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.
