SUBJECT:

Levy of a Special Tax in Community Facilities District No. 70 (Avellino) for Fiscal Year 2023-2024.

RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt Resolution No. 2023-064, of the City Council of the City of Fontana, California, authorizing the Levy of Special Tax in Community Facilities District No. 70 (Avellino) for Fiscal Year 2023-2024.

COUNCIL GOALS:
· Practice sound fiscal management by fully funding liabilities and reserves. · Practice sound fiscal management by developing long-term funding and debt management plans.

DISCUSSION:

Community Facilities District No. 70 (Avellino) was established by Resolution No. 2012-90 on September 25, 2012, to finance public facilities and to pay annual landscape and lighting maintenance costs for the district. On July 24, 2013, the District issued $2,750,000 in Special Tax Bonds to finance the acquisition of certain major capital facilities (infrastructure) to serve properties within the District. The bonds were refunded in 2021 to take advantage of interest rate savings.

Pursuant to Government Code Section 53340, a resolution must be adopted by the City Council annually to levy a special tax to pay for the maturing principal and interest on the bonds. The rate and method of apportionment of the special tax was originally set forth in Ordinance No. 1670 approved and adopted by the City Council on October 9, 2012.

The special tax levied on each assessable parcel within the District is necessary to pay principal and interest on the outstanding bonded indebtedness and authorized administrative expenses (Facilities Special Tax A); and the annual landscape and lighting maintenance costs of the District (Services Special Tax B). The proposed Fiscal Year 2023-2024 special tax rates (Special Tax A and Special Tax B) are shown in Exhibit A, Schedule 2.

The proposed special tax rates for Fiscal Year 2023-2024 were developed according to the Rate and Method of Apportionment (Exhibit B) and are the same as the prior year.

The District was established after the adoption of Proposition 218 and complies with its requirements because the District and the special taxes were approved by the consent of the property owner at the time the District was formed.

SUBJECT:

Levy of a Special Tax in Community Facilities District No. 80 (Bella Strada) for Fiscal Year 2023- 2024.

RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt Resolution No. 2023-068, Authorizing the Levy of Special Tax in Community Facilities District No. 80 (Bella Strada) for Fiscal Year 2023-2024.

COUNCIL GOALS:
· Practice sound fiscal management by fully funding liabilities and reserves. · Practice sound fiscal management by developing long-term funding and debt management plans.

DISCUSSION:

Community Facilities District No 80 (Bella Strada) was established by Resolution No. 2015-021 on April 14, 2015, to finance public facilities and to pay annual landscape and lighting costs for the district. On August 15, 2017 the District issued $11,125,000 of Special Tax Bonds to finance the acquisition of certain major capital facilities (infrastructure) to serve properties within the District.

Pursuant to Government Code Section 53340, a resolution must be adopted by the City Council annually to levy a special tax to pay for the cost of providing public facilities, services, and incidental expenses. The rate and method of apportionment of the special tax was originally set forth in Ordinance No. 1726 approved and adopted by the City Council on April 14, 2015.

The special tax levied on each assessable parcel within the District is necessary to pay for the cost of providing public facilities and authorized administrative expenses (Facilities Special Tax A); and the annual landscape and lighting maintenance costs of the District (Services Special Tax B). The proposed Fiscal Year 2023-2024 special tax rates (Special Tax A and Special Tax B) are shown in Exhibit A, Schedule 2.

The proposed special tax rates for Fiscal Year 2023-2024 were developed according to the Rate and Method of Apportionment. Special tax rate A (bond) and special tax rate B (maintenance) will remain the same as the prior year.

The District was established after the adoption of Proposition 218 and complies with its requirements because the District and the special taxes were approved by the consent of the property owner at the time the District was formed.

SUBJECT:

Levy of a Special Tax in Community Facilities District No. 81 (Gabriella) for Fiscal Year 2023-2024.

RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt Resolution No. 2023-069, Authorizing the Levy of Special Tax in Community Facilities District No. 81 (Gabriella) for Fiscal Year 2023-2024.

COUNCIL GOALS:
· Practice sound fiscal management by fully funding liabilities and reserves. · Practice sound fiscal management by developing long-term funding and debt management plans.

DISCUSSION:

Community Facilities District No 81 (Gabriella) was established by Resolution No. 2016-022 on March 22, 2016, to finance public facilities and to pay annual landscape and lighting costs for the district. On March 6, 2018 the District issued $7,180,000 of Special Tax Bonds to finance the acquisition of certain major capital facilities (infrastructure) to serve properties within the District.

