SUBJECT: LIGHTING AND LANDSCAPING DISTRICT,
ASSESSMENT DISTRICT 121, FISCAL YEAR 2010/2011
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council adopt:
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOWNEY CONFIRMING
LIGHTING AND LANDSCAPING ASSESSMENT DISTRICT 121 FOR FISCAL YEAR
2010/2011
DISCUSSION:
On April 27, 2010, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 10-7185 approving the
Engineer’s Report for Lighting and Landscaping Assessment District 121 (A.D. 121),
and also adopted Resolution No. 10-7186 declaring its intention to levy and collect
lighting and landscaping assessments within A.D. 121 for Fiscal Year 2010/2011,
pursuant to the provisions of the Lighting and Landscaping Act of 1972 (Act), as
described in Part 2 of Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code. Notice
of the date, time, and location of the public hearing to confirm A.D. 121 was also given
within Resolution No. 10-7186.
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 Act, as well as revenues from general property taxes.Assessments are listed
upon 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 based on a SCE Group Rate that is comprised of an “LS” rate
schedule for street lights that includes the LS-1 rate for SCE-owned lighting and LS-2
and LS-3 rates for City owned lights. The SCE OL-1 rate is for non-highway area
lighting and the TC-1 rate applies to traffic control signals and corresponding
intersection lighting. SCE has provided the City with anticipated rate changes for FY
2010/2011. This information is presented 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 lights associated with
the Lakewood Boulevard Improvements Project between Fifth Streetand Florence
Avenue,the Imperial Highway Phase 2 Project, plus minor development projects, will
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
maximum 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 have 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 and shrubs planted as part of recent widening,
median, and sidewalk projects on major streets (e.g. Lakewood Boulevard, Imperial
Highway, Congressman Steve Horn Way, Ardis Avenue, etc.) landscape maintenance
costs continue 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 Act, the City collects assessments for lighting improvements and
maintenance, traffic signal maintenance, and landscaping maintenance 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 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. None of the proposed collections will exceed the
maximum assessment rates.

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.

ESTIMATED ASSESSMENT
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.

ZONE IV - PETITION INSTALLATION
SAMPLE PER PETITION AREA
Direct assessments in Zone IV are limited to street light installations only. The
installation costs are divided evenly among the parcels within the annexed area. Each
annexed area is assessed separately with costs divided equally among the parcels in
the annexed area.
Example*
Edison cost for one street light served overhead: $ 1,920
City engineering design and overhead cost: $ 650
Total To Install: $2,570
Cost per lot (one light serves four lots): $ 2,570 / 4 = $ 643
Yearly cost per lot (cost repaid in four years): $ 643 / 4 = $ 161
*Note: Costs must be determined on a case by case basis and will vary depending on
distance from power source, whether power feed is overhead or underground,
the number of lights installed and the number of parcels in the annexed area.
