Background Analysis
The President's Plaza III Property and Business Improvement District ("PP III") was
originally formed in Fiscal Year 2001/2002 for a five-year term. A majority of property
owners subsequently voted to renew PP III for three additional five-year terms, the
current one being from Fiscal Years 2016/2017 to 2020/2021. PP III is entering into the
third year of that term.
PP III includes properties that are located south of Palm Desert Drive at Highway 111,
and north of El Paseo, between new Highway 74 and old Highway 74.
The street boundaries of PP 111 are shown on a satellite map on Page 4A of the
Engineer's Annual Levy Report for Fiscal Year 2018/2019.

Approval of PP III Annual Levy Report and Levy and Collection of Assessments
Page 2 of 2
The City of Palm Desert ("City") collects annual assessments from PP III property
owners to pay for landscape maintenance, street sweeping, and parking lot lighting
within the common parking lot areas.
The only modification of the PP III budget will be the allowed three percent (3%) cost -of -
living adjustments that were built into the current five-year plan which the property
owners approved.
The attached resolutions will approve next fiscal year's Management District Plan, and
allow the City to levy and collect the associated annual assessments within PP III.
Staff recommends approval of both resolutions.
Fiscal Analysis
The assessment and collection of the fully levy amount will finance both ongoing
maintenance of PP III and associated staff costs, relieving the City of any financial
burden.

Overview
Introduction
The City of Palm Desert ("City") formed and established the President's Plaza III
Property and Business Improvement Assessment District ("District") beginning in
Fiscal Year 2001/2002 to provide improvements and activities that confer special
benefits upon real property within the boundaries of the District. The District was
established and levied pursuant to Property and Business Improvement District
Law of 1994, Part 7 of Division 18 of the California Streets and Highways Code
("Act"). Pursuant to the Act, property owners within the District submitted a
signed petition requesting formation of the District. The District was successfully
formed for a term of five years and a maximum assessment was approved by the
property owners through an assessment ballot proceeding, conducted according
to provisions of the California Constitution Article XIIID ("Proposition 218"). Fiscal
Year 2005/2006 was the fifth year of the term of the District. Under the provisions
of the Act, the property owners within the District may renew the District for a
maximum term of ten (10) years. Pursuant to the Code, and the provision of the
California Constitution, the property owners within the District approved the
continuation of the District and assessment for an additional five years and on
June 14th, 2016 the City authorized the funding for improvements and activities
authorized within the District for a period of five years (Fiscal Years 2016/2017
through 2020/2021).
This Management District Plan ("Plan") describes the District, improvements and
activities, method of apportionment, the proposed assessments for the current
fiscal year, and the maximum assessment proposed for the five-year duration of
the renewed District. The proposed assessments are based on the estimated
cost to provide the improvements, activities, and operations that provide a direct
and special benefit to properties within the District. The costs of improvements,
activities, and operations include all expenditures, deficits, surpluses, revenues,
and reserves.
The word "property," for the purposes of this Plan, refers to real property situated
within the District, and identified as an individual property or parcel assigned its
own Assessor's Parcel Number (APN) by the County of Riverside Assessor's
Office. The County of Riverside Auditor/Controller uses APNs to identify on the
tax roll parcels and properties assessed for taxes, special assessments, and fees
and charges.
District Renewal Process
A written petition of the property owners within the District, representing more
than 50 percent of the proposed assessment to be levied was submitted to the
Palm Desert City Council to initiate formation proceedings. The City Council
initiated proceedings for the formation of the District by adopting a resolution
2018/2019 President's Plaza III Property and Business Improvement District Page 2
WI LLDAN
FINANCIAL SERVICES
expressing its intention to form the District. The resolution of intention referenced
the Engineer's Report and the Management District Plan, and noticed the time
and place of a public hearing on the formation of the District and levy of
assessments.
Within not Tess than forty-five (45) days and not more than ninety (90) days of
adopting the resolution of intention, the City Council held a public hearing on the
matter of formation, and caused notice to the property owners pursuant to
Section 54954.6 of the Government Code. Public notices and assessment ballots
(property owner protest ballots) were mailed to each property owner at least 45
days prior to the public hearing pursuant to Article XIIID of the California
Constitution.
At the public hearing the City Council provided the public and property owners
with an opportunity to provide oral protests and written protests prior to the
adoption of the Engineer's Report and the Management District Plan. Pursuant to
the California Constitution Article XIIID, the City Clerk or its designated alternate
tabulated property owner assessment ballots received from property owners and
determined that majority protest did not exist.
Pursuant to the Act, the City Council appointed an Owner's Association
("Association") for the District. This Association shall make yearly
recommendations to the City Council on the expenditures of revenue derived
from the levy of assessments and on the classification of properties as
applicable. This Association shall cause to be prepared a report each fiscal year
for which assessments are to be levied and collected. Said annual report shall be
filed with the City Clerk and shall contain: any proposed changes to the district
boundary; the improvements and activities to be provided that year; the
estimated costs for that year; the method of assessment; the amount of any
surplus or deficit; and contributions from other sources. The City Council may
approve the report as submitted or as modified.

