Approve the Special Counsel Agreement with the firm of Robert Hessell, Attorney at Law. HISTORY: Owners of property located in the Proposed Assessment District No. 79 submitted petitions to the City requesting the formation of a special assessment district to underground overhead utilities and reconstruct street improvements within the Beacon Bay development. The City Council appropriated $97,000 to facilitate the undergrounding of utilities on December 8, 1997, in response to petitions submitted by owners representing approximately 68 percent of the assessable property area within Proposed Assessment District No. 79. Edison and Pacific Bell expended $15,500 to prepare engineering plans and submit guaranteed prices to underground the overhead utilities. The assessment engineer expended $81,333 to prepare improvement plans and engineer's report. SUBJECT: ADOPT RESOLUTIONS REGARDING THE UNDERGROUNDING OF UTILITIES AND THE CONSTRUCTION OF STREET IMPROVEMENTS IN PROPOSED ASSESSMENT DISTRICT NO. 79 (BEACON BAY) December 12, 2000 Page 2 DISCUSSION: Proposed Assessment District No. 79 is being formed to convert existing overhead electrical and communication facilities, to underground locations, and for the reconstruction of street and drainage improvements that serve and benefit properties within its boundary. The land within the Beacon Bay community is owned by the City, but is leased to owners of each parcel. The leasehold interests within the boundary of the proposed assessment district will bear the cost of the improvements and all associated proceedings. The procedure recommended is pursuant to Ordinance 2000 -17, and is outlined in the Municipal Improvement Act of 1913. Bonds with a term not to exceed 20 years will be issued under the Municipal Improvement Bond Act of 1915 to represent assessments that are not paid in cash within 30 days after confirmation of the assessment. The total estimated costs for Proposed Assessment District No. 79 are as follows: ITEM ESTIMATED COST Estimated Cost of Construction: $1,419,861.00 Estimated Incidental Costs and Expenses: 8,616.00 Estimated Financing (Bond) Costs: 219.250.00 Estimated Total Cost: $1,647,727.00 The estimate does not include the Federal Income Tax Component of Contribution (ITCC Tax) - which is a betterment tax, because underground utility districts are formed at the request of the community for purposes of community aesthetics and public safety, not for the benefit of a particular customer of the utility in their capacity as customer of the utility. This underground district is not required as a condition for obtaining electrical service. If the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), State, City and/or local government taxing authority determines this project is taxable, Southern California Edison (SCE) will request the City of Newport Beach to reimburse SCE for the full amount of the tax liability - plus interest, penalties, fees, and related costs. Such amounts will be paid to SCE within 60 days after notification of such event by SCE to the City of Newport Beach. The ITCC tax associated with this district is approximately $153,000. The City would be liable for this amount plus penalties if the IRS determines the district is not exempt from the tax. However, the Assistant City Attorney feels it is unlikely that the City will incur any tax liability. In addition to his or her assessment, each property owner will be responsible for converting his or her service connection to receive underground service. The Bond Reserve will be 5 percent for the subject districts. E SUBJECT: ADOPT RESOLUTIONS REGARDING THE UNDERGROUNDING OF UTILITIES AND THE CONSTRUCTION OF STREET IMPROVEMENTS IN PROPOSED ASSESSMENT DISTRICT NO. 79 (BEACON BAY) December 12, 2000 Page 3 Property owners who pay assessments in cash will receive a discount, which represents the cost of issuing and servicing bonds. The City will dedicate underground easements for public utility purposes with the approval of this assessment district. Only overhead utility easements exist at the present time.

Counsel hereby states that Counsel does not represent clients with adverse interests to the City with respect to any matter within the scope of services to be provided under this agreement. City acknowledges that Counsel represents or has represented many public agencies and, occasionally, underwriters and other entities, and City understands the possibility that during the time of this agreement, one or more of Counsel's present or future clients may have transactions with the City. City also understands the possibility that Counsel may be asked to represent, in an unrelated matter, one or more of the entities involved in the matters contemplated by this agreement. Counsel does not believe that such representation, if it occurs, will adversely affect Counsel's ability to represent the City as provided in this agreement, either because the matters will be sufficiently different from the matters contemplated by this agreement so as to make the representations not adverse to Counsel's representation of the City or because the potential for such adversity is remote or minor and outweighed by the consideration that it is unlikely that advice given to the other client will be relevant to any aspect of the matters contemplated by this agreement. Execution of this agreement signifies the City's consent to Counsel's representation of others consistent with the circumstances described in this paragraph. SECTION 7. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated by either party hereto by mailing written notice thereof to the other party.

