Fiscal Year 2004/05
I. OVERVIEW
A. Introduction
The City of Palm Desert (hereafter referred to as the "City") formed and established the
President's Plaza III Property and Business Improvement District (hereafter referred to as
the "District") beginning in Fiscal Year 2001/02 to provide the annual operation and
maintenance of certain improvements that confer special benefits upon real property within
the boundaries of the District. The District was established and is levied pursuant to Prtperty
and Business Inlbrozenent District Law gt 1994, Part 7 (fDizision 18 f the Califonnia Streets and
Highua s Cafe (hereafter referred to as the "Code"). Pursuant to the Code, property owners
within the District submitted a signed petition requesting formation of the District. The
District was successfully formed and a maximum assessment was approved by the property
owners through an assessment ballot proceeding, conducted according to provisions of the
California Constitution Arttcde XIIID (hereafter referred to as the "Article XIIID"), which was
made part of the California Constitution with the passage of Proposition 218 in November
1996. Pursuant to the Code, the Council proposes to annually levy and collect assessments
to provide funding for improvements and activities authorized within the District for a
period of five years (Fiscal Years 2001/02 through 2005/2006).
This Management District Plan (hereafter referred to as the "Plan") describes the District,
improvements and activities, method of apportionment, boundaries of the District, the
budgets, and the maximum assessment approved for the five-year duration of the District.
The assessments are based on the estimated cost to provide the improvements, activities,
and operation that provide a direct and special benefit to properties within the District. The
costs of improvements, activities, and operation 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 Assessment
Number by the County of Riverside Assessor's Office. The County of Riverside
Auditor/Controller uses Assessment Numbers and specific Fund Numbers to identify, on
the tax roll, parcels and properties assessed for special district benefit assessments.
B. Formation
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 City Council. The City
Council initiated proceedings for the formation of the District by adopting a resolution
expressing its intention to form the District. The resolution of intention contained the
original Management District Plan and the time and place of a public hearing on the
establishment of the District and levy of assessments.
Within 90 days of adopting the resolution of intention, the City Council held a public
meeting and public hearing on the matter, and caused notice to the property owners
pursuant to Section 54954.6 of the Government Code. Assessment ballots (property owner

Fiscal Year 2004/05
protest ballots) were mailed to each property owner at least 45 days prior to the public
hearing pursuant to Article XIIID. Pursuant to the Code, the City Council also published the
resolution of intention in a newspaper of general circulation; mailed the resolution of
intention by first-class mail to each property owner in the District and to each local chamber
of commerce and business organization located within the District.
At the public hearing the City Council provided the public and property owners an
opportunity to provide oral protests and written protests prior to the adoption of the
Management District Plan. Pursuant to the Article XIIID, the City Council tabulated
property owner assessment ballots received from property owners to determine whether
majority protest existed. It was determined and declared by resolution that majority protest
did not exist and the property owners confirmed and approved the assessments.
Pursuant to the Code, the City Council appointed an Advisory Board for the District. This
Advisory Board shall make recommendations to the City Council on the expenditures of
revenue derived from the levy of assessments and on the classification of properties as
applicable. At least one member of the Advisory Board shall be a business licensee within
the District who is not a property owner within the District. This Advisory Board 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 aerk 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.
The City Council ordered the formation of the District and the levy and collection of
assessments outlined in the Management District Plan and the first levy of assessments was
submitted to the County Auditor/Controller in Fiscal Year 2001/02 for inclusion on the
property tax roll.

II. DESCRIPTION OF THE DISTRICT
A. Description of the 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 - lease parcel to the City of Palm
Desert located South of Highway 111; East of New Highway 74; and West of Old Highway
74.
B. Description of the 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 provides 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 to provide and ensure the continued operation and
maintenance of the improvements after the renovations have been completed.
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, operation, administration, and maintenance required
to keep the improvements in satisfactory condition including 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 lighting facilities — including but not limited to: bulbs, fixtures, poles, wiring,
and electrical energy,
• Parking lot landscaped areas — including but not limited to: ground cover, shrubs, trees,
plants, irrigation and drainage systems and associated appurtenant facilities,
• Debris removal — including but not limited to: regular mechanical sweeping of the

this Report. The total funds collected shall be dispersed and used for only the services and
operations provided to the District.

C. Special Benefits of the Improvements and Activities
All 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,
The special 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;
6. Centralized locations for refuse collection facilities; and,
Parking lot sweeping is an essential and necessary activity for all properties— particularly
commercial properties. The special 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. Improved.traffic circulation
The on -going operation and maintenance of the landscaping, lighting improvements and
sweeping service 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.

III. METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT
A. Method of Apportionment Rationale
The costs of the District improvements and services 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
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.
B. 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 assessment, each parcel is assessed for Indirect Costs, such as
Administration, Insurance and a Parking Lot Fund for future sealing and re -stripping of the
parking lot. 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 the maintenance and servicing of the parking lot is
based on the estimated annual costs to maintain the landscaping, lighting, and mechanical
sweeping of the parking lot within President's Plaza III. This Total Direct Cost, divided by
the sum of the square footage of all parcels within the District, establishes 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
penn)). The following formulas, costs and rates are proposed for the direct cost calculation
of assessments for the Fiscal Year 2004/05. Please refer to the District Budget (Table 1) for
future assessment rates.

