[0:00] Okay.
[0:06] So
[0:11] today is August 27th at 8 p.m. We're meeting for, oh, 2026.
[0:33] We're meeting for the North
[0:35] Roe call. This is Jeff Hammer and Shiloh Baker to the city recorder to raise the down.
[0:45] Justin Brady.
[0:46] Judd Wendr.
[0:48] Camus Tenpist.
[0:49] Travis Brady.
[0:53] So our second item on our agenda is the presentation of the proposed property tax increase.
[1:03] So I have to go through any of these on just this day's stuff now.
[1:07] We do need to reap these statements.
[1:11] So the presentation of the proposed property tax increase, the North Poorless City Special
[1:17] Service District's proposed tax rate increase will generate an additional $38,064 in property
[1:24] tax revenue per year as a result of this increase.
[1:28] The additional property tax revenue to plus use to fund will be 20,000,000 poor increases
[1:35] in general maintenance cost, Fencing, Landscape, and Irrigation,
[1:40] 1,2003 increases in water costs, 744 toward the increase in street light maintenance costs,
[1:49] and 1,16,120 reduced funds from fund balance to cover expenses and balance the budget.
[1:59] Item 3 is the property tax, impact schedule for the fiscal year of 2026, 2027.
[2:08] So, with this, the North Toilet City Special Service District is considering an increase
[2:13] in property tax rate from 0.00429 to 0.00563, which exceeds the estimated certified tax
[2:23] rate and is estimated to generate an additional 38,064 in property tax revenue.
[2:31] And the information below is intended to provide the Board and the public with an explanation
[2:36] of how the district's operations would be affected if the property tax rate increase is adopted.
[2:44] So the current tax rate again is the 0, 0, 0, 4, 2, 9 and with the special service districts
[2:54] certified property tax revenue, currently is 121,862, with the proposed revenue with the change in
[3:04] tax, the
[3:08] budget would be $159,926, and then again the new property tax revenue would
[3:17] increase $38,064. So it's an estimated percentage increase to the property tax rate of 31%.
[3:25] As far as a residential home goes, the average cost is $382,162.
[3:36] The estimated tax rate of $917.
[3:40] Currently, the proposed tax rate would be $118,034.
[3:45] So the increase, what's that?
[3:48] You said $118,000.
[3:49] Oh, sorry, $184,000.
[3:51] I don't know that one.
[3:53] Okay, so that would be an increase per an average residential home of $28.17, which is
[4:01] an increase of $2.35 per month, which as we stated is an estimated increase of 31%.
[4:10] So for a commercial business, an average of $513,900, the estimated certified tax rate would
[4:20] would be $220.46, the proposed tax rate would be $289.33, so an increase of $68.86, which would
[4:32] mean an increase of $5.74 per month, or an overall 31% increase for the year.
[4:41] And then the lands, do I go through, if you want to do it?
[4:44] Any body?
[4:45] I don't know.
[4:47] Okay.
[4:50] Then I go ahead with public hearing.
[4:53] Sorry.
[4:55] Read item.
[4:57] Hey, public item number four is a public hearing and motion on Resolution 2026-05, a resolution
[5:05] of the North Tula City Special Service District Administrative Control Board adopting the final
[5:10] tax rate for the physical year 2026 and 2027.
[5:26] So the certified tax rate has been 0.000429 and
[5:32] it will increase to 0.000563 again for our physical year of 2026, 2027.
[5:41] And the board did the
[5:45] service district board did adopt the tentative budget on June 18th with the
[5:51] proposed tax rate increase of the point zero zero five six three four
[5:56] fiscal year 2026 2027. Again which exceeds our certified tax rate which is why
[6:03] this truth and taxation public hearing is required and why we're holding it at
[6:08] this time.
[6:14] So now at this time we'll go ahead and open this time for a public
[6:19] caring, so anybody from the public who would like to speak or ask questions can come forward.
