CONTINUATION OF CONSIDERATION OF ADOPTION OF RESOLUTIONS RELATING TO STORM DRAIN
BOND MEASURE: The City Manager introduced the purpose of the meeting which was to
adopt two proposed Resolutions. one Resolution is required by the Elections Code
Section 9401, which was the Tax Rate statement to be mailed to voters within the City.
The second Resolution is the good faith resolution that establishes some limits for this
issuance, restricting the use to storm drains only, project priorities, limits maximum
bond interest rate, limits bond term to 25 years and establishes a maximum tax rate. He
provided the Council with an analysis which explained the tax rate.
The City Attorney advised that there has to be a Resolution passed by a two-thirds vote
of all the City Council determining that the public interest of necessity demands the
acquisition, construction or completion of any municipal improvement. There needs to
be language that says the City Council has determined there is a demand for the
construction or completion of flood control facilities and he suggested that the
Resolution be amended to add the language as prescribed in Government Code Section
43607.
Due to the lack of two-thirds of the Council present at the meeting, mayor Bowman
contacted Councilmember Age by telephone in the presence of the other
Councilmembers, the City Attorney and City Manager. it was then moved by
Councilmember Jones and seconded by Councilmember Kerry to adopt the Resolution,

to voters within the City.
