The Act only applies to any local special tax measure or local bond measure adopted on or after January 1, 2001 in accordance with Section 50075.1 of the Government Code. The City has formed two Community Facilities Districts -- Community Facilities District No. 2005-1 (Public Safety Services) and Community Facilities District No. 2007-1 (Tribal Land). Both districts were formed to finance the costs and expenses of providing public safety services and related equipment on a pay-as-you go basis from an annual special tax levy. The special taxes are subject to the Act.
