Article III — Changes in Authorized Facilities, Services and Special Taxes

Except as otherwise provided in this article, the city council may, at any time, after conducting a public hearing, eliminate one or more of the types of facilities and services specified in the resolution of formation to establish the existing district but may not finance any types of facilities and services that were not specified in the resolution of formation.

(Ord. 2466 § 2 (3-1), 1989)

The city council shall not adopt a resolution of consideration to reduce the rate of any special tax or terminate the levy of any special tax if the proceeds of that tax are being utilized to retire any debt incurred pursuant to this chapter unless the city council determines that the reduction or termination of that tax would not interfere with the timely retirement of that debt. Otherwise, the city council may adopt a resolution of consideration when:

A.

If the city council determines that the public convenience and necessity require any change in the types of authorized facilities or services which should be financed by an established community facilities district, that the rate or method of apportionment of a special tax should be changed, or that a new special tax should be proposed, the city council may adopt a resolution of consideration to alter the types of facilities or services to be financed by the district, to levy a new special tax or special taxes, or, except as provided in subsection B of this section, to alter the rate or method of apportionment of the special tax; or

B.

If a petition signed by fifty percent or more of the registered voters residing in the district, or by the owners of fifty percent or more of the territory within the district, is filed with the city clerk requesting that proceedings be commenced to change the types of facilities or services financed by the district or that the rate or method of apportionment of an existing special tax be changed, or that a new special tax be levied, the city council shall within ninety days thereafter adopt a resolution of consideration in the form specified in Section 3.36.460 to make those changes within the community facilities district. Any petition filed by landowners shall be accompanied by the payment of such fee as the finance director determines is sufficient to compensate the city for all costs incurred in conducting proceedings pursuant to this article.

(Ord. 2466 § 2 (3-2), 1989)

(Ord. No. 3112, § 4, 2-25-20)

(Ord. 2466 § 2 (3-3), 1989)

The city clerk shall give or cause to be given notice of the hearing in the same manner, containing the same information, as applicable, and within the same time as provided for the giving of notice of a hearing on a resolution of intention to establish a community facilities district under Section 3.36.250.

(Ord. 2466 § 2 (3-4), 1989)

(Ord. No. 3112, § 4, 2-25-20)

The provisions of Sections 3.36.270 through 3.36.430 shall apply to the proceedings for changes.
