Uilkerna, District 2 Mary Piepho,District 3 Mark DeSaulnier, District 4 Federal Glover, District 5 Prepared by Contra Costa County Public Warks Department INTRODUCTION The Board of Supervisors, on October 31, 1978, instructed the Public Works Director to develop an alternate means to supplement ad valorem tax to fund street lighting in County service areas. This report recommends levying of a street lighting charge as provided in the County Service Area Law, Government Code, Sections 25210.1 and following, and in accordance with Ordinance No. 79-42, adopted by the Board of Supervisors on March 27, 1979. FUNDING SOURCE FOR STREET LIGHTING The three principal revenue sources for funding street lighting within County Service Area L-100 are: 1. L-100 street lighting charges; and 2. Property taxes; and 3. Investments RATIONALE FOR STREET LIGHTING Street lighting benefits all property owners within the County Service Area L-100 who are provided this service. The degree of benefit is determined by the use of the land of each individual parcel, the intensity of illumination provided, the number of pedestrians generated by the land use, and the enhanced security during hours of darkness. It is assumed that similar land uses will receive similar benefits. As an example, all single dwelling units are assumed to receive the same benefit and, further, the single dwelling unit establishes the basis for the street lighting service charge; hence, multiple dwelling units, containing 2, 3 and 4, etc., units, are assumed to receive increased benefits as the number of dwelling units increases. The factors used to establish street lighting service charges for the various land uses are shown on the attached Exhibit A. Exhibit A also lists the recommended street lighting units by class of property based on the intensity of street lighting,pedestrian and security factors, as well as the total units for each class. The service charges are uniform for County Service Area L-100 (CSA L-100). The total funds required by CSA L-100 are the aggregate of the estimated utility costs to energize the lights, the administrative overhead, and a percentage for unforeseen contingencies. The basic unit rate for each services area is computed by dividing the total fund requirements by the total units in the service area. The street lighting service charge for a parcel is the basic unit rate times the number of units for the class of the parcel. Exhibit C shows the street lighting service charges and total revenue by County Service Area L-100. Exhibit D shows every parcel number within a County Service Area L-100, the class of land use for each parcel number, and the basic street lighting services charge to be assessed, which is on file at the Clerk of the Board of Supervisor's office.

BY: 7J� �, DEPUTY SUBJECT: ADOPT Resolution No. 2005/ 343 accepting the Preliminary Engineer's Report for County Service Area L-100 for Fiscal Year 2005/2006, declaring the intent to levy and collect street lighting service charges and fixing a public hearing for July 26, 2005"At 9:30 a.m. to adopt the proposed annual charges, Countywide. (All Districts) Project No. 7394-6X5001 DATE: June 7, 2005 PAGE: 2 FISCAL IMPACT: There will be no impact to the General Fund. The levy of the annual street lighting charges will provide revenues to be used solely for street lighting charges. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS AND BACKGROUND: The proposed levy of annual street lighting charges benefits all property owners within County Service Area L- 100 by providing street lighting during hours of darkness. The street light program provides for operation and maintenance of streetlights in the unincorporated areas of the County. This action provides for the continuation of existing assessments to provide street lighting as provided for in County Service Area L-100, Government Code Section 25210.1 and following, and in accordance with Ordinance No. 79-42, adopted by the Board of Supervisors on March 27, 1979. This action does not result in an increase in service charges assessed to parcel owners within County Service Area L-100. CONSEQUENCES-OF NEGATIVE ACTION: Street lighting will have to be selectively eliminated throughout the County to meet decreased funding levels.
