The Engineer's Reports have been filed with the City Clerk and are available for public review. In accordance with the Streets and Highways Code of the state of California, it is necessary for the City Council to conduct a Public Hearing, take public testimony, and in the absence of a majority protest to the special assessments, the City Council can approve the levy and collection of special assessments for the various Special Districts for the 2017/2018 fiscal year. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: Section 15061 (b)(3) of the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") Guidelines exempts activities that are covered under the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects that have the potential to cause significant effects on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility the activity in question may have a significant effect upon the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. The requested action requests the City Council to consider ordering the levy and collection of assessments associated with various Special Districts, which itself will not result in any new direct physical impacts to the environment. Therefore, the requested action is considered exempt from CEQA. FISCAL IMPACT: Approval of this action is the final annual step to continue levying special assessments in the City's Street Lighting and Parkway Maintenance Districts. In accordance with the Engineer's Reports prepared for each Maintenance District, on the basis that a majority protest is not presented at the public hearing the City Council can order the levying of special assessments to collect revenue to pay for expenditures incurred within each District, as identified in the following Table: Special District FY 15/16 Levy Amount# of Parcels #3 (Crossley Tract) $ 4,282.50 75 #6A (Fairport Development) $ 5,154.06 25 #6C (Park Sonora Tract) $ 12,367.80 30 #7 (Sunrise Norte) $ 23,747.18 53 #8 (Vintage Palms) $ 20,111 .56 62 #9 (Flora Vista) $ 17,409.70 77 #10 (Mountain Gate Zone 1) $ 133,108.88 308 #10 (Mountain Gate Zone 2) $ 133,254.24 196 #12 (Smoketree Commons) $ 15,323.00 6 $ 364.758.92 20 City Council Staff Report July 5, 2017 - Page 21 2017/2018 Citywide Maintenance Districts The proposed assessments for Fiscal Year 2017/2018 are less than or equal to the maximum assessment amounts previously approved by property owner petition or balloting, in accordance with the provisions of the California Constitution Article XIIID (Proposition 218).

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') Street Lighting Maintenance District No. 3 (hereinafter referred to as the "District") for fiscal year 2017/2018, in compliance with the requirements of Chapter 3, of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 (hereinafter referred to as the "Act") which is part 2, Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code 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 the maintenance of certain public improvements including street lighting maintenance within the District's boundaries. This report is prepared for the levy and collection of annual assessments for District 3 for fiscal year 2017/2018. 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. B. OVERVIEW The District described in this report contains parcels of land generally located within the area along Lawrence Street and Marguerite Street between 34th Avenue and Martha Street, consisting of Lots 3-36 and 38-77 of the Map of the "Crossley Tract". The City proposes to annually levy and collect special assessments to continue the maintenance of the improvements within the District. Assessments within the District are proposed to be levied annually, pursuant to the Landscape and Lighting Act of 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. 37 City of Palm Springs, Lighting Maintenance District No. 3-Engineer's Report Page 1 City of palm Springs—Engineer's Report Street Lighting Maintenance District No. 3, Crossley Tract This Report describes the District and the proposed assessments for fiscal year 2017l2018. 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 A. DESCRIPTION OF THE DISTRICT The Street Lighting Maintenance District No.3 ("Crossley Tract"), generally located within the area along Lawrence Street and Marguerite Street between 34"' Avenue and Martha Street, consisting of Lots 3-36 and 38-77 of the Map of "Crossley Tract". The District includes 75 single-family residential pa rcels. The purpose of the District is to ensure the ongoing maintenance, operation and servicing of local street lighting and electrical improvements installed in connection with development of properties within the District. This District will provide the financial mechanism (annual assessments) by which the ongoing operation and maintenance of these improvements will be funded. The District structure, method of apportionment and assessments described in this Report are based on current development and improvement plans including all estimated direct expenditures and incidental expenses associated with the maintenance and servicing of the improvements.

Public Street Lighting and Electrical Improvements The street lighting and electrical improvements may include, but are not limited to, electrical energy, lighting li htin fixtures, poles, meters, conduits, electrical cable and associated appurtenant facilities associated with: All street lighting within the Street Lighting Maintenance District No.3 ("Crossley Tract"). 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 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 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 desirability and security of properties is enhanced by the presence of street lighting in close proximity to those properties. 40 City of Palm Springs, Lighting Maintenance District No. 3-Engineer's Report Page 4 City of Palm Springs—Engineer's Report Street Lighting Maintenance District No. 3, Crossley Tract The special benefits of street lighting are the convenience, safety, and security of property, improvements, and goods. Specifically: ■ Enhanced deterrence of crime and the aid to police protection; ■ Increased nighttime safety on roads and streets; ■ Improved ability of pedestrians and motorists to see at night; ■ Improved ingress and egress to property; ■ Reduced vandalism and other criminal act and damage to improvements or property; • Improved traffic circulation and reduced nighttime accidents and personal property loss. 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 lighting improvements and other amenities available or visible to the public at large, the maintenance of these improvements is only necessary for the development of 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, and is reliant upon the special benefit received from the improvements 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. Proper maintenance and operation of the street lighting and electrical system benefits all properties by enhancing overall safety, mitigating crime, alleviating the fear of crime, and enhancing pedestrian safety. The street lighting located along 34th Avenue, Martha Street, Lawrence Street and Marguerite Street provides 100% special and direct benefit to all properties within the District. These lighting benefits are directly related to the positive enhancement of the area increasing property desirability. Therefore 100% of the costs of the lights 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 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 approved by the voters in the area where the assessment is imposed." This definition and conditions were later confirmed through Senate Bill 919 (Proposition 218 implementing legislation). 41 City of Palm Springs, Lighting Maintenance District No. 3-Engineer's Report Page 5 City of Palm Springs—Engineer's Report Street Lighting Maintenance District No. 3, Crossley Tract The Assessment 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 Maximum Assessment, then the proposed annual assessment is not considered an increased assessment, even if the proposed assessment is greater than the assessment applied in the prior fiscal year. The Maximum Assessment is equal to the previous historical maximum assessment, assessed to the District prior to passage of Proposition 218. If the budget and assessments calculated requires an increase greater than the Maximum Assessment, then the assessment is considered an increased assessment and would be subject to property owner protest balloting in accordance with Proposition 218 (California Constitution Articles XIIIC and XIIID). 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 the improvements are new, or where actual maintenance experience is lacking, cost estimates will be used to determine costs, as follows: Street light energy costs: The cost of energy is based on current Edison rates. Street light maintenance: Maintenance costs include: maintenance labor, materials and equipment required to properly maintain the authorized improvements and services within the District. Incidental costs: These are costs for special items, such as costs of levying the assessments with the County Tax Collector, anticipated utility rate increases, or other such costs, and 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 Count Assessor-Tax Collector's charge of 25 per Count Y 9 $ P Y assessment account plus 0.20 per levied parcel, to lace the assessments on the tax rolls. P � P P P This charge will be distributed between the benefit Districts. 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. B.

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. 6A (hereinafter referred to as the "District"), for fiscal year 201712018, in compliance with the requirements of Chapter 3, of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 (hereinafter referred to as the "Act") which is part 2, Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code 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 6A for fiscal year 2017/2018. 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. B. OVERVIEW The District described in this report contains parcels of land within the commercial and industrial area identified as the "Fairport Development", generally located along Campana Way, Montalvo Way, and Valdivia Way, between Chia Road and Tachevah Drive, west of Gene Autry Trail, consisting of Lots 1-15 of Tract 9780 and Lots 1-16 of Tract 12182. The City proposes to annually levy and collect special assessments to continue the maintenance of the improvements within the District. Assessments within the District are proposed to be levied annually, pursuant to the Landscape and Lighting Act of 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. 53 City of Palm Springs, Parkway Maintenance District No. 6A -Engineer's Report Page 9 City of Palm Springs—Engineer's Report Parkway Maintenance District No. 6A, Fairport Development This Report describes the District and the proposed assessments for fiscal year 2017/2018. 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 A. DESCRIPTION OF THE DISTRICT Parkway Maintenance District No. 6A ("Fairport Development"), consists of the residential area identified as the "Fairport Development", generally located along Campana Way, Montalvo Way, and Valdivia Way, between Chia Road and Tachevah Drive, west of Gene Autry Trail, consisting of Lots 1-15 of Tract 9780 and Lots 1-16 of Tract 12182. The District includes 25 commercial and/or industrial parcels. The purpose of the District is to ensure the ongoing maintenance and servicing of parkway landscape improvements installed in connection with development of properties within the District. This District will provide the financial mechanism (annual assessments) by which the ongoing operation and maintenance of these improvements will be funded. The District structure, proposed improvements, method of apportionment and assessments described in this Report are based on current development and improvement plans including all estimated direct expenditures, incidental expenses, and reserves associated with the maintenance and servicing of the improvements. B. DESCRIPTION OF IMPROVEMENTS AND SERVICES The purpose of the District is to ensure the ongoing maintenance, operation and servicing of parkway landscape improvements within the District. These improvements may include, but are not limited to, palm trees, turf areas with mowing strips, desert indigenous trees and ground cover, .annual flowers, a sprinkler irrigation and emitter drip system, landscape drainage system, walkways and associated appurtenant facilities located in the dedicated landscaped parkway (street right-of-way) on the west side of Gene Autry Trail (State Highway 111), and all materials, equipment, utilities, labor and appurtenant facilities related to the operation and maintenance of the parkway landscape improvements. The estimated annual cost to provide and maintain the improvements within the District shall be allocated to each property in proportion to the special benefits received. The Method of Apportionment described in this Report utilizes commonly accepted assessment engineering practices and has been established pursuant to the 1972 Act and the provisions of Proposition 218. Improvements and Services Permitted Pursuant to the 1972 Act As generally defined by the 1972 Act and applicable to this District, improvements and the associated assessments may include one or more of the following: 1) The installation or planting of landscaping; 2) The installation or construction of statuary, fountains, and other ornamental structures and facilities; 54 City of Palm Springs, Parkway Maintenance District No. 6A -Engineer's Report Page 2 City of Palm Springs—Engineer's Report Parkway Maintenance District No. 6A, Fairport Development 3) The installation or construction of public lighting facilities including, but not limited to, street lights and traffic signals; 4) The installation of park or recreational improvements including, but not limited to, all of the following: a) Land preparation, such as grading, leveling, cutting and filling, sod, landscaping, irrigation systems, sidewalks, and drainage; b) Lights, playground equipment, play courts, and public restrooms; c) The acquisition of land for park, recreational, or open-space purposes; 5) The installation or construction of any facilities which are appurtenant to any of the foregoing or which are necessary or convenient for the maintenance or servicing thereof; 6) The acquisition of any associated existing improvement; 7) The maintenance or servicing of any of the foregoing including the furnishing of services and materials for the ordinary and usual maintenance, operation, and servicing of any improvement including, but not limited to: a) Repair, removal, or replacement of all or any part of any improvements; b) Grading, clearing, removal of debris, the installation or construction of curbs, gutters, walls, sidewalks, or paving, or water, irrigation, drainage, or electrical facilities; c) Providing for the life, growth, health, and beauty of landscaping, including cultivation, irrigation, trimming, spraying, fertilizing, or treating for disease or injury; d) The removal of trimmings, rubbish, debris, and other solid waste; e) The cleaning, sandblasting, and painting of walls and other improvements to remove or cover graffiti; f) Electric current or energy, gas, or other illuminating agent for any public lighting facilities or for the lighting or operation of any other improvements; g) Water for the irrigation of any landscaping, the operation of any fountains, or the maintenance of any other improvements; 8) Incidental expenses associated with the improvements including, but not limited to: a) The cost of preparation of the report, including plans, specifications, estimates, diagram, and assessment; b) The costs of printing, advertising, and the publishing, posting and mailing of notices; c) Compensation payable to the County for collection of assessments; d) Compensation of any engineer or attorney employed to render services; e) Any other expenses incidental to the construction, installation, or maintenance and servicing of the improvements; and, f) Costs associated with any elections held for the approval of a new or increased assessment. 55 City of Palm Springs, Parkway Maintenance District No. 6A -Engineer's Report Page 3 City of Palm Springs—Engineer's Report Parkway Maintenance District No. 6A, Fairport Development Landscaping Improvements The parkway landscape improvements may include, but are not limited to, all landscaping material and irrigation 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 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 all 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; 56 City of Palm Springs, Parkway Maintenance District No. 6A -Engineer's Report Page 4 City of Palm Springs—Engineer's Report Parkway Maintenance District No. 6A, Fairport Development ■ 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 per lot unit basis. The benefits are the same for all parcels except six parcels which consist of 2 legal lots, therefore the assessments for these parcels are twice the regular assessment. D. ASSESSMENT 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 approved by the voters in the area where the assessment is imposed." This definition and conditions were later confirmed through Senate Bill 919 (Proposition 218 implementing legislation). The Assessment 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 Maximum Assessment, then the proposed annual assessment is not considered an increased assessment, even if the proposed assessment is greater than the assessment applied in the prior fiscal year. The Maximum Assessment is equal to the previous historical maximum assessment, assessed to the District prior to passage of Proposition 218. If the budget and assessments calculated requires an increase greater than the Maximum Assessment, then the assessment is considered an increased assessment and would be subject to property owner protest balloting in accordance with Proposition 218 (California Constitution Articles XIIIC and XIIID). 57 City of Palm Springs, Parkway Maintenance District No. 6A-Engineer's Report Page 5 City of Palm Springs—Engineer's Report Parkway Maintenance District No. 6A, Fairport Development 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 Landscape 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 parkway landscaping to be maintained is based upon actual Desert Water Agency billings on publicly landscaped areas being maintained within the District. Electrical energy costs: Energy costs included are those necessary for the operation of irrigation controls. Incidental costs: These are costs for special items, such as costs of levying the assessments with the County Tax Collector, anticipated utility rate increases, or other such costs, and 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. 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. B.

