QUARTERLY NEWSLETTER

Message from the Town Council

As we embrace the vibrant days of summer, we are excited to share the latest updates and upcoming events that reflect our community’s spirit and growth.

The Town is committed to maintaining the beauty of our public spaces through the Lighting and Landscape Assessment District (LLAD). LLAD funding ensures our parks, streetlights, and landscaping remain in top condition. Learn more on Page 6 about how property assessment rates have not kept up with inflation, and how that now impacts our community.

Along Hartz Avenue, the Downtown Master Plan Catalyst Project has made significant progress. We anticipate wrapping before the winter holidays, and you can read about the improvements on Page 11. We are also making improvements Townwide through the Pavement Management Program, including improvements to San Ramon Valley Boulevard (Page 10).

This summer, enjoy the Music in the Park series and Moonlight Movies, with free events through August 3. Additionally, we hope you will stop by and see Botanica, the 14th Annual Juried Exhibition at the Village Theatre Art Gallery starting July 13.

GETTING PERMITS FOR SUMMER PROJECTS

Why do summer home projects from pools to outdoor kitchens need building permits? Securing a building permit before the start of your renovation allows the Town to ensure that your project is built under the current State of California building codes and that the proposed project meets the minimum state mandated health and safety standards. If you are planning on doing work to your home and have questions regarding whether your project will require permits, feel free to call our Permit Center at 925-314-3330.

TALK WITH THE MAYOR AUGUST 2

Be a part of the discussion during the next Town Talks with the Mayor. Watch on YouTube or Facebook as the Mayor discusses the latest Town news, including updates from the Downtown Master Plan construction project.

SIDEWALK TALK

Did you know that homeowners are responsible for maintaining sidewalks along their property? Each homeowner can do their part to keep neighborhoods safe and walkable by repairing and maintaining their sidewalks. To report a concern, visit www.danville.ca.gov/danvilleconnect.

SIGNS OF SUMMER

Between graduation and election seasons, lots of signs go up around Danville this time of year. Remember that temporary signs can only be placed on private property with the consent of the property owner, and must be less than six feet in area and height. No temporary signs can be placed in the public right-of-way or on any public structures (such as utility poles or boxes). And if you’re looking to show support for local candidates or causes, all political signs must be removed within 10 days after the election.

BOATS & RVS: GETTING READY FOR FUN

One more “sign” of summer is having a boat or RV getting packed up for fun. While boats and RVs must be screened from public view if being stored, they can be out for temporary loading and unloading. For RVs, residents can obtain and display a 3-day temporary parking permit from the Danville Police Department, which will allow the owner time to load and/or unload. The permit must be displayed in the front left corner of the windshield.

In2003, Facebook was only available to a handful of college students, and the iPod delighted music lovers with a scroll wheel and small gray screen. You probably owned a flip phone, and you may have voted to update a property assessment known as the LLAD. The Lighting and Landscape Assessment District is a way for property owners to help fund amenities that directly benefit their property, such as parks, community centers, and lighting. The reason we bring up 2003 is that this was the last time the assessment amount was changed, and just like technology, it’s time for an upgrade.

The Town has been studying costs for upcoming maintenance to Town amenities through its annual operating budget adoption process, and costs for maintenance and construction have risen sharply in recent years. The Town has also added amenities in the last 20 years, adding to the LLAD burden. To maintain the beauty and quality of life in Danville, additional funds are needed from the LLAD.

What role do homeowners play in maintaining Danville’s character and how is this funded?

Homeowners help ensure streets are well-lit, parks are maintained, and roadsides are landscaped, contributing to the Town’s overall appeal. This is funded through the Lighting and Landscape Assessment District (LLAD), which levies an annual assessment on property owners, appearing on their property tax bills.

What steps is the Town taking to address rising maintenance costs?

The Town is researching ways for the LLAD to keep pace with inflation and community needs, as maintenance costs have risen significantly.

How are the assessment amounts determined and used?

The assessment amount is based on factors like proximity to funded amenities. Funds are restricted to specific uses in the paying areas, kept separate from the Town’s general fund, and any changes must be approved by property owners.

Why is the LLAD important and how are its zones structured?

LLAD ensures well-maintained street lights, parks, and roadsides, enhancing the quality of life in Danville. The Town is divided into zones, with property owners in each zone paying for maintenance of amenities that directly benefit them.

Where can residents find information about the Town’s budget and revenue sources?

Information is available in the 2024-2025 annual Town budget at www.danville.ca.gov/budget.

What are the current LLAD rates and how have maintenance operating costs changed?

Annual assessments range from $166.50 to $305.80 per home, unchanged since 2003. However, maintenance costs have increased nearly 57% since then, while LLAD revenues have increased by just under 7.5%, putting more strain on the general fund.

2003-2024 COST COMPARISON OF COMMON GOODS

The Bay Area Consumer Price Index, which tracks costs of everything from milk to gasoline, has increased more than 76% since 2003.

*California Construction Cost Index is a numerical indicator of price trends for construction materials and labor.

Danville’s Senior Activities Shine!

Seniors of Danville have several summer activities to look forward to, each promising fun, engagement, and the opportunity to create community.

