Many factors determine whether a Water-wise Plant will adapt or perform well, and even though a plant appears on the WWP List, there is no assurance it will adapt or thrive. Therefore, from time to time, the General Manager or his/her designee will amend the WWP List as necessary to add or remove plants. The Water-wise plant list is a tool for use whether designing a new landscape or converting from traditional turf to a desert wise water efficient landscape. The plant canopy coverage is derived mathematically by multiplying the mature diameter of the plant by a formula to provide the square footage number. Determining the mature width of plants can be tricky. It may take many years or even decades for a plant to reach its ultimate width.

Water Shortage Contingency PlanThis Water Shortage Contingency Plan (WSCP) is a strategic plan that the Victorville Water District uses to prepare for and respond to water shortages.A water shortage occurs when water supply available is insufficient to meet the normally expected customer water use at a given point in time. A shortage may occur due to a number of reasons, such as water supply quality changes, climate change, drought, regional power outage, and catastrophic events (e.g., earthquake).Additionally, the Stateof California (State) may declare a statewide drought emergency and mandate that water suppliers reduce demands, as occurred in 2014.The WSCP serves as the operating manual that Victorville Water District (VWD) will use to prevent catastrophic service disruptions through proactive, rather than reactive, mitigation of water shortages. This WSCP provides a process for an Annual Water Supply and Demand Assessment and structured steps designed to respond to actual conditions. This level of detailed planning and preparation provide accountability and predictability and will help VWD maintain reliable supplies and reduce the impacts of any supply shortages and/or interruptions.This WSCP was prepared in conjunction with VWDs 2025 Regional Urban Water Management Plan (RUWMP) and is a standalone document that can be modified as needed. This document is compliant with the California Water Code (CWC) Section 10632 and incorporated guidance from the State of California Department of Water Resources (DWR) UWMP Guidebook.

Victorville Water District 1-2 Water Shortage Contingency Plan The WSCP describes the following: 1. Water Service Reliability Analysis: Summarizes VWDs water supply analysis and reliability and identifies any key issues that may trigger a shortage condition. 2. Annual Water Supply and Demand Assessment Procedures: Describes the key data inputs, evaluation criteria, and methodology for assessing the systems reliability for the coming year, and the steps to formally declare any water shortage levels and response actions. 3. Six Shortage Stages: Establishes water shortage levels to clearly identify and prepare for shortages. 4. Shortage Response Actions: Describes the response actions that may be implemented or considered for each stage to reduce gaps between supply and demand. 5. Communication Protocols: Describes communication protocols under each stage to ensure customers, the public, and government agencies are informed of shortage conditions and requirements. 6. Compliance and Enforcement: Defines compliance and enforcement actions available to administer demand reductions. 7. Legal Authority: Lists the legal documents that grant VWD the authority to declare a water shortage and implement and enforce response actions. 8. Financial Consequences of WSCP Implementation: Describes the anticipated financial impact of implementing water shortage stages and identifies mitigation strategies to offset financial burdens. 9. Monitoring and Reporting: Summarizes the monitoring and reporting techniques to evaluate the effectiveness of shortage response actions and overall WSCP implementation. Results are used to determine if additional shortage response actions should be activated or if efforts are successful and response actions should be reduced. 10. WSCP Refinement Procedures: Describes the factors that may trigger updates to the WSCP and outlines how to complete an update. 11. Special Water Features Distinctions: Water use for decorative features shall be limited unless necessary to sustain aquatic life. Decorative features include ornamental fountains, ponds, and other aesthetic features. 12. Plan Adoption, Submittal, and Availability: Describes the process for the WSCP adoption, submittal, and availability after each revision.

Victorville Water District 1-3 Water Shortage Contingency Plan

1.1 Water Supply Reliability Analysis As part of the 2025 RUWMP, VWD completed a water supply reliability analysis for normal, single-dry, and five-year consecutive dry year periods. As described in Chapter 16.8 of VWDs 2025 RUWMP, the effects of a local drought are not immediately recognized because the region uses the local groundwater basins to simulate a large reservoir for long-term storage. VWD is able to pump additional groundwater to meet increased demands in dry years and participates in efforts to replenish the basins with imported and local water through regional recharge programs. Based on the analysis, VWD does not anticipate any supply shortage due to single or consecutive dry years. Even though localized drought conditions should not affect supply, VWD participates in several ongoing water conservation measures and regional recharge projects to optimize and enhance the use of regional water resources. VWD will use this WSCP as appropriate to reduce the demand during critical drought years or other supply emergencies. A Drought Risk Assessment was also performed to analyze supply reliability for the next five years, 2026 through 2030. Similarly, the results show that VWDs water supply is reliable and is not expected to see impactful change under drought conditions. 1.2 Annual Water Supply and Demand Assessment As an urban water supplier, VWD must prepare and submit an Annual Water Supply and Demand Assessment (Annual Assessment) per CWC Section 10632.1. Starting in 2022, the Annual Assessment will be due by July 1 of every year. The Annual Assessment is an evaluation of the near-term outlook for supplies and demands to determine whether the potential for a supply shortage exists and whether there is a need to trigger a WSCP shortage level and response actions in the current calendar year to maintain supply reliability. This process will take place at the same time each year based on known circumstances and information available to VWD at the time of analysis and can be update or revised at any time if circumstances change. VWD will establish and convene an internal WSCP Team to conduct the Annual Assessment each year. The WSCP may include the following staff and is led by the Water Conservation Department: General Manager Water Supply/Engineering Staff Water Conservation Staff Public Works Staff Finance The Annual Assessment procedure, including key data inputs and evaluation criteria, is summarized in Table 1-1.

Victorville Water District 1-4 Water Shortage Contingency Plan Table 1-1. Annual Assessment Procedure TIMING ASSESSMENT ACTIVITIES PROCEDURE, KEY DATA INPUTS, EVALUATION CRITERIA AND OTHER CONSIDERATIONS STAFF RESPONSIBLE Oct-Nov Estimate unconstrained demands for coming year Demands will be estimated based on water sales forecasts from annual budget or prior year demands plus any anticipated changes Water Supply/Engineering Oct-Nov Estimate available supplies for the year, considering the following year will be dry Previous year supplies (from Electronic Annual Report Water Supply) will be reviewed and compared to estimated demands for the coming up year to determine estimated supplies. VWD will coordinate with Mojave Water Agency to determine availability of Regional Recharge and Recovery Project water supply. Water Supply/Engineering Jan - Feb Consider potential constraints that may impact supply delivery Identify any known regional or VWD infrastructure issues that may pertain to near-term water supply reliability, including repairs, construction, and environmental mitigation measures that may temporarily constrain capabilities, as well as any new projects that may add to system capacity. Identify any facilities out of service due to water quality problems, equipment failure, etc. that may impact normal water deliveries. Water Supply/Engineering Feb Convene WSCP Team to conduct Annual Assessment Compare supplies and demands and discuss any constraints that may impact supply delivery. If the potential for a shortage exists, determine which shortage response level and actions are recommended to reduce/eliminate the shortage. Additionally, if the State declares a drought state of emergency and requires demand reductions, the WSCP Team will determine which water shortage level and response actions are needed to comply with the State mandate. WSCP Team Jun City of Victorville (City) Council review and action If the potential for a shortage exists or the State has mandated demand reductions, the results of the Annual Assessment will be presented to the VWD City Council, including the recommended shortage level and response actions. City Council may order the implementation of a shortage level and will adopt a resolution declaring the applicable water shortage level. General Manager City Council On-going Implement WSCP actions, if needed Relevant members of VWD staff will implement shortage response actions associated with the declared water shortage level WSCP Team By July 1 Submit Retail Annual Assessment Send Final Retail Annual Assessment to DWR WSCP Team

