Staff Report
SUBJECT:
Resolution ofIntention - Palm and Washington Landscape Maintenance Assessment District---
Tract No. 15743 (AD 1025).
BACKGROUND:
On May 17, 1999, Tract No. 15743 was approved. One of the conditions ofapproval was the
formation of an Assessment District for the maintenance of landscaping along the west side of
Palm Avenue, south of Washington Avenue and along the south side of Red Sky Avenue,
adjacent to the southerly boundary of the tract. This is being done to relieve the City of the costs
of maintaining the landscaping and to prevent blight, since property owners usually do not
maintain the areas beyond the perimeter block waIls of a tract. The developer will install the
landscaping and irrigation and the assessment district will provide for the ongoing maintenance.
On June 21,1999, this office received a letter of request from Verdemont Ranch, LLC, the
property owner, for the formation of the Assessment District.
The landscaping along Palm Avenue will consist of Palm Trees (existing plus additional trees to
be planted), groundcover and vines. The landscaping along Red Sky Avenue will consist of
shrubs and mulch. The irrigation system will include all necessary sprinkler heads, piping,
controller valves, bacldlow device and controller. The installation will be carried out pursuant
to the City's standards for landscape installation within an assessment district. Maintenance will
be done on a weekly basis and will include trash pickup, weed control, trimming, pruning,
fertilizing and repair of irrigation system as needed. Once the landscaping is accepted by the
City, the maintenance will be performed by an outside contractor pursuant to the City's
standards and specifications.
Tract No. 15743 consists of38 single family lots. The annual cost of maintenance, which is
estimated to be $8,775.34, including incidental and administrative costs, will be spread across
these 38 lots. The annual assessment per lot is estimated to be $230.93. All potential buyers will
be given a disclosure statement of the assessment by the seller/developer.
The developer will install the landscaping as a condition of approval for this tract
An Engineer's Report has been prepared, which gives details regarding the district boundaries,
proposed maintenance, method of assessment, total cost of maintenance and a proposed
assessment roll and is on file in the office of the City Clerk. A District Boundary map has also
been prepared and is also on file with the City Clerk. A copy of the Engineer's Report is
attached.

CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
Staff Report-Continued
The attached Resolution declares the City's intent to fonn Assessment District No. 1025 and sets
a public meeting date of March 20,2000 and a public hearing date of April 17,2000. All
property owners of record within the proposed district will be sent a mailed notice, along with an
Assessment Ballot, as required by Proposition 218. The results of the ballots will be presented at
the close of the public hearing. Ballots are weighted in proportion to the assessment amount. The
developer will still own the majority of the parcels when notices are mailed and thus a majority
protest is not anticipated.
On January 24, 2000, this item was continued to the February 7, 2000 Council meeting to allow
staff to discuss issues with the City Attorney's office relative to the Engineer's Report. The
issues discussed were the cost factors used in Table 1 of the Engineer's Report, the
determination of some general benefit of the proposed landscape maintenance pursuant to the
City's legal interpretation of Proposition 218 and clarification of how future increases would be
handled. All of these issues were resolved and language in the Engineer's Report was modified
or added to address these issues. The cost factoring is based on a cumulative average of all
assessment districts and a clause was added to clarify this. To address the second issue regarding
the interpretation of Proposition 218 related to general versus special benefit, we have revised
the Engineer's Report under the section titled "Method of Assessment and Determination of
Benefit", page 2. Consideration is now given to some general benefit aspect depending on the
type of street the landscaping fronts on. The fonnula, as stated in the Engineer's Report, will be
15% general benefit for major arterial streets, 10% for secondary arterial street, 5% for collector
streets and 0% for local streets.
Applying this fonnula to the proposed assessment district, the general benefit amount is
estimated to be $583.51 for this district and the total assessment, before interest, has been
reduced by this amount, as shown in Table 1 of the Engineer's Report. The general benefit
amount cannot be assessed to the district and must be paid for through some other source, such
as the General Fund. A similar method of detennining general versus special benefit will be
utilized in future maintenance district proposals. Finally, the Consumer Price Index increase was
clarified and a cap of 5% will be placed on any future increases without requiring a property
owner vote. All of these modifications are reflected on the revised Engineer's Report and a copy
has been attached.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Applicant has paid the $4,000 processing fee and all subsequent work carried out in the district
will be assessed back to property owners. The General Benefit amount, estimated to be $583.51,
will have to be paid from the City's General Fund or other source.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the attached Resolution be adopted.