Fourth Fiscal Year $12,676 $0.027
(Fiscal Year 2004/2005)
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 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 to be slightly over forty
percent (40%) 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 following
formulas, costs and rates are proposed for the indirect cost calculation of assessments for the
Fiscal Year 2004/05. Please refer to the District Budget (Table 1) for future assessment
rates.

Total Annual Assessment
Each parcel's Total Annual Assessment is the sum of their proportionate share of the Direct
Costs and Indirect Costs. The preceding description of the method of apportionment
outlines the estimated cost and rates applied for the District in Fiscal Year 2004/05, using
the formulas adopted and approved when the District was formed in Fiscal Year 2001/02.
The following provides a summary of the proposed assessment rates for Fiscal Year
2004/05. Please refer to the District Budget (Table 1) for future assessment rates.
Direct Cost Rate + Indirect Cost Rate = Total Rate per Square Foot

Rate (sq ft)
Direct Cost Rate $ 0.027
Indirect Cost Rate 0.024
Total Assessment Rate $ 0.051
Annual Budget Adjustments
For the initial five years of the PBID, annual assessments may be adjusted by the President's
Plaza III PBID Advisory Board 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 Advisory Board. In
any event, assessments will not exceed the levels illustrated by the District Budget (Table 1).
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.

IV. DISTRICT BUDGET
A. Description of Budget Items
Direct Benefit Costs
Landscape Maintenance Contract— Includes all regularly scheduled labor, material (e.g.
pipe, fertilizer, insecticides), and equipment required to properly maintain and ensure the
satisfactory condition of all landscaping, irrigation and drainage systems, and appurtenant
facilities. All landscaping improvements within the District are contracted for maintenance
and service on a regular basis. City staff will determine the frequency, specific maintenance
and operations required within the District.
Landscape Water— Utility cost to furnish water for required landscape irrigation.
Lighting and Landscape Electric— Utility cost for furnishing of electricity required for
the operation of the irrigation systems and landscape maintenance and cost of furnishing the
electricity required for the operation and maintenance of the lighting facilities. The City
contracts for the furnishing of its electricity for street lighting, which includes normal
maintenance and bulb replacement. This cost does not include repairs or replacement of
damaged facilities due to vandalism, accidents or storms.
Landscape Repairs— This item includes repairs that are not normally included in the yearly
maintenance contract costs. This may include repair of damaged amenities due to vandalism
and storms. Also included may be planned upgrades. These upgrades could include replacing
plant materials or renovation of irrigation systems.
Sweeping Services —Weekly cleaning of the parking lot and gutters using a contracted,
mechanized service.
Indirect Benefit Costs (Administration/Reserves)
District Administration— The cost to all departments and staff of the City, for providing
the coordination of District services, operations and maintenance of the District, response to
public concerns and education, and procedures associated with the levy and collection of
assessments. This cost also includes contracting with professionals to provide additional
administrative, legal, or engineering services specific to the District.
County Administration Fee— This is the actual cost to the District for the County to
collect District assessments on the property tax bills. This charge is based on a flat rate per
fund number.

assessments on the property tax bills. This charge is on a per assessment basis, at $0.25 per
assessment, and is in addition to the County Administration Fee.
President's Plaza III Property and Business Improvement District
Management District Plan, City of Palm Desert
Fiscal Year 2004/05
Operating Reserze Fund Collection —The Operating Reserve Fund provides for
collection of funds to operate the District, for each fiscal year, from the time period of July 1
through January when the County provides the City with the first 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 FY 2003/04 through FY 2005/06. Because the District began operation in FY
2001/02, with no assessments collected in the prior fiscal year (FY 2000/01), the first six
months of District operations (in FY 2001/02) was funded through non -District accounts.
Once the District received the first installment of assessments from the County of Riverside
in January 2002, the non -District account(s) were reimbursed.
Parking Lot Fund— The Parking Lot Maintenance Fund provides funds for the sealing and
re -striping of the parking lot after the fourth year of the term of the District. The cost of
sealing and re -striping totals $29,771.40 (15 cents per square foot multiplied by 198,476
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 costs.
District Statistics
Total Parcels — The total number of parcels within the District.
Total Parcels to Levy —The total number of parcels within the District that will be
assessed. Non -assessed lots or parcels include easements, common areas, and parcels within
the boundaries of the District that currently do not benefit from the improvements.
Total Parcel Square Footage— This is the sum total of the parcel square footage applied to
each parcel within the District.
Levy Rate per Square Foot— This amount represents the Rate being applied to each
parcel's individual lot square footage. The Levy Rate per Square Foot is the result of dividing
the estimated Total District Costs for that year by the sum of the District's Total Parcel
Square Footage. The rate is calculated to three decimal places.

B. District Budget
The District Budget shown on the following table (Table 1) lists the estimated costs of
providing the various improvements and services within the District. The costs and the
resulting rates for Fiscal Year 2001/02 through Fiscal Year 2005/06 are based on the
estimated costs to provide the improvements and services for each year, adjusted for the
three percent (3%) inflation factor.
The Advisory Board, 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 the original Management District Plan,
without first obtaining property owner approval through assessment ballots.
