Staff Report Alessandro Alley Business Improvement District Page 2 of 3 February 23, 2006 Executive Summary: The City Redevelopment Agency is currently working on the design of improvements for the Alessandro Alley. The improvements include the addition of parking spaces, landscaping, lighting, and block walls along the rear of properties located on the north side of Highway 111, between Las Palmas and 300 feet east of Monterey Avenue. Once the improvements are constructed, the property owners have indicated their willingness to pay for the maintenance of the improvements through a Property and Business Improvement District. The attached resolutions accomplish the following: • Approves the District's Engineer's Report, Annual Assessments for each property and the District's five-year Budget; • Calls for a property owner ballot proceeding; and • Set a public hearing for April 13, 2006, to declare the ballot results. Background: In September of 2005, the Redevelopment Agency Board authorized staff to proceed with the design of the Alessandro Alley improvements and with the formation a Property and Business Improvement District to fund future maintenance costs for this area. The proposed Alessandro Alley improvements includes the addition of 169 parking spaces, water efficient landscaping, street lighting and block walls along rear of the commercial properties located on the north side of Highway 111, from Las Palmas Avenue to approximately 300 feet east of Monterey Avenue (see site plan). Discussion: In December of 2005, Staff circulated a petition and the Preliminary Management District Plan to all twenty-two property owners located within the proposed Alessandro Alley District. The District's Management Plan and attached Engineer's Report outlines the location of the district, the proposed improvements (RDA funded), the five-year budget, and the proposed annual assessment for each property. As required by the Property and Business Improvement District regulations, a majority of the property owners returned the petition in favor of proceeding with the formation of the district. The next step in the formation process requires that the City Council adopt a series of resolutions to do the following: 1. Officially initiate the formation the Alessandro Alley Property and Business Improvement District. 2. Approve the Business Management Plan and Engineer's Report for the five-year term (FY 2006/07- FY 2010/2011).

B-1 MuniFinancial Ciry of Palm Desert Alessandro Alley Property and Business Improvement District Preliminary Management District Plan Fiscal Year 2006/07 OVERVIEW INTRODUCTI�N The City of Palm Desert ("City") proposes to establish the Alessandro Alley Property and Business Improvement District (the "District"). The purpose of the District is to provide funding for the annual operation and maintenance of certain improvements that confer special benefits upon real property within the boundaries of the District. The District is proposed to have a maximum term of five years beginning in Fiscal Year 2006/07 and ending in Fiscal Year 2010/11. Once the term of the District has expired, the property owners within the District have the ability to renew the District up to another ten-year term as provided by current California law. The City of Palm Desert Redevelopment Agency ("Agency") currently is in the process of installing and constructing various improvements to the parking areas included within the boundaries of the proposed District. The installation and construction of the improvements will be fully funded by the Agency. The annual operation and maintenance of these improvements are proposed to be funded through District assessments. The assessments are proposed to be levied on the District parcels that benefit from the annual operation and maintenance of these improvements. The District is proposed to be established and levied pursuant to the 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, a majority of property owners, weighted by assessment dollars within the District must submit a signed petition requesting formation of the District. The District can be formed, and a maximum assessment approved, by the property owners through an assessment ballot proceeding, conducted according to provisions of the California Constitution Article XIIID ("Proposition 218"). Pursuant to the Act, the Council may propose 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 2006/07 through 2010/2011). This Management District Plan ("Plan") describes the proposed District, improvements and activities, method of apportionment, special benefit analysis, boundaries of the District, the proposed budgets, and the maximum assessment to be approved for the five-year duration of the District. The proposed 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. MuniFinancial Page 1 City of Palm Desert Alessandro Alley Property and Business Improvement District Preliminary Management District Plan Fiscal Year 2006/07 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 to identify, on the tax roll, parcels and properties assessed for special district benefit assessments. DISTRICT FORMATIDN PROCESS A written petition of the property owners within the District, representing more than 50 percent of the proposed District assessment to be levied, is required in order to initiate formation proceedings. The City Council may initiate proceedings for the formation of the District