Casa Grande CFD boards adopt tentative FY2026 budgets, set public hearings and tax-levy dates

Chairwoman Fitzgibbons and members of four Casa Grande Community Facilities District boards voted to adopt tentative fiscal year 2026 budgets and approve resolutions setting public hearings and tax-levy adoption dates for each district.

Roberta, a staff member who presented the budget summaries, told the boards the tentative budgets set the districts' FY2026 expenditure limits and scheduled the public hearings for June 2, 2025, with final budget and tax-levy action planned for June 16, 2025.

The most substantial tentative budget was for the Copper Mountain Ranch Community Facilities District: Roberta said the district’s proposed FY2026 tentative budget is $20,006,843, supported by a proposed property-tax rate of 0.3 per $100 of net assessed value and reflecting only operational costs because “there is no outstanding debt.” She also said the developer will reimburse the district for any operational shortfalls. The board approved Resolution No. 102 by roll call (Ramon: yes; Dugan: yes; B. Dillon: yes; Edwards: yes; Herman: yes; Fitzgibbons: yes).

For the Mission Royale Community Facilities District, Roberta presented a tentative FY2026 budget of $1,573,216 and said that amount represents a reduction from the budget forms submitted with the agenda. She described the proposed property-tax rate as 1.153 per $100 of net assessed value, composed of 0.3 for operations and 0.853 for general obligation bond debt service. The board approved Resolution No. 80 by roll call (Romo: yes; Edwards: yes; Herman: yes; Fitzgibbons: yes).

The Post Ranch Community Facilities District board approved a tentative FY2026 budget of $20,001,700. Roberta said the budget continues an existing 0.3 per $100 property-tax rate that funds operational costs only because “there is no outstanding debt,” and that the developer will reimburse any operational shortfalls. The board approved Resolution No. 59 by roll call (Bridal: yes; Dugan: yes; Breeden: yes; Edwards: yes; Herman: yes; Fitzgibbons: yes).

Roberta told the Villago Community Facilities District board its tentative FY2026 budget is $363,384, an increase from the figures submitted with the agenda. She said the proposed property-tax rate is 0.8204 per $100 of net assessed value, composed of 0.3 for operations and 0.5204 for general obligation bond debt service. The board approved Resolution No. 75 by roll call (Romo: yes; Dugan: yes; B. Dillon: yes; [roll-call completed]; Fitzgibbons: yes).

Each presenter noted that the tentative budgets can be reduced but not increased before final adoption, and that adoption of the tentative budget sets the legal expenditure limit for the fiscal year. Roberta summarized procedural dates for all districts: a public hearing on June 2, 2025, followed by final budget adoption on the same date and tax rate and levy adoption scheduled for June 16, 2025.

There was no substantive discussion or public comment recorded for these items; roll-call votes followed each presentation and motion. The boards adjourned each district’s session after the votes.
