Home My WebLink About9 Old Greenwood Grays Crossing special Tax Agenda Item # 9 Public Utility District g . CONSENT To: Board of Directors From: Robert Mescher Date: June 04, 2014 Subject: Consideration of Annual Resolutions for Special Tax: Old Greenwood and Gray's Crossing Communities Facilities Districts 1. WHY THIS MATTER IS BEFORE THE BOARD This item concerns requesting Nevada County to collect special taxes in the Old Greenwood No. 03-1 and Gray's Crossing No. 04-1 Communities Facilities Districts by the adoption of standard resolutions. Only the Board can adopt these resolutions. 2. HISTORY Resolution No. 9723 adopted on November 5, 1997 authorized the execution of a standard form tax collection services contract on behalf of the District with the County of Nevada. The contract states that the District must adopt an annual resolution requesting placement of special taxes, special assessments and/or parcel charges on the County of Nevada tax rolls. The lists are currently in preliminary form only and are available in the Administrative Services Department. Final lists will be on record with Nevada County and the District's Administrative Services Department. On October 14, 2003, the District adopted Ordinance No. 2003-04, authorizing the levy of a special tax within the Old Greenwood Community Facilities District No. 03-1. On July 21, 2004, the District adopted Ordinance No. 2004-02, authorizing the levy of a special tax within the Gray's Crossing Community Facilities District No. 04-1. On January 15, 2014, the Board authorized the District to refinance the bonds of Old Greenwood Community Facilities District No. 03-1, savings the Old Greenwood property owners over $3 million over the term of the bond ending in 2032 at no cost to TDPUD. 3. NEW INFORMATION This matter comes before the Board each year. We rely on Nevada County to collect special taxes as line items on the annual property tax bills. Attachment 1 is Resolution 2014-12 for Old Greenwood Community Facilities District No. 03-1 authorizing Nevada County to collect the special tax for the fiscal year 2014-2015. Attachment 2 is Resolution 2014-13 for Gray's Crossing Community Facilities District No. 04-1 authorizing Nevada County to collect the special tax for the fiscal year 2014-2015. As a result of the bond refinancing earlier this year, the Old Greenwood special taxes have been reduced by about $200,000 for the fiscal year 2014-2015. 4. FISCAL IMPACT The special tax dollars collected are deposited into the Old Greenwood and Gray's Crossing Communities Facilities District funds on deposit with the Trustee Bank of New York Mellon. These funds are used to pay principal and interest payments on the related bonds sold. The estimated assessments for the 2014-2015 assessment period are $710,000 for Old Greenwood and $2,570,000 for Gray's Crossing. 5. RECOMMENDATION a) Adopt Resolution 2014-12 requesting Nevada County to collect the special taxes for the Old Greenwood 03-1 Communities Facilities District; and b) Adopt Resolution 2014-13 requesting Nevada County to collect the special taxes for the Gray's Crossing 04-1 Communities Facilities District.
