; and
3. Set a public hearing for June 8, 2010, to consider setting assessments for street
lighting and landscaping operations and maintenance.
DISCUSSION:
There are currently 6,138 street lights in the City of Downey which provide illumination
for traffic and pedestrian safety. Of the total, 1,468 street lights are owned by the City of
Downey, 57 are owned by the State, 33 are shared with other cities, and 4,580 are
owned by the Southern California Edison Company (SCE). Similarly, the City has a
total of 109 traffic signals, including 11 that are operated by Caltrans and 13 that are
shared with adjoining agencies. The cost for maintaining and servicing the street lights
and traffic signals is paid from a combination of assessments on individual parcels
under the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 (Act), as well as revenues from general
property taxes. Assessments appear on the County property tax bills.
Funding for on-street landscaping maintenance is also paid from direct assessments
under the same Act. This assessment provides funds for tree trimming, tree removals
and other landscaping maintenance along the parkways and medians of public streets
in the City of Downey.
During the 2010/11 fiscal year a total of seventeen residential and commercial
properties will be added to the District in conjunction with development projects. This
includes fifty-one acres of commercial property, thus further expanding Zone ll by 6.8%.

ELECTRICITY RATES:
Energy costs are a combination of SCE and Department of Water Resources (DWR)
charges. SCE utilizes an “LS” rate schedule for street lights, with rates for SCE-owned
lighting (LS-1) higher than for City-owned equipment (LS-2 & LS-3). The SCE “OL-1”
rate is for non-highway area lighting, whereas the “TC-1” rate schedule applies to traffic
control signals and corresponding intersection lighting. SCE has provided the City with
anticipated rate changes for FY 2010/2011, summarized below in Table 2.

OPERATING & MAINTENANCE COSTS:
As indicated in Table 3, the estimated cost for operating and maintaining the street
lighting and landscaping in all seven zones for FY 2010/2011 is $1,749,850, a $81,730
increase over the FY 2009/2010 budget estimate of $1,668,120. During FY 2010/2011,
the installation of approximately 220 new street and pedestrian lighting associated with
the Lakewood Boulevard Improvements Project between Fifth Streetand Florence
Avenue,the Imperial Highway Project, plus minor development projects, will likely
increase electrical and maintenance costs for Zones I and II. Current and anticipated
SCE energy rates are incorporated into the FY 2010/2011 cost estimates for all lighting
zones. Table 3 also provides historical expenses by zone.

ASSESSMENT RATES:
The assessment rates can be adjusted up or down on an annual basis as long as the
rates do not exceed the maximum established rates. The adjustments are made to
ensure adequate funding to cover anticipated costs.
Since FY 2000-2001, a number of assessment rate increases and decreases have been
made. A history of the rates since FY 2000-2001, as well as the proposed rates and the
full assessments for the seven zones are presented in Table 4.
Costs to operate and maintain the District will increase for FY 2010/2011. With funds
from additional sources (general property taxes and interest income) and additional
properties joining the District, adequate fund reserves can be maintained for Zones I, III,
V, and Vl (see Table 5) without increasing current assessment rate levels (see Table 4).
For residential Zone I, general property taxes allocated to this zone currently exceed
annual expenditures; therefore the assessment rates can remain at zero while a funding
reserve is maintained.
The commercial properties contributing to Zone II has been increased significantly, with
one hundred fifty-one acres of commercial properties added during the last ten fiscal
years (rates are linked to parcel square footages). This allows the City to maintain an
adequate funding reserve without increasing the lower rate established the previous
year.
For Zone L, with hundreds of trees planted as part of recent widening, median, and
sidewalk projects on major streets (Lakewood Boulevard, Imperial Highway, Downey
Avenue, Paramount Boulevard, etc.) landscape maintenance costs are continuing to
increase. As of June 30, 2010 a negative balance of $381,164 is anticipated (see Table
5). At this time, both residential and commercial properties are charged the maximum
set rate. FY 2010/2011 costs for trimming, removal, installation of trees and landscape
maintenance within the public right-of-way will leave this fund with a negative balance of
$470,000. Therefore, to restore the Zone L reserve in the future, the maximum set rate
assessment and/or the property tax allocation to this zone would need to increase.
A more detailed summary of the funding breakdown, operational cost, and fund
balances is provided in the Engineer’s Report.

