Background:
Resolution No. 04-50
Resolution No. 04-51
The City of Palm Desert administers 29 individual landscape and lighting districts,
referred to as the Consolidated Palm Desert Landscape and Lighting District. These
districts were established to pay for the maintenance of perimeter landscaping and
streetlighting that benefits residential subdivisions. Each year the City prepares an
annual budget for each district, which is reviewed and approved by the City Council.
The budgeted amounts within each district are levied and collected through each
parcel's property tax bill.
Over the last year staff has been working with the landscape and lighting districts to
develop a plan that will make the districts more efficient and self-supporting. In
November of 2003, the City Council and Redevelopment Agency approved a project to
renovate 18 outdated and inefficient districts. The goals of the project are:
1. To provide new water efficient landscaping and irrigation system for outdated
districts;
2. To reduce the annual maintenance and utility costs; and
3. To develop a self-supporting district with well maintained landscaping that would
enhance the City and the neighborhoods.
In order to qualify for the renovation, the City Council and Redevelopment Agency
required each district to approve an increase to their existing levy to match the new
maintenance costs after renovation. Staff identified 18 districts qualified for renovation
and 12 of the districts would require an increase to the annual levy to match the new
maintenance costs after renovation. As required by Proposition 218, an increase to a
levy requires approval of the property owners through a ballot proceeding.
On May 13, 2004, ballots for the 12 districts were counted and 9 out of the 12 districts
approved their new levy. During the next six months, the City will be renovating 15 out
of the 18 districts. The three districts that will not be renovated are:
• Palm Gate (East side of Deep Canyon, 1,200 feet north of Fred Waring Drive)
• Hovley West (Southeast corner of Monterey Avenue and Hovley Lane West)
• Hovley Collection (South side of Hovley Lane West, 600 feet east of Monterey
Avenue)
Discussion:
Each year the City prepares an annual budget for each district within the Consolidated
Palm Desert Landscape and Lighting District. The attached resolutions allow the City
to:
1. Initiate the proceedings to levy and collect annual assessments for all landscape
and lighting districts for Fiscal Year 2004/2005;

Resolution NO. 04-51
2. Grant preliminary approval of the Engineers' Report for Fiscal Year 2004/2005;
and
3. Sets a Public Hearing date for June 24, 2004.
The Engineers' Report includes a detailed budget for all districts, including those that
will be renovated and the three districts that denied the levy increase. The three
districts that denied the levy increase will continue with their existing levy, but the level
of service will be modified to match the funds available for operating costs.
Attached to the report is Table 1-1, which summarize the annual levies for each district
and identifies which districts will be renovated.
Conclusion:
Staff recommends that the City Council approved the attached resolutions initiating the
process to levy and collect annual assessment for the Consolidated Palm Desert
Landscape and Lighting District.

Consolidated Palm Desert Landscaping and Lighting
Maintenance Assessment District
Engineer's Repor, Fiscal. Year 2:C4.'
I. Overview
A. Introduction
The City of Palm Desert (hereafter referred to as "City") annually levies and collects special
assessments in order to provide and maintain improvements within the Consolidated Palm
Desert Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance Assessment District (hereafter referred to as
"District"). The District was formed in 1993, through the consolidation of several individual
landscaping and lighting maintenance districts that previously existed within the City. The
original districts and subsequent annexations of various territories and developments to the
Consolidated District are identified as separate Zones and/or Sub -zones (hereafter referred
to jointly as `Zones"). The District and the Zones therein have been established and are
levied annual assessments pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act f 1972, Part 2 if
Dizision 15 f the Cliforna Struts and Higlnzzajs Cale (hereafter referred to as the "1972 Act").
This Engineer's Annual Levy Report (hereafter referred to as the "Report") describes the
District and improvements, any proposed changes to the District or improvements and the
proposed budgets and assessments for fiscal year 2004/05. The proposed assessments are
based on the City's estimated cost to maintain the improvements that provide special benefit
to properties within the District. The various improvements within the District and the costs
of those improvements are identified and budgeted separately for each Zone, including all
expenditures, deficits, surpluses, revenues, and reserves. Each parcel within a Zone is
assessed proportionately for only those improvements provided in that Zone from which
the parcel receives special benefit.
The word "parcel," for the purposes of this Report, refers to an individual property assigned
its own Assessment Number by the Riverside County Assessor's Office. The Riverside
County Auditor/Controller uses Assessment Numbers and specific Fund Numbers, to
identify on the tax roll, properties assessed for special district benefit assessments.
At a noticed Public Hearing, the City Council will consider all testimony and written
comments presented and may direct any necessary modifications to the Report and approve
the Report as submitted or amended. Following approval of the Report, the City Council by
resolution, shall order the improvements to be made, and confirm the levy and collection of
assessments pursuant to the 1972 Act. The assessment rates and method of apportionment
described in this Report as approved by the City Council defines the assessments to be
applied to each parcel within the District for fiscal year 2004/05. The assessments as
approved will be submitted to the Riverside County Auditor/Controller to be included on
the property tax roll for each parcel for the fiscal year.
If any parcel submitted for collection is identified by the County Auditor/Controller to be
an invalid parcel number for the current fiscal year, a corrected parcel number and/or new
parcel numbers will be identified and resubmitted to the County Auditor/Controller. The
assessment amount to be levied and collected for the resubmitted parcel or parcels shall be

based on the method of apportionment and assessment rate described in this report and
approved by the City Council.
B. Compliance with the Current Legislation
The City Council annually conducts a public hearing to accept public comments and
testimony, to review the Report and adopt the annual assessments to be levied on the
County tax roll for the fiscal year. The assessments described in this Report and
subsequently approved by the City Council have been prepared in accordance with the 1972
Act and in compliance with the provisions of the Galifomia Constitution, A aide XIIID
(hereafter referred to as the "Article XIIID"), which was enacted by the passage of
Proposition 218 in November 1996.
In compliance with the provisions of Article XIIID, in fiscal year 1997/98, the City
conducted property owner ballot proceedings for the special benefit assessments applicable
to each of the existing Zones within the Consolidated District. At that time, the assessments
presented to property owners included the assessment range formula previously established
for the District and described in this Report. Upon tabulation of the ballots returned, it was
determined that majority protest did not exist and the City Council approved and adopted
the assessments and assessment range formula balloted and approved by the property
owners. Similar proceedings have been conducted for all new or increased assessments
including any annexations to the District.
C. General Description of the District and Services
The City annually levies and collects assessments in order to maintain and service various
improvements within the District. For fiscal year 2004/05 the District is comprised of
twenty-eight (28) separate benefit Zones, each funding specific improvements and services.

