Subject: Adoption of Ordinance No. MC-1630 (Annexation 39) (Ward 1)
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, adopt Ordinance No. MC-1630, amending Ordinance No. MC-1522 and levying special taxes to be collected during Fiscal Year 2023-2024 to pay the annual costs of the maintenance and servicing of landscaping, lighting, water quality improvements, graffiti, streets, street sweeping, parks and trail maintenance, a reserve fund for capital replacement, and administrative expenses with respect to City of San Bernardino Community Facilities District No. 2019-1 (Maintenance Services).
Executive Summary
The recommended action is the final step of the annexation process for the proposed development into Community Facilities District (CFD) No. 2019-1 (Maintenance Services). The property owner has petitioned the City to annex into the City’s CFD to mitigate its impact for maintenance service of public facilities as a result of the new development. The Public Hearing was held on March 6, 2024, approving the annexation and conducted the first reading of the Ordinance. The special taxes will be levied annually to offset general fund expenditures related to maintenance of public improvements within and for the benefit of the development.
Background
On January 17, 2024, the Mayor and City Council adopted Resolution No. 2024-012, a Resolution of Intention to annex territory into Community Facilities District No. 2019-1 (Maintenance Services) of the City of San Bernardino (the “Resolution of Intention”), pursuant to the provisions of the “Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982.” On March 6, 2024, the Mayor and City Council adopted Resolution No. 2024-043 calling an election to submit to the qualified electors the question of levying a special tax within the area proposed to be annexed to Community Facilities District No. 2019- 1 (Annexation No. 39), and adopted Resolution No. 2024-044 declaring election results for Community Facilities District No. 2019-1 (Annexation No. 39).
