Prepared by: Bill Guerin, Public Works Director City Manager Approval: ______________
TOPIC: THE VILLAGE AT LOCH LOMOND MARINA – MELLO-ROOS DISTRICT NO. 2
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION SETTING THE SPECIAL TAX FOR CITY OF SAN RAFAEL
COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT NO. 2 (THE VILLAGE AT LOCH LOMOND
MARINA) FOR FISCAL YEAR 2022-23
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a resolution setting the special tax rates for Fiscal Year 2022-23 for Community Facilities District
No. 2 – the Village at Loch Lomond Marina.
BACKGROUND: In August 2007, the
City granted land use and subdivision
approvals for the Village at Loch
Lomond Marina development. The
Loch Lomond development project is a
mixed-use development which
includes the construction of single-
family homes, flats, townhomes, and
commercial facilities and the existing
marina. The project originally included
the approval of 81 residential units, 17
of which were below-market units. In 2020, the developer and City reached an agreement on an in-lieu
fee for six of the below-market units, leaving 11 below-market units in the district at present.
As one condition of approving the project, the City required the developer, Marina Village Associates
(MVA), to provide certain park and recreation improvements and to impose a special tax on homes in the
development in order to pay for the maintenance of the landscaping, streets, sidewalks and wetland
monitoring.
By adoption of Resolution No. 13014 on July 19, 2010, the City Council officially formed the community
facilities district, which included all the parcels within the Village at Loch Lomond Marina Subdivision, as
“City of San Rafael Community Facilities District No. 2”, pursuant to the Mello-Roos Community Facilities
Act of 1982 (Government Code sections 53311 - 53368.3). It should be noted that the residential Below
Market Rate (BMR) units within the district are exempt from the annual special tax.
Loch Lomond Marina Community Facilities District No. 2 Boundaries
SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 2
The facilities to be maintained by the Loch Lomond #2 CFD include:
• The Marina Green and Boardwalk
• Kayak Launch
• Park Play Equipment and Area
• Pedestrian pathways along the west jetty/spit and east jetty/spit
• Viewing areas along the west jetty/spit, east jetty/spit
• Public restrooms (2), one on the east jetty/spit and one at the entrance to the breakwater
• Fishing cleaning station located near the entrance to the breakwater
• Park and informational signs within these areas
• Lawn/turf, shrubs and ground cover, irrigation systems, storm water drainage inlets within the
boundaries of the area, lighting pole standards, and fixtures above the foundation, benches, trash
receptacles and bicycle racks
• Conservation/seasonal wetland area
• Roadways and sidewalks
While some of these facilities require regular maintenance (e.g., landscaping and restroom maintenance),
others will need to build up reserves over a longer period of time in order to fund future repairs or
reconstruction (e.g., playground structure, roads, pedestrian pathways).
The special tax has two components:
1. Capital Reserve
A portion of the annual assessment is set aside to fund larger, long-term capital improvements
such as the eventual replacement of pavement, curb and gutter, roadway and other improvements
that were constructed as a part of the development. At the end of the useful life of these large-
scale public improvements, enough funds need to have been accumulated to replace them – e.g.
resurfacing the access road, etc.
As of June 30, 2022, the Capital Reserve Fund is projected to have a fund balance of $338,124,
and an additional $121,000 will be added this year (based on the previous years’ contributions
increase by 20% due to the rapid rise in construction costs for capital improvements). As shown
below the Capital Reserve Fund, June 30, 2023, is anticipated to be $459,124 before unforeseen
distributions in 2022-2023.
2. Annual Maintenance
The other portion of the annual special tax is to fund the regular and annual maintenance activities
required to maintain the district’s public facilities such as landscaping of medians and pathways,
garbage service, restroom maintenance and the semi-annual monitoring of wetland habitats.
As of June 30, 2022, the District will have maintained the accepted portions of the landscaping
and grounds maintenance for three- and one-half months. The District contracted with Forester
and Kroeger to provide this service in a manner similar to that level of maintenance that is
provided in other City parks. It has become apparent that the contracted level of maintenance for
both the grounds and landscaping are less than what the residents desire. The owner of the
marina, Safe Harbor Marinas, has continued to assist with the responsibility for the ground
maintenance. During FY 2022-23, the City will be working with the Master Village Association to
SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 3
determine an appropriate level of maintenance that can be sustained by the District funding. The
budgets for FY 2022-23 indicated in Part B reflect an increased level of maintenance that has
been requested by the residents.
