The difference between the estimated cost and assessments is made up by interest revenue on the reserve account and by use of reserve funds. The amount assessed to property owners ($84.72 per single family home and $42.36 per multi-family dwelling) is the same as the 1995-96 assessment. DESCRIPTION: This maintenance assessment district was formed in 1986 as part of the review and approval of the Villages at Willow.Creek development. This assessment district funds the maintenance of landscaping, including fencing and soundwalls, along the west side of Dougherty Road from Amador Valley Boulevard to the northerly City Limit, along Amador Valley Boulevard from Dougherty Road to Wildwood Road, along Wildwood Road and Fall Creek Road, and certain landscaped areas within the Ridgecreek single-family home development. Landscaping within the condominium and apartment developments is the responsibility of the property owner or homeowners' association for those individual developments. The landscaping along and within the Alamo Creek channel area is not included in the assessment district as it is the responsibility of Alameda County Flood Control,Zone 7. For Fiscal Year 1996-97, Staff is not proposing a change with respect to the method of determining the assessments. The District boundary remains the same as last year. The assessment to the property owners is proposed to be $84.72 per single-family home and$42.36 per multi-family dwelling unit. This is the same as the past three years' assessments, and Staff proposes to utilize $17,464 of the accumulated reserve in this District in order to maintain the assessment at the same level. Staff has also completed a preliminary estimate of the fund balance which would be available as of June 30, 1996. It is projected that the amount will be approximately $131,942. The actual amount will differ based upon final posting of all expenses and revenues;including the allocation of interest and delinquent tax collections. - At the time this staff report was written, one protest letter had been received from a property owner in this District(see Exhibit 4). Staff recommends that the City Council conduct a public hearing, deliberate, and adopt the resolution.

The public hearing notice is included in the envelope with this newsletter. These public hearings are held at regular City Council meetings;this year's hearing is on July 23rd. STREET LANDSCAPES For the 1996-97 fiscal year,the City Council has approved a Capital Improvement Project in the amount of$12,500 to upgrade the landscaping and irrigation systems in this District. These funds have been derived from cost reductions due to staffing changes by MCE Corporation,the City's maintenance contractor,as well as through lower subcontract bids and the use of District reserves. No additional assessments are required. The proposed improvements include replacing some spray irrigation systems to drip systems,filling in landscaped areas where trees and shrubs have died out,and replacement of Baccharis ground cover with a different ground cover. The Baccharis has gotten old and woody and has died out in several areas,especially along the Shady Creek Drive slopes,Fall Creek Road,and Wildwood Road. al' PARK IMPROVEMENTS The cost of park improvements and maintenance is paid by the City and not charged to the assessment district. The City's park masterplans include a number of improvements for the Dougherty Hills Park(the"hill"to the west of the Villages). Proposed future projects could provide a parking area along Amador Valley Boulevard,an improved trail along the ridge,a day camp and picnic facilities,restrooms,and naturalized landscaping. Due to the City's present budget constraints,the City's Five Year Capital Improvement Program does not currently include any funding for these future improvements. VANDALISM :. ...-.

First of all I do not believe that any one portion of Dublin should be assessed. Our property values have fallen,The county is purposing an increase in taxes • which I am also protesting. Dublin already has an unfair water company,in that as condominium owners we pay more water because we do not have meters for each unit and therefore do not get the advantage of a private home owner. As formaintenance along Dougherty road,it does not appear that there is that much done. • Also Dublin has so many homes that let the weeds grow and look lie garbage dumps s why is that allowed.? In other words if we want our city to grow and appear appealing there are so many un kept areas now. firmly protest this purposed assessment it is unfair in my opinion. • • Joan Wright --' 7512 Oxford Circle Dublin,California • • • AF/4#_941-2788-6D Phone 510-828-3373 • • • 4.
