Nisich SUBJECT: PROPOSED ASSESSMENT DISTRICT (GOLDEN VALLEY ROAD) Resolution Numbers: 92-80, 92-81, 92-82 and 92-83 DEPARTMENT: Community Development BACKGROUND As part of the conditions of approval for five developments consisting of 556 lots along Golden Valley Road between Highway 14 and Sierra Highway, a funding mechanism is required for each of the developers to share in the construction costs. The general description of work consists of the storm drains, street lights, traffic signals, landscaping park land, certain grading, clearing and grubbing, asphalt concrete paving, including acquisition of necessary rights-of-way, together with appurtenances and appurtenant work necessary to accomplish the construction of Golden Valley Road. The improvements will be constructed and the costs will be assessed upon the five developments. On April 2, 1992, funding and acquisition agreements were approved by the City Council with four of the developers, the fifth agreement was approved previously, to facilitate the formation of an assessment.district. Generally, the developers cannot record their individual tracts until this funding condition is satisfied, and Phase 1 of the bonds relating to this assessment district are sold. The funding and acquisition agreement requires the City to use its best efforts to establish the district as soon as practical. The assessment district will be done in two phases. Phase I will consist of full road improvements adjacent to the Amcal, Showcase Homes, and G.W. .Palmer developments, and two lanes of pavement in each direction adjacent to the Hunt/Heeber development - (see attached map). Phase II will complete the improvements adjacent to the Hunt/Heeber development. By phasing the project, the City will be assured that when any one of the four developers (other than Amcal) requests approval of their map, four travel lanes, the trail system, and most of the landscaping will be underway and/or completed as part of Phase I before new homebuyers occupy the development. The Council may recall that the Amcal project was approved for sale of lots and construction of residential buildings. They are obligated to complete the improvements along Golden Valley Road from Route 14 to Green Mountain Drive and to participate with the others in completing the road to Sierra Highway. Since their project had direct access to Route 14, it was felt that they had a lesser traffic impact on the adjacent residential streets. However, even though. they are proceeding with their project, they are obligated to participate in the construction of the remaining Golden Valley Road improvements through participation in the assessment district. Adopted:- 41-.gl- Q/ca' Agenda Item: PROPOSED ASSESSMENT DISTRICT (GOLDEN VALLEY ROAD) Page 2 The Engineer's Report, expected to be heard at this meeting, gives details concerning the boundaries, improvements, costs and methods of assessment for assessment district No. 92-2 and further explains the details for phasing of the project. Future steps include a public hearing, finalization of construction costs covered by the district and a final Engineer's Report. Once the public hearing is conducted and the Engineer's Report is approved, the assessments will be levied on the individual properties. The structure and manner of sale of the assessment bonds will be submitted to the Council at a later date. Adopt Resolution No. 92-80, which formally appoints Willdan & Associates as Engineer of Work; Fieldman, Rolapp & Associates as Financial Advisor, and Jones, Hall, Hill & White as bond counsel. Adopt Resolution 92-81, which formally begins the process of creating the new district, refers the Engineer's Report to the Engineer of Work, provides for the issuance of the limited obligation improvement bonds and otherwise complies with various statutory requirements. Adopt Resolution'No. 92-82, which officially determines that at least 60% of the area has asked for the assessments and has waived the separate valuation proceedings under Division 4 of the Streets.and Highways Code as authorized under Section 2804 thereof. Adopt Resolution 92-83, which gives tentative approval to the Engineer's Report, sets the required public hearing, directs the recording of the boundary map and provides for the various notices of hearing required by law.