Victorville Water District 1-5 Water Shortage Contingency Plan

1.3 Six Standard Water Shortage Levels Water agencies relying solely on groundwater sources which are being managed under an adjudication, such as the VWD, are less likely to experience water shortages than those agencies relying primarily on surface water, due to the limited influence of climatic variability on groundwater supplies. Nevertheless, it is still important for groundwater agencies to reduce production during drought years to avoid excessive overdraft of the groundwater basin. VWDs rationing plan will be invoked during declared water shortages. Each stage includes a water reduction objective expressed as a percentage of normal demands. The rationing plan is dependent on the cause, severity, and anticipated duration of the water supply shortage. Stage 1: Normal Water Supply Condition (Year-Round Water Conservation) Stage 1 (when VWD is able to meet all the water demands of its customers in the immediate future) shall be in effect at all times, unless the City Council otherwise declares under the provisions of Section 10.05.070 of VWD Ordinance No. VWD012 that one or more of the VWDs stages are in effect. During Conservation Stage 1, it shall be unlawful and a violation of VWD Ordinance No. VWD012 for any water user to make, cause, use, or permit the use of water in any manner contrary to the provisions of the prohibitions listed in Table 1-3. The VWDs Ordinance No VWD-012 is available in Attachment 2. Stage 2: Threatened Water Supply Shortage Stage 2 shall be in effect when VWDs ability to provide water for ordinary domestic and commercial uses may be adversely impaired or threatened. Shortage Stage 2 will be implemented when a 10% to 28% reduction in total potable water production or water usage must be met. The actual percentage reduction required (based on State conservation mandates and other contributing factors) will be indicated in the VWD resolution enacting Shortage Stage 2. During Shortage Stage 2, it shall be unlawful and a violation of VWD Ordinance No. VWD012 for any water user to make, cause, use, or permit the use of water in any manner contrary to the prohibitions listed in Table 1-3. Stage 3: Critical Water Supply Shortage Stage 3 shall be in effect when VWDs ability to provide water for ordinary domestic and commercial uses may be critically impaired or threatened. Shortage Stage 3 will be implemented when a 29% to 40% reduction in total potable water production or water usage must be met. The actual percentage reduction required (based on State conservation mandates and other contributing factors) will be indicated in the VWD resolution enacting Shortage Stage 3. During Shortage Stage 3, it shall be unlawful and a violation of VWD Ordinance No. VWD012 for any water user to make, cause, use, or permit the use of water in any manner contrary to the prohibitions listed in Table 1-3. Stage 4: Emergency Water Supply Shortage Stage 4 shall be in effect when a disaster or other major disruption in the water supply or any emergency that prevents VWD from meeting the water demands of water users is threatened or exists. Shortage Stage 4 will be implemented when a total potable water production or water usage reduction in excess of 41%. The actual percentage reduction required (based on State conservation mandates and other contributing factors) will be indicated in the VWD resolution enacting Shortage Stage 4. Prohibitions during stage 4 are provided in Table 1-3.

Victorville Water District 1-6 Water Shortage Contingency Plan The City Manager shall promulgate a drought management plan containing regulations setting forth the criteria for implementation and termination of various water use reduction stages. The City Manager is authorized to declare a water shortage, and to implement a water shortage management plan, in response to events including (but not limited to) reductions in supply from any water purveyor or when an insufficient supply appears likely due to water system limitations or structural failure. Such declaration may designate the entire area of the City or a portion of it if the shortage is not citywide. The CWC outlines six standard water shortage levels that correspond to a gap in supply compared to normal year availability. The six standard water shortage levels correspond to progressively increasing estimated shortage conditions (up to 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, and greater than 50% shortage compared to the normal reliability condition) and align with the response actions that a water supplier would implement to meet the severity of the impending shortages. The CWC allows suppliers with an existing water shortage contingency plan that uses different water shortage levels to comply with the six standard levels by developing and including a cross-reference relating its existing shortage categories to the six standard water shortage levels. VWD is maintaining the current four shortage stages for this WSCP. A crosswalk defines how VWDs current water shortage stages will align with the DWRs standardized six levels of shortage. A visual representation of this alignment is shown in Figure 1-1. Table 1-2 summarizes DWRs WSCP levels and where VWDs levels align. Figure 1-1. Crosswalk to DWRs Six Shortage Stages Table 1-2.

1.4 Shortage Response Actions This section was completed pursuant to CWC Section 10632(a)(4) and 10632.5(a) and describes the response actions that must be implemented or considered for each stage to minimize social and economic impacts to the community. 1.4.1 Demand Reduction Mandatory compliance measures enacted during a water shortage are more severe than voluntary measures, produce greater savings, and are less costly to the utility. The principal drawback to these measures could result from customer resentment if the measures are not seen as equitable. Therefore, such measures need to be accompanied by a good public relations campaign. The demand reduction actions for each stage are shown in Table 1-3.

Victorville Water District 1-10 Water Shortage Contingency Plan

1.4.2 Supply Augmentation Table 1-4 identifies the supply augmentation actions VWD can take in the event of a water shortage condition. VWD currently maintains interconnections with Mojave Water Agency. During water shortage emergencies, VWD may be able to obtain supplemental water supply though this connection, if available. Table 1-4. Supply Augmentation & Other Actions DWR Table 8-3 SHORTAGE LEVEL SUPPLY AUGMENTATION METHODS AND OTHER ACTIONS BY WATER SUPPLIER HOW MUCH IS THIS GOING TO REDUCE THE SHORTAGE GAP? ADDITIONAL EXPLANATION OR REFERENCE 4 Other purchases 0-15% Purchase additional water from Mojave Water Agency if available 1.4.3 Emergency Response Plan In 2025, VWD completed a Risk and Resilience Assessment (RRA) and Emergency Response Plan (ERP) in accordance with Americas Water Infrastructure Act (AWIA) of 2018. The purpose of the RRA and ERP is to meet the AWIA compliance requirements and plan for long-term resilience of VWDs infrastructure. The RRA assessed VWDs water system to identify critical assets and processes that may be vulnerable to human and natural hazards, and to identify measures that can be taken to reduce risk and enhance resilience from service disruption for the benefit of customers. The RRA identifies and characterizes both infrastructure-specific and system-wide vulnerabilities and threats and quantifies the consequences of disruption. The RRA also identifies various options (and constraints) in addressing and mitigating risk. The RRA, in conjunction with the ERP, charts a course for water system resilience. The RRA also provided various recommendations to increase reliability of VWDs system. Because critical pieces of infrastructure and specific vulnerabilities are detailed in the RRA and ERP, the contents of the document are confidential and for use by VWDs staff only. However, VWD can confirm that these plans meet the requirements set forth by AWIA and evaluate seismic risks and mitigation actions to VWDs infrastructure. In the event of a water shortage emergency resulting from equipment failure, power outage, or other catastrophe, VWD is prepared to purchase emergency water supplies from nearby agencies while repairs or other remedial actions are underway. VWD may also implement its four-stage plan for conservation, as described above, with either voluntary or mandatory reductions depending on the severity of the shortage. For severe disasters (Stage 4), mandatory water use reductions are specified. 1.4.4 Seismic Risk Assessment and Mitigation Plan Disasters, such as earthquakes, can and will occur without notice. VWD has assessed the risk and mitigations for water facilities. VWD has identified a set of hazard mitigation actions that are intended to reduce the impact of hazards, including: Installed isolation valves on main transmission lines. Replaced pipes in areas of moderate to high liquefaction or traverse active faults. Strengthened concrete tank walls on large reservoirs. Retrofitted water tanks. Installed well discharge piping to accommodate differential settlement. Installed flexible connections for pipeline connections to pump stations.

