ordinance is needed to protect neighborhoods and is also another tool
to help control the situation.

protest have been received and should be placed in the record.
City Engineer Perlin also noted two protests letters were given to him
at the meeting. Mr. Perlin presented the staff report. He reviewed
the number of protests in each zone, noting there is not a majority
protest in any zone. Mr. Perlin noted this is the first year notices
were sent out to property owners and as a result staff received greater
interest. Mr. Perlin presented slides reviewing preliminary
assessments and final assessments in all zones. He also outlined how
assessments have escalated and decreased over the years. Mr. Perlin
reviewed the "Activities by Zone", and the cost associated.
Mayor Tucker opened the public hearing at 8:50 p.m.
Mr. Joseph Masek, 14660 Granite Way, stated his opposition to the
assessment. He stated they do their own landscaping and cleaning and
also provide lighting for the driveway and part of the parking lot. He
City Council Minutes 6 July 7, 1993
does not feel the tax should be increased.
Mr. Jim Rosenfeld, 14219 Okanogan Dr., stated he pays $40,000 in taxes
and this is additional taxes. He suggested consideration be given to
spreading out the maintenance portion. He believes the vast majority
of tenants in surrounding buildings park in the parking lot. He asked
the City Council to look into sharing the costs with these tenants.
Mr. Len Sullivan, 14421 Big Basin Way~ concurred with Mr. Rosenfeld
regarding spreading out the costs of maintenance.
Ms. Carol Payne, 14455 Big Basin Way, noted she has to raise rents to
keep up with the tax increases. She added it hurts the City to have
empty buildings, and for the survival of the business district in
Saratoga, the Council should not raise taxes.
Mr. Dennis Cunningham, 14407' Big Basin Way, stated there is a 33%
vacancy rate and he has to lower rents in order to get tenants. He
noted increasing the assessment is difficult for the property owner and
tenant.
Ms. Lea Ann Hernandez, 18926 Afton Ave., Saratoga Motel, addressed the
previously passed occupancy tax, and noted this is an additional tax.
She noted costs should be passed onto other users of the parking lot.
Mr. John Irwin, 14612 Big Basin Way, urged the City Council to take a
close look at the assessment. He noted the additional taxes will be
passed onto the tenants.
Mr. Robert Cancellieri-, 14441, 14445 Big Basin Way, addressed the
original 15 year assessment. He noted the additional tax will not help
sales in Saratoga, and therefore not help the City. He noted the
parking district is not maintainedat its original level.
Mr. Alden BlOxham, 14413 Big Basin Way, outlined the property his wife
owns, which was responsible for the formation of parking district 3 and
noted the improvements are paid for by this assessment. He stated the
lighting.and landscaping are additional expenses. Mr. Bloxham noted he
takes care of hie own landscaping. He also stated the City Council has
total control over the assessments and the citizens can do nothing. He
urged the Council not to increase the assessment until the 15 year
assessment has been paid.
Mr. Otto Crawford stated they do have a majority protest.
Mr. Paul Hernandez, La Vista Dr., asked what the assessment is for and
how much is for maintenance or new development.
City Engineer Perlin stated in the parking district the assessment is
for maintenance and operation, with the primary cost being for
lighting. He added other costs go for landscaping and weekly sweeping.
He noted in Zone 0 the assessment is for lighting along Big Basin Way
andmaintenance and watering of street trees. Mr. Perlin reviewed the
cost for Zone 20.
In response to Councilmember Anderson's concerns, Mr. Perlin stated
that the assessment in districts 2, 3 and 4 in previous years was not
high enough to recover costs. He noted the cost this year will reflect
the cost of providing the services to these districts. Mr. Perlin
reviewed the breakdown in costs for Zone 20.
Mayor Tucker reiterated that the increase in assessment involves two
factors, the cost recovery policy, implemented by the City Council, and
the street sweeping.
City Engineer Perlin explained the contingency allowance, noting this
does not affect Zone 20.
Mr. Otto Crawford addressed the cost breakdown of parking district 3.
He stated every item is well funded and the sweeping they can do
without. He stated there is no reason for the reserve fund. Mr.
City Council Minutes 7 July 7, 1993
Crawford stated the landscaping has been taken care of by property
owners and he would like the assessment reduced.
