AN ASSESSMENT OF THE ESTIMATED COSTS OF THE IMPROVEMENTS. The assessment shall refer to the new fiscal year and shall do all of the following: a. State the net amount to be assessed upon the assessable lands within the Assessment District. -2- b. Describe each assessable lot or parcel of land within the Assessment District. Due to the large number of parcels within the Assessment District, the City uses the assessor's parcel number from San Diego County records assessment rolls for a description of the lots. A copy of the assessment roll including such description is kept on file at the City Engineering Department. c. Assess the net amount upon all assessable lots or parcels of land within the Assessment District by apportioning that amount among the several lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each lot or parcel from the improvements. PART 1 -STREET LIGHTING IMPROVEMENT ZONE PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS: The improvement work consists of maintenance and servicing of the 6,295 street lights within the boundaries of the Assessment District including all supporting poles, mast arms, pull boxes, wiring, conduits and other appurtenances. The total number of street lights maintained and serviced includes 157 new street lights added to the street light inventory during Fiscal Year 2001-2002. The general location of the street light improvements are as shown on the City's full scale map titled "Street Lighting Improvement Zone Diagram and Lighting Facilities Location Map for Fiscal Year 2002-2003" on file at the Engineering Department. A reduced copy of the map is included as Figure 1 in this report. DIAGRAM OF THE ASSESSMENT DISTRICT: The diagram of the Assessment District is as shown on the City's full scale map titled "Street Lighting Improvement Zone Diagram and Lighting Facilities Location Map for Fiscal Year 2002-2003 on file at the Engineering Department.

The lines and dimensions of each lot or parcel within the Street Lighting Improvement Zone and the distinctive file at the Engineering Department. assessor's parcel number is shown on the San Diego County Assessor's map which is also on ESTIMATE OF THE COST OF THE IMPROVEMENTS: The estimated total cost of maintaining and servicing the City's inventory of public street lighting improvements is $1,139,441. The estimated total cost includes the furnishing of all services and materials for the ordinary and usual operation, maintenance and servicing of installed street lights and the provision of electric current. For budgetary purposes, the costs are segregated into three categories of Personnel, Maintenance and Operations, and Capital Improvements. These three categories include the following services and expenditures: City staff assigned to Street Lighting services, City administration (annual audit of City's street lighting assessment, updating expenditures and segregation of the assessments) engineering and legal expenses, coordination between citizens and City staff for the maintenance of City street lights, providing expertise to City inspectors during inspection of lighting systems, coordinating underground service alert mark-outs for various City departments, performing mark-outs for street light systems, maintaining as-built records of City street light system for future maintenance, monthly updating of the street lighting mapping and inventory database, performing routine night surveillance, checking proposed improvement plans for conformance with City standards regarding street lights, coordinating with Planning, Engineering and Engineer's of Work to ensure that departmental needs are met, the provision of electrical current and the cost for purchase of capital equipment and new street light facilities. -3- The following table shows the breakdown of the estimated total costs into the three budgetary categories. TOTAL ESTIMATED FY 2002-03 STREET LIGHTING MAINTENANCE &SERVICE COSTS Personnel $1,139,441 Total Cost Estimate 0 Capital Improvements $ 952,811 Maintenance & Operations $ 186,630 The net assessable amount to be levied upon the assessable lands within the Assessment District is $706,609.04. This amount is derived by subtracting the amounts of the current improvement fund surplus and contributions from other funding sources from the total cost estimate. The following table shows how the net assessable amount is derived: FY 2002-03 NET ASSESSABLE AMOUNT I Total Cost Estimate 1 $1,139,441.00 I Less Contribution for Services to Public Parcels $ 328,817.12 Improvement Fund Surplus $ 65,514.84 General Benefit Contribution from General Fund $ 38,500.00 Net Assessable Amount $ 706,609.04 The contribution for services to public parcels has been calculated at $38,500. This contribution is made since public parcels are non-assessable on the County tax rolls, The City's General Fund will contribute $28,000 and other Special Revenue Funds will contribute $10,500 for this purpose. Any share of the benefits received from an improvement that does not provide a special benefit to the assessed properties is considered to be a general benefit provided by the improvements. The cost of such general benefit is not to be assessed to the properties in the Assessment District, but instead is contributed by the City from the General