Moller Ranch The Engineer's Report for the Moller Ranch GHAD concludes that funding is needed for the following special services for properties within this GHAD: excavation and re- compaction of shallow slope failures, installation of additional subdrain systems, repair of surface drainage improvements, construction of additional surface drainage improvements, restoration of eroded areas and/or removal of siltation deposits, site inspection, preparation of the Engineer's Report and City administrative costs. This year, the parcel assessment has been increased two percent according to the index (to $110). With 100 properties within the GHAD, including the City-owned water reservoir site, this year's revenue budget will be $11,000. Currently, the Moller Ranch GHAD has a fund balance of $101,616 as of April 24, 2014, for the repair of landslides, hillside slopes and drainage facilities, as may be necessary in the future, based on estimates of significant earth movement events discussed in the original Plan of Control for this GRAD. Laurel Creek Estates The Engineer's Report for the Laurel Creek Estates GHAD concludes that funding is needed for the following special services for properties within this GHAD: repair and maintenance of surface and subsurface drainage facilities, slope stabilization, erosion control, routine maintenance, site inspection, preparation of the Engineer's Report and City administrative costs. This year, the parcel assessment has been increased two percent according to the index (to $384). There are 121 properties within the GHAD (102 Laurel Creek Estates, including the two City-owned water reservoirs, the 7 Oak Hill Estates and the 12 Kolb Ranch Estates). This year's revenue budget will be $46,464. Currently, the Laurel Creek Estates GHAD has a fund reserve of $656,036 as of April 24, 2014. The reserve assumes the potential for a significant repair of the hillside slopes once every ten years, and staff experience with the cost of other significant repairs in this area west of Foothill Road makes this reserve amount appropriate. Lemoine Ranch Estates The Engineer's Report for the Lemoine Ranch Estates GRAD concludes that funding is needed for the following special services for properties within this GRAD: inspection and repair of the surface drainage improvements such as the concrete v-ditches and storm drain outlets; detection and mitigation of potential geologic hazards; slope stabilization; erosion control; routine maintenance; site inspection; preparation of the Engineer's Report; and City administrative costs. This year, the parcel assessment has been increased two percent according to the index (to $640). There are no City-owned parcels within this GRAD. With 12 properties within the GHAD, this year's budget will be $7,680. The Lemoine Ranch Estates GRAD has a fund balance of $61,664 as of April 24, 2014. As noted above, the proposed assessments fund geologic monitoring and related maintenance services which provide a special benefit to the properties within the GHADs that do not benefit the public at large. Combined with the fact that the proposed increases to the assessments are only in the amount of the ENR Construction Code Index, and that the GHADs were formed by consent of all original property owners (the developers), the current proposed assessments are not subject to a Prop. 218 vote of present property owners.
