Deputy City Engineer RCE 33081 DESCRIPTION OF IMPROVEMENTS TO BE MAINTAINED The improvements to be maintained and serviced are generally described as street lighting, street trees and landscaped and hardscaped street medians all located within the public right-of-way and as caused by new development and City improvement projects, all as set forth and described in this Engineer’s Report. New development has added 97 street lights to be included in Fiscal Year 2000-2001 maintenance inventory. A complete street light inventory, completed by street lighting staff and included field verification, produced a GIS map showing all City street light locations and a corresponding Excel database. The project was completed in April of 2000. The City’s existing street tree inventory has been re-established at 15,000 street trees. Since 1984, new developments have not included trees in public right-of-way areas adjacent to sidewalks. Prior to 1984, street trees were required as part of all public improvement. The additional street median area to be maintained in Fiscal Year 2000-2001 is 4.62 acres due to the inclusion of median improvements to portions of La Costa Avenue, Poinsettia Lane, Cannon Road, and Palomar Airport Road. This brings the current street median acreage to a total of 52.6 acres, which includes both hardscaped and landscaped medians. This acreage figure is one of many fields of information contained in the new street median inventory, which includes: plant types, lengths and meter locations of, irrigation systems. Street median maintenance staff completed the inventory in April of 2000. The Street Lighting Zone, the Street Tree Trimming Zone and the Street Median Maintenance Zone assessments will not increase in Fiscal Year 2000-01, and will remain at the same base formula rates as assessed in Fiscal Years 1996-97, 1997-98, 1998-99 and 1999-00. All new assessor’s parcels, that by petition of the property owner(s) have been added to the three zones, will be calculated at the same base formulas as used in the last four fiscal years.

Assessment is based on share of cost of maintenance and operation of total lights as formulated by front footage percentage of each parcel in relation to total footage within each code. **t Flat rate per unit METHOD AND FdRMULA FOR ASSESSMENT SPREAD FOR STREET LIGHTING (CONTINUED) Assessment Criteria: The improvements and annexation into the District are required for the approval of, and as a consequence of, new development, and thus benefit the respective developments. The lighting is of benefit to abutting parcels as it provides increased property protection, personal safety, visibility, traffic safety, and enhances those areas fronting upon the illuminated street. The method of assessment for codes within Zone 1 is based on units. In the case of codes Al, Bl, Cl, 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 is also based on front footage. Code HI only includes time share units, which are all assigned the same cost per unit. . . ’ .- PART Ill. ESTIMATE OF COSTS AND ASSESSMENT SCHEDULE July I, 2000 through June 30,200l STREET LIGHTING Cost of Maintenance Service 1. Personnel (1) $197,251 .oo , 2. Maintenance & Operations (1) $549,773.00 3. Capital Improvements $0, Subtotal $747,024.00 Less General Benefit at 8.81% Less Tax Roll Surplus $64,323.01 $44,140.48 I BALANCE TO ASSESSMENT 1 $636,560.51 Notes: (1) See Table “B”. The cost estimate for Personnel and Maintenance & Operations has been reduced by $10,500 for service to other Special Maintenance Zones and Districts. The “Balance to Assessment” shown above is spread upon the several parcels of land within the District liable therefore and benefited thereby, in proportion to the estimated benefits that each parcel receives, respectively, from said maintained works of improvement and appurtenances as established in the formation of the District. All of the parcels within the 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 the energy costs for the initial l&month period. The units in a development are not assessed the initial fiscal year to account for the developer funded energy costs. The District provides funding for the furnishing of services and materials for the ordinary and usual operation, maintenance and servicing of the installed street lights. These services and materials include the furnishing of electric current. Personnel costs include City staff assigned to Street Lighting services, City administration (annual audit of City’s street lighting assessment, updating expenditures and reassessments) engineering and legal expenses. Maintenance and Operations includes supervision, 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 record of City street light system for future maintenance, performing routine night surveillance, checking proposed improvement plans for wnfonnance with City standards regarding street lights, coordinating with Planning, Engineering and Engineer’s of Work to ensure that departmental needs are met. The tax roll reserve is an advance for a portion of the estimated costs of service and maintenance prior to the receipt of tax collections from the County of San Diego. I’ . . The lighting and the orderly circulation of traffic directly benefits the developments within the District. Any share of the benefits received that does not provide a special benefit to the assessed properties is a general benefit provided by the improvements. The cost of the general benefit is not to be assessed to the properties in the District. The cost of the general benefit is to be contributed by the City. This cost for lights is equal to the average annual unit cost difference between the low wattage 9,500 lumen lights and the high wattage 22,000 lumen lights. A 9,500 lumen light is the standard required on a local street. Other streets, such as arterial% require.a standard greater than 9,500 lumens in order to service a capacity greater than the local traffic.

