Engineer's Annual Report Fiscal Year 2021/2022 Introduction I The City of Downey (the "City"), under the provisions of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 197 Part 2 of Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code (the " 1972 Act") annually levie and collects special assessments for the City's assessment district designated as: -1 Lighting and Landscaping Assessment District No. 121 (the "District") in order to provide and maintain various lighting and landscaping improvements throughout the City that provide special benefits to properties within the City. The District boundary is coterminous with the boundary of the City of Downey and in accordance with the 1972 Act, the District utilizes benefit zones ("Zones") to address variations in the nature, location, and extent of the improvements that provide special benefits to parcels in the District. Within the boundaries of the District, parcels are assigned to various Zones each of which is associated with a set of improvements and/or type of improvements that provide special bene& to properties within that Zone. In fiscal year 2020/2021, the District was comprised of the following Zones: Zone 1: Residential Street Lighting Account 23-4-5511; )II;, Zone Il: Commercial Street Lighting Account 23-4-5512; )I;, Zone III: Safety Lighting and Traffic Signals Account 23-4-5513; Zone IV: Petition Street Light Installations Account 23-4-5514; Zone V: Regional Shopping Center Street Lighting Account 23-4-5515; 011111jqIIIIIIII 11 IN all I I I I 111 11 111 Zone L: On -street Landscaping Account 23-4-5517 For fiscal year 2021/2022 there is one new traffic signal installation, raising the total to 117 traffic signals within the City and, through the recent addition of this new traffic signal and new street W N Kam' •M Downey Lighting and Landscaping Assessment District No. 121 I L MAN Engineer's Annual Report Fiscal Year 2021/2022 As required by the 1972 Act, this Engineer's Report describes the improvements to be provided, maintained and serviced by the District, an estimated budget for the District improvements, and the proposed assessments to be levied upon each assessable lot or parcel within the District for fiscal year 2021/2022. While the budgets outlined in this Report reflect the estimated costs necessary to fully and adequately provide for the maintenance and operation of the improvements within the District, in 2Q1,1 combination of the current special benefit assessment revenues and the City contribution for general benefits. Therefore, in addition to the City's contribution for general benefit costs, at the discretion of the City Council, the City may also provide additional funding to support the improvements and/or implement service reductions for the fiscal year. To fully fund the improvements that are considered special benefits, it may be necessary in the future to increase assessment revenues which would require the support of the property owners for new or increased assessments through a ballot proceeding conducted under the provisions of the California Con stitutio IOM ------------- 0 - - 9 9 mitigation equipment, and operational expenses authorized pursuant to the 1972 Act. The plans and specifications contained in this Report generally describe the nature and extent of the improvements. In conjunction with these general descriptions of the improvements a visual depiction of the landscape improvement areas is provided in "Part V- Assessment Diagrams" of this Report. More detailed information regarding the specific plans and specifications associated with the improvements are on file in the Public Works Department and by reference are made part of this Report.

Im Downey Lighting and Landscaping Assessment District No. 121 40/WILLDAN Engineer's Annual Report Fiscal Year 2021/2022 Estimate of Costs: An estimate of the annual costs to operate, maintain, and service the landscaping and lighting improvements and appurtenant facilities. The budget for each Zone includes an estimate of the maintenance costs and incidental expenses including, but not limited to: labor, materials, utilities, equipment, and administration expenses as well as the collection of other appropriate funding authorized by the 1972 Act and deemed necessary to fully support the improvements, even though not all costs identified in these budgets are necessarily supported by the current assessment revenues. Those improvements and/or costs determined to be of general benefit shall be funded by a City contribution. In addition to the general benefit costs, the City may provide additional funding to support the maintenance and operation of the improvements considered to be of special benefit, but City staff shall make the determination of which improvements, and the extent of the services and activities that shall be provided based on available revenues. IMM Assessment Roll: The assessment amounts to be levied and collected in fiscal year 2021/2022 for each parcel is based on the parcel's calculated proportional special benefit as outlined in "Part 11 - Method of Apportionment" and the annual assessment rates established by the estimated budgets in "Part III - Estimate of Costs" of this Report. Due to the number of parcels within the District, the Assessment Roll for fiscal year 2021/2022 has been filed electronically with the City Clerk rather than displayed in this Report and by reference the listing of the Assessor's Parcel Numbers and the corresponding assessment amounts are made part of this Report. ir--Um Assessment DiagLalrns: ' This section of the Report contains a series of diagrams showing the boundaries of the Zones within the District for fiscal year 2021/2022 which incorporate the parcels determined to receive special benefits from the various District improvements. For those Zones that provide landscape improvements, the diagrams also provide a visual depiction of the location and extent of the landscaped areas being maintained. Parcel identification, the lines and dimensions of each lot, parcel and subdivision of land within the District and Zones are shown on the Los Angeles County Assessor's Parcel Maps and shall include any subsequent lot line adjustments or parcel changes therein.

