HISTORY:
Owners of property located in Proposed Assessment District No. 81 submitted petitions to
the City requesting the formation of a special assessment district to underground
overhead utilities. In response to petitions submitted by owners representing approximately
78.55 percent of the assessable property area within Proposed Assessment District No. 81,
the City Council appropriated $47,775.00 on November 23, 1998 to facilitate the
.undergrounding of utilities. $28,000.00 was expended to prepare engineering plans and
submit guaranteed prices to underground the utilities. $16,775.00 is being expended by the

Assessment Engineer for preparation of the engineer's report and assistance with •
processing the Assessment District.
On December 9, 2003, the City Council accepted a preliminary Engineer's Report for
proposed Assessment District No. 81, adopted a Resolution of Intention to form the
District, and set a public hearing on the Assessment District for February 24, 2004 (see
attachment). The location of the proposed Assessment District and overhead facilities to
be removed is shown on the attached sketch. Action on the Assessment District will be
taken after the public hearing is closed and the ballots are counted.
On February 12, 2004, an informal meeting was held at the City Council Chambers to
discuss the proposed District.
DISCUSSION:
The procedure being used is the Municipal Improvement Act of 1913. The project will be
financed by municipal bonds over a period of fifteen years. Plans and specifications were
prepared by the respective public utilities, which will own and operate the underground
facilities being paid for by the Assessment District.
The proposed Assessment District will underground all overhead electrical, telephone, and
cable TV lines. However, each property owner will be required to underground his or her
individual house services. The cost to convert the house services is not a part of the
Assessment District and must be contracted separately by the private property owners. •
The total cost of the Assessment District is $1,062,983.74, which includes the Federal
Income Tax Component of Contribution (ITCC) Tax, which is a betterment tax. However,
bonds will not be sold for the ITCC Tax because the City Attorney and the Bond Counsel
have determined that underground utility districts are undertaken at the request of the
community for purposes of community aesthetics and public safety, not for the benefit of
particular customers of the utility in their capacity as customer of the utility. This
underground district is not required as a condition for obtaining any electrical service.
If the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), state, city and /or local government taxing authority
determines that this project is taxable, Southern California Edison (SCE) will require the
City of Newport Beach to reimburse the full amount of the tax liability determined by the
IRS, state, city and /or local government authority, plus interest, penalties, fees, and
related costs. The City will sell a second issue of bonds, if necessary, to pay SCE within
60 days after SCE notifies the City. The ITCC Tax associated with this District is
approximately $97,777.02, which the City would be liable for, plus penalties if the IRS
should determine the District was not exempt from the tax.
The Assessment Engineer has determined that all the lots in this District receiving special
benefit contain residences (single - family, duplexes, condominiums, apartments etc.), except
three City lots, therefore it is reasonable to spread the assessment using an assessment unit
(AU) formula where each lot is assessed relative to a 'standard' residence with a 30 -foot
wide frontage. In no case has an assessment been imposed on any lot that exceeds the •
reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that lot.
SUBJECT: Undergrounding Utilities In Proposed Assessment District No. 81 River Avenue and Channel Place and Designation of
this Area as an Underground Utilities District
February 24, 2004
Page 3
The estimated assessment without the ITCC Tax component ranges from $16,985.60 to
$69,527.71, with the average assessment being $22,978.89. The estimated assessment
with the ITCC Tax component ranges from $19,164.37 to $78,446.16, with the average
assessment being $25,926.43.
Channel Place Park (City owned public property) is included within this Assessment
District. The Assessment Basis for the Park is derived by dividing the front footage of
utility lines by 30' to determine the total Assessment Units (AU) for this parcel. The Park
frontage footage of 184.2 linear feet, divided by 30 results in a total of 6.14 AU's. Since
the park receives an electrical service drop only, the assessment amount is based on one -
half of the standard assessment for a property receiving a 'full benefit' of two services
(electrical and telephone) that are undergrounded. Therefore the total AU value is divided
by two for an equivalent value of 3.07 AU's. The Park's Assessment amount including
ITCC is $78,446.16.
Adoption of these Resolutions will also designate this area as an Underground Utilities
District per Chapter 15.32 of the Municipal Code of the City of Newport Beach.
Environmental Review:
This project qualifies for a Class 2 California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) exemption
under Section 15302, item "d" of the Implementing Guidelines as follows:
"Conversion of overhead electric utility distribution system facilities to
underground including connection to existing overhead electric utility
distribution lines where the surface is restored to the condition existing prior
to the undergrounding."
Public Notice
Public Notice for this Public Hearing was mailed out on December 12, 2003, to provide a
minimum 45 -day noticing to residents within proposed Assessment District boundary.