1.4.5 Shortage Response Action Effectiveness VWD has estimated the effectiveness of shortage response actions when data pertaining to such actions is available. Estimates of the effectiveness for actions has been included in the DWR submittal tables. It is expected that response actions effectiveness is also a result of successful communication and outreach efforts. 1.5 Communication Protocols VWD prioritizes effective communication, especially in times of a water shortage emergency. VWD routinely communicates to customers about details on when a stage is announced. Communication actions may include bill inserts, handouts, informative flyers, and direct mail pieces to newspaper and bus shelter advertisements, news releases, social media outreach, and website content. VWD continues to provide reminders about shortage levels and encourages conservation at all times. 1.6 Compliance and Enforcement Section 10 of VWDs Ordinance No. VWD012, sets forth the fourstage WSCP, where violations to all mandatory provisions are a misdemeanor and violators may be punished by imprisonment, fine or both. In addition to these criminal penalties, the following civil actions can be initiated by VWD: For a first violation of any provision of the WSCP, the enforcement officer shall issue a written notice of first violation and provide the violator with educational materials on landscape water conservation, including a copy of this chapter. The notice shall give the designated water user a reasonable period of time to correct the violation. Failure to correct the violation within a reasonable period of time shall constitute a second violation. For a second violation of any provision of this chapter, the City shall issue a written notice of second violation to the designated water user imposing a fine in an amount not to exceed $100 and requiring immediate correction of the violation. For a third violation of any provision of this section, the City shall issue a written notice of third violation to the designated water user imposing a fine in an amount not to exceed $200 and requiring immediate correction of the violation. For a fourth or subsequent violation of this section, the City shall impose a fine in an amount not to exceed $500. The fourth and each subsequent violation of this chapter shall be deemed a public nuisance, which may be abated pursuant to the procedures provided in Chapter 13.02 nuisances of the Citys Municipal Code (Citys Code). Any citations issued and fines imposed on designated water users for violations of the chapter shall be served, administered, collected, and appealed in accordance with the procedures of Chapter 1.05 administrative remedies of the Citys Code. 1.7 Legal Authorities The Citys Code Chapter 13.60 addresses water conservation and establishes water waste prohibitions. This section of the Citys Code is adopted through Ordinances 2114, 2133, 2135, and 2338. City Ordinance No. 2338, revised Chapter 13.60 of the Citys Code to include provisions for water efficient landscaping as well as restrictions and prohibitions related to water waste. VWD also has adopted Ordinance Number VWD012 on May 19, 2015, which adopts a conservation program and amends the VWDs WSCP.

1.8 Financial Consequences of WSCP In May of 2021, VWD updated its comprehensive water rate study from 2015 for several reasons, including meeting longterm revenue requirements, providing revenue stability and adequate funding for capital improvements, and complying with legal requirements, including Proposition 218. The rates proposed in this study were developed in a manner that is consistent with industry standards, including court rulings affecting how the cost bases for water rates should be established. The rate study specifically addressed several key issues, including: Revenue Requirements and Financial Planning The long-range financial plan for VWD was closely examined and adjusted to best meet annual operating expenses, capital improvement costs, annual other post-employment benefits funding requirements, and established reserve requirements. Rate Structure rate structure was evaluated to ensure it is consistent with industry standards and addresses other key objectives. The fixed monthly charge will continue to be based on meter size which provides greater revenue stability. VWD also compared a number of volumetric rate alternatives, including tiered and uniform volumetric alternatives. Given source of supply and costs, the proposed 2-Tier volumetric rates for single-family residential customers with a uniform volumetric rate for all other customers is best suited for VWD. Fixed vs. Variable Charges The amount of revenue collected from fixed charges vs. volumetric rates was carefully examined. The proposed rate design will collect the projected water supply costs from volumetric charges and the remaining revenue requirement from fixed charges. In the first year of the rate adjustment, new rates will continue to collect 27% of revenue from fixed charges and 73% from volumetric charges but will transition to a 40% fixed and 60% volumetric split by Year 5 of the proposed rates to move closer to the 53% fixed and 47% volumetric split that resulted from the cost-of-service analysis. By adjusting the fixed vs. volumetric split, VWD is increasing revenue stability while still promoting conservation. Statewide Conservation The State imposed drought-related conservation level 2 (25% Statewide) back in 2015 and VWD was mandated to reduce water consumption by 28% beginning in April 2015. As the State may be heading into another drought, the current and projected future consumption levels were closely evaluated and incorporated into the rate study. LongTerm Conservation The assumptions and recommendations contained in the rate study assume that water supplies will continue to be limited in the future and that, in the long run, customers will reduce consumption accordingly. Therefore, the drought rates developed in the rate study will allow VWD to meet its annual revenue requirements at various stages of conservation even if drought conditions worsen over the next five years. The new volumetric rate structure recommended by the rate study is set to the marginal cost of water, meaning that changes in consumption would cause matching changes in revenue and expenses. Under this structure, a reduction in water sales due to conservation would not have a negative fiscal impact on VWD. Drought rates can be implemented by VWD at various conservation levels that range from 20% through 50%; however, due to the higher marginal cost savings provided by the new rate structure, drought rates would not be needed after Year 2 since the losses from drought revenue reductions would be offset by marginal cost reductions. Drought rates were developed in 10% increments that VWD can implement for 20% through 50% conservation levels. The new rates are subject to the substantive and procedural requirements of Proposition 218 (Cal. Const. Art. XIIID). Section 6 of Article XIIID sets forth standards for setting rates that reflect the proportional cost of providing water services, as well as requirements for providing notice, a public hearing, and the ability to protest such proposed revisions to and increases in charges and fees for water service.

Victorville Water District 1-13 Water Shortage Contingency Plan To ensure VWD customers comply with Ordinance 225 and CWC Chapter 3.3 (Excessive Residential Water Use During Drought), additional staff costs will be incurred to monitor and enforce response actions. The incurred cost may vary depending on the shortage stage and duration of the water shortage emergency. 1.9 Monitoring and Reporting The water savings from implementation of the WSCP will be determined based on monthly production reports, which are reviewed and compared to production reports and pumping statistics from prior months and the same period of the prior year. Under shortage conditions, these production reports could be prepared as often as daily. At first, the cumulative consumption for the various sectors (e.g., residential, commercial, etc.) will be evaluated for reaching the target level. Then if needed, individual accounts will be monitored. Weather and other possible influences may be accounted for in the evaluation. 1.10 WSCP Refinement Procedures The WSCP is best prepared and implemented as an adaptive management plan. VWD will use results obtained from their monitoring and reporting program to evaluate any needs for revisions. Potential changes to the WSCP that would warrant an update include, but are not limited to, any changes to trigger conditions, changes to the shortage stage structure, and/or changes to customer reduction actions. Any prospective changes to the WSCP would need to be presented to City Council for discretionary approval. Once discretionary approval has been granted, VWD will hold a public hearing, obtain any comments and adopt the updated WSCP. Notices for refinement and the public hearing date will be published in the local newspaper in advance of any public meetings. 1.11 Plan Adoption, Submittal, and Availability VWD adopted this WSCP with the 2025 RUWMP. The 2025 RUWMP and WSCP were made available for public review in June 2026 and a public hearing was held on June 16, 2026 to receive public input on the draft 2025 RUWMP and the WSCP. The City Council adopted the 2025 RUWMP and the WSCP at a public meeting on June 16, 2026. The resolution of adoption is included in Attachment 1. This WSCP was submitted to DWR through the WUEdata portal before the deadline of July 1, 2026. This WSCP will be available to the public on the Citys web site. If VWD identifies the need to amend this WSCP, it will follow the same procedures for notification to cities, counties and the public as used for the 2025 RUWMP and for initial adoption of the WSCP.

Strategic Plan Goal:

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

Background:

City-Wide Assessment Districts were formed in accordance with the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972, pursuant to Section 22605 of the Streets and Highways Code, and Section 22500 et seq., as per the requirements set forth in Proposition 218. In 1987, the City Council established the first Landscape Maintenance Assessment District (LMAD) to provide ongoing funding for the maintenance of landscaped areas along major and secondary arterial roadways adjacent to residential developments.

In 2003, the first Drainage Facilities Assessment District (DFAD) was created to support the continued maintenance of drainage basins and channels within residential housing developments.

In 2006, the City Council established the first Maintenance Assessment District (MAD) to fund the long-term maintenance of parks located within residential communities.

In 2013, the City-Wide Street Lighting Assessment District (SLAD) was formed to supplement funding for the ongoing maintenance of the City’s street lighting, safety lighting, and traffic signal systems and facilities.