Pursuant to Government Code Section 53340, a resolution must be adopted by the City Council annually to levy a special tax to pay for the cost of providing public facilities, services, and incidental expenses. The rate and method of apportionment of the special tax was originally set forth in Ordinance No. 1743 approved and adopted by the City Council on March 22, 2016.

The special tax levied on each assessable parcel within the District is necessary to pay for the cost of providing public facilities and authorized administrative expenses (Facilities Special Tax A); and the annual landscape and lighting maintenance costs of the District (Services Special Tax B). The proposed Fiscal Year 2023-2024 special tax rates (Special Tax A and Special Tax B) are shown in Exhibit A.

The proposed special tax rates for Fiscal Year 2023-2024 were developed according to the Rate and Method of Apportionment (Exhibit B). Special tax rate A (bond) and special tax rate B (maintenance) will remain the same as the prior year.

The District was established after the adoption of Proposition 218 and complies with its requirements because the District and the special taxes were approved by the consent of the property owner at the time the District was formed.

SUBJECT:

Levy of a Special Tax in Community Facilities District No. 86 (Etiwanda Ridge) for Fiscal Year 2023- 2024.

RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt Resolution No. 2023-071, Authorizing the Levy of Special Tax in Community Facilities District No. 86 (Etiwanda Ridge) for Fiscal Year 2023-2024.

COUNCIL GOALS:
· Practice sound fiscal management by fully funding liabilities and reserves. · Practice sound fiscal management by developing long-term funding and debt management plans.

DISCUSSION:

Community Facilities District No 86 (Etiwanda Ridge) was established by Resolution No. 2018-034 on June 12, 2018, to finance public facilities and to pay annual landscape and lighting costs for the district. On February 20, 2020, the District issued $5,025,000 of Special Tax Bonds to finance the acquisition of certain major capital facilities (infrastructure) to serve properties within the District.

Pursuant to Government Code Section 53340, a resolution must be adopted by the City Council annually to levy a special tax to pay for the cost of providing public facilities, services, and incidental expenses. The rate and method of apportionment of the special tax was originally set forth in Ordinance No. 1776 approved and adopted by the City Council on June 26, 2018.

The special tax levied on each assessable parcel within the District is necessary to pay for the cost of providing public facilities and authorized administrative expenses (Facilities Special Tax A); and the annual landscape and lighting maintenance costs of the District (Services Special Tax B). The proposed Fiscal Year 2023-2024 special tax rates (Special Tax A and Special Tax B) are shown in Exhibit A.

The proposed special tax rates for Fiscal Year 2023-2024 were developed according to the Rate and Method of Apportionment (Exhibit B). Special tax rate A (bond) and special tax rate B (maintenance) will remain the same as the prior year.

The District was established after the adoption of Proposition 218 and complies with its requirements because the District and the special taxes were approved by the consent of the property owner at the time the District was formed.

RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt Resolution No. 2023-074, Authorizing the Levy of Special Tax in Community Facilities District No. 89 (Belrose) for Fiscal Year 2023-2024.

COUNCIL GOALS:
· Practice sound fiscal management by fully funding liabilities and reserves. · Practice sound fiscal management by developing long-term funding and debt management plans.

DISCUSSION:

Community Facilities District No 89 (Belrose) was established by Resolution No. 2019-004 on January 8, 2019, to finance public facilities and to pay annual landscape and lighting costs for the district. On November 19, 2020, the District issued $5,725,000 of Special Tax Bonds to finance the acquisition of certain major capital facilities (infrastructure) to serve properties within the District.

Pursuant to Government Code Section 53340, a resolution must be adopted by the City Council annually to levy a special tax to pay for the cost of providing public facilities, services, and incidental expenses. The rate and method of apportionment of the special tax was originally set forth in Ordinance No. 1787 approved and adopted by the City Council on January 22, 2019.

The special tax levied on each assessable parcel within the District is necessary to pay for the cost of providing public facilities and authorized administrative expenses (Facilities Special Tax A); and the annual landscape and lighting maintenance costs of the District (Services Special Tax B). The proposed Fiscal Year 2023-2024 special tax rates (Special Tax A and Special Tax B) are shown in Exhibit A.

The proposed special tax rates for Fiscal Year 2023-2024 were developed according to the Rate and Method of Apportionment (Exhibit B) and are the same as prior year.

The District was established after the adoption of Proposition 218 and complies with its requirements because the District and the special taxes were approved by the consent of the property owner at the time the District was formed.

The City Treasurer has reviewed and supports this action.

