History: East West Partners asked the District to consider forming a Community Facilities District to help finance infrastructure at the Grays Crossing development. On July 21, 2004 the Board passed assorted documents forming the Community Facilities District No. 04-1 (Grays Crossing) and authorizing various related actions. Resolutions passed were: Joint Community Facilities Agreements with the Town of Truckee and the Truckee Sanitation District, Acquisition and Disclosure Agreement, the Levy of a Special Tax and Establishing an Appropriations Limit, Incur Bonded Indebtedness, Calling a Special Election and Declaring the Results of a Special Election. Ordinance passed was: the Levy of a Special Tax Within the Community Facilities District. New information: We now have a series of items that are part of the legal and financing documents for Community Facilities District 04-1 (Grays Crossing). John Murphy and Greg Blonde of Stradling Yocca Carlson & Rauth prepared the Indenture and the Preliminary Official Statement. Jeff Stave of Nossman, Guthner, Knox & Elliott prepared the Bond Purchase Agreement and the Continuing Disclosure Agreement. The documents have been prepared by experts in the field. ` They have been used in the formation of other CFDs throughout the state, and have stood the test of time.