As outlined in Section 22624, the City Council is first required to initiate proceedings by ordering the preparation of the Engineer’s Reports, preliminarily approving the reports, and declaring the intent to levy assessments and set the date for the Public Hearing. This process ensures the public has the opportunity to review the Engineer’s Reports and allows staff to make any necessary revisions. The final Engineer’s Reports are then presented for consideration at a subsequent public hearing. 4 7

Discussion:

During the regular City Council meeting held on June 2, 2026, the City Council initiated the proceedings, ordered the preparation of the Engineer’s Reports, preliminarily approved the Engineer’s Reports, and declared its intent to levy and set the Public Hearing date. The Engineer’s Reports have not been revised since the June 2, 2026, City Council meeting, and are now in final form on file with the Engineering Department.

Expenditures for each assessment district were updated to reflect the recently approved Fiscal Year 2026/2027 budget.

Required procedures now allow the public to comment during this meeting before approving the final resolutions. If the resolutions are approved, the special assessments will be submitted to the San Bernardino County Office prior to their August 10, 2026, deadline. The County will then be able to apply the special assessments to the Fiscal Year 2026/2027 tax rolls.

Therefore, staff recommends that the City Council conduct a public hearing and receive testimony, give final approval of the Engineer’s Reports, and adopt Resolution Nos. 26- 055 through 26-058, confirming and ordering the levy and collection of the annual assessments for the respective assessment districts.

Staff is available to answer any questions the Council may have.

Subject:

Annual Confirmation of Maintenance Assessment District for Fiscal Year 2026/2027 Recommendation:

That the Honorable City Council:
(1) Approve Resolution Nos. 26-027, 26-030, 26-033, and 26-036 authorizing the initiation proceedings for the annual levy of assessments for the Maintenance Assessments Districts, Drainage Facilities Assessment Districts, Landscaping Maintenance Assessment Districts, and the City-Wide Streetlight Assessment District for Fiscal Year 2026/2027;
(2) Approve Resolution Nos. 26-028, 26-031, 26-034, and 26-037 preliminarily approving consolidated Engineer’s Reports filed in support of the levy of assessments for Fiscal Year 2025/2026; and
(3) Approve Resolution Nos. 26-029, 26-032, 26-035, and 26-038 declaring its intention to levy the maintenance assessment districts for Fiscal Year 2026/2027 and setting a Public Hearing date of June 16, 2026.

Fiscal Impact:

The recommended approvals will have no fiscal impact. No additional appropriations are required, as the planned expenditures have been incorporated into the proposed Fiscal Year 2026/2027 budget. The table below outlines the budget account codes and the corresponding revenue amounts allocated for each assessment district.

SLAD 2004501-40180 $2,090,733
MAD 3 was established in 2020 and remains undeveloped. As a result, it was not included in the proposed Fiscal Year 2026/2027 budget. The projected revenue amounts listed above are based on the proposed Engineer’s Reports, outlining the number of parcels and allowable levy amount by assessment district.

Strategic Plan Goal:

This item aligns with Goal E, Strategy 1 in the Strategic Plan, “Invest in Infrastructure” and “Implement the City’s Capital Improvement Program to meet community needs;” and Goal A, “Financial Sustainability.” Annual assessment revenue supports the expenses for operations, maintenance, and improvement of associated landscaping, parks, and infrastructure.

Background:

City Wide Assessment Districts were formed in accordance with the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972, pursuant to Section 22605 of the Streets and Highways Code, and Section 22500 et seq., as per the requirements set forth in Proposition 218.

In 1987, the City Council established the first Landscape Maintenance Assessment District (LMAD) to provide ongoing funding for the maintenance of landscaped areas along major and secondary arterial roadways adjacent to residential developments.

In 2003, the first Drainage Facilities Assessment District (DFAD) was created to support the continued maintenance of drainage basins and channels within residential developments.

In 2006, the City Council established the first Maintenance Assessment District (MAD) to fund the long-term maintenance of parks located within residential communities.

In July 2013, the City-Wide Street Lighting Assessment District (SLAD) was formed to supplement funding for the ongoing maintenance of the City’s Street lighting, safety lighting, and traffic signal systems and facilities.

As outlined in Section 22624 of the Streets and Highways Code, the City Council is first required to initiate proceedings by ordering the preparation of the Engineer’s Reports, 4 7
3 0
preliminarily approving the reports, and declaring the intent to levy assessments and set the date for the Public Hearing. This process ensures the public has the opportunity to review the Engineer’s Reports and allows staff to make any necessary revisions. The final Engineer’s Reports are then presented for consideration at a subsequent public hearing.

Discussion:

Currently, the City has a total of fifteen (15) assessment districts: eight (8) LMADs, three (3) DFADs, three (3) MADs, and one (1) 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 assessed in the district; the method of appointment of the assessment; the calculated assessment per benefit unit; and estimated assessment revenues.

The chart below listed 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 recommend increase for Fiscal Year 2026/2027.

MAD 2 $252.58 2006 Yes 0%
MAD 3 TBD 2020 Yes 0%
SLAD City-Wide $28.68 2013 Yes 18.12%
A cost escalation of the assessment rate is allowed for cost increases of electric power, administrative costs, and inflation on cost of living. For fiscal year 2026/2027, SLAD is increasing by 18.12%, there is no recommended increases 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 4 7
3 0
the final FY 2026/2027 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 June 16, 2026.

Therefore, staff recommends that the City Council:
(1) Approve Resolution Nos. 26-027, 26-030, 26-033, and 26-036 authorizing the initiation proceedings for the annual levy of assessments for the Maintenance Assessments Districts, Drainage Facilities Assessment Districts, Landscaping Maintenance Assessment Districts, and the City-Wide Streetlight Assessment District for Fiscal Year 2026/2027;
(2) Approve Resolution Nos. 26-028, 26-031, 26-034, and 26-037 preliminarily approving consolidated Engineer’s Reports filed in support of the levy of assessments for Fiscal Year 2025/2026; and
(3) Approve Resolution Nos. 26-029, 26-032, 26-035, and 26-038 declaring its intention to levy the maintenance assessment districts for Fiscal Year 2026/2027 and setting a Public Hearing date of June 16, 2026.

Staff remains available for any questions the Council may have.

2026/2027 Consolidated Report Maintenance Assessment Districts Page 1 I. 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 2026/2027. 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 2026/2027, 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 2026/2027 pursuant to the

2026/2027 Consolidated Report Maintenance Assessment Districts Page 2 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 2026/2027.

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 1972 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 ten (10) tracts, five (5) lots, consisting of four (4) planned parks, associated public rights-of-way and easements as identified on the approved tentative tract maps for the overall project.

2026/2027 Consolidated Report Maintenance Assessment Districts Page 7 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

2026/2027 Consolidated Report Maintenance Assessment Districts Page 8 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.

2026/2027 Consolidated Report Maintenance Assessment Districts Page 9 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.

2026/2027 Consolidated Report Maintenance Assessment Districts Page 10 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:

2026/2027 Consolidated Report Maintenance Assessment Districts Page 11

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 2026/2027, the percentage difference from January 2025 to January 2026 is

3.24%.

2026/2027 Consolidated Report Maintenance Assessment Districts Page 12

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 2026/2027, the inflationary adjustment for MAD No. 3 is 3.24%.

The table below summarizes the Fiscal Year 2026/2027 Maximum Assessment Rate increases:

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.

2026/2027 Consolidated Report Drainage Facilities Assessment District Page 1 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 2026/2027. 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, 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 (Article XIII D). For Fiscal Year 2026/2027, 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.

2026/2027 Consolidated Report Drainage Facilities Assessment District Page 2 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 2026/2027 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 2026/2027.

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 1972 Act, 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.

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, located south of Hopland Street and east of Cahuenga Road, were annexed to DFAD No. 1.

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.

2026/2027 Consolidated Report Drainage Facilities Assessment District Page 3 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 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.

2026/2027 Consolidated Report Drainage Facilities Assessment District Page 9 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.

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, which provide a special benefit to properties within the Districts.

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

2026/2027 Consolidated Report Drainage Facilities Assessment District Page 10 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 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 of this Report, 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.

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.

2026/2027 Consolidated Report Drainage Facilities Assessment District Page 11 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 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, 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.

