Page 10 <br /> Additionally, Assembly Bill 1572, which was passed by the State Assembly on <br /> October 13, 2023, and relates to water use on lawns within the district, requires <br /> that no irrigation be used on nonfunctional turf areas prior to January 1, 2028.The <br /> district has two areas that are considered "nonfunctional turf" by the bill that will <br /> need to be removed and replaced, one along Bernal Avenue and the other just on <br /> the other side of the entry wall on Tapestry Way. Depending on the level of <br /> improvements, the turf conversion could cost a minimum of $25,000 to shut off <br /> the water, mulch the area, and adjust irrigation for the trees and up to$175,00 for <br /> a complete landscape and irrigation renovation, and will require a loan or increase <br /> to assessments in 2027 to cover the costs. <br /> The landscape will continue to decline below the necessary maintenance <br /> standards of the district established by Ordinance 2458.This may place the district <br /> at risk of fines or litigation. To limit liability for the district, it will be necessary for <br /> the city to continue to pursue a permanent solution, such as the HOA taking over <br /> maintenance or a proposition 218-compliant vote, incurring significant consultant <br /> costs, until a sustainable assessment has been agreed to by property owners. <br /> If additional funding from a new or increased assessment is not implemented, the <br /> City will be forced to continue to reduce maintenance and postpone facilities <br /> upgrades, resulting in a continuing deterioration of the grounds and facilities. <br /> For 2025-26 costs/revenues, see Figure 3—FY 2025-26 Actual Costs and Revenues. <br /> Engineer's Report and Continuation of Assessments <br /> Each year for which the assessments will be continued,the City Council must direct <br /> the preparation of an Engineer's Report, budgets and proposed assessments for <br /> the upcoming fiscal year. After the Engineer's Report is completed,the City Council <br /> may preliminarily approve the Engineer's Report and proposed assessments, and <br /> establish the date for a public hearing on the continuation of the assessments. <br /> This Report was prepared pursuant to the direction of the City Council. <br /> City of Pleasanton <br /> Landscape Maintenance District No. 1993-1, Windsor SCIConsultingGroup <br /> Engineer's Report <br />
