As the assessments are levied on the basis of benefit, they are not a tax, and therefore, are not governed by Article XIIIA of the California Constitution. As a result of the passage of Proposition 218 by voters on November 5,1996, Articles XIIIC and XIIID have been added to the California Constitution. The new procedural and approval process outlined in these Articles applies to new assessment districts and increased assessments. In addition, properties owned by public agencies, such as a city, county, state or the federal government, must now be assessed by law unless it can be demonstrated that they receive no special benefit. Specifically, the assessment methodology for the Citywide Park Maintenance Assessment District will have to: Demonstrate special benefit to assessed parcels over and above the benefits conferred on the public at large: Special benefit means a particular and distinct benefit over and above general benefits conferred on real property located in the district or to the public at large. General enhancement of property value does not constitute special benefit'." * Separate the general benefits from the special benefits conferred to parcels: Only special benefits are assessable, and an agency must separate the general benefits from the special benefits conferred on a parcel." * Determine the special benefit that should be attributed to public agency parcels within the new District boundary: Parcels within a district that are owned or used by any agency, the State of California or the United States shall not be exempt from assessment unless the agency can demonstrate by clear and convincing evidence that such publicly owned parcels in fact receive no special benefit." 5 BIB] 37175-U01 RESO-U02 98-33-U02 MAY-U02 6-U02 1998-U02 LG1-U03 LI3-U03 FO1126-U03 FO1153-U03 FO1927-U03 DO1931-U03 C6-U03 RESO-U03 10/10/2001-U04 ADMIN-U04 RESO-U05 98-33-U05 MAY-U05 6-U05 1998-U05 BIB] 37426-U01 1998-U02 033-U02 CC-U02 RESO-U02 LG1-U03 LI3-U03 FO1126-U03 FO1153-U03 DO1931-U03 C6-U03 RESO-U03 10/10/2001-U04 ADMIN-U04 CITY-U05 COUNCIL-U05 MINUTES-U05 1998 033 CC RESO¹òw @˜‘t RESO 98-33 MAY 6 1998YH3 8 IMPROVEMENTS The items that may be funded through the new District are defined in the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 the Act) as Improvements. The Act defines Improvements to include the installation, maintenance and servicing of several types of landscaping and park and recreational improvements and facilities as shown below. However, the new District can only assess for the special benefit that can be shown to be conferred from these improvements to the properties in the District. Installation 9 The installation or planting of landscaping. * The installation or construction of statuary, fountains and other ornamental structures and facilities. * The installation or construction of any facilities which are appurtenant to any of the foregoing or which are necessary or convenient for the maintenance or servicing thereof, including, but not limited to, grading, clearing, removal of debris, the installation or construction of curbs, gutters, walls, sidewalks, or paving, or water, irrigation, drainage, or electrical facilities. * The installation of park or recreational improvements, including, but not limited to, land preparation, such as grading, leveling, cutting and filling, sod, landscaping, irrigation systems, sidewalks and drainage; lights, playground equipment, play courts and public restrooms. * The acquisition of land for park, recreational or open-space purposes. * The acquisition of any existing improvement otherwise authorized. Maintenance Maintenance means the furnishing of services and materials for the ordinary and usual maintenance, operation and servicing of any improvement, including: * Repair, removal or replacement of all or any part of any improvement. * Providing for the life, growth, health and beauty of landscaping, including cultivation, irrigation, trimming, spraying, fertilizing or treating for disease or injury. * The removal of trimmings, rubbish, debris and other solid waste. * The cleaning, sandblasting and painting of walls and other improvements to remove or cover graffiti. Servicing Servicing means the furnishing of electric current, or energy, or other illuminating agent and water for the irrigation of any landscaping, the operation of any fountains, or the maintenance of any improvements. 6 BIB] 37175-U01 RESO-U02 98-33-U02 MAY-U02 6-U02 1998-U02 LG1-U03 LI3-U03 FO1126-U03 FO1153-U03 FO1927-U03 DO1931-U03 C6-U03 RESO-U03 10/10/2001-U04 ADMIN-U04 RESO-U05 98-33-U05 MAY-U05 6-U05 1998-U05 BIB] 37426-U01 1998-U02 033-U02 CC-U02 RESO-U02 LG1-U03 LI3-U03 FO1126-U03 FO1153-U03 DO1931-U03 C6-U03 RESO-U03 10/10/2001-U04 ADMIN-U04 CITY-U05 COUNCIL-U05 MINUTES-U05 1998 033 CC RESO¹òw @˜‘t RESO 98-33 MAY 6 1998YH3 8 LAND USE DEFINITIONS The District assessment is based on land use such that property owners are assessed in proportion to the benefits received. The land uses defined below are descriptive of all parcels expected to exist in the City of Baldwin Park in FY 1998-99 In the event there is a question regarding the land use designation of any parcel in the District, the City Engineer will be responsible for administratively assigning one of the land uses listed below.