SUBJECT:

Levy of a Special Tax in Community Facilities District No. 95 (Summit @ Rosena Phase 2) for Fiscal Year 2023-2024.

RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt Resolution No. 2023-076, Authorizing the Levy of Special Tax in Community Facilities District No. 95 (Summit @ Rosena Phase 2) for Fiscal Year 2023-2024.

COUNCIL GOALS:
· Practice sound fiscal management by fully funding liabilities and reserves. · Practice sound fiscal management by developing long-term funding and debt management plans.

DISCUSSION:

Community Facilities District No 95 (Summit @ Rosena Phase 2) was established by Resolution No. 2019-055 on April 23, 2019, to finance public facilities and to pay annual landscape and lighting costs for the district. In the future, the District will issue a maximum of $11,000,000 in Special Tax Bonds to finance the acquisition of certain major capital facilities (infrastructure) to serve properties within the District.

Pursuant to Government Code Section 53340, a resolution must be adopted by the City Council annually to levy a special tax to pay for the cost of providing public facilities, services, and incidental expenses. The rate and method of apportionment of the special tax was set forth in Ordinance No. 1804 approved and adopted by the City Council on May 14, 2019.

The special tax levied on each assessable parcel within the District is necessary to pay for the cost of providing public facilities and authorized administrative expenses (Facilities Special Tax A); and the annual landscape and lighting maintenance costs of the District (Services Special Tax B). The proposed Fiscal Year 2023-2024 special tax rates (Special Tax A and Special Tax B) are shown in Exhibit A.

The proposed special tax rates for Fiscal Year 2023-2024 were developed according to the Rate and Method of Apportionment (Exhibit B) and are the same as the prior year.

The District was established after the adoption of Proposition 218 and complies with its requirements because the District and the special taxes were approved by the consent of the property owner at the time the District was formed.

SUBJECT:

Levy of a Special Tax in Community Facilities District No. 100 (Victoria) for Fiscal Year 2023-2024.

RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt Resolution No. 2023-077, Authorizing the Levy of Special Tax in Community Facilities District No. 100 (Victoria) for Fiscal Year 2023-2024.

COUNCIL GOALS:
· Practice sound fiscal management by fully funding liabilities and reserves. · Practice sound fiscal management by developing long-term funding and debt management plans.

DISCUSSION:

Community Facilities District No 100 (Victoria) was established by Resolution No. 2020-157 on December 8, 2020, to finance public facilities and to pay annual landscape and lighting costs for the district. The District will issue a maximum (not to exceed) of $8,000,000 in Special Tax Bonds to finance the acquisition of certain major capital facilities (infrastructure) to serve properties within the District.

Pursuant to Government Code Section 53340, a resolution must be adopted by the City Council annually to levy a special tax to pay for the cost of providing public facilities, services, and incidental expenses. The rate and method of apportionment of the special tax was originally set forth in Ordinance No. 1859 approved and adopted by the City Council on January 12, 2021.

The special tax levied on each assessable parcel within the District is necessary to pay for the cost of providing public facilities and authorized administrative expenses (Facilities Special Tax A); and the annual landscape and lighting maintenance costs of the District (Services Special Tax B). The proposed Fiscal Year 2023-2024 special tax rates (Special Tax A and Special Tax B) are shown in Exhibit A.

The proposed special tax rates for Fiscal Year 2023-2024 were developed according to the Rate and Method of Apportionment (Exhibit B) and are the same as prior year.

The District was established after the adoption of Proposition 218 and complies with its requirements because the District and the special taxes were approved by the consent of the property owner at the time the District was formed.

SUBJECT:

Levy of a Special Tax in Community Facilities District No. 1 (Southridge Village) for Fiscal Year 2023- 2024.

RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt Resolution No. 2023-079, Authorizing the Levy of a Special Tax in Community Facilities District No. 1 (Southridge) for Fiscal Year 2023-2024.

COUNCIL GOALS:
· Practice sound fiscal management by developing long-term funding and debt management plans.

DISCUSSION:

To mitigate the fiscal impact of Southridge Village, the City Council adopted Resolution 84-13 establishing Community Facilities District No. 1 (Southridge). The District was established to fund and provide the following services:
· Police Services
· Fire protection, suppression, ambulance and paramedic services · Operation and maintenance of parks and parkways
Pursuant to the Special Tax Rate and Method of Apportionment, adopted by the City Council on November 15, 1983, the special tax rate in the District may annually increase by an amount which is the lesser of (1) the annual increase in the consumer price index (CPI) as determined by the U.S.