The special tax was first levied during the FY 2017-18 fiscal year, based on upon the progress being
made on construction of the subdivision improvements. It was imperative that funds were available for
annual maintenance once the public improvements were turned over to the City and to start funding the
Capital Reserves since the improvements, while not accepted by the City, were being used by the
residents and the public.
However, various construction delays resulted in the developer, Marina Village Associates, LLC not
finishing the improvements that year as anticipated. Various punch-lists were provided to the developer
and on February 15, 2022, the City accepted the Landscaping and streets, drainage, and other facilities
with the exception of the Central Jetty park, adjacent parking and restroom and the Breakwater connector,
adjacent parking and restroom since those areas will be reconstructed during FY 2022-23.
Currently, the HOA is working with Forster & Kroeger to maintain the facilities at the level which the public
has come to expect.
ANALYSIS: Since the first year assessments were levied in FY 2017-18, the history of assessments has
been as followed:
Residential
(per unit)
Non-
Residential
(per sq ft)
Marina (lump
sum)
FY 2017-18 Max. allowable $1,948 $0.92 $59,260
Actual $1,948 $0.92 $59,260
FY 2018-19 Max. allowable $2,439 $1.15 $74,216
Actual $760 $0.36 $23,112
FY 2019-20 Max. allowable $3,152 $1.49 $95,927
Actual $760 $0.36 $23,112
FY 2020-21 Max. allowable $3,193 $1.51 $97,155
Actual $1,597 $0.75 $48,576
FY 2021-22 Max. allowable $3,315 $1.51 $97,155
Actual $1,916 $0.90 $58,291
FY 2022-23 Max. allowable $3,315 $1.57 $100,857
Actual (proposed) $2,203.18 $1.04 $67,034.60
As previously referenced, the annual assessment has two portions: the capital reserve to save for long-
term replacement of major infrastructure, and the annual maintenance costs.
The maintenance portion has yet to be utilized because the improvements have not been accepted by
the City. Therefore, this portion of the annual assessment fund continues to build. The capital reserve
fund continues to build as it was designed to in order to generate sufficient funds in a number of years to
resurface the roadways, replace pathways, etc.
The FY 2022-23 Engineer’s Report recommends the District assess properties in the District at an amount
of $2,203.18 per residential unit. Since City maintenance of the public facilities has not yet begun as the
facilities have not been given to the City, there is available fund balance to use towards the annual
SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 4
maintenance costs for FY 2021-22 and therefore the maximum assessment does not need to be levied.
However, an assessment which goes towards the capital reserve fund still must be levied at the full
amount since the facilities must be eventually replaced based on their anticipated useful life since
originally constructed.
Adjustments to Maximum Allowable Assessment reflect an increase in inflation from the base year of
June 2010. The increases are based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the San Francisco-Oakland-
Hayward region.
The FY 2022-23 assessment will generate $244,286.06 in revenues, of which $121,000 will be applied
towards the Capital Reserve Fund, as consistent with the capital reserve set-aside policies in the
Engineer’s Report. The remaining $123,286.06 will go towards the Annual Maintenance Fund with
planned maintenance expenditures as follows (the difference in the total cost of annual maintenance of
$191,114 will be made up with fund balance):
Annual Maintenance Fund
Maintenance Groundskeeping and Landscaping services $47,000
Litter Removal $54,000
Utilities (Refuse, Water, Sewer & Electrical) $30,600
Uncollected Assessments (2021-22) at 8% $12,214
Irrigation Maintenance start-up repairs and checking $5,000
Restroom Cleaning and Maintenance $21,300
Street Sweeping $800
Playground Inspection $400
Storm Drain Maintenance Catch Basins $10,300
Storm Response $1,500
Annual Engineer’s Report $7,000
County Administration Fee $1000
$191,114
Special Charges (funded by MVA through the District
Signs $ 4,926
SE Corner Landscaping $ 2,500
Landscape replacement $11,400
Total Special Charges $18,826
Total Maintenance and Special charges
$209,940
Annual Capital Reserve Fund Contribution $121,000
Total Loch Lomond CFD #2 FY 2021-22 Expenditures $330,940
The special tax is not term-based, nor does it sunset. The special tax will continue to be levied in
perpetuity as specified in the formation documents.

INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The Loch Lomond Project
The Loch Lomond development project (the “Project”) is a mixed-use development which will
include the construction of single-family homes, flats, townhomes and commercial facilities and will
include the existing marina, which is located in San Francisco Bay. The Project is located in the City
of San Rafael (“City”), off of Point San Pedro Road. It was approved by the San Rafael City
Council (“City Council”) of the City in 2007, by means of a series of approvals, including Resolution
12332 (“the Approval Resolution”). As one condition of approving the Project, the City required
the developer to provide certain park and recreation improvements and to provide for their
maintenance by means of a special tax to be imposed by means of a Mello-Roos Community
Facilities District (“CFD”). Since the approval of the Project, the developer has determined that it
would be more beneficial to the homeowners and more cost-efficient if the maintenance of certain
additional facilities, consisting of landscaping and street and sidewalk improvements, as well as
wetland monitoring, could also be financed by means of the CFD. Collectively, the park and
recreation improvements, landscaping, streets, and sidewalks and these additional facilities are
referred to herein as the “Facilities.”
On June 7, 2010, the City Council adopted a Resolution of Intention to form a CFD (the
“Resolution of Intention”) in accordance with the Mello-Roos Community Facilities District Act of
1982 (the “Act”). The Resolution of Intention indicated that the maintenance of the Facilities
would be financed by means of a special tax imposed pursuant to the Act. The Resolution of
Intention requested the preparation of this Report, directing that the report describe the facilities to
be maintained and an estimate of the cost of maintaining those facilities.
For purposes of imposing a special tax to fund the maintenance of the Facilities, the development
will be split into four tax categories: Residential; Non-residential; Mixed-use and Marina. As
approved, the Project features 81 residential units, of which 76 units will be located in the
Residential tax category and 5 units will be in the Mixed-use category, as they will be located above
commercial space. Of these residential units, 17 will be below-market units, 15 located in the
residential category area and 2 located in the mixed-use category. There is expected to be 22,500
square feet in the Non-residential category, which will be devoted to neighborhood commercial
restaurant and marina-support facilities. The Marina category will contain areas serving the existing
marina area, including the yacht club.
The Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982
In the Approval Resolution, the City Council determined that the Act would be an effective took for
funding the maintenance of the park and recreation improvements and conservation area. The Act
provides substantial flexibility as to the range of facilities and services that can be funded and the
method by which their cost can be allocated. As the financing mechanism is a special tax, and not
an assessment, the costs can be allocated according to any method that is reasonable, without the
need to make a specific finding of benefit to each property. The Act permits the City Council to
form the CFD and allows for the owners of the property, if it is uninhabited, to vote to approve the
special tax (which requires a two-thirds majority).
Purpose of the CFD Report
PART A

P:\Shared\Projects\Legacy\Novato\04\4116124\DOC\2022-2023 Annual Engineer's Report\2022-06-01 Loch Lomond CFD #2 Annual Engineer's Report (4.1161.24).docx
As directed in the Resolution of Intention, this CFD Report has been prepared and is being
submitted pursuant to Section 53321.5 of the Act. The Act requires that this report describe the
facilities to be maintained (see “Description of Facilities to be Maintained” below)
Formation of the CFD
On June 7, 2010, the City Council adopted the Resolution of Intention. A map identifying the
boundaries is attached as Exhibit A to this work.
On July 19, 2010 the City Council held a public hearing, as required by the Act, to hear any protests
to the formation of the CFD and to consider this report. Following the public hearing, the Council
adopted a Resolution of Formation and called an election to allow the qualified electors to consider
the special tax to fund the services described herein. With at least two-thirds of the votes cast in
favor of the special tax, the CFD was formed and the levy of the special tax was authorized.
Description of Facilities to be Maintained
The facilities to be maintained include those specifically described in Condition 45 of the Approval
Resolution:
The Marina Green and Boardwalk
Kayak Launch
Park Play Equipment and Area
Pedestrian pathways along the west jetty/spit and east jetty/spit
Viewing areas along the west jetty/spit, east jetty/spit
Public restrooms (2), one on the east jetty/spit and one at the entrance to the breakwater
Fishing cleaning station located near the entrance to the breakwater
Park and informational signs within these areas
Lawn/turf, shrubs and ground cover, irrigation systems, storm water drainage inlets within
the boundaries of the area, lighting pole standards, and fixtures above the foundation,
benches, trash receptacles and bicycle racks
Conservation/seasonal wetland area
Roads, streets, sidewalks, and stormwater infrastructure
Parkway strip along Point San Pedro Road frontage of the commercial and residential
properties (This is added in the 2021-2022 Engineer’s Report to reflect the responsibility of
the Master Association and its various sub-associations.)
