Parker, Director of Community Service=~ DATE: May 12, 2008 SUBJECT: TCSD Proposed Rates and Charges for Fiscal Year 2008-2009 PREPARED BY: Barbara Smith, Senior Management Analyst ~" RECOMMENDATION: That the Community Services Commission receive and file this report regarding the proposed TCSD Rates and Charges for Fiscal Year 2008-2009. 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 street and 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/ 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 City Council on June 10, 2008. As a result, the current services provided by the TCSD are divided into the following four (4) service levels: Service Level B -Residential Street Liahtina. Operations, maintenance, utility costs and administration of residential street lighting. 2. Service Level C -Perimeter Landscapina and Slope Maintenance. Operations, maintenance, utility costs, improvements, and administration for all perimeterslope landscape maintenance areas maintained by the TCSD. 3. Service Level D - Recvclina 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 designated areas of the City. Service Level "B" includes only those properties within residehtial subdivisions that have street lighting services. The proposed rate of $25.68 has not been increased from last fiscal year. R:\SMITFIBWssessments\08-09 Assessments\Commission StaH'Report.doc 5/2/2008 Service Level "C" includes only those properties within residential zones where TCSD provides perimeter slope landscape maintenance services. All zone rate levels were established in previous years and have not increased since last fiscal year with the exception of the following. Zone 6 - Woodcrest Country property owners approved a rate increase from $89.00 to $95.00 as a result of an election held on March 4, 2008. Zone 29 -Gallery Homes "Portraits" rate is subject to an annual rate inflator. In Fiscal Year 2007- 2008 the zone was assessed at $325.34 per parcel; due to a 4.2% increase to CPI this rate will increase by $13.66 to a total for Fiscal Year 2008-2009 of $339.00. Zone 31 was established to be used within the Roripaugh Ranch Development however due to construction delays the landscaping will not be accepted by the TCSD and this rate and charge will not be assessed for FY 2008-2009. However, this rate is subject to a CPI inflator and will increase from $26.83 by $1.13 to $27.96. Service Level "D" provides recycling and refuse collection services to single family residential properties in the City of Temecula. For Fiscal Year 2008-2009, the rate and charge is proposed to be $218.24. During Fiscal Year 2007-2008, the rate and charge for this Service Level was $210.24. This $8.28 increase is based on a 3.3 % annual average CPI increase; 4.2% increase to the Riverside County Landfill Tipping Fee and an 8.6% increase to the #2 Diesel Fuel index provided by the U. S. Department of Labor. These changes are pursuant to our franchise agreement. Service Level "R" includes only those properties that receive benefit from the emergency maintenance of certain unpaved roads after inclement weather. The proposed rates for this service level will not increase from last year for Rate Level R-1 and R-2. The following is a breakdown of these service level rates: Residential Rate R-1: $115.26 Vacant Rate R-1: $ 57.64 Residential Rate R-2: $ 95.86 Vacant Rate R-2: $ 47.94 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.