The District provides for the maintenance and operation of local landscaping and lighting
improvements and associated appurtenances located within the public right-of-ways and
dedicated landscape easements. The improvements and the annual costs of those
improvements are identified and budgeted separately for each Zone, including all
expenditures, deficits, surpluses, revenues, and reserves.
MunzFinancial Page 3
Consolidated Palm Desert Landscaping and Lighting
Maintenance Assessment District
Engineer's Report. Fiscal. Year 22:,4/O3
The improvements provided and for which parcels are levied special benefit assessments
within the District can be categorized as three (3) improvement types.
1. Local street lighting (residential street lighting associated with the properties within the
Zone and specific subdivisions).
Local landscaping improvements including parkways, perimeters, entryways, local
medians, and internal landscaped amenities.
3. Special Zone services including tree trimming, graffiti and weed abatement and
landscape maintenance of flood control areas (retention and detention basins).
The costs associated with the improvements authorized by the provisions of the 1972 Act
are equitably spread among all benefiting parcels in proportion to the special benefit they
receive. Only parcels that receive special benefits from the improvements are assessed, and
each Zone consists of parcels that benefit from those specific improvements.
Landscape improvements maintained by the District and associated with each Zone were
either installed as a condition of development or were installed for the benefit of the
properties assessed. The landscape improvements associated with each Zone may include,
but are not limited to: open space areas, medians, parkways, slopes, retention or detention
basin areas, and public right-of-ways or easements that provide special benefits to the
parcels. These improvements may include, but are not limited to: turf, ground cover, shrubs
and trees, irrigation systems, decorative lighting, water features, entry monuments, drainage
systems, hardscapes and associated appurtenances. Similar to landscape improvements, street
lighting improvements funded through District assessments were installed for the benefit of
properties within each of the Zones and the assessments provide for the maintenance,
operation and energy costs related to those street light improvements.

II. SPECIFIC IMPROVEMENTS AND SPECIAL BENEFIT ZONES
The boundaries of each Zone, the location of improvements and special benefit received by
the properties and property owners within each Zone are described in this section of the
Report. In any given fiscal year, City staff will determine the scope of work for each Zone as
assessment revenues allow. Any necessary reductions in the scope of work will likely include,
but are not limited to; the frequency of mowing and edging turf areas; the application of
fertilizers and aeration of turf; trimming and pruning of shrubs, trees and ground cover,
trash pick-up in landscaping areas; and, weed and litter control. The allocation of special
benefit and general benefit of the improvements provided within the District are
summarized in the Method of Apportionment section of this Report and are identified in the
budget for each Zone. A description of the District improvements and the level of annual
service each Zone will receive are provided in the following:
Zone # 2 (Canyon Cove):
Zone > 2 includes Tracts 11636-1, 2, 3, & 4 and Tract 23485, generally located South of
Deep Canyon Tennis Club, North of Haystack Road, West of Marrakesh Country Club, and
East of Highway 74. The streets within the Zone include Ambrosia Street, Sweetbrush Lane,
Deer Grass Drive, Lotus Court, Calliandra Street, Aber Street, and Alamo Drive.
These parcels benefit from the maintenance and operation of street lighting encompassing
all streets within the Zone, the landscaped parkway along the East side of Highway 74 and
the landscaped areas on the North side of Haystack Road, adjacent to the above mentioned •
tracts and installed as part of these residential developments.
All interior local street lighting has been identified and allocated as 100% special benefit with
no general benefit allocation. The parkway landscaping along Highway 74 has been
identified as 100% special benefit to the parcels within the Zone. However, it has been
determined that the landscaped median on Haystack Road (although installed as part of the
development) not only provides a special benefit to properties within Canyon Cove, but also
provides a general benefit. The proportionate general benefit of this improvement has been
identified and eliminated from the Zone assessments. Although there is a general benefit
component, the majority of the median landscaping on Haystack Road (83%) is a flood
control channel and was required for development of the homes within Canyon Cove.
Therefore, pursuant to Article XIIID Section 5a (assessments used to fund flood control and
drainage systems) the majority of the costs for this landscaped area could be considered
exempt. However, in recognition of the general benefit this improvement area provides and
the previous assessments applied to properties within the Zone, it was determined that the
City would fund a large portion of the costs associated with this landscaped median area.
Refer to the budget section of this Report for details on the allocation of benefit and related
assessments.

Engineer's Report, Fiscal Year 2C ••4 ' 5
Zone # 3 (Vineyards):
Zone # 3 consists of all parcels in Tracts 12181-1 and 12181-2 on the West side of Portola
Avenue. The streets within the Zone include Martini Court, Heitz Court, Mondavi Court,
Callaway Court, Stony Hill Court, Masson Street, Krug Avenue, Sebastian Way, and San
Pasqual Avenue/Rutledge Way.
These parcels receive special benefits from the operation and maintenance of street lighting
improvements within the Zone boundaries and the landscaped area along the West side of
Portola Avenue, from the northern boundary- to the southern boundary of the two tracts.
Both the street lighting and landscape improvements identified for this Zone were installed
as part of the residential development and the ongoing maintenance and operation of these
improvements provide special benefits to properties within the Zone. It has further been
deterniined that these improvements were installed and are maintained solely for the benefit
of properties within the Zone and the improvements provide no measurable benefit to
properties outside the Zone. Any benefit conveyed to other properties or to the public at
large (general benefit) is incidental. Therefore, both the interior tract street lighting and the
parkway (perimeter) landscaping costs have been identified and apportioned 100% as a
special benefit to all parcels within the Zone.
Zone # 4 (Parkview Estates):
Zone # 4 consists of the parcels in Tract 8237, South of Magnesia Falls Drive, North of Fred
Waring Drive, West of Deep Canyon Road, and East of Portola Avenue.
These parcels receive special benefits from the operation and maintenance of street lighting
along Primrose Drive, Desert Star Boulevard, Vanda Circle, Palmilla Circle, Mvrsine Avenue,
Gazania Place, Rutledge Avenue, Buttonwood Drive, Silk -tree Lane, Santolina Drive, Balsam
Lane, and Erin Street. The street lighting improvements were installed as part of the
residential development and are considered a special benefit to the properties within the
development (i.e., Zone). The ongoing operation and maintenance of interior residential
street lighting provides no measurable general benefit to properties outside the Zone or to
the public at large. To the extent that some streetlights associated with the Zone are located
on the perimeter of the residential development and provides direct illumination to parcels
outside the Zone, a portion of the maintenance costs has been identified as a general benefit.
This Zone has twenty interior streetlights and five perimeter streetlights resulting in an
allocation of the Zone costs as 9C% special benefit and 10% general benefit.
Zone # 5 (Cook and Country Club):
Zone # 5 consists of three (3) separate residential subdivisions identified as Sub -zones. These
three Sub -zones are known and identified the Desert Mirage (Tract 25639), Sandcastles
(Tract 21338-1), and Primrose 2 (Tract 25436). Each of these Sub -zones has specific local
improvements maintained by the District that were installed as part of these residential
developments.