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 ("Park Sonora Tract"), (hereinafter referred to as the "District'), for fiscal year 2017/2018, in compliance with the requirements of Chapter 3, of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 (hereinafter referred to as the "1972 Acf') 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 2017/2018. 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 2004, the City initiated proceedings to increase the existing maximum annual assessments within the District, such that additional improvements to the street lighting system could occur, and that funds collected for this District could equal the current costs to operate and maintain the improvements. At the July 21, 2004, City Council meeting, a Public Hearing was conducted and a property owner protest ballot proceeding concluded, with the failure of the proposed increase to the existing maximum annual assessments within the District. This Engineer's Report continues to disclose the fact that the District is operating with a deficit, and continues to require the supplement of General Fund revenues from the City to operate and maintain the improvements within this District. In 2005, upon adoption of the confirmed Engineer's Report for this District for the 2005/2006 fiscal year, the City Council directed the City Engineer to schedule property owner protest ballot proceedings on the matter of approving an increase to the maximum annual assessment, as necessary to increase assessments to cover estimated annual expenses and to implement a Consumer Price Index ("CPI") annual inflator. On May 11, 2006, City staff conducted a Public Workshop for this District, at which time various owners attended and requested that the City consider eliminating the CPI annual inflator. The official ballots submitted to the owners for property owner protest ballot proceedings were revised to City of Palm Springs, Parkway Maintenance District No. 6C-Engineer's Report Page 1 70 City of Palm Springs—Engineer's Report Parkway Maintenance District No. 6C, Park Sonora Tract eliminate reference to the CPI annual inflator, and a fixed, increased maximum assessment of$412.27 per parcel. At the July 19, 2006, City Council meeting, a Public Hearing was conducted and a property owner protest ballot proceeding concluded, with the passage of the proposed increase to the existing maximum annual assessments within the District. Beginning with fiscal year 2006/2007, and thereafter, the maximum annual assessment is established at $412.27 per parcel. B. OVERVIEW The District described in this report includes all lots and parcels within the residential area identified as the "Park Sonora Tract', consisting of Tract 5078. 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 Lighting Act of 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 Report describes the District and the proposed assessments for fiscal year 2017/2018. 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 A. DESCRIPTION OF THE DISTRICT The Parkway Maintenance District No. 6C ("Park Sonora Tract"), includes all lots and parcels within the residential area identified as the "Park Sonora Tract", consisting of Tract 5078. The District includes 30 residential parcels. The purpose of the District is to ensure the ongoing maintenance and servicing of parkway landscape improvements installed in connection with development of properties within the District. This District will provide the financial mechanism (annual assessments) by which the ongoing operation and maintenance of these improvements will be funded. The District structure, proposed improvements, method of apportionment and assessments described in this Report are based on improvement plans including all estimated direct expenditures, incidental expenses, and reserves associated with the maintenance and servicing of the improvements. 71 City of Palm Springs, Parkway Maintenance District No. 6C—Engineer's Report Page 2 City of Palm Springs—Engineer's Report Parkway Maintenance District No. 6C, Park Sonora Tract B. DESCRIPTION OF IMPROVEMENTS AND SERVICES The purpose of the District is to ensure the ongoing maintenance, operation and servicing of parkway landscape improvements within the District. These improvements may include, but are not limited to, palm trees, turf areas with mowing strips, desert indigenous trees and ground cover, annual flowers, a sprinkler irrigation and emitter drip system, landscape drainage system, walkways and associated appurtenant facilities located in the dedicated landscaped parkway (street right-of-way) on the east side of El Cielo Road, and all materials, equipment, utilities, labor and appurtenant facilities related to the operation and maintenance of the parkway landscape improvements. The estimated annual cost to provide and maintain the improvements within the District shall be allocated to each property in proportion to the special benefits received. The Method of Apportionment described in this Report utilizes commonly accepted assessment engineering practices and has been established pursuant to the 1972 Act and the provisions of Proposition 218. Improvements and Services Permitted Pursuant to the 1972 Act As generally defined by the 1972 Act and applicable to this District, improvements and the associated assessments may include one or more of the following: 1) The installation or planting of landscaping; 2) The installation or construction of statuary, fountains, and other ornamental structures and facilities; 3) The installation or construction of public lighting facilities including, but not limited to, street lights and traffic signals; 4) The installation of park or recreational improvements including, but not limited to, all of the following: a) Land preparation, such as grading, leveling, cutting and filling, sod, landscaping, irrigation systems, sidewalks, and drainage; b) Lights, playground equipment, play courts, and public restrooms; c) The acquisition of land for park, recreational, or open-space purposes; 5) The installation or construction of any facilities which are appurtenant to any of the foregoing or which are necessary or convenient for the maintenance or servicing thereof; 6) The acquisition of any associated existing improvement; 7) The maintenance or servicing of any of the foregoing including the furnishing of services and materials for the ordinary and usual maintenance, operation, and servicing of any improvement including, but not limited to: a) Repair, removal, or replacement of all or,any part of any improvements; b) Grading, clearing, removal of debris, the installation or construction of curbs, gutters, walls, sidewalks, or paving, or water, irrigation, drainage, or electrical facilities; c) Providing for the life, growth, health, and beauty of landscaping, including cultivation, irrigation, trimming, spraying, fertilizing, or treating for disease or injury; d) The removal of trimmings, rubbish, debris, and other solid waste; Cif of Palm Springs, Parkwa Maintenance District No. 6C—Engineer's Report Page 3 72 YY City of Palm Springs-Engineer's Report Parkway Maintenance District No. 6C, Park Sonora Tract e) The cleaning, sandblasting, and painting of walls and other improvements to remove or cover graffiti; f) Electric current or energy, gas, or other illuminating agent for any public lighting facilities or for the lighting or operation of any other improvements; g) Water for the irrigation of any landscaping, the operation of any fountains, or the maintenance of any other improvements; 8) Incidental expenses associated with the improvements including, but not limited to: a) The cost of preparation of the report, including plans, specifications, estimates, diagram, and assessment; b) The costs of printing, advertising, and the publishing, posting and mailing of notices; c) Compensation payable to the County for collection of assessments; d) Compensation of any engineer or attorney employed to render services; e) Any other expenses incidental to the construction, installation, or maintenance and servicing of the improvements; and, f) Costs associated with any elections held for the approval of a new or increased assessment. 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. 73 City of Palm Springs, Parkway Maintenance District No. 6C-Engineer's Report Page 4 City of Palm Springs—Engineer's Report Parkway Maintenance District No. 6C, Park Sonora Tract 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 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 per lot unit basis. All lots are assessed the same amount as each is a single-family lot and receives equivalent benefit. 74 City of Palm Springs, Parkway Maintenance District No. 6C—Engineer's Report Page 5 City of Palm Springs—Engineer's Report Parkway Maintenance District No. 6C, Park Sonora Tract D. ASSESSMENT 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 approved by the voters in the area where the assessment is imposed." This definition and conditions were later confirmed through Senate Bill 919 (Proposition 218 implementing legislation). The Assessment 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 Maximum Assessment, then the proposed annual assessment is not considered an increased assessment, even if the proposed assessment is greater than the assessment applied in the prior fiscal year. The Maximum Assessment is equal to the previous historical maximum assessment, assessed to the District prior to passage of Proposition 218. If the budget and assessments calculated requires an increase greater than the Maximum Assessment, then the assessment is considered an increased assessment and would be subject to property owner protest balloting in accordance with Proposition 218 (California Constitution Articles XIIIC and XIIID). 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 Landscape 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 parkway landscaping to be maintained is based upon actual Desert Water Agency billings on publicly landscaped areas being maintained within the District. Electrical energy costs: Energy costs included are those necessary for the operation of irrigation controls and decorative (ornamental) landscape lighting improvements. Incidental costs: These are costs for special items, such as costs of levying the assessments with the County Tax Collector, anticipated utility rate increases, or other such costs, and 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. 75 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 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. B.