No. 81: •
a. Resolution No. 2003 - making findings on a petition for, adopting a map
showing the proposed boundaries of, and making appointments for Assessment
District No. 81.
b. Resolution No. 2003 - declaring intention to order the construction of

to the City requesting the formation of a special assessment district to underground
overhead utilities. In response to petitions submitted by owners representing
approximately 78.55 percent of the assessable property area within Proposed
SUBJECT: Proposed Assessment District No. 61 River Avenue From Channel Place to 36th Street and Channel Place From
Balboa Boulevard) for Undergrounding Utilities
December 9. 2003
Page 2
Assessment District No. 81, the City Council appropriated $47,775.00 on November 23,
1998 to facilitate the undergrounding of utilities. $28,000.00 was expended to prepare
engineering plans and submit guaranteed prices to underground the utilities. $16,775.00
is being expended by the Assessment Engineer for preparation of the engineer's report
and assistance with processing the Assessment District.
DISCUSSION:
Proposed Assessment District No. 81 is being formed for the conversion of existing
overhead utilities to underground locations. The property owners within the boundary
of the proposed Assessment District will bear the cost of the improvements and all
associated proceedings.
The procedure being used to create the Assessment District is outlined in the Municipal
Improvement Act of 1913. Bonds issued under the Improvement Bond Act of 1915,
with a term of 15 years, will be issued to finance assessments that are not paid in cash
within 30 days after confirmation of the assessment.
The total assessment for Proposed Assessment District No. 81 is estimated as follows:
ITEM ESTIMATED COST
. Estimated Cost of Construction $747,028.50
Estimated Incidental Costs and Expenses $101,250.00
Estimated Financing (Bond) Costs $116,928.20
Federal Income Tax Component of Contribution (ITCC) $97,777.02
Estimated Total Cost: $1,062,983.74
The estimate includes the Federal Income Tax Component of Contribution (ITCC) Tax,
which is a betterment tax. However, bonds will not be sold for the ITCC Tax because it
is the belief of the City that underground utility districts are undertaken at the request of
the community for purposes of community aesthetics and public safety, not for the
benefit of particular customers of the utility in their capacity as customer of the utility.
This Underground District is not required as a condition for obtaining any electrical
service.
If the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), State, City and /or local government taxing
authority determines that this project is taxable, Southern California Edison (SCE)
requires the City of Newport Beach to reimburse SCE for the full amount of the tax
liability determined by the IRS, State, City and /or local government authority, plus
interest, penalties, fees, and related costs. The City will sell a second issue of the
bonds, if necessary, to pay SCE within 60 days after they notify the City of Newport
Beach.
The ITCC tax associated with this District is approximately $97,777.02 which the City
would be liable for, plus penalties if the IRS should determine the district was not
exempt from the tax.

Balboa Boulevard) for Undergrounding Utilities
December 9, 2003
Page 3
The Assistant City Attorney reviewed SCE's request to have the preceding statement
included in the Assessment District Report and felt it was unlikely the City would incur
any tax liability.
In addition to the assessment, each property owner will be responsible for converting
their service connection to receive underground service.
The Bond Reserve will be 5 percent for the subject district.
Property owners who pay assessments in cash will receive a discount, which
represents the cost of issuing and servicing bonds.
The following is a tentative schedule for Proposed Assessment District No. 81:
• Resolution of Intention
December 9, 2003
• Property Owner Information Meeting
February 12, 2004
• Public Hearing

Connections
• Property Owners Complete Conversions
• Public Utilities Begin to Remove Overhead
February 2005 •
April 2005
Structures
• Public Utilities Finish Removing Poles and
May 2005
Overhead Structures
The Assessment Engineer has determined that all the lots in this District receiving
special benefit contain residences (single- family, duplexes, condominiums, apartments
etc.), except three City lots, therefore it is reasonable to spread the assessment using
an assessment unit (AU) formula where each lot is assessed relative to a 'standard'
residence with a 30 -foot wide frontage. In no case has an assessment been imposed
on any lot that exceeds the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred
on that lot.
The estimated assessment without the ITCC tax component ranges from $16,985.60 to
$69,527.71, with the average assessment being $24,793.00. The estimated
assessment with the ITCC tax component ranges from $19,164.37 to $78,446.16, with
the average assessment being $27,973.26.
Plans and specifications were prepared by the public utilities companies. Attached is a
sketch showing the boundary of the proposed District and the utilities to be
undergrounded.
An Agreement is necessary in order to retain Special Counsel to provide legal services
in connection with processing of the assessment proceedings and bond issuance. The

