City Council Agenda Item Report
On September 27, 2010, the City Council adopted a Resolution of Initiation to begin
the proceedings for the formation of WWAD #3.Since adoption of the Resolution of
Initiation, conceptual plans have been developed and approved by the Agency
Board. The conceptual plans include two new medians, totaling 388 linear feet that
will be positioned along West Washington Boulevardbetween Boise Avenue and
Wade Avenue as well as the refurbishment of five existing medians located near
Zanja Street (Attachment 2). The proposed medians will enhance the commercial
area with drought tolerant and low maintenance planting to ensure that ongoing
maintenance costs are minimized.
DISCUSSION:
Pursuant to the requirement of the California Constitution, a proposed Benefit
Assessment District must provide a distinct and special benefit to those parcels that
are within the District. The Engineer’s Report recommends calculating the proposed
assessment based upon linear front footage and building square footage combined.
This methodology allows for each parcel to be assessed in proportion to the special
benefit received. The proposed District has 1,486.57 feet of commercial linear
footage and approximately 94,001 building square footage.
Pursuant to both the Resolution of Initiation and under a contract approved by the
Agency Board. the Director of Public Works/City Engineer has caused the
Engineer’s Report to be prepared by NBS (Attachment 3) that outlines the
requirements and benefits for the proposed District and details the general nature,
location and extent of the improvements to be maintained, an estimate of the costs
of the maintenance, operations and servicing of the improvements, a diagram
showing the area and properties to be assessed, and an estimate of the costs of
maintenance, operations and servicing the improvements, assessment amounts
upon all assessable lots and/or parcels with the District in proportion to the special
benefit received.
Pursuant to the Engineer’s Report, the assessments are proposed to be based on
the following formula:
Parcels linear front footage (total maintenance costs x .70)
+
Building square footage (total maintenance costs x .30)
= Total Annual Levy
Should the City Council adopt the proposed resolution, the public hearing during
which the City Council shall provide the opportunity to receive public comments and
hear the results of the assessment balloting shall be set for Monday, July 25, 2011
at 7:00 PM. Additionally, pursuant to Section 15.01.060(D) of the CCMC, the City City of Culver City, California
City Council Agenda Item Report
Clerk shall give notice of the public hearing by causing the Resolution of Intention to
be published, posted, and mailed as required by law and shall also cause the ballots
to be sent to all property owners of record within the proposed District.
FISCAL ANALYSIS:
The Engineer’s Report calculates the total annual maintenance assessments to be
$21,554.08, which includes the County administration cost of $350.00, and the
preparation of the annual engineer’s report and City/Agency administrative costs
(estimated to be $3,500). The total annual cost includes maintenance service twice
a month for the new medians. This amount also includes the delta cost of
maintenance on three of the refurbished medians near Zanja Street.
The proposed assessments included in the Engineer’s Report sets the initial
maximum assessment for Fiscal Year 2011/2012. On February 1
st
of each year
beginning in Fiscal Year 2012/13 the maximum assessment shall be increased by
the year over year change in Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers for the
Los Angeles, Riverside and Orange County area (CPI-U LA-Riverside-OC) through
December. The annual assessment shall not exceed the maximum assessment
unless the appropriate Proposition 218 proceedings are conducted by the City to
authorize an increase beyond the maximum assessment amount.
As noted during conceptual plan approval, construction documents for this project
would not be prepared unless the assessment district is formed.