Description of the District
District Boundary
The District consists of all parcels located in the commercial business area
known as the President's Plaza III within the City of Palm Desert, County of
Riverside. The District includes sixteen (16) assessed commercial parcels.
The boundary of the District and the parcels therein are generally located South
of Palm Desert Drive at Highway 111; North of El Paseo; West of Sage Lane;
and East of Old Highway 74, and includes the Palm Desert Parking Lot — a lease
parcel to the City of Palm Desert located South of Highway 111; East of New
Highway 74; and West of Old Highway 74.
Improvements and Activities
In an effort to enhance and improve business opportunities and the appearance
of the area known as the President's Plaza III, the Agency provided funds for the
renovation and capital improvement of the parking lot and landscaped areas
related to this commercial business center. In conjunction with this renovation,
President's Plaza III Property and Business Improvement District was formed in
2001 to provide and ensure the continued operation and maintenance of the
improvements after the renovations had been completed. In 2006, the property
owners renewed the District for another five (5) year term. In 2010, the property
owners renewed the District for an additional five (5) year term. In 2016, the
property owners renewed the District for another additional five (5) year term;
therefore, the assessments generated will continue this maintenance. It has been
determined that all the properties within the District receive special and distinct
benefits from the improvements and activities to be funded through the
assessments. The improvements include the necessary activities, services,
operations, administration, and maintenance required to keep the improvements
in satisfactory condition including all necessary labor, material, and equipment.
The services may include, but are not limited to, regular maintenance, repair,
removal or replacement of all or any part of the improvements including removal
of trimmings, rubbish, debris and other solid waste; and, providing for the growth,
health and beauty of landscaping and lighting including cultivation, trimming,
spraying, fertilizing or treating for disease or damage as well as supplying
necessary irrigation and electrical energy. The specific improvements and
activities include:
• Parking lot landscaped areas: including, but not limited to, ground
cover, shrubs, trees, plants, irrigation and drainage systems and
associated appurtenant facilities;
• Parking lot lighting facilities: including, but not limited to, bulbs,
fixtures, poles, wiring, and electrical energy; and,

• Debris removal: including, but not limited to, regular mechanical
sweeping of the parking lot.
The costs associated with the improvements are equitably spread among the
benefiting parcels within the District utilizing the method of apportionment
described in the Method of Apportionment section of this Report. The total funds
collected shall be dispersed and used for the services and operations provided to
the District.
Special Benefits of the Improvements and
Activities
Assessed properties within the District receive special benefits from one or more
of the improvements and activities funded through the District assessments.
Specifically, lighting and landscaping amenities within the parking lot, and regular
sweeping of the parking lot.
The special benefits of lighting (parking lot lights) are the convenience, safety,
and security of property, improvements, and goods. Specifically:
1. Enhanced deterrence of crime and the aid to police protection;
2. Increased nighttime safety for patrons and employees;
3. Improved visibility for pedestrians and motorists;
4. Improved ingress and egress to property;
5. Reduced vandalism and other criminal acts and damage to
improvements or property;
6. Enhanced aesthetic appeal of the parking area and the properties that
are associated with the parking area;
7. Increased promotion of business activities and opportunities during
nighttime hours; and,
8. The special enhancement to the value of property, which results from
the above benefits.
The benefits associated with landscaped islands and medians within the parking
lot are specifically:
1. Improved aesthetic appeal of the parking area and nearby parcels;
2. Improved dust control;
3. Enhanced adaptation of the urban environment within the natural
environment;
4. Improved traffic circulation;
5. A positive representation of the businesses within the District;
2018/2019 President's Plaza III Property and Business Improvement District Page 5

FINANCIAL SERVICES
6. Centralized locations for refuse collection facilities; and,
7. The special enhancement to the value of property, which results from
the above benefits.
Parking lot sweeping is an essential and necessary activity for all properties —
particularly commercial properties. This improvement is funded through the
assessments solely for the special benefit of properties within the District. The
benefits associated with this service are:
1. Enhanced aesthetic appeal of the parking area and the properties that
are associated with the parking area;
2. Improved dust control;
3. The special enhancement to the value of property, which results from
the above benefits.
The on -going operation and maintenance of the landscaping, lighting and
sweeping improvements provide no measurable general benefit to other
properties outside the District or to the public at large. Therefore, these
improvements and the corresponding assessments have been identified as
100% special benefit to parcels within the District.

