' ❑ EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A. INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this Engineer's Report (hereinafter referred to as the "Report) is to set forth
the engineering analysis and findings for the levy of assessments in the City of Palm
Springs (hereinafter referred to as the "City') Parkway Maintenance District No.6C
(hereinafter referred to as the "District"), for fiscal year 2004-05, in compliance with the
requirements of Chapter 3, of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 (hereinafter referred
to as the "1972 Act") which is part 2, Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways
Code and as provided by Article XIII D of the California Constitution (hereinafter referred to
as "Article XIII D"). This District was formed to supplement certain City revenues and help
finance the costs of providing for parkway maintenance within the District's boundaries.
This report is prepared for the levy and collection of annual assessments for District for fiscal
year 2004-05.
The City initiates proceedings for annual levying of assessments within the District by
passing a resolution, which states that the District was established under the Act. This
resolution also describes the improvements, describes the name and location of the District,
and preliminarily approves the Engineer's Report.
' The report prepared by the engineer must include an estimate of the costs of the
improvements, a diagram, i.e., map of the District showing the boundary of the District and
an assessment of the estimated costs of the improvements against the parcels or lots which
benefit from the improvements. Once the report is completed it is presented to the City
Council for its review and approval as presented, or it may be modified and approved.
After the report is approved, the City Council may adopt a Resolution of Intention, which
declares its intent to levy and collect assessments, describes the improvements, and refers
to the report for details of the District. The Resolution of Intention also sets a time and place
for a hearing on the proposed assessments.
In addition to the Act, in accordance with Article XIII D, any new or increased assessments
must be approved by Assessment Ballots mailed to the property owners of the parcels
assessed no later than 45 days prior to the public hearing. Approval will be determined by
weighing the ballots according to the proportional obligation of the affected property in the
district.
At the time of the public hearing, Assessment Ballots will be tallied and this information will
be combined with the Engineer's Report for the District for approval prior to submitting
assessments to the County Auditor/Controller.
B. OVERVIEW
The District described in this report contains parcels of land within the residential tract
' commonly referred to as Park Sonora Tract (El Cielo Road, Sonora Road, Loma Vista
Circle, San Martin Circle).
The City proposes to annually levy and collect special assessments to continue the
maintenance of the improvements within the proposed District. Assessments within the
District are proposed to be levied annually, pursuant to the Landscape and L httin/g Act of
I vs - - -
City of Palm Springs, Parkway Maintenance District No. 6C—Engineer's Report Page 1
City of Palm Springs—Engineer's Report
Parkway Maintenance District No. 6C, Park Sonora Tract
1972, Part 2 of Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code (the "1972 Act") and '
in compliance with the substantive and procedural requirements of the California State
Constitution Article XIIIC and XIIID ("Proposition 218").
The assessments described in this Engineer's Report (hereinafter referred to as the
"Report") shall be levied upon each parcel within the boundaries of the District and
assessments shall be proportional to the special benefit received from the maintenance of
the improvements. For the District, a benefit assessment rate per parcel is established
based upon estimated and actual operations and maintenance costs for the year. This
establishes the maximum approved benefit assessment rate ("Maximum Rate') for the
current year. Commencing with fiscal year 2005-06, and then each subsequent year, the
maximum assessment rate is proposed to be increased based upon the Consumer Price
Index, All Urban Consumers, for the Los Angeles-Orange-Riverside County Area ("CPI"), as
determined by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, or its
successor. The Engineer shall compute the percentage difference between the CPI for
February of each year and the CPI for the previous February, and shall then adjust the
maximum existing assessment by an amount not to exceed such percentage for the
following fiscal year. Should the Bureau of Labor Statistics revise such index or discontinue
the preparation of such index, the Engineer shall use the revised index or a comparable
system as approved by the City Council for determining fluctuations in the cost of living.
This Report describes the District and the proposed assessments for fiscal year 2004-05.
The annual budget for the maintenance and operation of the improvements is based on
estimated expenses for the upcoming fiscal year.
The word "parcel," for the purposes of this Report, refers to an individual property assigned '
its own Assessment Parcel Number by the Riverside County ("County") Assessor's Office.
