2 • 1995-1 Moller Ranch — 101 parcels The five District's benefit assessments were established prior to the approval of Proposition 218 in 1996. 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. 1993-2, Bonde Ranch Assessment Background The Bonde Ranch Landscape Maintenance District No. 1993-2 ("District 1993-2" or "Maintenance District") was formed in 1993 as a Condition of Approval for the Bonde Ranch development, to fund certain landscape improvements within the Bonde Ranch subdivision. The subdivision includes 102 single-family residence parcels and 1 parcel owned by the City that has a water tank. The total number of parcels served by District 1993-2 at present time is 103 parcels. The Bonde Ranch Landscape Maintenance District No. 1993-2 purpose is to fund the maintenance of the existing Bonde Ranch designated landscaped areas, open space slopes, fuel transition zones (fire breaks), entry features, open space drainage ditches, irrigation systems, trees in the open space and designated landscaped areas, groundcover and irrigation systems. District 1993-2 is funded by the benefit assessment approved in 1993 ("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 Based on research of the historical documents and in consultation with their consultant, SCI Consulting Group, and an attorney that specializes in assessment law, JarvisFay, the assessments for District 1993-2 were restored last year to the amount approved by Resolution 97-83, $389.56 per parcel per year, which was the first assessment following the implementation of Proposition 218. 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).) With a total of 103 parcels in the district (including one public parcel), the fiscal year 2026-27 total assessment will be the same as last year at $40,799.92. The assessment revenues were lowered in 1999 and 2000 and remained the same from 2000 to 20225, when they were restored to 1998 levels. Even with the restoration of the assessment amounts, funding will still be insufficient for the maintenance of all common areas, including water costs, county assessment fees, city administration fees, replacement of plantings, irrigation systems, fencing, and other district improvements. An increase in the annual assessment will be necessary to meet the maintenance standards of the District into the future.
