Murrieta Office Dear Mr. Lennox:
41391 Kalmia Street 9320
Murrieta,CA 92562 As you are aware, Albert A. Webb Associates (WEBB) has been providing the Special
951.686.1070 District formation and administration on behalf of the City of Menifee for the previous
Fiscal Year. As such we have a tremendous amount of information that will provide as a
good basis to work with the City in evaluating the options available to take over
administration responsibilities for various Special Districts.
Special District Support
It is my understanding the City is interested in looking at various options available to
assume administration responsibilities of Special Districts within the City's boundaries. As
the City continues to be at the vortex of new development and as the City continues to
proceed with taking over its financial affairs and service management responsibilities it is
paramount that the City has a complete understanding of the overlapping Special Districts
of other entities that are providing similar/competing services to its community members
as well as understand and appreciate the alternatives available to the City for these types
of special district financings. In order to evaluate the alternatives the City will need to
understand the properties involved and gain knowledge of the types of services being
provided and their proximity to these Special Districts. We propose $24.000 for Special
District Transition Support Services with the Community Services Department to be billed
on a time and materials basis, billed monthly. There are a number of items we will need to
coordinate with the Community Services Department and Public Works in order to identify
the properties within the boundaries of these Districts and the maintenance service areas
within the Districts. Upon gathering the information we will conduct quantitative analysis
related to these special districts as well as GIS and mapping support that aids in providing
information related to cost/service budget needs and to the City Management and City
Council for discussions. The below scope of work.
