THE CITY OF 4 <br /> CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT <br /> pLEASANTON <br /> June 15, 2021 <br /> Engineering <br /> TITLE: ADOPT RESOLUTIONS APPROVING THE 2021/22 ANNUAL <br /> ASSESSMENTS FOR LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE DISTRICTS 1984-1 <br /> (PONDEROSA-DEL PRADO), 1993-1 (WINDSOR), 1993-2 (BONDE <br /> RANCH), 1994-1 (OAK TREE FARM) AND 1995-1 (MOLLER RANCH) <br /> SUMMARY <br /> The annual assessments for the maintenance of the Landscape Maintenance Districts <br /> (LMDs) in the Ponderosa-Del Prado, Windsor, Bonde Ranch, Oak Tree Farm, and Moller <br /> Ranch subdivisions have been calculated for FY 2021/22. All districts are underfunded <br /> as assessments have not been increased since the passage of Proposition 218 in 1996. <br /> In addition, reserves for capital replacement are limited or non-existent. <br /> Staff had hired a consultant that specializes in LMDs, SCI Consulting Group, to <br /> determine appropriate assessments for future years, perform public outreach to discuss <br /> the requirements and potential assessments, and hold a Proposition 218 compliant vote <br /> as is necessary to increase assessments. Votes for the Windsor and Bonde Ranch <br /> LMDs were scheduled for last year but put on hold due to the County's Shelter-in-Place <br /> Order for the Covid-19 pandemic. <br /> As such, all assessment amounts are proposed to remain unchanged until such time that <br /> the analysis and a Proposition 218 compliant vote can take place. <br /> RECOMMENDATION <br /> 1 . Open and hold a public hearing to receive comments regarding the levy of annual <br /> assessments for each of the Landscape Maintenance Districts. <br /> 2. Adopt a resolution confirming the Engineer's Report and levying assessments for <br /> each of the Landscape Maintenance Districts. <br /> 3. Appropriate $11 ,560 from the applicable City Funds (General Fund, Water Fund and <br /> Sewer Fund) to the respective Landscape Maintenance Districts. <br /> FINANCIAL STATEMENT <br /> As required by law, the City will continue to incur a fiscal impact for those parcels that <br /> provide a "general benefit" and are city-owned. To that end, the City will pay $16.62 for <br /> Parcel 946-4563-125 (Del Prado Park); $9,703 for the "general benefit" area along the <br /> Arroyo in District 1984-1 (Ponderosa-Del Prado); $252.91 for Parcel 948-0014-1-39 <br /> (water tank site) in District 1993-2 (Bonde Ranch); $1 ,121.06 for Parcels 941-1803-62 <br />