The Riverside County Auditor/Controller uses Assessment Parcel Numbers and specific
Fund Numbers to identify on the tax roll properties assessed for special district benefit
assessments.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DISTRICT

Landscaping Improvements
The parkway improvements may include, but are not limited to, all landscaping material and
facilities within the District. These improvements include ground cover, shrubs, trees, plants,
irrigation and drainage systems, ornamental lighting structures and associated appurtenant
facilities located within the District:
❑ METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT '
A. GENERAL
The 1972 Act permits the establishment of assessment districts by agencies for the purpose
of providing certain public improvements, which include the construction, maintenance, and
servicing of public lights, landscaping, parks, open space areas and appurtenant facilities.
The 1972 Act further requires that the cost of these improvements be levied according to
benefit rather than assessed value:
"The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district or District
may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount
among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be
received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements."
The formula used for calculating assessments reflects the composition of the parcels and
the improvements and services provided within the District to fairly apportion the costs
based on estimated benefit to each parcel.
In addition, Article XIII D requires that a parcel's assessment may not exceed the
reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel. Article XIII D
provides that only special benefits are assessable and the City must separate the general
benefits from the special benefits.
B. BENEFIT ANALYSIS '
All improvements associated with this District have been identified as necessary, required
and/or desired for the properties within the District to their full potential, consistent with the
development plans. As such, these improvements would be necessary and required of
individual property owners for the development of such properties, and the ongoing
operation, servicing and maintenance of these improvements would be the financial
City of Palm Springs, Parkway Maintenance District No. 6C-Engineer's Report I V 4r V974
City of Palm Springs—Engineer's Report
Parkway Maintenance District No. 6C, Park Sonora Tract
' obligation of those properties. Therefore, the improvements and the annual costs of
maintenance and operation of the improvements are of direct and special benefit to the
properties.
The method of apportionment (method of assessment) is based on the premise that each
assessed parcel within the District receives benefit from the improvements.
The special benefits associated with the parkway improvements are specifically:
• Enhanced desirability of properties through association with the improvements;
• Improved aesthetic appeal of properties providing a positive representation of the area;
• Enhanced adaptation of the urban environment within the natural environment from
adequate green space, open space areas and landscaping;
Environmental enhancement through improved erosion resistance, dust and debris
control, and fire prevention;
• Increased sense of pride in ownership of property within the District resulting from well-
maintained improvements associated with the properties; and
• Enhanced environmental quality of the parcels by moderating temperatures, providing
oxygenation and attenuating noise.
All of the preceding special benefits contribute to a specific enhancement and desirability of
each of the assessed parcels within the District. Although the improvements may include
landscaping improvements and other amenities available or visible to the public at large, the
maintenance of these improvements is only necessary for the properties within the District
and are not required nor necessarily desired by any properties or developments outside the
District boundary. Therefore, any public access or use of the improvements by others is
incidental and there is no measurable general benefit to properties outside the District or to
the public at large.
C. ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY
The method of apportionment for the District calculates the receipt of special benefit from
the respective improvements based on the actual land use of the parcels within the District.
The special benefit received by each lot or parcel is equated to the overall land use of the
parcel based on the parcel's actual land use or proposed planned development, and is
reliant upon the special benefit received from the improvements planned within the District.
To identify and determine the special benefit to be received by each parcel, it is necessary
to consider the entire scope of the District improvements as well as individual property
development within the District. The costs associated with the improvements shall be fairly
distributed among the parcels based upon the special benefit received by each parcel.
The maintenance and operation of the landscaping improvements provides special benefit
to all parcels within the District adjacent to the improvements. Therefore, 100% of the costs
will be apportioned to each parcel on a single-family residential unit basis. All lots are
assessed the same amount as each is a single-family lot and receives equivalent benefit.
D. ASSESSMENT RANGE FORMULA
Any new or increased assessment requires certain noticing and meeting requirements by
law. Prior to the passage of Proposition 218 (California Constitution Articles XIIIC and XIIID),
legislative changes in the Brown Act defined a "new or increased assessment" to exclude
certain conditions. These conditions included "any assessment that does not exceed an
assessment formula or range of assessments previously adopted by the agency or
1 t/ A am
City of Palm Springs, Parkway Maintenance District No. 6C—Engineer's Report
City of Palm Springs—Engineer's Report
Parkway Maintenance District No. 6C, Park Sonora Tract
approved by the voters in the area where the assessment is imposed." This definition and I
conditions were later confirmed through Senate Bill 919 (Proposition 218 implementing
legislation).
