Ontario council forms CFD No. 69 to fund services at South Ontario Logistics Center

The Ontario City Council voted 4–0 on Oct. 7 to form Community Facilities District (CFD) No. 69, named South Ontario Logistics Center Services, authorizing the district to levy a special tax and directing recording of a special‑tax lien.

The council opened a publicly noticed hearing under the Mello‑Roos Act and received no written protests and no public speakers on the CFD. The city clerk reported that the official election ballots had been reviewed and that all votes on the proposed propositions were in favor, and the council then adopted a resolution declaring the election results and introduced an ordinance to levy the special tax. The council vote on the motion was recorded as 4–0, with Councilmember Wapner excused.

Why it matters: The CFD will allow the city to impose a special tax within the district boundary to finance public facilities and services tied to the logistics center project. The formation process required mailed notice under the Mello‑Roos Act, a public hearing, and certification of the election results before the council could adopt the resolutions and proceed with recording the tax lien.

What the council did: The council (a) approved a resolution forming CFD No. 69 and authorizing levy of a special tax, (b) accepted the special‑election results and directed recording of the notice of special‑tax lien, and (c) introduced an ordinance to levy the tax within the new district. The city clerk announced the election materials had been reviewed and that the ballot measures passed in favor before the council took action.

Next steps: The council’s motion included direction to record the notice of special‑tax lien and to proceed with the ordinance process. The adopted resolutions and the introduced ordinance together establish the district’s legal structure and the mechanism to collect the special tax once the ordinance is finalized.
