IMPACT ON FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES:
The City created three assessment districts that provide assessment fees that pay for the
landscaping and other specified maintenance for the respective assessment districts. The
assessments are placed on the affected property owner's tax roll each year. The total
amount of revenue to be received from the assessment districts and used for specified
maintenance and management projects in FY 202 5-26 is approximately $56,298.
BACKGROUND:
Parkside Village Assessment District
On November 8, 2005, at the request of Parkside Village LLC, the sole owner and
developer of the Parkside Village Subdivision (Tract 2310), the City Council approved the
formation of the Parkside Village Assessment District. The improvements (maintenance
and servicing) in the Parkside Village Assessment District include, but are not limited to:

Item 9.d.
City Council
Engineer’s Reports for Assessment Districts

Page 2
Areas bordering Farroll Road, Bakeman Lane, entrances, behind and along
Bakeman Lots 10, 11, 12 and 13 of Phase 1.
Mini Park, pedestrian pathway easement, and drainage basin.
Fencing, gates, and walls bordering Farrall Road, Bakeman Lane entrances,
behind and along Bakeman Lots 10, 11, 12 and 13, park and drainage basin.
Pathway easement, lighting, and all improvements between lots 1, 2, and 3
between Dixson Street and the mini park, the mini park and all improvements to
include walkways, play area, benches and basketball court on Lot 24; and
Drainage retention basin, and all improvements, including the water separator on
Lot 25 and French drains along the East boundary of Tract 2310 -2.
Current status:
Assessment income remains at $43,966 annually.
Potential Annual Expenditures (work improvements) average $30,000 to $35,000
annually and do not exceed the annual income.
Expenditures/Work Improvements are completed as needed and through a
licensed landscape contractor.
The work improvements to be financed and maintained through this assessment
district are landscaping and irrigation of common areas, maintenance of fencing
and block walls, maintenance of a detention basin and drainage facilities, and
partial park maintenance. The expanded infrastructure (detention basin,
surrounding metal fencing, and small park) requires a larger fund balance in
anticipation of eventual replacement of these facilities. Assessment income not
spent on annual maintenance is accrued to cover these replacement costs in the
future.
Proposals were received from contractors for the replacement of playground
equipment at Parkside Park and will be presented to the residents of the
assessment district for their selection. Contract to be awarded June 24, 2025.
Grace Lane Assessment District
On November 28, 2006, at the request of Vista Robles LLC, the sole owner of the Grace
Lane Subdivision (Tract 2236) at that time, the City Council approved the formation of the
Grace Lane Assessment District. The annual assessments are $460 or $608 per parcel
for a total annual assessment of $9,332. Maintenance and servicing of the improvements
in the District include, but are not limited to:
Pedestrian trail across the open space property (Lot B), including, but not limited
to, the existing informal hiking trail currently passing through Lot B, signage, and
fencing;
Common areas and facilities, including but not limited to, the open space parcels
and drainage facilities;
Open space maintenance in accordance with fuel modification specifications; and

Common drive area (not within the parcel boundaries) and associated
improvement for Lots 16 through 19.
Current status:
Assessment income remains at $9,332 annually.
Potential Annual Expenditures (work improvements) average $10,000; however,
the amount of annual vegetation management and drainageway maintenance can
be achieved with current assessment income.
Contractual services costs through the California Men's Colony (CMC) inmate
crews are steadily increasing, but have also kept the overall maintenance costs
lower due to the routinely lower costs of labor versus a private contractor.
Expenditures/Work Improvements are completed as needed and through a 4-year
contract with CMC.
The work improvements to be financed and maintained through this assessment
district are fuel modification in common areas and the adjacent large open space
area; maintenance of drainage easement area and storm drain facilities; public trail
maintenance; and a seal coat approximately every 5 years and a 2" A.C. overlay
approximately every 20 years to the common driveway area to lots 16 -19.
The need for a seal coat application was evaluated last year. After a field
evaluation, it was determined that the seal coat application could be delayed. Staff
will continue to monitor asphalt conditions in the common area of the driveway that
accesses lots 16-19. This common driveway is located directly across the street
from Grace Bible Church.
Arroyo Grande Landscaping and Lighting Assessment District No.1 within Tract 1769 On
June 9, 1992, Arroyo Grande Landscaping and Lighting Assessment District No. 1 within
Tract 1769 was created to provide landscaping and lighting improvements and
maintenance for Tract 1769. The total assessment was $100 per parcel located within
Tract 1769 (a total of $3,000). Improvements in Landscaping and Lighting Assessment
District No. 1 include but are not limited to landscaping and ornamental vegetation in the
public rights of way.
Current status:
Assessment income remains at $3,000 annually.
Potential Annual Expenditures (work improvements), if done annually, would
exceed the annual fund balance by approximately $300.
Expenditures/Work Improvements are completed as funding accumulates to a
point where costs can be covered. If no services are needed and/or the annual
engineering report is less in scope, these fees are not expended and can be carried
over to the next fiscal year fund balance.
The work improvements to be financed and maintained through this assessment
district are related to landscape maintenance and limited to the applicable
parkways and median along Oak Park Boulevard only.

