NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that a copy of this Reso- lution shall be made available to prospective first buyers of homes within Improvement District No. 1 by the developers/ sellers in accordance with a condition to be included on future subdivision maps approved by the City of Yorba Linda. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED AND DECLARED to prospective home buyers as follows: The property you are considering for purchase is part of the Yorba Linda County Water District ("YLCWD") and re- ceives water service through facilities of YLCWD. In 1978 the then mostly vacant land in eastern Yorba Linda was added to YLCWD and "improvement districts" were created to help finance the water system to serve the land. The property you are considering is part of Improvement District No. 1 ("ID#1") and is subject to a property tax "override" to pay for ID#1 water bonds. $8.9 Million in water bonds have been sold since 1978 to finance the water system in ID#1. The bonds carry very , 4 - W 0 6 00 low interest rates of 6.6% and 6.8%. YLCWD finances the annual payments on these bonds through a combination of property taxes and special assessments on land within ID#l. The annual property tax rate is 18¢ per $100 of assessed value, and it is anticipated to continue at that rate until there is enough total assessed value to permit the tax rate to decline. For example, a $150,000 home will be subject to an annual water bond tax of $270 per year, over and above general property taxes of $1500 and other special property taxes of about $437 at present. The balance needed to pay the water bonds will be collected through special assessments against undeveloped land. YLCWD will probably need to issue additional water bonds to complete the water system for ID#1. This will permit more reliable water service, including fire protection, for the land already developed and will permit additional development to share in the cost, so that eventually the 18¢/$100 of assessed value tax rate can be reduced. The use of additional water bonds will not increase your annual water bond tax rate above 18¢/$100 of value.
