Lighting and Landscape Maintenance District 1993-1, Windsor The Windsor Homes subdivision (L & L District.1993-1) has been in place for twenty— three (23) years. Maintenance in this District includes masonry walls, trees, shrubbery, groundcover, and irrigation systems situated on the northeast side of Tapestry Way and Minton Court, Lot A in the northwest corner of the subdivision, and also Lot C in the southwest corner of the subdivision. The assessments for the coming year for District 1993-1 (Windsor) will be the same as last year, $269.62 per parcel per year. With a total of 90 parcels in the District, this year's total assessment will be $24,265.80. This amount will be sufficient to fund the maintenance of all common areas including water and electrical costs, county assessment fees, city administration fees, but does not set aside sufficient reserves in a replacement fund for the long-term replacement of plantings, irrigation systems, fencing, masonry walls, signage and other district improvements. As there are no city-owned parcels within the boundaries of this District, the City will not be assessed. Due to the ever-increasing cost of water and maintenance services and because of the aging plant material and improvements, the cash reserve for the District is diminished. City staff continues to work closely with the maintenance contractor in order to reduce water use and to increase the efficiency of landscape maintenance operations. The District will continue its 25% reduction in water use and maintenance efficiencies, but despite these measures, it is likely that an increase in the annual assessment will be necessary in order to maintain the maintenance standards of the District. City staff have met with the Windsor at Laguna Oaks Homeowners Association to discuss increased assessments to meet their maintenance requirements and are working towards a vote on the increased assessment before the end of 2016. Liqhtinq and Landscape Maintenance District 1993-2, Bonde Ranch The Bonde Ranch subdivision (L & L District 1993-2) has been in place for twenty-three (23) years. Maintenance in this District includes entry features, open space areas, firebreaks, trees, shrubbery, groundcover and irrigation systems. The assessments for the coming year for District 1993-2 (Bonde Ranch) will be the same as last year, $257.22 per parcel per year. With a total of 103 parcels in the District (including the City-owned Bonde Ranch water tank parcel), this year's total assessment will be $26,489.35. This amount will be sufficient to fund the maintenance of all common areas including water costs, county assessment fees, city administration fees, but does not set aside sufficient reserves in a replacement fund for the long-term replacement of plantings, irrigation systems, fencing, tree removal and trimming, and other district improvements. With the assessment of one city-owned parcel, the City will pay $252.91. The cash reserve for the District has not grown at a pace to cover some of the significant upcoming improvement costs due to the age of the development and the maintenance required for some of the mature trees.