In addition, the CFD will also maintain the common access road shown on the map attached as
Exhibit D, its landscaping, lighting and sidewalk areas.
In July 2017, the San Rafael City Council approved levying the first assessment for Community
Facilities District No. 2 (“CFD-2”) at the Village at Loch Lomond Marina. The CFD activity during
Fiscal Year 2017-2018 was very minimal. After a number of assurances in 2017, the developer,
Marina Village Associates, LLC (“MVA”) did not finish the work to a point where the City could
accept a portion of the improvements as anticipated in the beginning of Fiscal Year 2017-2018. On
June 1, 2018, the City received a letter from MVA requesting an extension of the Subdivision
Improvement Agreements through December 31, 2019 and, by implication, acceptance of a portion
of the improvements. The City answered this letter on June 20, 2018, including a final punch list
PART A
Page 5
P:\Shared\Projects\Legacy\Novato\04\4116124\DOC\2022-2023 Annual Engineer's Report\2022-06-01 Loch Lomond CFD #2 Annual Engineer's Report (4.1161.24).docx
which the letter directed the developer to complete prior to August 1, 2018. The successful
completion of the punch list would set the process in motion to accept the improvements, begin the
warranty period, and provide a partial reduction in bond amount for the improvements.
June 2018 Status and Actions
For Fiscal Year 2017-2018 the District received payments based on the first year assessments
anticipating that the District would be taking over maintenance during the year. As noted above,
this did not occur. The District had a positive account balance to pay for maintenance, fund capital
replacement, and pay for City administration.
Since the District holds unused maintenance funds from the previous year, there was no reason to
tax the homeowners for Fiscal Year 2019-2020 for the maintenance, utilities and operational aspect
of the District. However, the capital fund and City oversite are continuing expenses and needed to
be funded for Fiscal Year 2019-2020. The fiscal year assessment remained the same as 2018-2019 to
cover only the capital fund, City oversite, and contingencies totaling $79,737.22. The breakdown of
these costs can be found in Part B below.
June 2019 Status and Actions
The developer had completed the punch list and had been in the process of finalizing the remaining
work, including a map showing the remaining work to be done and the corresponding cost estimates
to complete the remaining work. We anticipated that this will be complete within the next 60 to 90
days. The City had requested quotes from landscape maintenance contractors to maintain the public
areas, once accepted. For these reasons the City anticipated paying for maintenance during the
2019-2020 year.
As the developer has been finalizing improvements, it has been noted that at high tides and during
storms two of the public areas are unusable. The first is the connection between the end of the
parking/paved area to the breakwater. The second is the play equipment and park on the central
jetty. Both of these areas will be improved by the developer prior to acceptance by the City. The
capital cost of these improvements will be paid by the developer. However, once these
improvements are accepted by the City, their maintenance and ultimate replacement at the end of
their usable life will be the responsibility of the CFD-2. It was anticipated that during fiscal year
2019-2020 the District would ask the assessed properties in the District for an additional assessment
to be added to the capital fund to provide monies to pay for this work in the future. This action will
require a public hearing and vote of the assessed properties.
June 2020 Status and Actions
The developer has completed most of the improvements for the Phase 1 “Backbone” infrastructure.
On April 20, 2020, the City Council voted to accept the partial completion of the infrastructure, and
authorize the City Manager and Mayor to enter into a combined Subdivision Improvement
Agreement which covers the remaining work to be completed as well as the flooding repairs,
described above, kayak dock and other small improvements that will, when completed become part
of the maintenance responsibility of CFD-2. In anticipation of the City accepting the improvements
the City will be soliciting proposals from Landscape Maintenance firms to begin maintaining the
CFD-2 facilities in fiscal year 2020-2021.

At the writing of this report, the City has prepared and delivered to the developer an combined
Subdivision Improvement Agreement (SIA) and is waiting for the developer to execute, provide
bonds, and complete the Memorandum of Understanding and BMR buyout agreements which
parallel the combined SIA.
The current assessments cover three areas: Capital Reserve Fund, Annual Maintenance Fund, and a
Contingency.
Capital Reserve Fund: As discussed above a contribution to the Capital Reserve Fund will need to be
annually in order for the District to have funds available to replace pavements, curb and gutter and
other improvements in the future as the useful life expires. The amount of the Capital Reserve
currently stands as $164,124.00 and another $59,000.00 will be added this year.
