3 OVERVIEW
Introduction
The Mello-Roos Act, California Government Code Section 53311 et seq., authorizes the City to establish a CFD to finance certain public services through the levy of a special tax.

The services that can be financed by a CFD under the Mello-Roos Act include the following:
• Police protection services, including, but not limited to, criminal justice (limited to providing services for jails, detention facilities, and juvenile halls). • Public Safety as it relates to code enforcement.
• Fire protection and suppression services, ambulance and paramedic services. • Maintenance and lighting of parks, parkways, streets, roads, and open spaces. • Flood and storm protection services, including, but not limited to, the operation and maintenance of storm drainage systems, plowing and removal of snow, and sandstorm protection systems.
• Services with respect to removal or remedial action for the cleanup of any hazardous substance released or threatened to be released into the environment. • Operation of library and recreation programs.
• Operation of future museums and cultural facilities.
• Maintenance and operation of any real property or other tangible property with an estimated useful life of five or more years that is owned by the local agency or by another local agency (by agreement).

History
On December 17, 2024, the Victorville City Council (Council) adopted Resolution No. 24- 102, requesting formation of a Municipal Service Community Facilities District (CFD) to include Special Tax A for public safety and Special Tax B for maintenance services . Council adopted Ordinance No. 2453 allowing the levy of special taxes for the Community Facilities District No. 2024-01 for Municipal Services. As part of the CFD formation, the Council also approved a city- wide annexable area.

As part of the development process, all projects are now required projects to mitigate their ongoing economic impacts that require the City to provide additional municipal services, either

4 through annexation into a citywide services CFD, or by an alternate, comparable funding mechanism.

Municipal Services Tax A and Tax B
CFD No. 2024-01 Municipal Services Special Taxes will be used to pay for eligible city services including public safety services; street and road maintenance; and the operations, maintenance and lighting of parks, parkways, streets, roads and open space and other authorized services specified in Government Code Section 53313 that the Cit y will provide to this project area.

Special Tax A will be for public safety services and Special Tax B will be for maintenance Services, referenced as the CFD Special Taxes.

Each annexation into the district will operate as its own tax zone. This is due to each tax zone having unique maintenance obligations for purposes of calculating Special Tax B.

5 ANNEXATIONS

The table below outlines each tax zone annexation, annexation date, and short project description. As future annexations occur, the list will continue to grow.

Tax Zone Project Name Annexation Date Status
1 Tract 14525 December 17, 2024 Developing
2 Raising Cane’s November 18, 2025 Built-out
4 Pollo Campero January 20, 2026 Built-out
*Tax Zones are assigned at the time of application; Tax Zone 3 is assigned to a project that has not made it to the annexation stage.

6 FINANCIALS
Pursuant to the formation of CFD 2024-01, the annual maximum special tax rates will be based on the Rate and Method of Apportionment (RMA) with an annual escalator of 5% or Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the calendar year ending in December, whichever is greater. The enrolled amount will be at Council’s discretion. The CPI for the calendar year ending in December 2025 was 3.28%.

Special Tax A – Public Safety

7 Special Tax B – Maintenance Services

8 (1) County enrollment fees are based on those listed in the FY 2025-26 Direct Charge Instructions Packet and include $187.00 per Fund Number and $0.30 per Parcel submitted to the San Bernardino County Auditor-Controller/Treasurer/Tax Collector.
(2) The collectable revenue is the total amount levied less County enrollment fees.

9 ENROLLED AMOUNTS

For the 2026-2027 tax year, staff are recommending applying the 5% escalator to both Special Tax A and Special Tax B. This is due to the rising costs of the sheriff’s contract, public safety costs, labor costs and overall maintenance costs across the Tax Zones.

The table below shows the recommended levy amounts.

