ADOPT RESOLUTION WFRCFD RES 2023-085 APPROVING THE TENTATIVE BUDGET OF THE DISTRICT FOR THE FISCAL YEAR BEGINNING JULY 1, 2023, AND ENDING JUNE 30, 2024, AND SETTING A HEARING DATE FOR THE FINAL BUDGET AND TAX LEVY. (Ryan Bittle, District Finance Manager)
FISCAL IMPACT
The combined property tax is collected and used for operations and maintenance in Fiscal Year 2024, and general obligation bond debt service payments in Calendar Year 2024. For Fiscal Year 2024, the combined property tax levy will be $19,100. The approximate combined property tax rate projected using the preliminary net limited assessed valuation information from February 2023 is $0.30 per $100 of net limited assessed valuation, which is below the target rate of $2.60 per $100 of net limited assessed valuation.
There currently is no general obligation debt in the district, and the remaining fund balance of $3,800 in debt service along with a transfer from the operation and maintenance fund of $1,100 will be used to cover fiscal agent fees. The entire rate of $0.30 per $100 of net limited assessed valuation will be used for operations and maintenance for the District.
The total proposed Fiscal Year 2024 tentative budget is $66,500, which includes budget authority for the fund balance in the amount of $46,200.

STAFF ANALYSIS
Exhibit A of this resolution is the statements and schedules presented for District Board adoption as the tentative budget for Fiscal Year 2024. 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 2024 and there are no bond sales planned at this time.
The target combined tax rate for the District is $2.60 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.