(Palm Avenue and Washington Avenue Area Landscape Maintenance Assessment District)
PETITION -- On June 21,1999, a petition was received from the owner or the developenepresenting the
owner of property within the proposed assessment district for the establishment of an assessment district for the
maintenance of landscaping along portions of Palm Avenue, South of Washington Avenue and along portions of
Red Sky Avenue within Tract No. 15743. The signatures on the petition represent I()()O/o of the property owners of
the parcels within the proposed boundaries of the district. This petition was the result of a requirement placed upon

AUTHORIZATION -- On July 6, 1999, by action of the Mayor and Common Council of the City of
San Bernardino, the City Engineer and City Clerk were authorized to initiate proceedings for the formation of
Assessment District No.1 025 (Palm Avenue and Washington Avenue Area Landscape Maintenance Assessment
District) pursuant to the provisions of San Bernardino City Municipal Code Chapter 12.90 and this Report has
been prepared and is hereby submitted pursuant to said provisions and in accordance with Resolution of
Intention No. adopted by the Mayor and Common Council of the City of San Bernardino on the
day of
ADVANCE OF ESTIMATED COSTS OF PROCEEDINGS -- On August 17, 1999, pursuant to Section
12.94.030 of the Municipal Code, the developer deposited $4,000 with the City to cover the estimated cost of
proceedings. At the conclusion of the proceedings and after confirmation of all costs, any amounts remaining will
be returned to the developer. If actual costs are more than the deposit, then the remainder can either be paid in a
lump sum by the developer or assessed against the properties involved.
EASEMENTS - All landscaping to be maintained will be within the dedicated right of way, or within
easements granted to the City for landscape maintenance purposes and no maintenance will be carried out on private
property .
DESCRIPTION OF IMPROVEMENTS -- The improvements to be maintained include landscaping and
all appUrtenances along portions of the West side of Palm Avenue, South of Washington Avenue, portions of
Washington Avenue adjacent to Lot 1 of Tract No. 15743 and along portions of the South side of Red Sky Avenue,
all within Tract No. 15743.

