IMPACT ON FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES:
The City created three assessment districts that collect assessment fees to pay for
landscaping and other specified maintenance for the respective 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 2026 -27 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 in clude, but are not limited to:

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 Farroll 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. Annual cost indexing of the
maximum authorized assessments is tied to the region’s Consumer Price Index
(CPI). A CPI Adjustment was not made for 2026/27 fiscal year.
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 the new playground equipment was accepted
by City Council on October 28, 20251. The water fountain in Parkside Park was
also replaced (photos in Engineer’s Report).
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. A CPI Adjustment was not
made for 2026/27 fiscal year.
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.
Staff time associated with this assessment district has not historically been
charged to the district. Staff is developing procedures to track time in its
financial system to provide a more accurate representation of the district’s true
operating costs.
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. A CPI Adjustment was not
made for 2026/27 fiscal year.
Potential Annual Expenditures (work improvements), if done annually, would
exceed the annual fund balance.
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.
Staff time associated with this assessment district has not historically been
charged to the district. Staff is developing procedures to track time in its
financial system to provide a more accurate representation of the district’s true
operating costs.
At its May 12, 20262 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. 2026-025, 2025-026, and 2026-027 on May
12, 2026, 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 2026-27.

Item 9.f.
City Council
Engineer's Reports for Assessment Districts

Page 5
• Approve the Engineer's Report and adopt a Resolution of Intention 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 23, 2026.
• Adopt a Resolution confirming the assessment, which constitutes the levy of the
assessments for the 2026-27 fiscal year.
To be scheduled for June 23, 2026.
Upon fulfillment of these requirements, City staff must submit the assessments to the
County of San Luis Obispo for inclusion on the FY 2026-27 property tax roll.
ALTERNATIVES:
The following alternatives are provided for the Council's consideration:
Approve staff recommendations;
Request changes or clarification to the Engineers' Reports and/or Resolutions and
approve as modified; or
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:
Property owners within each district share in the cost of district maintenance and
services through assessments.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Class 2 exemption: Replacement or reconstruction. The Consideration of Engineer's
Reports and Resolutions Declaring the City's Intention to Levy and Collect 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 s ite as the
structure replaced and will have substantially the same purpose and capacity as the
Page 86 of 466
Item 9.f.

Page 6
structure replaced. (State CEQA Guidelines,§ 15302.). Alternatively, the proposed action
is not a project, and is exempt from review under CEQA, because 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)).
PUBLIC NOTIFICATION AND COMMENTS:
The Agenda was posted at City Hall and on the City's website in accordance with
Government Code Section 54954.2.

INTRODUCTION ENGINEER’S REPORT
CITY OF ARROYO GRANDE
PARKSIDE VILLAGE ASSESSMENT DISTRICT
FISCAL YEAR 2026-27
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 2026-27,
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 23, 2026, 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 2026-27 tax roll.
