Body
SUMMARY:
The voter-approved benefit assessments program authorized use of flood control benefit assessments to meet qualified long-term debt obligations associated with outstanding Certificates of Participation until such obligations are retired. The proceeds of the Certificates have been or will be used to plan, design and build flood protection facilities to reduce flood damage. This agenda item presents the staff recommendation to set the time and place for the annual public hearing on benefit assessments to meet FY 2020-21 debt obligations.
The attached report entitled "Flood Control Benefit Assessments for Fiscal Years 2020-21 through 2029-30 (April 2020)" (Attachment 1) is required by law for Board use in considering and establishing flood control benefit assessments for FY 2020-21.
Attachment 1 shows the actual benefit assessment rates levied in fiscal year 2019-20 and the expected benefit assessment rates to be levied in fiscal year 2020-21. Actual rates will be determined once annual land use information is received from the County Assessor in July.