Fund. For street lighting the City has determined that general benefit is derived exclusively along the City's arterial roads. The amount of general benefit is established by multiplying the number of arterial street lights by the difference between the average annual cost to maintain a light on an arterial street and a local street. The table below shows the calculation of the cost estimate for general benefit for Street Lights. -4- I Percent of General Benefit parcels 5.95% AN ASSESSMENT OF THE ESTIMATED COSTS OF THE IMPROVEMENTS: The lighting and the orderly circulation of traffic directly benefit the developments within the District. The improvements and annexation into the Street Lighting Zone are required for the approval of, The lighting is of benefit to abutting parcels as it provides increased property protection, and as a consequence of, new development, and thus benefit the respective developments. personal safety, visibility, traffic safety, and enhances those areas fronting upon the illuminated street. All of the parcels within the Assessment District are located within the City of Carlsbad and are approved developments or are in the final stages of obtaining approval for a proposed development. As a condition of approval, the developer is required by the City to provide certain standard street lighting for the entire area within the development and pay the energy fiscal year after the street lights are energized. costs for the initial 18-month period. The units in a development are assessed the following Two Zones of benefit have been created within the citywide Street Lighting Zone as follows: Zone 1 - City owned and maintained street lights Zone 2 - Undeveloped property - non-benefiting, not assessed Zone 1 consists of the following eight sub-codes. An example of these codes is included in Appendix B of this Engineer's Report. CODE AI' Street lights at intersections only (residential) 5- CODE B1* CODE C1* CODE Dl* CODE E2** CODE F2** CODE G2** CODE HI*** Street lights at intersections and mid-block (residential) Street light spacing at current City engineering standards (residential) City owned street lights on surrounding streets, private lighting within development (single-family residential, only adjacent City lights will be calculated for code assessment cost) Street light spacing at current City standard, condos and apartment buildings, ten units and above Street light spacing at current City standard, commercial and industrial parcels Special lighting and spacing standard, downtown redevelopment area Street light spacing at current City standard, time shares only * The unit rate of assessment for these codes was based on equal shares of cost of maintenance and operation of the total lights within each code at the time of formation. ** The unit rate of assessment for these codes at the time of formation was based on the share of cost of maintenance and operation of total lights as determined by front footage percentage of each parcel in relation to total footage within each code. The unit rate of assessment for this code at the time of formation was based on a flat rate per unit. *** The method of assessment for codes within Zone 1 is based on units as shown in the following table. In the case of codes AI, 61, C1, and Dl, a residential dwelling is equal to one benefit unit. In Code E2 condominium dwelling units or apartment buildings with ten units and above are assigned units based on the front footage of these developments. In Code F2 commercial and industrial parcels are assigned units based on the front footage of these developments. Code G2 includes the downtown redevelopment area and units in this code are also based on front footage. Code HI only includes time share units, which are all assigned the same cost per unit. METHOD OF ASSESSMENT FOR STREET LIGHTING AI, B1, C1, Dl Residential dwelling unit = one benefit unit E2 F2 G2 Commercial, residential and redevelopment area = one front foot Of street frontage = one benefit unit HI Time shares = $0.20 per weekly unit The Street Lighting Zone assessments will not increase in Fiscal Year 2002-03, and will remain at the same unit rates as assessed in the last six fiscal years. All new assessor's parcels, that by petition of the property owner(s) have been added to the Street Lighting Zone, will be calculated at the same unit rates as used in the last six fiscal years. The rate per assessment unit for Fiscal Year 2002-03 in each of the eight codes is shown in the following table. For the specific assessment on each parcel, reference is made to the Assessment Roll on file at the Engineering Department, which is incorporated herein by this reference as though set forth in full. PART 2 - STREET TREE IMPROVEMENT ZONE PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS: The improvement work consists of maintenance to all of the approximately 15,000 trees in the public right-of-way, parks, open space areas, and trees at all City facilities. The maintenance consists of pruning, planting, removal and root pruning. The City annually responds to over 500 street tree orderhequests, removes over 50 trees and plants over 100 trees. The general location of the street tree improvements are as shown on the Year 2002-2003" on file at the Engineering Department.

