NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the following Public Hearing scheduled for the Regular Meeting of the Hesperia City Council on Tuesday, February 1, 2022 has been continued to the Regular Meeting on Tuesday February 15, 2022.
1. The City of Hesperia (the "City") adopted its "Resolution of Intention To Establish Community Facilities District" (the "Resolution of Intention") to establish Community Facilities CFO No. 2021-1 (Residential Maintenance and Services) (the "CFO") under the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982, constituting Chapter 2.5 of Part 1 of Division 2 of Title 5, commencing at Section 53311, of the California Government Code (the "Act"). Under the Act and the Resolution of Intention, the Council gives notice as follows:
1. The text of the Resolution of Intention, with Exhibits A and B thereto, as adopted by the Council, is on file with City Clerk and reference is made thereto for the particular provisions thereof. The text of the Resolution of Intention is summarized as follows:
a. Under the Act, this Council is undertaking proceedings for the establishment of the CFO, the boundaries of which are shown on a map on file with the City Clerk. b. The purpose of the CFO is to provide for the financing of the police and fire protection services (the "Services") as more fully described in the Resolution of Intention and Exhibit A thereto.
c. The method of financing the Services is through the imposition and levy of a special tax (the "Special Tax") to be apportioned on the properties in the CFO under the rate and method of apportionment described in the Resolution of Intention and Exhibit B thereto. The Special Tax requires the approval of two-thirds of landowner votes voted at a special election called for that purpose by the Council, with each landowner having one vote for each acre or portion of acre such owner owns in the CFO.
d. The Resolution of Intention directed the preparation of a CFO Report that shows the Services by type and that are required to adequately meet the needs of the CFO and the estimated costs of the Services. The CFO Report will be made a permanent part of the record of the public hearing specified below. Reference is made to the CFO Report as filed with the Clerk. e. As set forth below, the Council will hold a public hearing on the establishment of the CFO with its Services and Special Tax.
2. The time and place established under the Resolution of Intention for the public hearing required under the Act are Tuesday, February 1, 2022, at 6:30 p.m or as soon as possible thereafter, in the City Hall, Council Chambers, 9700 Seventh Avenue, Hesperia, California.
3. At the hearing, the testimony of all interested persons or taxpayers for or against the establishment of the CFO, the extent of the CFO or the furnishing of the specified Services will be heard. Any person interested may file a protest in writing as provided in Section 53323 of the Act. If 50% or more of the registered voters, or six registered voters, whichever is more, residing in the territory proposed to be included in the CFO, or the owners of one-half or more of the area of land in the territory proposed to be included in the CFO and not exempt from the special tax, file written protests against the establishment of the CFO and the protests are not withdrawn to reduce the value of the protests to less than a majority, the Council shall take no further action to create the CFO or levy the special taxes for a period of one year from the date of decision of the Council, and if the majority protests of the registered voters or landowners are only against the furnishing of a type or types of Services within the CFO, or against levying a specified special tax, those types of Services or the specified special tax will be eliminated from the proceedings to form the CFO.
4. The proposed voting procedure shall be by special mail or hand-delivered ballot to the property owners within the territory proposed to be included in the CFO.
Any person interested in the proposal may contact the City Clerk's Office at 9700 Seventh Avenue, Hesperia, California, (760) 947-1007 during normal business hours. The pertinent information will be available for public inspection at the above address.
