Engineer’s Report
Landscape & Lighting Assessment District 18-05
Willow Springs
Fiscal Year 2025-2026
General Description
This Assessment District (18-05, Willow Springs) is located south of Walnut Avenue and east of Santa Fe Street . Exhibit “A” is a map of Assessment District 18 -05. This District includes maintenance of shrub area, irrigation systems, street trees, landscape trees, block walls, street lights, pavement on local streets, and any other applicable equipment or improvements. The maintenance of irrigation systems and block wall includes, but is not limited to, maintaining the structural and operational integrity of these features and repairing and acts of vandalism (graffiti, theft or damage) that may occur. This District includes the preventative maintenance of all internal local City streets by means including, but not limited to, overlays, c ape seals, crack seals, and reclamite (oiling). The total number lots within the district are 166 lots.
Determination of Benefit
The purpose of landscaping is to provide an aesthetic impression for the area. The lighting is to provide safety and visual impressions for the area. The block wall provides security, aesthetics, and sound suppression. The maintenance of any landscape areas, street lights, streets, and block walls is vital for the protection of both economic and humanistic values of the development.
In order to preserve the values incorporated within developments and to concurrently have an adequate funding source for the maintenance of all internal local streets within the subdivision, the City Council has determined that landscape areas, street lights, block walls, street trees, and all internal local streets should be included in a maintenance district to ensure satisfactory levels of maintenance.
Method of Apportionment
In order to provide an equitable assessment to all owners within the District, the following method of apportionment has been used. All lots in the District benefit equally, including lots not adjacent to landscape areas, block walls, and street lights. The lots not adjacent to landscape areas, block walls, and street lights benefit by the uniform maintenance and overall appearance of the District.
All lots in the District have frontage on an internal local street and therefore derive a direct benefit from the maintenance of the local streets.
Estimated Costs
The estimated costs to maintain the District includes the costs to maintain any landscaping, street trees, landscape trees, street lights, block walls, and pavement on local streets. The regular preventive maintenance of pavement on local streets is based on the following schedule:
Reclamite on a 6 year cycle, Crack Seal on an 8 yea r cycle; Cape Seal on a 15 year cycle and Overlays on a 20 year cycle.

The quantities, estimated costs and per lot assessment in the “Willow Springs” landscape and Lighting district are as follows:
Description Unit Amount Cost per unit Total Cost
Turf Area Sq. Ft. 0 $0.120 $0.00
Shrub Area Sq. Ft. 120,414 $0.120 $14,449.68

TOTAL $76,190.22
10% Reserve Fund $7,619.02
GRAND TOTAL $83,809.24
NUMBER OF LOTS 166
ANNUAL PER LOT ASSESSMENT $504.87
Annual Cost Increase
This assessment district shall be subject to an automatic annual increase derived by the following formula:
year “n” assessment = ($83,809.24) (1.05)
(n-1)
where “n” equals the age of the assessment district with year one (1) being the year that the assessment district was formed;
However, in no case shall the assessment be greater than 1) The actual cost of providing the benefit conferred to each parcel plus any prior years’ deficit and less any carryover, as determined annually or; 2) a 10% increase over the prior year’s assessment.
Exhibit “D”
Engineer’s Report
Landscape & Lighting Assessment District 18-05
Willow Springs
Fiscal Year 2025-2026
The reserve fund shall be replenished as necessary to maintain a level of 10% of the estimated maintenance cost so long as the annual assessment change does not exceed the limits identified above.
Example 1) The year four estimated costs are $ 91,352.07 [a 9% increase over the base year assessment of $83,809.24]. The ceiling on the assessment increase for year four would be $97,019.67 [ceiling = ($83,809.24) (1.05)
(4-1)
]. The assessment would be
set at $91,352.07 or the actual cost of providing the maintenance effort.
Example 2) The year four assessment is estimated at the actual cost of providing the maintenance effort of $ 94,704.44 [a 7% increase over the previous year assessment and a 13.0% increase over the base year assessment]. The ceiling on the assessment increase for year four would be $97,019.67 [ceiling = ($83,809.24) (1.05)
(4-1)
]. The assessment would be set at $ 94,704.44 or the actual cost of providing the maintenance effort because it is less than the ceiling amount and the year-to-year increase is less than the 10% cap on increases in any given year.
Example 3) The year four assessment is $ 91,352.07 [a 9% increase over the base year assessment $83,809.24] and damage occurred to the masonry wall raising the year five assessment to $ 111,449.53 [a 22% increase over the previous year assessment]. The year five assessment will be capped at $ 100,487.28, a 10% increase over the previous year and under the ceiling of $101,870.66 [ceiling = ($83,809.24) (1.05)
(5-1)
]. The difference of $9,578.87 will be recognized as a deficit and carried over into future years’ assessment.
