AGENDA REPORT
TO:
Community Services Commission
FROM:
Kevin Hawkins, Director of Community Services
DATE:
May 12, 2014
SUBJECT:
TCSD Proposed Rates and Charges for Fiscal Year 2014 -2015
PREPARED BY: David Bilby, Senior Debt Analyst
RECOMMENDATION: That the Community Services Commission receive and file this report
regarding the proposed TCSD Rates and Charges for Fiscal Year 2014 -2015.
BACKGROUND: The Temecula Community Services District (TCSD) operates under the
authority of Community Services District Law and provides residential street lighting, perimeter slope
landscape maintenance, recycling and refuse collection, and emergency road maintenance services
in the City of Temecula. The boundaries of the TCSD are the same as those of the City, and the
City Council serves as the Board of Directors.
Property owners only pay for the TCSD services that they actually receive through separate rates
and charges on their property tax bill. The Community Services, Parks and Recreation and Service
Level A Rates and Charges previously levied by the TCSD were replaced by the City's Parks and
Lighting Special Tax, approved by the voters as Measure C on March 4, 1997. However, pursuant to
a cooperative agreement with the City, the TCSD continues to operate and maintain the City's
recreational and cultural facilities and programs. The levy budget for the special tax will be
considered by the TCSD Board on June 10, 2014.
As a result, the current services provided by the TCSD are divided into the following four (4) service
levels:
1. Service Level B - Residential Street Lighting. Operations, maintenance, utility costs
and administration of residential street lighting.
2. Service Level C - Perimeter Landscaping and Slope Maintenance. Operations,
maintenance, utility costs, improvements, and administration for all perimeter slope
landscape maintenance areas maintained by the TCSD.
3. Service Level D — Recycling and Refuse Collection. Operation and administration of
the recycling programs and refuse collection for single family residences.
4. Service Level R - Streets and Roads. Operations, reconstruction, and maintenance
of unpaved streets and roads in a designated area of the City.
Service Level "B" includes only those properties within residential subdivisions that have street
lighting services. The proposed rate of $25.68 has not been increased from last fiscal year.
Service Level "C' includes only those properties within residential zones where TCSD provides
perimeter slope landscape maintenance services. Most of the zone rate levels were established in
previous years and have not increased since last fiscal year. On March 4, 2008 a property owner
election was held for twenty -nine (29) zones in Service Level C. The election proposed to assess
an appropriate fee to cover the costs associated with landscape maintenance for each specific
zone. Only one (1) zone successfully passed this election which was Woodcrest Country — Zone 6.
The level of maintenance provided in each zone will be commensurate with the amount of revenue
received for each zone.
Note: The annual CPI change from 2012 to 2013 was 1.1 %.
Zone 6 — Woodcrest Country rate is subject to the annual CPI inflator which will increase the rate
from $102.12 to $103.24.
Zone 29 - Gallery Homes "Portraits" rate is subject to the annual CPI inflator which will increase the
rate from $364.48 to $368.48.
Service Level "D" provides recycling and refuse collection services to single family residential
properties in the City of Temecula. For Fiscal Year 2014 -2015, the rate and charge is proposed to
increase from $238.03 to $244.20. This $6.17 increase is due to a CPI increase of 1.1 %, a Diesel
Fuel Component Index (DFCI) decrease of 2.61 %, and a land -fill tipping fee increase of $0.31. Per
our Franchise Agreement the CPI, DFCI, and land -fill tipping fee increases may cause our Service
Level D rate and charge to change.
Service Level "R" includes only those properties that receive benefit of emergency maintenance of
certain unpaved roads after inclement weather. The area covered by Service Level R is located in
on and around Liefer Road in the northeastern area of the City. The maximum rate that can be
charged for Service Level R for an improved parcel is $115.26, and for an unimproved parcel is
$57.62. In Fiscal Year 2013 -2014 parcels were charged the full rate to offset the costs of the
emergency road maintenance services. For Fiscal Year 2014 -2015 parcels in Service Level R are
proposed to be charged the full rate.
The levy and collection of the TCSD Rates and Charges is exempt from the provisions of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 21080 (b)(8) of the California
Public Resources Code and Section 15273 of the State Guidelines because the rates and charges
are necessary to maintain existing services within the TCSD.