by adopting a resolution expressing its intention to form the District. The resolution of intention contains the original Management District Plan and the time and place of a public hearing on the establishment of the District and levy of assessments. Not less than forty-five (45) days and not more than ninety (90) days of adopting the resolution of intention, the City Council may hold a public hearing on the matter of formation, and cause notice to the property owners pursuant to Section 54954.6 of the Government Code. Public notices and assessment ballots (property owner protest ballots� may be 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 will provide the public and property owners an opportunity to provide oral protests and written protests prior to the adoption of the Management District Plan and the final Engineer's Report. Pursuant to the California Constitution Article XIIID, the City Clerk or its designated alternate will tabulate property owner assessment ballots received from property owners to determine whether majority protest exists. If it is determined and declared by resolution that majority protest does not exist and the property owners confirm and approve the assessments, the District may be formed. Pursuant to the Act, the City Council shall appoint an Owner's Association ("Association") for the District. This Association 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 Association shall be a business licensee within the District who is not a property owner within the District. 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: MuniFinancial Page 2 City of Palm Desert Alessandro Alley Property and Business Improvement District Preliminary Management District Plan Fiscal Year 2006/07 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. MasniFinancial Page 3 City of Palm Desert Alessandro Alley Property and Business Improvement District Preliminary Management District Plan Fiscal Year 2006/07 DESCRIPTION OF THE D15TRICT DESCRIPTION OF THE DISTRICT B�UNDARY The District consists of all parcels located in the commercial business area known as the Alessandro Alley within the City of Palm Desert, County of Riverside. The District includes twenty-two (22) assessable commercial parcels. The boundaries of the District are in the southwest area of the City and the parcels therein are generally located North of Highway 111 and Palm Desert Drive North; generally South of San Gorgonio Way; adjacent to and South of Alessandro Alley; adjacent to and West of Las Palmas Avenue; and generally East of Monterey Avenue. DESCRIPTION OF THE IMPR�VEMENTS AND ACTIVITIES In an effort to enhance and improve business opportunities and the appearance of the area known as the Alessandro Alley, the Agency currently is providing funds for the renovation and capital improvement of the parking areas and landscaped areas related to this commercial business center. In conjunction with this renovation, Alessandro Alley Property and Business Improvement District is proposed to be formed to provide and ensure the continued operation and maintenance of the improvements after the renovations have been completed. 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 all necessary activities, services, operation, 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 area landscaped areas: including but not limited to ground cover, shrubs, trees, plants, irrigation and drainage systems and associated appurtenant facilities. MuniFinancial Page 4 City of Palm Desert Alessandro Alley Property and Business Improvement District Preliminary Management District Plan Fiscal Year 2006/07 • Parking area lighting facilities: including but not limited to bulbs, fixtures, poles, wiring, and electrical energy. • Debris removal: including but not limited to regular mechanical sweeping of the parking areas. The costs associated with the improvements are equitably spread among all benefiting parcels within the District utilizing the method of apportionment described in the Section, "Method of Apportionment", of this Plan. The total funds collected shall be dispersed and used for only the services and operations provided to the District. SPECIAL BENEFITS OF THE 1MPROVENIENTS 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 areas, and regular sweeping of the parking areas. The special benefits of lighting (parking area 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; 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. The benefits associated with the improvements within the parking areas are specifically: 8. Improved aesthetic appeal of the parking area and nearby parcels; 9. Improved dust control; MuniFinancial Page 5 City of Palm Desert Alessandro Alley Property and Business Improvement District Preliminary Management District Plan Fiscal Year 2006/07 10. Enhanced adaptation of the urban environment within the natural environment; 11. Improved traffic circulation; 12. A positive representation of the businesses within the District; 13. Centralized locations for refuse collection facilities. Parking area 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 is: 1. Enhanced aesthetic appeal of the parking area and the properties that are associated with the parking area; 2. Improved dust control. 