5. Authorize the City Clerk to file the confirmed Engineer's Reports for Street
Lighting Maintenance Districts No. 1 and 2; and to file the associated levy of
assessments with the Riverside County Auditor.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
In accordance with the Streets and Highways Code of the State of California, the City is
required to prepare Engineer's Reports on the annual costs to operate and maintain
improvements within the City's various Street Lighting or Parkway Maintenance
Districts. On June 15, 2005, the City Engineer filed the preliminary Engineer's Reports
with the City Clerk, which were preliminarily approved by the City Council, regarding the
levy and collection of annual assessments within the following two Street Lighting
Maintenance Districts:
1. Street Lighting Maintenance District No. 1 (Belardo Road Area - 165 Properties)
2. Street Lighting Maintenance District No. 2 (McManus Drive - 25 Properties)
These two Maintenance Districts were formed under the Street Lighting Act of 1931,
which only require the filing of an annual Engineer's Report for the levy and collection of
assessments within the District. A Public Hearing is only required every five years in
order to continue the maintenance of improvements within those Districts. Last year, a
Public Hearing was conducted, in conjunction with property owner protest balloting
election, to attempt to increase existing assessments within these two Districts so that
expenses would not continue to exceed revenues; the elections failed. Therefore, in
accordance with the Street Lighting Act of 1931, a Public Hearing need not be
scheduled for these two Districts until July 2009.
As indicated in the June 15, 2005, staff report to City Council, these two Street Lighting
Maintenance Districts are operating with a deficit; expenses have exceed revenues
generated by assessments levied within these Districts. Specifically, the following was
identified by the Engineer's Reports filed with the City Clerk:
CY .h7"
City Council Staff Report
July 20. 2005— Page 3
Annual Levy of Assessments for SLID No. 1 and 2
Street Lighting Maintenance District No. 1:
Account status as of June 30, 2004: ($18,218) — deficit condition
2005/2006 estimated annual cost: $8,398
Maximum allowable assessment: $9,027
Although current costs do not exceed the allowable assessment, the improvements
within this District are continually failing, as the lighting system was constructed almost
40 years ago, and replacing or repairing the aging system is impossible due to an
inability to find replacement parts that are compatible to the system. As this District has
an existing deficit, there is no surplus of funds available by which a new lighting system
may be design and installed. Eventually, this system will become defunct, and unless a
neighborhood initiated request to self-fund its replacement occurs, this District will
require dissolution at the time when the system fails.
Street Lighting Maintenance District No. 2:
Account status as of June 30, 2004: ($7,320) — deficit condition
2005/2006 estimated annual cost: $5,175
Maximum allowable assessment: $4,250
Current costs exceed the allowable assessment, continuing the current operation and
maintenance of the lighting system in this District requires a subsidy of General Fund
revenues. Over time, the current deficit in this District will continue to grow, and there
will be no funds available for replacement of the improvements in this District.
FISCAL IMPACT:
As identified in the June 15, 2005, staff report, there are essentially three alternatives
available to City Council:
1. Approve and confirm the Engineer's Reports as submitted, which will facilitate
the continued operation and maintenance of improvements within these two
Street Lighting Maintenance Districts. This alternative continues minimal
maintenance of existing lighting improvements within Street Lighting
Maintenance District No. 1, but not major system replacement; and requires the
continued subsidy of $925 in General Fund revenue for Street Lighting
Maintenance District No. 2.
2. Proceed with Alternative 1, but direct the City Engineer to schedule Property
Owner Protest Ballot Proceedings for fiscal year 2006/2007 for a second attempt
to address increased assessments for these two Street Lighting Maintenance
Districts.
3. Direct the City Engineer to amend the Engineer's Reports to discontinue
maintaining the lighting improvements maintained within these two Street
Lighting Maintenance Districts, which would dissolve and abandon these
City Council Staff Report
July 20. 2005— Page 4
Annual Levy of Assessments for SLMD No. 1 and 2
Maintenance Districts. Previous staff review of alternatives revealed that a
partial reduction in service to these Districts is not possible.
Adoption of the proposed resolutions will facilitate option 1, and continue the current
level of maintenance in these two Street Lighting Maintenance Districts, facilitating the
operation of the existing street lighting system within Street Lighting Maintenance
District No. 1 ("Belardo Road Area") to an extent governed by the practical availability of
materials, but not including wholesale replacement of lighting fixtures and systems; and
a continued subsidy of General Fund revenues for Street Lighting Maintenance District
No. 2 ("McManus Drive").

City of Palm Springs—Engineer's Report
Street Lighting Maintenance District No.1, Belardo Road Area
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A. INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this Engineer's Report (hereinafter referred to as the "Report") is to set forth
the engineering analysis and findings for the levy of assessments in the City of Palm
Springs (hereinafter referred to as the "City") Street Lighting Maintenance District No. 1,
"Belardo Road Area", (hereinafter referred to as the "District"), for fiscal year 2005-2006, in
compliance with the requirements of the Street Lighting Act of 1931 (hereinafter referred to
as the "1931 Act") which is Part 2 of Division 14 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,
but not limited to street lighting, within the District's boundaries.
This report is prepared for the levy and collection of annual assessments for the District for
fiscal year 2005-2006.
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.

