Full summary

Community Facilities District No. 11 (Ponte Vista) is a special tax district governed under California's Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act. Each fiscal year, the district must levy taxes on parcels within its boundaries to fund infrastructure improvements, maintenance, and public facilities serving the district. This file establishes the annual special tax for fiscal year 2026-27, setting the levy through a city ordinance as required by the district's formation documents. The City Attorney prepared and submitted the draft ordinance, dated May 26, 2026, and transmitted it to the Council on May 28. The measure was immediately referred to the Budget and Finance Committee, which convened a special meeting on June 4, 2026 to consider it. The committee took public comment, then voted to approve the ordinance and forward it to the full Council. Voting yes were members Yaroslavsky, Hutt, McOsker, and Hernandez; Blumenfield was absent. The committee report noted that no fiscal impact statement was submitted by the City Attorney and that neither the City Administrative Officer nor the Chief Legislative Analyst had completed a financial analysis. On June 17, 2026, the City Council adopted the ordinance unanimously, 15-0, processing it forthwith. The City Clerk transmitted the file to the Mayor on June 23, and the ordinance was signed before the July 6 deadline. It was published and took effect on July 10, 2026. The file is now complete and operative. The special tax levy is in effect for the 2026-27 fiscal year, and property owners within the Ponte Vista CFD will be assessed accordingly. No further legislative action is required unless the district seeks to modify the levy for a subsequent fiscal year.
