TO: Honorable Chairperson and District Board
FROM: A.C. Marriotti, District Treasurer
MEETING DATE: December 9, 2019
SUBJECT: Discussion and possible action to direct staff to prepare a study of the feasibility
and benefits of issuing general obligation bonds to acquire public infrastructure.
FINANCIAL / BUDGET SUMMARY
Rancho Sahuarita CFD: Rancho Sahuarita Management Company, LLC (Developer) has submitted an
application requesting the issuance of general obligation bonds not to exceed $3.8 million.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Board's pleasure.
SUGGESTED MOTION
I move to direct District staff to prepare a feasibility study for the issuance of general obligation bonds
to acquire public infrastructure.
DISCUSSION
A.R.S. § 48-715 provides that before constructing or acquiring any infrastructure, a CFD Board shall
“cause a study of the feasibility and benefits of the project …” The Developer has provided the District
with a proposal (attached application), and staff has brought this matter to the Board in order to
determine whether the Board would like staff to prepare a feasibility report. The Developer will have an
opportunity to make a presentation to the Board at this meeting.
The Developer’s submittal proposes that the District issue general obligation bonds not to exceed
$3,800,000 for acquisition of the following public infrastructure:
· Rancho Sahuarita Blvd., Phase 8A Road Improvements
· Extension of Sahuarita Center Way from Calle Imperial to Rancho Sahuarita Blvd.
· 15” Public Sewer Main Extension along East Property Line
Project descriptions are provided in the attached application. At a future meeting, the District Board will
have more opportunity to discuss and consider each of these proposed projects, as well as other
infrastructure improvements that may eventually be included in the final feasibility report.

Rancho Sahuarita Community Facilities District Agenda Communication
If we are directed to complete a feasibility report, we will retain the services of our financial advisor and
bond attorney, and prepare the report. Pursuant to statutes, the report will include a description of any
public infrastructure to be constructed or acquired and all other information useful to understand the
project(s), a map showing, in general, the location of the project(s), an estimate of the cost to construct,
acquire, operate and maintain the project(s), an estimated schedule for completion of the project(s), a
map or description of the area to be benefited by the project(s) and a plan for financing the project(s).
Upon completion of the feasibility report, the District will need to hold a public hearing to allow
comment upon it, before the Board can act upon it. If the Board accepts and approves the feasibility
report, it can amend the District Development Agreement (if necessary) and authorize the issuance of
general obligations bonds for the acquisition of the infrastructure included in the report.