Engineers Report-AD 1025
DESCRIPTION OF BOUNDARIES -- The boundaries of the proposed district ~e shown on the
Assessment Boundary Map of Assessment District No. 1025 and are generally described as follows: The centerline
of Washington Avenue on the North, Palm Avenue on the East, and the Southwesterly line of Tract No. 15743 on
the Southwest.
VICINITY MAP -- A vicinity map showing the general location of the proposed Assessment District is
attached as Exhibit "1".
DISTRICT BOUNDARY MAP -- A proposed District Boundary Map has been prepared and is on file in
the office of the City Clerk. A reduced copy of the District Boundary Map is attached as Exhibit "2".
DISTRICT DIAGRAM -- A proposed Diagram of the Assessment District has been prepared and will be
filed with the City Clerk after preliminary approval of this Report and will be filed with the County Recorder and
recorded in the office of the City Engineer after final approval of this Report, confirmation of the Assessment Roll
and Resolution Ordering Work. A reduced copy of the Assessment District Diagram is attached as Exhibit "3".
NOTICE OF EXEMPTION -- a "Notice of Exemption" declaring a Categorical Exemption was prepared
and will be filed with the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors of San Bernardino County upon formation of the
District. No further environmental proceedings will be necessary. A copy of the Notice of Exemption is attached
as Exhibit "4".
METHOD OF ASSESSMENT AND DETERMINATION OF BENEFIT - Landscaping and its proper
maintenance enhances the esthetics of any given area and the benefit received by the owners of properties in the
area is determined to be equal to the number of residential units that utilize the landscaped areas either as ingress
and egress or by actual physical use of the land as in the cases of large open areas. The boundaries of the proposed
district are drawn with this in mind and the Resolution of Intention delineates the specific areas of maintenance
which will benefit all of the properties within the boundaries. Thus, each residential lot or unit, be it a single family
lot, a condominium or an apartment will be assessed an equal share in the cost of maintenance (1 residential lot or
unit = I Assessment Unit).
The benefit received by the parcels within the boundaries of the district is determined to be of more than
ordinary public benefit, thus each parcel within the district being assessed receives a special benefit from the
improvements. If property not within the boundaries of a district also receives some benefit from the improvements,
consideration must then be given to a general benefit given by the improvements, which may not be assessed to
the parcels within the district. Since the installation and maintenance of the landscaping and establishment of an
assessment district for the maintenance of the landscaping is specific and incidental to this development, it is further
determined that the improvements to be maintained by the assessment district are of special benefit to the district
only and are 100% assessable to the parcels within the boundaries of the assessment district, except as follows:
1. Areas of maintenance that front on major arterial streets, as determined by the Circulation Plan of
the City's General Plan, are determined to be 15% general benefit and the proportional costs thereof
are not assessable to the District.
2
Engineers Report-AD 1025
2. Areas of maintenance that front on secondarY arterial streets. as determined by the Circulation
Plan of the City's General Plan, are determined to be 10% general benefit and the proportional costs
thereof are not assessable to the District.
3. Areas of maintenance that front on coDector streets. as determined by the Circu1ation Plan of the
City's General Plan, are determined to be 5% general benefit and the proportional costs thereof are
not assessable to the District.
4. Areas that front on local streets are determined to be 100% special benefit and are 100% assessable
to the District.
These percentages are based on the traffic circulation for the various street classifications.
Palm Avenue is classified as a secondary arterial and represents 65.84% of the total areas of
maintenance. Pursuant to the above determination of benefit, 10% of 65.84% of the total cost of maintenance
will not be assessed to the District. The remaining area of maintenance along the southwesterly side of Red Sky
Avenue, which is classified as a local street, is 100% special benefit and assessable to the District. The net cost
assessable to the District is shown in Table 1.
Publicly owned lands within the Assessment District, if any, are subject to assessments, unless they receive
no benefit with the exception of public right of way, which is not subject to assessments. Presently, no parcels
within the district are publicly owned.
METHOD OF FINANCING -- The estimated cost of the first year's maintenance shall be assessed against
the properties involved within the current fiscal year or the fiscal year following the establishment of the district.
Depending upon when the costs are assessed and when the actual maintenance is assumed by the City, this assessed
amount can be used as a source of pre-funding the first year's maintenance contract and incidental costs. Once the
City has assumed the responsibility for the maintenance, the properties may be assessed in advance each year
thereafter to establish a source of pre-funding each year's costs, or may be assessed for the actual contract and
incidental costs plus interest. Interest will be included in the assessment costs for any amounts or portions not pre_
funded through previous assessments. If there is a surplus from the estimated assessment in the event costs are pre-
funded through previous assessments, any such surplus shall be applied as a credit to the following year's
assessment or placed in a reserve fund to cover future increases or maintenance until such reserves are depleted.
The assessment, whether pre-funded or not, shall be levied, collected and enforced in the same manner, at the same
time, and with the same penalties and interest as in the case of taxes levied for property taxes. Table 1 sets forth the
estimated costs of the first years maintenance. No Bonds wiD be sold relative to this Assessment District.
ASSESSMENT SPREAD -- The amount of each Assessment Unit is determined by dividing the total
maintenance costs, including all incidentals, by the total number of assessment units, as determined by the above
Method of Assessment. Each parcel in the district is then assessed based upon the total number of Assessment Units
calculated for that parcel. .