ENGINEER’S LETTER
WHEREAS, on September 27, 2010, the City Council of the City of Culver City (the “City”), State of
California, under the Culver City Municipal Code (the “CCMC”), adopted Resolution No. 2010-R074
Initiating Proceedings for the Formation and Levy of Annual Assessments for a benefit assessment
district known and designated as “Benefit Assessment District West Washington Boulevard No. 3”,
(hereafter referred to as the “District”); and
WHEREAS, the Resolution Initiating Proceedings directed NBS to prepare and file a report describing the
general nature, location and extent of the improvements to be maintained, an estimate of the costs of the
maintenance, operations and servicing of the improvements, a diagram showing the area and properties
to be assessed and an estimate of the costs of the maintenance, operations and servicing the

Prepared by NBS – June 6, 2011
INTRODUCTION
Reason for Proposed Assessment
Approval of the proposed assessment covered by this Engineer’s Report will generate the revenue
necessary to:
A. Provide for the maintenance and servicing of the improvements described in the Plans and
Specifications. Maintenance may include but is not limited to, all of the following: the upkeep, repair,
removal or replacement of all or any part of any improvement or facility, providing for the life, growth,
health and beauty of landscaping, including cultivation, irrigation, trimming, spraying, fertilizing, or
treating for disease or injury as well as the removal of trimmings, rubbish, debris, and other solid
waste. Servicing means the furnishing of water for the irrigation of landscaping, the furnishing of
electricity, gas or other illuminating energy for the lighting of landscaping or appurtenant facilities.
This shall also include material, vehicle, equipment, capital improvements and administrative costs
associated with the annual administration and operation of the District.
B. Provide for maintenance and servicing in future years as costs increase due to inflation or due to the
increased costs of utilities beyond the City’s control by establishing an annual cost of living inflator.
Process for Proposed Assessment
The City cannot increase assessments within the District without complying with the procedures specified
in Article XIIID and Proposition 218. In November 1996, the voters in the State of California added Article
XIIID to the California Constitution imposing, among other requirements, the necessity for the City to
conduct an assessment ballot procedure to enable the owners of each property on which assessments
are proposed to be enacted or increased, the opportunity to express their support for, or opposition to, the
proposed assessment or increase in such assessment. The basic steps of the assessment ballot
procedure are outlined below.
The City must prepare a Notice of Public Hearing (“Notice”), which describes, along with other mandated
information, the reason for the proposed assessments and provide a date and time of a public hearing to
be held on the matter. The City must also prepare an assessment ballot, which clearly gives the property
owner the ability to sign and mark their assessment ballot either in favor of, or in opposition to, the
proposed assessment. The Notice and assessment ballot are mailed to each affected property owner
within the District a minimum of 45 days prior to the public hearing date as shown in the Notice. The City
may also hold community meetings with the property owners to discuss the issues facing the District and
to answer property owner questions directly.
After the Notice and assessment ballot are mailed, property owners are given until the close of the public
hearing, stated in the Notice, to return their signed and marked assessment ballot. During the public
hearing, property owners are given the opportunity to address the City Council and ask questions or voice
their concerns. After the public hearing, the returned assessment ballots received prior to the close of the
public hearing are tabulated, weighted by the proposed assessment amount on each property and the
results are announced by the City Council.
Article XIIID provides that if, as a result of the assessment ballot proceeding, a majority protest is found to
exist, the City Council shall not have the authority to increase the assessments as proposed. A majority
protest exists if the assessments represented by ballots submitted in opposition exceed those submitted
in favor of the assessment. All returned ballots are tabulated and weighted according to the financial
obligation of each particular parcel.
If there is no majority protest as described above, the City Council may approve the proposed District
assessments.

Formation Engineer’s Report – City of Culver City 6
Prepared by NBS – June 6, 2011
It is the intent of the City of Culver City to establish a reserve which shall not exceed the estimated costs
of maintenance and servicing to December 10 of the fiscal year, or whenever the City expects to receive
its apportionment of special assessments and tax collections from the County, whichever is later. The
reserve balance information for the District is as follows:
Estimated Fiscal Year Ending June 30, 20011 Reserve Fund Balance $0.00
Initial Operating Reserve Collection – Fiscal Year 2011/12 0.00
Estimated Fiscal Year Ending June 30, 2012 Reserve Fund Balance $0.00
Definitions of Budget Items
The following definitions describe the services and costs included in the District Budget:
Direct Costs:
Maintenance Costs includes all regularly scheduled labor, material and equipment required to properly
maintain and ensure the satisfactory condition of all medians, palm trees, landscaping, and appurtenant
facilities, on a bi-monthly basis.
