Capistrano Unified trustees approve annual special‑tax levies for seven community facilities districts
Summary
The Capistrano Unified School District board unanimously approved seven annual resolutions establishing special‑tax levies for multiple community facilities districts (CFDs) for fiscal year 2025–26. Trustees cast roll‑call votes on each measure; no public speakers addressed the items.
Capistrano Unified School District trustees on Aug. 13 approved a set of annual resolutions authorizing the levy of special taxes across seven community facilities districts for fiscal year 2025–26. The actions were routine, presented by district finance staff as the annual establishment of each CFD’s tax levy.
Clark Hampton, deputy superintendent, introduced the series of items and told trustees they are a standard August action to set rates for the district’s community facilities districts. The board took separate motions on each CFD; motions were made and seconded by trustees and carried by roll‑call votes with six ayes and one absence (Trustee Zollinger) on each resolution.
The resolutions covered: Community Facilities District 90‑2 (Talaga); an improvement area within CFD 90‑2; CFD 98‑1 (Pacifica San Juan) and its 98‑1b parcel; CFD 90‑82 (Ladera); CFD 2004‑1 (Rancho Madrina); and CFD 2005‑1 (Whispering Hills). Staff noted that Whispering Hills is at 100% of its authorized bonding capacity while other CFDs remain below their maximums.
There was minimal trustee discussion. One trustee asked whether owners of real property in affected areas must recuse from the votes; staff said no recusal was necessary because the levies apply equally across the entire CFD area. There were no public comments on these items.
Each resolution was approved by roll call and recorded as carried (motion carries 6‑0‑1). The board’s actions were procedural and part of the district’s standard fiscal calendar for administering CFD revenues.
The board will continue other budget and finance work later in the meeting, including consideration of the preliminary unaudited financial statements for the prior year.
