Agenda Item No: 4.A

Board of Directors Staff ReportMeeting Date: July 15, 2020Submitted by: Codi MixPresented by: Jonathan Abadesco, Chief Financial OfficerAgenda Section:

Subject:RESOLUTION NO. 20-19 PUBLIC HEARING: CHANGE OF USE ADJUSTMENTS FOR PROPERTIESIDENTIFIED WITHIN ASSESSMENT DISTRICT 2014-1 BOUNDARY

Recommendation:Staff is recommending that the Board of Directors conduct a public hearing and adopt Resolution No. 20-19,approving the necessary adjustments to levies for properties identified in Assessment District 2014-1 as havinga change of use of the sewer system.

Fiscal Impact:$75,914

Background:Assessment District 2014-1 was formed in 2015 to finance each property’s equitably shared cost ofconstructing the area’s first centralized sewer system and Wastewater Treatment and Reclamation Facility(the “Sewer Project”). The methodology used was based off a property’s share benefit of the system and canbe further explained in the Assessment District 2014-1 engineer’s report.

Over 10,000 properties were identified in the Phase 1, 2 and 3 septic discharge prohibition boundaries to have abenefit use of the Sewer Project. Properties that were assessed fall under one of the following classifications:single-family residence; multi-family residence; mobile home park; mobile home vacant land; vacant land;commercial; and deferred. To calculate assessments, the Assessment District 2014-1 was based off of theSan Bernardino County Assessor’s 2015 tax roll, as well as applying water use data from the District’sSpringbrook billing software.

Since formation, there have been some change of use in water use data and property classifications, resultingin corrections and adjustments that need to be applied. Therefore, an adjustment to each levy is required toreflect the change in benefit. In discussing the issue with legal counsel and the District’s assessmentengineers, this aligns with the methodology established to fairly distribute the cost of the Sewer Project amongusers of the system.

At the June 17, 2020 Board meeting, the Board initiated the change of use proceedings by adopting ResolutionNo. 20-16. In accordance with government law, the resolution was posted twice in the Hi-Desert Star, a noticewith a copy of the resolution was mailed to all property owners of parcels affected, notifying them of therecommended changes and public hearing.

RESOLUTION NO. 20-19

RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS ORDERING CHANGES TO ASSESSMENT DISTRICT NO. 2014-1, AND TAKING OTHER ACTIONS RELATING THERETO

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Hi-Desert Water District(the “District”), California, has previously formed a special assessment district known as Assessment District No. 2014-1 (the “Assessment District”) to finance the cost of the construction of certain public improvements and appurtenances pursuant to the provisions of the “Municipal Improvement Act of 1913” (the “Improvement Act”), being Division 12 of the Streets and Highways Code of the State of California (commencing with Section 10000); and

WHEREAS, as a part of the proceedings to form the Assessment District, the Board previously caused to be prepared and filed an Assessment Engineer’s Report (the “Report”) as provided for in and required by the Improvement Act, the Special Assessment Investigation, Limitation and Majority Protest Act of 1931 (Division 4 of the Streets and Highways Code) (the “Investigations Act”), Article XIIID of the Constitution of the State of California (“Article XIIID”) and the Proposition 218 Omnibus Implementation Act (Government Code Section 53750 and following) (the “Implementation Act”) (the Improvement Act, the Investigations Act, Article XIIID and the Implementation Act are referred to herein collectively as the “Assessment Law”) and the Report has been presented to and adopted by the Board in accordance with the Assessment Law; and

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors is authorized to make changes to the Assessment District pursuant to the procedures set forth in Streets and Highways Code sections 10353 et seq., and has previously adopted its Resolution No. 20-16 initiating proceedings to make such changes, and calling a public hearing thereon (the “Resolution Initiating Proceedings”); and

WHEREAS, the changes are necessary to address parcels within the Assessment District that have either merged, split, or changed classifications, or have been assessed incorrectly as a result of incorrect information provided to the District relating to the number of units on the property, incorrect water usage data, or incorrect property-type classifications for purposes of calculating the assessment; and

WHEREAS, such changes do not constitute an “increase” for purposes of Article XIII D or the Implementation Act because, pursuant to Government Code section 53750(h)(3), the changes “are attributable to events other than an increased rate or revised methodology, such as a change in the density, intensity, or nature of the use of land”; and

WHEREAS, the District has provided notice of the public hearing in accordance with Streets and Highways Code section 10353 and 10354, by causing the Resolution Initiating Proceedings to be published in a newspaper of general circulation at least 10

WHEREAS, in accordance with the Resolution Initiating Proceedings, on the date and at the time and location called for therein, the Board of Directors held the public hearing, and has heard all objections and testimony relating to the changes; and

WHEREAS, at this time the Board of Directors wishes to pass on all objections, and order the changes be made to the Assessment District, which decision shall be final and conclusive, and to direct staff to take all actions necessary to implement the changes to the Assessment District;

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Directors of the Hi-Desert Water District as follows:

SECTION 4. Inquiries. Any inquiries relating to the proposed changes shall be directed to the Secretary of the District, at (760) 365-8333.

SECTION 5. Severability. If any section, subsection, clause or phrase in this Resolution or the application thereof to any person or circumstances is for any reason held invalid, the validity of the remainder of this Resolution or the application of such provisions to other persons or circumstances shall not be affected thereby.

Dear <<Property Owner>>:

The Hi-Desert Water District would like to meet with you to discuss making certain adjustments to your property’s assessment for the Sewer Project. Attached with this letter is a resolution, a project brochure, along with a list of your properties affected.

In May of 2015, the community formed Assessment District 2014-1 to assist property owners with each property’s shared cost of the $142 million Sewer Project. As a result of the formation, property owners were provided the opportunity to finance costs through a 30-year, 1% interest assessment on property taxes. Costs for each property were derived from recording water use during the 2012/13 fiscal year for each developed property located within the State’s septic discharge prohibition boundary. For undeveloped properties, assessment engineers calculated a shared cost using a benefit calculation. These calculations are explained further in the Hi-Desert Water District Assessment District No. 2014-1 Engineer’s Report, which can be found at www.hdwd.com/costs.

Our records indicate that an adjustment to your assessment is needed to comply with the Assessment Report, as well as to remain fair and equitable to other owners with similar properties and beneficial use of the sewer system. Such adjustments are being made to 18properties resulting from splitting parcels and change of property classification.

Enclosed is a copy of Resolution #20-16 initiating proceedings to make certain adjustments to the assessments imposed by Assessment District No. 2014-1 of the District, allowing for property owners to finance the difference of the adjusted amount through their original loan. The enclosed Resolution was adopted on June 17, 2020. A public hearing on the question of adjusting the assessment will be held on July 15, 2020, at 5:00 PM. The public hearing will be held at the Board of Directors meeting room, located at 55439 29 Palms Hwy, Yucca Valley, CA 92284. A copy of the attached resolution will also be published in the Hi-Desert Star newspaper upon adoption.

Specific information relating to the adjustment, including the adjustment to your assessment, is on file with the Secretary of the District and available for inspection at www.hdwd.com/costs.

Again, we would like to set up a time to meet with you to address any questions or concerns that you may have regarding the adjustment. Please feel free to contact me at any time at(760) 228-6269.

Sincerely,

Ed Muzik, General Manager
