STRATEGIC PLAN:
This item supports the City’s Strategic Plan Goal 6: Improve Communications with Our Community; Objective a: Commit to transparency in all City actions. The recommended action will help achieve these goals by providing concise, forthright information regarding the annual special taxes that will be levied on each subject parcel within the District.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The special tax revenues and related debt service expenditures are included in the District’s Fiscal Year 2019-20 debt service budget.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:
This action is exempt pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the Guidelines for the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), which states that a project is exempt from CEQA if the activity is covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the action is not subject to CEQA. This action merely sets the special taxes to be levied and collected within the District for Fiscal Year 2019-20, and there is no possibility that adopting the resolution will have a significant effect on the environment.
