(a) The foregoing recitals are true and correct;
(b) The Report contains all matters required by Sections 22565 through
22574 of the Streets and Highways Code and Section 4 of Article XIIID
and may, therefore, be approved by the City Council;
(c) The additional assessment for fiscal year 2009-10 on all parcels within

assessment on all assessable lots and parcels of property within Zone 118 commencing
with the fiscal year 2009-10 as set forth in the Report. The Report expressly states that
there are no parcels or lots within Zone 118 that are owned by a federal, state or other
local governmental agency that will benefit from the services to be financed by the
annual assessments. The annual assessments will be collected at the same time and in
the same manner as property taxes are collected, and all laws providing for the
collection and enforcement of property taxes shall apply to the collection and
enforcement of said assessments.
SECTION 3. BOUNDARIES. All the property within the boundaries of Zone 118
of L&LMD No. 89-1-C are proposed to be annually assessed for the New Improvement
and shall include that property in the unincorporated area of the County as described

pollutants from water runoff.
SECTION 5. AMOUNT TO BE LEVIED. The assessment to be levied upon each
parcel that benefits from the New Improvement for Zone 118 of L&LMD No. 89-1-C will

the greater of two percent (2.0%) or the cumulative percentage increase, if any, in the
Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers ("CPI-U") for the Los Angeles-Riverside-
Orange County California Standard Metropolitan Statistical area ("Index") published by

larger than the greater of 2.0% or the CPI-U annual adjustment requires a majority
approval of all the property owners within Zone 118. The City Council will levy the
aggregate assessment in each subsequent fiscal year until the City Council undertakes