2026/2027 Consolidated Report Drainage Facilities Assessment District Page 12 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 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 2026/2027, the percentage difference from January 2025 to January 2026 is 3.24%.

The table below summarizes the Fiscal Year 2026/2027 Maximum Assessment Rate increases:

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 is 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.

2026/2027 Consolidated Report Landscape Maintenance Assessment Districts Page 1 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 2026/2027. 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.

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 2026/2027, 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

2026/2027 Consolidated Report Landscape Maintenance Assessment Districts Page 2 assessments, the City Council may order the levy and collection of assessments for Fiscal Year 2026/2027 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 2026/2027.

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.

B. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
The residential subdivision plans for the tracts within LMAD Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4, 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 1972 Act, 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.

LMAD No. 1
In 1987, Landscape Maintenance Assessment District No. 1 (hereinafter “LMAD No. 1” or the “District”), was formed by Resolutions 87-62, 87-63, and 87-64. The District consists of 60 Tracts and 751,874 square feet of landscaped area located throughout the City.

LMAD No. 2
In 1989, Landscape Maintenance Assessment District No. 2 (hereinafter “LMAD No. 2” or the “District”) was formed by Resolutions 89-238, 89-239, and 89-240. The District consists of 16 Tracts and 696,838 square feet of landscaped area located within the Eagle Ranch Specific Plan boundaries in the City.

LMAD No. 3
In 1990 Landscape Maintenance Assessment District No. 3 (hereinafter “LMAD No. 3” or the “District”), was formed by Resolutions 90-019, 90-020, and 90-021.

Originally, the Developer subdivided all of the single-family parcels of the Master Tract, Tract Map No. 13843. However, in 1996 the economy was recovering from a depression, the 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

2026/2027 Consolidated Report Landscape Maintenance Assessment Districts Page 3 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.

LMAD No. 4
Property owner improvements for Old Town were submitted and approved with certain conditions. One such condition required a means to fund the perpetual maintenance of landscaping within the public right-of-way and dedicated easement areas. In order to meet this condition, the property owners petitioned the City to form an assessment district. In 1995, Landscape Maintenance Assessment District No. 4 (hereinafter “LMAD No. 4” or the “District”), was formed by Resolutions 95-107, 95-108, and 95-109. The District consists of twenty-six (26) properties and 10,018 square feet of landscaped area located in Old Town in the City.

LMAD No. 5
In 2002, Landscape Maintenance Assessment District No. 5 (hereinafter “LMAD No. 5” or the “District”), was formed by Resolutions 02-021, 02-022, and 02-023. The District consists of 13 Tracts and 762,905 square feet of landscaped entry monuments, street and sidewalk, and channel landscape area that are located throughout the Vista Verde Specific Plan.

LMAD No. 6
In 2003, Landscape Maintenance Assessment District No. 6 (hereinafter “LMAD No. 6” or the “District”), was formed by Resolutions 03-050, 03-051, 03-052 and 03-053. The District consists of 112 Tracts and 734,892 square feet of landscaped area 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 LMAD No. 6.

In Fiscal Year 2023/2024 Tract 18980, located north of Silica Road and west of Second Avenue, and Tract 20280 were annexed to LMAD No. 6

LMAD No. 7
In 2004, Landscape Maintenance Assessment District No. 7 (hereinafter “LMAD No. 7” or the “District”), was formed by Resolutions 04-036, 04-037, 04-038 and 04-039. There are six (6) Tracts in the District and existing landscaping improvements are 32,416 square feet within the Talon Ranch development area.

LMAD No. 8
In 2005, Landscape Maintenance Assessment District No. 8 (hereinafter “LMAD No. 8” or the “District”), was formed by Resolutions 05-073 and 05-074. There are twenty (20) Tracts in the District and existing landscaping improvements are 1,129,932 square feet within the West Creek development area.

2026/2027 Consolidated Report Landscape Maintenance Assessment Districts Page 10 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.

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.

Therefore, it has been determined that all improvements provided by the Districts are considered only special benefits for assessment purposes unless otherwise noted. Any

2026/2027 Consolidated Report Landscape Maintenance Assessment Districts Page 11 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 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.

2026/2027 Consolidated Report Landscape Maintenance Assessment Districts Page 12 E. EQUIVALENT BENEFIT UNITS
In order to allocate benefit fairly between the parcels, an Equivalent Benefit Unit methodology is proposed which equates all land uses to a single-family residential parcel, thereby allowing a uniform method of assessment.

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.

2026/2027 Consolidated Report Landscape Maintenance Assessment Districts Page 14 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 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 2026/2027, the percentage difference from January 2025 to January 2026 is 3.24%.

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 Maximum Rates for LMAD Nos. 1-4 have not increased since prior to the passage of Proposition 218 in 1996. Due to inflation and increased costs over the last 30 years, the Maximum Rates for these Districts are no longer sufficient to sustain the level of maintenance originally intended for the improvements. 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 2026/2027 maximum allowable assessment rates for each District:

2026/2027 Consolidated Report Landscape Maintenance Assessment Districts Page 15

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.

The following tables summarize the Fiscal Year 2026/2027 proposed assessment rate, Maximum Assessment Rate, and the anticipated total assessment for each District:

2026/2027 City-Wide Street Lighting Assessment District Page 1 I. OVERVIEW
A. INTRODUCTION
The City of Victorville (the “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 (the “Report”) describes the SLAD therein, any changes to the District, and the proposed assessments for Fiscal Year 2026/2027. 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 1972 Act.

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., a map of the District showing the boundary of the District, the parcels or lots which benefit. Once the Report is completed, it is presented to the Victorville City Council (the “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 2026/2027 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 2026/2027 pursuant to the 1972 Act. In such case, the assessment information will be submitted to the San Bernardino County (the “County”) Auditor-Controller and included on the property tax roll for each benefiting parcel for Fiscal Year 2026/2027. Benefiting parcels that do not

2026/2027 City-Wide Street Lighting Assessment District Page 2 receive a property tax bill, due to their status as non-taxable with the 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 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.

2026/2027 City-Wide Street Lighting Assessment District Page 7 IV. METHOD OF ASSESSMENT
A. BACKGROUND
The 1972 Act provides that assessments may be apportioned upon all assessable lots or parcels of land within an assessment district in proportion to the estimated special 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 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

2026/2027 City-Wide Street Lighting Assessment District Page 8 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. As outlined in Proposition 218, an improvement that does not provide a special benefit to the parcels within the District is considered a general benefit.

The general benefit portion of the improvements are funded by ad valorem taxes received by the City from the County and/or by other sources, and are not assessed to parcels in the District. As discussed above, 75% of the streetlighting improvements on arterial roads in the District is considered a general benefit to the public at large and 50% of the traffic signal improvements in the District are considered general benefit to the public at large.

Thus, the total benefits from the improvements described herein are a combination of the special benefits to the parcels within the District and the general benefits to the public at large. The streetlight and traffic signal maintenance costs which are associated with

2026/2027 City-Wide Street Lighting Assessment District Page 9 general benefits are not assessed to the parcels in the District but are paid from the funds identified above. The contribution from non-assessment funding sources is more than adequate in offsetting any general benefit element for streetlighting 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, is utilized 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 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 (“EBU”).  Parcels, or lots, designated as 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.

2026/2027 City-Wide Street Lighting Assessment District Page 10 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.

2026/2027 City-Wide Street Lighting Assessment District Page 11 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.

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.

2026/2027 City-Wide Street Lighting Assessment District Page 12 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 nor planned for development for use 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:

2026/2027 City-Wide Street Lighting Assessment District Page 13 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 2026/2027, the percentage difference from January 2025 to January 2026 is 3.24%.

Historical CPI changes are listed below:

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 to the City’s lighting systems and facilities. On August 19, 2021 CPUC approved Southern California Edison’s (SCE) 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.