Annual Maintenance: Since the Maintenance portion has yet to be tapped, if no increase in
assessments for 2020-2021 are made, the District would enter the 2021-2022 fiscal year with
minimal reserves. In addition, a significant increase in assessment would be required. The Engineer
recommends that the District increase the assessment for 2020-2021 as calculated in Part D below
and as follows:
Proposed Assessments for the year 2020-2021:
Residential $1,596.51 per residential unit
Non-Residential $0.75 per square foot of non-residential area
Marina $48,575.80 Lump Sum
$172,100.92 Total Anticipated Revenue for the year 2020-2021
In should be noted that the District will be again increasing the assessment next year to levels similar
to the assessments levied in the first year of the district. This is based on the District now fulfilling
its function of maintaining the landscaping and other improvements within the District.
The maintenance can be separated into three components. First, will be weekly or more often
(depending on the time of year) landscape maintenance consisting of mowing, trash collection, dog
waste control, pruning and other items. Second, will be the monthly, quarterly, or semi-annual
inspections of equipment and structural facilities to confirm that they can be safely used. Third, will
be the cost of the water to provide irrigation to keep the landscaping grass, plants, shrubs, and trees
in a healthy condition.
The District will be assuming these costs from the developer upon final acceptance The District
has reviewed the costs that the developer has incurred in the past 18 months for maintenance. The
developer has stated that these costs include areas of maintenance that will not be assumed by the
District. A review of those costs and making some reduction for areas the District will not maintain
were compared with the original budgets established for the District when formed in 2010 to
determine a probable budget for 2020-2021.
Contingency: As noted in the financial summary in Part B, the District carries a contingency for
unforeseen circumstances. The contingency is large this year in anticipation of the District assuming
the maintenance responsibilities.

June 2021 Status and Actions
The Developer has taken major actions with respect to ownership during FY 20-21. However, while
the City Council has voted to accept the partial completion (April 2020), the developer has yet to
complete the punch list and continues to maintain the landscaping.
The major actions included transferring ownership of the Marina Property to Safe Harbor Marinas
and transferring the ownership of the second phase of the residential development to Trumark
Homes. In addition, Trumark Homes has an option to purchase the Mixed-use building.
The developer also requested to “buy-out” the remaining BMR units and pay an in-lieu fee to do so.
This action was also approved by the City Council and has been executed by both the Developer
and the City. For the CFD this will provide 6 additional units to assess going forward, since the
original District did not include assessments on BMR units. It is the Engineers recommendation
that these additional units be assessed at the same rates as the other residential properties, providing
a nominal increase in total revenue for the District.
The District collects assessments to cover three areas of funding: Capital Reserve Fund, Annual
Maintenance Fund and a Contingency. The 2021 status of these funds are discussed below.
Capital Reserve Fund: The Capital Reserve Fund needs to be collected annually in order for the
District to have funds available to replace pavements, curb and gutter and other improvements in
the future as the infrastructure approaches the end of its useful life. The amount of the Capital
Reserve currently stands at $223,124 and an additional $115,000 (including the assessments for the
former BMR units) will be added this year. As shown below the Capital Reserve Fund, June 30,
2022, is anticipated to be $338,124 before unforeseen distributions in 2021-2022.
Annual Maintenance: Since the Maintenance portion has yet to be tapped, this fund continues to
build. Nevertheless, the Engineer recommends the District continue to assess properties in the
District on the schedule suggested in the 2020-2021 Report. This will provide a graduated “bump”
in assessments to meet the rate needed to cover all the expenses once the City accepts the
improvements from the developer. The Engineer recommends that the District increase the
assessment for 2021-2022 as calculated in Part D and noted as follows:
Proposed Assessments for the year 2021-2022:
Residential $1,915.81 per residential unit
Non-Residential $0.90 per square foot of non-residential area
Marina $58,290.96 Lump Sum
$228,108.03 Total Anticipated Revenue for the year 2021-2022
Currently the District is carrying $223,670.00 in un-allocated maintenance since the developer has
yet to complete the improvements for the City to accept and the CFD to begin maintaining. If this
continues for FY 2021-2022, the maintenance fund would add an additional $160,000 and the
District will re-evaluate the assessments. However, this is unlikely. Should this occur, the
anticipated funds available for maintenance would be $383,670.00 without any expenses.
It should be noted that the increase next year may need to be made to bring the assessment funding
in line with the max assessments allowed in the District formation documents and further increase
would be only based on the index allowed for the District.

The District will be assuming all costs from the developer upon final acceptance. Since the District
will be accepting infrastructure that is several years old, the Engineer recommends that any monies
not used in District maintenance be allocated to repair infrastructure under the Capital Reserve
Fund.