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. MuniFinancial Page 6 City of Palm Desert Alessandro Alley Property and Business Improvement District Preliminary Management District Plan Fiscal Year 2006/07 M ETHOD 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 AREAS IMPROVEMENTS AND SERVICES All assessed parcels within the Alessandro Alley PBID have use of, and access to, parking facilities (parking spaces) that provides access, parking, and delivery areas for the businesses and parcels within the District. The parking spaces are located alongside the assessed parcels within the PBID and are adjacent to Alessandro Alley. Although the parking spaces are not in a centralized facility, they can be used and accessed by all properties within the District. However, it can be reasonably expected that parking facilities closest to each assessed parcel will be used for access to each such parcel. In determining the method of apportionment for these improvements, each parcel's benefit is based on access to the parking areas adjacent to, and associated with, each parcel. Therefore, it has been determined that a fair and reasonable reflection of each parcel's benefit for the parking areas improvements shall be based on the approximate front footage adjacent to the parking areas. The parcels within the District front Alessandro Alley and the parking areas are on only one side (north side of the property). To ensure a reasonable and equitable apportionment of special benefit, parcels are only assessed for their front footage along the north side of their property adjacent to the parking areas. METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT CALCULATIDNS The Total Direct Costs of the parking areas improvements and services are apportioned to each parcel within the District based on each parcel's front footage adjacent to the parking areas in linear feet. In addition to a parcel's Total Direct Cost, each parcel is assessed for District administration expenses, a reserve fund collection, and a parking areas maintenance fund. 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. MuniFinancial Page 7 City of Palm Desert Alessandro Alley Property and Business Improvement District Preliminary Management District Plan Fiscal Year 2006/07 ♦ � � ■ - ■ ■ � � ■ The Total Direct Costs estimated for parking areas improvements and services (maintenance) is based on the estimated annual costs to maintain the landscaping, lighting, and mechanical sweeping of the parking areas within Alessandro Alley. This Total Direct Cost, divided by the sum of the linear front footage of all parcels within the District, establishes a rate per parcel linear foot. This rate multiplied by each parcel's front footage equals the parcel's proportionate share of the parking areas maintenance costs (rounded to the nearest even penny). For the initial year of the PBID, FY 2006-07, the actual annual assessment may be lower than the Maximum allowable annual assessment as illustrated by the District Budget (Table 4). This adjustment would be based on the parking areas improvements construction schedule. The plans proposed for construction of improvements are for a beginning date in Fa112006 and completion by early 2007. If the District's activities become effective during only a portion of the District's first fiscal year, only one-half of the District's Direct Costs would be collected for the FY 2006-07 assessment.

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 fourteen percent (14%) 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 front footage.

Actual annual adjustments may range from zero percent (0°l0� to three percent (3%�. Adjustments may differ from year to year depending on the service needs identified by the 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 MuniFinancial Page 10 City of Palm Desert Alessandro Alley Property and Business Improvement District Preliminary Management District Plan Fiscal Year 2006/07 DESCRIPTION OF BUDCET 1TEMS DIRECT BENEFIT COST,S • Landscape Maintenance: 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. The frequency and specific maintenance and operations required within the District will be determined by City staff. The landscape maintenance area is approximately 10,000 square feet. • Landscape Pruning: Includes all regularly scheduled labor, material, and equipment required to properly maintain and ensure the satisfactory condition of all trees including palm trees, and appurtenant facilities. All landscaping improvements within the District are contracted for maintenance and service on a regular basis. The frequency and specific maintenance and operations required within the District will be determined by City staff. There will be approximately 45 trees to be maintained. • Landscape Water: Utility cost to furnish water for required landscape irrigation. The landscape maintenance area is approximately 10,000 square feet. • Lighting: The furnishing of 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. There will be approximately 30 street lights to be serviced. • Sweeping Services: Weekly cleaning of the parking areas and gutters using a contracted, mechanized service. • Landscape Repairs/Lighting: 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, as well as planned upgrades which could include replacing plant and lighting materials or renovation of irrigation and lighting systems. MuniFinancial Page 11 City of Palm Desert Alessandro Alley Property and Business Improvement District Preliminary Management District Plan Fiscal Year 2006/07 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. Operating Reserve Fund.