TS-5 (NW PROMENADE, PHASE 2) Fiscal Year 2000-2001 City of Bakersfield, Maintenance District No. TS-5 (NW Promenade, Phase 2), is generally described as a district bounded by a line 1/4 mile north of Rosedale Highway on the north, Main Plaza Drive on the east, Rosedale Highway on the south and a line 1/8 mile east of Calloway Drive on the west and as specifically shown on Map and Assessment Diagram marked Exhibit "B," attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference as though fully set forth, as a district within the City of Bakersfield. Pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 13.04 of Title 13 of the Municipal Code of the City of Bakersfield, referred to as the Maintenance District Procedure, the Public Works Director makes and files this Report and proposed assessment of and upon all parcels of property within the district for the cost of maintaining and operating a traffic signal located on Rosedale Highway at the main entrance to the NW Promenade Phase 2. The assessment includes the cost to operate, maintain, repair and replace signal poles, mast arms, signal heads, controller, cabinet, machine vision detection system, street light luminaires, conduits, wires and pull boxes, energy costs, supervision and any and all other items necessary for the proper maintenance and operation thereof. Developers often request permission to install traffic signals on major streets to enhance access to their development. These "convenience" traffic signals are not required by the Traffic Authority to regulate traffic flow, but are installed solely at the discretion of the developer. Such signals do not provide a general public traffic benefit. Under the "user pay" concept, the private property deriving benefits should bearthe costs of maintenance and operation of convenience traffic signals. On September 28, 1994 the City Council approved Resolution 161-94 instituting the collection of maintenance and operating costs for future convenience traffic signals through maintenance districts. The traffic signal that will be operated and maintained under the proposed maintenance district will benefit the parcels in the NW Promenade Phase 2. Each parcel will be assessed on a trip generation bases throughout the district. The Benefit Formula EXHIBIT "1" -1- is set forth herein as Exhibit "C" and attached hereto and incorporated in this resolution as though fully set forth herein. The estimated annual cost for maintenance and operation of the traffic signal is $3,000 to $4,000. All parcels within this district will have a zero assessment forthe 2000-2001 fiscal year. Any costs incurred in the 2000-2001 fiscal year will be carried over to the 2001-2002 fiscal year. NOW THEREFORE, I, I~AUL M. ROJAS, Director of Public Works of the City of Bakersfield, by virtue of the power vested in me and the order of the Council of said City, hereby submit the Fiscal Year 2000-2001 Budget and Assessment Roll as set forth in Exhibit "D" and Exhibit "E," respectively, attached hereto and incorporated herein as though fully set forth, upon all parcels of property within Maintenance District No. TS-5, (NW Promenade, Phase 2), subject to be assessed to pay the cost of maintenance and operation in said district.

ZZZZZZZZZZZ MAINTENANCE DISTRICT TS-5 (NW Promenade, Phase 2) CITY OF BAKERSFIELD BENEFIT FORMULA Each parcel shall be assessed a percentage of the total operating and maintenance cost* proportional to the trips generated by that parcel, adjusted for prior year fund balance or deficit. The amount to be assessed to each parcel is calculated as follows: (1) Calculate the total number of trips generated by each building using the City Average Daily Trips (ADT) rates. (2) Add the total number of trips (1) of all buildings in each parcel. (3) Add the total number of trips (2) of all buildings in all parcels. (4) Divide the total number of trips of each parcel (2) by the total number of trips in all parcels (3). This is the proportionate share of the total assessment for each parcel. (5) Multiply the result of (4) times the total cost of the district for each parcel. This is the amount to be assessed to each parcel. * Since Rosedale Highway is a state highway, the state pays 2/3rds of the cost of the signal operation and maintenance costs and the district pays 1/3rd. Assessment amounts could vary substantially during the initial development of the shopping center. Since only the developed parcels will generate traffic using the signalized intersection, those parcels will be responsible for the entire cost. The maximum yearly assessment per parcel shall not exceed $1,000. None of the parcels will be assessed in 2000-2001 since the signals were not in operation at the beginning of the fiscal year. Any costs incurred in the 2000-2001 fiscal year will be carried over and added to the 2001-2002 costs.