Contingency: As noted in the financial summary in Part B, the District carries a contingency for
unforeseen circumstances. The contingency remains relatively large in anticipation of the District
assuming the maintenance responsibilities and completing minor maintenance such as resealing the
asphalt pavement.
June 2022 Status and Actions
In April, 2020, the City agreed to partially accept the improvements constructed by the developer,
Marina Village Associates (MVA). The improvements that were to be accepted included the
roadway and parking areas, landscape maintenance, marina green, the west jetty and other ancillary
facilities. However, MVA did not complete the work and the punch list items until January, 2022.
The City did agree to accept those improvements and take on the maintenance of the accepted
portion of the District on February 15, 2022. The specific areas that the City is not accepting are the
playground and middle jetty as well as the restroom and adjacent parking area and the breakwater
and access to the breakwater including the adjacent parking and restroom. These improvement
require additional work, which MVA is permitted and scheduled to complete in the summer through
spring of 2022-2023.
To affect the maintenance, the City contracted with Forster and Kroger on a month to month basis
to cover landscaping maintenance on the accepted portion of the project through the remainder of
the fiscal year. The maintenance level originally anticipated in the formation of the District matched
that provided by the City in other public parks. Since the areas have been open to the public, MVA
and their successor owner of the marina, Safe Harbor Marinas, have maintained the property more
aggressively, on an almost daily basis. This is the condition that the residents and the visiting public
have come to expect in the area.
While the City supports the concept to continue to maintain the area in the manner to which the
residents have become accustom, it is unclear whether the financing provided by the District will be
able to sustain that level of maintenance in the long term. Currently there are some surplus funds
resulting from MVA’s lack of completing the improvements which can help to fund a more
intensive maintenance schedule. Furthermore, as shown in Part D below, the District has the ability
to increase the assessments to help fund the level of maintenance that is expected by the residents.
The residents have requested that a District oversight committee be established to work with the
City in managing the District finances and guide the maintenance in the future. The City and the
residents will be exploring this relationship further in the coming fiscal year.
The District collects assessments to cover three areas of funding: Capital Reserve Fund, Annual
Maintenance Fund and a Contingency. The 2022 status of these funds are discussed below.
Capital Reserve Fund: The Capital Reserve Fund needs to be collected annually in order for the
District to have funds available to replace pavements, curb and gutter and other improvements in
the future as the infrastructure approaches the end of its useful life. The amount of the Capital

Reserve currently stands at $338,124 and an additional $121,000 (based on the previous years’
contributions increase by 20% due to the rapid rise in construction costs for capital improvements)
will be added this year. As shown below the Capital Reserve Fund, June 30, 2023, is anticipated to
be $459,124 before unforeseen distributions in 2022-2023.
Annual Maintenance: Since the Maintenance portion has just begun to be tapped, this fund had
continued to build during the current fiscal year. Nevertheless, and based on the level of
maintenance expected by the residents, the Engineer recommends the District continue to assess
properties in the District. The Engineer suggest increasing the assessments so that the District
participants experience a graduated “bump” in assessments to meet the rate needed to cover all the
expenses once the City accepts the improvements from the developer and the level of maintenance
required become apparent. The Engineer recommends that the District increase the assessment for
2022-2023 as calculated in Part D and noted as follows:
Proposed Assessments for the year 2022-2023:
Residential $2,203.18 per residential unit
Non-Residential $1.04 per square foot of non-residential area
Marina $67,034.60 Lump Sum
$244,286.06 Total Anticipated Revenue for the year 2021-2022
Currently the District is carrying $276,120.42 in un-allocated maintenance since the developer has
yet to complete the improvements for the City to accept and the CFD to begin maintaining. As
noted above this will be evaluated during FY 2022-2023 to determine what the maintenance fund
will require going forward.
It should be noted that future increases may need to be made to bring the assessment funding in line
with the max assessments allowed in the District formation documents and further increase would
be only based on the index allowed for the District.
The District will be assuming all costs from the developer upon final acceptance. Since the District
will be accepting infrastructure that is several years old, the Engineer recommends that any monies
not used in District maintenance be allocated to repair infrastructure under the Capital Reserve
Fund.
Contingency: As noted in the financial summary in Part B, the District carries a contingency for
unforeseen circumstances. The contingency remains relatively large in anticipation of the District
assuming the maintenance responsibilities and determining the acceptable level of maintenance to
meet the residents’ expectations as well as covering deferred maintenance of completed
improvements such as resealing the asphalt pavement and repairing damaged fixtures and furniture.