Engineers Report - AD 1025
ASSESSMENT ROLL -- Presently there are 38 single family parcels within Tract No. 15743, with each
parcel representing I assessment unit as described under Method of Assessment, and assessments are spread
accordingly. No further subdivision of the parcels is anticipated. An Assessment Roll representing the estimated
first year's maintenance costs has been prepared for the 38 parcels within Tract No. 15743 and is shown as Exhibit
US".
FUTURE APPORTIONMENTS -- In the event that the assessment units, as determined under Method of
Assessment, change for any parcel(s) during the term of the Assessment Distric~ the assessment amount for that
parcel(s) will change accordingly. Any Increases based solely on change in parcel size, land use or density, which
would result in an increase of assessment units, will not be subject to a public hearing as long as the formula for
determining the assessments as described is applied. Pursuant to Chapter 12.90 of the San Bernardino Municipal
Code, such reapportionments do not require the recording of an amended Diagram Map.
FUTURE INCREASES -- Due to the nature ofIandscape maintenance, it is anticipated that there will be
future increases in assessments as contract, labor, water and energy costs are all subject to future increases. Annual
increases may be increased without further notice or public hearing by a percentage equal to the increase in the
Consumer Price Index (CPI) for all Urban Consumers in the Los Angeles-Orange County-Inland Empire area,
published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics over the previous year, or 5%,
whichever is less. The CPI is typically used for maintenance districts. The rate varies from year to year, but in no
event will an increase, if needed, exceed 5% without a majority approval of property owners in the district.

SECTION 5. The assessment financing alternative to be followed shall be as follows,
.
to-wit:
The estimated cost of the first year's maintenance, as set forth in said Engineer's report, shall be
assessed against the properties involved within the current fiscal year or the fiscal year following
the establishment of the district. Depending on when the costs are assessed relative to when the
maintenance is assumed by the City, this assessed amount can be used as a source ofpre-funding
the first year's maintenance contract and incidental costs. Once the district has assumed the
responsibility for the maintenance, the properties shall be assessed each year thereafter to establish
a source of pre-funding each year's costs, or for the actual contract and incidental costs. If there
are surplus amounts in the event of pre-funding of costs, then such surplus may be applied as a
credit to the following year's assessment or retained in a reserve to offset future increases. Interest
will be charged on any portion of the assessments which are not pre-funded through previous
assessments. The interest rate shall be based upon the average rate of the City's current earnings
on invested funds during the period of expenditure. The assessment shall be levied, collected and
enforced in the same manner, at the same time, and with the same penalties and interest as in the
case of taxes levied for property taxes. Said assessments will be collected in perpetuity, or until
terminated by the Mayor and Common Council. Reference is made to said Engineer's Report for
full particulars.

CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCn.. ACTION
Staff Report
SUBJECT:
Resolution of Intention - Palm and Washington Landscape Maintenance Assessment District-
Tract No. 15743 (AD 1025).
BACKGROl]NQ:
On May 17, 1999, Tract No. 15743 was approved. One of the conditions of approval is the
fonnation of an Assessment District for the maintenance ofLswlscaping along the west side of
Palm Avenue, south of Washington Avenue and along the south side of Christine Street, adjacent
to the Southerly boundary of the tract. This is being done to relieve the City of the costs of
maintaining the landscaping and to prevent blight since property owners usually do not maintain
the areas beyond the perimeter block walls of a tract. .
On June 21, 1999, this office received a letter of request from Verdemont Ranch, LLC, the
property owner, for the fonnation of the Assessment District. The applicant bas paid the $4,000
processing fee.
Tract No. 15743 consists of38 single family lots. The annual cost of maintenance, which is
estimated to be $9, 393.98, including incidental and administrative costs, will be spread. across
these 38 lots. The annual assessment per lot is estimated to be $242.71. All potential buyers will
be given a disclosure statement of the assessment by the seller/developer.
An Engineer's Report has been prepared, which gives details regarding the district boundaries,
proposed maintenance, method of assessment, total cost of maintenance and a proposed
assessment roll and is on file in the office of the City Clerk. A District Boundary map has also
been prepared and is also on file with the City Clerk. A copy of the Engineer's Report is has
been attached.
The attached Resolution declares the City's intent to form Assessment District No. 1025 and sets
a public meeting date of February 22, 2000 and a public hearing date of March 20, 2000. As
required by Proposition 218, all property owners of record within the proposed district will be
sent a mailed notice, along with an Assessment Ballot. The results of the ballots will be
presented at the close of the public hearing. Ballots are weighted in proportion to the Assessment
amount. The developer will still own the majority of the parcels when notices are mailed and
thus a majority protest is not anticipated.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None. Applicant has paid the $4,000 processing fee and all subsequent work carried out in the
district will be assessed back to property owners.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the attached Resolution be adopted.