1`laintenance Assessment District
Engineer's Repor., Fiscal Year 2::4 /D5
These three subdivisions were originally part of a larger Zone known as Cook and Country
Club and were proportionately assessed for median landscaping in the area as well as their
local (tract specific) improvements. In fiscal year 1997/98 it was determined that the median
landscaping in the Cook and Country Club area was largely a general benefit and this portion
of the assessment was eliminated. However, it was determined that the parcels within these
three (3) Sub -zones receive special benefit from tract specific improvements maintained by
the District, and each parcel within the respective Sub -zones should continue to be assessed
proportionately for the cost of services associated with those local improvements.
Upon review of the specific street lighting improvements associated with each of these Sub -
zones, all street lighting facilities have been identified as interior tract streetlights. These
streetlights provide little or no direct illumination to parcels outside the Sub -zones and
therefore the cost of maintaining these improvements are allocated as 100% special benefit
with no general benefit.
Upon review, it has been determined that fifteen percent (15%) of the improvements within
the Desert Mirage Sub -Zone are of a general benefit to those properties outside of the Sub -
zone. Therefore, this percentage of the costs of maintaining the Sub -zone has been removed
from the assessment and must be funded from other sources.
The property owners in Sub -zone known as Desert Mirage were balloted in fiscal year
2004/05 for an increase in their maximum assessment rates. The proposed levy increase
would fund new maintenance costs required after the City of Palm Desert renovated the
improvements with water efficient landscaping and irrigation systems. Majority protest did
not exist, therefore the City will move forward with the plans to renovate the improvements
in the Desert Mirage Sub -zone. Refer to the budget for Zone 5 in Section IV of this Report
for specifics regarding the proposed assessment for the current fiscal year and the maximum
assessment.
Zone * 6 (Hovley Lane):
Parcels within this Zone are located generally East of Monterey Avenue and West of Portola
Avenue and includes parcels and tracts along Hovley Lane West. Zone 6 includes the
following subdivisions and Sub -zones:
• Monterey Meadows (Tracts 21791
and 22741)
• The Glen (Tract 25217)
• Hovley Estates (Tract 24591)
• Sonata 1 (Tract 23982)
• Sonata II (Tracts 24254 -1, 2, 3)
• Hovley Collection (Tract 24603)
• La Paloma 1 (Tract 24773-1)
• La Paloma 2 (Tract 24773)
• La Paloma 3 (Tract 29045)
• Sandpiper Court (Tract 27370)
• Hovley Court West (Tract 29585)
• Sandpiper West (Tract 29579)
• Diamondback Road (Tract 29893)

Maintenance Assessment District
Engineer's Report, Fiscal Year 304/05
The parcels within each of the thirteen (13) Sub -zones of Zone 6 (Hovley Lane) receive
benefit from various improvements that were installed as part of the separate residential
developments and are specific to each tract and subdivision. The assessment for each Sub -
zone funds and provides for the parkway landscaping improvements adjacent to each tract
along Hovley Lane as well as specific in -tract improvements. The in -tract improvements may
include street lighting; dry well and retention basin landscape maintenance; and landscaping
of additional parkway areas. The improvements within Zone 6 include street lighting on
Clover Lane, Meadow Lane, Hovley Lane West, Centennial Circle, Posada Court, Via
Fonda, Sonata Court, Avenida Arcadia, Avenida Solana, Sandpiper Court, Avenida Rosario,
Sandpiper Court West Hovley Court, and Diamondback Road; landscaped parkways along
Hovley Lane West, Monterey Avenue, Portola Avenue and landscaped retention basins
located within Hovley Estates, Hovley Collections, La Paloma 1, La Paloma 2, Sandpiper
Court, and Sandpiper Court West.
Upon review of the specific street lighting improvements associated with each of these Sub -
zones, all street lighting facilities have been identified as tract specific streetlights. To the
extent that some streetlights associated with the individual Sub -zones are located on the
perimeter of the development and provide direct illumination to parcels outside the
subdivision, a portion of the maintenance costs (15%) have been identified as a general
benefit component. Therefore, the cost of maintaining the street light improvements is
allocated as 85% special benefit to properties within each Sub -zone.
Similarly, it has been determined that a portion of the parkway landscape improvements
associated with the Glen and Hovley West Sub -zones provide a general benefit to properties
outside of these Sub -zones. Therefore, fifteen (15%) of the costs of maintaining these
landscaped areas has been removed from the assessments and will be funded from other
sources. The landscape improvements associated with each of the remaining Sub -zones
provide no measurable general benefit to properties outside the Zone or to the public at
large, and therefore, their specific local landscaping improvements and the corresponding
assessments have been identified entirely as a special benefit to parcels within the Sub -zones.
The property owners in the nine (9) Sub -zones known as The Glen, Hovley Estates, Sonata
I, Sonata II, La Paloma I, Sandpiper Court, Sandpiper West, Hovley West and Hovley
Collection, were balloted in fiscal year 2004/05 for an increase in their maximum assessment
rates. In conjunction with the assessment increase, the City proposed to renovate the
existing improvements with more water efficient landscaping and modifications to the
irrigation system.
For seven (7) of the nine (9) Sub -zones balloted, majority protest did not exist and the City
will move forward with the plans to renovate the improvements in those Sub -zones.
However, majority protest existed in Hovley West and Hovley Collection, and the proposed
assessment increase for these two Sub -zones will not be imposed. Without the additional
maintenance funding, the City will not be able to renovate the improvements for these two
Sub -zones, but will continue to maintain the existing improvements at a level of service
compensatory with the available assessment revenues at the existing assessment rates. Refer
to the budgets for Zone 6 in Section IV of this Report for specifics regarding the proposed
assessment for the current fiscal year and the maximum assessment.