• ENGINEER'S "REPORT"
EXHIBIT "A"
CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH
ASSESSMENT DISTRICT NO. 81
(River Avenue from 38th Street to Channel Place and
Charnel Place from Balboa Boulevard to 43rd Street)
METHOD AND FORMULA OF ASSESSMENT SPREAD
Article XIIID requires and the statutes provide that assessments, as levied pursuant to the
provisions of the "Municipal Improvement Act of 1913 ", must be based on the special benefit
that the properties receive from the works of improvement. It is necessary that the property
owners receive a special and direct benefit distinguished from that of the general public. The
law does not specify the method or formula that should be used in any special assessment
district proceedings, and that responsibility rests with the Assessment Engineer, who is
appointed for the purpose of making the analysis of the facts and determining the correct
• apportionment of the assessment obligation. The goal is to apportion the assessments to each
parcel in direct proportion with the special benefit that the parcel will receive from the
improvements. For these proceedings, GFB- Friedrich & Assoc., Inc. has been appointed to
perform the functions of Assessment Engineer.
The special benefits that inure to the properties within the boundary of Assessment District No.
81 are threefold; first, the undergrounding of existing overhead electrical and telephone lines,
the removal of supporting poles, and the construction of a new and improved underground
electrical and telephone system will result in enhanced service, reliability and capacity; second,
the improvements increase safety; and third, removal of existing poles and overhead wires will
aesthetically enhance all parcels adjacent to the improvements.
Because all of the lots receiving special benefit from the proposed improvements contain
residences (single - family, duplexes, condominiums, apartments, etc.), except three City lots
(see below), it is reasonable and our conclusion to spread the assessments using an assessment
unit (AU) formula where each lot is assessed relative to a "standard" residence with a 30 -foot
frontage (1.0 AU) within the Assessment District that receives a full measure of special
benefit. The construction cost and proportionate share of the incidental costs for bid items will,
therefore, be spread on an assessment unit basis to those areas or sub -areas of the Assessment
District that specially benefit from the works of improvement. Because the benefit from
improved electric and telephone service, safety and aesthetics is specific to each lot, there is no
general benefit component that is received by lots outside of the Assessment District boundary
or by the general public. The special benefit received from the above -cited works of
improvement is estimated to be in direct proportion to the number of assessment units (AU's)
allocated to each lot as described below.
The proportionate special benefit that each lot receives is based upon the fact that each lot •
receives approximately the same special benefit from the new electric and telephone
distribution facilities that are proposed to be constructed and by the removal of the existing
overhead distribution facilities. The assessment unit (AU) formula to be used throughout the
Assessment District is given below. Please refer to the Assessment Diagram for the location of
existing overhead facilities.
Land Use Assessment Basis
"Standard" Residence /Duplex /Triplex 1.0 AU /30 foot lot
2 Residential Room Rental /Apartment Units 1.0 AU /30 foot lot
3 Residential Room Rental /Apartment Units 1.0 AU /30 foot lot
Condominium Unit 0.8 AU /30 foot lot /unit
Municipal Park (Channel Place Park) Front Footage of
(Since the park receives an electrical service drop undergrounded utility
only, the assessment will be based on one -half of lines divided by 30 feet
the front footage) equals equivalent AU's
Street Right -of -way Lots (2 each) 0.0 AU /lot
The number of AU's for lots or parcels with front footage in excess of 30 feet shall be
determined by dividing the number of front feet by 30 feet (e.g., a lot with 40 feet of
frontage will be assessed for 40 feet _ 30 feet /AU or 1.33 AU).
The assessment on each parcel shall not be less than the equivalent standard assessment
times the number of service drops provided to said parcel. Said equivalent standard
assessment is based on the assessment for one service drop, as defined in the next
paragraph, to a "standard" residential parcel with a 30 -foot frontage.
A service drop is defined as an electric service line and a telephone service line constructed
to the property line of a parcel or lot. A single residential service drop is based on service
to a "standard" residence with 30 feet of frontage. A service drop for a multiple -unit