SETTING ASSESSMENT RATES:
Pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, the City collects assessments for
lighting improvements and maintenance, traffic signal maintenance, and landscaping
maintenance of public trees on City streets and right-of-ways. Direct assessments are
distributed based on the special benefit each property receives. Since streets provide
vehicular and pedestrian access to properties, the special benefit is apportioned based
on the amount of these trips generated by each parcel.
The California Streets and Highways Code requires the City Council to adopt
resolutions and hold a public hearing each year to set the assessment rates for the
various zones within the Lighting and Landscaping District for the ensuing year. From
these rates, assessments are calculated and levied against the properties in the District.
The City coordinates with the Los Angeles County Auditor-Controller’s Office to include
applicable assessments and adjustments on property tax bills.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
To pay for the FY 2010/2011 expenses, it is estimated that the District will use $692,200
in general property tax funds designated specifically for street-light maintenance,
$30,000 in interest earned from reserves in the Street Lighting Fund, and $1,031,192
from the direct assessments. Table 5 provides a summary of the funding sources,
estimated costs and year end balance for FY 2009/2010 and the projected costs and
funding sources for FY 2010/2011.
Although other sources of revenue will continue to be used to pay for expenditures in
the District, none of the proposed collections will exceed the maximum assessment
rates.

INTRODUCTION:
This Engineer’s Report for the Lighting and Landscaping District, Assessment District
121 (A.D. 121) is prepared for filing in accordance with Division 15, Part 2, Chapter 3 of
the California Streets and Highways Code, as amended by 1992 legislation (S.B. 1977)
and California Proposition 218.
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this report is to identify the nature, location, and extent of street lighting
and landscaping improvements and maintenance to be considered. Estimated costs
and proposed apportionment to accomplish the levy of annual street lighting and
landscaping assessments are given for Fiscal Year 2010/2011.
LIGHTING & LANDSCAPE IMPROVEMENTS AND MAINTENANCE:
Pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, the City collects assessments for
lighting and landscaping improvements and maintenance. The design of traffic signal
equipment is pursuant to applicable State of California and Los Angeles County
Standard Plans and Specifications. The plans and specifications used to design the
street lighting equipment are pursuant to the Illuminating Engineering Society for street
lighting.
DIAGRAM OF DISTRICT:
Plan No. A.D. 121-B (Plan) of A.D. 121 is on file in the office of the City Clerk showing
the exterior boundary of the District and the boundaries of each zone within the District.
By reference, said Plan is made part of this Report. The lines and dimensions of each
parcel of land within the District are shown in the County Assessor's Maps on file at the
Downey City Hall. Each parcel is designated by its corresponding book, page, and
parcel number as shown in the Los Angeles County Assessor's maps and data rolls. All
properties in Zone III are also in Zone L. Properties to be added to the District

ESTIMATED ASSESSMENT
ZONE I - RESIDENTIAL
$0.00 TO BE ASSESSED
Direct assessments in Zone I are distributed based on the special benefit each property
receives. Streets within this zone have been improved with mid-block lighting. Since
streets provide vehicular and pedestrian access to properties, the special benefit is
apportioned based on the amount of these trips generated by each parcel. The Institute
of Transportation Engineers has established a standard of trip generation that states
that multiple dwelling units generate less pedestrian and vehicle trips than single family
homes. Therefore, parcels with denser housing are assessed at a lesser rate per
dwelling unit in general proportion to the trips generated. This basis provides an
equitable relationship to the benefit received.

ZONE II - INDUSTRIAL / COMMERCIAL
$41,429 TO BE ASSESSED
Direct assessments in Zone II are distributed based on the special benefit each property
receives. Streets within this zone have been improved with mid-block lighting. Since
streets provide vehicular and pedestrian access to commercial properties, the special
benefit is apportioned based on the amount of these trips generated by each parcel.
The Institute of Transportation Engineers has established a standard of trip generation
that states that pedestrian and vehicle trips increase as the square footage of the land
use increases. In general, larger parcels generate more trips. Therefore, every parcel
in this zone is assessed according the land square footage of the parcel. This basis
provides an equitable relationship to the benefit received.

ZONE III - SAFETY LIGHTS AND TRAFFIC SIGNALS
$702,118 TO BE ASSESSED
Direct assessments in this zone are separated according to the proportion of residential
and commercial properties in the City. Since streets provide vehicular and pedestrian
access to properties, the special benefit is apportioned based on the amount of these
trips generated by each parcel. Given that residential and commercial properties
generate different levels of street use, the assessment rates are calculated separately.
Approximately 80% of the City is zoned Residential, while the remaining 20% is
comprised of Commercial, Industrial, or other.
RESIDENTIAL (80%) - $540,582 TO BE ASSESSED
Direct assessments in Zone III-Residential are distributed based on the special benefit
each property receives. Parcels are assessed similar to Zone I.