City Council / Board of Directors
Public Hearing(s)
Meeting of: June 16, 2026
Submitted By:

Keith C. Metzler, City Manager
Andre de Bortnowsky, City Attorney
Subject:
(1) Consideration of Ordinance No. 2468, Adding Chapter 3.07 To Title 3 of the Victorville Municipal Code for the Purpose of Establishing and Imposing a Supplemental One Percent (1%) General Transactions and Use Tax to be Administered by the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration, Subject to Adoption by City Voters; and (2) Proposed Resolution No. 26-051, Ordering Submission to the Qualified Voters of the City at the General Municipal Election on November 3, 2026, a Ballot Measure To Approve an Ordinance Establishing a Supplemental One Percent (1%) General Transactions and Use (Sales) Tax and Authorizing Related Actions Recommendation:

That the Honorable City Council:
(1) Open and conduct a Public Hearing on proposed Ordinance No. 2468; (2) Receive testimony;
(3) Close the public hearing;
(4) Find Ordinance No. 2468 exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(4); (5) Introduce Ordinance No. 2468 for adoption and first reading by title only; (6) Waive further reading in full of proposed Ordinance No. 2468; and (7) Consider and adopt Resolution No. 26-051, approving the proposed Ordinance and ballot measure language and ordering same to be submitted to the voters Fiscal Impact:

If approved by City voters in November, current year 1 revenue estimates are approximately $29 million. Costs to place the measure on the ballot was included in the FY 2026/2027 budget in account code 1001251-52300 (City Clerk Elections) and was estimated by the Registrar of Voters as approximately 263,500 of the total 2026 Victorville Election estimated at approximately $300,000.

Strategic Plan Goal:

This item aligns with Goal A, Financial Sustainability, which focuses on fostering fiscal health through disciplined long-term planning, cost control and increased revenues.

Background:

On November 18, 2025, at a regularly-scheduled meeting of the Victorville City Council, Staff received City Council direction to take steps toward placing a general Transactions and Use (Sales) Tax measure on the November 2026 ballot to support public infrastructure and other City services. Staff were further directed to develop a plan evaluating the need for a new tax measure and to retain outside consultants to assist with communications.

At a regular City Council meeting held on May 19, 2026, Staff presented the outcome of its public infrastructure and City services needs assessment and the results of various community surveys and polls conducted by consultants retained by the City. The needs assessment and surveys/polls identified funding priorities for substantial funding constraints, community attitudes, and other data regarding the proposed measure and contained a recommendation from the City Manager that the City Council consider placing a one percent (1.0%) General Transactions and Use Tax (“TUT”) on the November 2026 ballot so that City of Victorville voters could decide whether to approve a TUT that could increase the level of Public Safety Services, including but not limited to Police, Fire, and Emergency Response; maintain quality drinking water supplies, address public infrastructure needs, and provide/support other important City services. If approved by the voters, the TUT would be added on to the local sales tax rate currently charged in the City, making the new rate 9.75%.

Following a PowerPoint presentation and considerable discussion, the City Council voted unanimously and directed Staff to proceed with placing a 1% general TUT measure and implementing ordinance on the November 3, 2026 ballot for consideration by City voters.

In response, the City Attorney’s Office had prepared Ordinance No. 2468 (Attachment A).

Subject to approval by a majority of City of Victorville voters at the November 3, 2026 General Municipal Election, Ordinance No. 2468 imposes a supplemental 1% general TUT, which would be levied on the sale or use of tangible personal property sold at retail, with certain exceptions. Retailers collect the tax at the time of sale and remit the funds to the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA), which administers the tax. If approved by the voters, collection of the TUT would likely commence in April of 2027.

The proceeds of this general TUT must be deposited in the City’s general fund, and made available for any lawful municipal purpose, including without limitation, to expand public safety services (police, fire and paramedics); to improve and preserve ground water quality and supply; repair streets and potholes, and improve roadway safety; increase parks, recreation and children’s play spaces; and to provide other City services, programs, and infrastructure improvements.

8 3
Ordinance No. 2468 is similar in content and structure to the Measure P TUT ordinance approved by City voters in 2020. However, it also includes a provision for spending oversight by a Citizens’ Committee, which the existing Measure P Oversight Committee can fulfill.

Discussion:

Because the California Revenue and Tax Code requires a TUT to be imposed by an ordinance (which must first be approved by a 2/3 majority vote of the membership of the City Council), the first step in placing a TUT on the November 2026 ballot consists of conducting the public hearing and introducing for first reading Ordinance No. 2468.

However, it is vital to note that Ordinance No. 2468 can only become effective upon approval by a majority of City voters.

The second step involves a second reading of Ordinance No. 2468 and adoption thereof by the City Council (again by a 2/3 majority vote of the membership).

The third step involves the City Council adopting Resolution No. 26-051 (Attachment B) (also by a 2/3 majority vote of full membership), to which adopted Ordinance No. 2468 would be attached as an Exhibit.

Normally, the first step would be the only action Staff would be asking the City Council to take at this meeting; and the second and third steps, in that order, would take place at the next regularly-scheduled City Council meeting, which was to be held on July 7, 2026.

However, because the July 7, 2026 meeting has been cancelled, and due to certain timing constraints on submission of ballot measure materials to the San Bernardino County Registrar of Voters (ROV) with which the City must comply, both step one (introduction and first reading of the ordinance) and step three (adopting Resolution No. 26-051) must take place at the June 16th meeting, and step two (second reading and final adoption of Ordinance No. 2468) will take place on June 23, 2026, provided the City Council takes action to adjourn the June 16th meeting to that date.

Adoption of Resolution No. 26-051 will:
(1) Order the submission of adopted Ordinance No. 2468 to the voters of the City at the November 3, 2026, General Municipal Election;
(2) Approve the text of the measure to be printed in on the ballot at said election; and (3) Authorize the taking of additional actions needed to move the ballot measure through the election process.

The additional actions in the election process include: directing the City Clerk to submit Resolution No. 26-051 (together with its Ordinance No. 2458 exhibit) to the San Bernardino County Registrar of Voters (ROV); ordering the City Attorney to prepare an impartial analysis of the TUT measure to be printed in the ballot pamphlet; and authorizing the submittal of ballot arguments and rebuttals to the measure to the ROV and setting submission deadlines therefor.
4 7
8 3
Resolution No. 26-051 further authorizes the City Clerk and the City Attorney to make non-substantive technical, and/or clerical changes to both Resolution No. 26-051 and Ordinance No. 2468 in the event such are required by the ROV or the CDTFA. Should the measure be approved by City voters, the City will contract with the CDTFA to administer and collect the tax on the City’s behalf.

To accommodate the unusual timing issue and order of events, Resolution No. 26-051 has been structured to become effective only after Ordinance No. 2468 has been read a second time and adopted by a 2/3’s vote of the City Council membership.

Staff are available for any questions the City Council may have.