The public interest, convenience and necessity require, and that it intends to order the making of the acquisitions and improvements described in Exhibit "A" attached hereto and made a part hereof, 2. Except as herein otherwise provided for the issuance of bonds, all of the work shall be done as provided in the Municipal Improvement Act of 1913, Division 12 of the Streets and Highways Code of California (the "Code"). 3. All of the work and improvements are to be constructed at the places and in the particular locations, of the forms, sizes, dimensions and materials, and at the lines, grades and elevations, as shown and delineated upon the plans, profiles and specifications to be made therefor, as hereinafter provided. There is to be excepted from the work above described any of such work already done to line and grade and marked excepted or shown not to be done on the plans, profiles and specifications. Whenever any public way is herein referred to as running between two public ways, or from or to any public way, the intersections of the public ways referred to are included to the extent that work is shown on the plans to be done therein. The streets and highways are or will be more particularly shown in the records in the office of the County Recorder of the County of Los Angeles, State of California, and shall be shown upon the plans. 4. Notice is hereby given of the fact that in many cases the work and improvements will bring the finished work to a grade different from that formerly existing, and that to the extent the grades are hereby changed and that the work will be done to the changed grades. 5. In cases where there is any disparity in level or size between the improvements proposed to be made herein and private property and where it is more economical to eliminate such disparity by work on the private property than by adjustment of the work on public property, it is hereby determined that it is in the public interest and more economical to do such work on private property to eliminate such disparity. In such cases, the work on private property shall; with the written consent of the owner of the property, be done and the actual cost thereof may be added to the proposed assessment of the lot on which the work is to be done. 6. This Council does hereby adopt and establish as the official grades for the work the grades and elevations to be shown upon the plans, profiles and specifications. All such grades and elevations are to be in feet and decimals thereof with reference to the datum plane of this City. 7. The descriptions of the acquisitions and improvements and the termini of the work contained in this Resolution are general in nature. All items of work do not necessarily extend for the full length of the description thereof. The plans and profiles of the work and maps and descriptions as contained in the Engineer's Report, hereinafter directed to be made and filed, shall be controlling as to the correct and detailed description thereof. 8. The contemplated acquisitions and improvements, in the opinion of this Council, are of more than local or ordinary public benefit, and the costs and expenses thereof are made chargeable upon an assessment district, the exterior boundaries of which are shown on a map thereof on file in the office of the City Clerk, to which reference is hereby made for further particulars. The map indicates by a boundary line the extent of the territory included in the proposed district and shall govern for all details as to the extent of the assessment district. 9. This Council declares that all public streets, highways, lanes and alleys within the assessment district in use in the performance of a public function; and all lands owned by any public entity, including the United States and the State of California, or any departments thereof, shall be omitted from the assessment hereafter to be made to cover the costs and expenses of the acquisitions and improvements. 10. The acquisitions and improvements .are hereby referred to Willdan Associates, as Engineer of Work for this assessment district, a competent firm employed by this City for the purpose hereof (the "Engineer of Work"), and the Engineer of Work is hereby directed to make and file with the City Clerk a report in writing, presenting the following: (a) Maps and descriptions of the lands and easements to be acquired, if any; (b) Plans and specifications of the proposed improvement if the improvements are not already installed. The plans and specifications do not need to be detailed and are sufficient if they show or describe the general nature, location, and extent of the improvements. If the assessment district is divided into zones, the plans and specifications shall indicate the class and the type of improvements to be provided for each zone. The plans or specifications may be prepared as separate documents, or either or both may be incorporated in the Engineer's Report as a combined document. (c) A general description of works or appliances already installed and any other property necessary or convenient for the operation of the improvements, if the works, appliances, or property are to be acquired as part of the improvements. (d) An estimate of the cost of the improvements and of the cost of lands, rights-of- way, easements, and incidental expenses in connection with the improvements, including any cost of registering bonds. (e) A diagram showing, as they existed at the time of the passage of this Resolution, all of the following: (i) The exterior boundaries of the assessment district. (ii) The boundaries of any zones within the district. (iii) The lines and dimensions of each parcel of land within the district. Each subdivision, shall be given a separate number upon the diagram. The diagram may refer to the county assessor's maps for a detailed description of the lines and dimensions of any parcels, in which case those maps shall govern for all details concerning the lines and dimensions of the parcels. (f) A proposed assessment of the total amount of the cost and expenses of the proposed improvement upon the several subdivisions of land in the district in proportion to -2- the estimated benefits to be received by each subdivision, respectively, from the improvement. In the case of an assessment for installation of planned local drainage facilities which are financed, in whole or in part, pursuant to Section 66483 of the Government Code, the assessment levied against each parcel of subdivided land may be levied on the basis of the proportionate storm water runoff from each parcel. The assessment shall refer to the subdivisions by their respective numbers as assigned pursuant to subdivision (e). When any portion or percentage of the costs and expenses of the acquisitions and improvements is to be paid from sources other than assessments, the amount of such portion or percentage shall first be deducted from the total estimated cost and expenses of the acquisitions and improvements, and the assessment shall include only the remainder of the estimated cost and expenses. 11. If any excess shall be realized from the assessment it shall be used, in such amounts as this Council may determine, in accordance with the provisions of law, for one or more of the following purposes: (a) Transfer to the general fund of this City, provided that the amount of any such transfer shall not exceed the lesser of $1,000 or 5% of the total amount expended from the improvement fund; (b) As a credit upon the assessment and any supplemental assessment and/or to call outstanding bonds; or (c) For the maintenance of the improvements. 