SUBJECT: INITIATION OF ANNEXATION NO. 16 TO COMMUNITY FACILITIES
DISTRICT NO. 2005-1 (PUBLIC SAFETY SERVICES)
FROM: David H. Ready, City Manager
BY: Assistant City Manager/ City Engineer
SUMMARY
The City Council previously established Community Facilities District 2005-1 (Public
Safety Services) (CFD 2005-1) in September 2005, to levy a special tax on properties
identified as "fee status" (non-Indian Allottee Leased or non-Tribal Trust properties)
located within the City, to provide a financing mechanism to sustain the delivery of
public safety services to new residential developments located on those properties.
This action declares the City Council's intention to annex additional properties identified
as Annexation No. 16 (for Tract Map No. 31848 — "Miralon"); the action also schedules
a Public Hearing for April 19, 2017, to officially annex these additional properties into
CFD 2005-1.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Resolution No. , "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF PALM SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA, DECLARING ITS INTENTION TO ANNEX
TERRITORY INTO A COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT AND TO AUTHORIZE THE
LEVY OF SPECIAL TAXES FOR CITY OF PALM SPRINGS COMMUNITY FACILITIES
DISTRICT NO. 2005-1, (PUBLIC SAFETY SERVICES), ANNEXATION NO. 16,
MIRALON, TRACT MAP NO. 31848".
STAFF ANALYSIS:
The City Council created Community Facilities District 2005-1 (Public Safety Services)
(CFD 2005-1) to allow the City to levy a special tax on certain properties identified as
"fee status" (non-:Indian Allottee Leased or Tribal Trust properties) located within the
City, to provide a financing mechanism to sustain the delivery of public safety services
to new residential developments located on those properties. This type of financing
program, which is authorized under the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982,
envisioned the participation of all future new residential development projects on "fee
status" lands, either by formation of new districts or as an annexation into CFD 2005-1.

City Council Staff Report
March 15, 2017-- Page 3
Initiation of Annexation No. 16—"Miralon'TM 31848 to CFD 2006-1
In order to commence the annexation process, the City Council is required to adopt a
Resolution of Intention for the annexation. This Resolution sets forth terms and
conditions for annexing properties into CFD 2005-1 and includes the rate and method of
apportionment of the special tax to be levied. This Resolution also schedules a Public
Hearing on the proposed annexation, which by statute must be held within 30-60 days
following the adoption of this Resolution. In accordance with this requirement, staff
recommends that the Public Hearing be scheduled for April 19, 2017. Pursuant to the
Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982, there are less than 12 registered voters in
each of the properties to be annexed into CFD 2005-1; therefore, the special election
will be a landowner vote within the annexation.
Prior to the public hearing, property owners within the annexation will return a petition
with waivers to the City, waiving certain timing and noticing requirements related to
Election Code, which will enable the City to expedite the annexation process by
conducting the special election during the April 19, 2017, Public Hearing. Included with
the Resolution of Intention, the City Council also establishes the boundaries of the
territory to be annexed into CFD 2005-1.
The special tax that is currently being assessed on properties within CFD 2005-1 is
based upon a Fiscal Impact Analysis that was prepared by MuniFinancial. Based on
this analysis, the Fiscal Year 2016/17 special tax for a single-family residence is
$418.42 per year, and will increase by the annual escalation factor until it reaches the
maximum of $500. The Fiscal Year 2016/17 special tax for a multi-family residence is
$352.67, and cannot exceed the maximum of $500. The special tax is collected as part
of the Riverside County annual property tax bill.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
The requested City Council action is not a "Project' as defined by the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Pursuant to Section 15378(a), a "Project' means the
whole of an action, which has a potential for resulting in either a direct physical change
in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the
environment. The requested action is to authorize annexation of certain properties into
CFD 2005-1, and is exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15378(b), in that a 'Project'
does not include: (5) Organizational or administrative activities of governments that will
not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Following annexation of the residential development into CFD 2005-1, after construction
of the units (issuance of building permits), the special tax to be levied within the
development will generate an additional $455,015 annually, based on the Fiscal Year
2016/17 rates, to be used specifically for public safety services.

D. METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT OF THE SPECIAL TAX
Commencing with Fiscal Year 2006-07, and for each subsequent Fiscal Year, the
District Administrator shall calculate the Special Tax Requirement based on the

levied each Fiscal Year on each Assessor's Parcel of Developed Property
Proportionately between Developed Single-Family Residence and Developed Multi-
Family Residence up to 100% of the applicable Maximum Special Tax. Second, if the
Special Tax Requirement has not been satisfied by the first step, then the Special Tax
shall be levied each Fiscal Year on each Assessor's Parcel of Entitled Property up to
100% of the applicable Maximum Special Tax for Entitled Property. Lastly, if the first two
steps have not satisfied the Special Tax Requirement, then the Special Tax shall be
levied each Fiscal Year on each Assessor's Parcel of Undeveloped Property up to 100%
of the applicable Maximum Special Tax for Undeveloped Property.
E. APPEALS
Any tax payer that believes that the amount of the Special Tax assigned to an
Assessor's Parcel is in error may file a written notice with the District Administrator
appealing the levy of the Special Tax. This notice is required to be filed with the District
Administrator during the Fiscal Year the error is believed to have occurred. The District
Administrator or designee will then promptly review the appeal and, if necessary, meet
with the taxpayer. If the District Administrator verifies that the tax should be changed the
Special Tax Levy shall be corrected and, if applicable in any case, a refund shall be
granted.
F. EXEMPTIONS
1. Residential Property
Residential Properties which annually meet one or more of the following standards
shall be exempt from payment of the Special Tax:
a. A Residential Property consisting of one or two person(s) earning $15,300 or less
gross income per year, upon complying with procedures to establish such
exemption, or
b. A Residential Property consisting of three persons earning $17,900 or less gross
income per year, upon complying with procedures to establish such exemption,
or
�g
c. A Residential Property which qualifies for either the Low Income Rate Assistance
(LIRA) exemption for electrical or gas services or the Lifeline exemption for
telephone services.
The City is authorized and directed to promulgate administrative rules and procedures
for verification of eligibility for the exemptions referred to in section F.
G. MANNER OF COLLECTION
Special Tax as levied pursuant to Section D above shall be collected in the same
manner and at the same time as ordinary ad valorem property taxes; provided, however,
that the District Administrator may directly bill the Special Tax, many collect Special
Taxes at a different time or in a different manner if necessary to meet the financial
obligations of the District or as otherwise determined appropriate by the District
Administrator.
H. TERM OF SPECIAL TAX
Every Five years after the establishment of the District, the City Council may reexamine,
if deemed necessary by City Council, the necessity of the continuance of the Special
Tax through the preparation of a Fiscal Impact Analysis, otherwise the Special Tax shall
be levied in perpetuity.
