The purpose of these Districts is to provide funding for the installation, maintenance and servicing of local landscaping and lighting improvements ("Improvements") within each District's service area. Landscape Maintenance District No. 1994-1, Oak Tree Farm Assessment Background The Oak Tree Farm Landscape Maintenance District No. 1994-1 ("District 1994-1" or "Maintenance District") was formed in September of 1994 as a Condition of Approval for the Oak Tree Farm Phase I development to fund certain landscape improvements in the Oak Tree Farm subdivision's 25 parcels. In July 1999 the Oak Tree Farm Phase II was annexed into the Oak Tree Farm Landscape Maintenance District No. 1994-1, adding an additional 16 parcels. The total number of parcels served by District 1994-1 since then to present time is 42 (25+16+1 City -owned sewer lift station parcel). The Oak Tree Farm Landscape Maintenance District No. 1994-1 purpose is to fund the maintenance of the existing Oak Tree Farm subdivision open space areas, entry features, decorative lighting, firebreaks, trees, shrubbery, groundcover and irrigation systems. District 1994-1 is funded by the benefit assessment approved in 1994 ("Assessment"), and it does not receive any direct revenues from property taxes or any other funding sources. Based on research of the historical documents and in consultation with their consultant, SCI Consulting Group, and an attorney that specializes in assessment law, JarvisFay, the fiscal year 2025-26 assessments for District 1994-1 can be restored to the amount approved by the formation documents for the Oak Tree Farm LIVID, as recorded with Resolution 94-110, an amount of up to $1,000 with an inflation escalator based on the Consumer Price Index for the year. Under Proposition 218, a property owner vote is only required when these assessments are increased, and an assessment is not increased if it is set at an amount that is no more than the maximum amount initially authorized when the assessment district was created. (Cal. Const. Art. XIII D, § 5(b); Gov. Code § 53750(h)(2)(B).) However, as a first step to a more sustainable assessment level, staff is only restoring the assessments as approved by Resolution 94-110 and implemented with Resolution 98-076, an amount of $617.41 per parcel per year. Further step increases will be proposed in subsequent years until a sustainable assessment amount is reached. With a total of 42 parcels in the district (including one public parcel), the fiscal year 2025-26 total assessment will be $26,361.72.