Item Number: 23
City Council / Board of Directors
Written Communications
Meeting of: June 16, 2026
Submitted By:

Doug Mathews, Director of Public Works and Water

Subject:

Consideration of Resolution Nos. VWD 26-003 and VWD 26-004 - Resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Victorville Water District making its determination to Fix, Levy, and Collect Standby Charges for Water Improvement District Number One and Water Improvement District Number Two for Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Recommendation:

That the Honorable Victorville Water District Board of Directors:
(1) Approve Resolution No. VWD 26-003 authorizing the Victorville Water District to initiate proceedings to fix, levy, and collect Standby Charges for Water Improvement District One for Fiscal Year 2026-2027; (2) Approve Resolution No. VWD 26-004 authorizing the Victorville Water District to initiate proceedings to fix, levy, and collect Standby Charges for Water Improvement District Two for Fiscal Year 2026-2027; and (3) Set July 21, 2026, as the date for the Public Hearing for the purpose of hearing arguments for and against determinations to fix, levy and collect water standby charges as set forth in the aforementioned resolutions.

Fiscal Impact:

The proposed resolutions authorize the Victorville Water District (District) to have Water Improvement District Number One (WID1) and Water District Improvement District Number Two (WID2) Standby Charges for Fiscal Year 2026-2027 (Tax Roll Year 2026) assessed by the County Assessor. These charges are currently estimated to be $103,200 for WID 1 and $337,787.70 for WID 2.

The District will incur a small expense for mailing the required public hearing notices, estimated at $9,500. This expense was budgeted in the current fiscal year under the following account code 4100030-52300.

Strategic Plan Goal:

This item aligns with Goal A, “Financial Sustainability” of the City’s Strategic Plan. The revenue generated from the standby fees will be collected as a revenue stream within the District’s 410 operating budget. The collection of the standby fee assists with maintaining lower water rates.

Background:

Each year the District must take steps, in compliance with California Water Code Section 31031 et seq. and Government Code Section 6066, to levy and collect Standby Charges.

These steps include:
(1) initiating proceedings to fix, levy and collect water standby charges for the fiscal year (establishing a hearing date, etc.);
(2) notifying the general public of the public hearing with publications in the newspaper on two separate dates;
(3) mailing notices of the hearing to the affected parcel owners; and (4) conducting the public hearing.

A standby charge is an annual assessment that allows the District to recover a portion of the cost of maintaining water system facilities that are available to serve a property, regardless of whether that property is currently connected to or using water service.

These funds help support the continued operation, maintenance, and readiness of pipelines, storage tanks, wells, pumping facilities, and related infrastructure. By ensuring that all parcels benefiting from the availability of water service share in the cost of maintaining these facilities, the standby charge supports long-term financial stability, reduces the burden on active water customers, and helps keep water rates as low as possible.

Water Improvement District Number One (WID 1)
Since 1975, WID 1 (formerly known as the Victor Valley Water District) has assessed a Water Standby Charge. This charge is authorized under California Water Code Section 31031 and is limited to $10.00 per acre per year, or $10.00 per parcel for parcels less than one acre. The proposed Resolution No. VWD 26-003 initiates the process to levy this charge for Fiscal Year 2026–2027 at the same rate as the prior year. Parcels are subject to the charge when water facilities have been constructed within 660 feet of the property. Any parcels already connected to District water service, along with all governmental and public agency parcels, and easement-only parcels are exempt.

Assessment details are listed below.
Maximum allowable rate: $10.00 per acre, or $10.00 per parcel under one acre (statutory limit)
District-applied rate: $10.00 per acre, or $10.00 per parcel under one acre (unchanged from prior year)
Example assessments:
o0.2 acres = $10.00
o5.0 acres = $50.00
o5.2 acres = $60.00
4 7
5 5
Exemptions: connected parcels; governmental/public agency parcels; easements Applies to parcels within 660 feet of District-constructed water facilities Water Improvement District Number Two (WID 2)
Since 1969, WID 2 (formerly known as the Baldy Mesa Water District) has assessed a Water Standby Charge. Authorized by California Water Code Section 31032.1, the charge may be up to $30.00 per acre per year, or $30.00 per parcel for parcels under one acre.

The District continues to levy a reduced rate of $15.00 per acre, prorated for parcels larger than one acre. The proposed Resolution No. VWD 26-004 initiates the process to levy this charge for Fiscal Year 2026–2027 at the same rate as the prior year. Governmental and public agency parcels and easement-only parcels are exempt from the assessment.

