10. A Resolution of the Mayor and Common Council of the City of San
Bernardino declaring the intention to establish a Community Facilities
District for the ongoing operation and maintenance of a fire station for the
Verdemont Area.
City Attorney Penman advised that there were numerous contradictions
throughout the resolution and reviewed them with the Mayor and Council. He
also explained that he had not signed the resolution because it would create a
Mello Roos District, and the Council made a decision several years ago not to
enter into anymore Mello Roos Districts because of the great cost to the City
that occurred the last time there was a Mello Roos District in the Verdemont
area. He stated that as currently written the resolution imposes taxes on existing
residences in Verdemont, which he knew the Council did not want to do, and
that the document needed to be completely reworked.
Special Counsel Sabo stated that the clarifications that Mr. Penman requested
were totally consistent with what the intent has been, and he would recommend
that those clarifications be made. He explained that the term "district' is not the
entire Verdemont area; it is those properties that are subject to the tax that are in
5 10/6/2003
an area that will be growing over time. He stated that these types of issues
could be corrected very quickly, and the resolution could easily be brought back
to the Council in two weeks. Mr. Sabo agreed that this is in fact a Mello Roos;
however, there are several differences between the Mello Roos done 13 years
ago in the Verdemont area and the one currently being proposed, which he
summarized for the Mayor and Council.
Council Member/Commissioner Suarez made a motion, seconded by Council
Member/Commissioner Anderson, that the matter be continued to the
Council/Commission meeting of October 20, 2003.