Engineer's Report, Fiscal Year C 4/ :5
Zone # 7 (Waring Court):
Zone 7 consists of Tract 25304, North of Fred Waring Drive and East of Phyllis Jackson
Lane.
These parcels receive special benefit from the ongoing maintenance of landscaped parkways
along Fred Waring Drive and Phyllis Jackson Lane adjacent to the tract. The improvements
were installed as part of the residential development and it has been determined that the
operation and maintenance of the landscape improvements provide no measurable general
benefit to other properties outside the Zone or to the public at large. Therefore, the local
landscaping improvements associated with this Zone and the cost of providing these
improvements have been identified as 100% special benefit to parcels within Zone 7.
Zone # 8 (Palm Gate):
Zone 8 consists of the parcels in Tract 24287 located East of Deep Canyon Road, and
North of Fred Waring Drive, on Coral Bells Circle, Daylily Circle, and Moss Rose Drive.
These parcels receive benefit from the maintenance and operation of local street lighting at
the entrances to the development at the corners of Deep Canyon Road and Coral Bells
Circle, Daylily Circle, and Moss Rose Drive. These parcels also receive special benefit from
the maintenance of the landscaped parkways adjacent to the development on Deep Canyon
Road.
Both the street lighting and landscape improvements identified for this Zone were installed
as part of the residential development and the ongoing maintenance and operation of these
improvements provide special benefit to properties within the Zone. It has been determined
that these improvements were installed and are maintained solely for the benefit of
properties within the Zone and provide no measurable benefit to properties outside the
Zone or to the public at large. Therefore, both the interior tract street lighting and the
parkway (perimeter) landscaping costs have been identified and apportioned 100% as a
special benefit to the parcels within the Zone.
In conjunction with a proposed renovation and upgrade of the existing landscape
improvements the property owners in Zone 8 were balloted in fiscal year 2004/05 for an
increase in their maximum assessment rates. Majority protest existed and the maximum
assessment rate will not be increased over the amount previously approved for the Zone.
Since the assessment increase was not approved the City will not move forward with the
proposed renovations, but will continue to maintain the existing improvements at a level of
service compensatory with the available assessment revenues. Refer to the budget for Zone
8 in Section IV of this Report for specifics regarding the proposed assessment for the
current fiscal year and the maximum assessment.

Zone # 9 (The Grove):
Zone 9 consists of the parcels in Tract 24984 South of Goleta Avenue and West of Deep
Canyon Road.
These parcels receive special benefits from the improvements and maintenance of street
lighting at the entrance to the development at the corner of Deep Canyon Road and Royal
Canyon Lane as well as interior street lighting on Kings Canyon Lane, Indian Canyon Lane,
Hazel Canyon Lane, and Royal Canyon Lane. These parcels also receive special benefits
from the improvements and maintenance of parkway landscaping adjacent to the tract on
Deep Canyon Road, and interior landscaping, including an entryway median, parkway
landscaping and palm tree trimming within the public right-of-ways on Royal Canyon Lane
that were installed as part of the residential tract development.
Both the street lighting and landscape improvements identified for this Zone were installed
as part of the residential tract development and the ongoing maintenance and operation of
these improvements provide special benefit to properties within the Zone. It has further
been determined that these improvements were installed and are maintained solely for the
benefit of properties within the Zone and the improvements provide no measurable benefit
to properties outside the Zone or to the public at large. Therefore, both the tract street
lighting and the landscaping costs (parkways and interior landscaping) have been identified
and apportioned 100% as a special benefit to the parcels within the Zone.
As part of the overall landscaping costs for this Zone, specialized maintenance (palm tree
trimming) is budgeted separately as this service is not covered under the regular maintenance
contract the City has with their landscape contractor. However, like other landscape
maintenance within the Zone this service benefits only the properties within the Zone and
has been identified 100% special benefit.
Zone # 11 (Portola Place):
Zone 11 is generally located South of Santa Rosa Way and East of Portola Avenue and
consists of all parcels in Tract 27692.
These parcels receive special benefits from the servicing and maintenance of the landscaped
parkways adjacent to the tract on Portola Avenue and Santa Rosa Way, and interior tract
landscaping on Olive Court installed as part of the residential development.
The developer (D & F Development) was conditioned to form the necessary District Zone
for the public improvements that would be installed as part of subdivision tract 27692. In a
letter to the City dated April 4, 1994, the developer (sole owner of the property at that time)
requested inclusion of the parcels within the tract into the District and to be assessed
annually for the cost of maintaining the improvements. This letter constitutes a 100%
landowner petition pursuant to Article XIIID and supports a position that the assessments
imposed prior to July 1, 1997 were exempt from the requirements of Article XIID.
rLitotiF&un ial Page 11
Consolidated Palm Desert Landscaping and Lighting
Maintenance Assessment District
Engineer's Report, Fiscal Year 2CV4 / 05
Although the assessments for these improvements were identified as exempt in fiscal year
1997/98 and not subject to the procedural requirements of a protest balloting procedure, the
improvements and the related assessments for this Zone were identified as 100% special
benefit. It has been determined that the ongoing operation and maintenance of the
improvements provide no measurable general benefit to other properties outside the Zone
or to the public at large. Therefore, these improvements, the corresponding assessments and
the annual inflationary adjustment previously approved by landowner petition are in
compliance with the substantive requirements of the proposition. However, any future
increases to the assessments will require property owner ballot proceedings.
Zone # 13 (Palm Desert Country Club):
Zone 13 is located generally South of Hovley Lane East, North of Fred Waring Drive, West
of Warner Trail, and West of Washington and is commonly referred to as the Palm Desert
Country Club area.
The parcels within this Zone receive special benefits from the servicing and maintenance of
entryway landscaping on State Street and Washington Avenue, parkway landscaping along
Fred Waring Drive and local residential street lighting within the Zone.
Parcels within Zone 13 were annexed into the City in fiscal year 1994/95. Prior to City
annexation the local improvements within this Zone were assessed and collected by the
County through a County Service Area (CSA). When the properties were annexed to the
City, the City established this territory as Zone 13 within the District and the CSA fund
balance was transferred to the Zone 13 account. For the first two years, the City used the
fund balance to fully cover the annual cost of providing the improvements. In fiscal year
1996/97 the remaining fund balance was designated as reserves and the District levied its
first annual assessment for the Zone. Because the reserve fund balance was greater than the
amount typically held in reserves, the City Council determined that a portion of the reserves
would be used each year to offset the annual expenditures thereby allowing the annual
assessments to remain fairly constant and also gradually reduce the reserve fund to normal
levels. In fiscal year 1997/98, in compliance with Article XIIID, a property owner ballot
proceeding was conducted to approve the existing annual assessment. At that time, the
property owners approved the proposed assessment amount plus an annual inflation
adjustment. The assessment amount approved by the property owners was based on the
continued policy of utilizing reserve fund contributions to offset the actual expenses for the
Zone.
In fiscal year 1999/00, property owners within Zone 13 were re -balloted for an increased
assessment to cover the maintenance costs associated with the new landscaping
improvements to be installed on Fred Waring Drive. Property owners were balloted for an
amount sufficient to cover the actual Zone expenses, although a portion of the existing
reserves continued to be used to reduce the annual assessments. Refer to the budget for
Zone 13 in Section IV of this Report for specifics regarding the proposed assessment for the
current fiscal year and the maximum assessment.