Assessment details are listed below.
Maximum allowable rate: $30.00 per acre (statutory limit) District-applied rate: $15.00 per acre (unchanged from prior year) Example assessments:
o0.2 acres = $15.00
o5.0 acres = $75.00
o5.2 acres = $78.00
Exemptions: governmental/public agency parcels; easements Applies to parcels for which water facilities have been financed and constructed Discussion:

Standby Charges must be assessed each year, without interruption, in order for the District to maintain the previously established assessment rate. The proposed resolutions do not modify the existing rate or the methodology used to calculate these charges. If the District were to discontinue the Standby Charge for any year, it could not be reinstated in the future except under the procedures outlined in California Government Code Section 53753, which include additional notice, protest, and hearing requirements applicable to increased assessments under Proposition 218.

Revenues collected through the Water Standby Charge support the costs associated with infrastructure available to serve properties within each Improvement District, including the ongoing costs of operating, maintaining, repairing, and replacing system facilities, as well as debt service incurred for the financing of such infrastructure. For both Improvement Districts, these revenues offset the actual cost of maintaining water system facilities, including water mains, that provide immediate service availability to parcels. Although WID 1 and WID 2 remain separate Improvement Districts, the District operates and maintains them as a single integrated water system, with facilities and operations that benefit customers throughout both service areas.

For WID 2, annual tax revenues were previously allocated to service bond debt incurred for improvements benefiting the WID 2 service area. Because the remaining bond obligation will be paid off using existing Fund 411 resources, tax revenues collected from WID 2 beginning in FY 2026/27 will instead be used to offset system operation and maintenance costs, consistent with the treatment of tax revenues collected from WID 1. 4 7
5 5
This change does not affect the purpose of the Water Standby Charge, which continues to support water system infrastructure and service availability within each Improvement District.

The list of all parcels proposed to be levied the Standby Charge will be made available for public review both online and in person with the District Secretary. Notices will be mailed to all property owners affected by the levy in accordance with statutory requirements. A Public Hearing notice will also be published in a newspaper of general circulation to ensure broad public awareness and to provide all interested parties with the opportunity to review the proposed assessments and participate in the hearing process.

Resolution No. VWD 26-003 authorizes the District to initiate proceedings to fix, levy, and collect the Water Standby Charge for WID 1 for Fiscal Year 2026–2027, continuing the assessment at the same rate previously established. Resolution No. VWD 26-004 authorizes the same actions for WID 2 for Fiscal Year 2026–2027, likewise maintaining the existing assessment rate.

Both resolutions also establish July 21, 2026, as the date of the Public Hearing, during which the Board will receive any testimony for or against levying the standby charges before making its final determination. This hearing is required under applicable provisions of the California Water Code and Government Code to ensure transparency and provide property owners the opportunity to participate in the annual assessment process.

Attachment C
Water Code Sections 31031
through 31032.9

WATER CODE

31031.

A district may, pursuant to the notice, protest, and hearing procedures in Section 53753 of the Government Code, fix, on or before the first day of July in each calendar year, a water standby or availability charge. The water standby or availability charge shall not exceed ten dollars ($10) per acre per year for each acre of land, or ten dollars ($10) per year for each parcel of land less than an acre within the district to which water is made available for any purpose by the district, whether the water is actually used or not, unless the standby charge is imposed pursuant to the Uniform Standby Charge Procedures Act (Chapter 12.4 (commencing with Section 54984) of Part 1 of Division 2 of Title 5 of the Government Code). The board of directors of a district which fixes such a charge may establish schedules varying such charge according to the land uses and the degree of availability or quantity of use of such water to the affected lands, and may restrict such charge to lands lying within one or more improvement districts within such district. If the procedures set forth in this section as it read at the time a standby or immediate availability charge was established were followed, the board of directors may, by resolution, continue the charge in successive years at the same rate. If new, increased, or extended assessments are proposed, the board shall comply with the notice, protest, and hearing procedures in Section 53753 of the Government Code.

31032.

