File Number: 25-269 <br />the levy and collection of assessments. <br />Analysis <br />Services to the District are provided by the City of San Leandro’s Public Works and Police <br />Departments; the County of Alameda Public Works Agency; outside consultants; and outside <br />contractors. The services cover maintenance of the facilities, monitoring of the marshland to <br />confirm its health, feral animal removal, capital improvements, and administration. The cost of <br />services for FY 2025-2026 is estimated at $603,980, which includes two capital improvement <br />projects. The first project would hire a consultant to seek and write grants for the funding of the <br />construction of the Long Beach Restoration Project. The second project would purchase and <br />install rip-rap along the shoreline of the Heron Bay maintenance area to stabilize the shoreline <br />trail after storm damage sustained in December 2024 and to prevent future erosion from high tide <br />due to sea-level rise. Rising maintenance costs and aging facilities needing repairs requires that <br />the regular assessment be set at the maximum amount allowed. In addition, as allowed, the <br />maximum assessment will be increased by two percent (2%) to account for annual increases in <br />the costs of maintenance. <br />In addition, the District’s rules require that a minimum of $300,000 reserve balance be <br />maintained for capital improvement projects including unexpected or emergency repairs and <br />budget overages. The District’s fund balance at the end of FY 2024-2025 is estimated to be <br />$219,940. Because the estimated balance is less than the minimum, the maximum allowed <br />reserve fund assessment has been added to replenish the fund. However, unlike the regular <br />assessment, the additional reserve fund assessment does not increase annually and will remain <br />flat year over year. For this reason, the percentage change of the total assessment compared to <br />the previous year is slightly lower than 2%. <br />Assessing the properties at the maximum allowed by the District’s rules will fund the current <br />maintenance and capital improvement needs of the District, reduce the impacts of rising costs, <br />and help replenish the reserve fund balance. <br />Fund Balance end of FY 2024-2025 estimate $219,940 <br />District Costs FY 2025-2026 estimate ($603,980) <br />FY 2024-2025 Assessments $511,059 <br />Interest Income FY 2023-2024 estimate $2,199 <br />Reserve Fund Balance FY 2025-2026 estimate $129,218 <br />The Annual Engineer's Report includes the following: <br />·Detailed Descriptions for improvements maintained using District Funds <br />·District Budget using estimated costs for FY 2025-2026 <br />·Descriptions for Method of Apportionment, Annual Assessment Increases, and Maximum <br />annual assessments <br />·Assessment Diagram for District <br />Page 2 City of San Leandro Printed on 9/4/2025
