AUTHORITY
Correct a typographical error in Exhibit A of Resolution No. 2015-23, which sets the Annual Special Tax Rates for fiscal year 2015-16 for Community Facilities District No. 2003-2 (Services) (the “District”) pursuant to Chapter 2.5 (commencing with Section 53311) of Part 1 of Division 2 of Title 5 of the California Government Code (the “Act”), commonly known as the “Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982.”
CITY COUNCIL PRIORITIES
Not applicable.
DISCUSSION
Pursuant to the Mello-Roos Community Facilities District Act of 1982 and City’s Ordinance No. 2144, specifies that the City Council by resolution annually set the special tax rates. The rates of the special taxes may increase each year by the average of the Consumer Price Index, Urban Wage Earners, and the Clerical Workers category for the San Francisco Oakland, San Jose and the United States’ City averages. The rates were to be set at the maximum taking into account the 0.951% allowable increase from 2014-2015 levels.
On June 15, 2015, Council adopted Resolution No. 2015-23, Authorizing the Establishment of an Annual Special Tax for Community Facilities District (CFD) No. 2003-2 (Services) for Fiscal Year 2015-16 including Exhibit A. However, there is a typographical error for Improvement Area 30 Multi-family rate in Exhibit A. The Special Tax Rate for Improvement Area 30 Multi-Family should have read $696.84 instead of $969.84 referenced therein. It is appropriate to correct Fiscal Year 2015-16 Special Tax Rates (Exhibit A) by amending Resolution No. 2015-23.
IMPACT ON CITY RESOURCES
Not applicable.
