TITLE
Recommendation to adopt resolution establishing an annual special tax of $0.14 per square-foot for Community Facilities District No. 2007-2 for commercial properties in Belmont Shore for Fiscal Year 2021, and authorizing the Los Angeles County Auditor-Controller to be included on the 2020-21 Secured Tax Roll. (District 3)

DISCUSSION
On August 5, 2008, the City Council approved and adopted the formation of Community Facilities District 2007-2 (CFD 2007-2) in the area of Belmont Shore to allow for bond issuance, property acquisition, and to confirm district boundaries. In December 2009, the City issued bonds under CFD 2007-2, which repaid parking bonds and pledged parking meter revenues to the CFD 2007-2 bond.

It is recommended that the CFD 2007-2 assessment rate be set at $0.14 per square-foot of commercial property in the Fiscal Year 2021 (FY 21), unchanged from FY 20. From FY 06 to FY 18, the levy had been set at $0.12 per square-foot of commercial property. In FY 19, the levy was increased to $0.15, an increase of $0.03 per commercial property square-foot to cover projected operating costs, and consultant and trustee fees. In FY 20, updated projections showed an assessment rate of $0.14, a decrease of $0.01 per commercial square-foot, would suffice to cover operating costs, and consultant and trustee fees. The attached Resolution authorizes the City to establish the special tax levy.

This matter was reviewed by Deputy City Attorney Amy R. Webber on June 16, 2020 and by Budget Analysis Officer Julissa José-Murray on June 26, 2020.

TIMING CONSIDERATIONS
