In response to Mr. Thornhill, City Clerk Jones confirmed that staff has not received any written protest with regard to this matter. In light of there being no written protest, Deputy City Manager Thornhill advised that the City may proceed with the approval of the annexation, noting that annexation has been set for July 1, 2001. Finance Director Roberts summarized the most recent fiscal impact analysis data, noting the following: · That the analysis data reviewed the types of revenues generated by the annexation as well as the costs associated with the annexation Minutes.csd\021301 4 · That with the inclusion of the sales tax reimbursement agreement proposed with the County of Riverside, the City would anticipate, over a 10-year period, netting approximately $2.8 million with the annexation · That the analysis does reflect the delay of the commercial area for one year · That if the Wal'Mart issue were not resolved to the benefit of the City and were indefinitely delayed, it would take the City approximately four to five years to break even; therefore, the City would experience a deficit for the first four years, noting that those number are based on the assumption that the County would retain the commercial site and no other development would occur · That it would be a fair estimate, based on current per capita sales tax generation for the City, that Vail Ranch (approximately 6,000 residents) would roughly generate $125 million of which 1% would be allocated to the City at $1.25 million a year · That for every year Wal'Mart is not operating, the City could loose approximately $200,000 year. City Attorney Thorson commented on the revised resolution approving the annexation with the assumption there would not be more than a 25% protest subject to the appropriate tax revenue reimbursement agreements with the County and confirmation of the TCSD charges. Community Services Director Parker reviewed the proposed TCSD rates and charges (of record); continued with a brief overview of the special Measure C tax which was passed by the residents of the City on March 4, 1997, and established a single-family, special residence tax for park, recreation, and slope maintenance and traffic signals and median maintenance; and advised that the November 1999, Special Election determined that the residents of Vail Ranch were in favor (by over 90%) of the annexation as well as the City special tax for park and recreation services. Mr. Parker noted that the proposed ordinance would extend this special tax to the Vail Ranch area once the annexation has been finalized and confirmed that the Vail Ranch residents' rates and charges will be annually reduced by $38.00. City Attorney Thorson clarified that all rates and charges and special taxes extended are the same as those which were originally proposed in the annexation proceedings. City Clerk Jones noted that staff has not received any written protest with regard to this matter. At this time, Mayor Comerchero opened the public hearing.