Water for Irrigation includes the furnishing of water required for the operation and maintenance of the
landscape and irrigation systems.
Lighting includes the furnishing of electricity required for the operation and maintenance of the palm tree
uplights.
Mulch Replenishment includes once annually replenishment of mulch as required for the operation and
maintenance of the landscaping and median facilities.
Plant Replacement includes the replacement of plants as required to ensure the satisfactory condition of
the landscaping and median facilities (does not include replacement of palm trees).
Irrigation Replacement includes the ongoing repair and replacement of the irrigation systems, including
solar controller and rain sensor.
Administration Costs:
City Administration includes the cost to all particular departments and staff of the City for providing the
coordination of the District services, operations and maintenance of the improvements, response to public
concerns and education, and procedures associated with the levy and collection of assessments.
Consultants include the costs associated with contracting with professionals to provide services specific
to the administration of the annual assessment levy.
County Fee includes fees charged by the County of Los Angeles for placing the assessments onto the tax

Formation Engineer’s Report – City of Culver City 7
Prepared by NBS – June 6, 2011
METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT
General
Pursuant to the CCMC and Article XIIID, all parcels that have a special benefit conferred upon them as a
result of the maintenance and operation of improvements and services shall be identified and the
proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel shall be determined in relationship to the
entire costs of the maintenance and operation of improvements. The net amount to be assessed may be
apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots
or parcels. Proposition 218, approved by the voters in November 1996, requires the Agency to separate
general benefit from special benefit, where as only special benefit is assessed.
Each parcel within the District receives special and direct benefit from the improvements and associated
appurtenances located within the public rights-of-ways located within the District, due to the proximity of
said improvements.
Special Benefit
The landscape and median improvements will be installed by the Culver City Redevelopment Agency and
the continued maintenance is guaranteed through the establishment (formation) of the District. Since
these improvements are for the benefit of the properties within the District and those properties also
benefit from the maintenance of the improvements, only the property owners within the District are
assessed for the said maintenance of improvements.
In addition, the improvements confer a particular and distinct special benefit upon all parcels within the
District because of the nature of the improvements. The ongoing and proper maintenance of landscaping
improves the aesthetic appeal of the properties within the District providing a positive representation as
well as the enhanced desirability of properties through association with the improvements. This increase
in the value provides a distinct special benefit to the parcels within the District, which includes higher
occupancy rates, increased rentals and lower vacancies. According to Judith Guido, Director of
Marketing for LandCareUSA, landscaping can speed up the sale of a building by 6 weeks. The
installation and maintenance of raised medians improve both pedestrian and traffic safety to those either
walking or driving within the District. According to the US Department of Transportation Federal Highway
Administration, raised medians provide pedestrian protection by “reducing pedestrian involved crashes by
45 percent and fatalities by 78 percent” and after analysis of crash data in seven states, “raised medians
reduce crashes by over 40 percent in urban areas.” The parcels within the District receive a distinct
special benefit as their primary use is business/retail, and studies have proven that greenery and
associated landscaping attract shoppers to the area as well as stimulate economic growth (Kathleen
Wolf, University of Washington: Economic and Public Value of Urban Forests). Also, according to Virginia
Cooperative Extension, a recent study has found that consumers are willing to pay a premium of up to
12% for goods purchased in retail establishments that are accompanied by quality landscaping. The
ongoing and proper maintenance of the landscaping and appurtenant facilities specially benefits parcels
within the District by enhancing the environmental quality of the parcels and making them more desirable
by improving air quality, providing shade from solar radiation, reducing temperatures through evaporation
and transpiration and absorbing heat (according to data from Planet, professional landscape network).
All of the above mentioned items contribute to a specific enhancement and special benefit of the
properties within the District.
