            METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT AND MAXIMUM ANNUAL RATE OR AMOUNT

            OF SPECIAL TAXES FOR COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT

            NO. 87-1 OF THE COUNTY OF RIVERSIDE, STATE OF CALIFORNIA

 

 

The special taxes to be levied annually following the issuance of the bonds of Community Facilities District No. 87-1 of the County of Riverside, State of California (the "Community Facilities District"), on taxable property within the boundaries of the Community Facilities District and to be collected during each fiscal year shall be apportioned on an acreage basis, and each acre of taxable property shall have levied thereon the same amount of special tax in each fiscal year.

 

The amount of special tax to be levied on each parcel of taxable property in the Community Facilities District, as recognized by the County Assessor of the County of Riverside, for each fiscal year shall be determined as follows:

 

(a) By dividing the total amount necessary to pay (i) the principal of and the interest on the bonds of the Community Facilities District which will be payable during the fiscal year and prior to the time of the receipt of sufficient special tax revenues for the payment of such principal and interest in the succeeding fiscal year, and (ii) the administrative expenses which are estimated to be incurred by and on behalf of the Community Facilities District during the fiscal year by the total number of acres of taxable property in the of Community Facilities District to obtain the special tax per acre for each parcel of taxable property; and

 

(b) By multiplying the total taxable acreage of the parcel by the special tax per acre for the fiscal year.

 

 

Administrative expenses include the costs and expenses estimated to be incurred by and on behalf of the Community Facilities District in each fiscal year for the levy and collection of special taxes, the payment of principal and interest on the bonds thereof, and registering, exchanging and transferring such bonds, including but not limited to the fees of engineers, special tax consultants, attorneys, paying agents, fiscal agents and trustees, and expenses incurred for the payment of fees for letter of credit and other credit enhancement costs.

 

The maximum rate or amount of special tax which may be levied on each acre of taxable property in the Community Facilities District for each fiscal year is $2,400.

 

It is estimated that the net taxable acreage of land within the Community Facilities District is 441.04 acres. Assuming (i) a bond issue for the Community Facilities District in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $6,720,000, (ii) interest on the bonds at the rate of 8.25 percent per annum (iii) a 25 year bond maturity schedule,

 

(iv) a reserve fund in an amount equal to 10 percent of the aggregate principal amount of the bonds issues, and that interest earnings on the reserve fund will be used for payment of principal and interest on the bonds, (v) that interest payable on the bonds will be capitalized or funded from bond proceeds for a period of 18 months, and (vi) that annual debt service on the bonds (the amount of principal and interest payable) and the amount of administrative expenses payable in each fiscal year following issuance of the bonds will initially be in the approximate amount of $580,000 and will increase by two (2) percent each year over the next 24 years to a maximum amount, including administrative expense, of approximately $906,000, the expected annual rate or amount of special tax per acre for each parcel of property within the Community Facilities District would vary from a low of approximately $634 to a high of approximately $1,900.