Department of Labor Statistics or (2) five percent (5%) of the maximum special tax rate.

The proposed Fiscal Year 2023-2024 maximum special tax rate for the District is $1,052.82 per equivalent dwelling unit. This reflects a 4.9% ($49.43) increase over the prior fiscal year as the annual increase in CPI was 4.9%. The actual tax will increase by 2% ($15.34) to $782.38.

It is projected that the revenues generated by the actual tax of $782.38 per equivalent dwelling unit will be sufficient to cover the cost of providing the services authorized by the District and detailed in Exhibit A.

The City's special taxes for this District have been reviewed in light of the passage of Proposition 218. The recommended actions comply with the provisions of this proposition.

A listing of the parcels and the related specific tax for each parcel is available for viewing in the City City of Fontana Page 1 of 2 Printed on 7/20/2023

First: The Special Tax shall be levied on each Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property in an amount equal to 100% of the applicable Assigned Special Tax; Second: If additional monies are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement after the first step has been completed, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Assessor’s Parcel of Undeveloped Property at up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax for Undeveloped Property; Third: additional monies are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement after the first two steps have been completed, then the levy of the Special Tax on each Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property whose Maximum Special Tax is determined through the application of the Backup Special Tax shall be increased in equal percentages from the Assigned Special Tax up to the Maximum Special Tax for each such Assessor’s Parcel;
Fourth: If additional monies are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement after the first three steps have been completed, then the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Assessor’s Parcel of Taxable Public Property and Taxable Property Owner Association Property at up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax for Taxable Public Property and Taxable Property Owner Association Property, as needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement; Notwithstanding the above, the CFD Administrator shall, in any Fiscal Year, calculate a levy Proportionately less than 100% of the Assigned Special Tax in step one (above), when (i) the CFD Administrator is no longer required to provide for the levy of the Special Tax pursuant to steps two through four above in order to meet the Special Tax Requirement; and (ii) all authorized CFD No. 99 Bonds have already been issued or the Council has covenanted that it shall not issue any additional CFD No. 99 Bonds (except refunding bonds) to be supported by the Special Tax.

Further notwithstanding the above, under no circumstances shall the Special Tax levied in any Fiscal Year against any Assessor’s Parcel of Residential Property for which an occupancy permit for private residential use has been issued (in accordance with Section 53321(d)(3) of the California Government Code), be increased as a consequence of delinquency or default by the owner of any other Assessor’s Parcel within CFD No. 99 by more than ten percent above the amount that would have been levied in that Fiscal Year had there never been any such delinquencies or defaults. To the extent that the levy of the Special Tax on Residential Property is limited by the provision in the previous sentence, the levy of the Special Tax on each Assessor’s Parcel of Non-Residential Property shall 347

SUBJECT:

Levy of a Special Tax in Community Facilities District No. 109 (Narra Hills) for Fiscal Year 2023-2024.

RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt Resolution No. 2023-082, Authorizing the Levy of Special Tax in Community Facilities District No. 109 (Narra Hills) for Fiscal Year 2023-2024.

COUNCIL GOALS:
· Practice sound fiscal management by fully funding liabilities and reserves. · Practice sound fiscal management by developing long-term funding and debt management plans.

DISCUSSION:

Community Facilities District No 109 (Narra Hills) was established by Resolution No. 2022-047 on June 14, 2022, to finance public facilities and to pay annual landscape and lighting costs for the district. The District will issue a maximum (not to exceed) of $36,185,000 in Special Tax Bonds to finance the acquisition of certain major capital facilities (infrastructure) to serve properties within the District.

Pursuant to Government Code Section 53340, a resolution must be adopted by the City Council annually to levy a special tax to pay for the cost of providing public facilities, services, and incidental expenses. The rate and method of apportionment of the special tax was originally set forth in Ordinance No. 1893 approved and adopted by the City Council on June 28, 2022.

The special tax levied on each assessable parcel within the District is necessary to pay for the cost of providing public facilities and authorized administrative expenses (Facilities Special Tax A); and the annual landscape and lighting maintenance costs of the District (Services Special Tax B). The proposed Fiscal Year 2023-2024 special tax rates (Special Tax A and Special Tax B) are shown in Exhibit A.

The proposed special tax rates for Fiscal Year 2023-2024 were developed according to the Rate and Method of Apportionment (Exhibit B).

The District was established after the adoption of Proposition 218 and complies with its requirements because the District and the special taxes were approved by the consent of the property owner at the time the District was formed.
