4, ASSESSMENTS <br />The proposed assessment and the amount of the assessment for the Fiscal Year 2005106 <br />apportioned to each parcel as shown on the latest equalized roll at the County Assessor's office are <br />listed in Section 6 of this Report. The description of each lot or parcel is part of the records of the <br />County Assessor of the County of Alameda and such records are, by reference, made part of this <br />Report. <br />4.1. Method of Apportionment <br />Pursuant to the City of San Leandro Municipal Code, and Article XIII D of the Constitution of the State <br />of California, all parcels that have special benefit conferred upon them as a result of the maintenance <br />and operation of improvements shall be identified and the proportionate special benefit derived by <br />each identified parcel shall be determined in relationship to the entire cost of the maintenance and <br />operation of the improvements. Only parcels that receive direct special benefit are assessed, and <br />each parcel is assessed in proportion to the estimated benefit received. <br />4.2. Annual Assessment Increases <br />As to the amount of the maximum annual assessment which may be levied in future years, it is the <br />intent of this District that the maximum assessments for Fiscal Year 1996/97 be increased by 2% <br />each successive year (over the rate of the previous year) to approximate increases in costs of <br />maintenance. <br />4.3. Maximum Assessments for Single Family Detached Units <br />There are four hundred fifty-one (451) subdivided detached single-family parcels within the District. <br />Each of these is deemed to receive proportional special benefit from the maintenance and operation <br />of the improvements. When the District was formed in Fiscal Year 1996/97, a basic assessment, per <br />lot per year was established for the single family detached lots. In addition, an annual maximum <br />assessment was also established for each future year, which included a cost of living increase to allow <br />for reasonable increases in maintenance costs. An additional reserve fund of $105.32 per lot was <br />included in the single family detached assessment per lot for each of the first five years. Beginning <br />with the sixth year (FY 2001!02), and for each year thereafter, this "Additional Reserve Fund" will only <br />be levied to the extent necessary to replenish the monies spent from the Reserve Fund during the <br />previous year for maintenance costs which exceed the "annual Maximum Assessment" income. <br />The District Reserve Fund was fully funded as of June 30, 2001; therefore the "Additional Reserve <br />Fund" will not be collected in Fiscal Year 2005/06. <br />Prepared by NBS 4-1 <br />