• 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 2007/08 through FY 2010/11. Because the District is proposed to operate beginning in FY 2006/07, with no assessments collected in the prior fiscal year (FY 2005/06�, the first six months of District operations (in FY 2006/07) will be funded through non-District accounts. Once the District receives the first installment of assessments from the County of Riverside in January 2007, the non-District account(s) will be reimbursed. The plans proposed are for construction of improvements to begin in Fall 2006 and be completed by early 2007. If the District's activities become effective in early 2007, there will be District funds available to cover their costs. The Operating Reserve Fund may also be used to off-set 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 fourteen percent (14%) of the annual Total Direct Costs of the District in FY 2006/07 through FY 2010/ 11. • Parking Areas Maintenance Fund: The Parking Areas Maintenance Fund provides funds for the sealing and re-striping of the parking areas after the fourth year of the term of the District. These funds are proposed to be held in reserve until such time as the sealing and re-striping are required and there are sufficient funds to pay for their costs. MuniFinancial Page 12 City of Palm Desert Alessandro Alley Property and Business Improvement District Preliminary Management District Plan Fiscal Year 2006/07 • 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. There are currently no exempt parcels within the District; however, non-assessed lots or parcels may include easements, common areas, and parcels within the boundaries of the District that do not benefit from the improvements. • Total Front Footage (Parking Areas�: This is the sum total of the parcel front footage applied to each parcel within the District. � Levy Rate per Direct Costs: This amount represents the Rate being applied to each parcel's individual front footage for Direct Costs. The Levy Rate per Direct Costs is the result of dividing the estimated Total Direct Costs for that year by the sum of the District's Total Parcel Footage Footage. The rate is calculated to three decimal places. • Levy Rate per Indirect Costs: This amount represents the Rate being applied to each parcel for Administrative Costs, the Operating Reserve Fund and the Parking Areas Maintenance Fund. 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 Parcel Footage. The rate is calculated to three decimal places. Total Levy Rate for District Costs: This is the sum total of the Levy Rate per Direct Costs and the Levy Rate per Indirect Costs. The rate is calculated to three decimal places. � - � ■ 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 2006/07 through Fiscal Year 2010/11 MuniFinancial Page 13 City of Palm Desert Alessandro Alley Property and Business Improvement District Preliminary Management District Plan Fiscal Year 2006/07 are based on the estimated costs to provide the improvements and services for each year, adjusted for the three percent (3%) inflation factor. The 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 the Plan without first obtaining property owner approval through assessment ballots.

B-1 MuniFinancial Page ii City of Palm Desert Alessandro Alley Property and Business Improvement District Preliminary Engineer's Report Fiscal Year 2006/07 ❑VERVIEW INTRODUCTI�N The City of Palm Desert ("City") proposes to establish the Alessandro Alley Property and Business Improvement District (the "District"). The purpose of the District is to provide funding for the annual operation and maintenance of certain improvements that confer special benefits upon real property within the boundaries of the District. The District is proposed to have a maximum term of five years beginning in Fiscal Year 2006/07 and ending in Fiscal Year 2010/11. Once the term of the District has expired, the property owners within the District have the ability to renew the District up to another ten-year term as provided by current California law. The City of Palm Desert Redevelopment Agency ("Agency"� currently is in the process of installing and constructing various improvements to the parking areas included within the boundaries of the proposed District. The installation and construction of the improvements will be fully funded by the Agency. The annual operation and maintenance of these improvements are proposed to be funded through District assessments. The assessments are proposed to be levied on the District parcels that benefit from the annual operation and maintenance of these improvements. The District is proposed to be established and levied pursuant to the 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, a majority of property owners, weighted by assessment dollars within the District must submit a signed petition requesting formation of the District. The District can be formed, and a maximum assessment approved, by the property owners through an assessment ballot proceeding, conducted according to provisions of the California Constitution Article XIIID ("Proposition 218"). Pursuant to the Act, the Council may propose 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 2006/07 through 2010/2011). This Engineer's Report ("Report") describes the proposed District, improvements and activities, method of apportionment, special benefit analysis, boundaries