CTIONS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 1990/1991 June 19, 1990 INTRODUCTION The Local Agency Formation Commission of March 23, 1989 approved the Rancho California Reorganization and designated the Board of Supervisors of the County of Riverside as the conducting authority. The Board of Supervisors of the County of Riverside, on May 2, 1989, approved and ordered subject to the confirmation of the voters, the incorporation of the City and the formation of a Community Services District as a subsidiary district of the City on the effective date of incorporation with boundaries coterminous with the City. The effective date of the incorporation of the City and the formation of the Community Services District was December 1, 1989. An election was held on November 7, 1989 where the voters confirmed the Board of Supervisor's action and selected the City name of Temecula and the Community Services District name became the Temecula Community Services District (TCSD). BOUNDARY The boundary of the TCSD is coincident with the boundary of the City of Temecula. A map of the TCSD is on Exhibit A. SERVICES The TCSD may provide the following services to parcels within the District. Parks and Recreation Street Lighting Soil Conservation and Drainage Control Refuse Collection Limited Law Enforcement ZONES The TCSD has established zones for areas where differing levels of service are provided. Entire District The service provided to all parcels within the district is the development, maintenance, and operation of the park and recreation facilities and programs within the District. 7one A 2 The services provided to all parcels within Zone A are street light operation (including energy charges), and maintenance and soil conservation, and drainage control, (in addition to the park and recreation functions of the District). The boundary of Zone A contains all of the detached parcels of County Service Area 143 within the District. Zone A is shown on Exhibit A. 7one R The service provided to all parcels within Zone B is street light operation (including energy charges) and maintenance, (in addition to the park and recreation functions of the District). The boundary of Zone B contains all parcels within former County Service Areas 75 and the detached parcels of CSA 103 within the District. Zone B is shown on Exhibit A. METHOD OF ASSESSMENT 3 Conceptually, the method of assessment is to relate all parcels' use to the single-family residence using weighting factors to compensate for the different levels of use with a minimum assignment of 1.0 EDU per parcel where the EDU's are computed based on parcel acreage. The formula is as follows: = Cost of Service -- Total Single-Family Dwelling Units (SF) -- Number of Multi-Family Dwelling Units (MF) -- Acres of non residential (AC) -- Weighting Factor for Multi-Family Residential Parcels (including condominiums) = 1/2 ~ Weighting Factor for vacant residential and non residential = 4 -- Total Equivalent Single-Family Dwelling Units (EDU) -- Assessment per $F -- Assessment per MF -- Assessment per AC Formula 4 G (total equivalent SF) -- B + (C x E) + (D x F) H (assessment per SF) = A + G I (assessment per MF) -- H x E J (assessment per AC) = H x F An example follows. Given that: A = $100,000 B=200 C = 600 D = 10 When: G (total equivalent SF) = 200 + (600 x i) + 10 x 4) -- 540 H (fee per SF) = $100,000 + 540 = $185.19 I (fee per MF) = $185.19 x ~ = $92.60 J (fee per AC) = $185.19 x 4 = $740.76 The application of the formula to the example results in a single-family assessment of $185.19; a multi-family assessment of $92.60 per unit; and a $740.46 per acre assessment for non-residential. The fees would be applied to all non-exempt parcels within the TCSD. F:xen~t P~rcels Government owned parcels (i.e., Federal, State, City, County, School Districts, and parcels classified as non-taxable by the County of Riverside, etc.) are not assessed. ~ntire District The formula for assessing the cost of services to be provided to parcels in the Entire District is as described above, applied to all non-exempt parcels within the District. 7one A For purposes of assessing, Zone A is divided into sub-zones which we will refer to as A-2, A-10, A-11, A-12, A-13, A-15, A-16, A-17 and A-18. For each sub-zone, the cost of services for the sub-zone is divided among the parcels equally. The cost of services is identified separately for each sub-zone. The sub-zones are shown on Exhibit B. Zone B 6 For purposes of assessing, Zone B is divided into two sub-zones which we will refer to as B-1 (parcels within former CSA 75) and Zone B-2 (parcels detached from CSA 103). For each sub-zone, the cost of services for the sub-zone is divided among the parcels equally. The cos! of service is determined by multiplying the number of fixtures by the energy charge and overhead rate for the type of fixture. 7 COST OF SERVICE The services for which assessments are levied and the cost of providing the services to parcels within the TCSD for the 1990/1991 Fiscal Year are shown below: District Wide Parks and Recreation (1) Administration Subtotal District Wide $1,321,594 243.244 $1.564.838 7one A Street Lights Soil Conscreation and Drainage Control Refuse Credit' Subtotal Zone A (2) $ 160,188 678,419 (239.588) $ 599.019 7one R Street Lights (Zone B-l) Street Lights (Zone B-2) Subtotal Zone B $ 0 75.775 $ 75.775 Note: GRAND TOTAL 1990/1991 $ 9.239.632 Refuse Credit represents a surplus from a prior year collection to be credited to Zone A assessments. 1.
