WHEREAS, in order to facilitate the funding of the Facilities, the legislative body of the District desires to enter into a Funding Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Quail Hills LP, a California limited partnership (the “Developer”) and the form of the Agreement is on file with the City Clerk; and NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Menifee does hereby determine and order as follows:
Section 1.Each of the above recitals is true and correct.
Section 2.A community facilities district to be designated “Community Facilities District No. 2026-2, Quail Hills, of the City of Menifee” is hereby established pursuant to the Act. The City Council hereby finds and determines that all prior proceedings taken with respect to the establishment of the District were valid and in conformity with the requirements of law, including the Act. This finding is made in accordance with the provisions of Section 53325.1(b) of the Act.
Section 3.The boundaries of Community Facilities District No. 2026-2 are established as shown on the map designated “Community Facilities District No. 2026-2, Quail Hills, City of Menifee, County of Riverside, State of California,” which map is on file in the office of the City Clerk and was recorded pursuant to Sections 3111 and 3113 of the Streets and Highways Code in the County Book of Maps of Assessment and Community Facilities Districts in the Assessor-County Clerk-Recorder’s office of the County of Riverside in Book No. 99 Page No. 76 on July 21, 2026, as Instrument No. 2026-0227834.
Section 4.The types of Facilities and Incidental Expenses authorized to be provided for Community Facilities District No. 2026-2 are those set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto. The estimated cost of the Facilities and Incidental Expenses to be financed is set forth in the Engineer’s Report, which estimates may change as the Facilities are designed and bid for construction and acquisition, as applicable.
The City is authorized by the Act to contribute revenue to, or to construct or acquire the Facilities, all in accordance with the Act. The City Council finds and determines that the proposed Facilities are necessary to meet the increased demand that will be placed upon local agencies and public infrastructure as a result of new development within the District and that the Facilities to be financed benefit residents of the City and the future residents of the District.
Section 5.Except where funds are otherwise available, it is the intention of this City Council, subject to the approval of the eligible voters of the District, to levy annually a Special Tax at the rates set forth in the Rate and Method on all non-exempt property within the District sufficient to pay for (i) the Facilities, (ii) the principal and interest and other periodic costs Resolution Establishing CFD No. 2026-2 (Quail Hills)

5 on the bonds proposed to be issued to finance the Facilities and Incidental Expenses, including the establishment and replenishment of reserve funds, any remarketing, credit enhancement and liquidity facility fees and other expenses of the type permitted by Section 53345.3 of the Act; and (iii) the Incidental Expenses. The District expects to incur, and in certain cases has already incurred, Incidental Expenses in connection with the creation of the District, the issuance of bonds, the levying and collecting of the Special Tax, the completion and inspection of the Facilities and the annual administration of the bonds and the District. The Rate and Method is described in detail in Exhibit C hereto and incorporated herein by this reference, and the City Council hereby finds that the Rate and Method contains sufficient detail to allow each landowner within the District to estimate the maximum amount that may be levied against each parcel. As described in greater detail in the Engineer’s Report, which is incorporated by reference herein, the Special Tax is based on the expected demand that each parcel of real property within Community Facilities District No. 2026-2 will place on the Facilities and on the benefit that each parcel will derive from the right to access the Facilities and, accordingly, is hereby determined to be reasonable. The Special Tax shall be levied on each assessor’s parcel in accordance with the Rate and Method provided, however, that the Special Tax shall not be levied after Fiscal Year 2071-72. The Special Tax is apportioned to each parcel on the foregoing bases pursuant to Section 53325.3 of the Act and such Special Tax is not on or based upon the ownership of real property or the assessed value of real property.
If Special Taxes of the District are levied against any parcel used for private residential purposes, (i) the maximum Special Tax rate shall be specified as a dollar amount that shall be calculated and established not later than the date on which the parcel is first subject to the Special Tax because of its use for private residential purposes and shall not be increased over time except as authorized under the Rate and Method, (ii) the Special Tax shall not be levied after Fiscal Year 2071-72, and (iii) under no circumstances will the Special Tax levied against any such parcel used for private residential uses be increased as a consequence of delinquency or default by the owner or owners of any other parcel or parcels within the District 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.
The City Manager of the City of Menifee, or his or her designee, will be responsible for preparing annually, or authorizing a designee to prepare, a current roll of special tax levy obligations by assessor’s parcel number and will be responsible for estimating future special tax levies pursuant to Section 53340.2 of the Act.