The purpose of establishing an Assessment Range Formula is to provide for reasonable
increases and inflationary adjustment to annual assessments without requiring costly
noticing and mailing procedures, which could add to the District costs and assessments.
This District provides for an annual adjustment to the Maximum Assessment Rate based
upon the Consumer Price Index for the Los Angeles-Orange-Riverside County Area.
The Assessment Range Formula shall be applied to all future assessments within the
District. Generally, if the proposed annual assessment for the current fiscal year is less than
or equal to the calculated Maximum Assessment, then the proposed annual assessment is
not considered an increased assessment. The Maximum Assessment is equal to the initial
Assessment (approved by property owners within the District) adjusted annually based upon
the Consumer Price Index.
Beginning in the second fiscal year (fiscal year 2005-06) and each fiscal year thereafter, the
Maximum Assessment would be recalculated and a new Maximum Assessment established
within the District.
The Maximum Assessment is adjusted annually and is calculated independent of the
District's annual budget and proposed annual assessment. Any proposed annual
assessment less than or equal to this Maximum Assessment is not considered an increased
assessment, even if the proposed assessment is greater than the assessment applied in the
prior fiscal year.
Although the Maximum Assessment will increase each year, the actual assessment may
remain unchanged. The Maximum Assessment adjustment is designed to establish a
reasonable limit on assessments. The Maximum Assessment calculated each year does not
require or facilitate an increase to the annual assessment and neither does it restrict
assessments to the adjustment maximum amount. If the budget and assessment for the
fiscal year do not require an increase, or the increase is less than the adjusted Maximum
Assessment, then the required budget and assessment may be applied without additional
property owner balloting. If the budget and assessments calculated requires an increase
greater than the adjusted Maximum Assessment, then the assessment is considered an
increased assessment and would be subject to balloting.
o DISTRICT BUDGET
A. DESCRIPTION OF BUDGET ITEMS
For the purpose of estimating costs for the maintenance and servicing, actual costs are
used where possible. But where actual maintenance experience is lacking, cost estimates
will be used to determine costs, as follows:
Parkway maintenance: Includes maintenance labor, materials and equipment required to
properly maintain the authorized improvements and services within the District.
Water costs: The cost of irrigation water for the landscape to be maintained is based upon
actual Desert Water Agency billings on public landscaped areas being maintained within the
District.
1t 491
City of Palm Springs, Parkway Maintenance District No. 6C—Engineer's Report Page 6
City of Palm Springs—Engineer's Report
Parkway Maintenance District No. 6C, Park Sonora Tract
' Electrical energy costs: Energy costs included are those necessary for the operation of irrigation
controls.
Ornamental lighting maintenance: Includes maintenance labor and materials required to
properly maintain the improvements within the District.
Incidental costs: Costs for special items, such as costs of levying the assessments with the
County Tax Collector, anticipated utility rate hikes, or other such costs, are determined
individually.
Another Incidental Cost is the expense of Assessment Engineering services. This includes
costs of performing annual assessment engineering, determining existing or estimated costs,
retaining of consultants, preparation of the Engineer's Report, and other related costs, such as
publication of notices, mailings, etc.
Another Incidental Cost is the County Assessor-Tax Collector's charge of $25 per County
assessment account plus $0.20 per levied parcel, to place the assessments on the tax rolls.
This charge will be distributed between the benefit Districts.
Consumer Price Index Adjustment: Commencing with fiscal year 2005/2006, and then each
subsequent year, the maximum assessment rate is proposed to be increased based upon the
Consumer Price Index, All Urban Consumers, for the Los Angeles-Orange-Riverside County
Area '"CPI"', as determined by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor
Statistics, or its successor. The Engineer shall compute the percentage difference between the
CPI for February of each year and the CPI for the previous February, and shall then adjust the
maximum existing assessment by an amount not to exceed such percentage for the following
fiscal year. Should the Bureau of Labor Statistics revise such index or discontinue the
preparation of such index, the Engineer shall use the revised index or a comparable system as
approved by the City Council for determining fluctuations in the cost of living.
Miscellaneous:All cost estimates shall be rounded to the nearest dollar, except where specified
differently above. The total amount to be levied on any parcel will be rounded to an even
number to accommodate collection on the property tax bill in two equal installments.
