WHEREAS, the City of Diamond Bar Landscaping Assessment District No. 39-
2022 ("District") was created pursuant to Part 2 of Division 15 of the California Streets
and Highways Code (§ 22500, et seq.), known as the Landscaping and Lighting Act of
1972 ("Act"); and
WHEREAS, NBS has been designated as Engineer of Work for purposes of these
proceedings (the "Engineer of Work") and ordered to prepare the Engineer's Report in
accordance with the Act; and
WHEREAS, the Engineer of Work has filed the Engineer's Report (the "Report")
with the City Clerk, copies of which have been submitted to this City Council, which Report
contains the information required by the Act, including: (a) a calculation of the portion of
the services to be provided by the District that constitute a special benefit to the parcels

listing of each lot or parcel of property that would be subject to the proposed assessment;
(d) the estimate of cost for the improvements; and (e) the amount of the proposed
assessment for each lot or parcel for the fiscal year 2025-26.
WHEREAS, all legal prerequisites to the adoption of this Resolution have
occurred.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Diamond
as follows:
Section 1. The Recitals, as set forth in this Resolution, are in all respects true
and correct.
Section 2. The above -described Report submitted by the Engineer of Work
relating to the District is hereby approved as filed.
Section 3. The Council hereby declares its intention to levy and collect
assessments during fiscal year 2025-26 pursuant to the Act, within that area designated
"City of Diamond Bar Landscaping Assessment District No. 39-2022," as shown on
Exhibit "A" attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
Section 4. A general description of the improvements proposed for the
aforementioned District is as follows:
Resolution No. 2025-23
Installation, maintenance and servicing of public and private areas and facilities,
including but not limited to, landscaping, sprinkler systems, landscape corridors, ground
cover, shrubs and trees, street frontages, drainage systems, lighting, fencing, graffiti
removal and repainting, labor, materials, supplies, utilities and equipment, as applicable,
for property owned and/or maintained by the City. Said installation, maintenance, and
servicing of the landscaping and related work shall be within the area of the District as
shown on Exhibit "A," as attached hereto and incorporated by reference. The location and
type of improvement are shown in Exhibit "A."
Section 5. Reference is hereby made to the Report relating to the District
hereinabove approved. Said Report is on file with the City Clerk of the City of Diamond
Bar and contains a full and detailed description of the improvements, the boundaries of
the District, and contains the proposed assessments upon assessable lots and parcels of
land within the District for fiscal year 2025-26. Said estimated cost results in a proposed
Single -Family Equivalent ("SFE") assessment rate of $566.57. The fiscal year 2025-26
assessment rate for Zone A is $566.57, for Zone B is $552.41, and for Zone C is $524.08.
Section 6. Said proposed assessments include an authorized annual increase
equal to the change in the Los Angeles -Riverside -Orange County Consumer Price Index
("CPI") per year without further vote or ballot proceeding as authorized by prior majority
approval of property owners. However, in January 2018, the Bureau of Labor Statistics
("BLS") updated their geographic areas for computing CPI. Previously, the Los Angeles -
Riverside -Orange County index was made up of Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San
Bernardino, and Ventura counties. The BLS divided this index into two areas; one that
represents Los Angeles and Orange counties (Los Angeles -Long Beach -Anaheim) and
another that represents Riverside and San Bernardino counties (Riverside -San
Bernardino -Ontario). This Council hereby appoints the CPI to be used for the calculation
of the assessments as the Los Angeles -Long Beach -Anaheim Index. The annual Los
Angeles -Long Beach -Anaheim CPI from December 2023 to December 2024 was 3.42%.
Section 7. This Council hereby fixes 6:30 p.m. on July 15, 2025, or as soon
thereafter as the matter may be heard, in the SCAQMD Auditorium located at 21865
Copley Drive, Diamond Bar, California, as the time and place for a hearing before this
Council on this question of the levy of the proposed assessments on assessable parcels
with the District for fiscal year 2025-26 and hereby gives notice of said hearing.
Section 8. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution, and
staff shall cause a true and correct copy of this Resolution to be published pursuant to
California Government Code § 6061.
