CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REOUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION STAFF REPORT . Subiect: 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. Backl!round: On September 2, 2003, the Mayor and Common Council authorized the initiation ofthe first steps in the process for the formation of a Special Tax District for the payment of a portion of the costs of the Verdemont Fire Station. Attached for consideration is a Resolution ofIntention for the formal initiation of the Special Tax District formation process. Also attached is a spreadsheet setting forth the assumptions that were used to determine the special tax rate for residential development on an annual basis and the special tax rate for industrial, commercial and retail projects. The special tax is subject to an annual increase of2% per year. The initial year tax rate for residential units is $375 per dwelling unit and $2,445 per acre for industrial, commercial and retail projects and which tax rate is also subject to a 2% annual increase. . Additional document in the form ofresolutions and ordinances will be brought forward to the Mayor and Common Council to amend the Municipal Code to include a Verdemont Fire Station operations mitigation fee. Each developer of a new project in the Verdemont Fire Station Service Area will have the ability to either pay the mitigation fee as will be required in the proposed amendments to the Municipal Code or to elect to annex into the Mello-Roos special tax distinct. It is estimated that the upfront mitigation fee would be equal to $6,803.45 for each residential dwelling unit and $44,358.47 per acre for each industrial, commercial and retail project within the Verdemont Fire Station Service Area. Both the special tax and the Verdemont Fire Station operations mitigation fee would only apply to newly developed projects in the Verdemont Fire Station Service Area and not to any existing development. Fiscal ImDact: It has been assumed that the City will be required to pay a substantial portion of the operating expenses for the Verdemont Fire Station until such time as a significant amount of new development has occurred in the Verdemont Fire Station Service Area. It is possible that upon full build-out of the Verdemont Fire Station Service Area perhaps upwards 000% to 50% of the annual operating and maintenance costs of the Verdemont Fire Station would be paid through the special tax and the Verdemont Fire Station Operations Mitigation fee with the City General Fund paying the remaining operations and maintenance expenses annually. .
