With the assessment of one city-owned parcel, the City will pay $253. The cash reserves for the district are nearly depleted. City staff continues to work closely with the maintenance contractor to increase the efficiency of landscape maintenance operations and has shut off the water due to existing leaks in the irrigation system. Despite these efforts, an increase in the annual assessment will be necessary in order to continue the maintenance standards of the district, and replenish the reserve needed to fund eventual capital repair and replacement costs. Lighting and Landscape Maintenance District 1994-1, Oak Tree Farm The Oak Tree Farm subdivision (District 1994-1) has been in place for 26 years. Maintenance in this district includes open space areas, entry features, decorative lighting, 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 is adequate to fund the maintenance of the district, including water costs, county assessment fees, city administration fees, replacement of plantings, irrigation systems, fencing, and other district improvements, but not enough to cover any required capital replacement costs or additional emergency repair services. 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 Maintenance District 1995-1, Moller Ranch The Moller Ranch subdivision (District 1995-1) has been in place for 25 years. Maintenance in this district includes open space areas, entry features, lighting, 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 the district including water and electrical costs, county assessment fees, City administration fees and operating and maintenance cost, but not enough to increase the capital repair or replacement reserve. Although the fund balance for capital repair and replacement is approximately $270,000 for this district, there are several improvements for which replacement must be considered in the near-term. The improvements consist of an extensive irrigation system replacement and plant replacement, decorative fence repairs, and other features. Staff met with the Moller Ranch Homeowners Association to discuss increased assessments to meet their repair/replacement capital improvement requirements. While Page 6 of 8