Section 6.In the event that a portion of the property within Community Facilities District No. 2026-2 shall become for any reason exempt, wholly or partially, from the levy of the Special Tax specified in the Rate and Method, or in the event of delinquencies in the payment of Special Taxes levied, the City Council shall, on behalf of Community Facilities District No. 2026-2, increase the levy to the extent necessary and permitted by law and these proceedings upon the remaining property within Community Facilities District No. 2026-2 that is not exempt or delinquent in order to yield the required debt service payments on any outstanding bonds of the District, or to prevent the District from defaulting on any of its other obligations or liabilities; provided, however, under no circumstances will the Special Tax levied against any parcel used for private residential uses be increased as a consequence of delinquency or default by the owner or owners of any other parcel or parcels within the District 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.
The amount of the Special Tax will be set in accordance with the Rate and Method. The Resolution Establishing CFD No. 2026-2 (Quail Hills)

5 obligation to pay Special Taxes may be prepaid only as set forth in Section G of the Rate and Method.
Section 7.Upon recordation of a notice of special tax lien pursuant to Section 3114.5 of the Streets and Highways Code, a continuing lien to secure each levy of the Special Tax shall attach to all non-exempt real property in the District and this lien shall continue in force and effect until the Special Tax obligation is prepaid and permanently satisfied and the lien canceled in accordance with law or until collection of the Special Tax by the District ceases.
Section 8.Consistent with Section 53325.6 of the Act, the City Council finds and determines that the land within Community Facilities District No. 2026-2, if any, devoted primarily to agricultural, timber or livestock uses and being used for the commercial production of agricultural, timber or livestock products is contiguous to other land within Community Facilities District No. 2026-2 and will be benefited by the Facilities proposed to be provided within Community Facilities District No. 2026-2.
Section 9.It is hereby further determined that there is no ad valorem property tax currently being levied on property within proposed Community Facilities District No. 2026-2 for the exclusive purpose of paying the principal of or interest on bonds or other indebtedness incurred to finance the construction of capital facilities that provide the same services to the territory of Community Facilities District No. 2026-2 as are proposed to be provided by the Facilities to be financed by Community Facilities District No. 2026-2.
Section 10.Written protests against the establishment of the District have not been filed by one-half or more of the registered voters within the boundaries of the District or by the property owners of one-half (1/2) or more of the area of land within the District. The City Council hereby finds that the proposed Special Tax has not been precluded by a majority protest pursuant to Section 53324 of the Act.
Section 11.An election is hereby called for Community Facilities District No. 2026-2 on the propositions of levying the Special Tax on the property within Community Facilities District No. 2026-2 and establishing an appropriations limit for the District pursuant to Section 53325.7 of the Act and shall be consolidated with the election on the proposition of incurring bonded indebtedness, pursuant to Sections 53351 and 53353.5 of the Act. The language of the propositions to be placed on the ballot is attached hereto as Exhibit B.

The polls shall be open for said election immediately following the close of the public hearing on August 19, 2026.
The election shall be conducted by the City Clerk. Except as otherwise provided by the Act, the election shall be conducted in accordance with the provisions of law regulating elections of the City of Menifee insofar as such provisions are determined by the City Clerk to be applicable. The City Clerk is authorized to conduct the election following the adoption of this resolution, and all ballots shall be received by, and the City Clerk shall close the election by, 11:00 p.m. on the election day; provided the election shall be closed at such earlier time as all qualified electors have voted as provided in Section 53326(d) of the Act.

In the event that there are Assessor’s Parcel(s) for which one or more Building Permits for Residential Units have been issued and the County has not yet assigned final Assessor’s Parcel Number(s) to such Assessor’s Parcel(s) (in accordance with the Final Map or Condominium Plan), the amount of the Special Tax levy on such Assessor’s Parcel for each Fiscal Year shall be determined as follows: (1) the CFD Administrator shall first determine an amount of the Maximum Special Tax for such Assessor’s Parcel, based on the classification of such Assessor’s Parcel as Undeveloped Property; (2) the amount of the Special Tax for the Residential Units on such Assessor’s Parcel for which Building Permits have been issued shall be determined based on the Developed Property Special Tax rates and such amount shall be levied as Developed Property in accordance with Step 1 of Section E below; and (3) the amount of the Special Tax on the Taxable Property in such Assessor’s Parcel not subject to the Special Tax levy in clause (2) shall be equal to: (A) the percentage of the Maximum Special Tax rate levied on Undeveloped Property pursuant to Step 3 of Section E below, multiplied by the total of the amount determined in clause (1), less (B) the amount determined in clause (2).
