A Special Tax shall be levied on and collected from each parcel of land in Ynez Corridor Community Facilities District No. 88-12 of the County of Riverside (herein "CFD No. 88-12") in each Fiscal Year commencing July 1, 1990, in an amount determined by the Board of Supervisors of the County of Riverside as the legislative body of CFD No. 88-12 (the "Board") in accordance with the rate and method of apportionment described below. All of the land in CFD No. 88-12, unless exempted by law or by the provisions hereof, shall be taxed for the purposes, to the extent and in the manner provided herein.

 

A. Definitions

 

"Annual Special Tax Levy" means the total amount to be levied in a Fiscal Year equal to the sum of amounts required to pay for (1) the Facilities and any Incidental Expenses related thereto as such terms are defined in Resolution No. 89-390 of the Board of Supervisors of the County of Riverside, and (2) the annual debt service on the Debt of CFD No. 88-12 plus any amount needed to replenish any reserve fund established pursuant to a resolution authorizing the issuance of Debt plus the annual administrative expenses for the levy and collection of the Special Tax and for servicing the Debt of CFD No. 88-12 less the amount of funds which the Board determines is available for such purposes.

 

"Debt" means any binding obligation to repay a sum of money, including obligations in the form of bonds, certificates of participation, long-term leases, loans from governmental agencies, or loans from banks, other financial institutions, or private businesses or individuals.

 

 

"Special Tax" means the special tax authorized pursuant to the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982, as amended, comprising Chapter 2.5 of Part 1 of Division 2 of Title 5 of the Government Code of the State of California, to be levied on the parcels of land within CFD No. 88-12.

 

"Fiscal Year" means the period starting on July 1 and ending the following June 30.

 

"Maximum Special Tax" means the Maximum Special Tax determined in accordance with Section C hereof that can be levied by the Board in any Fiscal Year.

 

B.         Publicly Owned Land

 

No Special Tax shall be levied on a parcel of land which at the time of adoption of the resolution of formation for CFD No. 88-12 is owned by a public agency, or on any land which must be acquired by or dedicated to a public agency in order to construct any of the public facilities to be financed by CFD No. 88-12. Any acquisition by any public agency of a parcel of land within CFD No. 88-12 subsequent to formation of CFD No. 88-12 for a purpose other than the acquisition or construction of the public facilities to be financed by CFD No. 88-12 shall require the public agency to continue to pay the Annual Special Tax Levy for such parcel or to prepay, in full, any special tax obligation on such parcel pursuant to the methodology specified in the resolution of issuance for any Debt of CFD No. 88-12.

 

C. Maximum Special Tax Rate

 

The Maximum Special Tax Rate shall be $10,000 per year per acre of land for Fiscal Year 1990-1991, which Maximum Special Tax Rate shall be increased on July 1 of each year, commencing on July 1, 1991, by an amount equal to 2% per annum above the rate in effect for the previous Fiscal Year.

 

The area of each parcel of land to be used to calculate the Special Tax for such parcel is the acreage shown on, or calculated from, the latest Riverside County Assessor's maps for each Fiscal Year.

 

D. Method of Apportionment

 

On or prior to August 10 of each year, or such later date as is permitted by law and consented to by the County Auditor, the Board shall determine the Annual Special Tax Levy to be levied for the current Fiscal Year. The Board shall cause to be computed the aggregate amount of Special Taxes which could be levied in such Fiscal Year if the Maximum Special Tax Rate were levied against each parcel of land in CFD No. 88-12 not exempt from the levy of the Special Tax (the "Maximum Annual Special Tax Levy"). The required Annual Special Tax Levy shall be divided by the Maximum Annual Special Tax Levy and the resulting ratio shall be the "Appointment Ratio" for the current Fiscal Year. The amount to be levied against each acre of land within each parcel for that Fiscal Year shall be determined by multiplying the Maximum Special Tax for that parcel times the Apportionment Ratio. The Special Tax shall be levied pro rata against all parcels based on the Maximum Special Tax for each parcel.

 

E. Review/Appeal Board

 

The Board of Supervisors shall establish as part of the proceedings and administration of CFD No. 88-12 a special three-member Review/Appeal Board. This Board shall construe and make determinations relative to the administration of the Special Tax as herein specified.