[6:36] Right, this is how we can work. Okay, so and state your new plan. I'm Emily Peck, and I just want to
[6:46] look at more information, so that's what I came just to see what the proposed plans are for these
[6:54] areas where the changes are going to be made and I also want to know what the
[7:02] developers are adding to this or is it all on the backs of the people for these
[7:07] developments?
[7:11] So do you want to go through or I can speak
[7:13] part of that. So I'm that transparent. I'm the CPA for the service district
[7:18] I don't live in the service district area but I just do books and helps kind of
[7:24] with this proposal. So it's really just general maintenance. Over the past five
[7:29] years there's been a few changes to the service district. The first one was
[7:33] back in. She's meaning that letter which is not us.
[7:43] She's meaning the
[7:44] development changes in the different areas. That is the service district.
[7:50] Does that mean planning for the mission of the mining?
[7:52] Is that one?
[7:54] Sorry.
[7:55] Oh, you don't have a lot of information.
[7:57] Oh, was it yesterday?
[7:59] Okay.
[7:59] Do you know there's too many of these?
[8:01] No, no.
[8:02] What do you want to say?
[8:03] Do I still have the right to know?
[8:05] I'm here, so teach me.
[8:08] Yes, so the service district maintains the landscaping, fencing street lights in the
[8:17] over Lake area.
[8:19] We're not that cool.
[8:21] The high level is over the past five years additional costs
[8:24] that added water was one of them.
[8:26] So there was a city audit six years ago
[8:29] that the service district should have
[8:31] paying for the water costs in the service district area.
[8:34] So the city passed those costs to the service district.
[8:38] That ends up being about $20,000 to $25,000 per year,
[8:45] depending on when water is to start. Other things that have happened over the past few years,
[8:50] the service district landscape area doubled back in 2023.
[8:56] 2023-2024 it all got added in, so
[8:59] the landscaping area doubled, but the property tax base did not increase. There was some additional
[9:06] additional homes, the area, everything, everything, it was along 400 west.
[9:15] So, we've been on the king of law, or it's the age of 7 or 9, not all people that are
[9:20] hurt.
[9:21] Okay.
[9:22] Oh, because there's a fence.
[9:24] Like the Lexington rain?
[9:25] No, no.
[9:26] No, it's not.
[9:27] We're at the log bridges.
[9:28] You know where the log bridges that goes in and just get basically from there to 2010 or
[9:52] We are west right there but we don't go up to Lexington on the west side we the
[9:58] The service district maintains the landscape on the west side of Oregon west, but none of those homes are in any service districts.
[10:07] I see.
[10:08] Because the road is included in the service district.
[10:11] Is that right?
[10:12] It was mapped back at the time they had a lawsuit and stuff, so we had to go with what the lawsuit said.
[10:22] And so, and otherwise it's all overlay.
[10:26] One thing is, there's all the green space, all the sides of the sidewalk, I said everyone
[10:35] in the 2,000 from the average.
[10:38] For example, my fence, for my backyard fence is not my fence.
[10:42] So, as well, what we could do is get information of how to go online, under the website, on the City
[10:48] website and it'll show you what's included in the district. So you can see it
[10:53] visually instead of a strand exploring it to you. That's great. I'm trying to look
[10:58] up stuff related to it at one point. Of course, again, I wasn't the wrong
[11:02] meeting but but Jen's right. I need to know this because people ask me stuff
[11:09] anyway and I do represent Syria in the house. So like Travis was saying
[11:14] basically I think it's been 2000 since the district's been in place. So we've had
[11:22] like our irrigation, our fencing things like that. I mean it's been over 20 years.
[11:30] Things are going to eventually wear down and you're going to have to repair them and stuff.
[11:34] And it's come to that point in the process that if we don't have any extra money,
[11:39] then we won't be surviving because we have to maintain the fences and the irrigation systems
[11:45] and the increases that are asked for by the maintenance people and stuff.
[11:52] So every good piece of 400 days needs the services that are worth more than the supply.
[12:00] Yeah, it'd be best to have you look at that instead of giving you a general,
[12:05] It's general, but yeah, Shylove's going to show you there.