In case any water standby charge remains unpaid on the first day of the month before the month in which the board of supervisors of the county in which the district or any part thereof is located is required by law to levy the amount of taxes required for county purposes, a 6 percent penalty thereon shall accrue. The amount of the unpaid standby charge plus the said penalty shall be added to and become a part of the annual tax levied upon the land to which water for which the standby charge is unpaid was available and same shall constitute a lien on that land.

If a district collects taxes pursuant to Chapter 2 (commencing with Section 31700) of Part 7 of this division, the amount of tax attributable to unpaid water standby charges, and the penalty thereon, shall be stated on the tax bill separately from all other taxes.

If a district collects taxes pursuant to Chapter 3 (commencing with Section 31730) of Part 7 of this division, it shall provide each person whose property is subject to taxation for unpaid water standby charges, and the penalty thereon, with a tax bill stating the amount of such charges and penalty separately.

In such case and at least fifteen (15) days before the first day of the month in which said board of supervisors is required by law to levy the amount of taxes required for county purposes, the board of directors of the district shall furnish in writing to the board of supervisors and to the county auditor, respectively, a description of each and every parcel of land within the district upon which a standby charge remains unpaid, together with the amount of said unpaid charge plus said penalty on each said parcel of land. Whenever land in two or more counties is included in a district, the board of directors of the district shall furnish in writing to the board of supervisors and to the county auditor of each of said counties, respectively, a description of each and every parcel within said county upon which a standby charge remains unpaid, together with the amount of said unpaid standby charge plus penalty thereon.

31032.1.

A district may, pursuant to the notice, protest, and hearing procedures in Section 53753 of the Government Code, fix, as an alternative to the charge prescribed by Section 31031, in each fiscal year, water standby or availability assessments of not to exceed thirty dollars ($30) per acre per year for each acre of land, or thirty dollars ($30) per year for each parcel of land less than an acre within the district to which water is made available for any purpose by the district, whether the water is actually used or not, unless the standby charge is imposed pursuant to the Uniform Standby Charge Procedures Act (Chapter 12.4 (commencing with Section 54984) of Part 1 of Division 2 of Title 5 of the Government Code). The board of directors of a district that fixes the assessment may establish schedules varying the assessment according to the land uses and the degree of availability or quantity of use of water to the affected lands, and may restrict the assessment to lands lying within one or more improvement districts within the district. If the procedures set forth in this section as it read at the time a standby charge was established were followed, the board of directors may, by resolution, continue the charge pursuant to this section in successive years at the same rate. If new, increased, or extended assessments are proposed, the board shall comply with the notice, protest, and hearing procedures in Section 53753 of the Government Code.

A district may elect to have the assessments for the fiscal year collected on the tax roll in the same manner, by the same persons and at the same time as, together with and not separately from, its general taxes. In that event, it shall cause a written report to be prepared and filed with the secretary which report shall contain a description of each parcel of real property and the amount of the assessment for each parcel for the year.

31032.2.

The secretary shall cause notice of the filing of the report and of a time and place of hearing thereon to be published, pursuant to Section 6066 of the Government Code, prior to the date set for hearing, in a newspaper of general circulation printed and published within the district, if there is one and if not then in such paper printed and published in the county, and shall cause a notice in writing of the filing of the report to be mailed to each person to whom any parcel or parcels of real property described in such report is assessed in the last equalized assessment roll available on the date the report is prepared, at the address shown on the assessment roll or as known to the secretary.

31032.3.

At the time stated in the notice, the board shall hear and consider all objections or protests, if any, to the report referred to in the notice and may continue the hearing from time to time. Upon the conclusion of the hearing, the board may adopt, revise, change, reduce or modify an assessment or overrule any or all objections. The board shall make its determination upon each assessment as described in the report which determination shall be final. The board may make appropriate adjustments that may be necessary as a result of the equalization of the assessment roll subsequent to the filing of the report.

31032.4.

On or before the 10th day of August of each year following such final determination, the secretary shall file with the county auditor a copy of the report with a statement endorsed thereon over his signature that it has been finally adopted by the board and the auditor shall enter the amounts of the assessment against the respective lots or parcels of land as they appear on the current assessment roll. If a district collects taxes pursuant to Chapter 3 (commencing with Section 31730), Part 7 of this division, the secretary shall file the report with the collector.

