TITLE
Recommendation to adopt resolution establishing an annual special tax of $0.12 per square foot for Community Facilities District No. 2007-2 for commercial properties in Belmont Shore for Fiscal Year 2013 and authorizing the Los Angeles County Auditor-Controller to include on the 2012-13 Secured Tax Roll. (District 3)
DISCUSSION
In August 2008, the City Council approved and adopted the formation of Community Facilities District 2007-2 (CFD 2007-2) in Belmont Shore.