D. MAXIMUM SPECIAL TAX
1. Developed Property
The Maximum Special Tax for each Assessor’s Parcel of Single Family Residential Property in any Fiscal Year shall be the greater of (i) the Assigned Special Tax for such Assessor’s Parcel or (ii) the Backup Special Tax.
The Maximum Special Tax for each Assessor’s Parcel of Multifamily Property and Non- Residential Property shall be the applicable Assigned Special Tax described in Table 1 of Section D.

U = Maximum Special Tax per Acre of Undeveloped Property per Section D.3 below. 4899-8181-3435v4/200299-0036 C-7
A = Acreage of Single-Family Residential Property expected to exist after build out in such Final Map at the time of calculation, as determined by the Administrator L = Number of Assessor’s Parcels of Single-Family Residential Property expected to exist after build out in such Final Map at the time of calculation, as determined by the Administrator.
In the event any portion of the Final Map is changed or modified, the Backup Special Tax for all Assessor’s Parcels within such changed or modified area shall be $13,993 per Acre.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Backup Special Tax for an Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property for which a certificate of occupancy has been granted may not be revised.
In the event any superseding Final Map is recorded as a Final Map within the boundaries of the CFD, the Backup Special Tax for all Assessor’s Parcels within such Final Map shall be $13,993 per Acre. The Backup Special Tax shall not apply to Multifamily Residential Property or Non-Residential Property.

E. METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT OF THE SPECIAL TAX
Commencing Fiscal Year 2026-2027 and for each subsequent Fiscal Year, the City Council shall levy Special Taxes on all Taxable Property in accordance with the following steps:
Step One: The Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property at up to 100% of the applicable Assigned Special Tax rates in Table 1 to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement.
4899-8181-3435v4/200299-0036 C-8
Step Two: If additional moneys 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 Approved Property at up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax applicable to each such Assessor’s Parcel as needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement.
Step Three: If additional moneys are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement after the first two steps have been completed, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Assessor’s Parcel of Undeveloped Property up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax applicable to each such Assessor’s Parcel as needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement.
Step Four: If additional moneys are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement after the first three steps have been completed, then the Special Tax levy on each Assessor's Parcel of Developed Property for which the Maximum Special Tax is the Backup Special Tax shall be increased in equal percentages from the Assigned Special Tax up to 100% of the Backup Special Tax as needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement.
Step Five: If additional moneys are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement after the first four steps have been completed, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Assessor’s Parcel of Provisional Undeveloped Property up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax applicable to each such Assessor’s Parcel as needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement.
Notwithstanding the above, under no circumstances will the Special Taxes levied in any Fiscal Year against any Assessor’s Parcel of Residential Property as a result of a delinquency in the payment of the Special Tax applicable to any other Assessor’s Parcel be increased by more than ten percent (10%) above the amount that would have been levied in that Fiscal Year had there never been any such delinquency or default.
F. EXEMPTIONS
The City shall classify as Exempt Property, in the following order of priority, (i) Assessor’s Parcels that are owned by, irrevocably offered for dedication, encumbered by or restricted in use by the State of California, Federal or other local governments, including school districts, (ii) Assessor’s Parcels that are used as places of worship and are exempt from ad valorem property taxes because they are owned by a religious organization, (iii) Assessor’s Parcels that are owned by, irrevocably offered for dedication, encumbered by or restricted in use by a homeowners' association, (iv) Assessor’s Parcels with public or utility easements making impractical their utilization for other than the purposes set forth in the easement, (v) Assessor’s Parcels that are privately owned and are encumbered by or restricted solely for public uses, (vi) Assessor’s Parcels that are classified as Non-Residential Property or (vii) Assessor’s Parcels restricted to other types of public uses determined by the City Council, provided that no such classification would reduce the sum of all Taxable Property to less than 16.79 Acres.
