Council adopts resolutions forming Community Facilities District No. 24 (Alder Creek West), approves mailed‑ballot election results and introduces special‑tax (

The Folsom City Council on May 26 approved a package of resolutions to form Community Facilities District No. 24, called special mailed‑ballot elections and declared the election results in favor of levying a facility and services special tax in four improvement areas. Finance staff described a two‑component special tax (a facility special tax and a services special tax) with ranges keyed to unit types; a transition event will reduce levies after bonds are paid.

Clerk testimony showed landowner ballots returned as unanimous in each improvement area: Improvement Area 1 (87 of 87 in favor), Area 2A (42 of 42), Area 2B (86 of 86) and Area 3 (235 of 235). With no written majority protest reported, the council found it appropriate to move forward. Council members voted yes on Resolutions 11625, 11626 and 11627 to form the district and call the elections, and on Resolution 11628 to declare the election results.

Council then introduced Ordinance 1370 for a first reading, which would implement the special tax levy; the ordinance was advanced by unanimous vote for its introductory reading. Finance staff said the CFD will fund backbone infrastructure and ongoing services, including transportation, water, recycled water, wastewater, drainage, parks and public safety contributions, and noted a transition mechanism (transition services tax of 50% of the facility tax after bonds and administrative obligations are satisfied) to provide long‑term funding for replacement and rehabilitation.

What happens next: ordinance second reading and adoption (if scheduled) and subsequent implementation steps for tax levy and bond issuance if landowners and timing proceed as planned.