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. 7 ("Sunrise Norte"), (hereinafter referred to as the "District"), for fiscal year 2017/2018, 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 the District for fiscal year 2017/2018. 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. Beginning in fiscal year 2006/2007, expenditures within the District exceeded the total maximum annual assessment that can be collected in the District. In 2007, upon adoption of the confirmed Engineer's Report for this District for the 2007/2008 fiscal year, the City Council directed the City Engineer to schedule a property owner protest ballot proceeding on the matter of approving an increase to the maximum annual assessment, as necessary to increase assessments to cover estimated annual expenses and to implement a Consumer Price Index ("CPI") annual inflator. On January 16, 2008, the property owner protest ballot proceeding was conducted, and in accordance with requirements of the California State Constitution Article XIIIC and XIIID ("Proposition 218"), increased annual assessments and implementation of a CPI annual inflator were denied due to a majority protest by the property owners within the District. On February 13, 2008, the City Council ordered the reduction of services within the District as necessary to ensure total expenses do not exceed the total revenues collected within the District. Therefore, commencing with the 2008/2009 fiscal year, landscape maintenance services provided in the district will be reduced by approximately 50% of the level previously provided, such that the City's contract landscape maintenance cost is reduced appropriately, and services 87 City of Palm Springs, Parkway Maintenance District No. 7—Engineer's Report Page 1 City of Palm Springs—Engineer's Report Parkway Maintenance District No. 7, Sunrise Norte provided in the District are covered by the total maximum annual assessment collected in the District. This Engineer's Report has been prepared in accordance with the previous City Council direction. B. OVERVIEW The District described in this report includes all lots and parcels within the residential area identified as "Sunrise Norte", generally located along Mountain Shadow Drive, Sand Spring Drive, Mica Drive, Garnet Road, and Twin Star Road, consisting of Lots 2-54 of Tract 17642-2. The City proposes to annually levy and collect special assessments to continue the maintenance of the improvements within the District. Assessments within the District are proposed to be levied annually, pursuant to the Landscape and Lighting Act of 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 Report describes the District and the proposed assessments for fiscal year 2017-2018. 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 A. DESCRIPTION OF THE DISTRICT The Parkway Maintenance District No. 7 ("Sunrise Norte"), includes all lots and parcels within the residential area identified as "Sunrise Norte", generally located along Mountain Shadow Drive, Sand Spring Drive, Mica Drive, Garnet Road, and Twin Star Road, consisting of Lots 2-54 of Tract 17642-2. The District includes 53 residential parcels. The purpose of the District is to ensure the ongoing maintenance and servicing of parkway landscape improvements installed in connection with development of properties within the District. This District will provide the financial mechanism (annual assessments) by which the ongoing operation and maintenance of these improvements will be funded. The District structure, proposed improvements, method of apportionment and assessments described in this Report are based on improvement plans including all estimated direct expenditures, incidental expenses, and reserves associated with the maintenance and servicing of the improvements. 88 City of Palm Springs, Parkway Maintenance District No. 7—Engineer's Report Page 2 City of Palm Springs—Engineer's Report Parkway Maintenance District No. 7, Sunrise Norte B. DESCRIPTION OF IMPROVEMENTS AND SERVICES The purpose of the District is to ensure the ongoing maintenance, operation and servicing of parkway landscape improvements and street lighting located within the District. These improvements may include, but are not limited to, palm trees, turf areas with mowing strips, desert indigenous trees and ground cover, annual flowers, a sprinkler irrigation and emitter drip system, landscape drainage system, walkways and associated appurtenant facilities located in the dedicated landscaped parkway (street right-of-way) on the north side of San Rafael Drive; street lighting and electrical system costs for street lights located within the District; and all materials, equipment, utilities, labor and appurtenant facilities related to the operation and maintenance of the parkway landscape and street lighting improvements. The estimated annual cost to provide and maintain the improvements within the District shall be allocated to each property in proportion to the special benefits received. The Method of Apportionment described in this Report utilizes commonly accepted assessment engineering practices and has been established pursuant to the 1972 Act and the provisions of Proposition 218. Improvements and Services Permitted Pursuant to the 1972 Act As generally defined by the 1972 Act and applicable to this District, improvements and the associated assessments may include one or more of the following: 1) The installation or planting of landscaping; 2) The installation or construction of statuary, fountains, and other ornamental structures and facilities; 3) The installation or construction of public lighting facilities including, but not limited to, street lights and traffic signals; 4) The installation of park or recreational improvements including, but not limited to, all of the following: a) Land preparation, such as grading, leveling, cutting and filling, sod, landscaping, irrigation systems, sidewalks, and drainage; b) Lights, playground equipment, play courts, and public restrooms; c) The acquisition of land for park, recreational, or open-space purposes; 5) The installation or construction of any facilities which are appurtenant to any of the foregoing or which are necessary or convenient for the maintenance or servicing thereof; 6) The acquisition of any associated existing improvement; 7) The maintenance or servicing of any of the foregoing including the furnishing of services and materials for the ordinary and usual maintenance, operation, and servicing of any improvement including, but not limited to: a) Repair, removal, or replacement of all or any part of any improvements; b) Grading, clearing, removal of debris, the installation or construction of curbs, gutters, walls, sidewalks, or paving, or water, irrigation, drainage, or electrical facilities; c) Providing for the life, growth, health, and beauty of landscaping, including cultivation, irrigation, trimming, spraying, fertilizing, or treating for disease or injury; d) The removal of trimmings, rubbish, debris, and other solid waste; 89 City of Palm Springs, Parkway Maintenance District No. 7—Engineer's Report Page 3 City of Palm Springs—Engineer's Report Parkway Maintenance District No. 7, Sunrise Norte e) The cleaning, sandblasting, and painting of walls and other improvements to remove or cover graffiti; f) Electric current or energy, gas, or other illuminating agent for any public lighting facilities or for the lighting or operation of any other improvements; g) Water for the irrigation of any landscaping, the operation of any fountains, or the maintenance of any other improvements; 8) Incidental expenses associated with the improvements including, but not limited to: a) The cost of preparation of the report, including plans, specifications, estimates, diagram, and assessment; b) The costs of printing, advertising, and the publishing, posting and mailing of notices; c) Compensation payable to the County for collection of assessments; d) Compensation of any engineer or attorney employed to render services; e) Any other expenses incidental to the construction, installation, or maintenance and servicing of the improvements; and, f) Costs associated with any elections held for the approval of a new or increased assessment. 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: Public Street Lighting Improvements The street lighting improvements may include, but are not limited to, electrical energy, lighting fixtures, poles, meters, conduits, electrical cable 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. 90 City of Palm Springs, Parkway Maintenance District No. 7—Engineer's Report Page 4 City of Palm Springs—Engineer's Report Parkway Maintenance District No. 7, Sunrise Norte 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 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 nighttime safety on roads and streets; ■ 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. 91 City of Palm Springs, Parkway Maintenance District No. 7—Engineer's Report Page 5 City of Palm Springs—Engineer's Report Parkway Maintenance District No. 7, Sunrise Norte 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 per lot unit basis. All lots are assessed the same amount as each is a single-family lot and receives equivalent benefit. D.

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 Landscape Maintenance: Includes maintenance labor, materials and equipment required to properly maintain the authorized improvements and services within the District. Street light 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 parkway landscaping to be maintained is based upon actual Desert Water Agency billings on publicly landscaped areas being maintained within the District. Electrical energy costs: Energy costs included are those necessary for the operation of irrigation controls, decorative (ornamental) landscape lighting, and street lighting improvements. Incidental costs: These are costs for special items, such as costs of levying the assessments with the County Tax Collector, anticipated utility rate increases, or other such costs, and 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. 92 City of Palm Springs, Parkway Maintenance District No. 7—Engineer's Report Page 6 City of Palm Springs—Engineer's Report Parkway Maintenance District No. 7, Sunrise Norte 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. 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. B.

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. 8 ("Vintage Palms"), (hereinafter referred to as the "District"), for fiscal year 2017/2018, 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 2017/2018. 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 2004, the City initiated proceedings to increase the existing maximum annual assessments within the District, such that additional improvements to the street lighting system could occur, and that funds collected for this District could equal the current costs to operate and maintain the improvements. At the July 21, 2004, City Council meeting, a Public Hearing was conducted and a property owner protest ballot proceeding concluded, with the failure of the proposed increase to the existing maximum annual assessments within the District. This Engineer's Report continues to disclose the fact that the District is operating with a deficit, and continues to require the supplement of General Fund revenues from the City to operate and maintain the improvements within this District. In 2005, upon adoption of the confirmed Engineer's Report for this District for the 2005/2006 fiscal year, the City Council directed the City Engineer to schedule property owner protest ballot proceedings on the matter of approving an increase to the maximum annual assessment, as necessary to increase assessments to cover estimated annual expenses and to implement a Consumer Price Index ("CPI") annual inflator. At the July 19, 2006, City Council meeting, a Public Hearing was conducted and a property owner protest ballot proceeding concluded, with the failure of the proposed increase to the existing maximum annual assessments within the District. The Engineer's Report continued to disclose the fact that the District is operating with a deficit, and continued to require the supplement of ' 03 City of Palm Springs, Parkway Maintenance District No. 8-Engineer's Report Page 1 City of Palm Springs—Engineer's Report Parkway Maintenance District No. 8, Vintage Palms General Fund revenues from the City to operate and maintain the improvements within this District. In 2007, upon adoption of the confirmed Engineer's Report for this District for the 2007/2008 fiscal year, the City Council directed the City Engineer to schedule a third and final property owner protest ballot proceeding on the matter of approving an increase to the maximum annual assessment, as necessary to increase assessments to cover estimated annual expenses and to implement a Consumer Price Index("CPI") annual inflator. On January 16, 2008, the property owner protest ballot proceeding was conducted, and in accordance with requirements of the California State Constitution Article XIIIC and XIIID ("Proposition 218"), increased annual assessments and implementation of a CPI annual inflator were approved. This Engineer's Report has been prepared in accordance with the previous City Council direction. B. OVERVIEW The District described in this report includes all lots and parcels within the residential area identified as "Vintage Palms", consisting of Tract 24853-1 and the remainder portion of Parcel 1 of Parcel Map 25864 consisting of approximately 55 acres of vacant land. 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 Lighting Act of 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 2015/2017, 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 the latest monthly statistical data available each year at the time the Engineer's Report is prepared, with the CPI for the same monthly statistical data from the prior year, 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 2017/2018. 