III. CATEGORIES OF SPECIAL TAX AND DESIGNATION OF MAXIMUM SPECIAL
TAX
A. RESIDENTIAL CATEGORY: The Residential Category includes each Parcel of
developed Taxable Property within CFD No. 2 that is zoned or permitted to be used for
residential purposes. This consists of Parcels 2 through 76, inclusive, as well as the second
floor residential use permitted on Parcel 78, all as shown on the Tentative Map. The
Maximum Special Tax that may be levied annually on Taxable Property within the
Residential Category during the Base Year is $2,439.22 per Dwelling Unit.
B. MARINA CATEGORY: The Marina includes that Parcel of Taxable Property
within CFD No. 2 that is designated as Parcels 80 and 82 on the Tentative Map. The
Maximum Special Tax that may be levied annually on Taxable Property within the Marina
Category during the Base Year is $74,216.22. In the event that Parcel 80 is subdivided, the
Maximum Special Tax shall be allocated to the subdivided Parcels in proportion to the
number of marina slips contained in each subdivided Parcel within the Marina Category. In
the event that Parcel 82 is subdivided from the other property within the Marina Category, it
shall be taxed on the same rate and basis (per square foot) as property within the Non-
Residential Category and the Maximum Special Tax for the remainder of the Marina
Category shall be the amount calculated above, less the tax for Parcel 82.
C. NON-RESIDENTIAL CATEGORY: The Non-Residential Category includes
each Parcel of developed Taxable Property within CFD No. 2 which has been zoned or is
permitted to be used for non-residential uses (including office, retail, industrial, and other
commercial uses) but not property within the Marina Category. These Parcels consist of
Parcels 79, and 81 shown on the Tentative Map, as well as portions of Lot 78 devoted to
Non-Residential Uses. The Maximum Special Tax that may be levied annually on Taxable
Property inti nth Non-Residential Category during the Base Year is $1.15 per square foot of
Building Floor Area.
D. MIXED USE CATEGORY: Parcels within CFD No. 2 which are zoned or
permitted to be used for uses which fall in more than one of the above Categories shall be
taxed for each category of use. The calculation of the Maximum Special Tax shall be
performed separately for each Area of Use. For example, the Special Tax Liability for a
Parcel featuring two Dwelling Units and 10,000 square feet of Non-Residential Use shall be
the sum of the Special Tax for the two Dwelling Units at the rate applied to all Dwelling
Units in the CFD and for the Non-Residential tax rate per square foot times 10,000. The
Maximum Special Tax for Parcels in the Mixed Use Category shall be calculated accordingly.
E. ADJUSTMENTS TO MAXIMUM SPECIAL TAX: The Maximum Special Tax
for all Categories shall increase each Fiscal Year as determined annually by the City Council
by the Consumer Price Index for the San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose area, All Urban
Consumers/All Items, as published by the U.S> Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor
Statistics, or, in the event such index ceases to be published, by a comparable index
designated by the City Council.

IV. SETTING THE ANNUAL SPECIAL TAX LIABILITY FOR TAXABLE PROPERTIES
On or about July 1 of each year, but in an event in sufficient time to include the levy of the
special taxes on the County’s secured tax roll, the City shall determine the Category or Categories
representing each Parcel of land within CFD No. 2. Parcels subject to levy and their respective Tax
Category shall be determined based upon the records of the County Assessor as of the March 1
preceding such July.
For each Fiscal Year, the City shall determine the Special Tax Liability for each Parcel for the
Fiscal Year. The City shall make available for review by the general public information regarding the
Category to which each Parcel is assigned and the information used to calculate the Special Tax
Liability for each Parcel.
Attachment 1 shows the Base Year Maximum Special Tax rates. Each Fiscal Year following
the Base Year, the Maximum Special Tax rate shall be increased in accordance with the Special Tax
Escalation Factor.
To determine the Maximum Special Tax in each Fiscal Year, multiply the number of
Dwelling Units for each residential Parcel times the applicable Maximum Special Tax rates shown in
Attachment 1 as adjusted by the Special Tax Escalation Factor. For the Mixed Use Category, take
the sum of those two products.
The City shall calculate the Special Tax Liability for each Taxable Property for each fiscal
year as follows:
A. STEP ONE: Determine if the Improvements have been inspect and accepted by the
City. If not, the Special Tax Liability shall be zero for that fiscal year.
