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. 3.