residential /apartment complex or a larger commercial use may require larger service lines
to meet user demands.
A parcel that receives only electric service or only telephone service will be assessed at
one -half of the amount of a parcel receiving both electric and telephone services.
In anticipation that a lot or parcel that receives no assessment or a partial assessment in this
Assessment District has a residence or commercial building constructed on it in the future
that requires full electric and /or telephone service, the City in conjunction with the utility
companies, will charge sufficient fees and construction costs to the property owner(s) of
such a lot or parcel to effect equity with the other lots or parcels that received assessments
for similar facilities in this Assessment District. Some or all of said fees and construction
12
E
i
costs may be used to pay down the assessments on the other parcels within the Assessment
District on a pro -rata basis.
Some of the lots and parcels, identified by their Assessor Parcel Numbers, within the boundary
of the proposed assessment district require special consideration, as follows:
Assessor
Parcel No. Land Use
Description
423 - 294 -01 Single - family This parcel is triangular in shape with 3,060 s.f. of
Residential area. To determine the number of AU's that are
comparable to rectangular lots nearby, it's area
(3,060 s.f.) is divided by the area of a parcel with
30 feet of frontage (3,000 s.f. /AU) and the result
is 1.02 AU. This parcel also will have a guy pole
remaining at its corner. A 20 percent reduction in
its assessment is given to this parcel as a result of
the remaining guy pole for a total assessment of
0.82 AU.
432 - 292 -01 Single - family This parcel is triangular in shape with 3,631 s.f. of
Residential area. To determine the number of AU's that are
comparable to rectangular lots nearby, it's area
(3,631 s.f.) is divided by the area of a parcel with
30 feet of frontage (3,000 s.f. /AU) and the result
is 1.21 AU to be assessed to this parcel,
A lot with a front footage greater than 30 feet will have its front footage divided by 30 feet /AU
to obtain an equivalent AU value to determine its assessment (e.g., 45 feet of frontage divided
by 30 feet /AU equals 1.5 AU).
It must be noted that there are five segments of overhead electrical /telephone lines that will be
undergrounded as part of this project that each extend from the alleys between 38th Street and
39th Street, 39th Street and 40th Street, 40th Street and 41st Street, 42nd Street and 43rd
Street, and 43rd Street and 44th Street. This undergrounding will take place between the
existing poles (which will remain) located in the alleys between the last pair of lots next to
River Avenue and the electric /telephone lines which will be undergrounded on the north side
of River Avenue (Please refer to the Assessment Diagram in Part V of this Report for
clarification). Although undergrounding will take place between said last pair of lots in each
alley, the electric and telephone service line drops to each of said last pair of lots will still be
provided from the remaining overhead facilities in the alleys. Therefore, there will be no
special benefit accruing to said last pairs of lots from the works of improvement in this
District. At such time as an undergrounding assessment district is formed in the future to
underground the remainder of the overhead facilities in the alleys, said last pairs of lots will be
assessed for the undergrounded improvements in that future assessment district.
13
During the time that this Engineer's Report was being written, a variety of other assessment
formulae were considered. 0
Front footage was considered as a method of spreading assessments but was rejected
because several of the lots have front footages that are not reflective of the special
benefit gained from the type of proposed improvements.
Acreage was rejected as a method of spreading assessments because of the difference in
size among the lots within the District. The use of an acreage formula would not reflect
the special benefit derived from undergrounded electrical and telephone improvements.
In conclusion, it is my opinion that the assessments for the above - referenced Assessment
District have been spread in direct proportion to the special benefits that each lot or parcel
receives from the works of improvement. It is my further opinion that:
a. The proportionate special benefit derived by each identified lot has been determined in
relationship to the entirety of the cost of the construction of the works of improvement.
b. No assessment has been imposed on any lot that exceeds the reasonable cost of the
proportional special benefit conferred on that lot.
c. Only special benefits have been assessed.

