WHEREAS, on April 4th, 2001, by its Resolution No. 356, after receiving a weighted majority of 58.7% of ballots in support of the proposed assessment, which included an annual adjustment as described below under Section 5 hereof (the “Authorized Assessment”), the Board of Directors of the Pleasant Valley Recreation and Park District (the “Board”) ordered the formation of and levied the first assessment within the Pleasant Valley Recreation and Park District, Park Maintenance and Recreation Improvement Assessment District (the "District") pursuant to the provisions of Article XIIID of the California Constitution, and the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 (the "Act"), Part 2 of Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code (commencing with Section 22500 thereof); and
WHEREAS, by Resolution No. 797, the Board ordered the preparation of an Engineer's Report for the District for fiscal year 2026-27; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to said Resolution, the Engineer's Report was prepared by SCI Consulting Group, Engineer of Work, in accordance with 22623, et. seq., of the Streets and Highways Code (the "Report") and Article XIIID of the California Constitution; and
WHEREAS, said Engineer's Report was filed with the Clerk of the Board of Directors and the Board of Directors has reviewed the Report and wishes to take certain actions relative to said Report.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE PLEASANT VALLEY RECREATION AND PARK DISTRICT, CALIFORNIA, DOES RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The Report for the "PARK MAINTENANCE AND RECREATION IMPROVEMENT ASSESSMENT DISTRICT", on file with the Clerk of the Board, has been duly considered by the Board of Directors and is hereby deemed sufficient and approved. The Report shall stand as the Engineer's Report for all subsequent proceedings under, and pursuant to, the foregoing resolution.
SECTION 2. It is the intention of this Board to continue to levy and collect assessments within the Assessment District for fiscal year 2026-27. Within the District, the work and improvements (the “Improvements”) proposed to be undertaken by the District, are generally described as installation, maintenance and servicing of public facilities, including but not limited to, playing fields, playground equipment, hard court surfaces, irrigation and sprinkler systems, landscaping, turf and track facilities, gymnasiums, swimming pools, landscaping, sprinkler systems, park grounds, park facilities, landscape corridors, and trails, as applicable, for property owned or maintained by the Pleasant Valley Recreation and Park District. Maintenance means the furnishing of services and materials for the ordinary and usual maintenance, operation and servicing of said improvements, including repair, removal, or replacement of all or part of any improvement; providing for the life, growth, health and beauty of landscaping; and cleaning, sandblasting and painting of walls and other improvements to remove or cover graffiti. Servicing means the furnishing of electric current or energy for the operation or lighting of any improvements, and water for irrigation of any landscaping or the maintenance of any other Improvement.
SECTION 3. The District consists of the lots and parcels shown on the boundary map of the District on file with the Clerk of the Board, and reference is hereby made to such map for further particulars.
SECTION 4. Reference is hereby made to the Engineer’s Report for a full and detailed description of the Improvements, the boundaries of the District and the proposed assessments upon assessable lots and parcels of land within the District. The Engineer’s Report identifies all parcels which will have a special benefit conferred upon them and upon which an assessment will be imposed.
SECTION 5. The Authorized Assessment is subject to an annual adjustment tied to the Consumer Price Index-U for the Los Angeles Area, as published by United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, as of December of each succeeding year (the “CPI”), with a maximum annual adjustment not to exceed 3%. Any change in the CPI in excess of 3% shall be cumulatively reserved as the “Unused CPI” and shall be used to increase the maximum authorized assessment rate in years in which the CPI is less than 3%. The maximum authorized assessment rate is equal to the maximum assessment rate in the first fiscal year the assessment was levied adjusted annually by the minimum of 1) 3% or 2) the change in the CPI plus any Unused CPI as described above.
The change in the CPI from December 2024 to December 2025 was 3.01%. Therefore, the maximum authorized assessment rate for fiscal year 2026-27 is increased by 3.00% which equates to $50.46 per single family equivalent benefit unit. Single family equivalent values for different property types, such as commercial and industrial land uses are described in the Engineer’s Report. The estimate of cost and budget in the Engineer’s Report proposes assessments for fiscal year 2026-27 at the rate of $50.46.
SECTION 6. Notice is hereby given that on June 3, 2026, at the hour of 6:00 o'clock p.m. at the City of Camarillo Chambers, 601 Carmen Drive, Camarillo, California the Board of Directors will hold a public hearing to consider the ordering of the Improvements and the continuation of the proposed assessments.
SECTION 7. Prior to the conclusion of the hearing, any interested person may file a written protest with the Clerk of the Board, or, having previously filed a protest, may file a written withdrawal of that protest. A written protest shall state all grounds of objection. A protest by a property owner shall contain a description sufficient to identify the property owned by such owner. Such protest or withdrawal of protest should be mailed to Pleasant Valley Recreation and Park District, 1605 East Burnley Street, Camarillo, CA 93010.