At its May 13, 20251 meeting, the City Council ordered the preparation of the Annual
Engineer’s Reports for the Parkside Village Assessment District, Grace Lane Assessment
District, and Arroyo Grande Landscaping and Lighting Assessment District No. 1, within
Tract No. 1769. The Engineer’s Report were prepared under the direction of the City
Engineer.
ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:
The California Streets and Highways Code Sections 22500 et seq., (California Landscape
and Lighting Act of 1972) (Act), contains the process by which local governmental
agencies form assessment districts for the purpose of financing the costs and expenses
of landscaping and lighting public areas. The Act requires the City to complete the
following process each fiscal year in order to levy and collect assessments:
Adopt a Resolution describing any proposed new improvements or any substantial
changes in existing improvements and ordering preparation and filing of an
engineer's report.
The City Council adopted Resolution Nos. 2025-024, 2025-025, and 2025-026 on
May 13, 2025, ordering the preparation of engineer's reports for the three
Assessment Districts. No new improvements or substantial changes in existing
improvements are proposed for FY 2025-26.
Approve the Engineer's Report and adopt a Resolution of Inten tion declaring the
City Council's intention to levy and collect assessments under the subject
assessment districts for the upcoming fiscal year. The Resolution also states
whether the assessment is proposed to change from the previous year and sets a
date, hour, and place for a public hearing.
Attached are draft proposed resolutions accomplishing this task. No changes to
the assessments are proposed.
Conduct the public hearing affording all interested parties the opportunity to hear
and be heard.
To be scheduled for June 24, 2025.
Adopt a Resolution confirming the assessment, which constitutes the levy of the
assessments for the 2025-26 fiscal year.
To be scheduled for June 24, 2025.

County of San Luis Obispo for inclusion on the FY 2025-25 property tax roll.
ALTERNATIVES:
The following alternatives are provided for the Council’s consideration:
1. Approve staff's recommendations;
2. Request changes or clarification to the Engineers' Reports and/or Resolutions and
approve as modified; or
3. Provide staff other direction.
ADVANTAGES:
Adoption of the Resolutions will allow the City to be in compliance with the Act and move
forward with the process to levy assessments.
DISADVANTAGES:
No disadvantages for the proposed actions have been identified.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Class 2 exemption: Replacement or reconstruction. The Consideration of Engineer's
Reports and Resolutions Declaring the City's Intention to Levy and Col lect Assessments
is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") under the
Class 2 exemption, which applies to the replacement or reconstruction of existing
structures and facilities where the new structure will be located on the same site as the
structure replaced and will have substantially the same purpose and capacity as the
structure replaced. (State CEQA Guidelines,§ 15302.). Alternatively, the proposed action
is not a project, and is exempt from review under CEQA, becau se adoption of the
engineer reports and resolutions declaring intention to levy assessments is an
organizational or administrative activity of government that does not itself result in direct
or indirect physical changes in the environment. (State CEQA Guidelines,§ 15378(b)(5))

INTRODUCTION ENGINEER’S REPORT
CITY OF ARROYO GRANDE
PARKSIDE VILLAGE ASSESSMENT DISTRICT
FISCAL YEAR 2025-26
To ensure a flow of funds for the construction, operation, maintenance and servicing of specified
improvements within the boundary of the subdivision known as Parkside (Tract Maps 2310-1 and 2310-
2); the City Council will approve the City of Arroyo Grande’s Parkside Village Assessment District (“The
District”) this fiscal year. As required by the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 (“The Act”), this
Engineer’s Report describes the improvements to be constructed, operated, maintained and serviced
by the District for Fiscal Year 2024-25, provides an estimated budget for the District and lists the
proposed assessments to be levied upon each assessable lot within the District. The boundaries of the
District are shown on the Assessment Diagram and incorporated into this report as Part “C”.
The cost of operation, maintenance, and servicing of the improvements to be funded by the District will
be apportioned to each lot within the District in proportion to the special benefit it receives. The method
of assessment may be amended from time to time by the City Council, in order to apportion the costs in
relation to the benefits being received. However, if the assessments are increased from the prior year,
they will be subject to the noticing and balloting procedures referenced in Proposition 218.
Payment of the assessment for each lot will be made in the same manner and at the same time as
payments are made for property taxes. All funds collected through the assessment must be placed in a
special fund and can only be used for the purpose stated within this report.
The City will hold a Public Hearing on June 24, 2025, to provide an opportunity for any interested
person to be heard. At the conclusion of the Public Hearing, the City Council may adopt a resolution

GRACE LANE ASSESSMENT DISTRICT
FISCAL YEAR 2025-26
To ensure a flow of funds for the construction, operation, maintenance and servicing of specified
improvements within the boundary of the subdivision known as Tract 2236 in the City of Arroyo Grande;
the City Council approves the City of Arroyo Grande’s Grace Lane Assessment District (“The District”)
this fiscal year. As required by the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 (“The Act”), this Engineer’s
Report describes the improvements to be constructed, operated, maintained, and serviced by the
District for Fiscal Year 2025-26, provides a most probable estimated budget for the District, and lists the
proposed assessments to be levied upon each assessable lot within the District. The boundaries of the
District are reflective of Tract 2236, shown on the Assessment Diagram and incorporated into this
report as Part “C”.
The cost of operation, maintenance, and servicing of the improvements to be funded by the District will
be apportioned to each lot within the District in proportion to the special benefit it receives. The method
of assessment may be amended from time to time by the City Council, in order to apportion the costs in
relation to the benefits being received. However, if the assessments are increased from the prior year,
they will be subject to the noticing and balloting procedures referenced in Proposition 218.
Payment of the assessment for each lot will be made in the same manner and at the same time as
payments are made for property taxes. All funds collected through the assessment must be placed in a
special fund and can only be used for the purpose stated within this report.
The City will hold a Public Hearing on June 24, 2025, to provide an opportunity for any interested
person to be heard. At the conclusion of the Public Hearing, the City Council may adopt a resolution
confirming the levy of assessments as originally proposed or as modified. Following the adoption of this
resolution and recordation of the District’s Tract Maps, the final Assessor’s roll will be prepared and filed
with the San Luis Obispo County Auditor’s Office to be included on the Fiscal Year 2025-26 tax roll.
