a general benefit. Although there is a special benefit component to arterial street lighting and traffic signals the costs are fully funded by ad valorem taxes and the City’s general fund as identified in the annual budget.

Thus, the total benefits are a combination of the special benefits to the parcels within the District and the general benefits to the public at large. The portion of the total streetlight maintenance costs which are associated with general benefits are not assessed to the parcels in the district but are paid from the funds identified above. The contribution from 2024/2025 City-Wide Street Lighting Assessment District Page 8

ad valorem and general fund are more than adequate offsetting any general benefit element for street lighting and traffic signals.

D. EQUIVALENT BENEFIT UNITS
In order to allocate benefit fairly between the parcels, an Equivalent Benefit Unit (EBU) methodology, which equates all land uses to a single-family residential parcel, thereby allowing a uniform method of assessment.

The EBU method uses the single-family home as the basic unit of apportionment. A single family residential (“SFR”) home equals one Equivalent Benefit Unit (EBU). Every other land use is converted to EBU’s as described below. All properties in the District will be assigned benefit units and land use classifications per the County Assessor’s roll. (Inaccuracies in the County data will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis as they are brought to the City’s attention.)
Single Family Residential (SFR):

The SFR parcel has been selected as the basic unit for calculation of the benefit assessments. This basic unit shall be called an Equivalent Benefit Unit or EBU. ￿ Parcels, or lots, designated as Single Family Residential (SFR) land-use will be assigned one (1.00) EBU per parcel, or lot including vacant subdivided residential lots, or parcels.
￿ SFR lots, or parcels, that are developed but remote; or, are vacant and remote within recorded subdivision maps; or, are vacant and have an approved tentative map with entitlements but have not yet recorded, will be assessed 0.50 EBU's per parcel, or lot. The calculation would be based upon the future designated number of lots, or parcels, multiplied by the EBU factor.
￿ SFR lots, or parcels, that are vacant; or, are vacant, remote, and have an approved tentative map with entitlements but have not yet recorded, will be assigned 0.25 EBU's per parcel, or lot. The calculation would be based upon the future designated number of lots, or parcels, multiplied by the EBU factor.

SFR lots, or parcels, that have acreage, are not subdivided, are vacant, and are not remote will be assigned 0.25 EBU's per parcel, or lot.

SFR Rural Residential lots, or parcels, that do not have Street Lights installed and are developed or vacant will be assigned 0.25 EBU's per parcel, or lot.

SFR lots, or parcels that are developed but in a local area without street lights will be assessed at 0.25 EBU's per parcel, or lot.
￿
￿
￿
￿ SFR lots, or parcels, that have acreage, are not subdivided, are vacant, and are remote will be assigned 0.00 EBU's per parcel, or lot.
❖ Remote is defined as a parcel, or lot, not adjacent to a paved street that may or may not be fully improved with curb or gutter.
2024/2025 City-Wide Street Lighting Assessment District Page 9

Multi-Family Residential:

Multi-Family Residential (Multi-Family) are land-use lots, or parcels, that include Mobile Home Parks, Condominiums, and Apartments. Multi-Family lots, or parcels, are proposed to be determined by multiplying the number of dwelling units on each lot or parcel by the relative population density of these types of dwelling. Therefore, the EBU's assigned to Multi-Family Residential will be the product of the number of dwelling units multiplied by an EBU factor of 0.80.
￿ Parcels, or lots, designated as Multi-Family Residential land-use (Multi- Family) will be assigned 0.80 EBU's per dwelling unit, or parcels unit, including vacant subdivided Multi-Family Residential lots, or parcels.
￿ Multi-Family parcels, or lots, that are developed but remote; or, are vacant and remote within recorded subdivision maps; or, are vacant and have an approved tentative map with entitlements but have not yet recorded, will be assessed 0.40 EBUs. The calculation would be based upon the future designated number of dwelling units, multiplied by the EBU factor.
￿ Multi-Family parcels, or lots, that are vacant, remote, and have an approved tentative map with entitlements but have not yet recorded, will be assigned 0.20 EBU's per dwelling unit. The calculation would be based upon the future designated number of dwelling units, multiplied by the EBU factor. ￿
￿
Multi-Family lots, or parcels, that have acreage, are not subdivided, are vacant, and are not remote will be assigned 0.25 EBU's per parcel, or lot.

Multi-Family lots, or parcels, that have acreage, are not subdivided, are vacant, and are remote will be assigned 0.00 EBU's per parcel, or lot. ❖ Remote is defined as a parcel, or lot, not adjacent to a paved street that may or may not be fully improved with curb or gutter.