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 City of Palm Springs, Parkway Maintenance District No. 8—Engineer's Report Page 2 J City of Palm Springs—Engineer's Report Parkway Maintenance District No. 8, Vintage Palms Fund Numbers to identify on the tax roll properties assessed for special district benefit assessments. DESCRIPTION OF THE DISTRICT A. DESCRIPTION OF THE DISTRICT The District originally included all lots and parcels within the residential area identified as "Vintage Palms", consisting of Tract 24853-1 and the remaining portion of Parcel 1 of Parcel Map 25864, for a total of 62 single family residential lots and two vacant parcels. However, on May 5, 2004, by Resolution 20920 adopted by the City Council, Planned Development District 290, Tentative Tract Map 31848 (otherwise originally known as "Palm Springs Village" and subsequently as "Avalon") was approved. Included in the City Council's approval was the requirement to incorporate the existing parkway landscaping along the west side of Avenida Caballeros, north of San Rafael Drive, into the project. This segment of parkway landscaping would be transferred over to the project, and ultimately, a private Home Owners Association, for maintenance. In April 2006, the project commenced construction; clearing and rough grading was begun. Confirmation was received from the developer that removal of the parkway landscaping along the west side of Avenida Caballeros north of San Rafael Drive within the District would occur prior to June 30, 2006, (the end of the 2005/2006 fiscal year). Therefore, with the 2006/2007 Engineer's Report, it was identified that the westerly landscaped parkway along Avenida Caballeros north of San Rafael Drive, originally included in the District, was eliminated and excluded (de-annexed) from the District. All future parkway maintenance of this area will be the responsibility of the adjacent property through a Home Owners Association and recorded Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&R's), for the project now identified as "Avalon". Therefore, the remainder portion of Parcel 1 of Parcel Map 25864 consisting of approximately 55 acres of vacant land, (previously identified as two vacant parcels by Assessor's Parcel Number 669-330-035 and 669-330-036), now included as part of the "Avalon" project, have been removed (de-annexed)from the District. The remaining parkway landscaping along the east side of Avenida Caballeros north of San Rafael Drive, and along the north side of San Rafael Drive adjacent to the Vintage Palms development, represent the improvements included in the District, to benefit the 62 single family residential lots within Tract 24853-1. The purpose of the District is to ensure the ongoing maintenance and servicing of parkway landscape improvements installed in connection with development of properties within the District. This District will provide the financial mechanism (annual assessments) by which the ongoing operation and maintenance of these improvements will be funded. The District structure, proposed improvements, method of apportionment and assessments described in this Report are based on improvement plans including all estimated direct expenditures, incidental expenses, and reserves associated with the maintenance and servicing of the improvements. B. DESCRIPTION OF IMPROVEMENTS AND SERVICES The purpose of the District is to ensure the ongoing maintenance, operation and servicing of parkway landscape improvements within the District. These improvements may include, but are not limited to, palm trees, turf areas with mowing strips, desert indigenous trees and ground cover, annual flowers, a sprinkler irrigation and emitter drip system, landscape drainage system, walkways and associated appurtenant facilities located in the dedicated landscaped parkway (street right-of-way) on the north side of San Rafael Drive and on the City of Palm Springs, Parkway Maintenance District No. 8—Engineer's Report Page 3 105 City of Palm Springs—Engineer's Report Parkway Maintenance District No. 8, Vintage Palms east side' of Avenida Caballeros north of San Rafael Drive, and all materials, equipment, utilities, labor and appurtenant facilities related to the operation and maintenance of the parkway landscape improvements. The estimated annual cost to provide and maintain the improvements within the District shall be allocated to each property in proportion to the special benefits received. The Method of Apportionment described in this Report utilizes commonly accepted assessment engineering practices and has been established pursuant to the 1972 Act and the provisions of Proposition 218. Improvements and Services Permitted Pursuant to the 1972 Act As generally defined by the 1972 Act and applicable to this District, improvements and the associated assessments may include one or more of the following: 1) The installation or planting of landscaping; 2) The installation or construction of statuary, fountains, and other ornamental structures and facilities; 3) The installation or construction of public lighting facilities including, but not limited to, street lights and traffic signals; 4) The installation of park or recreational improvements including, but not limited to, all of the following: a) Land preparation, such as grading, leveling, cutting and filling, sod, landscaping, irrigation systems, sidewalks, and drainage; b) Lights, playground equipment, play courts, and public restrooms; c) The acquisition of land for park, recreational, or open-space purposes; 5) The installation or construction of any facilities which are appurtenant to any of the foregoing or which are necessary or convenient for the maintenance or servicing thereof; 6) The acquisition of any associated existing improvement; 7) The maintenance or servicing of any of the foregoing including the furnishing of services and materials for the ordinary and usual maintenance, operation, and servicing of any improvement including, but not limited to: a) Repair, removal, or replacement of all or any part of any improvements; b) Grading, clearing, removal of debris, the installation or construction of curbs, gutters, walls, sidewalks, or paving, or water, irrigation, drainage, or electrical facilities; c) Providing for the life, growth, health, and beauty of landscaping, including cultivation, irrigation, trimming, spraying, fertilizing, or treating for disease or injury; d) The removal of trimmings, rubbish, debris, and other solid waste; e) The cleaning, sandblasting, and painting of walls and other improvements to remove or cover graffiti; f) Electric current or energy, gas, or other illuminating agent for any public lighting facilities or for the lighting or operation of any other improvements; ' Modified by the 2006/2007 Engineer's Report, previously the west side of Avenida Caballeros was included in the District, but was subsequently de-annexed from the District and absorbed for maintenance by the adjacent project, "Avalon". City of Palm Springs, Parkway Maintenance District No. 8—Engineer's Report Page 4 106 City of Palm Springs-Engineer's Report Parkway Maintenance District No. 8, Vintage Palms g) Water for the irrigation of any landscaping, the operation of any fountains, or the maintenance of any other improvements; 8) Incidental expenses associated with the improvements including, but not limited to: a) The cost of preparation of the report, including plans, specifications, estimates, diagram, and assessment; b) The costs of printing, advertising, and the publishing, posting and mailing of notices; c) Compensation payable to the County for collection of assessments; d) Compensation of any engineer or attorney employed to render services; e) Any other expenses incidental to the construction, installation, or maintenance and servicing of the improvements; and, f) Costs associated with any elections held for the approval of a new or increased assessment. 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. In 2007, the entire east side of Avenida Caballeros parkway landscaping was removed and replaced, at the cost of Sun Cal - developer of the adjacent Avalon project. Pursuant to a Court ordered Settlement Agreement between the original developer (Trans West Housing) and representatives of homeowners within the Vintage Palms neighborhood, agreement included the developer's obligation to revise the existing desert landscape improvements along the east side of Avenida Caballeros to be consistent with parkway landscaping improvements to be installed along the west side of Avenida Caballeros. 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. City of Palm Springs, Parkway Maintenance District No. 8-Engineer's Report Page 5 7 City of Palm Springs—Engineer's Report Parkway Maintenance District No. 8, Vintage Palms 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 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. The total assessment was previously apportioned with 59% of the total District costs levied against the 62 single family lots within Tract 24853-1 and 41% of the total District costs levied against the remainder portion of Parcel 1 of Parcel Map 25864 consisting of approximately 55 acres of vacant land, (previously identified as two vacant parcels by Assessor's Parcel Number 669-330-035 and City of Palm Springs, Parkway Maintenance District No. 8—Engineer's Report Page 6 0 S City of Palm Springs—Engineer's Report Parkway Maintenance District No. 8, Vintage Palms 669-330-036). The apportionment was determined by the length of the adjacent landscaped parkways, with the westerly landscaped parkway along Avenida Caballeros representing 41% of the overall length of landscaped parkways within the District. However, with the absorption of the westerly landscaped parkway along Avenida Caballeros for maintenance by the adjacent project, "Avalon", the apportioned 41% of the District costs representing that portion of the District was eliminated and de-annexed from the District in fiscal year 2006/2007. Therefore, the apportioned 59% of the District costs, representing the remaining portion (easterly landscaped parkway along Avenida Caballeros and the landscaped parkway along San Rafael Drive) now represents 100% of the District costs beginning in fiscal year 200612007. The District costs will be equally apportioned to each parcel within Tract 24853-1 on a per lot unit basis. All lots are assessed the same amount as each is a single-family lot and receives equivalent benefit. D. ASSESSMENT 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 approved by the voters in the area where the assessment is imposed." This definition and conditions were later confirmed through Senate Bill 919 (Proposition 218 implementing legislation). The purpose of establishing an Assessment 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 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 fiscal year 2009/2010 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.

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 Landscape 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 parkway landscaping to be maintained is based upon actual Desert Water Agency billings on publicly landscaped areas being maintained within the District. Electrical energy costs: Energy costs included are those necessary for the operation of irrigation controls and decorative (ornamental) landscape lighting improvements. Incidental costs: These are costs for special items, such as costs of levying the assessments with the County Tax Collector, anticipated utility rate increases, or other such costs, and 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. 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. B.

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. 9 ("Flora Vista'), (hereinafter referred to as the "District"), for fiscal year 2017/2018, 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 refered to as was rmed revenues andr rhelp finance lthe clostts of povidingtfor parkwaytlandscapee nt certain y maintenance nancewithin the District's boundaries. This report is prepared for the levy and collection of annual assessments for the District for fiscal year 2017/2018. 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 s e the �or it may brt is leted it is e modifiedpresented to and approved.he City Council for its review and approvalPresented 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 2005, upon adoption of the confirmed Engineer's Report for this District for the 2005/2006 fiscal year, the City Council directed the City n Engineer schedule increase to prothe maximum annual I perty owner protest ballot proceedings on the matter of approving assessment, as necessary to increase assessments to cover estimated annual expenses and to implement a Consumer Price Index ("CPI") annual inflator. At the July 19, 2006, City Council meeting, a Public Hearing was conducted and a property owner protest ballot proceeding concluded, with the failure of the proposed increase to the existing maximum annual assessments within the District. This Engineer's Report continues to disclose the fact that the District is operating with a deficit, and continues to require the supplement of General Fund revenues from the City to operate and maintain the improvements within this District. City Council direction as a result of the failure to increase the existing maximum annual assessment within the District included reduction of services to the level afforded by the revenues collected by the existing maximum annual assessment, as may be practical. 1� 3 city of Palm Springs, Parkway Maintenance District No. 9—Engineer's Report Page 1 '' City of Palm Springs—Engineer's Report Parkway Maintenance District No. 9, Flora Vista B. OVERVIEW The District described in this report includes all lots and parcels within the residential area identified as "Flora Vista", consisting of Tract 26364-1, 26364-2, 26364-3 and Tract 26364. The City proposes to annually levy and collect special assessments to continue the maintenance of the improvements within the District. Assessments within the District are proposed to be levied annually, pursuant to the Landscape and Lighting Act of 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 Report describes the District and the proposed assessments for fiscal year 2017/2018. 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 A. DESCRIPTION OF THE DISTRICT The District described in this report includes all lots and parcels within the residential area identified as Flora Vista", consisting of Tract 26364-1, 26364-2, 26364-3 and Tract 26364. The District includes 77 single family residential lots. The purpose of the District is to ensure the ongoing maintenance and servicing of local street landscaping improvements installed in connection with development of properties within the District. This District will provide the financial mechanism (annual assessments) by which the ongoing operation and maintenance of these improvements will be funded. The District structure, proposed improvements, method of apportionment and assessments described in this Report are based on improvement plans including all estimated direct expenditures, incidental expenses, and reserves associated with the maintenance and servicing of the improvements. B. DESCRIPTION OF IMPROVEMENTS AND SERVICES The purpose of the District is to ensure the ongoing maintenance, operation and servicing of parkway landscape improvements within the District. These improvements may include, but are not limited to, palm trees, turf areas with mowing strips, desert indigenous trees and ground cover, annual flowers, a sprinkler irrigation and emitter drip system, landscape drainage system, walkways and associated appurtenant facilities located in the dedicated landscaped parkway (street right-of-way) on the west side of Sunrise Way, and all materials, equipment, utilities, labor and appurtenant facilities related to the operation and maintenance of the parkway landscape improvements. 