AGENDA TITLE: 1996-97 Tax Rate for Bond Interest and Redemption (Information Only)
MEETING DATE: September 18, 1996
PREPARED BY: Finance Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council be informed that there is no need to establish
the 1996-97 rate for bond interest and redemption as the Municipal
Improvement Bonds approved in 1965 matured during 1995-96.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Proposition 13 allows the City Council to establish a tax rate which
exceeds 1 percent to recover the amount needed to pay the bond debt service for voter approved
indebtedness. The City Council was required to set the property tax rate for redemption of the Municipal
Improvement Bonds approved by the voters in 1965. These bonds matured during 1995-96. Therefore,
there is no longer a need to set the property tax rate to cover the estimated debt service for interest and
redemption of principal.
FUNDING: None
