Voter approval of this measure
provided the
District with the authority to sell up to $77.5 million in
general obligation bonds. However, the bonds will be sold only as
funding is needed to meet the cash flow requirements of the construction
projects. As a result, the sale of the bonds would occur in phases,
with two or three issuances likely.
Press Release
In the first two years, the anticipated tax rate
will be .07 cents per $1,000 of assessed value.
In 2009, as more construction projects begin and
the remaining bonds are borrowed, the tax rate
is expected to increase to a maximum of
approximately .15 cents per $1,000 of assessed
value. By 2013, the individual tax rate is
expected to decline slightly as new residents
and businesses share the fixed annual cost of
TVF&R's bond payment.
Over the life of the bond, the average cost to the typical homeowner
is expected to be approximately $29/year.