ANNUAL ADMINISTRATIVE ASSESSMENT
A proposed maximum annual administrative assessment shall be levied on each parcel of land
and subdivision of land with the Assessment District to pay for necessary costs and expenses
incurred by the City of Newport Beach, and not otherwise reimbursed, resulting from the
administration and collection of assessments, from the administration or registration of any
bonds and reserve or other related funds, or both. The maximum assessment is authorized
pursuant to the provisions of Section 10204(f) of the Streets and Highways Code and shall not
exceed fifty dollars ($50) per parcel per year, subject to an annual increase based on the
Consumer Price Index (CPI), during the preceding year ending in January, for all Urban
Consumers in the Orange, Los Angeles, and Riverside County areas. The exact amount of the .
administration charge will be established each year by the Superintendent of Streets.
The annual administrative assessment will be collected in the same manner and in the same
installments as the assessment levied to pay for the cost of the works of improvement.

engineering plans and submit guaranteed prices to underground the utilities. $16,775.00
is being expended by the Assessment Engineer for preparation of the engineer's report
and assistance with processing the Assessment District.
DISCUSSION:
Proposed Assessment District No. 81 is being formed for the conversion of existing
overhead utilities to underground locations. The property owners within the boundary
of the proposed Assessment District will bear the cost of the improvements and all
associated proceedings.
The procedure being used to create the Assessment District is outlined in the Municipal
Improvement Act of 1913. Bonds issued under the Improvement Bond Act of 1915,
with a term of 15 years, will be issued to finance assessments that are not paid in cash
within 30 days after confirmation of the assessment.
The total assessment for Proposed Assessment District No. 81 is estimated as follows:
ITEM ESTIMATED COST
Estimated Cost of Construction $747,028.50
Estimated Incidental Costs and Expenses $101,250.00
Estimated Financing (Bond) Costs $116,928.20
Federal Income Tax Component of Contribution (ITCC) $97,777.02
Estimated Total Cost: $1,062,983.74
The estimate includes the Federal Income Tax Component of Contribution (ITCC) Tax,
which is a betterment tax. However, bonds will not be sold for the ITCC Tax because it
is the belief of the City that underground utility districts are undertaken at the request of
the community for purposes of community aesthetics and public safety, not for the
benefit of particular customers of the utility in their capacity as customer of the utility.
This Underground District is not required as a condition for obtaining any electrical
service.
If the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), State, City and/or local government taxing
authority determines that this project is taxable, Southern California Edison (SCE)
requires the City of Newport Beach to reimburse SCE for the full amount of the tax
liability determined by the IRS, State, City and /or local government authority, plus
interest, penalties, fees, and related costs. The City will sell a second issue of the
bonds, if necessary, to pay SCE within 60 days after they notify the City of Newport
Beach.
The ITCC tax associated with this District is approximately $97,777.02 which the City
would be liable for, plus penalties if the IRS should determine the district was not
exempt from the tax.

The Assistant City Attorney reviewed SCE's request to have the preceding statement
included in the Assessment District Report and felt it was unlikely the City would incur
any tax liability.
In addition to the assessment, each property owner will be responsible for converting
their service connection to receive underground service.
The Bond Reserve will be 5 percent for the subject district.
Property owners who pay assessments in cash will receive a discount, which
represents the cost of issuing and servicing bonds.

The Assessment Engineer has determined that all the lots in this District receiving
special benefit contain residences (single - family, duplexes, condominiums, apartments
etc.), except three City lots, therefore it is reasonable to spread the assessment using
an assessment unit (AU) formula where each lot is assessed relative to a 'standard'
residence with a 30 -foot wide frontage. In no case has an assessment been imposed
on any lot that exceeds the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred
on that lot.
The estimated assessment without the ITCC tax component ranges from $16,985.60 to
$69,527.71, with the average assessment being $24,793.00. The estimated
assessment with the ITCC tax component ranges from $19,164.37 to $78,446.16, with
the average assessment being $27,973.26.
Plans and specifications were prepared by the public utilities companies. Attached is a
sketch showing the boundary of the proposed District and the utilities to be
undergrounded.
An Agreement is necessary in order to retain Special Counsel to provide legal services
in connection with processing of the assessment proceedings and bond issuance. The