The Senior Variety Show on September 14 at the Village Theatre is a muchanticipated event that showcases the diverse talents of Danville’s senior community. This annual event invites seniors over 50 to perform acts ranging from dancing and singing to comedy and poetry readings. Auditions for the show are held on July 26. To learn more about this opportunity or to schedule your audition, contact Kellie Schuyler at kschuyler@danville.ca.gov or

925-314-3430. Tickets for the show will go on sale the first week of August at www.danville.ca.gov/tickets.

The Morning Mingle series offers seniors the opportunity to gather to enjoy coffee, pastries, and good company. This is a monthly event that offers a relaxed atmosphere for seniors to chat, share stories, and discuss interests. The next Morning Mingle is set for 9 a.m. on July 30 at the Danville Senior Center, providing a perfect start to the day with friendly faces and warm conversations.

September marks National Senior Center month, a time to celebrate the contributions of senior centers in

enhancing the lives of older adults. Here in Danville, our residents can take advantage of the local senior center through our health and fitness programs, special interest classes, and various social events. The Danville Senior Center also provides valuable resources such as the Senior Monday Lunch Program and free movie screenings, serving as a hub for seniors to connect with each other and access services that support healthy and independent living.

This year, Danville is excited to again host Walktober, encouraging participants to stay active and enjoy the outdoors throughout the month of October. This event aligns perfectly with the pleasant weather of Danville’s autumn, inviting seniors to participate in group walks that are as much about exercise as they are about socializing.

Whether it’s through showcasing talents, promoting health, or simply providing a space for a morning chat, Danville’s summer senior events are all about celebrating the golden years with zest and joy. For more information on these events and how to participate, residents can visit www.danville.ca.gov/seniors or contact the Danville Senior Center at 925-314-3430.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS :

COMING SOON TO A ROAD NEAR YOU

This summer, roads throughout Town will see improvements to surfaces and sidewalks. But did you know that pavement management is a data-driven process?

The Town of Danville uses engineering expertise and analytic software to determine when, how, and where to conduct pavement maintenance. To make best use of the $3 million average annual investment in Townmaintained roads, Town staff analyze pavement conditions based on a number of factors, including age, future construction, traffic loads, and available funding. The Town has approximately 158 centerline miles of local roadway, and with soaring construction costs and heavy storms, Town staff are working harder to stretch every pavement dollar.

The Pavement Management Program is part of the Town’s Capital Improvement Program. To manage

the program, the Town uses the standard measure of pavement quality called the Pavement Conditions Index (PCI) to rate our roads. On a simple 100-point scale, a new road has a PCI of 100, and the Town Council has adopted a minimum average target of 70 for all Town roads. Even as an established municipality with older pavement, Danville maintains roads to a higher PCI than is average across the Bay Area.

In fiscal year 2023-24, the Town completed pavement maintenance projects on approximately 135 roadways in Danville — in addition to ongoing street maintenance such as pothole repair. Two projects are scheduled for this summer (see below). For more information about the Town’s Pavement Management Program, including a list of streets included in the overlay projects below, visit www.danville.ca.gov/pavement.

VOLUNTEERS IN POLICING COMMUNITY PROGRAMS

The Danville Police Department would like to remind the community about two services provided by our Volunteers In Policing.

Vacation House Checks

For some peace of mind while you are away, you can schedule a vacation house check where one of our volunteer officers will drive by your home periodically and make sure everything looks secure.

Cop Cars to the Community

This program allows residents to request a volunteer patrol car to visit for a special event like a birthday party. Cop Cars to the Community is a great program for kids of any age who want to know more about law enforcement or want to see the lights and hear the siren on a police car!

Danville residents can access both of these programs at www.danville.ca.gov/vip.

The Downtown Master Plan Catalyst Project focuses on safety and community.

It’s been a busy three months of progress along Hartz Avenue. The Downtown Master Plan Catalyst Project is entering the summer with an eye on new gathering spaces and major safety improvements.

The Town of Danville chose to call the first phase of the Downtown Master Plan a “Catalyst Project” because not only will it be the first of future phases, but the Town seeks to continually invigorate the Downtown area by fostering safe and welcoming spaces for gathering and entertainment. The project serves as a catalyst for building community in Danville, and the construction plan prioritizes continued access and enjoyment of Downtown Danville over the course of the project.

Any construction project will cause some disruption, but careful planning means every precaution is being taken to provide continuity for our Downtown. The project phasing was split into two milestones, accommodating major events Downtown: the 4th of July Parade

and the Lighting of the Old Oak Tree event that kicks off the holiday shopping season. Work initiated in April that could have hindered a smooth parade had to be completed by July, leaving curbs and sidewalks ready for crowds. After the parade, work picked right back up again.

The project started with significant drainage, curb, brick and concrete work along Hartz Avenue at School Street and Church Street, creating safety improvements. These include “bulb-out” curbs near crosswalks to slow vehicles and improve visibility for both drivers and pedestrians. While the initial plan was to complete one intersection at a time, the Town decided to spread to additional intersections when a delay occurred. For example, when utility work was required at one intersection and could not be immediately scheduled, work jumped to a second intersection to avoid overall delays.

Now the focus shifts to the areas that must be completed prior to welcoming tens of thousands of visitors for the winter holidays. The Village Theatre Plaza and Prospect Park Plaza community spaces will be under construction by