The Articles provide that only special benefits are assessable. The general benefits must be separated from the special benefits conferred on a parcel, a special benefit being a particular and distinct benefit over and above general benefits conferred on the public at large, including real property within the district. The general enhancement of property value does not constitute a special benefit. The Open Space Element within the General Plan for the City of Baldwin Park notes that the City is almost completely built out, and open space is limited to existing parks, school grounds, utility rights-of-way, and water channel areas. Within the City, over 530 acres of these properties are designated as open space. Baldwin Park offers five City parks and 7 BIB] 37175-U01 RESO-U02 98-33-U02 MAY-U02 6-U02 1998-U02 LG1-U03 LI3-U03 FO1126-U03 FO1153-U03 FO1927-U03 DO1931-U03 C6-U03 RESO-U03 10/10/2001-U04 ADMIN-U04 RESO-U05 98-33-U05 MAY-U05 6-U05 1998-U05 BIB] 37426-U01 1998-U02 033-U02 CC-U02 RESO-U02 LG1-U03 LI3-U03 FO1126-U03 FO1153-U03 DO1931-U03 C6-U03 RESO-U03 10/10/2001-U04 ADMIN-U04 CITY-U05 COUNCIL-U05 MINUTES-U05 1998 033 CC RESO¹òw @˜‘tRESO 98-33 MAY 6 1998YH38seventeen school playgrounds for recreation. Morgan Park recently underwent a 2.5 acre expansion, where a new Community Center has been built, in addition to the Activities Building containing meeting rooms, cooking facilities and a game room, and the Senior Citizens Center containing meeting rooms. Morgan Park offers the most activities of any recreation area in the City, including boxing, horseshoes, basketball and volleyball. Morgan Park is centrally located, with the other City parks located south and west near the City's periphery. The area north of Los Angeles Street contains six elementary school sites, but no parks. About 60 percent of Baldwin Park's City park area is located south of Ramona Boulevard. Baldwin Park's recreation facilities and parks are vital to the community, especially for the high-density residential developments which do not provide adequate play areas for their residents. Upon full build-out, it is expected that the City will have a ratio of 3 acres of parks, including school areas, for each 1,000 residents. This ratio is well within the National Recreation and Parks Association recommended standard of 2.5 acres per 1,000 residents. The majority of the City's park land is under the control of the Baldwin Park Unified School District, with the City controlling 10 percent of the total park land. Parks and recreational activities are managed by the City of Baldwin Park through a division of the City organization. As such, all parks administration and planning are centralized while recreational activities are conducted on a community-wide basis to take advantage of existing park facilities. This approach promotes the parks as a system or network to be used on a City-wide basis, rather than on a service radius basis which may be more common in other jurisdictions. All of the parks and recreational facilities are equally accessible to all the properties in the District. The maintenance of parks and recreational improvements provide a particular and distinct special benefit to parcels within the District. The desirability of parcels within the District is specifically enhanced by the presence of well-maintained parks and recreational facilities which are available for the use and enjoyment of residents, customers, clients, employees and visitors of the assessed parcels. Having properly maintained parks readily accessible to properties within the District means that the owners and visitors of the assessed parcels may enjoy the benefits of such improvements available for use while avoiding the expense of privately installing and maintaining similar improvements. Only the parks summarized in this Report are funded through the District. The other open space areas that contribute to the open space element of the City, are funded separately. The location of all the parks in the District were found to be within 1 314 miles of at least one park, and 3/4 mile of at least one recreational facility in the District. Although some properties in the District are within 3/4 mile of more than one park, it was determined that residents cannot use the facilities of more than one park at one time, so the assessment rates are established at a uniform level throughout the District. 