AND AUTHORIZING RELATED ACTIONS
W
HEREAS, the City Council of the City of Victorville (“City Council”) seeks to provide a safe, clean, and well-maintained community where its residents and businesses can prosper and thrive; and
W
HEREAS, the City of Victorville (the “ City”) faces increasing challenges in maintaining and enhancing public safety service levels, public infrastructure, park and recreation facilities, and other public services and programs due to significant unfunded State mandates and budget cuts, rising costs, and other factors beyond the City’s control; and W
HEREAS, pursuant to California Revenue and Taxation Code (“ RTC”) sections 7285 and 7285.9, c ities and counties, subject to certain limitations and approval requirements, are authorized to levy a transactions and use (sales) tax or (“TUT”) for general or specific purposes, in accordance with the procedures and requirements set forth in said RTC sections, including a requirement that the combined rate of all such taxes that may be imposed in those jurisdictions does not exceed 2%. The combined rate applies countywide, so if one agency imposes a TUT, it may limit the ability of another agency in the same jurisdiction to impose a TUT if there is no remaining room under the 2% cap; and
WHEREAS, the County of San Bernardino ( the “ County”) currently imposes a countywide TUT of 0.5% for transportation, and the City currently imposes a citywide TUT of 1%. As a result, under the provisions of the RTC noted above, either the City or the County could, but only on a first-come first-served basis, impose an additional TUT of 0.5% before reaching the 2% combined rate limit; and
WHEREAS, recognizing this limitation, in 2024 the State Legislature passed Assembly Bill (AB) 2443, which in part added Section 7287.11 to the RTC, authorizing the City to impose an additional TUT by ordinance or voter initiative of up to 1%, even if such TUT exceeds the 2% cap when combined with any TUTs imposed by the County; and W
HEREAS, at a regularly-scheduled meeting held on November 18, 2025, the City Council directed staff to begin taking steps to place a general TUT measure on the November 2026 ballot to support public infrastructure and other City services, develop a plan evaluating the need for a new tax measure, and to retain outside help with communications relating thereto; and 2 WHEREAS, a t its regular City Council meeting held on May 19, 2026, City Staff presented the outcome of its public infrastructure and City service s needs assessment, as well as the results of various community surveys conducted by c onsultants retained by the City which identified funding priorities, community attitudes, and other data regarding the proposed TUT measure; and
W
HEREAS, following consideration and discussion of the materials and information provided at the May 19, 2026 meeting, City Council directed S taff to proceed with placing a 1% general TUT measure and implementing ordinance on the November 3, 2026 ballot for consideration by the voters of the City; and
W
HEREAS, the proposed ordinance would impose a general transactions and use (sales) tax, the proceeds of which would be utilized for unrestricted general revenue purposes, including without limitation: enhancing City fire and paramedic services and facilities, which could improve emergency response times; keeping public areas safe and clean; implementing traffic safety measures; expanding law enforcement services and facilit ies; maintaining streets and repairing potholes; addressing homelessness; improving stormwater and drainage facilities; providing a safe and clean drinking water supply; increasing park and recreation spaces and children’s play areas, and providing other City services, programs, and infrastructure improvements; and WHEREAS, pursuant to RTC Section 7287.11, the City Council desires to submit to the voters of the City at the November 3, 2026 General Municipal Election, a proposed ordinance adding Chapter 3.07 to the Victorville Municipal Code to impose a supplemental general Transactions and Use (sales) Tax (hereinafter the “Tax”), that, if approved by the voters, would be: (1) imposed at a rate of one percent (1%), or one cent ($0.01) per dollar, on retail sales in the City; (2) collected by the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (“CDTFA”); and (3) and remitted by the CDTFA to the City; and
W
HEREAS, at its regular meeting held on June 16, 2026, the City Council conducted a public hearing and introduced proposed Ordinance No. 2468 regarding said Tax for first reading and subsequent adoption by the City Council by a 2/3 majority vote of the full membership of the City Council , said Ordinance to be effective only following the second reading and adoption thereof by a 2/3 majority vote of the full membership of the City Council and subsequent approval by majority vote of the qualified voters of the City; and W
HEREAS, the Tax proposed by Ordinance No. 2468 is a general tax that can be used for any municipal purpose, including without limitation, the City services , programs, and infrastructure improvements outlined above, with all revenues received being locally-controlled, placed in the City’s general fund, and subject to independent audit as well as public review; and W
HEREAS, Article XIII C, Section 2( b) of the California Constitution precludes imposition of any general tax unless that tax is submitted to the electorate and approved by a majority vote; and
W
HEREAS, a General Municipal Election has been called by the City for November 3, 2026, by Resolution No. 26-040 adopted on June 2, 2026; and 3 WHEREAS, Resolution No. 26-041 , also adopted on June 2, 2026, requested that the County consolidate said General Municipal Election with the Statewide Election to be conducted on November 3, 2026; and
W
HEREAS, nothing contained herein or in Ordinance No. 2468 attached hereto as Exhibit A, is intended to, or shall repeal, amend or replace, the City’s existing Transactions and Use Tax Ordinance, codified in Chapter 3.06 of the Victorville Municipal Code, and the tax imposed thereunder shall remain in place and in full force and effect and will not be superseded or affected by the passage or defeat of the proposed ballot measure or the ordinance attached hereto.

Item Number: 4
City Council / Board of Directors
Consent Calendar
Meeting of: June 16, 2026
Submitted By:

Doug Mathews, Director of Public Works and Water

Subject:

CalRecycle Waste Tire Amnesty Grant (Cycle FY 2025-26) Acceptance and City of Victorville FY 2025-26 Budget Amendment
Recommendation:

That the Honorable City Council adopt Resolution No. 26-050 to authorize acceptance of the CalRecycle Waste Tire Amnesty Grant (Cycle FY 2025-26) and amend the City of Victorville Fiscal Year 2025-26 budget to reflect $22,701 in additional revenue and expenditures related to the Waste Tire Amnesty Grant.

Fiscal Impact:

Acceptance of the CalRecycle Waste Tire Amnesty Grant (Cycle FY 2025-26) will increase the City’s FY 2025-26 revenue budget by $22,701 and increase expense appropriations by an equal amount in the following account numbers:

Account Code Amounts
2704010-43110-21229 (Revenue) $22,701
2704010-52300-21229 (Expense – Contract Services) $19,740 2704010-52170-21229 (Expense – Advertising) $2,961
There is no requirement for the City to provide matching funds. The City will expend the approved funding amount and then submit a request to CalRecycle for reimbursement.

Funds are tracked through City budget Org 2704010 (Waste Tire Amnesty Grant) and Project 21229 (Cycle 25-26).

Strategic Plan Goal:

This item aligns with Goal A of the Strategic Plan, Financial Sustainability. The State grant funds will reimburse the City for the costs of providing a tire drop-off program for residents, allowing the City to provide this service at no net cost to the City's Solid Waste (Fund 426) or Landfill Mitigation (Fund 427) budgets.

Background:

California Public Resources Code (PRC) Section 42885(b) requires those who purchase a new tire to pay a “California tire fee” of $1.75 per tire. Public Resources Code (PRC) Section 42889 designates $0.75 of the fee to be used for programs to mitigate or remediate air pollution caused by waste tires. The balance of the fee goes to the California Tire Recycling Management Fund to fund the State’s waste tire program which is described in PRC Sections 42870-42875. Fees collected are to be used for programs to reduce tires sent to landfill; recycle and reclaim used tires to recover valuable natural resources; and to eliminate illegal dumping and unnecessary stockpiling of used tires.

CalRecycle offers several grants to achieve the objectives of the State’s waste tire program, including but not limited to a Tire Amnesty Grant and a Tire Cleanup Grant.

Each grant has a 2-year grant term, with the Waste Tire Cleanup Grant Program offered in even-numbered years and the Waste Tire Amnesty Grant offered in odd-numbered years. In fiscal year 2025-26, the State allocated a total of $1.5 million for the Local Government Waste Tire Amnesty Grant Program. The City previously applied for and received a Local Government Waste Tire Amnesty Grant for Cycle 2023-24 in the amount of $29,800.

On October 3, 2023, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 23-081 which authorized the submittal of applications for the CalRecycle Waste Tire Amnesty Grant and authorized the City Manager or his designee as the signature authority to execute all grant documents necessary to secure grant funds and implement the approved grant project.

This authorization was utilized to submit the grant application to CalRecycle for the Cycle FY 2025-26 Waste Tire Amnesty Grant on April 8, 2025. CalRecycle notified the City on April 7, 2026, that the grant had been approved. Grant funds for the Cycle FY 25-26 Waste Tire Amnesty Grant funding cycle must be fully expended by October 28, 2027.

Discussion:

In accordance with the City’s grant policy, staff is seeking City Council authorization for acceptance of the grant award and amendment of the City’s FY 2025-26 budget to ratify the associated expenditure plan for the Cycle FY 2025-26 Waste Tire Amnesty Grant in the amount of $22,701.

The City will use the grant funds to continue to provide a free tire drop off program for City residents at the City of Victorville Recycling Drop-off Center, located at 15164 Anacapa Rd. In calendar year 2025, the City collected approximately 3,814 tires from the public through this drop-off program. Funds will also be used to advertise and promote proper tire disposal options.

The grant funds will be used to supplement other resources available under the Solid Waste and Landfill Mitigation budgets. The grant expenditure plan calls for $19,740 for contract services to pay for tire hauling and disposal and $2,961 for advertising.

