a future agenda. I have no cards. Speaker cards for this one.
[1:06]
Anybody like to address the district board? Seeing no movement, I will close the call public.
[1:12]
Move to item number four, which is the consent agenda and retain a motion at this time.
[1:21]
Some moved. Second. We have a motion in the second. All those in favor of signify by aye.
[1:26]
Aye. Any opposed? Motion carries unanimously. And now we come to item number five,
[1:32]
Madam Clerk. Discussion and possible adoption of resolution number 49, regarding the
[1:38]
Coil Creek Community Facilities District, 2026 tentative budget. Thank you. And we have a return visit
[1:46]
from our district treasurer for the Coil Creek Community Facilities District. Mr. Marriottie. Mr. Chairman,
[1:52]
I missed the days of the really long read of the agenda language.
[1:58]
Well, it was challenged you to be shorter than the reading of it, but you always failed me, so
[2:03]
we figure it was just cut down on the agenda item. So tonight, the Coil Creek Community Facilities
[2:10]
District Board will have an opportunity to adopt its tentative budget for fiscal year 2026,
[2:16]
which also commences on July 1. The tentative budget sets the budget ceiling for the year ahead,
[2:23]
and the final budget, whatever gets approved, can't be any higher than what's adopted tonight.
[2:30]
So a little bit of information about the Coil Creek District, it was formed on September 12, 2005.
[2:37]
It encompasses 1,192 acres all within the Salwadi at the town limits. And at Buildout,
[2:44]
it's planned to have 2,600 residential units in it. Now, I should point out that in some
[2:51]
of the confusion at times is the Coil Creek Community Facilities District is not the entire
[2:57]
Coil Creek Community Development. So that development is actually 2,113 acres total. And so the
[3:05]
district represents about 56% of the Coil Creek Development. So not everybody that lives out there
[3:12]
is subject to what we're going to talk about tonight. So the county assessor provided us a new
[3:18]
information in January about the assessed valuations on properties within the district and the latest
[3:23]
information indicates that there are 1,497 residential units in the district that represents a
[3:31]
58% buildout figure. This is 94 more than last year. So we've had 70 about, sorry, 7% growth rate
[3:40]
in the number of units in the district. About 5% of those are 69 are listed as rental properties.
[3:50]
So this slide provides some historical information on the property values. You can see the
[3:56]
trajectory of growth over time because the growth for a while was sort of a slow and steady,
[4:01]
but it has picked up in more recent years. latest valuation of all property is $52.3 million and that
[4:11]
is $5.2 million or 11% more than last year. The district is a tax-loving public improvement district
[4:23]
whose purpose is to finance the acquisition and maintenance of public infrastructure and facilities.
[4:29]
And when it was formed, there was a bond election that authorized $30 million in bond capacity
[4:35]
and also authorized a secondary property tax to repay those bonds. Shortly thereafter, $12.7 million
[4:44]
in bonds were issued. So that would leave us with $17.3 million in available bond capacity for the future
[4:52]
potentially. Of the bonds that were issued, $4.3 million remains outstanding and they will be paid off
[5:00]
by the end of fiscal year 2030. At that point in time, the property tax that we're going to talk about here
[5:06]
in a minute that's for debt service is going to go to zero unless additional bonds are issued and there's no plans for that.
[5:14]
All right, so what did the bonds pay for? They paid for Campbell Avenue, Quill Creek Parkway,
[5:21]
portions of Quill Creek Veterans Municipal Park including land acquisition, numerous wash crossings,
[5:28]
landscaping, and sewer lines. So even though the district is legally separate from the town,
[5:36]
because the district board are also council members and because town staff also function as
[5:43]
district staff, and we use the same policies, procedures, and resources that governmental accounting
[5:49]
standards board says that and he's be pulled into the town's financial reports. Otherwise,
[5:54]
it would be misleading to the general public. As such, the town considers that a blended component unit
[6:01]
and it's reported as a town special revenue fund in the town's financial reports. And other than the
[6:07]
budget schedules that you have before you, the district does not issue separate financial reports.
[6:14]
So with that, the tentative budget for a 2026 is programmed at 1,107,640 dollars. The budget is balanced
[6:23]
and that are financing sources are equal to our financing uses. This budget is higher than the current
[6:30]
budget by about $22,000, so it's a 0.2% increase in the overall budget.
[6:37]
This slide provides a composition of the district's revenues and sources. The district levees a property
[6:45]
tax and that tax provides 98% of the total resources for the district. And that total is $1.09 million.
[6:53]
There are two components to the property tax, a debt service component and an operations and maintenance
[6:59]
component. The combined tax rate is $2.26 per $100 of net taxable assessed valuation.
[7:09]
And that will be a 14 cents lower than the current fiscal year. That represents a 6% reduction in the tax rate.
[7:19]
So all things being equal, the average homeowner is going to save about $7 next year, which is a 1%
[7:25]
reduction on their tax liability. So we have a 6% reduction in the rate. But again, that is
[7:32]
only one side of the equation. The other side are the assessed values. So the fact that 6% rate reduction
[7:38]
by 1% liability change means that on average the homes out there increased in valuation by about 5%
[7:46]
since last year. So of this tax rate, 30 cents goes for operations and maintenance and a dollar
[7:54]
96 will go for debt service. And again, in 2030, that debt service component will go away entirely.
[8:00]
And the tax rate will just stay 30 cents in perpetuity to pay for operations and maintenance
[8:06]
of infrastructure that was acquired. We've programmed in $5,000 for potential interest earnings.
[8:14]
And that's mostly from property tax collections that will sit in a trust account.
[8:19]
And then our beginning fund balances rounded off at $13,300. And that's collections in the current
[8:27]
year that are going to carry forward to next year to be used to make future debt service payments.
[8:36]
This slide provides a composition of the district's expenditures. As you can see, the vast majority
[8:41]
86% and $153,000 goes towards making debt principal and interest payments as well as some banking fees.
[8:50]
And then operations only makes up 14% or $154,000 of the total budget.
[8:57]
That operating budget will pay for district administration, street and right-of-way maintenance,
[9:04]
and will pay for a portion of the costs for the Quill Creek Veterans Municipal Park.
[9:10]
There are no ending fund balances here because the district is expected to consume all of its resources during the year.
[9:18]
So with that, the resolution that you have before you, if you adopt it, would approve the fiscal year
[9:24]
2026 tentative budget. It requires us to file the budget with the district clerk and make it available on the website.
[9:32]
And the resolution also establishes a public hearing and notice for a final budget adoption on June 23, 2025.
[9:40]
Thank you, Chairman. Appreciate it. Any questions for our district treasurer?
[9:44]
Seeing none, I will open that up for a motion, please.
[9:49]
Mr. Mayor, I moved to adopt the resolution number of 49.
[9:54]
We have a motion in a second, any further discussion? All those in favor signify by aye. Aye. Any opposed?
[10:01]
Motion carries unanimously. Having no more further business of the Quill Creek Facilities District,
[10:06]
we're adjourned and returned to our regular-