Engineer's Report, Fiscal Year 233435
The street lighting and landscape improvements assessed within this Zone clearly provide
special benefits to properties within the Zone. It has been determined that the
improvements were installed and are maintained solely for the benefit of properties within
the Zone and the improvements provide no measurable benefit to properties outside the
Zone or to the public at large. Therefore, both the street lighting and the landscaping costs
(parkways and interior landscaping) have been identified and apportioned 100% as a special
benefit to parcels within the Zone.
Zone # 14 (K & B at Palm Desert):
Zone 14 is located generally North of Frank Sinatra Drive, West of Portola Avenue, East of
Monterey Avenue and South of Gerald Ford Drive. The Zone includes the parcels in Tracts
28258 and 28258-1.
The properties within the boundaries of Zone 14 benefit from street lighting within the
development located on Drexell Drive, Heatherwood Drive, Emerson Drive and Jamerson
Road, and Colebridge Street, as well as landscaping associated with the retention basin area
located on Heatherwood Drive and dry well areas within the subdivisions installed by the
developer as part of the residential development.
In conjunction with a proposed renovation and upgrade of the existing landscape
improvements, the property owners in Zone 14 were balloted in fiscal year 2004/05 for an
increase in their maximum assessment rates. Majority protest did not exist, and based on the
approval of the new assessment rate, the City will move forward with the plans to renovate
the improvements with more water efficient landscaping and modifications to the irrigation
system. Refer to the budget for Zone 14 in Section IV of this Report for specifics regarding
the proposed assessment for the current fiscal year and the maximum assessment.
Zone # 15 (Canyon Crest):
Zone 15 consists of Tract 25102-1 and 25102 generally located east of Deep Canyon Road,
south of the Whitewater River Channel, north of Moss Rose Drive, and west of the Palm
Desert High School. This Zone was established and annexed to the District on March 11,
1999 pursuant to the Act and a property owner ballot proceeding.
These parcels receive special benefit from the operation and maintenance of landscaped
parkways along the east side of Deep Canyon Road from Magnesia Falls (Whitewater River
Channel), south to the end of the development (approximately 100 feet north of
Buttonwood Drive); perimeter landscaping along the Whitewater River Channel (the
northern boundary of the development and District) from Deep Canyon Road eastward to
the western boundary, of the development (approximately 675 linear feet of the total 1275
feet is landscaped).
The improvements for this Zone were installed as part of the residential developments. It
has been determined that the ongoing operation and maintenance of the landscape
improvements provide no measurable general benefit to other properties outside the Zone
or to the public at large. Therefore, the local landscaping improvements associated with this
MeaiFinzntial Page 13

Engineer's Report. Fiscal Year C 4.'��
Zone and the associated annual costs have been identified as 100% special benefit to parcels
within Zone 15. Refer to the budget for Zone 15 in Section IV of this Report for specifics
regarding the proposed assessment for the current fiscal year and the maximum assessment.
Zone # 16 (Shepard Lane):
Sub -Zone College View Estates II:
The Sub -zone consists of the lots, parcels and properties within the residential subdivision
known as College View Estates II within the development area known as Shepherd Lane
located along Shepherd Lane, west of Portola Avenue, south of the Gerald Ford Drive,
north of Frank Sinatra Dive, and generally west of the Monterey Avenue.
The properties within College View Estates II receive special benefit from the maintenance
and operation of:
• Parkway/perimeter landscaping on both sides of Shepherd Lane and the west
side of Portola Avenue adjacent to the residential subdivision, installed as part of
the development of properties therein;
• Street lights within and adjacent to the residential subdivision.
The improvements for this Sub -zone were installed as part of the residential development. It
has been determined that the ongoing operation and maintenance of the landscape and
lighting improvements provide no measurable general benefit to other properties outside the
Sub -zone or to the public at large. Therefore, the local landscaping and lighting
improvements associated with this Sub -zone and the associated annual costs have been
identified as 100% special benefit to parcels within Sub -zone. Refer to the budget for Zone
16 in Section IV of this Report for specifics regarding the proposed assessment for the
current fiscal year and the maximum assessment.
Sub -Zone Sundance:
The Sub -zone consists of the lots and parcels within the residential subdivision known as
Sundance (Tract 30216) located on the west side of Shepherd Lane at Chinook Circle and
Kokopelli Circle. This tract is generally located west of Portola Avenue, south of the Gerald
Ford Drive, north of Frank Sinatra Dive and generally east of the Monterey Avenue.
• Tract No. 30216 (Kokopelli Circle) — Sixteen (16) single-family residential
parcels (lots 1-16) and two landscape easements (lot F and portion of lot E)
located on the west side of Shepherd Lane at Kokopelli Circle.
• Tract No. 30216 (Chinook Circle) — Sixteen (16) single-family residential parcels
(lots 17-32) and two landscape easements (lot D and portion of lot E) located on
the west side of Shepherd Lane at Chinook Circle.
The properties within Sundance receive special benefit from the maintenance and
operation of:

• Parkway landscaping along Shepherd Lane adjacent to the residential
subdivision. Specifically the parkway area on the west side of Shepherd Lane
which extends the length of Tract 30216;
• A portion of the costs for the perimeter/parkway landscaping on the west side of
Portola Avenue between Frank Sinatra Dive and Gerald Ford Drive associated
with the development;
• Streetlights within the residential subdivision and/or adjacent to the subdivision
on both the east and west sides of Shepherd Lane and the west side of Portola
Avenue installed as part of the residential subdivision; and,
• Any extension or expansion of the proposed landscaped areas within or adjacent
to the subdivision that may be installed as part of the development of properties
within the District and will be maintained by the District. These improvements
may include, but are not limited to open space areas, monuments or other
landscaped easements.
The improvements for this Sub -zone were installed as part of the residential development. It
has been determined that the ongoing operation and maintenance of the landscape and
lighting improvements provide no measurable general benefit to other properties outside the
Sub -zone or to the public at large. Therefore, the local landscaping and lighting
improvements associated with this Sub -zone and the associated annual costs have been
identified as 100% special benefit to parcels within Sub -zone. Refer to the budget for Zone
16 in Section IV of this Report for specifics regarding the proposed assessment for the
current fiscal year and the maximum assessment.

Engineer's Report. Fiscal Year 2.:':;4/725
III. Method of Apportionment
A. General
The 1972 Act permits the establishment of assessment districts by agencies for the purpose of
providing certain public improvements which include the construction, maintenance and
servicing of public lights, landscaping and appurtenant facilities. The 1972 Act further requires
that the cost of these improvements be levied according to benefit rather than assessed value:
"The net a,nxrnt to be assessed argon lands within an assessnrnt district n iy lx apportioned by any
formula or nrtlxxi which fairly distributes the net amaunt arrnng all assessable lots or panrls in
prt onion to the estinnted lays to be naived by each such lot or panrl_from the in tw arms. "
The formula used for calculating assessments in each Zone of the District therefore reflects the
composition of the parcels, and the improvements and services provided, to fairly apportion the
costs based on estimated benefit to each parcel.
In addition, pursuant to Article XIIID Section 4 (with some exceptions) a parcel's assessment
may not exceed the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel
and provides that only special benefits are assessable and the District must separate the general
benefits from the special benefits. Therefore, in compliance with the new assessment
requirements only assessments that are identified as either "Exempt Assessments" or "Special
Benefit Assessments" are assessed. The costs of any improvements considered to be "General
Benefit" have been eliminated from the District assessments.
B. Benefit Analysis
Each of the proposed improvements, the associated costs and assessments has been carefully
reviewed by the City and have been identified and allocated based on benefit pursuant to the
provisions of the 1972 Act and Article XIIID of the California Constitution. Each improvement
and the associated costs have been identified as either "general benefits" (not assessed) or
"special benefits". Although some existing assessments within the District qualified as exempt
assessments pursuant to Article XIIID, Section 5 of the Constitution and did not require a ballot
proceeding under the provisions of Section 4, the improvements associated with these
assessments are considered a special benefit to the assessed properties and are in compliance
with the substantive requirements of Article XIIID Section 4. All the maximum assessment rates
shown in this report are consistent with the provisions of Article XIIID and any new or
increased assessments shall be subject to the provisions of Section 4 therein.
Special Benefits
The method of apportionment (method of assessment) is based on the premise that each of the
assessed parcels within the District and Zones receives benefit from the improvements
maintained and financed by District assessments. Specifically, the assessments associated with
each Zone are for the maintenance of local street lighting and landscaped improvements
Mw iFintrxhal Page 16
Consolidated Palm Desert Landscaping and Lighting
Maintenance assessment District
Engineer's Report, Fiscal Year 2 04/ 5
installed as part of the original development of the parcels within the Zones or were later
installed for the benefit of those properties. The desirability and security of properties within
each Zone is enhanced by the presence of street lighting and well -maintained landscaping in
close proximity to those properties.
The landscape improvements provided by the District may include landscaped medians,
parkways, entryways, slopes and appurtenant facilities. Street lighting improvements may include
all energy costs and necessary maintenance to the facilities related thereto. The annual
assessments outlined in this Report are proposed to cover the estimated costs to provide
necessary service, operation, administration, and maintenance required each year to keep these
improvements in a healthy, vigorous, and satisfactory condition.
The special benefits associated with the local landscaping improvements are specifically
• Enhanced desirability of properties through association with the improvements.
• Improved aesthetic appeal of properties within the Zones providing a positive
representation of the area.
• Enhanced adaptation of the urban environment within the natural environment from
adequate green space and landscaping.
• Environmental enhancement through improved erosion resistance, and dust and debris
control.
• Increased sense of pride in ownership of property within the District resulting from well -
maintained improvements associated with the properties.
• Reduced criminal activity and property related crimes (especially vandalism) against
properties in the District through well -maintained surroundings and amenities including
abatement of graffiti.
• Enhanced environmental quality of the parcels within the Zones by moderating
temperatures, providing oxygenation and attenuating noise.
The special benefits of street lighting are the convenience, safety, and security of property,
improvements, and goods. Specifically:

All of the preceding special benefits contribute to a specific enhancement and desirability of
each of the assessed parcels.
General Benefits
Prior to the passage of Proposition 218, some of the District assessments included maintenance
of landscaped medians on various arterial streets within the City. However, since the
maintenance of most arterial medians within the City were funded by the Cir 's General Fund, it
was determined that the existing assessments for these improvements were not a special benefit
and in Fiscal year 1997/98 the District assessments related to arterial medians were eliminated.
In addition, any improvement and the associated costs that are considered a general benefit to
properties outside the respective Zones or to the public at large have been identified and
eliminated from the annual assessments. In making this determination it should be noted that all
parkway, perimeter landscaping and interior landscaping within the City is either funded and
maintained by individual property owners or through some type of association, except those
maintained and funded through a special District. The City does not usually maintain these types
of improvements from General Fund Revenues and like other similar improvements within the
City, the ongoing maintenance of these improvements are a special benefit to the properties
associated with the improvements.
C. Assessment Methodology
Pursuant to the 1972 Act, the costs of the District may be apportioned by any formula or
method that fairly distributes the net amount to be assessed, among all assessable parcels in
proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each such parcel from the improvements.
The apportionment of costs used for each Zone should reflect the composition of the parcels,
and the improvements and services provided based on each parcel's estimated special benefit.
Equivalent Benefit Units: To assess benefits equitably, it is necessary to relate the different
type of parcel improvements to each other. The Equivalent Benefit Unit method of assessment
apportionment uses the single-family home as the basic unit of assessment. A single family home
equals one Equivalent Benefit Unit (EBU). Every other land use is converted to EBUs based on
an assessment formula that equates the property's specific development status, type of
development (land use), and size of the property, as compared to a single-family home (SFR).
The EBU method of apportioning benefit is typically seen as the most appropriate and equitable
assessment methodology for districts formed under the 1972 Act, as the benefit to each parcel
from the improvements are apportioned as a function of land use type, size and development.
Assessed parcels within Zones 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 14, 15 and 16 are single-family residential
parcels and the application of the EBU method of spread results in an equal assessment.
The following table reflects the various property types and applicable EBUs that may be applied
to properties within Zone 13.

Exempt parcels include easements and landscaped areas or common areas.
The benefit formula applied to parcels in each Zone is based on the preceding Equivalent
Benefit Unit (EBU) tables. Each parcel's EBU correlates the parcel's special benefit received as
compared to all other parcels in the Zone.
Parcel Type EBU x Acres or Units =Parcel EBU
Total Balance to Levy in Zone / Total EBU in Zone = Levy per EBU
Levy per EBUx Parcel EBU = Parcel Levy Amount
D. Assessment Range Formula
Any new or increase in assessments, require certain noticing and meeting requirements by law.
The Brown Act defines the terms "new or increased assessment" to exclude certain conditions.
These certain conditions included "any assessment that does not exceed an assessment formula
or range of assessments previously adopted by the agency or approved by the voters in the area
where the assessment is imposed." This definition was later confirmed by Senate Bill 919 (the
Proposition 218 implementing legislation).
An assessment range formula for the District assessments has been confirmed through property
owner ballot proceedings in compliance with Article XIIID, except those existing assessments
within the District which qualified as exempt assessments pursuant to Article XIIID, Section 5
of the Constitution and did not require a ballot proceeding under the provisions of Section 4.
The assessment range formula shall be applied to all future assessments within the District. The
following describes this assessment range formula:
Wherein, if the proposed assessment (levy per unit or rate) is less than or equal to, the
prior year's maximum assessment plus the adjustments described in the following, then
the proposed assessment is not considered an increased assessment. The purpose of
establishing an assessment range formula is to provide for reasonable increases and
.i w iFinanaal Page 19
Consolidated Palm Desert Landscaping and Lighting
'.Maintenance Assessment District
Engineer's Report, Fiscal Year 20.04 '05
inflationary adjustment to the assessment amounts without requiring costly noticing and
mailing procedures, which would be added to the District costs and assessments.
If the proposed assessment is less than the maximum assessment approved in the
previous fiscal year adjusted by a percentage no greater than three percent (3.0%), or the
annual percentage increase of the Consumer Price Index (CPI), whichever is the lesser of
the two, the assessment shall not be considered as an increase.
Each year the City shall compute the percentage difference between the CPI on January
1, of each year and the CPI for the previous January 1, or a similar time period, as
determined by the Bureau of Labor Statistics for all urban consumers for the Los
Angeles, Anaheim, and Riverside Area. This percentage difference shall then establish
the range of increased assessments allowed based on CPI. Should the Bureau of Labor
Statistics revise such index or discontinue the preparation of such index, the City shall
use the revised index or comparable system as approved by the City Council for
determining fluctuations in the cost of living.
If CPI is less than three percent (3.0%), then the allowable adjustment to the maximum
assessment for each Zone may be by CPI, or a lesser percentage. If CPI is greater than
three percent (3.0%), then the allowable adjustment to the proposed assessment for each
Zone may be three percent (3.0%), or a lesser percentage. The fact that an assessment
range formula is adopted for District assessments does not require that the adjustment
be applied each year, nor does it restrict the assessments to the adjustment amount. If
the budget and assessments for a given Zone does not require an increase or the increase
is less than the allowable adjustment then the required budget and assessment shall be
applied. If the budget and assessments for a given Zone require an increase greater than
the allowable adjustment then the proposed assessment is considered an increased
assessment and mailed notices, as well as property owner protest ballots are required by
Article XIIID to impose the assessment increase.
For fiscal year 2004/05, the Bureau of Labor Statistics has established CPI at 1.78% for the
January 2003 to January 2004 period. Therefore, the previous maximum assessment for each
Zone within the District has been adjusted by 1.78% to establish the current maximum
assessment allowed.