124 City of Palm Springs, Parkway Maintenance District No. 9—Engineer's Report Page 2 City of Palm Springs—Engineer's Report Parkway Maintenance District No. 9, Flora Vista The estimated annual cost to provide and maintain the improvements within the District shall be allocated to each property in proportion to the special benefits received. The Method of Apportionment described in this Report utilizes commonly accepted assessment engineering practices and has been established pursuant to the 1972 Act and the provisions of Proposition 218. Improvements and Services Permitted Pursuant to the 1972 Act As generally defined by the 1972 Act and applicable to this District, improvements and the associated assessments may include one or more of the following: 1) The installation or planting of landscaping; 2) The installation or construction of statuary, fountains, and other ornamental structures and facilities; 3) The installation or construction of public lighting facilities including, but not limited to, street lights and traffic signals; 4) The installation of park or recreational improvements including, but not limited to, all of the following: a) Land preparation, such as grading, leveling, cutting and filling, sod, landscaping, irrigation systems, sidewalks, and drainage; b) Lights, playground equipment, play courts, and public restrooms; c) The acquisition of land for park, recreational, or open-space purposes; 5) The installation or construction of any facilities which are appurtenant to any of the foregoing or which are necessary or convenient for the maintenance or servicing thereof; 6) The acquisition of any associated existing improvement; 7) The maintenance or servicing of any of the foregoing including the furnishing of services and materials for the ordinary and usual maintenance, operation, and servicing of any improvement including, but not limited to: a) Repair, removal, or replacement of all or any part of any improvements; b) Grading, clearing, removal of debris, the installation or construction of curbs, gutters, walls, sidewalks, or paving, or water, irrigation, drainage, or electrical facilities; c) Providing for the life, growth, health, and beauty of landscaping, including cultivation, irrigation, trimming, spraying, fertilizing, or treating for disease or injury; d) The removal of trimmings, rubbish, debris, and other solid waste; e) The cleaning, sandblasting, and painting of walls and other improvements to remove or cover graffiti; f) Electric current or energy, gas, or other illuminating agent for any public lighting facilities or for the lighting or operation of any other improvements; g) Water for the irrigation of any landscaping, the operation of any fountains, or the maintenance of any other improvements; 8) Incidental expenses associated with the improvements including, but not limited to: a) The cost of preparation of the report, including plans, specifications, estimates, diagram, and assessment; 125 City of Palm Springs, Parkway Maintenance District No. 9—Engineer's Report Page 3 City of Palm Springs—Engineer's Report Parkway Maintenance District No. 9, Flora Vista b) The costs of printing, advertising, and the publishing, posting and mailing of notices; c) Compensation payable to the County for collection of assessments; d) Compensation of any engineer or attorney employed to render services; e) Any other expenses incidental to the construction, installation, or maintenance and servicing of the improvements; and, f) Costs associated with any elections held for the approval of a new or increased assessment. 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, 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 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. 126 City of Palm Springs, Parkway Maintenance District No. 9—Engineer's Report Page 4 City of Palm Springs—Engineer's Report Parkway Maintenance District No. 9, Flora Vista 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 per lot unit basis. All lots are assessed the same amount as each is a single-family lot and receives equivalent benefit. D. ASSESSMENT 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 approved by the voters in the area where the assessment is imposed." This definition and conditions were later confirmed through Senate Bill 919 (Proposition 218 implementing legislation). The Assessment 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 Maximum Assessment, then the proposed annual assessment is not considered an 12 7 City of Palm Springs, Parkway Maintenance District No. 9—Engineer's Report Page 5 City of Palm Springs—Engineer's Report Parkway Maintenance District No. 9, Flora Vista increased assessment, even if the proposed assessment is greater than the assessment applied in the prior fiscal year. The Maximum Assessment is equal to the previous historical maximum assessment, assessed to the District prior to passage of Proposition 218. If the budget and assessments calculated requires an increase greater than the Maximum Assessment, then the assessment is considered an increased assessment and would be subject to property owner protest balloting in accordance with Proposition 218 (California Constitution Articles XIIIC and XIIID). 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 Landscape 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 parkway landscaping to be maintained is based upon actual Desert Water Agency billings on publicly landscaped areas being maintained within the District. Electrical energy costs: Energy costs included are those necessary for the operation of irrigation controls. Incidental costs: These are costs for special items, such as costs of levying the assessments with the County Tax Collector, anticipated utility rate increases, or other such costs, and 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. 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. B.

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. 10, Zone 1, ("Mountain Gate"), (hereinafter referred to as the "District"), for fiscal year 2017/2018, 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 landscape maintenance within the District's boundaries. This report is prepared for the levy and collection of annual assessments for the District for fiscal year 2017/2018. 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. B. OVERVIEW The District described in this report includes all lots within the residential area identified as "Mountain Gate", consisting of Tract 30963-1, 30963-2, and Tract 30963. The City proposes to annually levy and collect special assessments to continue the maintenance of the improvements within the District. Assessments within the District are proposed to be levied annually, pursuant to the Landscape and Lighting Act of 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. 140 City of Palm Springs, Parkway Maintenance District No. 10, Zone 1 —Engineer's Report Page 1 City of Palm Springs—Engineer's Report Parkway Maintenance District No, 10, Zone 1, Mountain Gate This Report describes the District and the proposed assessments for fiscal year 2017/2018. 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 A. DESCRIPTION OF THE DISTRICT The District described in this report includes all lots within the residential area identified as "Mountain Gate", consisting of Tract 30963-1, 30963-2, and Tract 30963. The District includes 308 single family residential lots. The purpose of the District is to ensure the ongoing maintenance and servicing of local street landscaping improvements installed in connection with development of properties within the District. This District will provide the financial mechanism (annual assessments) by which the ongoing operation and maintenance of these improvements will be funded. The District structure, proposed improvements, method of apportionment and assessments described in this Report are based on improvement plans including all estimated direct expenditures, incidental expenses, and reserves associated with the maintenance and servicing of the improvements. B. DESCRIPTION OF IMPROVEMENTS AND SERVICES The purpose of the District is to ensure the ongoing maintenance, operation and servicing of parkway landscape improvements within the District. These improvements may include, but are not limited to, palm trees, turf areas with mowing strips, desert indigenous trees and ground cover, annual flowers, a sprinkler irrigation and emitter drip system, landscape drainage system, walkways and associated appurtenant facilities located in the dedicated landscaped parkway(street right-of-way) on the east side of State Highway 111 (North Palm Canyon Drive) and on the north side of Gateway Drive as well as various perimeter landscape and open space lots, and all materials, equipment, utilities, labor and appurtenant facilities related to the operation and maintenance of the parkway landscape improvements. The estimated annual cost to provide and maintain the improvements within the District shall be allocated to each property in proportion to the special benefits received. The Method of Apportionment described in this Report utilizes commonly accepted assessment engineering practices and has been established pursuant to the 1972 Act and the provisions of Proposition 218. Improvements and Services Permitted Pursuant to the 1972 Act As generally defined by the 1972 Act and applicable to this District, improvements and the associated assessments may include one or more of the following: 1) The installation or planting of landscaping; 2) The installation or construction of statuary, fountains, and other ornamental structures and facilities; 141 City of Palm Springs, Parkway Maintenance District No. 10, Zone 1 —Engineer's Report Page 2 City of Palm Springs—Engineer's Report Parkway Maintenance District No. 10, Zone 1, Mountain Gate 3) The installation or construction of public lighting facilities including, but not limited to, street lights and traffic signals; 4) The installation of park or recreational improvements including, but not limited to, all of the following: a) Land preparation, such as grading, leveling, cutting and filling, sod, landscaping, irrigation systems, sidewalks, and drainage; b) Lights, playground equipment, play courts, and public restrooms; c) The acquisition of land for park, recreational, or open-space purposes; 5) The installation or construction of any facilities which are appurtenant to any of the foregoing or which are necessary or convenient for the maintenance or servicing thereof; 6) The acquisition of any associated existing improvement; 7) The maintenance or servicing of any of the foregoing including the furnishing of services and materials for the ordinary and usual maintenance, operation, and servicing of any improvement including, but not limited to: a) Repair, removal, or replacement of all or any part of any improvements; b) Grading, clearing, removal of debris, the installation or construction of curbs, gutters, walls, sidewalks, or paving, or water, irrigation, drainage, or electrical facilities; c) Providing for the life, growth, health, and beauty of landscaping, including cultivation, irrigation, trimming, spraying, fertilizing, or treating for disease or injury; d) The removal of trimmings, rubbish, debris, and other solid waste; e) The cleaning, sandblasting, and painting of walls and other improvements to remove or cover graffiti; f) Electric current or energy, gas, or other illuminating agent for any public lighting facilities or for the lighting or operation of any other improvements; g) Water for the irrigation of any landscaping, the operation of any fountains, or the maintenance of any other improvements; 8) Incidental expenses associated with the improvements including, but not limited to: a) The cost of preparation of the report, including plans, specifications, estimates, diagram, and assessment; b) The costs of printing, advertising, and the publishing, posting and mailing of notices; c) Compensation payable to the County for collection of assessments; d) Compensation of any engineer or attorney employed to render services; e) Any other expenses incidental to the construction, installation, or maintenance and servicing of the improvements; and, f) Costs associated with any elections held for the approval of a new or increased assessment. 142 City of Palm Springs, Parkway Maintenance District No. 10, Zone 1 —Engineer's Report Page 3 City of Palm Springs—Engineer's Report Parkway Maintenance District No. 10, Zone 1, Mountain Gate Landscaping Improvements The landscaping improvements to be maintained by the District may include, but are not limited to palm trees, turf areas with mowing strips, desert indigenous trees and ground cover, annual flowers, a sprinkler irrigation and emitter drip system, landscape drainage system, walkways and associated appurtenant facilities located in the dedicated landscaped parkway (street right-of-way) on the east side of State Highway 111 extending the (street length g h of the Mountain Gate development, as well as the dedicated landscaped parkway of-way) on the north side of Gateway Drive, and various other landscaped open space lots throughout the perimeter of the development. The ongoing maintenance, servicing and operation of these improvements have been identified as a special benefit to the residential properties within Tracts 30963-1, 30963-2, and 30963 and the annual assessments described herein will provide funding for the materials, equipment, utilities, labor, appurtenant facilities and incidental expenses related thereto as permitted under the provisions of the 1972 Act. Specifically not included as part of the improvements and facilities for the District are: Landscaped areas located on private property; Landscaped areas located outside the boundaries of the District; Improvements that are funded by other sources available to the City including other assessments; and Landscaped areas maintained and funded by the Homeowner's Association established for this development including well sites, open space and park areas located within the development. 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. 