Office Professional, Commercial and Industrial:

It is proposed that lots and parcels with a land-use of Office Professional, Commercial or Industrial will be converted to EBU's using the factor of four (4) EBU's per acre. ￿ Office Professional, Commercial and Industrial land-use lots, or parcels, will be assessed four (4) EBU's per acre or any portion thereof as explained herein.

Office Professional, Commercial and Industrial land-use lots, or parcels, that are vacant will be assigned EBU's at a rate of 50% of the developed Office Professional, Office Professional, Commercial and Industrial land use lots or parcels, or two (2) EBU's per acre.
￿
￿ Vacant Remote Commercial parcels not adjacent to a paved road will be assigned zero (0) EBUs.
❖ Remote is defined as a parcel, or lot, not adjacent to a paved street that may or may not be fully improved with curb or gutter.

Public Property and Institutional:

Public Property and Institutional, Open Space, and Agriculture land-use equivalencies are to be determined by their use and will be subject to the same assessment amount as private property with the same use.
2024/2025 City-Wide Street Lighting Assessment District Page 10

Public Property
￿ Public Property will be assessed the same as private property and based on the lot's, or parcel's, land-use. For example, a Police Station, and City Hall would be assessed the same as the Office Professional, Commercial and Industrial land- use using the factor of four (4) EBU's per acre for developed and two (2) EBU's per acre for vacant lots, or parcels. However, the Green Tree Golf Course would be assessed the same as a developed SFR, one (1) EBU per lot, or parcel.

Schools
￿
￿
Schools will be assessed the same as the Office Professional, Commercial and Industrial land-use. The lots, or parcels, that make up a school site will be converted to EBU's using the factor of four (4) EBU's per acre or any portion thereof.

School lots, or parcels, that are vacant will be assigned EBU's at a rate of 50% of the developed School lots, or parcels, and of developed Office Professional, Office Professional, Commercial and Industrial land-use lots or parcels, or two (2) EBU's per acre.

Institutions
￿
￿
Institutions, such as prisons, will be assigned the same as the Office Professional, Commercial and Industrial land-use. The lots, or parcels, of the Prison will be converted to EBU's using the factor of four (4) EBU's per acre or any portion thereof.

Vacant institutions, such as prisons, will be assigned EBU's at a rate of 50% of the developed institutional lots, or parcels, and of developed Office Professional, Office Professional, Commercial and Industrial land-use lots or parcels, or two (2) EBU's per acre.

Parks, Open Space, and Agriculture:

Parks, Open Space, and Agriculture land-use equivalencies are to be determined by their use and will be converted to EBU's using the factor of one (1) EBU's per acre.

Parks and Open Space
￿
￿
Parks and Open Space that are developed will be assigned EBU's the same as Single-Family Residential lots, or parcels, one (1) EBU per lot, or parcel.

Parks and Open Space lots, or parcels, that are vacant will be assigned 0.50 EBU's per dwelling unit.

Agriculture
￿
￿
Agriculture lots, or parcels, that are developed will be assigned EBU's the same as Single-Family Residential lots, or parcels, one (1) EBU per lot, or parcel.

Agriculture lots, or parcels, vacant will be assigned 0.50 EBU's per dwelling unit. 2024/2025 City-Wide Street Lighting Assessment District Page 11

Exempt:

The following areas would be exempt from the assessment; public streets, public avenues, public boulevards, public lanes, public roads, public drives, public courts, public ways, public alleys, public easements and rights-of-ways, public greenbelts, open space, parkways, and that portion of public property that is not developed and used for business purposes similar to land-uses of private commercial, industrial, and institutional activities.

Additionally, utility rights-of-ways, easements, drainage channels, drainage basins and parcels that are used solely for the purpose of accessing entry to parcels, and those parcels that have been vacated by the City that have little to no value and don't benefit from the improvements are also proposed to be exempted from assessment.

A methodology has been developed to calculate the EBU’s for other residential land uses and for non-residential parcels. Every land use is converted to EBU’s. “Remote” is defined as a parcel, or lot, not adjacent to a paved street that may or may not be fully improved with curb or gutter.

The following table identifies the weighting factors for various land uses as reported by the most current year’s San Bernardino County Assessor’s Secured Roll, which determines each parcel’s EBU assignment:

E. ASSESSMENT RANGE FORMULA
Over time, the District’s budget may be impacted by inflation. In an effort to minimize this impact on the District and ensure the long life of the street lighting improvements, an Assessment Range Formula for inflation was included as part of the Maximum Assessment Rate presented to property owners when the District was formed. The formula, as described herein, provides for an annual inflationary adjustment to the Maximum Assessment Rate that may be imposed each year without requiring the extensive procedure and cost of balloting for normal operational cost increases. The purpose of establishing an Assessment Range Formula is to provide for reasonable increases and inflationary adjustment to the assessment amounts without requiring costly noticing, mailing, and ballot procedures, which would further increase the assessments.