DIRECT COSTS:
Maintenance Costs — Includes contracted labor, material and equipment required to
properly maintain the landscaping, irrigation systems, drainage systems, fencing, and entry
monuments within the Zone.
Landscape Utilities— Includes utility costs for water required to irrigate landscaped areas
and the utility costs for electricity required to run irrigation systems and ornamental lighting
for landscaped areas.
Landscape Extras — Includes the replacement of any materials and equipment needed to
make repairs to irrigation systems.
Tree Pruning — Includes the cost of trimming and pruning trees located within the
landscaped area.
Street Lighting — Utility costs for electricity required to operate streetlights, as well as the
maintenance of the streetlights.
Special District Services — These are services provided to a specific Zone that are outside
the normal maintenance services provided by the District. These costs and services may
include, but are not limited to the following:
• Specialized maintenance and equipment necessary for landscaped areas and appurtenant
facilities associated with dry wells, retention basins and detention basins within the Zone.
• The additional cost of contracted labor, material and equipment required for trimming
trees in the public right of way and landscaped areas.
Maintenance Repairs — This item includes repairs that are generally unforeseen and not
normally included in the yearly maintenance contract costs. This may include repair of
damaged amenities due to vandalism, storms, frost, etc. Also included may be planned
upgrades that provide a direct benefit to the Zone. These upgrades could include replacing
plant materials and/or renovation of irrigation or lighting systems.
ADMINISTRATION COSTS:
MraiFPage 21
Consolidated Palm Desert Landscaping and Lighting
Maintenance Assessment District
Engineer's Report, Fiscal Year 2OO4/:';5
District Administration — The cost to particular departments and staff of the City, for
providing the coordination of District services and operations, response to public concerns
and education, as well as procedures associated with the levy and collection of assessments.
This item also includes the costs of contracting with professionals to provide administrative,
legal or engineering services specific to the District including required notices, mailings or
property owner protest ballot proceedings.
County Administration Fee — This is the cost to the Zone for the County to collect
District assessments on the property tax bills.
County Per Parcel Fee — This is the cost to each Zone for the County- to collect
assessments on the property tax bills. This charge is on a per assessment basis and is
currently estimated at $0.16 per assessment. This cost is in addition to the County
Administration Fee.
Note: - The adnanistratiw costs cf the District are borne by aid, Zone in proportion to the aoegate casts
cf the entire District Casts related to dirt adninistration are identified as exempt; moral and special
lxnefzts in the sang proportion as the benefit finding for the Direct Serum costs. A II casts related to the lety cf
assessnvnts such as county fe s and contract adnanistration are applied to each Zone Mgardless clan), benefit
findings (no general benefit).
LEVY BREAKDOWN:
Reserve Collection/(Transfer)— The Reserve Account item is provided for collection by
the District of funds to operate the Zone from the time period of July 1 (beginning of the
Fiscal year) through approximately January when the County provides the City with the first
installment of assessments collected from the property tax bills. Negative amounts shown
for these budget items are transfers from the reserve fund that are used to reduce the
Balance to Levy. The Reserve Fund eliminates the need for the City to transfer funds from
non -District accounts.
Other Rezenues /General Fund Contribution — This item includes additional funds
designated for the Zone that are not from District assessments. These funds are added to the
Zone account to reduce assessments, and may be from either non -District or District
sources including City General Fund Contributions and interest earnings.
Balance to Levy — This is the total amount to be collected for the current fiscal year
through assessments (for special benefits) or from other revenue sources (for general
benefits). The Balance to Levy represents the sum of Total Direct and Administration Costs,
the Reserve Account/Other Revenue Source, the Beginning Balance, and the Contribution
Replenishment. Only those costs related to the improvements identified as special benefits
are levied and collected on the tax roll.
DISTRICT STATISTICS:
Total Parcels — The total number of parcels within the Zone boundary.
M uniFiraraal Page 22
Consolidated Palm Desert Landscaping and Lightsg
Maintenance Assessment District
Engineer's Report, Fiscal Year 20C.4105
Total Parcels Levied — The total number of parcels within the Zone that are assessed.
Non -assessable lots or parcels may include parcels of land principally encumbered by public
right-of-ways, easements, common areas, and/or parcels within the boundaries of the Zone
that currently do not benefit from the improvements due possibly to development
restrictions.
Total Equizulent Benefit Unit (EBU) — Equivalent Benefit Unit (EBU) is a numeric
value calculated for each parcel based on the parcel's land use and size. The EBU shown in
the Zone budget, (Section III B), represents the sum total of all parcel EBUs that receive
special benefits from the improvements.
Levy per EBU — This amount represents the rate being applied to each parcel's individual
EBU. The Levy per Equivalent Benefit Unit is the result of dividing the total Balance to
Levy, by the sum of the Zone EBUs, for the fiscal year.

Appendix B — 2004/05 Collection Roll
Parcel identification, for each lot or parcel within the District, shall be the parcel as shown on the
Riverside County Assessor's map for the year in which this Report is prepared.
Non -assessable lots or parcels may include areas of public streets and other roadways (typically not
assigned an APN by the County); dedicated public easements, open space areas and rights -of -ways
including public greenbelts and parkways; utility rights -of -ways; common areas; landlocked parcels,
small parcels vacated by the County, bifurcated lots, and any other proper- that can not be
developed. These types of parcels are considered to receive little or no benefit from the
improvements and are therefore exempted from assessment. Properties outside the District boundary
receive no direct or special benefits from the improvements provided by the District and are not
assessed.
Parcel identification, for each lot or parcel within the District, shall be the parcel as shown on the
Riverside County Assessor's map for the year in which this Report is prepared. The land use
classification for each parcel is based on the Riverside County Assessor's Roll. A listing of parcels
assessed within this District, along with the proposed assessment amounts, shall be submitted to the
City Clerk, under a separate cover, and by reference is made part of this Report.
Approval of this Report (as submitted or as modified) confirms the method of apportionment and
the maximum assessment rate to be levied against each eligible parcel and thereby constitutes the
approved levy and collection of assessments for the fiscal year. The parcels and the amount of
assessment to be levied shall be submitted to the County Auditor/Controller and included on the
property tax roll for the fiscal year.
If any parcel submitted for collection is identified by the County Auditor/Controller to be an invalid
parcel number for the current fiscal year, a corrected parcel number and/or new parcel numbers will
be identified and resubmitted to the County Auditor/Controller. The assessment amount to be levied
and collected for the resubmitted parcel or parcels shall be based on the method of apportionment
and assessment rate approved in this Report. Therefore, if a single parcel has changed to multiple
parcels, the assessment amount applied to each of the new parcels shall be recalculated and applied
according to the approved method of apportionment and assessment rate rather than a proportionate
share of the original assessment.