General Benefit
In addition to the special benefits received by the parcels within the District, there are incidental general
benefits conferred by the proposed improvements. It is recognized that the proper maintenance of the
medians and landscaping improvements provide only an incidental and derivative benefit to the public at
large, including traffic and pedestrian safety for those passing though the District. Also, according to
ATTACHMENT 3 ATTACHMENT 3
13
Formation Engineer’s Report – City of Culver City 8
Prepared by NBS – June 6, 2011
Projectevergreen.com Economic Fact Sheet, the installation and proper maintenance of landscaping can
protect the City’s drainage systems. In addition, the proper maintenance of landscaping, lighting and
appurtenant facilities reduces property relating crimes (especially vandalism) against properties located in
the vicinity of the improvements (Diane Relf, Extension Specialist and Environmental Horticulture of
Virginia Tech). Finally, the proper maintenance of landscaping provides a positive visual experience to
persons passing through the District, which is only an incidental and derivative benefit. All of the
aforementioned constitutes incidental and derivative general benefits conferred by the improvements.
The total benefits thus are a combination of the special benefits to the parcels within the District and the
general benefits to the public at large and to the adjacent properties. Because the median and
landscaping improvements are located immediately in front of the properties within the District, and is
maintained for the benefit of said properties, any benefit received by properties outside the District is
merely coincidental. Nonetheless, the Agency has agreed to ensure that no property is assessed in
excess of the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred upon that property.
Method of Apportionment Spread
Each of the parcels within the District is deemed to receive special benefit from the improvements. Each
parcel that has a special benefit conferred upon them as a result of the maintenance and operation of
improvements are identified and the proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel is
determined in relationship to the entire costs of the maintenance and operation of the improvements. The
maximum assessment per linear front foot and building square foot is determined as follows:
Assessment per Linear Front Foot = (Total Costs X 0.70) / Total District Linear Front Feet
Assessment per Building Square Foot = (Total Costs X 0.30) / Total District Building Square Feet
Only parcels that receive direct special benefit are assessed, and each parcel is assessed in proportion to
the estimated benefit received, in accordance with the formula listed below:
Parcel’s Linear Front Foot X
Assmnt per Linear Foot
+
Parcel’s Building Square Foot X
Assmnt per Building Square Foot
=
Maximum Assmt
Per Parcel
There are 13 total parcels within the District, with 1,486.57 total linear front feet and 94,001.00 total
building square feet. The maximum assessment is spread as follows:
Fiscal Year 2011/12 Maximum Budget Costs $21,554.08
Total District Linear Front Footage 1,486.57
Total District Building Square Footage 94,001.00
Proposed Fiscal Year 2011/12 Maximum Assessment per Linear Front Foot $10.15
Proposed Fiscal Year 2011/12 Maximum Assessment per Building Square Foot $0.07
Cost of Living Inflation
The proposed maximum assessment sets the initial maximum assessment and is stated in Fiscal Year
2011/12 dollars. Each fiscal year beginning Fiscal Year 2012/13, the maximum assessment amount shall
be increased by the February Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers for the Los Angeles,
Riverside and Orange County area. The annual assessment shall not exceed the maximum assessment,
unless the appropriate Proposition 218 proceedings are conducted by the City to authorize an increase
beyond the maximum assessment amount.

Formation Engineer’s Report – City of Culver City 10
Prepared by NBS – June 6, 2011
ASSESSMENT ROLL
Parcel Identification, for each lot or parcel within the District, shall be the parcel as shown on the Los
Angeles County Assessor’s map for the year in which this Report is prepared.
A listing of parcels assessed within the District, along with the assessment amounts, is included on the
following page. If any parcel submitted for collection is identified by the County Auditor/Controller to be
an invalid parcel number for the current fiscal year, a corrected parcel number and/or new parcel
numbers will be identified and resubmitted to the County Auditor/Controller. The assessment amount to
be levied and collected for the resubmitted parcel(s) shall be based on the method of apportionment
spread approved in this Report. Therefore, if a single parcel has changed to multiple parcels, the
assessment amounts applied to each of the new parcels shall be recalculated and applied according to
the approved method of apportionment spread rather than a proportionate share of the original
assessment.
