8 <br /> <br />City of Pleasanton <br />Landscape Maintenance District No. 1995-1, Moller Ranch Engineer’s Report, Fiscal Year 2025-26 <br />Landscape plans and specifications for the improvements to this Landscape <br />Maintenance District are those prepared by Greiner, Inc., dated December 1994. These <br />plans and specifications have been filed separately with the Clerk of the Legislative <br />body and are incorporated in this report by reference. <br /> <br />Recommended Capital Improvements <br />Some of the Improvements such as complete irrigation, plant replacement, lighting <br />repair and fencing replacement in the Landscape Maintenance District No. 1995-1, <br />Moller Ranch, are overdue, however the reserve fund balance is insufficient to complete <br />these improvements. <br />Portions of the irrigation system have been turned off due to numerous breaks and the <br />irrigation system needs to be replaced. The sections turned off are to existing <br />established plants that can tolerate minimal water, but a lack of water can have long <br />term impacts to the health of the plants, increasing maintenance costs and liability in the <br />future. <br />The City drafted a schedule of recommended capital improvement projects that need to <br />be addressed, such as the replacement of the irrigation system , entry lighting <br />improvements, and the lawn conversion, and their respective estimated cost, as well as <br />a planned replacement/renovation schedule. To fund the necessary capital <br />improvements and maintain the District to a similar level to when the District was <br />created staff estimates that the annual assessments would need to be increased from <br />$560.53 to $900-1,000 depending on maintenance level with over $1 million worth of <br />improvements necessary, including the turf conversion mandate, in the next decade if <br />the city was to restore the landscape to be more in line with the approved development . <br />The City has begun discussions with the HOA and consultant to develop the level of <br />maintenance and recommended capital improvements in 2025-26 to create a <br />comprehensive maintenance and improvement plan and associated costs. <br />