143 City of Palm Springs, Parkway Maintenance District No. 10, Zone 1 —Engineer's Report Page 4 City of Palm Springs—Engineer's Report Parkway Maintenance District No. 10, Zone 1, Mountain Gate 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 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 landscape improvements installed in connection with the development of residential properties within Tracts 30963-1, 30963-2 and 30963 ("Mountain Gate") and will be maintained by the District shall be fairly distributed among all benefiting parcels based upon the special benefit received by each parcel. The District is comprised of 308 residential parcels and various private streets, public easements and open space areas. While the various private streets, public easements and open space areas within the Mountain Gate development may be assigned an Assessor's Parcel Number by the County Assessor's Office, it has been determined that these parcels (identified as letter lots on the approved tract maps) resulted from the planned development of the residential properties and these parcels receive no direct and special benefit from the improvements, in fact some of these parcels contain the landscaped areas to be maintained by the District as well as landscaped areas that will be maintained by the Homeowner's Association established for the Mountain Gate development. Since the improvements to be maintained by the District have been installed and constructed in conjunction with the development of all residential parcels within Tracts 144 City of Palm Springs, Parkway Maintenance District No. 10, Zone 1 —Engineer's Report Page 5 City of Palm Springs—Engineer's Report Parkway Maintenance District No. 10, Zone 1, Mountain Gate 30963-1, 30963-2, and 30963, it has been determined that each and every residential parcel within the development shall be assessed for the net annual costs associated with the ongoing maintenance of those improvements. While it is evident that all residential properties within the District receive special benefit, it is also recognized that in this particular development, the residential parcels directly adjacent to the improvements have enhanced benefits resulting from their proximity to the improvements. Specifically, 16 parcels (Lots 15, 26, 27, 43, 44, 66, 67, 89 through 96, and 194 of Tract 30963-2 are directly adjacent to the landscape improvements. The physical relationship of parcels directly adjacent to the improvements provides these properties expanded green space behind their homes that provide a visual enhancement to the property; improved erosion and dust control; and increased temperature moderation resulting from the trees and irrigation. While factors such as temperature moderation versus distance are measurable values for determining variances in special benefit, other factors such as enhanced visual benefit tend to be more subjective. However it is reasonable to conclude that collectively, these enhanced benefits associated with properties adjacent to the improvements are appropriately represented by an estimated ten percent (10%) increase in their special benefit as compared to the other residential properties within the District. Therefore, in order to apportion special benefit to all parcels within the District, a weighted method of apportionment known as an Equivalent Benefit Unit (EBU) methodology has been utilized to calculate a corresponding and equitable assessment for each parcel. It has been determined that all residential parcels within the development that are not immediately adjacent to the improvements receives similar and equal special benefit from the improvements and have been assigned a weighted allocation of one (1.0) EBU. As previously noted, it has also been determined that the residential parcel immediately adjacent to the improvements receive approximately a 10% greater special benefit than the other residential parcels within the development, and each of these parcels has been assigned a weighted allocation of one and one-tenth (1.1) EBU. Parcels identified as private streets; public easements and open space areas have been assigned a zero (0.0) EBU. Based on these weighted factors, an assessment rate (rate per EBU) for the District is calculated by taking the Total Net Cost to be assessed ("Balance to Levy"), then dividing that amount by the Total Number of EBU's assigned to all parcels within the District. Total Balance to Levy/Total EBU = Levy per EBU (assessment rate) The assessment amount for each parcel is calculated by multiplying the assessment rate ("Levy per EBU") by the EBU assigned to each parcel. Levy per EBU x Each Parcel's Individual EBU = Parcel Levy Amount Since each residential parcel not immediately adjacent to the improvements has been assigned 1.0 EBU, the assessment obligation for each these residential parcels will be equal to the annual assessment rate. Since each residential parcel immediately adjacent to the improvements has been assigned 1.1 EBU, the assessment obligation for each residential of these parcels will be equal to 1.1 times the annual assessment rate. D. ASSESSMENT FORMULA Any new or increased assessment requires certain noticing and meeting requirements by law. Prior to the passage of Proposition 218 (California Constitution Articles XI IC 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 approved by the voters in the area where the assessment is imposed." This definition and 145 City of Palm Springs, Parkway Maintenance District No. 10, Zone 1 —Engineer's Report Page 6 City of Palm Springs—Engineer's Report Parkway Maintenance District No. 10, Zone 1, Mountain Gate conditions were later confirmed through Senate Bill 919 (Proposition 218 implementing legislation). An Assessment Range Formula was included as part of the original formation of the District. The purpose of establishing the Assessment Range Formula is to provide for reasonable increases and inflationary adjustment to annual costs and assessments without requiring costly noticing and mailing procedures, which could add to the costs and assessments. An original maximum assessment amount of $95,719 was established for the first fiscal year 2003/2004 this District was formed (the Initial Maximum Assessment). Future District Reports will identify as part of the District Budget an Adjusted Maximum Assessment Rate in accordance with the Assessment Range Formula for each subsequent fiscal year.. The Assessment Range Formula for this District is generally defined: • If h proposed annual assessment f r' r I the o ed a ua assess e t or the upcoming fiscal year is less than o equal to P P P 9 Y q the adjusted Maximum Assessment Rate, then the proposed annual assessment is not considered an increased assessment. • The Maximum Assessment Rate is equal to the Initial Maximum Assessment Rate of $95,719 established in fiscal year 2003/2004, adjusted annually by the annual percentage change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) of"All Urban Consumers"for the Los Angeles-Orange-Riverside County Area. The CPI used for establishing subsequent Maximum Assessment Rates shall be for the annual percentage change from the most current month published by the U. S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics; at the time the Engineer's Report for the District is prepared. Beginning with the second fiscal year (fiscal year 2004/2005) and each fiscal year thereafter, the Maximum Assessment Rate will be recalculated and a new Adjusted Maximum Assessment Rate will be established for the fiscal year utilizing the Assessment Range Formula described above. The Maximum Assessment Rate shall be calculated independent of the annual budget and proposed assessment. The annual percentage change in CPI shall be based on the annual percentage change established by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. Should the Bureau of Labor Statistics revise such index or discontinue the preparation of such index, the City shall use the revised index or comparable system as approved by the City Council for determining fluctuations in the cost of living. Any proposed annual assessment less than or equal to the 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. To impose a new or increased assessment other than the annual inflationary adjustment provided by the preceding Assessment Range Formula, the City must comply with the provisions of the California Constitution Article XIIID Section 4c, that requires a public hearing and certain protest procedures including mailed notice of the public hearing and property owner protest balloting. Property owners through the balloting process must approve a proposed new or increased assessment before any such assessment may be imposed. 146 City of Palm Springs, Parkway Maintenance District No. 10, Zone 1 —Engineer's Report Page 7 City of Palm Springs—Engineer's Report Parkway Maintenance District No. 10, Zone 1, Mountain Gate 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. Electrical energy costs: Energy costs included are those necessary for the operation of irrigation controls. 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. 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. Reserve Fund: In addition to the estimated annual maintenance expenditures and administrative costs, the 1972 Act provides for the annual collection of funds to be retained in a Reserve Fund. These funds are collected and retained for the purpose of funding the operation and maintenance of the improvements from the beginning of the fiscal year (July 1) until such time the assessment proceeds are received from the County which is generally in January or February (Operational Reserves). The funds may also be used to offset unforeseen maintenance expenditures (revenue deficits) as well as funds retained as surplus revenues from the previous fiscal year. The amount retained in the Reserve Fund typically should not exceed an amount greater than the operational reserve requirements described above. B.

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. 10, Zone 2, ("Mountain Gate II"), (hereinafter referred to as the "District"), for fiscal year 2017/2018, 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 landscape maintenance within the District's boundaries. This report is prepared for the levy and collection of annual assessments for the District for fiscal year 2017/2018. 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. B. OVERVIEW The existing Parkway Maintenance District No. 10, Zone 1, (Mountain Gate) is comprised of the 308 residential parcels of Tracts 30963-1, 30963-2 and 30963. The District provides for the maintenance of local landscape improvements associated with development of those properties including parkway landscaping along Highway 111 and Gateway Drive as well as specific public areas within the development. In 2005, Annexation No. 1 of Tracts 32028-1 and 32028, (Mountain Gate II), to the District was approved, which expanded the western boundaries of the existing District and facilitated the maintenance and operation of additional landscape improvements along State Highway 111 installed in connection with the development of the residential properties within the Mountain Gate II subdivision. Annexation No. 1 has been identified as Zone 2 of Parkway Maintenance District No. 10. Although the landscape improvements associated with the Mountain Gate II development are similar to the improvements provided in Zone 1 of the District, the improvements to be installed and maintained are a direct result of the Mountain Gate II development and the cost of maintaining these improvements shall be budgeted and apportioned to only the properties within the Mountain Gate II development, identified as Zone 2 of the District. 170 City of Palm Springs, Parkway Maintenance District No. 10, Zone 2—Engineer's Report Page 1 City of Palm Springs—Engineer's Report Parkway Maintenance District No. 10, Zone 2, Mountain Gate It The District described in this report includes all lots within the residential area identified as "Mountain Gate II", consisting of Tract 32028-1 and Tract 32028. The City proposes to annually levy and collect special assessments to continue the maintenance of the improvements within the District. Assessments within the District are proposed to be levied annually, pursuant to the Landscape and Lighting Act of 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 Report describes the District and the proposed assessments for fiscal year 2017/2018. 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 A. DESCRIPTION OF THE DISTRICT The District described in this report includes all lots within the residential area identified as "Mountain Gate II", consisting of Tract 32028-1 and Tract 32028. The District includes 196 single family residential lots. The purpose of the District is to ensure the ongoing maintenance and servicing of local street landscaping improvements installed in connection with development of properties within the District. This District will provide the financial mechanism (annual assessments) by which the ongoing operation and maintenance of these improvements will be funded. The District structure, proposed improvements, method of apportionment and assessments described in this Report are based on improvement plans including all estimated direct expenditures, incidental expenses, and reserves associated with the maintenance and servicing of the improvements. B. DESCRIPTION OF IMPROVEMENTS AND SERVICES The purpose of the District is to ensure the ongoing maintenance, operation and servicing of parkway landscape improvements within the District. These improvements may include, but are not limited to, palm trees, turf areas with mowing strips, desert indigenous trees and ground cover, annual flowers, a sprinkler irrigation and emitter drip system, landscape drainage system, walkways and associated appurtenant facilities located in the dedicated landscaped parkway (street right-of-way) on the east side of State Highway 111 (North Palm Canyon Drive); and all materials, equipment, utilities, labor and appurtenant facilities related to the operation and maintenance of the parkway landscape improvements. 171 City of Palm Springs, Parkway Maintenance District No. 10, Zone 2—Engineer's Report Page 2 City of Palm Springs—Engineer's Report Parkway Maintenance District No. 10, Zone 2, Mountain Gate II The estimated annual cost to provide and maintain the improvements within the District shall be allocated to each property in proportion to the special benefits received. The Method of Apportionment described in this Report utilizes commonly accepted assessment engineering practices and has been established pursuant to the 1972 Act and the provisions of Proposition 218.