31032.5.

The amount of the assessments shall constitute a lien against the lot or parcel of land against which the assessment has been imposed as of noon on the first Monday in March immediately preceding the date of levy.

31032.6.

Strategic Plan Goal:

The requested budget amendment supports the City of Victorville Strategic Plan 2023- 2026, in relation to Goal A (Financial Sustainability) through adhering to disciplined fiscal management processes and best practices and Goal B (Public Safety), through the application of our City codes and regulations to support thriving, appealing and well maintained residential and commercial areas.

Background:

On June 3, 2025, the City Council approved the Fiscal Year 2025/2026 budget, which included expenses and anticipated revenues. The revenue projections are based on the expected department operations and expected user fee collection. The Code Compliance Department has collected revenues stemming from various offered Animal Services and Code Compliance services and compliance actions that have exceed the projected revenue allocation for Fiscal Year 2025/2026. In accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), and following guidance from the City’s Finance Department, a budget amendment is required when actual revenues exceed the projected revenues during a fiscal year.

Discussion:

The Code Compliance Department consists of the Code Compliance and Animal Services Divisions. Both divisions respond to various public nuisances and provide services to our residents at a fee that adheres to the City’s User Fee Schedule, updated and adopted by the City Council on December 16, 2025, and effective as of January 1, 2026.

The revenues collected are related to the efforts put forward by City Compliance and Animal Control Officers to improve community appeal and respond to animal welfare concerns. The select revenues consist of:
Towed Vehicle Fee: Fees assessed to the vehicle registered owner to recover a towed vehicle.
Code Compliance Cost Recovery: Fees assessed to recover compliance expenses, assessed after the provided compliance period has passed. Code Compliance Administrative Fines: Fines issued for Victorville Municipal Code violations as specified by ordinance.
Animal License: Fees related to the licensing of vaccinated animals residing within the City of Victorville.
Animal Permit: Fees related to the licensing and inspection of animal related businesses, such as stationary and mobile pet groomers, veterinarians or pet shops.
Animal License Late Fee: Assessed fees for late animal licensing. Animal Services Cost Recovery: Fees assessed to recover Animal Services compliance expenses, assessed after the provided compliance period has passed. Animal Services Owner Turn-in Fee: Fees assessed to a pet owner seeking to relinquish, release, or surrender their pet to the Animal Services Division. 4 7
6 4
Animal Services Sterility Vouchers: Fees related to animal licensing of unaltered animals and support pet spay and neuter services.

Therefore, staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 26-053, approving a budget amendment for Fiscal Year 2025/2026, updating the projected revenues for the Code Compliance Department.

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

Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Training - Travel Schedule for City Council Members Recommendation:

That Your Honorable City Council direct staff which business events Council will attend during Fiscal Year 2026-2027 to allow sufficient time for registration and travel accommodations.

Fiscal Impact:

Unknown at this time, and dependent upon registration fees and travel costs. City Council training and education and travel and meetings expense accounts 1001220-52140 and 1001220-52150 have a budgeted amount of $62,500 and $31,132 respectively for Fiscal Year 2026-2027.

Strategic Plan Goal:

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

Discussion:

At the February 28, 2023, Governance Team Relations Workshop, Baker Tilly discussed the importance of continued training for Council Members. Pursuant to City Council Policy and Procedures Manual, Chapter 8 Section IV(C) "Prior to making travel, transportation, and/or lodging arrangements for any Event for which a Councilmember wishes to be reimbursed by the City, the Councilmember should seek to have the Event and the expenditure approved except as provided below. Requests for travel and meeting expense reimbursements or City- paid travel and meetings for any Event(s) will require the advance approval of the City Council at a regularly scheduled Council Meeting under an agendized item requesting such approval." 3 1

This item is being presented to establish a list of approved business events the Council desires to attend during Fiscal Year 2026-2027. Council approval of business travel in advance will provide staff the flexibility and time to research the best prices for travel accommodations for all interested Council Members, as soon as registration and hotel blocks are announced, and ensure space availability as some events meet capacity quickly.