B. STEP TWO: As noted above the District is allowed to increase assessments based
on the CPI for the San Francisco-Oakland Hayward region. The CPI index for April
2021 (latest available) is 309.419. This is an increase of 3.81% from April, 2020
(309.419/298.074).
Based on this information, the Maximum Allowable Assessment for the 2022-2023
year would be:
Residential $3,193.14 x 1.0381 = $3,314.80 per residential unit
Non-Residential $1.51 x 1.0381 = $1.57 per Sq Ft of non-residential area
Marina $97,155.10 x 1.0381 = $100,856.71 Lump Sum
Since the District (and the City) have not accepted the improvements for the CFD to
maintain, not all of this funding is required at this time. Nevertheless, the Engineer
recommends an increase in funding in anticipation of accepting the improvements
and recognizing that due to the age of the improvements and the use to which they
have been subject since opening to the public. A 3.85% increase is recommended,
yielding the following assessments for 2021-2022:
Residential $2,203.18 per residential unit

Non-Residential $1.04 per square foot of non-residential area
Marina $67,034.60 Lump Sum
Setting the amount in 2022-2023 does not preclude future increases in future years to
the maximum allowable assessment based on the CPI.
C. STEP THREE: Calculate the Special Tax Liability for each Parcel of Taxable
Property by the following steps:
Step 1: Compute the potential Maximum Special Tax revenue for all Parcels in the
CFD by summing the Maximum Special Tax assigned to each Parcel for that Fiscal
Year.
Step 2: Compare the Service Annual Costs with the potential maximum Special Tax
revenue calculated in the previous step.
Step 3: If the Service Annual Costs are less than the Maximum Special Tax revenue
from Step 1, decrease proportionately the Maximum Special Tax amount for each
Parcel until the total Special Tax revenue equals the Service Annual Cost. These
amounts will be that year’s Special Tax Liability for each Parcel.
Step 4: If the Service Annual Costs are great than or equal to the potential Maximum,
Special Tax revenue calculated in Step 1, the amount of the Special Tax Liability for
each Taxable Property shall be the Maximum Special Tax assigned to each Parcel in II
above.
D. STEP FOUR: After the Special Tax Liability for each Parcel has been calculated,
consult Section V of this Rate and Method in order to prepare the Tax Collection
Schedule.
V. PREPARATION OF TAX COLLECTION SCHEDULE
Prepare the Tax Collection Schedule listing the Special Tax Liability for each Parcel of
Taxable Property and send it to the County Auditor, requesting that it be placed on the general,
secured property tax roll for the Fiscal Year. The Tax Collection Schedule shall not be sent later
than the date required by the Auditor for such inclusion.
The City shall make every effort to correctly calculate the Special Tax Liability for each
Parcel. It shall be the burden of the taxpayer to correct any errors in the determination of the
Parcels subject to the tax and the Special Tax Liability assigned to them. The City will maintain a file
available for public inspection of each current County Assessor’s Parcel Number within the CFD, its
Maximum Special Tax, and the Maximum Special Tax for all Parcels within the CFD.
VI. 2021-2022 ALLOWABLE AND ACTUAL ASSESSMENTS
As noted in part III E. above, Adjustments to Maximum Special Tax, the City anticipated
increases in the special tax up to a maximum amount to allow for normal inflation based increases in
the costs to make capital improvements and continue maintenance. The increases were to be based

on the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the San Francisco-Oakland-Hayward region. The Maximum
Allowable assessment for the 2021-2022 year for each category is calculated as follows:
Base Year 2011:
Residential $ 2,439.22 per residential unit
Non-Residential $ 1.15 per square foot of non-residential area
Marina $ 74,216.22 lump sum
Base Year June, 2010, CPI = 227.697
CPI, April, 2021 (Latest available data) = 309.419
Allowable increase 309.419/298.074 = 1.359
Maximum Allowable Assessment 2021-2022 year:
Residential $3,193.14 x 1.0381 = $3,314.80 per residential unit
Non-Residential $1.51 x 1.0381 = $1.57 per square foot of non-residential area
Marina $97,155.10 x 1.0381 =$100,856.71 Lump Sum
The Actual assessments for 2021-2022 will be based on the partial needs of the District as
outlined elsewhere in this report and be increased for the year 2022-2023 as shown below.
Assessments for the year 2022-20232:
Residential $2,203.18 per residential unit
Non-Residential $1.04 per square foot of non-residential area
Marina $67,034.60 Lump Sum
Setting the amount in 2022-2023 does not preclude future increases to the maximum allowable
based on the CPI in future years.