Mayor Tucker closed the public hearing at 9:25 p.m.
The public hearing was reopened.
Ms. Ellen Rosner, Zone 22, protested the assessmenti She addressed the
State Budget and asked why the State is taking so much money from the
City.
Councilmember Tucker stated the city's hands are tied with regards to
the State taking money from City funds.
City Manager Peacock noted the State has taken $2.6 Billion away from
cities, counties and special districts.
Councilmember Kohler stated the City has to assess the taxes, but must
work carefully to do it the right way. He expressed concern about the
high rate.
Mr. Bloxham expressed concern about the high assessment for zone 20.
He believes that some money could be saved.
ANDERSON/BURGER MOVED TO CLOSE T~E PUBLIC HEARING. PASSED 4-0-1 (Monia
absent).
In response to City Manager Peacock's question, Mr. Perlin stated the
current fund balance for the assessment district is $150,000.
Mr. Peacock stated that Mr. Perlin pointed out that the cost to
maintain the districts is an on-going cost and the tax assessment is
only paid twice a year. He noted the operating reserve pays the on-
going costs and the question is, is there enough money in this fund.
Mr. Peacock stated there is enough money to cover on-going costs and if
the reserve fund was cut and the street sweeping costs cut, the
assessment could be reduced to last year's assessment. He noted the
City Council can consider this and direct the City Engineer to draw up
a report reflecting this. Mr. Peacock noted some of the districts are
supported by property tax, because these districts were formed before
Prop. 13 was enacted. He noted while the property tax remains at one
percent, a portion of the property tax goes to support the landscaping
and lighting district. me stated because the rate was frozen by Prop.
13, in many of the districts the assessed valuation on the land and the
improvements have increased significantly because of sale of property
or reconstruction. He stated staff has been discussing the issue this
raises and how to deal with it in the long run. He noted the method
established will stabilize the assessments unless improvements are
requested by the neighborhood and this will be added to the assessment.
Mr. Peacock stated if costs can be covered without the reserve, he
would recommend eliminating the reserves in all the zone districts.
City Engineer Perlin stated the three month reserve can be eliminated
from all zone districts if requested by the Council.
Councilmember Burger expressed concern about eliminating the weekly
sweeping and the impact this would have on the City's requirement to
reduce pollutants that go through the storm drain system.
City Manager Peacock stated in adopting the budget this year the
Council did agree to start street sweeping city wide. He noted it will
be approximately $7 - $8 per year per household. He stated most of the
cost associated with the parking lots is for trash clean up and not the
maintenance of landscaping.
Councilmember Burger noted she did walk parking district 3 with the
property owners and staff, and staff agreed to do some small
landscaping improvements. She noted Saratoga parking lots look good
compared to other cities. Councilmember Burger stated if staff
believes the reserves can be eliminated and the property owners will do
their own sweeping she would support these. She did express concern
City Council Minutes S July 7, 1993
about the non-point source pollutants.
Councilmember Anderson expressed concern about the indirect costs in
all the zones.
City Manager Peacock stated the indirect costs are associated with the
actual wages.
City Engineer Perlin stated the parking districts are the only areas in
which the City maintenance personnel preforms services and noted the
indirect cost is a direct function of those wages.
In response to Councilmember Kohler's question regarding businesses
using the parking districts and not sharing the costs, Mr. Peacock
stated this is part of the issue of consolidating zones and the excess
property tax money. He noted the landscaping and Lighting Act allows
the City to modify zones for administrative purposes. Mr. Peacock also
pointed out that if the City Council changes the proposed resolution
the City Engineer will have to revise the Engineer's Report and prepare
new charts showing the new assessment.
City Engineer Perlin pointed out that last year the total cost that was
spread among zone 20 was $20,906, this year if the reserve is
eliminated the figure would be $21,252. He added because of the
proximity of the parking lot to the creek he would recommend keeping
the cost of street sweeping in the budget.
ANDERSON/KOHLER MOVED, AS A MODIFICATION, THAT THE RESERVE BE
ELIMINATED IN ALL ZONE DISTRICTS. PASSED 4-0-1 (Monia absent).
ANDERSON/BURGER MOVED TO DIRECT STAFF TO LOOK INTO MERGING DISTRICTS TO
LOWER THE COSTS. PASSED 4-0-1 (Monia absent).