8 BIB] 37175-U01 RESO-U02 98-33-U02 MAY-U02 6-U02 1998-U02 LG1-U03 LI3-U03 FO1126-U03 FO1153-U03 FO1927-U03 DO1931-U03 C6-U03 RESO-U03 10/10/2001-U04 ADMIN-U04 RESO-U05 98-33-U05 MAY-U05 6-U05 1998-U05 BIB] 37426-U01 1998-U02 033-U02 CC-U02 RESO-U02 LG1-U03 LI3-U03 FO1126-U03 FO1153-U03 DO1931-U03 C6-U03 RESO-U03 10/10/2001-U04 ADMIN-U04 CITY-U05 COUNCIL-U05 MINUTES-U05 1998 033 CC RESO¹òw @˜‘t 1998 033 CC RESO¹òw @˜‘t RESO 98-33 MAY 6 1998YH3 8would indicate a higher than average special benefit from the funded park improvements. In addition, in higher density areas such as the District, the value of the open spaces afforded by parks is at a particular premium. However, parks and recreational facilities are an important part of any thriving community. The general benefit arising from the park and recreational improvements can be measured by examining the usage of the facilities by the public at large. Each park has been examined to determine the average number of registrations received by the Recreation and Community Services Department for individuals or teams from outside of the District boundaries. The percentage of out-of-district registrations to total registrations is used to determine that portion of the park budget related to general versus special benefit. City staff has determined that out-of-District registrations equal approximately 15 percent of all registrations. Thus, 15 percent of the assessment budget will be assigned as general benefit. In addition, the City has elected to contribute an additional amount over and above the 15 percent level in order to maintain assessments at approximately the same amount as in prior years. FORMULA The formula recognizes that properties have different levels of benefit depending upon the typical population associated with the type of land use. The formula takes these differences into consideration and fairly distributes the special benefit among all residential parcels and lots within the District. Each of the special benefits identified above in Special Benefit of Parks" are considered to benefit each parcel in proportion to the typical population associated with the parcel's land use as reported by the City of Baldwin Park Planning Division. In order to establish the proportionate share of benefit from any one parcel of land in relation to the total benefit to the District, it is necessary to establish a benchmark to relate that one parcel to all others. This benchmark is called the Equivalent Dwelling Unit. The District uses a single family residence as the benchmark Equivalent Dwelling Unit. All other land uses, as represented on the County Assessor's master property file, will be compared to the benchmark of the Single Family Residence to gain a comparative Equivalent Dwelling Unit EDU") based on population data as found in the 1990 Census Data for Baldwin Park, as provided by the City of Baldwin Park's Planning Division. Following is a discussion of EDU values for each type of land use within the Assessment District. The EDU values for condominiums, multi-family and mobile homes are based upon a comparison of the average population per household for single-family residences versus the average household population in condominiums, multi-family and mobile homes. The calculation of each EDU value is shown below: 10 BIB] 37175-U01 RESO-U02 98-33-U02 MAY-U02 6-U02 1998-U02 LG1-U03 LI3-U03 FO1126-U03 FO1153-U03 FO1927-U03 DO1931-U03 C6-U03 RESO-U03 10/10/2001-U04 ADMIN-U04 RESO-U05 98-33-U05 MAY-U05 6-U05 1998-U05 BIB] 37426-U01 1998-U02 033-U02 CC-U02 RESO-U02 LG1-U03 LI3-U03 FO1126-U03 FO1153-U03 DO1931-U03 C6-U03 RESO-U03 10/10/2001-U04 ADMIN-U04 CITY-U05 COUNCIL-U05 MINUTES-U05 1998 033 CC RESO¹òw @˜‘tRESO 98-33 MAY 6 1998YH38For Single Family Residential: Single family population per household 4.06 1.00 EDU's/unit Single family population per household 4.06 For Condominium Residential: Condo population per household 3.75 0.92 EDU's/unit Single family population per household 4.06 For Multi-Family Residential: Multi-family population per household 4.25 1.04 EDU's/unit Single family population per household 4.06 For Mobile Home Residential: Mobile Home population per household 2.03 0.50 EDU's/unit Single family population per household 4.06 The EDU values for commercial, office, business and industrial land uses non- residential") are based on a comparison of the typical single family lot acreage versus the actual size of the non-residential use. Special benefit to non-residential parcels results from the use of recreational facilities by employees and customers, which generally increases in number as the parcel size increases. Therefore, the assessment on non- residential property is based on acres, as opposed to residential parcels which are based on dwelling units. Within the District, the typical single-family parcel size is 8,500 square feet. Approximately 20 percent of each acre of residential land, on average, is dedicated for streets and other public uses resulting in a net acreage available for the subdivision of approximately 4.10 lots per acre, which is rounded down to 4 lots per acre. Therefore, using the single family residence as a base, an acre of non-residential property receives the same number of EDU's as an acre of residential property, that is, 4 EDU per acre.

Non-residential parcels below one-half acre are assigned 50 percent of 4.0 EDU's, or 2.0 EDU's per parcel.