Mm Downey Lighting and Landscaping Assessment District No. 121 Engineer's Annual Report Fiscal Year 2021/2022 Article X111 D Section 4a defines proportional special benefit assessments as follows: "An agency which proposes to levy an assessment shall identify all parcels which will have a special benefit conferred upon them and upon which an assessment will be imposed. The proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel shall be determined in relationship to the entirety of the capital cost of a public improvement, the maintenance and operation expenses of a public improvement, or the cost of the property related service being provided. No assessment shall be imposed on any parcel which exceeds the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel." t-T-MMAIMI MUTM Special Benefits The ongoing maintenance of landscaped areas and tree trimming within the District provide aesthetic benefits to the properties within the District and a more pleasant environment to walk, drive, live, and work. The primary function of the landscape improvements and related amenities is to serve as an aesthetically pleasing enhancement of the immediate area for the benefit of the surrounding properties and developments for which the improvements were installed and/or were facilitated by the development or potential development of properties. These improvements are an integral part of the physical environment associated with the parcels in the City and while some of these improvements may in part be visible to properties outside the City or by the public at large, collectively if the improvements are not properly maintained, it is the developed parcels within the City and District that would be aesthetically burdened. Additionally, the street landscaping and trees serve as both a physical buffer as well as a sound reduction buffer between the roadways and the properties in the District and serve as a pleasant aesthetic amenity that enhances the approach to the parcels and overall serve as an extension of the physical attributes of the parcels assessed, similar to the private property landscaping associated with each parcel assessed. These green space areas may also provide a greater opportunity for recreation. As a result, the maintenance of these landscaped improvements provides particular and distinct benefits to the properties and developments within the District. Likewise, street lighting in the District is primarily useful for illuminating the streets that provide access to the properties in the District as well as the sidewalks and parking lanes associated with those properties. While it is recognized that both street lights and traffic signals serve in part to enhance traffic safety, installation and construction of these improvements are clearly required by the development of properties within the District and these improvements provide three main special benefits to those properties: (i) property security benefit, (ii) pedestrian safety benefit, and (iii) parkway/roadway egress benefit. Furthermore, because traffic circulation in the City is largely the result of local traffic to and from these properties by the property owners and guests, it is reasonable to assume that these properties derive a particular and distinct benefit from the street lights and traffic signals that support the safe access to the properties and essentially all pedestrians and parking vehicles in the lit areas will, after dark, be directly associated with the assessed properties. As a result, the maintenance of these lighting improvements is a particular and distinct benefit to the properties and developments within each Zone. Page 10 Downey Lighting and Landscaping Assessment District No. 121 W I LLDAN Engineer's Annual Report Fiscal Year 2021/2022 Together with the baseline general benefit costs and the indirect/incidental general benefit costs identified above, it is reasonable to conclude that the overall general benefit costs associated with the various District/Zone landscape improvements is less than seven percent (7%) of the regular annual maintenance expenditures. These general benefit costs shall be excluded from the special benefit assessment funding and not assessed to the parcels within District. However, to ensure that no parcel is assessed for more than its proportional special benefit for local landscaping improvements, for fiscal year 2021/2022 the City will contribute for general benefit an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the estimated Annual Maintenance Expenditures and Administration Expenses budgeted for Zone L. In reviewing the location and extent of the specific lighting improvements (local street lighting, arterial street lighting and traffic signals) to be funded by District assessments and the proximity and relationship to properties to be assessed, like the landscaping improvements it is evident these improvements were primarily installed in connection with the development of or are improvements that would otherwise be shared by and required for the development of properties. It is also evident that the maintenance and servicing of these improvements has a direct and particular impact (special benefit) on those properties in proximity to those improvements and such improvements beyond that which is required for traffic circulation to ensure the safety and protection of the general public and property in general, has no benefit to the public at large or properties outside each respective Zone. The Lighting Zones are comprised of properties that receive a particular and direct benefit from local street lights that were installed as part of the overall development or planned development of the properties to be assessed and the street lights would for the most part would otherwise not be necessary or required without the development of those properties. Likewise, only those properties and developments that are adjacent to or in close proximity to street light improvements and benefit directly from those improvements are included in the Zones. Because these improvements are directly associated with the development of the properties within the Zone and clearly provide a special benefit to these properties that is not shared by all properties in the District, it is certainly reasonable to conclude that the maintenance and operation of these improvements is largely if not entirely a special benefit to those properties assessed. However, based on a review of the City's development and street lighting standards it is estimated that not more than thirty-five percent (35%) of the local street lights within residential areas are located on the perimeter of the developments (collector streets) that are shared by those properties and developments. It is reasonable to conclude that these particular street lights not only provide a special benefit to properties in the Zone but may also enhance general nighttime traffic safety and circulation for other properties and the general public. While these street lights are clearly the direct result of the adjacent or nearby property development, it is estimated based on general traffic circulation data for residential and collector streets, that less than half (50%) of these particular street lights and associated costs would be necessary in less concentrated development areas. Therefore, it has been determined that the general benefit related to the operation and maintenance of these particular perimeter residential street lights is no more than eighteen percent (18%) of the local streetlight operating costs (half of the approximate 35% associated with the perimeter and collector lights). However, to ensure that no parcel is assessed for more than its proportional special benefit for local street lighting, for fiscal year 2021/2022 the City will contribute for general benefit an amount equal to twenty percent (20%) of the estimated Annual Maintenance Expenditures and Administration Expenses budgeted for local street lighting.

Direct assessments in Zone 1 are distributed based on the special benefit each property receives. Streets within this zone have been improved with mid -block lighting. Since streets providc vehicular and pedestrian access to properties, the special benefit is apportioned based on thg 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. =1370m� = FiscalYear Applied Maximum Assessed Dwelling 202112022 Assessment Rates Assessment Rate Parcels Units Assessment ($/Dwelling Unit) ($/Dwelling Unit) Amount ------------------ 1-20 Units 21,764 28,348 $0,00 $ - $21,41 21-60 Units 128 4,313 $0,00 $ - $1 O, 70 61-109 Units 18 1,502 $0.00 $ - $5,35 109-460 Units 4 935 $0.00 $ - $2.68 W1 $ 671,160.68 $ 28,173.10 $ 3,306.30 $ 1,337.32 $ 703,977.40 11111 M- Ho Zone 2: Commercial Account 234-5512 V177TWO10r, - I've Streets within this zone have been improved with mid-biock lighting.
