costs otherwise incurred in order to carry out the authorized purposes of the District. If and to the extent
feasible the Services and Facilities shall be provided in common within the existing District and the
Territory.
5. Special Taxes. It is the further intention of this Board of Directors body that, except where
funds are otherwise available, a special tax sufficient to pay for the Services and Facilities and related
incidental expenses authorized by the Act, secured by recordation of a continuing lien against all non-
exempt real property in the Territory, will be levied annually within the boundaries of such Territory. For
further particulars as to the rate and method of apportionment of the proposed special tax, reference is
made to Exhibit "C" (the "Special Tax Formula"), which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by this
reference and which sets forth in sufficient detail the method of apportionment of such special tax to allow
each landowner or resident within the proposed Territory to clearly estimate the maximum amount that
such person will have to pay.
The special tax proposed to be levied within the Territory shall be equal to the special tax levied to
pay for the Services and Facilities in the existing District, except that a higher or lower special tax may be
levied within the Territory to the extent that the actual cost of providing the Services and Facilities in the
Territory is higher or lower than the cost of providing those Services and Facilities in the existing District.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the special tax may not be levied at a rate which is higher than the maximum
special tax authorized to be levied pursuant to the special tax formula.
The special taxes herein authorized shall be collected in the same manner as ad valorem property
taxes and shall be subject to the same penalties, procedure, sale and lien priority in any case of
delinquency, as applicable for ad valorem taxes; however, as applicable, this legislative body may, by
resolution, establish and adopt an alternate or supplemental procedure as necessary. Any special taxes
that may not be collected on the County tax roll shall be collected through a direct billing procedure by the
Rancho Cucamonga Fire Protection District, acting for and on behalf of the District.
Upon recordation of a Notice of Special Tax Lien pursuant to Section 3114.5 of the Streets and
Highways Code of the State of California, a continuing lien to secure each levy of the special tax shall
attach to all non-exempt real property in the Territory and this lien shall continue in force and effect until
the special tax obligation is prepaid and permanently satisfied and the lien canceled in accordance with
law or until collection of the tax by the legislative body ceases.
The maximum special tax rate authorized to be levied within the District shall not be increased as
a result of the annexation of the Territory to the District.
