I ITEM EXPLANATION:
At their meeting of June 19, 2001, the City Council approved three resolutions which initiated
proceedings and ordered the preparation of an Engineer’s Report for a Special Maintenance
District, approved the Engineer’s Report, and set tonight’s public hearing (July 24, 2001).
Tonight, Public Works staff will present a comprehensive report on the maintenance and operations
procedures and Fiscal Year 2001-02 adopted budgeted packages for the three zones: Street
Lighting, Street Tree Maintenance, and Street Median Maintenance, as detailed in the previously
approved Engineer’s Report. Included in tonight’s report will be a description of the City’s
contribution of a “General Benefit” to each of the three zones which will be presented by the
engineering consultant for the District. The “General Benefit” first became an inclusion of the
Districts processing in Fiscal Year 1997-1998 in compliance with Proposition 218.
The Resolution setting tonight’s public hearing was published in the North County Times at least
ten days prior to this public hearing.
At the close of the public hearing, Council is requested to adopt Resolution No. 200 I- a&7
providing for the levy of th nnual assessments for Fiscal Year 2001-2002, and approve Resolution No. 300 I 9
budget to certain special f;nds
authorizing a transfer of $133,498.18 from the General Fund
budgets.
I FISCAL IMPACT:
The Fiscal Year 2001-2002 Street Lighting and Landscaping District No. 1 total budget for the three
zones is projected to be $2,199,141.
Other special fund budgets will contribute $10,500 to the Street Lighting Maintenance Zone for the
personnel and operations services. The City’s General Fund will contribute $28,000 to the Street
Lighting Zone to cover the operations and maintenance costs for the City street lights adjacent to
City properties as City owned parcels are non-assessable on the County tax rolls.
In addition, the City’s General Fund will, through the approved budget, contribute $82,000 to the
Street Tree Maintenance Zone for staff time and equipment spent on maintaining City parks and Hosp Grove which, by policy, are not considered part of the public right-of-way program.
The City’s General Fund will also contribute $64,957.36 to the Street Lighting Maintenance Budget,
$36,034.37 to the Street Tree Maintenance Budget and $32,$06.45 to the Street Median Maintenance Budget as “General Benefit” assessments, as further described in the Engineer’s
Report.
Page 2 of Agenda Bill No. Ib I 27 7
The actual total to be collected from assessments is $1548,096. A further breakdown of the three
zones follows:
Street Lighting Zone $1,070,055 $674,612 $395,443
Street Tree Zone $593,601 456,163 137,438
Street Median Zone $535,485 $417,321 $118,164
TOTAL $2,199,141 $1,548,096 $651,045
As shown in the above chart, the total budget for each zone is in excess of the total assessment collection. This is due to a provision of the previously referenced Proposition 218 that assessments cannot be increased without mailed ballots being sent to each property owner assessed through the County Tax Collector.
Although all three zones have maintained sufficient surplus in their fund balances to cover the shortfalls for the past five fiscal years, the Street Median Zone is expected to reach a deficit in the next fiscal year as current projections show the fund balance will be depleted. The additional two zones can expect a shortfall in future years if approved budgets continue to exceed assessment collections.
Finance and Public Works staff will be returning to Council prior to next year’s assessment
processing to present a full report to Council containing recommendations for alleviating the deficit problem.
As shown in the following table, a single-family residential parcel which benefits from the street lighting maintenance, street tree maintenance and median maintenance programs would have an anticipated assessment of $70.44 for Fiscal Year 2001-2002, the same as for the previous five fiscal years.

DESCRIPTION OF IMPROVEMENTS
TO BE MAINTAINED
New development has added 185 street lights to be included in the Fiscal Year 2001-02
maintenance inventory bringing the City-owned and maintained street light total to 6,138 street
lights.
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. During 2000-01, the conditions of
approval for one subdivision in the Northwest Quadrant included the planting of trees in the
public right-of-way and annexation of the subdivision parcels to the Street Tree Maintenance
Zone. The trees within the subdivision will be added to the City street tree maintenance program
in Fiscal Year 2001-02.
The additional Street Median Maintenance Zone to be maintained in Fiscal Year 2001-02 is 3.07 acres due to the inclusion of median improvements to portions of Faraday Avenue,
El Camino Real and Poinsettia Lane. This brings the current City-maintained street median acreage to a total of 55.7 acres which includes both landscaped and hardscaped medians.
The Street Lighting Zone, Street Tree Maintenance Zone and the Street Median Maintenance
Zone assessments will not increase in Fiscal Year 2001-02, and will remain at the same base
formula rates as assessed in the last five fiscal years. 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 five fiscal years.