12. To the extent that any of the work, rights, improvements and acquisitions indicated in the Engineer's Report, to be made as provided herein, are shown to be connected to the facilities, works or systems of, or are to be owned, managed and controlled by, any public agency other than this City, or of any public utility, it is the intention of this Council to enter into an agreement with such public agency or public utility pursuant to Chapter 2 (commencing with Section 10100) of Division 12 of the Code, which agreement may provide for, among other matters, the ownership, operation and maintenance by such agency or utility of the works, rights, improvements and acquisitions, and may provide for the installation of all or a portion of such improvements by the agency or utility and for the providing of service to the properties in the area benefiting from the work, rights, improvements and acquisitions by such agency or utility in accordance with its rates, rules and regulations, and that such agreement shall become effective after proceedings have been taken for the levy of the assessments and sale of bonds and funds are available to carry out the terms of any such agreement. 13. Notice is hereby given that serial bonds, term bonds, or both, to represent unpaid assessments, and bear interest at the rate of not to exceed twelve percent (12%) per annum, or such higher rate of interest as may be authorized by applicable law at the time of sale of such bonds, will be issued hereunder in the manner provided by the Improvement Bond Act of 1915, Division. 10 of the Code, the last installment of which bonds shall mature not to exceed thirty-nine (39) years from the second day of September next succeeding twelve months from their date. The Council may provide in its proceedings for the issuance of bonds that the principal amount of bonds maturing or becoming subject to mandatory prior redemption each year shall be other than an amount equal to an even annual proportion of the aggregate principal of the bonds, and that the amount of principal maturing or becoming subject to mandatory prior redemption in each year plus the amount of interest payable in that year will be an aggregate amount that is substantially equal each year, except for moneys falling due on the first maturity or mandatory prior redemption date of the bonds which shall be adjusted to reflect the amount of interest earned from the date when the bonds bear interest -3- to the date when the fust interest is payable on the bonds. To the extent that term bonds are issued, provision shall be for mandatory prior redemption of those bonds through annual sinking fund installments conforming to the requirements hereof. The provisions of Part 11.1 of Division 10 of the Code, providing an alternative procedure for the advance payment and calling of bonds, shall apply to the bonds issued in these proceedings. It is the intention of this Council to create a special reserve fund pursuant to and as authorized by Part 16 of Division 10 of the Code. It is the intention of the City that the City will not obligate itself to advance available funds from the treasury of the City to cure any deficiency in the redemption fund to be created with respect to the bonds; provided, however, that a determination not to obligate itself shall not prevent the City from, in its sole discretion, so advancing funds. The bonds may be refunded pursuant to the provisions of Division 11.5 of the Code upon the determination of the Council of the City that the public interest or necessity requires such refunding. Such refunding may be undertaken by the Council when, in its opinion, lower prevailing interest rates may allow reduction in the amount of the installments of principal and interest upon the assessments to be given- to owners of property assessed for the works herein described. The refunding bonds shall bear interest at a rate not to exceed that which is stated in the resolution of the Council expressing its intention to issue the refunding bonds, which resolution of intention shall also set forth the maximum term of years of the refunding bonds. Any adjustment to assessments resulting from the refunding will be done on a pro rata basis. The refunding shall be accomplished pursuant to Division 11.5 (commencing with Section 9500) of the Code, except that, if, following the filing of the Engineer's Report specified in Section 9523 and any subsequent modifications of the Engineer's Report, the Council finds that each of the conditions specified in the resolution of intention to issue the refunding bonds is satisfied and that adjustments to the assessments are on a pro rata basis, the Council may approve and confirm the Engineer's Report and may, without further proceedings, authorize, issue and sell the refunding bonds pursuant to Chapter 3 (commencing with Section 9600) of Division 11.5 of the Code. 14. Notice is hereby given that, in the opinion of this Council, the public interest will not be served by allowing the property owners to take the contract for the construction of the improvements and therefore that, pursuant to Section 20487 of the Public Contract Code, no notice of award of contract shall be published. 15. Richard Kopechy, is hereby designated as the person to answer inquiries regarding any protest proceedings to be had herein, and may be contacted during regular office hours at 23920 Valencia Blvd., Suite 300, Santa Clarita, California, or by calling telephone number (805) 255-4995.

I completed an appraisal for the Golden Valley Assessment District in September of 1990 and was familiar at that time with the market value of the lands of the.subdivider(s) proposed to be assessed in the proceedings for the assessment district and with the proposed public improvements to be made and financed in the proceedings. I am also generally familiar with the effect of installation of such types of public improvements upon the value of lands to be served thereby. It was my opinion as of September 1990 that the total estimated amount of the proposed assessment in said proceedings on all lands within the assessment district and the total estimated amount proposed to be assessed at that time on the lands owned by said subdivider(s) did not exceed 758 of the estimated fair market value of the lands after the proposed public improvements have been constructed. This letter is submitted on behalf of the subdivider(s). Sincerely: //� Gary L. Vogt, MAI i cJONES HALL HILL & WHITE, A PH07ESSIONAL LAW CORPORATION ATTORNEYS AT LAW CHARLES F. ADAMS STEPHEN R.

I completed an appraisal for the Golden Valley Assessment District in September of 1990 and was familiar at that time with the market value of the lands of the subdivider(s) proposed to be assessed in the proceedings -for the assessment district and with the proposed public improvements to be made and financed in the proceedings. I am also generally familiar with the effect of installation of such types of public improvements upon the value of lands to be served thereby. It was my opinion as of September 1990 that the:total estimated amount of the proposed assessment in said proceedings on all lands within the assessment district and the total estimated amount proposed to beassessed at that time on the lands owned by said subdivider(s) did not exceed 75% of the estimated fair market value of the lands after the proposed public improvements have been constructed. This letter.is submitted on behalf of the subdivider(s). Sincerely: Gary L.
