CS-00031 0-1 LA 4B2-D24 - IMPARTIAL ANALVSISOF MEASURE S Measure S would authoriie the City Council of. .the City of Claremont to issue general obligation bonds in an amount that shall not exceed $12,500,000 to acquire approximately 180 acres of real property which will be deed restricted for open space use only. The property is commonly referred to as Johnson's Pasture and is undeveloped. TQ.e property is adjacent to the City's open space Wilderness Park and acquisition of the property would accomplish the City's long term plan to add property to the Wildemess Park and prevent development of the City's hillsides. General obligation bonds pledge a city's, property taxing power as security for payment of principal and interest to bond holders. Proposition 13 and Article ,XIIIA of the Calnomi~ Constitution limit the maximum amount of any ad valorem tax on real property to 1 %of the full cash value of the property. Proposition 13 and Article XIIIA allow voters to increase the property tax rate above 1% in connection with bonded indebtedness n (a) two-thirds of the electors voting on the proposition approve the issuance of general obligation bonds, and (b) the general obligation bonds are to be issued to finance the acquisiti?n or improvement of real property. The bonded indebtedness would be repaid by ad valorem taxes to be levied upo'n property within the City. The ,final maturity date of the proposed bond shall be no later than 3D years from the issuance of the bonds. The City's estimated tax rate for the proposed bond will be an average of approximately $24.73 per $100,000 of assessed value. After the bonds have been issued, it is possible that actual future assessed value could increase or decrease during the repayment period beyond the City's eStimate. In that event, the actual tax rate required to pay the debt service on the bonds could be less or more than the City's estimated tax rate. The City Council of the City of Claremont adopted ap. ordinance on .August 1, 2006, calling this election and submitting this Measure to a vote of the electors of the City. If a two-thirds majority voting on the Measure approve it, the City may proceed to sell the bon,ds, levy the appropriate taxes, and purchase the open space property. A "Yes" vote on Measure S is a vote to approve and allow for the City's sale of the bonds and imposition of the necessary taxes to pay for the bonds. A "No" vote on Measure S is a vote against the City's sale of the bonds and .imposition of the necessary taxes to pay for the borids. SONIA R. CARVALHO, City Attorney City of Claremont PR-900111-1 LA 482-025 - ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF MEASURE S A YES vote on Measure S would confirm what Claremoriters have been voicing since the 1970s,that it is critical to preserve the hillsides and protect the ecosystem. Adjacent to the Claremont Wildemess Park is Johnson's Pasture, a pristine 183- acre hillside open space. The private owners are moving forward to sell the property. Several developers have expressed interest in purchasing the property. Johnson's Pasture is a choice property for development because it is the only remaining level land. Claremonters cotisider this pasture an environmental sanctuary and an ideal place for hikers, cyclists, equestrians, a.nd, environmentalists of all ages to enjoy. It is also home to a variety of natIve flora and fauna, and keeping it open space is critical to secure the wildlife corridor across the San Gabriel Valley and to protect watershed. We, as your council members, believe the passage of a general obligation bond is the best option for funding the acquisition of this pasture. The average amount for each property will be only $24.73 per $100,000 of assessed property value annually. This will be less of a burden on seniors who purchased their homes many years ago. Now is the time for us, the community, to confirm our commitment to preserving open space. Vote YES and the funds from this 30-year fixed term bond would be used for the City's debt service 'on the purchase of this pasture. We cannot put a price on the quickly disappearing open space in the region. With yOur help, Claremont has the unique opportunity to stop urban sprawl and preserve open space for future generations. Vote YES On Measure S, help preserve what makes Claremont so unique and desirable. PETER S. YAO Mayor ELLEN TAYLOR Council.Member SANDY BALDONADO Council Member COREY CALA yeA Y Council Member NO ARGUMENT AGAINST THIS MEASURE WAS SUBMITTED PR-900111-2 LA 482-026 - STATEMENT IN. COMPLIANCE -. MEASURE S An election will be held in the City of Claremont (the "City") on November 7, 2000, to submit to electors of the City the question of whether to authorize the sale of up to $12,500~000 in bonds of the City to finance the acquisition of Johnson's Pasture 80S described in the ballot proposition. If the bonds are approved, the City expects to sell the bonds in one or more series over time. Principal and interest on the bonds will be payable from the proceeds of tax levies made upon the taxable property in the City. The information contained in numbered paragraphs 1 - 3 below is provided in compliance with Sections 9400- 9404 of the Elections Code of the State "of Caluomia. Such information is based on the best estimates and projections presently available from official sources, upon exp~rience withiti the City and other demonstrable factors. 1. The best estimate of the tax which would be required to be levied to fund "this bond issue during the first fiscal year after the sale of the first series of bonds, based on estimated assessed valuations available at the tim.e of filing of this statement, is 3.293 cents per $100 ($32,93 per $100,000) of assessed valuation in fiscal year 2007-08. 2. The best estimate of the tax rate which would be required to be levied to fund this bond issue during the first fiscal year after the sale of the last series of bonds, based art estimated assessed valuations available at the time of filing of this statement, is 3.293 .cents per $100 ($32.93 per $100,000) of assessed valuation in fiscal year 2007-08. . 3. The best estimate" of the highest tax rate which would be requireq to be levied to fund this bond issue, based on estimated assessed valuations available at the time of filing of this statement, is 3.293 cents per $100 ($32.93 per $100,000) of assessed valuation in fiscal year 2007-08. . . Voters should note that the estimated tax rates are based on the ASSESSED VALUE of taxable property on the County's official tax rolls, not on the property's market value. Property owners should consult thei!' own property tax bills to determine their property's. assessed value and any applicable tax exemptions. (Continued on next page) PR-900111-3 LA 482~ - STATEMENT IN COMPLIANCE - MEASURE S (Continued) Attention of all voters is directed to the fact that the foregoing information is based upon the City's projections and estimates only, which is not binding upon the City. The actual tax rates and the years in which they will apply may vary from those presently estimated, due to variations from these e.stimates in the timing of bond sales, the amount of bonds sold and market interest rates at the time. of each sale, and actual assessed valuations over the term of repayment of the bonds. The dates of sale and the amount of bonds sold at any given time will be determined by the City based on its need for construction funds and other factors. The actual interest rates at which the bonds will be .sold will depend on the bond market at the time of each sale. Actual future assessed valuation will depend upon the amount and value of taxable property within the City as. determined by the County Assessor in the annual assessment and the equalization proce~.