Notwithstanding the above, the City Council shall not classify an Assessor’s Parcel as Exempt Property if such classification would reduce the sum of all Taxable Property to less than 16.79 Acres. Assessor's Parcels that cannot be classified as Exempt Property because such classification would reduce the Acreage of all Taxable Property to less than 16.79 Acres will be classified as Provisional Undeveloped Property, and will be subject to Special Tax pursuant to Step Five in Section E.
4899-8181-3435v4/200299-0036 C-9
G. PREPAYMENT OF SPECIAL TAX
The following additional definitions apply to this Section G:
“CFD Facilities” means $4,000,000 expressed in 2026 dollars, which shall increase by the Construction Inflation Index on July 1, 2027, and on each July 1 thereafter, or such lower amount (i) determined by the City Council as sufficient to provide the facilities under the authorized bonding program for CFD No. 2026-2, or (ii) determined by the City Council concurrently with a covenant that it will not issue any more Bonds to finance additional facilities to be supported by Special Tax levied under this Rate and Method of Apportionment. “Construction Fund” means an account specifically identified in the Indenture or functionally equivalent to hold funds, which are available for expenditure to acquire or construct facilities eligible to be financed by CFD No. 2026-2.
“Construction Inflation Index” means the greater of (i) 2% and (ii) the annual percentage change in the Engineering News-Record Building Cost Index for the city of Los Angeles, measured as of the Calendar Year which ends in the previous Fiscal Year. In the event this index ceases to be published, the Construction Inflation Index shall be another index as determined by the City that is reasonably comparable to the Engineering News-Record Building Cost Index for the City of Los Angeles.
“Future Facilities Costs” means the CFD Facilities minus (i) amounts deposited in the Construction Fund, (ii) amounts deposited in any escrow accounts funded by the Outstanding Bonds and anticipated to fund public facilities costs, and (iii) public facility costs funded by interest earnings on the Construction Fund actually earned prior to the date of prepayment, but in no event shall such amount be less than zero.
“Outstanding Bonds” means all previously issued Bonds issued and secured by the levy of Special Tax that will remain outstanding after the first interest and/or principal payment date following the current Fiscal Year, excluding Bonds to be redeemed at a later date with the proceeds of prior prepayments of Special Tax.
1. Prepayment in Full
The Special Tax obligation may be prepaid and permanently satisfied for (i) Assessor’s Parcels of Developed Property, (ii) Assessor’s Parcels of Approved Property or Undeveloped Property for which a Building Permit has been issued, (iii) Assessor’s Parcels of Approved Property or Undeveloped Property for which a Building Permit has not been issued and (iv) Assessor’s Parcels of Provisional Undeveloped Property. The Special Tax obligation applicable to an Assessor’s Parcel may be fully prepaid and the obligation to pay the Special Tax for such Assessor’s Parcel permanently satisfied as described herein; provided that a prepayment may be made only if there are no delinquent Special Taxes with respect to such Assessor’s Parcel at the time of prepayment. An owner of an Assessor’s Parcel intending to prepay the Special Tax obligation for such Assessor’s Parcel shall provide the CFD Administrator with written notice of intent to prepay, and within 5 business days of receipt of such notice, the CFD Administrator shall notify such owner of the amount of the non-refundable deposit determined to cover the cost to be incurred by the CFD in calculating the Prepayment Amount (as defined below) for the Assessor’s Parcel. Within 15 days of receipt of such non-refundable deposit, the CFD Administrator shall notify such owner of the Prepayment Amount for the Assessor’s Parcel. Prepayment must be 4899-8181-3435v4/200299-0036 C-10
made not less than 60 days prior to the redemption date for any Bonds to be redeemed with the proceeds of such prepaid Special Taxes.
The Prepayment Amount shall be calculated as follows (some capitalized terms are defined below):
Bond Redemption Amount
plus Redemption Premium
plus Future Facilities Amount
plus Defeasance Amount
plus Administrative Fees and Expenses
less Reserve Fund Credit
Equals: Prepayment Amount
The Prepayment Amount shall be determined as of the proposed prepayment date as follows:
1. Confirm that no Special Tax delinquencies apply to such Assessor’s Parcel.
2. For an Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property, compute the Maximum Special Tax for the Assessor’s Parcel. For an Assessor’s Parcel of Approved Property or Undeveloped Property for which a Building Permit has been issued, compute the Maximum Special Tax for the Assessor’s Parcel as though it was already designated as Developed Property, based upon the Building Permit that has been issued for the Assessor’s Parcel. For an Assessor’s Parcel of Approved Property or Undeveloped Property for which a Building Permit has not been issued, or Provisional Undeveloped Property, compute the Maximum Special Tax for the Assessor’s Parcel.