Landscaping Improvements The landscaping improvements to be maintained by the District may include, but are not limited to palm trees, turf areas with mowing strips, desert indigenous trees and ground cover, annual flowers, a sprinkler irrigation and emitter drip system, landscape drainage system, walkways and associated appurtenant facilities located in the dedicated landscaped parkway (street right-of-way) on the east side of State Highway 111 extending the length of the Mountain Gate II development. The ongoing maintenance, servicing and operation of these improvements have been identified as a special benefit to the residential properties within Tracts 32028-1 and 32028, and the annual assessments described herein will provide funding for the materials, equipment, utilities, labor, appurtenant facilities and incidental expenses related thereto as permitted under the provisions of the 1972 Act. Specifically not included as part of the improvements and facilities for the District are: • Landscaped areas located on private property; • Landscaped areas located outside the boundaries of the District; • Improvements that are funded by other sources available to the City including other assessments; and • Landscaped areas maintained and funded by the Homeowner's Association established for this development including well sites, open space and park areas located within the development. 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. i'7 3 City of Palm Springs, Parkway Maintenance District No. 10, Zone 2—Engineer's Report Page 4 City of Palm Springs—Engineer's Report Parkway Maintenance District No. 10, Zone 2, Mountain Gate 11 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 XI11 D provides that only special benefits are assessable and the City must separate the general benefits from the special benefits. B. BENEFIT ANALYSIS The improvements within the District, the associated costs and assessments have been carefully reviewed, identified and allocated based on special benefit pursuant to the provisions of the 1972 Act and the Constitution. All improvements associated with the District have been identified as necessary, required and/or desired for the orderly development of the properties within the "Mountain Gate II" development to their full potential, consistent with the proposed development plans and applicable portions of the City General Plan. 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 should reasonably be the financial obligation of those properties. Therefore, the improvements and the annual costs of ensuring the maintenance and operation of the improvements are considered a direct and special benefit to all residential properties within the District. The method of apportionment (method of assessment) described herein is based on the premise that each assessed parcel within the District receives special benefit from the improvements and the desirability and security of each property is enhanced by the presence of well-maintained landscaping in close proximity to those properties. The special benefits to properties within the District associated with the landscape 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. 174 City of Palm Springs, Parkway Maintenance District No. 10, Zone 2—Engineer's Report Page 5 City of Palm Springs—Engineer's Report Parkway Maintenance District No. 10, Zone 2, Mountain Gate I/ C. ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY The landscape improvements installed in connection with the development of residential properties within Tracts 32028-1 and 32028 ("Mountain Gate II") and will be maintained by the District shall be fairly distributed among all benefiting parcels based upon the special benefit received by each parcel. The District is comprised of 196 residential parcels and various private streets, public easements and open space areas. While the various private streets, public easements and open space areas within the Mountain Gate II development may be assigned an Assessor's Parcel Number by the County Assessor's Office, it has been determined that these parcels (identified as letter lots on the approved tract maps) resulted from the planned development of the residential properties and these parcels receive no direct and special benefit from the improvements, in fact some of these parcels contain the landscaped areas to be maintained by the District as well as landscaped areas that will be maintained by the Homeowner's Association established for the Mountain Gate development. Since the improvements to be maintained by the District have been installed and constructed in conjunction with the development of all residential parcels within Tracts 32028-1 and 32028, it has been determined that each and every residential parcel within the development shall be assessed for the net annual costs associated with the ongoing maintenance of those improvements. While it is evident that all residential properties within the District receive special benefit, it is also recognized that in this particular development, the residential parcels directly adjacent to the improvements have enhanced benefits resulting from their proximity to the improvements. Specifically, twenty-one (21) parcels (Lots 29 through 38 of Tract 32028; and Lots 81 through 91 of Tract 32028-1) are directly adjacent to the landscape improvements, which slope up from the backyards of these properties to the Highway 111 (the improvements are at a higher elevation). This physical relationship to the improvements provides these properties expanded green space behind their homes that provide a visual enhancement to the property; improved erosion and dust control; and increased temperature moderation resulting from the trees and irrigation. While factors such as temperature moderation versus distance are measurable values for determining variances in special benefit, other factors such as enhanced visual benefit tend to be more subjective. However it is reasonable to conclude that collectively, these enhanced benefits associated with properties adjacent to the improvements are appropriately represented by an estimated ten percent (10%) increase in their special benefit as compared to the other residential properties within Annexation No. 1. Therefore, in order to apportion special benefit to all parcels within the District, a weighted method of apportionment known as an Equivalent Benefit Unit (EBU) methodology has been utilized to calculate a corresponding and equitable assessment for each parcel. It has been determined that all residential parcels within the development that are not immediately adjacent to the improvements receives similar and equal special benefit from the improvements and have been assigned a weighted allocation of one (1.0) EBU. As previously noted, it has also been determined that the residential parcel immediately adjacent to the improvements receive approximately a 10% greater special benefit than the other residential parcels within the development, and each of these parcels has been assigned a weighted allocation of one and one-tenth (1.1) EBU. Parcels identified as private streets; public easements and open space areas have been assigned a zero (0.0) EBU. Based on these weighted factors, an assessment rate (rate per EBU) for the District is calculated by taking the Total Net Cost to be assessed ("Balance to Levy"), then dividing that amount by the Total Number of EBU's assigned to all parcels within the District. Total Balance to Levy!Total EBU = Levy per EBU (assessment rate) The assessment amount for each parcel is calculated by multiplying the assessment rate ("Levy per EBU") by the EBU assigned to each parcel. 175 City of Palm Springs, Parkway Maintenance District No. 10, Zone 2—Engineer's Report Page 6 City of Palm Springs—Engineer's Report Parkway Maintenance District No. 10, Zone 2, Mountain Gate 11 Levy per EBU x Each Parcel's Individual EBU = Parcel Levy Amount Since each residential parcel not immediately adjacent to the improvements has been assigned 1.0 EBU, the assessment obligation for each these residential parcels will be equal to the annual assessment rate. Since each residential parcel immediately adjacent to the improvements has been assigned 1.1 EBU, the assessment obligation for each residential of these parcels will be equal to 1.1 times the annual assessment rate. D. ASSESSMENT 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 approved by the voters in the area where the assessment is imposed." This definition and conditions were later confirmed through Senate Bill 919 (Proposition 218 implementing legislation). An Assessment Range Formula was included as part of the original formation of the District. The purpose of establishing the Assessment Range Formula is to provide for reasonable increases and inflationary adjustment to annual costs and assessments without requiring costly noticing and mailing procedures, which could add to the costs and assessments. An original maximum assessment amount of $103,841 was established for the first fiscal year 2005/2006 this District was formed (the Initial Maximum Assessment). Future District Reports will identify as pan:of the District Budget an Adjusted Maximum Assessment Rate in accordance with the Assessment Range Formula for each subsequent fiscal year. The Assessment Range Formula for this District is generally defined: • If the proposed annual assessment for the upcoming fiscal year is less than or equal to the adjusted Maximum Assessment Rate, then the proposed annual assessment is not considered an increased assessment. The Maximum Assessment Rate is equal to the Initial Maximum Assessment Rate of $103,841 established in fiscal year 2005/2006, adjusted annually by the annual percentage change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) of`All Urban Consumers"for the Los Angeles-Orange-Riverside County Area. The CPI used for establishing subsequent Maximum Assessment Rates shall be for the annual percentage change from the most current month published by the U. S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics; at the time the Engineer's Report for the District is prepared. Beginning with the second fiscal year (fiscal year 2006/2007) and each fiscal year thereafter, the Maximum Assessment Rate will be recalculated and a new Adjusted Maximum Assessment Rate will be established for the fiscal year utilizing the Assessment Range Formula described above. The Maximum Assessment Rate shall be calculated independent of the annual budget and proposed assessment. The annual percentage change in CPI shall be based on the annual percentage change established by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. Should the Bureau of Labor Statistics revise such index or discontinue the preparation of such index, the City shall use the revised index or comparable system as approved by the City Council for determining fluctuations in the cost of living. Y76 1 Zone 2—Engineer's Report Pa e 7 City of Palm Springs, Parkway Maintenance District No 0, Zo g p g City of Palm Springs—Engineer's Report Parkway Maintenance District No. 10, Zone 2, Mountain Gate 11 Any proposed annual assessment less than or equal to the 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. To impose a new or increased assessment other than the annual inflationary adjustment provided by the preceding Assessment Range Formula, the City must comply with the provisions of the California Constitution Article XIIID Section 4c, that requires a public hearing and certain protest procedures including mailed notice of the public hearing and property owner protest balloting. Property owners through the balloting process must approve a proposed new or increased assessment before any such assessment may be imposed. 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. Electrical energy costs: Energy costs included are those necessary for the operation of irrigation controls. 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. 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. Reserve Fund: In addition to the estimated annual maintenance expenditures and administrative costs, the 1972 Act provides for the annual collection of funds to be retained in a Reserve Fund. These funds are collected and retained for the purpose of funding the operation and maintenance of the improvements from the beginning of the fiscal year (July 1) until such time the assessment proceeds are received from the County which is generally in January or February (Operational Reserves). The funds may also be used to offset unforeseen maintenance expenditures (revenue deficits) as well as funds retained as 1 City of Palm Springs, Parkway Maintenance District No. 10, Zone 2—Engineer's Report Page 8 City of Palm Springs-Engineer's Report Parkway Maintenance District No. 10, Zone Z Mountain Gate Il surplus revenues from the previous fiscal year. The amount retained in the Reserve Fund typically should not exceed an amount greater than the operational reserve requirements described above. B.

