INTRODUCTION This report is prepared in compliance with the requirements of Article 4, Chapter 6.4, of the Benefit Assessment Act of 1982, (hereinafter referred to as the "Act") of the California Government Code. Pursuant to the Act, the City Council is the legislative body for the District and may levy annual assessments and act as the governing body for the operations and administration of the District. The Act provides for the levy of annual assessments after formation of an assessment district for the continued maintenance and servicing of the district improvements. The costs associated with the installation, maintenance and service of the improvements may be assessed to those properties which are benefited by the installation, maintenance and service. RIGHT TO VOTE ON TAXES ACT (PROPOSITION 218) On November 5, 1996, the electorate approved Proposition 218, Right to Vote on Taxes Act, which added articles XIII C and XIII D to the California Constitution. The Proposition affects all assessments upon real property for a special benefit conferred on the property. Assessments imposed under the Benefit Assessment Act of 1982 are these types of benefit assessments. However, the Proposition also exempts any assessments imposed to finance the costs associated with drainage systems. Each and every parcel included in this District was originally conditioned to install drainage improvements before the development could proceed. In order to preserve the investment in the drainage improvements and satisfy the required condition, Drainage Benefit Assessment Area (DBAA) No. 3 was formed. Each developer who owned all of the parcels subject to the assessment, agreed by petition to the formation and the assessment being imposed. Subsequent owners of parcels were also made aware through Title Reports and Department of Real Estate "White Paper" Reports that the parcels were in the District and subject to the assessments. Purchase of the parcel(s) was also an agreement by the new owners to be subject to the assessments. Therefore, the assessments for DBAA No. 3 are exempt from the provisions of Proposition 218. However, subsequent increases, if any, will be subject to the procedures and approval process of Section 4 of Article XIII D. 2 June 23, I998 City of Santa Ckulta The City may approve and impose assessments for the continued maintenance and servicing of the improvements by passing a resolution which generally describes any proposed new improvements or any substantial changes in existing improvements. Assessments, if authorized, would be placed on the 1998/99 County Tax Roll, and be collected with the regular County property taxes. Reserve funds would be used to fund the maintenance and service until assessment funds are distributed by the County Tax Collector in December of 1998. II. PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS The proposed improvements for the DBAA include, but are not limited to, and may be generally described as follows: DESCRIPTION OF THE SERVICE The proposed services involves the maintenance and operation of the subsurface drainage system constructed for Tract No. 36496, shown on Exhibit "A", bounded by Nadal Street and Whites Canyon Road. The subsurface drainage facilities consists of three observation wells without pumps and 16 hydraugers. The drainage facilities are shown on Exhibit A. Maintenance and operation of the subsurface drainage facilities involve: 1) periodic inspection, monitoring and evaluations; 2) well and access shaft unclogging and clean-out where necessary; 3) annual geologist review with a report and recommendations; 4) installation of dewatering devices and other mitigation measures; and 5) periodic repairs, when necessary. Plans and Specifications for the improvements for the DBAA are voluminous and are not bound in this report but by this reference are incorporated and made a part of this report. The plans and specifications are on file at the City. III. ESTIMATED COSTS OF THE IMPROVEMENTS The Act provides that the estimated costs of the improvements will include the total cost of the improvements for Fiscal Year 1998/99, including incidentals, which may include reserves to operate the District until funds are transmitted to the City from the County, around December 10th of the next fiscal year. 3 June 23, 1998 City of Santa Clarity The Act also provides that the amounts of any surplus, deficit, or contribution are included in the estimated cost of improvements. The net amount to be assessed on the lots or parcels within each district is the total cost of installation, maintenance, and servicing with adjustments either positive or negative for reserves, surpluses, deficits, and/or contributions. Estimated costs of improvements for the DBAA are voluminous and are not bound in this report but by this reference are incorporated and made a part of this report. The estimated costs are on file at the City where they are available for public inspection. The estimated total annual cost to provide this maintenance is $28,413.04. The proposed assessment for Fiscal Year 1998/99 will be $122.47 per benefit unit. An increase of assessment is not recommended at this point. Therefore, the proposed assessment for FY 98-99 is the same as the current assessment per benefit unit. BENEFIT AREA The area located within the District boundaries shown on Exhibit "A" is the area of benefit and the imposition of the benefit assessment will be restricted to this area. The basis of benefit was determined to be dwelling units, i.e., one dwelling unit equals one benefit unit.