3. Divide the Maximum Special Tax derived pursuant to paragraph 2 by the total amount of Maximum Special Taxes that could be levied assuming build out of all Assessor’s Parcels of Taxable Property based on the applicable Maximum Special Tax for Assessor’s Parcels of Developed Property not including any Assessor’s Parcels for which the Special Tax obligation has been previously prepaid.
4. Multiply the quotient derived pursuant to paragraph 3 by the principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds to determine the amount of Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed with the Prepayment Amount (the “Bond Redemption Amount”).
5. Multiply the Bond Redemption Amount by the applicable redemption premium, if any, on the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed (the “Redemption Premium”).
6. Determine the Future Facilities Costs.
7. Multiply the quotient derived pursuant to paragraph 3 by the amount determined pursuant to paragraph 6 to determine the amount of Future Facilities Costs for the Assessor’s Parcel (the “Future Facilities Amount”).
8. Determine the amount needed to pay interest on the Bond Redemption Amount from the first bond interest and/or principal payment date following the current Fiscal Year until the earliest redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds on which Bonds can be redeemed from Special Tax prepayments.
4899-8181-3435v4/200299-0036 C-11
9. Determine the Special Taxes levied on the Assessor’s Parcel in the current Fiscal Year that have not yet been paid.
10. Determine the amount the CFD Administrator reasonably expects to derive from the investment of the Bond Redemption Amount and the Redemption Premium from the date of prepayment until the redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed with the Prepayment Amount.
11. Add the amounts derived pursuant to paragraphs 8 and 9 and subtract the amount derived pursuant to paragraph 10 (the “Defeasance Amount”).
12. Verify the administrative fees and expenses of the CFD, the cost to invest the Prepayment Amount, the cost of redeeming the Outstanding Bonds, and the cost of recording notices to evidence the prepayment of the Special Tax obligation for the Assessor’s Parcel and the redemption of Outstanding Bonds (the “Administrative Fees and Expenses”).
13. The reserve fund credit (the “Reserve Fund Credit”) shall equal the lesser of: (a) the expected reduction in the reserve requirement (as defined in the Indenture), if any, associated with the redemption of Outstanding Bonds as a result of the prepayment, or (b) the amount derived by subtracting the new reserve requirement (as defined in the Indenture) in effect after the redemption of Outstanding Bonds as a result of the prepayment from the balance in the reserve fund on the prepayment date, but in no event shall such amount be less than zero.
14. The Prepayment Amount is equal to the sum of the Bond Redemption Amount, the Redemption Premium, the Future Facilities Amount, the Defeasance Amount and the Administrative Fees and Expenses, less the Reserve Fund Credit.
15. From the Prepayment Amount, the Bond Redemption Amount, the Redemption Premium, and Defeasance Amount shall be deposited into the appropriate fund as established under the Indenture and be used to redeem Outstanding Bonds or make debt service payments. The Future Facilities Amount shall be deposited into the Construction Fund. The Administrative Fees and Expenses shall be retained by the CFD.
The Prepayment Amount may be sufficient to redeem other than a $5,000 increment of Bonds. In such event, the increment above $5,000 or an integral multiple thereof will be retained in the appropriate fund established under the Indenture to be used with the next redemption from other Special Tax prepayments of Outstanding Bonds or to make debt service payments.
As a result of the payment of the current Fiscal Year’s Special Tax levy as determined pursuant to paragraph 9 above, the CFD Administrator shall remove the current Fiscal Year’s Special Tax levy for the Assessor’s Parcel from the County tax roll. With respect to any Assessor’s Parcel for which the Special Tax obligation is prepaid, the City Council shall cause a suitable notice to be recorded in compliance with the Act, to indicate the prepayment of the Special Tax obligation and the release of the Special Tax lien for the Assessor’s Parcel, and the obligation to pay the Special Tax for such Assessor’s Parcel shall cease.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Special Tax prepayment shall be allowed unless the amount of Maximum Special Tax that may be levied on all Assessor’s Parcels of Taxable Property after the proposed prepayment will be at least 1.1 times maximum annual debt service on the Bonds that will remain outstanding after the prepayment plus the estimated annual Administrative Expenses.