Staff remains available for any questions the Council may have. 4 7

Introduction
The Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) administers the Local Government Waste Tire Amnesty Grant Program. These Procedures and Requirements describe project and reporting requirements, report due dates, report contents, grant payment conditions, eligible and ineligible project costs, project completion and closeout procedures, and records and audit requirements.

In a Regional Grant, the term “grantee” used throughout this document refers to the Lead Participant (Lead). The Lead is designated to act on behalf of all Non-Lead Participant(s). In a Regional, the Lead manages the grant, is responsible for the performance of the grant and all required documentation and administers the grant funds to its Non-Lead Participants on its behalf.

This document is attached to, and incorporated by reference, into the Grant Agreement.

Grants Management System (GMS)
GMS is CalRecycle’s web-based grant application and Grants Management System.

Access to GMS is secure; grantees must log in using a WebPass. WebPass accounts are tied to a specific email address. If an email address changes, or if it becomes inactive, the grantee must create a new WebPass account to continue accessing GMS.

Establish or manage a WebPass at CalRecycle’s WebPass page (https://secure.calrecycle.ca.gov/WebPass/).

Accessing the Grant
Grantees must log in to GMS (https://secure.calrecycle.ca.gov/Grants) using their WebPass. After logging in, locate the grant in the My Awarded/Open Grants table and select the Grant Management link. The Grant Management Module includes the following sections:
• Summary tab: Shows approved budget, paid and remaining amounts. (This section is available to the grantee in read-only mode.) • Payment Request tab: Grantee requests reimbursement.
• Reports tab: Grantee uploads required reports.
• Documents tab: Grantee uploads all other grant documents that are not supporting documents to a payment request or a report. This section also provides access to documents that were uploaded within other sections of GMS. • Sites tab: Shows amnesty event locations.

Waste & Used Tire Hauler and End Use and Disposal
Facilities
CalRecycle has specific requirements for the tracking of used and waste tires remediated with grant funds. To be reimbursed for the cost of tire collection, Grantees and their contractors must use a waste/used tire hauler that is registered with CalRecycle, unless it is exempt pursuant to Public Resources Code section 42954.

Furthermore, the tires must be transported to a facility that is permitted, excluded, exempted, or otherwise authorized by CalRecycle, by statute, or by regulation, to accept waste and used tires, or to a facility that lawfully accepts waste and used tires for reuse or disposal.

Procedures and Requirements
Local Government Waste Tire Amnesty Grant Program, TA8 (FY 2025–26) 6

When planning for an amnesty event, the Grantee shall contact the CalRecycle Tire Management Program Hotline at (866) 896-0600 (toll free) to verify that the used tire hauler (tire hauler) and end use facility (facility) it intends to use are in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. The name and address of the tire hauler and the facility are necessary for verification.

A Tire Program Identification (TPID) Number will need to be obtained, by calling the Hotline number listed above for each amnesty event location.

Waste Tire Hauling Limits
The Grantee must comply with the hauling and manifest requirements set forth in Title 14, California Code of Regulations, sections 18461(b)(2) and (3). For purposes of amnesty events, these regulations provide that:
• The Grantee may accept up to 9 waste tires at amnesty events from individuals who are not registered waste tire haulers.
• The Grantee may accept 10-20 waste tires if the individual has a waiver from the Local Enforcement Agency (LEA).
o If the individual does not have a waiver from the LEA to haul more than 9 tires, the Grantee may accept the tires, but must report this information on the Unregistered Hauler & Comprehensive Trip Log Substitution Form (Unregistered Hauler Trip Log) (CalRecycle 204) and submit the form to CalRecycle within 30 days of acceptance of the tires.
o If the Grantee accepts more than 20 waste tires from an individual, the Grantee must report this information on the Unregistered Hauler Trip Log and submit the form to CalRecycle within 30 days of acceptance of the tires.
o The Unregistered Hauler Trip Logs should be sent to the following:

By mail: CalRecycle, Tire Hauler Compliance Unit, 10
th Floor
P.O. Box 4025
Sacramento, CA 95812
Email: [email protected]
Fax: (916) 319-7605
• The Grantee may also accept waste tires from farmers and small businesses that generated the tires in the normal course of operations and are not a tire changing business. Grantee must provide a manifest to this type of customer.

In addition, Senate Bill 230 (Cogdill, Chapter 41, Statutes of 2009) sets forth the following additional requirements:
• Any person transporting waste or used tires that were illegally dumped onto their property to an amnesty event must have written authorization from the LEA, which includes, dates and documentation that a police report has been filed for the illegally dumped tires.

Maximum Tires Per Individual
An individual should be limited to a maximum of 40 tires per amnesty event, or 40 tires per month if a permanent location.

Meeting of: June 16, 2026
Submitted By:

Andre de Bortnowsky, City Attorney

Subject:

Citation Settlement Agreement between City of Victorville, Shuyun Liang, and Jiefeng Liang
Recommendation:

That the Honorable City Council:
(1) Approve the Citation Settlement Agreement by and between Shuyun and Jiefeng Liang and the City of Victorville in regard to Citation Number’s CE45404 and 28413.
(2) Authorize the City Manager to execute the Settlement Agreement.

Fiscal Impact:

The City will recover the sum of $44,020.00 in fines on the citations. This amount is allocated to the account as reflected below:

Account No. Description Amount
1004030-47140 Code Compliance – Admin Citations $44,020.00 Background:

On December 17, 2019, the City of Victorville (“City”) adopted Ordinance No. 2400 amending the Victorville Municipal Code (“VMC”) to include section 13.150.060. VMC section 13.150.060 became effective on January 1, 2020, and provides an administrative citation and fine structure for excess cannabis cultivation within the City limits. The State of California allows for the cultivation of up to six (6) cannabis plants at a residential property. VMC section 13.150.060(c) prohibits cultivation of cannabis in excess of six (6) allowable cannabis plants.

In recent history, the City’s Police and Code Compliance Departments have encountered excess cannabis cultivation operations inside residential homes. A typical excess cannabis cultivation within the City has ranged from approximately 200 to 2,000 cannabis 4 7
1 1
plants being cultivated inside a residential home. These excess cannabis cultivation operations result in substantial damage to the interior of the home. Although the prohibition of excess cannabis cultivation applies to commercial properties within City limits as well as homes, the majority of these types of illegal cannabis cultivation operations occur inside residential properties.

The City’s Police and Code Compliance Departments investigate excess cannabis cultivation operations. These departments issue citations to the property owner or responsible party. The City’s Building Department, along with the Police and Code Compliance Departments, work to secure the residence, record building and safety violations present at the property that are the result of the excess cannabis cultivation, stabilize the utilities, and remove the cannabis from the home. The City incurs abatement costs related to the work completed by City departments stemming from the cannabis removal and securing the residential or commercial structure.

The administrative citation and fine process defined in VMC section 13.150.060 is one way the City combats excessive cannabis cultivations within its City limits. Enforcement of the City’s excess cannabis cultivation ordinance is intended to protect the health, welfare, and safety of the City’s residents from the public nuisance conditions associated with these properties.

Discussion:

Shuyun and Jiefeng Liang own property in the City of Victorville at 15091 Lofton Avenue (“Property”). An excess cannabis cultivation operation was found inside the Property in May of 2024. The City issued citation numbers CE45404 and 28413 for the violation of VMC Section 13.150.060(c). The City’s Code Compliance, Police, and Building Departments abated the cannabis and addressed dangerous conditions present at the Property.

Pursuant to the authority given by the City Council to the City Attorney to waive the penalties and offer a discount on the base fine amount, Shuyun and Jiefeng Liang have accepted the terms of the Settlement Agreement wherein they will pay to the City the sum of $44,020.00 and the City will waive the penalties, interests or other fees that have accrued since the issuance of the Citation. Shuyun and Jiefeng Liang will be required to obtain a City of Victorville building permit and promptly repair the Property.

As the attached Citation Settlement Agreement is consistent with the authority previously given to the City Attorney by the City Council, Staff and the City Attorney’s Office respectfully recommend that the City Council approve the agreement and authorize the City Manager to execute same.
