Discussion: The owners of certain property located within the Section 29 area of the City of Palm Desert have requested the City Council to initiate proceedings pursuant to the Municipal Improvement Act of 1913 to form an assessment district for the purpose of acquiring, constructing and installing certain public infrastructure improvements, including street, storm drain, sewer and water improvements. On November 16, 2006, the City Council adopted a resolution of intention to form the Section 29 Assessment District and to levy and collect assessments within the district. On November 16th, the City Council also adopted a resolution p�eliminarily approving the Engineer's Report prepared by the City's Assessment Engineer, setting a public hearing on January 11, 2007 and directing that a property owner balloting procedure be conducted in connection with the proposed formation of the Section 29 Assessment District. Such resolution also approved procedures for the completion, return and tabulation of assessment ballots, which are on file in the office of the City Clerk. The Engineer's Report, among other things, describes (i) the proposed acquisitions and improvements, (ii) the properties proposed to be subject to the assessment, (iii) the method of apportionment for calculating each parcel's proportional special benefits from the acquisitions and improvements; and the (iv) the proposed assessments. One of the proposed Section 29 Assessment District improvements is the acquisition by the City of an existing retention basin which currently serves property in Monterey 170 and the improvement and expansion of the basin so that it can also serve certain of the properties within the proposed Section 29 Assessment District as an alternative to the developers providing on-site drainage. The City Council is undertaking separate, concurrent proceedings to form a maintenance assessment district, City of Palm Desert Benefit Assessment District No. 1, (which includes properties in Monterey 170 and Section 29) for the purpose of levying annual maintenance assessments against the benefited properties to provide funding for the ongoing maintenance of the retention basin after it is acquired by the City. On January 11 th, prior to the public hearing on the Section 29 Assessment District, the Council will be conducting a public hearing, tabulating assessment ballots and determining whether a majority protest exists against the levy of the annual maintenance assessment. In the event of a majority protest against the maintenance assessment, the City would not have assessment revenues as a source of funding for the ongoing maintenance of the retention basin.

In accordance with these requirements, the City mailed a notice of the January 11th public hearing, together with an assessment ballot, to the property owners within the proposed Section 29 Assessment District more than 45 days prior to the date of the hearing. At the hearing all interested persons must be given the opportunity to hear and be heard regarding protests and objections to the formation of the Section 29 Assessment District, the levy and collection of the proposed assessments, and related matters. Each ballot is weighted in accordance with the proposed assessment against the parcel covered by the ballot. In order to be counted, all ballots must be retumed to the City prior to the close of the public input portion of the Section 29 Assessment District hearing. If the weighted ballots cast in opposition to the assessment do not exceed the weighted ballots cast in favor of the assessment (i.e., there is not a majority protest) the City Council may proceed to form the Section 29 Assessment District, levy the assessments, and authorize the issuance of bonds to represent unpaid assessments. The City Clerk and the Assessment Engineer will tabulate the ballots following the close of the public input portion of the hearing and determine whether or not a majority protest exists. In the event of a majority protest, Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 07- 4 , which declares the results of the tabulation and finds that a majority protest exists. In the event of a majority protest, proceedings for the formation of the Section 29 Assessment District, the levy of assessments and the issuance of bonds will terminate. In the absence of a majority protest, Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution Nos. 07- 4A , 07- 4B , and 07- 4C . It is necessary for the City Council to adopt the above resolutions to continue the process to form the Section 29 Assessment District and to authorize the issuance and sale of improvement bonds for the Assessment District. Resolution No. 07- 4A makes a finding with respect to the value of the land in the proposed Assessment District compared with the amount of the proposed assessments. As set forth in the Engineer's Report, the proposed assessments do not exceed one- half of the total value of the parcels proposed to be assessed. Resolution No. 07- 4B finally approves the Engineer's Report, confirms the assessment for the cost of the acquisitions and improvements and the annual $50.00 administrative assessment, orders the proposed acquisitions and improvements to be made, and approves the form of certain agreements and authorizes their execution (including an agreement for the City to purchase the retention basin, an agreement with the Palm P6401-I 033\938 I 20v I.doc 3 Staff Report Consideration of the Formation of the City of Palm Desert Section 29 Assessment District (No. 200402) Page 4 of 4 January 11, 2006 Springs Unified Schoof District with respect to a contribution of funds by the School District and an acquisition agreement with respect to the acquisition of certain improvements that have already been completed). Resolution No. 07-_ also directs that notices of the assessment be mailed, published and reco�ded in accordance with law. Following adoption of Resolution No. 07- , property owners will have a 30-day cash collection period in which to pay all or a part of their assessments in cash at a discounted amount (because certain financing costs, such as underwriter's discount, would not be applicable). At a subsequent Council meeting, the City may consider a resolution authorizing the issuance of improvement bonds to represent those assessments, which remain unpaid after the end of the 30-day cash collection period. Resolution No. 07- appoints financing professionals, such as the underwriters, the financial advisor, bond counsel and disclosure counsel, in connection with the proposed issuance of bonds.