This per parcel assessment rather than per acre assessment is in recognition of this land use category's traditionally lower demand for park facilities as indicated by the City's Recreation and Community Services staff. In addition, institutional parcels receive less benefit than other non-residential parcels in the District from the operation, maintenance and servicing of parks in the City for several reasons. Institutional parcels function differently than non-residential parcels in that they: 1) typically operate fewer days in the week, 2) generally have an inconsistent number of people using the facilities daily, and 3) have a less intensive use than the property size alone would indicate because in general, the institutional parcels in the District contain large green areas that function as open space. Therefore, the institutional parcels should be assessed at a lower level than the non-residential parcels, and are assigned 1 EDU per parcel. As a result of the passage of Proposition 218, the assessment methodology for the new Park Maintenance Assessment District has to determine the special benefit attributable to public agency parcels within the new District boundary. Section 4 of the Proposition states, Parcels within a district that are owned or used by any agency, the State of California or the United States shall not be exempt from assessment unless the agency can demonstrate by clear and convincing evidence that such publicly owned parcels in fact receive no special benefit.,' In comparison to non-residential and institutional parcels, governmental properties also benefit from the proper maintenance of parks, since such parks attract potential customers and employees as shown below. Certain governmental parcels benefit from the District because the proper maintenance, operation and servicing of parks: * reduces property-related crimes against properties within the District, especially vandalism, through the abatement of graffiti; * improves the aesthetics of public parcels through the proper maintenance of landscaping and the planting of otherwise barren areas; * reduces pollution and noise in surrounding areas throughout the provision of open space; and * by improving the physical and visual environment and making the District area a more desirable and attractive place to work and do business.

However, governmental parcels receive less benefit than other non-residential parcels in the District from the operation, maintenance and servicing of parks in the City. For instance, a portion of most public properties are used as park and/or recreation areas. This portion of these properties does not benefit from the District improvements because it provides the same use and function that the funded improvements provide. Additionally, governmental properties generally do not benefit from the resale value of their properties. Consequently, the specific benefit of increased property value that is conferred to other properties in the District is not conferred to governmental properties. Therefore, the governmental parcels are assessed at one quarter the rate of non-residential uses, but as the size of the parcel increases, the benefit increases, and therefore, the assessment amount increases. The special benefit to undeveloped property in the residential, non-residential and institutional land use categories is based on the assumption that such undeveloped property benefits from the ongoing maintenance of recreational facilities because the facilities will be in good and ready condition in the future when the vacant property is developed. For the purposes of this Engineer's Report, the special benefit to undeveloped property is assigned a value corresponding to 40 percent of the developed property EDU values for the same land use designations. This discounted value recognizes the reduced current value due to the uninhabited nature of the property. Finally, parcels of raw land and homeowner's association common area are assigned an EDU value of zero 0), based on a projection that these parcels are likely never to develop and therefore will receive no benefit from the improvements. Similarly, railroad rig right-of-way parcels, public utility right-of-way and well site or reservoir site parcels, water rights parcels, and other similar land uses are also assigned an EDU value of 0, because of little or no possibility for residential or non-residential or institutional development and therefore no benefit.

Proper maintenance of landscaping reduces pollution and noise, provides for open space and the planting of otherwise barren areas, and reduces property-related crimes within the District, especially vandalism, through the removal and abatement of graffiti. The U.S. Department of the Interior, National Parks Service, in a publication of June 1984, concluded that, An investment in parks and recreation helps reduce pollution and noise, makes communities more livable, and increases property value." All of the above benefits contribute to a specific enhancement of the quality of life and property values related to each of the assessable parcels within the District. In addition, the operation and maintenance of the City's parks confers a particular and distinct special benefit upon assessed parcels within the District, as follows. * The proper maintenance of parks and appurtenant facilities specially benefits parcels within the District by improving the physical and visual environment and making the District area more desirable. * Parcels within the District are specially benefitted when public infrastructure including parks are in place, safe, clean and well-maintained. * The proper maintenance of parks by the District provides increased District- wide attractiveness to prospective buyers. * The desirability of parcels within the District is specifically enhanced by the presence of well-maintained parks which are available for the use and enjoyment of the property owners and the visitors of the assessed parcels. * Having properly maintained parks readily accessible to properties within the District means that the owners and visitors of the assessed parcels may enjoy the benefits of such improvements available for use while avoiding the expense of privately installing and maintaining similar improvements. * The proper maintenance of landscaped parks provides increased attractiveness of the District as a place to live, work and do business. * Spraying and treating of landscaping for disease and weed control reduces the likelihood of insect or weed infestation spreading to the landscaping located on properties within the District. GENERAL BENEFIT OF PARKS In addition to the special benefits received by the parcels in the District, there are general benefits conferred on the public at large by the maintenance, operation and servicing of park and recreational facilities. Census data and socio-economic characteristics for the City of Baldwin Park would generally indicate a higher than average park usage by local residents.
