CITY COUNCIL PRIORITIES
As provided for in the FY2018-19 Adopted Budget.
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 3.068% allowable increase from Fiscal Year 2017-18 levels.
On June 4, 2018, Council adopted Resolution No. 2018-38, Authorizing the Establishment of an Annual Special Tax Rates for Community Facilities District (CFO) No. 2003-2 (Services) for Fiscal Year 2018-19 including Exhibit A. However, there is a typographical error for Improvement Area 35 Single Family rate in Exhibit A. The Special Tax Rate for Improvement Area 35 Single Family should have read $734.52 instead of $735.52 referenced therein. It is appropriate to correct Fiscal Year 2018-19 Special Tax Rates (Exhibit A) by amending Resolution No. 2018-38.
IMPACT ON CITY RESOURCES
Not applicable.