ESTIMATE OF THE COST OF THE IMPROVEMENTS: The estimated total cost of maintaining and servicing the City's inventory of public street tree improvements is $727,159. The estimated total cost includes the furnishing of all services and materials for the ordinary and usual maintenance and servicing of street trees. For budgetary purposes, the costs are segregated into three categories of Personnel, Maintenance and Operations, and Capital Improvements. These three categories include the following services and expenditures: City staff assigned to Street Tree services, City administration (annual audit of City's street tree assessment, updating expenditures and segregation of the assessments) -7- engineering and legal expenses, coordination between citizens and City staff for the maintenance of City street trees, providing expertise to City inspectors during inspection of the trees, maintaining as-built records of City street tree system for future maintenance, monthly updating of the street tree mapping and inventory database, checking proposed improvement plans for conformance with City standards regarding street trees, coordinating with Planning, Engineering and Engineer's of Work to ensure that departmental needs are met, the provision of supplies such as pesticides, fertilizer and water for irrigation and the cost for purchase of capital equipment and new street trees. The following table shows the breakdown of the estimated total costs into the three budgetary categories. TOTAL ESTIMATED FY 2002-03 STREET TREE MAINTENANCE 8 SERVICE COSTS Personnel $ 342,917 Maintenance & Operations $ 384,242 $727,159 Total Cost Estimate 0 Capital Improvements The net assessable amount to be levied upon the assessable lands within the Assessment District is $459,700.28. This amount is derived by subtracting the amounts of the current improvement fund surplus and contributions from other funding sources from the total cost estimate. The following table shows how the net assessable amount is derived: FY 2002-03 NET ASSESSABLE AMOUNT I Total Cost Estimate $727,159.00 I Less Contribution for Services to Public Parcels General Benefit Contribution from General Fund $ 90,000.00 $ 139,547.76 Improvement Fund Surplus $ 37,910.96 Net Assessable Amount $ 459,700.28. The City has determined the contribution for services to public parcels amounting to $90,000, This contribution from the General Fund is made since public parcels, including City parks and Hosp Grove, are non-assessable on the County tax roils. Any share of the benefits received from an improvement that does not provide a special benefit to the assessed properties is considered to be a general benefit provided by the improvements. The cost of such general benefit is not to be assessed to the properties in the Assessment District, but instead is contributed by the City from the General Fund. For street trees, the City has determined that the general benefit is the same percentage as calculated for the Street Lighting Improvements. The table below shows the calculation of the contribution for general benefit for street trees. -8- FY 2002-03 GENERAL BENEFIT CALCULATION ~~~~~ Total Cost Estimate $ 37,910.96 General Benefit Contribution from General Fund @ 5.95% $637,159.00 Subtotal of Costs $ 90,000.00 Less Contribution for Services to Public Parcels $727,159.00 AN ASSESSMENT OF THE ESTIMATED COSTS OF THE IMPROVEMENTS: The City's existing street tree inventory is currently established at approximately 15,000 trees. From 1984 until Fiscal Year 2000-01, new development has not included street trees in the public right-of- way as part of required street improvements. After FY 2000-01, the conditions of approval for any subdivision in the Northwest Quadrant of the City included the planting of trees in the public Accordingly, the trees within new subdivisions will be added to the City's street tree right-of-way and annexation of the subdivision parcels to the Street Tree Improvement Zone. maintenance program and the parcels benefited will be assessed in following fiscal year. Street trees that are in the street right-of-way, are generally located between the curb and the Street Tree Improvement Zone receives approximately the same degree of benefit to their sidewalk andlor property line in the areas of the City as shown in Figure 2. Each property within equivalent dwelling unit (EDU) based on the average size of a single-family residential lot in the property. Therefore, staff established a benefit formula in which each zoned parcel is given an City of Carlsbad (7,500 square feet or 0.17 acres). Thus, each single-family parcel is given an EDU of 1.0, while most other parcels, as shown on the following table, are given assessments divided by 0.17 acres = EDUs. This formula was approved by City Council at the June 6, 1989 based on acreage to establish an EDU value based on the following formula: Acreage of parcel regular meeting. -9- STREET TREE BENEFIT UNITS AND LAND USE CODES Formula I 40 I Vacant industrial I I I Formula I 41 I Factory- light manufacturer I 0.0 I 90 I Vacant tax.