City of Palm Springs—Engineer's Report
Street Lighting Maintenance District No.1, Belardo Road Area
B. OVERVIEW
The District described in this report contains parcels of land within the area referred to as
the "Belardo Road Area".
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 pursuant to the provisions of the Street Lighting Act of 1931, Division
14, Part 2 of the Streets and Highways Code.
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 2005-2006.
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, identified as the "Belardo Road Area", is generally located within the area
between Tahquitz Canyon Way on the north, Tahquitz Drive on the west, Belardo Road on
the east, and Baristo Road on the south.
The purpose of the District is to ensure the ongoing maintenance, operation and servicing of
local street lighting and electrical improvements installed 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 existing improvement plans and 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
street lighting improvements within the District. These improvements may include, but are
not limited to, all materials, equipment, utilities, labor and appurtenant facilities related to
those improvements. The improvements are installed and are to be maintained and funded
entirely or partially through the District assessments and generally include the following:
Street lighting facilities located within the "Belardo Road Area"; and
Lighting Maintenance District No.I- Engineer's Report Page 2
City of Palm Springs—Engineer's Report
Street Lighting Maintenance District No.1, Belardo Road Area
All appurtenant facilities, equipment, materials and utilities related to the aforementioned
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 used in this Report utilizes commonly accepted assessment engineering
practices.
Public Street Lighting and Electrical Improvements
The street lighting and electrical improvements may include, but are not limited to, electrical
energy, lighting fixtures, poles, meters, conduits, electrical cable and associated
appurtenant facilities associated with:
All street lighting within the Street Lighting Maintenance District No.1 ("Belardo Road Area").
METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT
A. GENERAL
The method 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 the estimated benefit to each parcel.

benefit conferred nthatparcel. Only speciall beneftslare oassessable anpd the City mustseparate 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 properties within the District to their full potential, consistent with the City's
General plan. The ongoing operation, servicing and maintenance of these improvements
would be the financial obligation of the 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.
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.
I ,r'v!d
Lighting Maintenance District No.I- Engineer's Report Page 3
City of Palm Springs—Engineer's Report
Street Lighting Maintenance District No.1, Belardo Road Area
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 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 or proposed 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.
Proper maintenance and operation of the street lighting system benefits all properties by
enhancing overall safety, mitigating crime, alleviating the fear of crime, and enhancing
pedestrian safety.
The street lighting located within the "Belardo Road Area" provides 100% special and direct
benefit to all properties within the District. The benefits of the street lighting improvements
are directly related to the positive enhancement of the area, increasing property desirability.
Therefore 100% of the costs of the operation and maintenance of the street lighting
improvements within the District shall be apportioned to each parcel based on the parcel's
size.
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 of the street lighting
and electrical improvements within the District, actual costs are used whenever 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 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.

Street Lighting Maintenance District No. 2, McManus Drive
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A. INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this Engineer's Report (hereinafter referred to as the "Report") is to set forth
the engineering analysis and findings for the levy of assessments in the City of Palm
Springs (hereinafter referred to as the "City") Street Lighting Maintenance District No. 2,
"McManus Drive", (hereinafter referred to as the "District"), for fiscal year 2005-2006, in
compliance with the requirements of the Street Lighting Act of 1931 (hereinafter referred to
as the "1931 Act") which is Part 2 of Division 14 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
but not limited to street lighting, within the District's boundaries.
This report is prepared for the levy and collection of annual assessments for the District for
fiscal year 2005-2006.
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.

City of Palm Springs—Engineer's Report
Street Lighting Maintenance District No. 2, McManus Drive
B. OVERVIEW
The District described in this report contains parcels of land within the residential area
generally located along McManus Drive between Saturmino Drive and Sunset Way,
consisting of Lots 96-121 of the Map of"Desert Palm Estates"
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 pursuant to the provisions of the Street Lighting Act of 1931, Division
14, Part 2 of the Streets and Highways Code.
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 Dwelling Unit 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 2005-06.
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 contains 25 parcels of land (26 individual lots) within the
residential area generally located along McManus Drive between Saturmino Drive and
Sunset Way, consisting of Lots 96-121 of the Map of"Desert Palm Estates".
The purpose of the District is to ensure the ongoing maintenance, operation and servicing of
local street lighting and electrical improvements 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 existing improvement plans and 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
street lighting and electrical improvements within the District. These improvements may
include, but are not limited to, all materials, equipment, utilities, labor and appurtenant
facilities related to those improvements. The proposed improvements installed as part of the
development and to be maintained and funded entirely or partially through the District
assessments generally include the following:
Street lighting facilities located along McManus Drive; and
City of Palm Springs, Lighting Maintenance District No. 2 Page 2
City of Palm Springs—Engineer's Report
Street Lighting Maintenance District No. 2, McManus Drive
All appurtenant facilities, equipment, materials and utilities related to the aforementioned
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 used in this Report utilizes commonly accepted assessment engineering
practices.
Public Street Lighting and Electrical Improvements
The street lighting and electrical improvements may include, but are not limited to, electrical
energy, lighting fixtures, poles, meters, conduits, electrical cable and associated
appurtenant facilities associated with:
All street lighting within the Street Lighting Maintenance District No.2 ("McManus Drive").
METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT
A. GENERAL
The method 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.
A parcel's assessment may not exceed the reasonable cost of the proportional special
benefit conferred on that parcel. 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 orderly development of the properties within the District to their full
potential, consistent with the proposed 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.
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;
City of Palm Springs, Lighting Maintenance District No. 2 Page 3
City of Palm Springs—Engineer's Report
Street Lighting Maintenance District No. 2, McManus Drive
• 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 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 system benefits all properties by
enhancing overall safety, mitigating crime, alleviating the fear of crime, and enhancing
pedestrian safety.
The street lighting located on McManus Drive 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. The
benefits are the same for all lots but one parcel (No. 502-034-019) consists of 2 lots,
therefore the assessment for this parcel is double.
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 the improvements are new, or where actual maintenance
experience is lacking, cost estimates will be used to determine costs, as follows:
Street light energv 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 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.