district are drawn with this in mind and the Resolution of Intention delineates the specific areas of maintenance
which will benefit all of the properties within the boundaries. Thus, each residential lot or unit, be it a single family
lot, a condominium or an apartment will be assessed an equal share in the cost of maintenance (I residential lot or
unit = I Assessment Unit).
The benefit received by the parcels within the boundaries of the district is determined to be of more than
ordinary public benefit, thils each parcel within the district being assessed receives a special benefit from the
improvements. If property not within the boundaries of a district also receives some benefit from the improvements,
consideration must then be given to a general benefit given by the improvements, which may not be assessed to
the parcels within the district. Since the insta1lation and maintenance of the landsl:aping and establishment of an
assessment district for the maintenance of the landscaping is a requirement by the City for this development, it is
further determined that the improvements to be maintained by the assessment district are of special benefit to the
district only and are 100% assessable to the parcels within the boundaries of the assessment district.
Publicly owned lands within the Assessment District, if any, are subject to assessments, unless they receive
no benefit 'with the exception of public right of way, which is not subject to assessments. Presently, no parcels
within the district are publicly owned.

Engineers Report-AD 1025
METHOD OF FINANCING - The estimated cost of the first year's mainteDance shall be assessed against
the properties involved within the current fisca1 year or the fiscal year following the establishment of the district.
Depending upon when the costs are assessed and when the actua1 maintenance is asswned by the City, this assessed
amount can be used as a source of pre-funding the first year's maintenance contract and incidental coSl$. Once the
City has assumed the responsibility for the maintenance, the properties may be assessed in advance each year
thereafter to establish a source of pre-funding each year's costs, or may be assessed for the actual contract and
incidental costs plus interest. Interest will be included in the assessment costs for any amounts or portions not pre-
funded through previous assessments. If there is a surplus from the estimated assessment in the event costs are pre_
funded through previous assessments, any such surplus shall be applied as a credit to the following year's
assessment or placed in a reserve fund to cover future increases or maintenance until such reserves are depleted.
The assessment, whether pre-funded or not, shall be levied, collected and enforced in the same manner, at the same
time, and with the same penalties and interest as in the case of taxes levied for property taxes. Table 1 sets forth the
estimated costs of the first years maintenance. No Bonds will be sold relative to this Assessment District.
ASSESSMENT SPREAD - The amount of each Assessment Unit is determined by dividing the total
maintenance costs, including all incidentals, by the total number of assessment units, as determined by the above
Method of Assessment Each parcel in the district is then assessed based upon the total number of Assessment Units
calculated for that parcel. -
ASSESSMENT ROLL - Presently there are 38 single family parcels within Tract No. 15743, with each
parcel representing 1 assessment unit as described under Method of Assessment, and assessment are spread
accordingly. No further subdivision of the parcels is anticipated. An Assessment Roll representing the estimated
first year's maintenance costs has been prepared for the 38 parcels within Tract No. 15743 and is shown as Exhibit
5.
FUTURE APPORTIONMENTS - In the event that the assessment units, as determined under Method of
Assessment, change for any parcel(s) during the term of the Assessment District, the assessment amount for that
parcel(s) will change accordingly. Any Increases based solely on change in parcel size, land use or density, which
would result in an increase of assessment units, -will not be subject to a public hearing as long as the formula for
determining the assessments as described is applied. Pursuant to Chapter 12.90 of the San Bernardino Municipal
Code, such reapportionments do not require the recordmg of an amended Diagram Map.
FUTURE INCREASES - Due to the nature oflandscape maintenance, it is anticipated that there will be
future increases in assessments as contract, labor, water and energy costs are all subject to future increases. Annual
increases may be increased without further notice or public hearing by a percen~ge equal to the increase in the
Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers in the Los Angeles-Orange County-In1and Empire area, published
by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics over the previous year.

Total Costs + Total Assessment Units = Cost per Assessment Unit
thus
9,393.98+38=$247.21 per Assessment Unit per year
