STAFF ANALYSIS
Exhibit A of this resolution, attached here as Attachment A, is the statements and schedules presented for District Board adoption as the tentative budget for Fiscal Year 2027. The tentative budget represents the estimates for the operations and maintenance expenses, capital costs and other expenses to be paid from the tax levy, plus the amount needed for general obligation bond debt service expenses.
Although general obligation bonding authority remains for this District, there are no capital improvements projects budgeted for Fiscal Year 2027 and there are no bond sales planned at this time.
The target combined tax rate for the District is $2.30 per $100 of net assessed valuation or less; however, the District is legally obligated to levy the amount necessary to service existing general obligation debt.