[12:23] So this service is a certain case for the vault.
[12:26] No, that's private.
[12:28] That's all private.
[12:28] Okay, so it's just all of these bits,
[12:31] and then we got these other little bits.
[12:35] And there has been some little bits that have been annexed
[12:39] from 2,300 north in that area.
[12:48] That'll eventually...
[12:48] So, the other thing we managed as part of this is, you know, when you go to Arleic and you see, like, street like poles and stop sign poles, they will look different than the rest of the city.
[13:02] Like, we had them created, like, decorative poles
[13:08] for you.
[13:10] And so, the service district also maintains the difference in that.
[13:14] So, when Arleic was created, they tried to create a neighborhood.
[13:17] separate from the age away but the services are kind of just some of these upgraded things like all the flowers and the roundabout on 2000 we pay for it because like other city neighborhoods don't really have public kind of you know green spaces
[13:44] So if I could change my question, then that'd be okay, okay, okay, okay, I don't want to object, but since I'm here, and I am interested,
[14:05] So do the people, is there a certain, this is probably the best way to say, is there a certain amount that you can raise your taxes each time or do you, like do you do it regularly raising the taxes by a certain percentage or a amount?
[14:22] Or you specifically look at what, like you get costs and comparisons, I'm trying to get the needs all, like, in that side you do it.
[14:32] Like Travis was saying, he does our budget and things for us and we had the records from the past and we just tried to use those records to project what we're going to use in the future.
[14:42] I mean last time it was five years ago was you know the water got out of it and the
[14:50] give the service to the 15% increase to account for the water that had never been paid
[14:55] for by the service district and then this is I haven't had time to take it.
[15:03] So, like this one's related to infrastructure, fence needs to be replaced, like he said, though, if the developer's going to ask for a, like a three to five percent increase and we approve that, and we don't increase the taxes, then we're down that much money. So, we have to estimate what's going to happen with our
[15:30] infrastructure like Travis was saying and try to be ahead on that so we don't have
[15:36] to make up a higher tax rate. But like you were saying we're gonna have to hope
[15:40] a meeting like this each year in order to increase to stay up with the increase
[15:46] in service costs and different things like that.
[15:50] This should cover you for the...
[15:52] Yeah, we're hoping XV is to do it for us.
[15:54] I think the reason why I wonder about it is just because
[15:59] the bullet is the highest tax accounting in the state.
[16:03] And a lot of people don't know that.
[16:05] And so that's the one thing I hear the very, very most
[16:08] is probably tax, probably tax.
[16:10] So this gets lumped into that in people's minds, right?
[16:13] So then it's going to be like that again, right?
[16:19] It's cool.
[16:21] That's your culprit, actually, right there.
[16:24] But still, anything ends up turning into, in their mind,
[16:28] even though the seat of bill is right.
[16:31] Yeah, that's it.
[16:32] And we are like the top of the top in the state right now.
[16:36] Yeah.
[16:38] Because of this.
[16:44] So any other, what's that?
[16:46] Any other questions from anybody on the open public comment?
[16:53] Okay.
[16:54] We'll go ahead and close the public comment and go to our fifth item on the agenda.
[16:59] Oh what's that yeah I have to adopt the so may I have a motion to adopt the tax rate
[17:11] that we have stated to increase for the 202627 fiscal year of 0.00563
[17:27] I'll make the motion to accept that.
[17:30] Okay, Jed.
[17:31] Winder has made a motion for that.
[17:32] May I have a second?
[17:34] I'll second.

[17:51] six. A resolution of the North Coast City Special Services Control Board adopting the final
[17:57] budget for Twillis City for fiscal year 2026 and 27. So may I have a motion to propose
[18:06] adopting this budget, the final budget that you see there for the fiscal year of 2026, 2027?
[18:19] Okay, yeah, we'll open the public hearing with any questions on that of the proposed tax rate here.
[18:30] Nobody come forward will close the public hearing on that.