Method of Apportionment
Method of Apportionment Rationale
The costs of the District improvements have each been apportioned by a formula
and method, which fairly distributes the net amount to be assessed among all
assessed parcels in proportion to the estimated special benefits to be received
by each parcel from the improvements.
Parking Lot Improvements and Services
All assessed parcels within the President's Plaza III PBID have use of, and
access to, a centralized parking facility (lot) that provides access, parking, and
delivery areas for the businesses and parcels within the District. Because the
parking area is a centralized facility used and accessed by all properties within
the District, each parcel's benefit is based on the size of such parcel. Therefore,
it has been determined that a fair and reasonable reflection of each parcel's
benefit for the parking lot improvements shall be based on the approximate size,
in square feet, of each parcel.
Method of Apportionment Calculations
The Total Direct Costs of the parking lot improvements and services are
apportioned to each parcel within the District based on each parcel's lot size in
square feet. In addition to a parcel's Total Direct Cost, each parcel is assessed
for District administration expenses and a reserve fund collection (Indirect Costs).
The Indirect Costs for each parcel have been apportioned in the same manner as
Total Direct Costs. Therefore, each parcel's Total Annual Assessment is the sum
of its proportionate share of the Total Direct Costs and Total Indirect Costs.
Apportionment of Direct Costs
The Total Direct Costs estimated for parking lot improvements and services
(maintenance) are based on the estimated annual costs to maintain the
landscaping, lighting, and mechanical sweeping of the parking lot within
President's Plaza III. The Total Direct Costs are divided by the sum of the square
footage of all parcels within the District in order to establish a rate per parcel
square foot. This rate multiplied by each parcel's square footage equals the
parcel's proportionate share of the parking lot maintenance costs (rounded to the
nearest even penny). The rate provided in Table 1 is for Fiscal Year 2018/2019
only. Please refer to the District Budget (Table 4) for future assessment rates.
Total Direct Cost / Total Square Footage = Rate per Square Foot
Rate x Parcel Square Footage = Direct Cost Assessment Component

Apportionment of Indirect (Administration/Reserve) Costs
To ensure the improvements, activities, and services provided and funded
through the District are continued, each parcel will be assessed for administrative
and reserve costs (Indirect Costs). These Indirect Costs include all expenses
related to the administration of the District as well as the collection of money
towards a Reserve Fund. The Reserve Fund Collection is proposed to be slightly
under twenty-five percent (24.75%) of the annual Total Direct Costs of the
District.
Similar to the method of apportionment for Total Direct Costs, the District's
indirect costs are apportioned to each parcel based on each parcel's lot size in
square feet. The rate provided in Table 2 is for Fiscal Year 2018/2019 only.
Please refer to the District Budget (Table 41 for future assessment rates.

Annual Budget Adjustments
For the five years of the term of the PBID renewal, annual assessments may be
adjusted by the President's Plaza III PBID owners' association up to three
percent (3%) per year. Actual annual adjustments may range from zero percent
(0%) to three percent (3%). Adjustments may differ from year to year depending
on the service needs identified by the owners' association. In any event,
assessments will not exceed the levels illustrated by the District Budget (Table
4).
Any annual budget surplus or deficit will be accrued into the following year's
PBID budget. Assessments will be set accordingly, within the constraints of the
annual adjustment, to adjust for surpluses or deficits that are carried forward.

installment of assessments collected from the property tax bills. The Operating
Reserve Fund eliminates the need for the City to transfer funds from non -District
accounts to pay for District charges during the first half of each fiscal year. The
Operating Reserve Fund may also be used to offset any unforeseen costs such
as repairs, legal fees, revenue deficits, or increased costs due to inflation or
contractual agreements that are greater than originally planned. The Operating
Reserve Fund Collection amount is slightly less than three and a half percent
(3.44%) of the annual Total Direct Costs of the District in Fiscal Year 2018/2019.
Parking Lot Maintenance Fund Collection: The Parking Lot Maintenance Fund
provides funds for the sealing and re -striping of the parking lot after the fourth
year of the renewal term of the District. The parking lot's total surface area is
approximately 184,000 square feet. During December 2005, the District's cost of
sealing and re -striping the parking lot was $27,200 (15.5 cents per square foot
multiplied by 175,520 square feet of surface area) and its cost of repairs within
the parking lot was $24,300 (for 8,500 square feet of surface area); for a total
cost of $51,500. The cost of sealing and re -striping the parking lot's total surface
area of 184,000 square feet would have been approximately $28,520 (15.5 cents
per square foot multiplied by 184,000 square feet of surface area).
Insurance: This line item supports insurance costs for the operation of the
District.
Levy Breakdown
Total District Costs: This is the sum total of all budgeted Direct and Indirect

Footage. The rate is calculated to four decimal places.
Levy Rate per Indirect Costs per Square Foot: This amount represents the
Rate for Indirect Costs being applied to each assessed parcel's individual lot
square footage. The Levy Rate per Indirect Costs is the result of dividing the
estimated Total Indirect Costs for that year by the sum of the District's Total
Parcels Square Footage. The rate is calculated to four decimal places.
Total Levy Rate per Square Foot: This amount represents the Rate being
applied to each assessed parcel's individual lot square footage. The Levy Rate

calculated to four decimal places.
District Budget
The District Budget shown on the following table (Table 4), lists the estimated
costs of providing the various improvements and services within the District. The
costs and the resulting rates for Fiscal Year 2016/2017 through Fiscal Year
2020/2021 are based on the estimated costs to provide the improvements and
services for each year. Direct Costs, District and County Administration Costs,
and Insurance Costs are adjusted for the three percent (3%) inflation factor.
The owners' association, appointed by the City Council, will annually review the
District costs and make recommendations for any changes or adjustments to the
budget. Changes to the budget could result in changes to the annual
assessment, but the resulting total assessment may not exceed the maximum
rates established in this Report without first obtaining property owner approval
through assessment ballots.