of the District, the proposed budgets, and the maximum assessment to be approved for the five-year duration of the District. The proposed 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 MuniFinancial Page 1 City of Palm Desert Alessandro Alley Property and Business Improvement District Preliminary Engineer's Report Fiscal Year 2006/07 improvements, activities, and operation include all expenditures, deficits, surpluses, revenues, and reserves. The word "property," for the purposes of this Report, 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 to identify, on the tax roll, parcels and properties assessed for special district benefit assessments. DISTRICT FORMATI�N PROGESS A written petition of the property owners within the District, representing more than 50 percent of the proposed District assessment to be levied, is required in order to initiate formation proceedings. The City Council may initiate proceedings for the formation of the District by adopting a resolution expressing its intention to form the District. The resolution of intention contains the original Management District Plan and the time and place of a public hearing on the establishment of the District and levy of assessments. Not less than forty-five (45) days and not more than ninety (90� days of adopting the resolution of intention, the City Council may hold a public hearing on the matter of formation, and cause notice to the property owners pursuant to Section 54954.6 of the Government Code. Public notices and assessment ballots (property owner protest ballots) may be 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 will provide the public and property owners an opportunity to provide oral protests and written protests prior to the adoption of the Management District Plan and the final Engineer's Report. Pursuant to the California Constitution Article XIIID, the City Clerk or its designated alternate will tabulate property owner assessment ballots received from property owners to determine whether majority protest exists. If it is determined and declared by resolution that majority protest does not exist and the property owners confirm and approve the assessments, the District may be formed. Pursuant to the Act, the City Council shall appoint an Owner's Association ("Association") for the District. This Association 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. 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 MuniFinancial Page 2 City of Palm Desert Alessandro Alley Property and Business Improvement District Preliminary Engineer's Report Fiscal Year 2006/07 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. MuniFinancial Page 3 City of Palm Desert Alessandro Alley Property and Business Improvement District Preliminary Engineer's Report Fiscal Year 2006/07 DESCRIPTION OF THE DISTRICT DESCRIPTI�N OF THE DISTRICT BOUNDARY The District consists of all parcels located in the commercial business area known as the Alessandro Alley within the City of Palm Desert, County of Riverside. The District includes twenty-two (22) assessable commercial parcels. The boundaries of the District are in the southwest area of the City and the parcels therein are generally located North of Highway 111 and Palm Desert Drive North; generally South of San Gorgonio Way; adjacent to and South of Alessandro Alley; adjacent to and West of Las Palmas Avenue; and generally East of Monterey Avenue. DESCRIPTI�N OF THE IMPROVEMENTS AND ACTIVITIES In an effort to enhance and improve business opportunities and the appearance of the area known as the Alessandro Alley, the Agency currently is providing funds for the renovation and capital improvement of the parking areas and landscaped areas related to this commercial business center. In conjunction with this renovation, Alessandro Alley Property and Business Improvement District is proposed to be formed to provide and ensure the continued operation and maintenance of the improvements after the renovations have been completed. 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 all necessary activities, services, operation, 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 area landscaped areas: including but not limited to ground cover, shrubs, trees, plants, irrigation and drainage systems and associated appurtenant facilities. MuniFinancial Page 4 City of Palm Desert Alessandro Alley Property and Business Improvement District Preliminary Engineer's Report Fiscal Year 2006/07 • Parking area lighting facilities: including but not limited to bulbs, fixtures, poles, wiring, and electrical energy. • Debris removal: including but not limited to regular mechanical sweeping of the parking areas. The costs associated with the improvements are equitably spread among all benefiting parcels within the District utilizing the method of apportionment described in the Section, "Method of Apportionment", of this Report. The total funds collected shall be dispersed and used for only the services and operations provided to the District. SPECIAL BENEFITS OF THE IMPROVEMENTS AND ACTIVITI ES 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 areas, and regular sweeping of the parking areas. The special benefits of lighting (parking area 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. The benefits associated with the improvements within the parking areas are specifically: 8. Improved aesthetic appeal of the parking area and nearby parcels; Improved dust control; MuniFinancial Page 5 City of Palm Desert Alessandro Alley Property and Business Improvement District Preliminary Engineer's Report Fiscal Year 2006/07 10. Enhanced adaptation of the urban environment within the natural environment; 11. Improved traffic circulation; 12. A positive representation of the businesses within the District; 13. Centralized locations for refuse collection facilities. Parking area 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 is: Enhanced aesthetic appeal of the parking area and the properties that are associated with the parking area; 2. Improved dust control. 