ENGINEER'S "REPORT"
EXHIBIT "A"
CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH
ASSESSMENT DISTRICT NO. 81
(River Avenue from 38th Street to Channel Place and
'Channel Place front Balboa Boulevard to 43rd Street)
METHOD AND FORMULA OF ASSESSMENT SPREAD
Article XIIID requires and the statutes provide that assessments, as levied pursuant to the
provisions of the "Municipal Improvement Act of 1913 ", must be based on the special benefit
that the properties receive from the works of improvement. It is necessary that the property
owners receive a special and direct benefit distinguished from that of the general public. The
law does not specify the method or formula that should be used in any special assessment
district proceedings, and that responsibility rests with the Assessment Engineer, who is
appointed for the purpose of making the analysis of the facts and determining the correct
• apportionment of the assessment obligation. The goal is to apportion the assessments to each
parcel in direct proportion with the special benefit that the parcel will receive from the
improvements. For these proceedings, GFB- Friedrich & Assoc., Inc. has been appointed to
perform the functions of Assessment Engineer.
The special benefits that inure to the properties within the boundary of Assessment District No.
81 are threefold; first, the undergrounding of existing overhead electrical and telephone lines,
the removal of supporting poles, and the construction of a new and improved underground
electrical and telephone system will result in enhanced service, reliability and capacity; second,
the improvements increase safety; and third, removal of existing poles and overhead wires will
aesthetically enhance all parcels adjacent to the improvements.
Because all of the lots receiving special benefit from the proposed improvements contain
residences (single - family, duplexes, condominiums, apartments, etc.), except three City lots
(see below), it is reasonable and our conclusion to spread the assessments using an assessment
unit (AU) formula where each lot is assessed relative to a "standard" residence with a 30 -foot
frontage (1.0 AU) within the Assessment District that receives a full measure of special
benefit. The construction cost and proportionate share of the incidental costs for bid items will,
therefore, be spread on an assessment unit basis to those areas or sub -areas of the Assessment
District that specially benefit from the works of improvement. Because the benefit from
improved electric and telephone service, safety and aesthetics is specific to each lot, there is no
general benefit component that is received by lots outside of the Assessment District boundary
or by the general public. The special benefit received from the above -cited works of
improvement is estimated to be in direct proportion to the number of assessment units (AU's)
allocated to each lot as described below.
11
The proportionate special benefit that each lot receives is based upon the fact that each lot
receives approximately the same special benefit from the new electric and telephone
distribution facilities that are proposed to be constructed and by the removal of the existing
overhead distribution facilities. The assessment unit (AU) formula to be used throughout the
Assessment District is given below. Please refer to the Assessment Diagram for the location of
existing overhead facilities.
Land Use Assessment Basis
"Standard" Residence /Duplex /Triplex 1.0 AU /30 foot lot
2 Residential Room Rental /Apartment Units 1.0 AU /30 foot lot
3 Residential Room Rental /Apartment Units 1.0 AU /30 foot lot
Condominium Unit 0.8 AU /30 foot lot/unit
Municipal Park (Channel Place Park) Front Footage of
(Since the park receives an electrical service drop undergrounded utility
only, the assessment will be based on one -half of lines divided by 30 feet
the front footage) equals equivalent AU's
Street Right -of -way Lots (2 each) 0.0 AU /lot
The number of AU's for lots or parcels with front footage in excess of 30 feet shall be .
determined by dividing the number of front feet by 30 feet (e.g., a lot with 40 feet of
frontage will be assessed for 40 feet - 30 feet/AU or 1.33 AU).
The assessment on each parcel shall not be less than the equivalent standard assessment
times the number of service drops provided to said parcel. Said equivalent standard
assessment is based on the assessment for one service drop, as defined in the next
paragraph, to a "standard" residential parcel with a 30 -foot frontage.
A service drop is defined as an electric service line and a telephone service line constructed
to the property line of a parcel or lot. A single residential service drop is based on service
to a "standard" residence with 30 feet of frontage. A service drop for a multiple -unit
residential /apartment complex or a larger commercial use may require larger service lines
to meet user demands.
A parcel that receives only electric service or only telephone service will be assessed at
one -half of the amount of a parcel receiving both electric and telephone services.
In anticipation that a lot or parcel that receives no assessment or a partial assessment in this
Assessment District has a residence or commercial building constructed on it in the future
that requires full electric and /or telephone service, the City in conjunction with the utility
companies, will charge sufficient fees and construction costs to the property owner(s) of
such a lot or parcel to effect equity with the other lots or parcels that received assessments
for similar facilities in this Assessment District. Some or all of said fees and construction