ASSESSMENT SPREAD FOR STREET TREE AND MEDIAN MAINTENANCE ZONES Street Tree Maintenance Zone Street trees are in the street right-of-way, generally located between the curb and sidewalk and/or property line in the areas of the City as shown in Attachment “B”. Each property within the Street Tree Maintenance Zone receives approximately the same degree of benefit to their property. Therefore, staff established a benefit 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 .17 acres). Thus, each single-family parcel is given an EDU of 1 .O, while most other parcels* are given assessments based on acreage to establish an EDU value based on the following formula: Acreage of parcel / 0.17 acres = EDUs Street Median Maintenance Zone This service generally benefits all parcels and residents in the City. Thus, all parcels in the City share in the cost of median maintenance using the same EDU formula as in effect for the Street Tree Maintenance Zone, These formulas were approved by City Council at the June 6, 1989 regular meeting. *See foliowing page for Benefit Units/Land Use code conversion guide.

Less Tax Roll Surplus $15452.53 BALANCE TO ASSESSMENT $458,988.60 Notes: (1) See Table “C”. The cost estimates for Personnel and Maintenance & Operations have been reduced by $70,000 for service to other City departments. (2) See Table “A” of the street lighting portion of this report for calculation of % of General Benefit. The Street Tree division provides maintenance to all trees in the public right-of-way (15,000) parks, open space areas, and trees’at all City facilities. The maintenance consists of pruning, planting, removal and root pruning. The division annually responds to over 500 street tree order/requests, removes over 50 trees and plants over 100 trees. Table “c” below, shows the calculation for the reduction in cost for service to other departments in the City. The cost for service to other departments is subtracted from the total budget cost to ’ arrive at the “Balance to Assessment” to parcels in the District. TABLE “C” COST ESTIMATE REDUCTIONS FOR FY 1999100 The cost of the General Benefit for Street Trees is determined by utilizing the same percent as calculated for Street Lighting as shown in Table “A”. The total “Balance to Assessment” is then divided by the number of benefit units to arrive at a cost per benefit unit. The dollar per assessment unit value for Fiscal Year 2000-01 in the Street Tree benefit zone is calculated as follows: Balance to Assessment = $458.988.60 = $36.10 per unit Total Benefit Units 12,714.37 This unit assessment is applied to 13,793 parcels in the Street Tree Zone.

Date August 8, 2000 xex ToVirginia , 0 Reply Wanted From Debra IJNo Reply Necessary I am following up with you regarding the STREET LIGHTING AND LANSDCAPING annual assessments< Per resolution the City Clerk's office is to have on file a copy the diagram and assessment which should be detailed in the Engineer's report dated June 2000. While I do see several diagrams the assessment shcedule as discussed in the Engineers report does not seem to be included. It was my understanding that after our discussion regarding this item, you as the Administrative Coordinator-Sptial Districts, were going to do the filing with the County Auditor. Can you please supply me with the correct diagrram and assessment which makes reference to the Parcil numbers "contained on the County Assessment Roll, assessing the net amount upon all assessable lots. . . . II As refered to in the Engineers report. If you have any questions please feel free to call me. I can be reached at ex 5106. Thanks in advance for your help. I hope to have this item resolved by the end of August.