Tenders of Bonds in prepayment of the Special Tax obligation may be accepted upon the terms 4899-8181-3435v4/200299-0036 C-12
and conditions established by the City Council pursuant to the Act. However, the use of Bond tenders shall only be allowed on a case-by-case basis as specifically approved by the City Council.
2. Prepayment in Part
The Special Tax obligation for an Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property, Approved Property, Undeveloped Property, or Provisional Undeveloped Property may be partially prepaid. For purposes of determining the Partial Prepayment Amount, the provisions of Section G.1 shall be modified as provided by the following formula:
PP = ((PE – A) x F) + A
These terms have the following meaning:
PP = Partial Prepayment Amount
PE = the Prepayment Amount calculated according to Section G.1 F = the percent by which the owner of the Assessor’s Parcel(s) is partially prepaying the Special Tax obligation
A = the Administrative Fees and Expenses determined pursuant to Section G.1 The owner of an Assessor’s Parcel who desires to partially prepay the Special Tax obligation for the Assessor’s Parcel shall notify the CFD Administrator of (i) such owner’s intent to partially prepay the Special Tax obligation, (ii) the percentage of the Special Tax obligation such owner wishes to prepay, and (iii) the company or agency that will be acting as the escrow agent, if any.
Within 5 days of receipt of such notice, the CFD Administrator shall notify such property owner of the amount of the non-refundable deposit determined to cover the cost to be incurred by the CFD in calculating the Partial Prepayment Amount. Within 15 business days of receipt of such non- refundable deposit, the CFD Administrator shall notify such owner of the amount of the Partial Prepayment Amount for the Assessor’s Parcel. A Partial Prepayment Amount must be made not less than 60 days prior to the redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed with the proceeds of the Partial Prepayment Amount.
With respect to any Assessor’s Parcel for which the Special Tax obligation is partially prepaid, the CFD Administrator shall (i) distribute the Partial Prepayment Amount as provided in Paragraph 15 of Section G.1, and (ii) indicate in the records of the CFD that there has been a partial prepayment for the Assessor’s Parcel and that a portion of the Special Tax obligation equal to the remaining percentage (1.00 - F) of the applicable Special Tax will continue to be levied on the Assessor’s Parcel pursuant to Section E.
H. TERMINATION OF SPECIAL TAX
For each Fiscal Year that any Bonds are outstanding the Special Tax shall be levied on all Assessor’s Parcels subject to the Special Tax pursuant to Section E. The Special Tax shall cease not later than the 2071-2072 Fiscal Year, however, Special Taxes will cease to be levied in an earlier Fiscal Year if the CFD Administrator has determined (i) that all the required interest and principal payments on the CFD No. 2026-2 Bonds have been paid; (ii) all authorized facilities of CFD No. 2026-2 have been acquired and all reimbursements to the developer have been paid, (iii) no delinquent Special Taxes remain uncollected and (iv) all other obligations of CFD No. 2026- 2 have been satisfied.
I. MANNER OF COLLECTION
4899-8181-3435v4/200299-0036 C-13
The Special Tax shall be collected in the same manner and at the same time as ordinary ad valorem property taxes, provided, however, that CFD No. 2026-2 may collect Special Taxes at a different time or in a different manner if necessary to meet its financial obligations, and may covenant to foreclose and may actually foreclose on delinquent Assessor’s Parcels as permitted by the Act.
J. APPEALS OF SPECIAL TAXES
Any taxpayer may file a written appeal of the Special Taxes levied on his/her Assessor’s Parcel(s) with the CFD Administrator, provided that the appellant is current in his/her payments of Special Taxes. During pendency of an appeal, all Special Taxes previously levied must be paid on or before the payment date established when the levy was made. The appeal must specify the reasons why the appellant claims the Special Tax is in error. The CFD Administrator shall review the appeal, meet with the appellant if the CFD Administrator deems necessary, and advise the appellant of its determination. If the CFD Administrator agrees with the appellant, the CFD Administrator shall grant a credit to eliminate or reduce future Special Taxes on the appellant’s Assessor’s Parcel(s). No refunds of previously paid Special Taxes shall be made unless approved by the CFD Administrator.
The CFD Administrator shall interpret this Rate and Method of Apportionment and make determinations relative to the annual levy and administration of the Special Taxes and any taxpayer who appeals, as herein specified.
