Council approves steps to annex Fairway Oaks into Community Facilities District No. 2021 for ongoing police, fire and maintenance funding
Summary
Council completed a sequence of resolutions and introduced an ordinance to annex the Fairway Oaks subdivision into CFD No. 2021 (public services). The actions included calling a special election, declaring election results and introducing an ordinance authorizing the levy of special taxes; the measures passed by roll call votes.
The City Council took multiple actions to annex the Fairway Oaks subdivision into Community Facilities District (CFD) No. 2021 for ongoing public services funding.
City staff described the annexation as step two of the CFD process required by the Fairway Oaks subdivision conditions of approval. John (last name not specified in presentation), a city staff presenter, said the Fairway Oaks development is roughly bounded by Highway 99, Glendale Road and Dry Creek and includes about 162 parcels. He said the CFD’s purpose is to ensure new development mitigates impacts to police, fire and maintenance services.
Staff presented estimated annual special-tax revenues tied to the annexation: approximately $100,000 a year for municipal police services (Special Tax A), about $50,000 a year for fire and paramedic services (Special Tax B), and roughly $180,000 a year for maintenance services (Special Tax C). The special taxes adjust annually for inflation under the district rules, staff said.
Council approved a resolution calling a special election and submitting the question of levying special taxes within the annexation territory; a subsequent resolution declared the results of that special election. Council then introduced and waived further reading of an ordinance authorizing the levy of special taxes within the annexed territory to complete the annexation. County election and registration staff certified there are no registered voters within the annexation territory; staff said all taxable property owners consented to the election. Roll-call votes recorded ayes from council members present on each action; staff said final ordinance adoption would return to council on March 18.