TABLE 1
STREET LIGHTING ASSESSMENT ZONES AND CODES
Within the citywide Street Lighting Assessment boundaries are the following two zones:
Zone 1 - City owned and maintained street lights
Zone 2 - Undeveloped property - non-benefiting, not assessed
Zone 1 consists of the following sub-codes and their benefit spread formulas:
CODE Al *
CODE 61*
CODE Cl*
CODE Dl*
Street lights at intersections only (residential)
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)
CODE E2*” Street light spacing at current City standard, condos and apartment buildings,
ten units and above
CODE F2** Street light spacing at current City standard, commercial and industrial parcels
CODE G2** Special lighting and spacing standard, downtown redevelopment area
CODE Hi*** Street light spacing at current City standard, time shares only
* Assessment is based on equal shares of cost of maintenance and operation of total
lights within each code.
** 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.
*** Flat rate per unit
TABLE 2 METHOD OF ASSESSMENT FOR STREET LIGHTING
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 Hl only includes time share units, which are all assigned the same cost per unit.
Method of Assessment:
CODE
Al, Bl, Cl, Dl Residential dwelling unit = one benefit unit
E2
F2 G2
Commercial, residential and redevelopment area = one front foot of
street frontage = one benefit unit
Hl Time shares = .20 per weekly unit

Notes:
(1) See Table “c”. The cost estimate for Personnel and Maintenance & Operations has been
reduced by $38,500 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 18-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 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 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.
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 of the general benefit
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 arterials, require a standard greater than 9,500
lumens in order to service a capacity greater than the local traffic.
Table “B” shows the calculation of the cost estimate for General Benefit for Street Lights.
TABLE “6”
COST ESTIMATE FOR GENERAL BENEFIT STREET LIGHT SUMMARY PER SDG&E
The following table, identified as Table “c”, shows the calculation for the reduction in cost for
service to other Special Maintenance Zones and Districts in the City. The cost for sewice to
other departments is subtracted from the total budget cost to arrive at the “Balance to

ASSESSMENT SPREAD
FOR STREET TREE AND STREET 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 0.17 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.

COST OF MAINTENANCE
Notes:
(1) See Table “G”. The cost estimates for Personnel and Maintenance & Operations have been
reduced by $82,000 for service to other City departments.
(2) See Table “B” of the street lighting portion of this Report for calculation of the percent of
General Benefit.
The Street Tree division provides maintenance to all of the 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 division annually responds to over 500 street
tree order/requests, removes over 50 trees and plants over 100 trees.
Table “G” 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 “G”
COST ESTIMATE REDUCTIONS FOR FY 2001-2002
FOR SERVICE TO OTHER DEPARTMENTS
The cost of the General Benefit for the Street Tree Maintenance Zone is determined by utilizing
the same percent as calculated for Street Lighting Zone as shown in Table “B” since staff
believes that the Street Lighting General Benefit is representative of the General Benefit for
Street Trees.
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 2001-02 in the Street
Tree Maintenance Zone is calculated as follows:
Balance to Assessment = $456.163.57 = $36.10 per unit
Total Benefit Units 12,636.ll
This unit assessment is applied to 13,794 parcels in the Street Tree Maintenance Zone.
For the specific assessment on each parcel, reference is made to the Assessment Roll on file in
the office of the Assessment District Administrator, 1635 Faraday Avenue, Carlsbad, California,
which is incorporated herein by this reference as though set forth in full.

STREET MEDIANS
TABLE “H” COST OF MAINTENANCE SERVICE
Notes:
(1) See Table “B”, as shown in the street lighting portion of this Report for calculation of the percent of General Benefit.
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 55.7 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
50.2 acres of City medians.
The cost of the General Benefit for Street Medians is determined by utilizing the same percent as calculated for Street Lighting as shown in Table “B”, since staff believes that the Street
Lighting General Benefit is representative of the’ General Benefit for Street Medians.
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
Median Maintenance Zone is calculated as follows:
Balance to Assessment = $417.321.42 = $8.34 per unit
Total Benefit Units 50,038.54
This unit assessment is applied to 46,001 parcels in the Street Median Maintenance Zone.
For the specific assessment on each parcel, reference is made to the Assessment Roll on file at
the office of the Assessment District Administrator, 1635 Faraday Avenue, Carlsbad, California,
which is incorporated herein by this reference as though set forth in full.