INTRODUCTION This report is prepared in compliance with the requirements of Article 4, Chapter 6.4, of the Benefit Assessment Act of 1982, (hereinafter referred to as the "Act") of the California Government Code. Pursuant to the Act, the City Council is the legislative body for the District and may levy annual assessments and act as the governing body for the operations and administration of the District. The Act provides for the levy of annual assessments after formation of an assessment district for the continued maintenance and servicing of the district improvements. The costs associated with the installation, maintenance and service of the improvements may be assessed to those properties which are benefitted by the installation, maintenance and service. RIGHT TO VOTE ON TAXES ACT (PROPOSITION 218) On November 5, 1996, the electorate approved Proposition 218, Right to Vote on Taxes Act, which added articles XIII C .and XIII D to the California Constitution. The Proposition affects all assessments upon real property for a special benefit conferred on the property. Assessments imposed under the Benefit Assessment Act of 1982 are these types of benefit assessments. However, the Proposition also exempts any assessments imposed to finance the costs associated with drainage systems. Each and every parcel included in this District was originally conditioned to install drainage improvements before the development could proceed. In order to preserve the investment in the drainage improvements and satisfy the required condition, Drainage Benefit Assessment Area (DBAA) No. 19 was formed. Each developer who owned all of the parcels subject to the assessment, agreed by petition to the formation and the assessment being imposed. Subsequent owners of parcels were also made aware through Title Reports and Department of Real Estate "White Paper" Reports that the parcels were in the District and subject to the assessments. Purchase of the parcel(s) was also an agreement by the new owners to be subject to the assessments. Therefore, the assessments for DBAA No. 19 are exempt from the provisions of Proposition 218. However, subsequent increases, if any, will be subject to the procedures and approval process of Section 4 of Article XIII D. June 23, 1998 -2- City of Santa Clarifa ENGINEER'S REPORT CITY OF SANTA CLARITA DRAINAGE BENEFIT ASSESSMENT AREA (DBAA) NO. 19 FISCAL YEAR 1998/1999 SUBMITTED JUNE 23, 1998 The City may approve and impose assessments for the continued maintenance and servicing of the improvements by passing a resolution which generally describes any proposed new improvements or any substantial changes in existing improvements. Assessments, if authorized, would be placed on the 1998/99 County Tax Roll, and be collected with the regular County property taxes. Reserve funds would be used to fund the maintenance and service until assessment funds are distributed by the County Tax Collector in December of 1998. II. PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS The proposed improvements for the DBAA include, but are not limited to, and may be generally described as follows: DESCRIPTION OF THE SERVICE The proposed services involves the maintenance and operation of the subsurface drainage system and pump station constructed for properties shown on Exhibit "A" bounded by Four Oaks Street, Glasser Avenue, Delight Street, and Camp Plenty Road. The subsurface drainage facilities consist of two wells with pumps. Each well is enclosed in a pump house. Maintenance and operation of the subsurface drainage facilities involve: 1) periodic inspection, monitoring and evaluations; 2) well unclogging and clean-out where necessary; 3) maintenance of pumps; 4) annual geologist review with a report and recommendations; 5) installation of dewatering devices and other mitigation measures; and 6) periodic repairs, when necessary. Plans and Specifications for the improvements for the DBAA are voluminous and are not bound in this report but by this reference are incorporated and made a part of this report. The plans and specifications are on file at the City. III. ESTIMATED COSTS OF THE IMPROVEMENTS The Act provides that the estimated costs of the improvements will include the total cost of the improvements for Fiscal Year 1998/99, including incidentals, which may include reserves to operate the District until funds are transmitted to the City from the County, around December 10th of the next fiscal year. Jane 23, 1998 -3- City of Santa Cfarita The Act also provides that the amounts of any surplus, deficit, or contribution are included in the estimated cost of improvements. The net amount to be assessed on the lots or parcels within each District is the total cost of installation, maintenance, and servicing with adjustments either positive or negative for reserves, surpluses, deficits, and/or contributions. The estimated total annual cost to provide this maintenance is $6,612.00. The proposed assessment for Fiscal Year 1998/99 will be $38.00 per benefit unit. An increase of assessment is not recommended at this point. Therefore, the proposed assessment for FY 98-99 is the same as the current assessment per benefit unit. BENEFIT AREA The area located within the District boundaries shown on Exhibit "A" is the area of benefit and the imposition of the benefit assessment will be restricted to this area. The basis of benefit was determined to be dwelling units, i.e., one dwelling unit equals one benefit unit. Drainage Benefit Assessment Area No. 19 comprises 174 dwelling units with each dwelling an equivalent to one benefit unit as listed below. If changes occur in assessor's parcel numbers, the proposed assessment will be apportioned according to the basis of benefit. lune 23.7998 El City of Santa Clarita BASIS AND SCHEDULE OF BENEFIT Assessor Benefit Total Parcel Number Units Assessment 2806-008-001 through 018-035 through 037 21 $ 798.00 2806-009-001 through 039 39 1,482.00 39 2806-010-001 through 039 1,482.00 39 2806-011-001 through 039 1,482.00 14 2806-012-001 through 014 532.00 2806-014-001 through 008 8 304.00 2806-015-001 through 014 14 532.00 Total 174 units $ 6,612.00 Submitted By: Richard L.
