With the assessment of one city-owned parcel ($16.62), and the cost of maintenance for the "general benefit" area along the Arroyo ($9,703.00) that was at one time included in this District, the City will be responsible for $9,719.62 of maintenance within the District. Lighting and Landscape Maintenance District 1993-1, Windsor The Windsor Homes subdivision (L & L District 1993-1) has been in place for twenty—four (24) 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 insufficient to fund the maintenance of all common areas including water and electrical costs, county assessment fees, city administration fees. The Engineer's Report projects that$5,526.10 will be required from the reserve fund to cover projected maintenance costs. An increase in the annual assessment will be necessary in the future in order to continue the maintenance standards of the District. 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. City staff have met with the Windsor at Laguna Oaks Homeowners Association to discuss increased assessments to meet their maintenance requirements, but have not had success in gaining support for the increased assessment. Staff is working towards a vote on the increased assessment prior to the end of 2017. Lighting and Landscape Maintenance District 1993-2, Bonde Ranch The Bonde Ranch subdivision (L & L District 1993-2) has been in place for twenty-four (24) 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 insufficient to fund the maintenance of all common areas including water costs, county assessment fees, city administration fees, and requires increasing the deficit of the fund balance. With the assessment of one city-owned parcel, the City will pay $252.91. Page 5of7