Subject:

Analysis and Feasibility of a 5k Run Event
Recommendation:

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

Fiscal Impact:

If the Honorable City Council approves the addition of a 5K Run event, an additional appropriation of $76,000 is necessary as this is not a budgeted event.

Strategic Plan Goal:

This item aligns with Strategic Goal F, Communication and Outreach, by exploring the opportunity to add a 5K Run event to community events and activities.

Background:

At the City Council meeting of January 20, 2026, it was moved by Mayor Pro Tem Harriman and unanimously approved to visit the feasibility of adding a community 5K Run event.

The City currently provides 14 annual community events as listed in the following table.

This table does not include many one-time community events such as the Route 66 100th Anniversary, America’s 250th Anniversary, the Fire Department Centennial, as well as many events in which Community Services play an integral role in logistics, setup, and takedown. Additionally, the National Recreation & Parks Association Conference is included in the table because, although it is not a community event, the annual conference provides recreation staff with the opportunity to stay current on programs, features, and activities that can be offered to the community and as such deems recreation staff unavailable to host an event in September.

Discussion:

The Recreation Division periodically evaluates opportunities to expand community programming and special events. When considering the development of a new program, service, event, or activity, staff typically follow a structured process. This process includes conducting an environmental scan to gather the needs and desires of the community. If a service gap is identified, a partnership is researched to not duplicate efforts and bifurcate resources. If a viable partnership is not available, staff then formulate an action plan with a budget (equipment, consumables, facility maintenance, personnel, and contract services) and a staffing plan to directly address and sustain the identified need.

Community Services has not received resident inquiries, requests, or recurring public comments seeking a City-sponsored 5K Run event. As part of this evaluation, staff reviewed existing race offerings in Victorville and neighboring cities as indicated in the following table. The evidence does not support an unmet community need for a 5K Run event. It is also important to note that the City previously provided a run prior to the Veterans Day event and the run was very limited in attendance (approximately 24-30 runners) as such, the run was discontinued in 2024.

8 2
Month Event Event
April Apple Valley Community Run
June Apple Valley Community Run The Praise Run
August Kiwanis Dream Big 5K Run
September Hesperia Days Run
October Hesperia Run with the Law
November Apple Valley Community Run
Collectively, these events provide multiple opportunities for residents to participate in organized races across various seasons and locations.

If the City were to pursue adding a 5K Run event, considerations for budget, personnel, and the event month would need review. The estimated fiscal impact for a 5K Run event is $76,000 to include restroom rentals, security, sound services, marketing, personnel, and $60,000 for professional services of 5K Run Coordinator which includes the timing, coordination of road closures, setup (barricades, signs, banners, start/finish lines), day of event management, awards, medals, t-shirts, tents, chairs, nutrition, and take-down. The date of such an event is also critical to avoid community competition with other long- standing events. Current months unoccupied with a run are January, February, March, May, July, and December. Of those months, the City already provides a community event in January, July, and December; providing potential scheduling opportunity in February or May.

Hiring a professional 5K Run Coordinator is essential to the success of this event. The Run Coordinator provides specialized expertise necessary to plan, coordinate, and execute a successful 5K Run event, as the current recreation staff have limited experience with large-scale race development and management. Additionally, the implementation of a successful 5K Run event would place additional strain on the existing personnel resources, with a potential impact on service levels for current programs.

Based on the current analysis, staff finds:

1. Recreation has not received public inquiries or requests for a City-sponsored 5K Run event.

2. Existing community organizations and neighboring agencies currently provide 5K Run events that meet the needs of the community.

3. Recreation and facilities staffing presently operate at full capacity managing an extensive annual event calendar.

4. The cost-per-participant value of a new City-sponsored 5K Run event may be less favorable than continued investment in established events that serve a broader segment of the community.

Therefore, it is staff's recommendation to continue collaborating with the Kiwanis Club of Victorville on their established Dream Big 5K event. City staff currently participate in and support the Dream Big 5K, and several staff members are active members of the Kiwanis 4 7
8 2
Club. This existing partnership allows the City to support a successful community race event without duplicating services or resources already available within the community.

Staff remains available for any questions or comments.
