Adopt budget resolution (Att. D) increasing the Knights Landing Fire Protection District (KLFPD) 2024-25 budget by $297,663 to record an increase in revenue due to County Fire Sustainability Funding and the successful passage of a special assessment pursuant to Proposition 218, with such increased revenues to be used to hire firefighter(s) and for the purchase of a water tender (tanker).

The KLFPD did not foresee the passing of a special assessment when the original budget was set and approved. KLFPD began the Proposition 218 assessment process last year and the KLFPD Board adopted Resolution No. 2024-05 on August 12, 2024, following a noticed public hearing and weighted ballot process, to levy an annual special assessment on properties within the District (Att. A).  KLFPD has already received 3 of the 4 quarterly payments totaling $98,102.25, and they anticipate an additional payment of $32,700.75 in June 2025. They also received a property assessment of $151,497.76 related to the 2024 Proposition 218 approval that is in excess of what was planned for in the original budget. Additionally, KLFPD will use existing Development Impact Fees (DIF) of $30,000 to assist with the purchase of the new water tender. The budget adjustment was approved by the KLFPD Board of Commissioners on March 10, 2025 (Att. C). 

The KLFPD revised FY24-25 budget (Att. B) includes:
1.) Sustainability Claim Quarter 1 FY24-25 Distribution

2.) Sustainability Claim Quarter 2 FY24-25 Distribution

3.) Sustainability Claim Quarter 3 FY24-25 Distribution

4.) Sustainability Claim Quarter 4 FY24-25 Distribution 

5.) Property Tax Current Secured Levy FY24-25

6.) Increase in use of DIF fund balance

Yolo County Department of Financial Services Accounts Payable/Special Districts has been working closely with the Knights Landing Fire Protection District to complete items required for their budget revision.
