BACKGROUND: In the early 1990s, the City Council and landowners worked to establish the Community Facilities District 1992-1 (more commonly known as Loch Lomond #10) for the purpose of creating a special tax in the District. The purpose of the tax was to build a reserve fund and to support the operating and maintenance costs relating to fire access and drainage issues that could pose threats to property owners located in the District. Annually, staff reviews District activity, and prepares a resolution setting the special tax rates. Although action may not always be formally required by the City Council to levy the taxes against the District properties, the City has preferred to bring this item forward publicly. ANALYSIS: The Council approved Ordinance No. 1683 several years ago which provides that the tax rate be subject to the formulas in Resolution 8839. Based upon the amounts collected to date, and anticipated future needs, the current rate of $578 for each of the 27 assessable parcels is sufficient. This rate has remained in place since July 1, 2011, and comprises $435 per parcel for maintenance activities and $143 per parcel for maintaining fire and drainage access. The funding for the liability reserve achieved its target balance of $500,000 in 2005, and continues to accumulate investment earnings. Because the balance exceeds the minimum $500,000 target, additional levies are not required for this set-aside. The total levies for fiscal year 2015-2016 will generate $15,606 in taxes. Although the self- insurance set-aside will no longer be levied until or unless a valid catastrophic claim or expense reduces the reserve, the assessments for maintenance activities and for fire and drainage access expenses will continue to be levied.

During fiscal year 2015-2016, the Public Works Department anticipates the initial implementation of a debris and siltation removal project from the box culvert system which runs from Manderly Road to the Loch Lomond ditch in preparation for the next rainy season. Public Works does not anticipate the need for any major repairs during the year. FISCAL IMPACT: This action will provide the County Auditor Controller the necessary documentation to initiate Fiscal Year 2015-2016 Loch Lomond levies consistent with budget projections for Fiscal Year 2015-2016. A full listing of the parcels levied is attached to this report. A Resolution has been prepared which confirms the Fiscal Year 2015-16 rate at $578 per parcel. There is no fiscal impact to the City's General Fund as a result of this action. ACTION REQUIRED: Staff recommends the City Council approve the report and adopt the Resolution as presented.