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") Landscape Maintenance District No. 12 (hereinafter referred to as the "District"), for fiscal year 2017/2018, in compliance with the requirements of Chapter 3, of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 (hereinafter referred to as the "Act")which is part 2, Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code 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 landscape maintenance within the District's boundaries. This report is prepared for the levy and collection of annual assessments for District 12 for fiscal year 2017/2018. 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. B. OVERVIEW The District described in this report contains all lots and parcels of land within the commercial development identified as the "SMOKE TREE COMMONS", designated as Parcel Map No. 34289 (hereafter referred to as the "PM 34289"), located generally east of Sunrise Way, at the southwest corner of East Palm Canyon Drive and Barona Road. and encompasses an area of land totaling approximately eighteen acres(18.10 acres) The City proposes to annually levy and collect special assessments to continue the maintenance of the improvements within the District. Assessments within the District are proposed to be levied annually, pursuant to the Landscape and Lighting Act of 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 194 City of Palm Springs, Landscape Maintenance District No. 12-Engineer's Report Page 1 City of Palm Springs—Engineer's Report Landscape Maintenance District No. 12, SMOKE TREE COMMONS 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 Report describes the District and the proposed assessments for fiscal year 2017/2018. 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 A. DESCRIPTION OF THE DISTRICT Landscape Maintenance District No. 12 ("Smoke Tree Commons"), consists of the commercial development area identified as the "Smoke Tree Commons", generally located east of Sunrise Way, at the southwest corner of East Palm Canyon Drive and Barona Road, consisting of Parcels 1-6 of Parcel Map No. 34289 (hereafter referred to as the "PM 34289"). The District includes 6 commercial parcels, and encompasses an area of land totaling approximately eighteen acres (18.10 acres). The purpose of the District is to ensure the ongoing maintenance and servicing of landscape improvements installed in connection with development of properties within the District. This District will provide the financial mechanism (annual assessments) by which the ongoing operation and maintenance of these improvements will be funded. The District structure, proposed improvements, method of apportionment and assessments described in this Report are based on current development and improvement plans including all estimated direct expenditures, incidental expenses, and reserves associated with the maintenance and servicing of the improvements. B. DESCRIPTION OF IMPROVEMENTS AND SERVICES The purpose of this District is to ensure the ongoing maintenance, operation and servicing of landscape improvements established or installed in connection with development of commercial properties within Smoke Tree Commons - PM 34289. These improvements may include, but are not limited to, ground cover, shrubs, trees, plants, irrigation and drainage systems, ornamental lighting structures, entryway monuments, hardscapes and associated appurtenant facilities totaling approximately 7,060 square feet of surface area within the median islands on East Palm Canyon Drive adjacent to PM 34289. The maintenance of the District improvements generally include, but are not limited to all materials, equipment, utilities, labor and incidental expenses including administrative expenses for annual operation of the District as well as the performance of occasional repairs, replacement and expanded maintenance activities associated with those improvements. Detailed maps and descriptions of the location and extent of the proposed improvements to be maintained by the District are on file at the City and by reference are made part of this Report. The estimated annual cost to provide and maintain the improvements within the District shall be allocated to each property in proportion to the special benefits received. The Method of Apportionment described in this Report utilizes commonly accepted assessment engineering practices and has been established pursuant to the 1972 Act and the provisions of Proposition 218. 1 5 City of Palm Springs, Landscape Maintenance District No. 12-Engineer's Report Page 2 City of Palm Springs—Engineer's Report Landscape Maintenance District No. 12, SMOKE TREE COMMONS Improvements and Services Permitted Pursuant to the 1972 Act As generally defined by the 1972 Act and applicable to this District, improvements and the associated assessments may include one or more of the following: 1) The installation or planting of landscaping; 2) The installation or construction of statuary, fountains, and other ornamental structures and facilities; 3) The installation or construction of public lighting facilities including, but not limited to, street lights and traffic signals; 4) The installation of park or recreational improvements including, but not limited to, all of the following: a) Land preparation, such as grading, leveling, cutting and filling, sod, landscaping, irrigation systems, sidewalks, and drainage; b) Lights, playground equipment, play courts, and public restrooms; c) The acquisition of land for park, recreational, or open-space purposes; 5) The installation or construction of any facilities which are appurtenant to any of the foregoing or which are necessary or convenient for the maintenance or servicing thereof; 6) The acquisition of any associated existing improvement; 7) The maintenance or servicing of any of the foregoing including the furnishing of services and materials for the ordinary and usual maintenance, operation, and servicing of any improvement including, but not limited to: a) Repair, removal, or replacement of all or any part of any improvements; b) Grading, clearing, removal of debris, the installation or construction of curbs, gutters, walls, sidewalks, or paving, or water, irrigation, drainage, or electrical facilities; c) Providing for the life, growth, health, and beauty of landscaping, including cultivation, irrigation, trimming, spraying, fertilizing, or treating for disease or injury; d) The removal of trimmings, rubbish, debris, and other solid waste; e) The cleaning, sandblasting, and painting of walls and other improvements to remove or cover graffiti; f) Electric current or energy, gas, or other illuminating agent for any public lighting facilities or for the lighting or operation of any other improvements; g) Water for the irrigation of any landscaping, the operation of any fountains, or the maintenance of any other improvements; 8) Incidental expenses associated with the improvements including, but not limited to: a) The cost of preparation of the report, including plans, specifications, estimates, diagram, and assessment; b) The costs of printing, advertising, and the publishing, posting and mailing of notices; c) Compensation payable to the County for collection of assessments; d) Compensation of any engineer or attorney employed to render services; 196 City of Palm Springs, Landscape Maintenance District No. 12- Engineer's Report Page 3 City of Palm Springs—Engineer's Report Landscape Maintenance District No. 12, SMOKE TREE COMMONS e) Any other expenses incidental to the construction, installation, or maintenance and servicing of the improvements; and, f) Costs associated with any elections held for the approval of a new or increased assessment. Landscaping Improvements The landscape improvements may include, but are not limited to, all landscaping material and irrigation 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 method of apportionment described in this Report for allocation of special benefit assessments utilizes commonly accepted engineering practices and have been established pursuant to the 1972 Act and the provisions of the California Constitution. 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 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. 197 City of Palm Springs, Landscape Maintenance District No. 12-Engineer's Report Page 4 City of Palm Springs—Engineer's Report Landscape Maintenance District No. 12, SMOKE TREE COMMONS The method of apportionment (also referred to as the "method of assessment") established herein is based on the premise that each assessed parcel within the District receives special benefits from the improvements, and the desirability, security and business opportunities of those properties are enhanced by the presence of well-maintained landscaping in close proximity to those properties. In accordance with Article XIIID, Section 4 of the California Constitution: "Special benefit means a particular and distinct benefit over and above general benefits conferred on real property located in the District or to the public at large." The special benefits associated with all landscape improvements are specifically: ■ Enhanced desirability of properties through association with the improvements; ■ Improved aesthetic appeal of properties providing a positive representation of the area; ■ Improved ingress and egress to property which enhances traffic circulation resulting in reduced accidents and personal property loss and increased customer access; and, ■ Enhanced adaptation of the urban environment within the natural environment from adequate green space, open space areas and landscaping, providing enhanced environmental quality of the parcels by moderating temperatures, attenuating noise and improved dust and debris control. ■ Environmental enhancement through improved erosion resistance, dust and debris control, and fire prevention; ■ Enhanced environmental quality of the parcels by moderating temperatures, providing oxygenation and attenuating noise. ■ Enhanced business opportunities and commercial growth that is facilitated by a well maintained area that aides in attracting customers. ■ Reduced criminal activity and property-related crimes (especially vandalism) through well-maintained surroundings and amenities near and adjacent to the assessed properties, including abatement of graffiti. 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 Generally, the benefit formula used to determine the assessment obligation for each parcel should be based upon both the improvements that benefit the parcels, as well as the use of each property as compared to other parcels that benefit from those improvements. The most common approach to proportionately allocating improvement costs to the benefiting properties for maintenance districts including 1972 Act districts utilize a methodology often referred to as an "Equivalent Benefit Unit ("EBU") method of apportionment. This method of apportionment may utilize various property characteristics such as development status, type of development (land-use), and size (units or acreage) to compare the proportional benefit of each property compared to other properties that benefit from the improvements. Because $ City of Palm Springs, Landscape Maintenance District No. 12-Engineer's Report Page 5 City of Palm Springs-Engineer's Report Landscape Maintenance District No. 12, SMOKE TREE COMMONS the improvements to be maintained for this District directly benefit the overall Smoketree Commons - PM 34289 development and the overall use of the properties within this development are relatively similar (commercial use), it has been determined that Equivalent Benefit Units for each parcel are appropriately reflected by the acreage of each parcel. Therefore for purposes of establishing a maximum assessment (maximum assessment rate per EBU) for each property within this District, each parcel's net or useable acreage (including parking lot area) provides a common denominator that reflects each parcel's proportional special benefit from the improvements compared to other properties in the District. The net or useable development acreage for each parcel shall generally be based on parcel acreage information obtained from the Riverside County Assessor's Office secured roll or Assessor's Parcel Map. However, because the boundaries of PM 34289 and the District incorporates only a portion of some of the existing Assessor Parcel Numbers that comprise the District and also includes portions of the existing street right-of-ways that are not currently assigned an APN, the following table provides a listing of the estimated net or usable development acreage (EBU) assigned to the existing Assessor Parcel Numbers within the District along with their current acreage. The total EBU of all parcels within the District is equal to the 18.10 acres identified for PM 34289. Estimated Current Net Acreage APN Acreage (EBU) 510-020-034 9.11 7.00 510-020-041 0.81 0.90 Estimated 510-020-042 0.65 0.70 Lot Net Building 510-020-043 0.25 0.25 Designation Acreage Sq.

The Assessor Parcel Numbers shown above have been renumbered with each of the designated lots being assigned a new Assessor Parcel Number by the Riverside County Assessor's Office. D. ASSESSMENT FORMULA The total number of Equivalent Benefit Units (EBUs) is the sum of all individual EBUs applied to parcels that receive a special benefit from the improvement. An assessment amount per EBU (Rate) for the improvements is established by taking the total net annual cost of the improvement ("Balance to Levy") and dividing that amount by the total number of EBUs of the benefiting parcels. This Rate is then applied back to each parcel's individual EBU to determine the parcel's proportionate benefit and assessment obligation for the 199 City of Palm Springs, Landscape Maintenance District No. 12-Engineer's Report Page 6 City of Palm Springs—Engineer's Report Landscape Maintenance District No. 12, SMOKE TREE COMMONS improvements. The following formulas are used to calculate each parcel's maximum and annual assessments (proportional benefit): Total Balance to Levy/Total EBU = Levy Rate per EBU Levy Rate per EBU x Parcel EBU (assigned acreage)= Parcel Levy Amount It is recognized that most budget items will be impacted by inflation in subsequent years. In an effort to minimize this impact, a formula for an inflation adjustment is included as part of the maximum assessment to be approved by the property owners. The formula as described below allows for annual adjustments to budget and the assessments. Generally, 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 approved by the voters in the area where the assessment is imposed." The purpose of establishing an Assessment Range Formula is to provide for reasonable increases and inflationary adjustment to annual costs and assessments without requiring costly noticing and mailing procedures, which could add to the costs and assessments. As part of this District formation, a maximum assessment for fiscal year 2008/2009 (initial maximum assessment rate) has been established, and this initial maximum assessment rate shall be adjusted each subsequent fiscal year by the Assessment Range Formula described below: The Maximum Assessment Rate allowed each fiscal year (Adjusted Maximum Assessment Rate) shall be based on the initial Maximum Assessment Rate established in fiscal year 2008/2009, adjusted annually by the annual percentage change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for "All Urban Consumers" in the Los Angeles-Orange- Riverside County Area. ❖ Each fiscal year the percentage change in CPI shall be applied to the Maximum Assessment Rate established in the previous fiscal year to calculate the authorized Adjusted Maximum Assessment Rate for the upcoming fiscal year. The percentage change in CPI shall be based on the annual percentage change from the most current month published by the U. S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics; at the time the Engineer's Report for the District is prepared. ❖ If the proposed annual assessment rate (levy per EBU) for the upcoming fiscal year is less than or equal to the Adjusted Maximum Assessment Rate, then the proposed annual assessment is not considered an increased assessment. Beginning in the second fiscal year (fiscal year 2009/2010) and each fiscal year thereafter, the Maximum Assessment Rate will be recalculated and a new Maximum Assessment Rate shall be established for the fiscal year utilizing the Assessment Range Formula described above. The Maximum Assessment Rate shall be calculated independent of the annual budget and proposed assessment. The annual percentage change in CPI shall be based on the annual percentage change established by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. Should the Bureau of Labor Statistics revise such index or discontinue the preparation of such index, the City shall use the revised index or comparable system as approved by the City Council for determining fluctuations in the cost of living. To impose a new or increased assessment other than the annual inflationary adjustment provided by the preceding Assessment Range Formula, the City must comply with the provisions of the California Constitution Article XIIID Section 4c, that requires a public 200 City of Palm Springs, Landscape Maintenance District No. 12-Engineer's Report Page 7 City of Palm Springs—Engineer's Report Landscape Maintenance District No. 12, SMOKE TREE COMMONS hearing and certain protest procedures including mailed notice of the public hearing and property owner protest balloting. Property owners through the balloting process must approve the proposed new or increased assessment before any such assessment may be imposed. 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 approved by the voters in the area where the assessment is imposed." This definition and conditions were later confirmed through Senate Bill 919 (Proposition 218 implementing legislation). The Assessment 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 Maximum Assessment, then the proposed annual assessment is not considered an increased assessment, even if the proposed assessment is greater than the assessment applied in the prior fiscal year. The Maximum Assessment is equal to the previous historical maximum assessment, assessed to the District prior to passage of Proposition 218. If the budget and assessments calculated requires an increase greater than the Maximum Assessment, then the assessment is considered an increased assessment and would be subject to property owner protest balloting in accordance with Proposition 218 (California Constitution Articles XIIIC and XIIID). 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: Landscape 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 landscaping to be maintained is based upon actual Desert Water Agency billings on publicly landscaped areas being maintained within the District. Electrical energy costs: Energy costs included are those necessary for the operation of irrigation controls. Incidental costs: These are costs for special items, such as costs of levying the assessments with the County Tax Collector, anticipated utility rate increases, or other such costs, and 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. 201 City of Palm Springs, Landscape Maintenance District No. 12-Engineer's Report Page 8 City of Palm Springs—Engineer's Report Landscape Maintenance District No. 12, SMOKE TREE COMMONS 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. 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. B.
