with the maintenance contractor in order to reduce water use and to increase the efficiency of landscape maintenance operations, but an increase in the annual assessment will be necessary in the future in order to maintain the maintenance standards of the District. Lighting and Landscape Maintenance District 1994-1, Oak Tree Farm The Oak Tree Farm subdivision (L & L District 1994-1) has been in place for twenty-two (22) years. Maintenance in this District includes open space areas, entry features, firebreaks, trees, shrubbery, groundcover and irrigation systems. The assessments for the coming year for District 1994-1 will remain at $473.66 per parcel per year. With a total of 42 parcels in the District (including one City-owned sewer lift station parcel), this year's total assessment will be $19,885.81. This amount will be sufficient to fund the maintenance of all common areas including water costs, county assessment fees, city administration fees and sets aside reserves in a replacement fund for the long-term replacement of plantings, irrigation systems, fencing, and other district improvements. The District will continue its reduction in water use by at least the required 25% in 2015- 16. Despite this, it is likely that an increase in the annual assessment will be necessary in the future in order to maintain the maintenance standards of the District. With the assessment of one city-owned parcel, the City will pay $465.75. Lighting and Landscape District 1995-1, Moller Ranch The Moller Ranch subdivision (L & L District 1995-1) has been in place for twenty-one (21) years. Maintenance in this District includes open space areas, entry features, firebreaks, trees, shrubbery, groundcover and irrigation systems. The assessments for the coming year for District 1995-1 (Moller Ranch) will remain at $570.06 per parcel per year. With a total of 101 parcels in the District (including the City-owned Moller Ranch water tank parcel and a staging area for Pleasanton Ridge), this year's total assessment will be $57,557. This amount will be sufficient to fund the maintenance of all common areas including water and electrical costs, county assessment fees, and City administration fees. The District will continue its reduction in water use by at least the required 25% in 2016- 17. Although a fund balance of approximately $306,000 exists for this District, staff recommends increasing the current assessment, as the District contains a number of improvements for which long-term replacement must be considered. A significant amount of capital improvements are currently underway that will impact the fund balance. Future improvements consist of rock veneer entry walls (260 lineal feet), a masonry wall along Moller Ranch Drive (1200 lineal feet), an extensive irrigation system, decorative street lighting at the project entrance and other features.
