STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption.
SUGGESTED MOTION
I move to adopt Resolution No. 2019-0014.
DISCUSSION
This resolution has the effect of approving the 2020 budget for the Rancho Sahuarita Community
Facilities District in the amount of $447,060 and to establish a tax levy of $4.99 per $100 of net assessed
valuation on property within the District. There have been no changes to the Tentative Budget, which
was approved oby Resolution 2019-0013 at the May 28th Board meeting. Notice of this public hearing
have been published according to State statutes.
Revenues
The budget includes a total property tax levy of $4.99 per $100 of net assessed valuation on property
located within the District’s boundaries, as follows:
$4.69 per on hundred dollars of net assessed valuation to pay for annual debt service
obligations, pursuant to the District’s development agreement, and
Packet Pg. 7
5
Rancho Sahuarita Community Facilities District Agenda Communication
$0.30 per one hundred dollars of net assessed valuation to pay for District operating and
maintenance costs.
The District’s net taxable assessed valuation is $1,569,791, a 33% increase over last year’s value of
$1,184,469. At the aforementioned tax rate, property taxes in 2020 will total $76,370 after allowances
for uncollected amounts.
Pursuant to the District’s development agreement with the Rancho Sahuarita companies, the budget
includes $370,690 in developer contributions that will cover any funding shortfalls, namely those
associated with District’s debt.
The District spent all of its bond proceeds in prior years on the acquisition of infrastructure. As such, no
investment earnings are anticipated during the year.
Expenditures
The budget includes $2,320 for administrative costs and $18,850 for engineering and street
maintenance costs; operations total of $21,170.
Debt service includes principal and interest payments of $129,000 and $291,890, respectively, on the
District’s outstanding bonds ($5.78 million). Other debt service of $5,000 includes banking and trustee
fees to administer bond accounts.
Fund Balances
The District will have no ending fund balances as it consumes all of its available resources and requires
developer contributions to fulfill its obligations.
Other Information
The District, although a legally separate entity, is considered a blended component unit of the Town of
Sahuarita for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the Town has established a separate fund (i.e.,
special revenue fund) to incorporate the District’s financial records into the Town’s financial reporting
entity.