Ho�ve��er, the law docs not specifj� the method or formula that should be used to apportion the assessments in the Assessment District proceedings. In addiuon, �lrticles XIIIC and XIIID of the California Consutution reyuire that onl�� special benefits are assessable,that no assessment ma}�exceed the proporaonal special benefit conferred on the parcel assessed and that publicly�o�vned parcels shall not be exempt from assessment unless clear and c�nvincing evidence demonstrates that such public o�vned parcels receive no special benefits from the impro��ements or sen�ices for�vhich the assessment is levied. Special benefit is a particular and ciisunct benefit over and above general benefits conferred to the public at large on real propern�located in the,lssessment District. General enhancement of propern'value does not consutute special benefit. It is necessar}�to idenrif��the benefit that thc��'orks of Improvement w�ill render to the properues�vithin the .�ssessment District. It is also necessar�' that the properties receive a special and ciirect benefit as ciistinguished from general benefit to the general public. The responsibilin�rests�vith the�lssessment Engineer who is appointed far the purpose of anal�-zing the facts and determining the method or formula for apportionment(spread) of the assessment obligation to the benefitted properties. For these proceedings, thc Cit}' has retained the firm of nfuniFinancial/��'illdan as the��ssessment Engineer. The�lssessment l�:nginecr makes the recommendation for the method of apportionment at the public hearing. The final authorit}� and acuon rest �vith the Cin� Council after hearing all testimon�� and evidence presented at the public hearing and the tabulation of assessment ballots. C;pon conclusion of the public hearing,the Cit}•C:ouncil must make the final action in deternzining that the assessment has been made in direct proportion to the benefit received. Ballot tabulation will then be completed,and if a majoriry of ballots,weighted b}�assessment amount, are in support of the assessment, then the Cin• Council may�establish the�lssessment District.

Construction of Portola�lvenue to its ultimate�vidth is not a condition of approval for de��elopment of the properties within the District. Construcaon of I'ortola:1��enue to its ulumate width is a benefit to the public at large and constitutes the same�eneral benefit. The cost of this general benefit is estimated at�713,2-�G and will be contributed b}'the Cin'of Palm Dcscrt. "1'his general benefit will n�t be assessed to the propertics within the I�istrict. Special Benefit .111 of the improvements are necessar}�for the orderl}�de�-elopment of the properties�vithin the District to achieve the full potential consistent with the(:it}'s General Plan. These impro��ements in total or in �art are reyuired as conciitions for an�• subdi��ision of the parcels or building permit application. Some of these impro��ements will also benefit school ciistrict pro�erues within the boundar}• of the llistrict.

'1'herefore, the school district propert5• will receive no special benefit that is not alread}' conferred �n other properaes �vithin the llistrict. BENEFIT ANALYSIS AND METHOD OF ASSESSMENT Streets Streets to be constructed as impro��ements in the district will benefit the properties to different degrees. In recognition of this factor, streets are classified inro t�vo benefit categories,i.c. rlrterial and Collector. Generall}� the tlrterial streets benefit all of the de��eloper's properh�, the Collector streets benefit onl}- some developers. Since the streets are necessary and required for the de��elopment of the number of units on the properties, the corresponding assessments will be bascd on the potential number of units that will be constructed on the properties. '11ie].o�ves parcel will be constructing portions of the rlrterial streets —east side of i�lontereti� and the north side of Gerald Ford across their propert��. Thet�will also be construcung a portion of the south side of"�1" Street, a collector. 'l�e costs of these impro��ements are a credit to the ].owes parcel,�vhich offsets entirelti• an}�benefit from the strect unpro��ements. Two other parcels on thc north side of 35'h r�venue either constructed portions of 35ih�lvenue or are served b�� streets to the north and recei��e no benefit from the ciistrict impro��ements. '1'hc parcel, Summit i�4onterc}'Propertics: .1PN G�3-2�0-007,would also be sen-ed b�• streets to the north but does reccive improeed access and benefit,albeit a reduced benefit, from the construction of 35�h �1�•enue. Storm Drains 'I'he storm drains are required to protect both thc properucs to be de��eloped as wcll as downstream pr�perties. Since the units of development c�uld n�t be constructed on the properties�vithout the MuniFinancial L�hibit �- Pagc 2 City of Palm Desert storm cirains, thc assessments will bc based on the number of units or equivalent units to bc developed on each propert}�.