All new assessor's parcels, that by petition of the property owner(s) have been added to the Street Tree Improvement Zone, will be calculated at the same unit rate as used in the last six fiscal years. This unit assessment is applied to 13,871 parcels in the Street Tree Improvement Zone. The total number of EDUs for these parcels amounts to 12,734.08 EDUs. The revenue generated by these parcels amounts to $457,700.28 (12,734.08 EDUs times $36.1O/EDU). For the specific assessment on each parcel, reference is made to the Assessment Roll at the Engineering Department, which is incorporated herein by this reference as though set forth in full. PART 3 - MEDIAN LANDSCAPING IMPROVEMENT ZONE PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS: The Street Median program provides weekly landscape maintenance and litter control to all City medians and to Redevelopment Landscape improvement areas. It includes maintenance on a weekly basis of approximately 57 acres of landscaped medians and 8 acres of planter boxes, downtown fountain, landscape pockets and parking lots. Maintenance includes trash pick-up, weed control, pruning, planting, pesticide/fertilizer application, removals, replanting, irrigation repair/adjustment, and parking lot sweeping. A contractual median maintenance program provides for contracting, administering and overseeing median maintenance for approximately 52 acres of City medians. The general location of the median landscaping improvements are as shown on the City's full scale map titled "Street Median Improvement Zone Diagram and Median Facilities Location Map for Fiscal Year 2002-2003" on file at the Engineering Department. A reduced copy of the map is included as Figure 3 in this report.

This amount is derived by subtracting the amounts of the current improvement fund surplus and contributions from other funding sources from the total cost estimate. The following table shows how the net assessable amount is derived: FY 2002-03 NET ASSESSABLE AMOUNT I Total Cost Estimate $577,780.00 1 Less General Benefit Contribution from General Fund @ 5.95% $ 498,160.46 Net Assessable Amount $ 45,241.63 Improvement Fund Surplus $ 34,377.91 Any share of the benefits received from an improvement that does not provide a special benefit to the assessed properties is considered to be a general benefit provided by the improvements. The cost of such general benefit is not to be assessed to the properties in the Assessment District, but instead is contributed by the City from the General Fund. For median landscaping, the City has determined that the general benefit is the same percentage (5.95%) as calculated for the Street Lighting Improvements. AN ASSESSMENT OF THE ESTIMATED COSTS OF THE IMPROVEMENTS: The Median Landscaping Improvement Zone to be maintained in Fiscal Year 2002-03 includes two new areas on El Camino Real located north and south of College Boulevard. This brings the current landscaped and hardscaped medians. City-maintained street median acreage to a total of approximately 57 acres, which includes both This service generally benefits all parcels and residents within the City boundaries. Thus, all formula as in effect for the Street Tree Improvement Zone. City staff established the benefit parcels in the City boundary share in the cost of median maintenance using the same EDU formula in which each zoned parcel is given an equivalent dwelling unit (EDU) based on the average size of a single-family residential lot in the City of Carlsbad (7,500 square feet or 0.17 acres). Thus, each single-family parcel is given an EDU of 1.0, while most other parcels, as shown on the following table, are given assessments based on acreage to establish an EDU 12 - value based on the following formula: Acreage of parcel divided by 0.17 acres = EDUs.