Consumer Price Index: For administrative costs, the Consumer Price Index (CPI), as developed by U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), is used to calculate the annual inflationary adjustment to the Maximum Assessment Rate. Each fiscal year the City shall identify the annual percentage change in the CPI, using the difference over a 12-month period between the current year and of the previous year. This annual percentage change in the CPI is generally established based on the percentage change from January to January as determined by the BLS for urban consumers for the Riverside-San Bernardino- Ontario Areas. This percentage difference shall then be used to establish the increase to the Maximum Assessment Rate proportionate to the non-electric power portion of the budgeted expenses. Should the BLS revise such index or discontinue the preparation of such index, the City shall use the revised index or comparable system. For Fiscal Year 2024/2025, the percentage difference from January 2023 to January 2024 is 2.88%.

California Public Utility Commission (CPUC): For electrical power costs that make up the majority of the Operation and Maintenance costs of the District, the base assessment rate levied for each EBU may be increased as authorized by resolution of the CPUC for the cost of supplying power only to the City’s lighting systems and facilities. On August 19, 2021 CPUC approved Southern California Edison’s General Rate Case Application 19-08-013, resulting in a 7.63% increase for 2021, 5.54% for 2022, 6.00% in 2023, and 9.88% in 2024.

Fiscal Year 2024-2025 Training Schedule for City Council Members Recommendation:

That Your Honorable City Council direct staff which business events Council will attend during Fiscal Year 2024-2025 to allow sufficient time for registration and travel accommodations.

Fiscal Impact:

Unknown at this time, and dependent upon registration fees and travel costs. City Council travel and meetings expense account 1001220-52150 has a budgeted amount of $26,000 for Fiscal Year 2024-2025.

Strategic Plan Goal:

Goal F: Communication and Outreach – Attendance allows Council Members the opportunity to collaborate with other jurisdictions and build on relationships.

Discussion:

At the February 28, 2023, Governance Team Relations Workshop, Baker Tilly discussed the importance of continued training for Council Members. Pursuant to City Council Policy and Procedures Manual, Chapter 8 Section IV(C) "Prior to making travel, transportation, and/or lodging arrangements for any event for which a Councilmember wishes to be reimbursed by the City, the Councilmember must have the event and the expenditure approved. Requests for travel and meeting expense reimbursements or City- paid travel and meetings for any event(s) will require the advance approval of the City Council at a regularly-scheduled Council Meeting under an agendized item requesting such approval."
This item is being presented to establish a list of approved business events the Council desires to attend during Fiscal Year 2024-2025. Council approval of business travel in 3 1
2 4
advance will provide staff the flexibility and time to research the best prices for travel accommodations for all interested Council Members, as soon as registration and hotel blocks are announced, and ensure space availability as some events meet capacity quickly.

Subject:

Discussion and Possible Action regarding Assembly Bill 3259 (now Assembly Bill 2443 Carrillo) as it relates to transactions and use taxes
Recommendation:

Any action is at the discretion of Your Honorable City Council.

Fiscal Impact:

There is no fiscal impact associated with this item.

Background:

At the City Council meeting of June 4, 2024, it was moved by Mayor Becerra and unanimously approved to agendize an item for discussion and possible action regarding Assembly Bill 3259 as it relates to transactions and use taxes and its ability to allow Victorville to increase the cap on the transaction and use tax that is statutorily available to us. The request is a direct result of efforts made recently to use the legislative process to consider Victorville’s inclusion to AB 3259.

Discussion:

This item is being presented to Council so that Council can further discuss Assembly Bill 3259, now Assembly Bill (AB) 2443 as it relates to transactions and use taxes and its ability to allow Victorville to increase the cap on the transaction and use tax that is statutorily available to us. Currently, State law places a cap of 2% on the amount cities and counties can levy in the form of a transactions and use tax. In Victorville, the 2% cap is consumed by the one cent Measure P and the half cent Measure I transportation tax.

Amending State law to allow for an increase in a transaction and use tax above the 2% would assist Victorville if it was interested in pursuing another measure similar to Measure P. In its current form, AB 3259, now AB 2443, has passed the State Assembly and is now on to the State Senate floor. Based on recent efforts working with Assembly Member Carrillo along with our State lobbyist, staff have been advised that AB 2443, includes 3 3
0 6
Victorville. Council should consider formal support of the bill and authorize the Mayor to testify in support of this in Sacramento, if necessary.

Staff remains available for any questions or comments you might have.