The statute does not specify the method or formula that should be used to apportion the assessments in special Assessment District proceedings. The responsibility rests with the Assessment Engineer who is appointed for the purpose of analyzing the facts and determining the apportionment (spread) of the assessment obligation. For these proceedings, the City has retained the firm of Willdan. The Assessment Engineer makes his recommendation at the public hearing on the Assessment District, and the final authority and action rest with the City after hearing all testimony and evidence presented at the public hearing. Upon conclusion of the public hearing, the City must make the final action in determining whether or not the assessment spread has been made in direct proportion to the benefits received. It is necessary to identify the benefit that the Works of Improvement will render to the properties within the Assessment District. It is also necessary that the properties receive a special and direct benefit as distinguished from benefit to the general public. Since the residential leasehold parcels within the District are subject to a land lease with the City for a term of fifty years, the approximate useful life of the improvements, the special benefit is deemed to be received entirely by the residential leasehold parcels within the District. Benefit General Benefit The District is a residential community with ingress/egress limited to the intersection of Harbor Island Road and Beacon Bay. All streets within the District are local public streets serving only the residents of the District. Therefore, the District improvements provide no general benefit to the public at large. Special Benefit The improvements to the District include street and storm drain improvements and the undergrounding of existing telephone and electrical utilities. All residential leasehold parcels within the District receive direct and special benefit from the District improvements. The three recreational parcels owned by the City receive no direct and special benefit from Willdon Exhibit E - 1 City of Newport Beach the District improvements. Furthermore, since the flow of storm water along the entrance of Beacon Bay and Cutter Road is being directed away from the residential leasehold parcels and toward the recreational parcels, flooding within the recreational parcels could be worsened should the catch basins improvements become obstructed. As such, the residential leasehold property owners are allocated 100% of the direct and special benefit from the District improvements. The special benefit received by each improvement will be discussed separately. Street and Storm Drain Improvements The street and storm drain improvements to be constructed along Beacon Bay, Cutter Road, Ketch Road, Schooner Road and Yale Road will provide a direct and special benefit to all residential leasehold properties within the District by improving drainage flow away from the properties and reduce ponding of storm water in the streets. This will provide safer streets, better aesthetics and improve ingress/egress into the residential leasehold properties within the District. Underaroundina of Utilities The undergrounding of utilities provide a direct and special benefit to all residential leasehold properties within the District even though there may not be a particular improvement immediately adjacent to a particular parcel. All residential leasehold parcels within the District will benefit from the undergrounding of existing overhead utility poles and lines. The District is composed of narrow, grade level residential streets. Existing overhead utility poles and lines within the streets affect neighborhood streetscapes and the aesthetic quality of the District. Overhead utility poles and lines cause disruption to views for certain residential structures within the District. The removal of overhead utility poles and lines will increase the safety of streets and neighborhood by removing potentially hazardous conditions in the event of a natural disaster. The improvements consist of the removing of physical and visual impediments thus aesthetically enhancing the nature of the District. Based on the uniform configuration of the streets and the relatively standard spacing of the existing overhead utility poles and lines, all residential leasehold parcels within the District will benefit the same from the undergrounding of existing overhead poles and lines. The District improvements render a direct and special benefit to the residential leasehold parcels located within the District and the levy of a special assessment for the improvements is appropriate. Method of Assessment A review of the District parcels and parcel configurations, as provided by the County Assessor and the City, was made in connection with determining the method of assessment for the District. The District is comprised of sixty -nine single - family residential leasehold parcels and three recreational /homeowner's association parcels. The single - family residential structures are all located at street level and are all relatively the same lot size and configuration. All such parcels within the District receive an equal Willdan Exhibit E - 2 City of Newport Beach benefit from the District improvements and will be assessed equally. The recreational/homeowner's parcels, as discussed under Special Benefit above, receive little or no special benefit from the District improvements and will not be assessed for the District improvements. The following are the two (2) basic types of parcels within the District: Units Assigned SFR - Single- family residential leasehold parcels 1.0 COM - Common area or recreational use parcels 0 Assessment Calculation The assessment levy to each SFR parcel will be calculated by dividing total District improvement costs plus financing costs by the total SFR units. The cost of the District improvements plus financing costs is estimated to be $1,647,727. Individual Assessments The individual assessments are tabulated for each Assessor's Parcel Number, as shown on Exhibit D - Assessment Roll, which is on file with the City Clerk of Newport Beach. In conclusion, it is my opinion that the assessments for Underground Utility Assessment District No. 79 (Beacon Bay) are allocated in accordance with the benefits which the land received from the Works of Improvement.
