Additional Description/Analysis
IssueDetail
Issue Detail: On July 29, 2003, Council approved formation of the Power Inn Road Maintenance District No. 2003-01 (District) under the California Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 (California Streets and Highways Code § 22500 et. seq.), called the “1972 Act.” The District provides funding for the maintenance of the landscaped corridor located along the frontage of lots adjacent to Power Inn Road between 14th Avenue and the Regional Transit overcrossing located just south of Folsom Boulevard (see Exhibit A to the Resolution for a map of the District). The landscaped corridor is designated as the area between the separated sidewalk and the curb and gutter.
On May 7, 2024, Council adopted Resolution No. 2024-0138 approving the Engineer’s Annual Report and declaring its intention to levy assessments for the District. Approval of the attached Resolution will authorize the City to levy assessments to provide partial funding for maintenance of the landscaped areas adjacent to the parcels within the District for FY2024/25.
The District funds only a portion of the total cost of providing landscape maintenance services to the District. The Engineer’s Annual Report separates the benefits of the District between “special benefits” to the assessed parcels and “general benefits” that do not directly benefit those assessed parcels. Only special benefits can be funded by District assessments. Analysis of the District amenities shows that assessed parcels in the District receive 74.25% of the benefit from the improvements as a direct benefit. This percentage is the special benefit provided by the District. The remaining amount must be funded from other sources. The funding sources and budget for the District are detailed in the Financial Considerations section below and on Exhibit B to the Resolution.

EnvironmentalConsiderations
Environmental Considerations:
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA): Under the CEQA Guidelines, continuing administrative activities of an assessment district and creation of government funding mechanisms or other governmental fiscal activities which do not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment do not constitute a project and are therefore exempt from CEQA review (14 Cal. Code Regs. § 15378(b)(2), (b)(4)).

Rationale for Recommendation: The recommended action supports funding for landscape maintenance services in the District via property-based assessments.
End
FinancialConsiderations
Financial Considerations: The total estimated expense budget for the District in FY2024/25 is $17,389 as shown in Exhibit B and detailed in the Engineer’s Annual Report on file with the Infrastructure Finance Division of the Department of Finance. Pursuant to the Engineer’s Annual Report, $13,012 of assessment revenue can be used to fund special benefits. The remaining portion of the maintenance, utilities, and administrative costs, attributed to general benefit and detailed in Exhibit B, will be provided by the operating budgets of the Department of Public Works, Streets Division and the Department of Finance, Infrastructure Finance Division.
Pursuant to previous Council action authorizing automatic annual increases to the District’s maximum authorized assessment amount (Resolution No. 2003-356), the maximum authorized assessment amount for the District is automatically increased for FY2024/25 by 3.67% based on an increase to the 2024 Consumer Price Index-San Francisco Area (All Urban Consumers). The proposed assessment for FY2024/25 of $3.27 per linear foot of frontage is a 3.67% increase from the FY2023/24 assessment of $3.16 per linear foot of frontage. The proposed FY2024/25 assessment is the maximum allowed assessment for FY2024/25. The proposed increase is necessary to maintain service levels and adequate reserves to cover extraordinary maintenance.