12
0
•
costs may be used to pay down the assessments on the other parcels within the Assessment
District on a pro -rata basis.
Some of the lots and parcels, identified by their Assessor Parcel Numbers, within the boundary
of the proposed assessment district require special consideration, as follows:
Assessor
Parcel No. Land Use
Description
423 - 294 -01 Single - family This parcel is triangular in shape with 3,060 s.f. of
Residential area. To determine the number of AU's that are
comparable to rectangular lots nearby, it's area
(3,060 s.f.) is divided by the area of a parcel with
30 feet of frontage (3,000 s.f. /AU) and the result
is 1.02 AU. This parcel also will have a guy pole
remaining at its corner. A 20 percent reduction in
its assessment is given to this parcel as a result of
the remaining guy pole for a total assessment of
0.82 AU.
432 - 292 -01 Single - family This parcel is triangular in shape with 3,631 s.f. of
Residential area. To determine the number of AU's that are
comparable to rectangular lots nearby, it's area
(3,631 s.f.) is divided by the area of a parcel with
30 feet of frontage (3,000 s.f. /AU) and the result
is 1.21 AU to be assessed to this parcel.
A lot with a front footage greater than 30 feet will have its front footage divided by 30 feet /AU
to obtain an equivalent AU value to determine its assessment (e.g., 45 feet of frontage divided
by 30 feet /AU equals 1.5 AU).
It must be noted that there are five segments of overhead electrical /telephone lines that will be
undergrounded as part of this project that each extend from the alleys between 38th Street and
39th Street, 39th Street and 40th Street, 40th Street and 41st Street, 42nd Street and 43rd
Street, and 43rd Street and 44th Street. This undergrounding will take place between the
existing poles (which will remain) located in the alleys between the last pair of lots next to
River Avenue and the electric /telephone lines which will be undergrounded on the north side
of River Avenue (Please refer io the Assessment Diagram in Part V of this Report for
clarification). Although undergrounding will take place between said last pair of lots in each
alley, the electric and telephone service line drops to each of said last pair of lots will still be
provided from the remaining overhead facilities in the alleys. Therefore, there will be no
special benefit accruing to said last pairs of lots from the works of improvement in this
District. At such time as an undergrounding assessment district is formed in the future to
underground the remainder of the overhead facilities in the alleys, said last pairs of lots will be
assessed for the undergrounded improvements in that future assessment district.
13
During the time that this Engineer's Report was being written, a variety of other assessment
formulae were considered.
Front footage was considered as a method of spreading assessments but was rejected
because several of the lots have front footages that are not reflective of the special
benefit gained from the type of proposed improvements.
Acreage was rejected as a method of spreading assessments because of the difference in
size among the lots within the District. The use of an acreage formula would not reflect
the special benefit derived from undergrounded electrical and telephone improvements.
In conclusion, it is my opinion that the assessments for the above - referenced Assessment
District have been spread in direct proportion to the special benefits that each lot or parcel
receives from the works of improvement. It is my further opinion that:
a. The proportionate special benefit derived by each identified lot has been determined in
relationship to the entirety of the cost of the construction of the works of improvement.
b. No assessment has been imposed on any lot that exceeds the reasonable cost of the
proportional special benefit conferred on that lot.
c. Only special benefits have been assessed.

will inspect the work for conformance to applicable City standards and specifications. Once
completed, the underground electric, telephone and cable TV facilities will become the

Each owner of property located within the Assessment District will be responsible for
arranging for, and paying for, work on his or her property necessary to connect facilities
constructed by the public utilities in the public streets or easements to the points of connection
on private property. Conversion of individual service connections on private property is not
included in the work done by the Assessment District.
The estimated time for completion of the undergrounding of the utilities is six (6) months after
the sale of bonds. Property owners will be required to provide necessary underground
connections within 120 calendar days of the completion of the underground facilities.

Failure to convert individual service connections on private property may result in a
recommendation to the City Council that the public utility companies be directed to discontinue
service to that property. Overhead facilities cannot be removed until all overhead service has
been discontinued.

SECTION 6. Conflicts. 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. Counsel hereby agrees to inform City in advance of any potential representation Counsel plans to
undertake on behalf of other parties or entities involved in the matters contemplated by this agreement.
SECTION 7. Termination. Eitherparty may terminate this Agreement by giving seven (7) calendar
days written notice thereof to the other party.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be executed on the day and year
first hereinabove written.