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. MuniFinancial Page 6 City of Palm Desert Alessandro Alley Property and B:rsiness Improvement District Preliminary Engineer's Report Fiscal Year 2006/07 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. PARKlNG AREAS IMPROVEMENTS AND SERVIGES All assessed parcels within the Alessandro Alley PBID have use of, and access to, parking facilities (parking spaces) that provides access, parking, and delivery areas for the businesses and parcels within the District. The parking spaces are located alongside the assessed parcels within the PBID and are adjacent to Alessandro Alley. Although the parking spaces are not in a centralized facility, they can be used and accessed by all properties within the District. However, it can be reasonably expected that parking facilities closest to each assessed parcel will be used for access to each such parcel. In determining the method of apportionment for these improvements, each parcel's benefit is based on access to the parking areas adjacent to, and associated with, each parcel. Therefore, it has been determined that a fair and reasonable reflection of each parcel's benefit for the parking areas improvemerits shall be based on the approximate front footage adjacent to the parking areas. The parcels within the District front Alessandro Alley and the parking areas are on only one side (north side of the property). To ensure a reasonable and equitable apportionment of special benefit, parcels are only assessed for their front footage along the north side of their property adjacent to the parking areas. METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT CALCULATIONS The Total Direct Costs of the parking areas improvements and services are apportioned to each parcel within the District based on each parcel's front footage adjacent to the parking areas in linear feet. In addition to a parcel's Total Direct Cost, each parcel is assessed for District administration expenses, a reserve fund collection, and a parking areas maintenance fund. 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. MuniFinancial Page 7 City of Palm Desert Alessandro Alley Property and Business Improvement District Preliminary Engineer's Report Fiscal Year 2006/07 APPORTIONMENT OF DIRECT COSTS The Total Direct Costs estimated for parking areas improvements and services (maintenance) is based on the estimated annual costs to maintain the landscaping, lighting, and mechanical sweeping of the parking areas within Alessandro Alley. This Total Direct Cost, divided by the sum of the linear front footage of all parcels within the District, establishes a rate per parcel linear foot. This rate multiplied by each parcel's front footage equals the parcel's proportionate share of the parking areas maintenance costs (rounded to the nearest even penny). For the initial year of the PBID, FY 2006-07, the actual annual assessment may be lower than the Maximum allowable annual assessment as illustrated by the District Budget (Table 4). This adjustment would be based on the parking areas improvements construction schedule. The plans proposed for construction of improvements are for a beginning date in Fa112006 and completion by early 2007. If the District's activities become effective during only a portion of the District's first fiscal year, only one-half of the District's Direct Costs would be collected for the FY 2006-07 assessment. The rates provided below are the maximum allowable and actual proposed assessment rates for Fiscal Year 2006/07 only. Please refer to the District Budget (Table 4) for future assessment rates. O/RECT COST RATE CALCULAT/ON Total Direct Cost / Total Front Footage = Rate per Linear Foot Rate x Parcel Front Footage = Direct Cost Assessment Component Table 1 lists the proposed FY 2006/07 direct costs and costs per linear foot.

These include all expenses related to the administration of the District as well as the collection of money towards a Parking Areas Maintenance Fund. and an Operating Reserves Fund. For Fiscal Year 2006/07, the Reserve Fund Collections are proposed to be slightly under thirty-eight percent (37.69%) of the annual Total District Costs. For Fiscal Years 2007/08 through 2010/11, the Reserve Fund Collections are proposed to be under twenty-seven percent (26.50%� of the annual Total District Costs. 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 front footage. The rate provided below is the maximum allowable rate for Fiscal Year 2006/07 only. Please refer to the District Budget (Table 4) for future assessment rates. /NO/RECT COST RATE CALCULAT/ON Total Indirect Cost / Total Front Footage = Rate per Linear Foot Rate x Parcel Front Footage = Indirect Cost Assessment Component Table 2 lists the proposed FY 2006/07 indirect costs and costs per linear foot.

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 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 MuniFinancial Page 10 City of Palm Desert Alessandro Alley Property and Business Improvement District Preliminary Engineer's Report Fiscal Year 2006/07 DESCRIPTION OF BUDGET ITEMS DIRECT BENEFiT COSTS • Landscape Maintenance: 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. The frequency and specific maintenance and operations required within the District will be determined by City staff. The landscape maintenance area is approximately 10,000 square feet. Landscape Pruning: Includes all regularly scheduled labor, material, and equipment required to properly maintain and ensure the satisfactory condition of all trees including palm trees, and appurtenant facilities. All landscaping improvements within the District are contracted for maintenance and service on a regular basis. The frequency and specific maintenance and operations required within the District will be determined by City staff. There will be approximately 45 trees to be maintained. Landscape Water. Utility cost to furnish water for required landscape irrigation. The landscape maintenance area is approximately 10,000 square feet. Lighting: The furnishing of 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. There will be approximately 30 street lights to be serviced. • Sweeping Services: Weekly cleaning of the parking areas and gutters using a contracted, mechanized service. • Landscape Repairs/Lighting: 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, as well as planned upgrades which could include replacing plant and lighting materials or renovation of irrigation and lighting systems. MuniFinancial Page 11 City of Palm Desert Alessandro Alley Property and Business Improvement District Preliminary Engineer's Report Fiscal Year 2006/07 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. Operating Reserve Fund: 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 2007/08 through FY 2010/11. Because the District is proposed to operate beginning in FY 2006/07, with no assessments collected in the prior fiscal year (FY 2005/06), the first six months of District operations (in FY 2006/07) will be funded through non-District accounts. Once the District receives the first installment of assessments from the County of Riverside in January 2007, the non-District account(s) will be reimbursed. The plans proposed are for construction of improvements to begin in Fa112006 and be completed by early 2007. If the District's activities become effective in early 2007, there will be District funds available to cover their costs. The Operating Reserve Fund may also be used to off-set 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. For Fiscal Year 2006/07, the Operating Reserve Fund Collection is proposed to be under seventeen percent (16.41%) of the annual Total District Costs. For Fiscal Years 2007/08 through 2010/11, the Operating Reserve Fund Collection is proposed to be under twelve percent (11.54%� of the annual Total District Costs. • Parking Areas Maintenance Fund: The Parking Areas Maintenance Fund provides funds for the sealing and re-striping of the parking areas after the fourth year of the term of the District. These funds are proposed to MuniFinancial Page 12 City of Palm Desert Alessandro Alley Property and Business Improvement District Preliminary Engineer's Report Fiscal Year 2006/07 be held in reserve until such time as the sealing and re-striping are required and there are sufficient funds to pay for their costs. • 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. There are currently no exempt parcels within the District; however, non-assessed lots or parcels may include easements, common areas, and parcels within the boundaries of the District that do not benefit from the improvements. • Total Front Footage (Parking Areas): This is the sum total of the parcel front footage applied to each parcel within the District. • Levy Rate per Direct Costs: This amount represents the Rate being applied to each parcel's individual front footage for Direct Costs. The Levy Rate per Direct Costs is the result of dividing the estimated Total Direct Costs for that year by the sum of the District's Total Parcel Footage Footage. The rate is calculated to three decimal places. • Levy Rate per Indirect Costs: This amount represents the Rate being applied to each parcel for Administrative Costs, the Operating Reserve Fund and the Parking Areas Maintenance Fund. 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 Parcel Footage. The rate is calculated to three decimal places. • Total Levy Rate for District Costs: This is the sum total of the Levy Rate per Direct Costs and the Levy Rate per Indirect Costs. The rate is calculated to three decimal places. MuniFinancial Page 13 City of Palm Desert Alessandro Alley Property and Business Improvement District Preliminary Engineer's Report Fiscal Year 2006/07 '� C � 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 2006/07 through Fiscal Year 2010/11 are based on the estimated costs to provide the improvements and services for each year, adjusted for the three percent (3%) inflation factor. The 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.
