Facilities District to be known as the City of Orange Community Facilities
District No. 06-1 (Del Rio Public Improvements) (TllOO.0.2 CFD-
06-1)SUMMARY: North Orange Del Rio, LLC, a California limited liability
company, the developer of a 597 unit residential development project commonly referred to as
the Del Rio project, has asked the City to form a community facilities district pursuant
to the Mello-Roos Community Facilities District Act of 1982 and to authorize
the issuance and sale of bonds in the maximum aggregate principal amount not to exceed $47,
000,000, for the purpose of financing the cost of public improvements proposed to
be constructed as part of the
Del Rio project.In order to commence the Community Facilities District ("CFD")
formation process, the City entered into professional service contracts for the Financial
Advisor, Bond Counsel and the Special Tax Consultant back on December 14,2004. The next step
in this process is to adopt resolutions evidencing the City's intention to form the CFD and
to incur bonded indebtedness and to set a hearing to determine whether the public
interest, convenience and necessity require the issuance of bonds of the City
for the CFD.

NO. 10130 A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Orange declaring its intention
to incur bonded indebtedness of the proposed City of Orange Community Facilities District
No. 06-I (Del Rio
Public
Improvements)Discussion Mayor pro tern Cavecche stated that she has been trying to get special
assessment districts eliminated, but she understands this proposed district is different than
the current Landscape Maintenance Districts in the City as this district will actually assist
with water run off for public streets and
public facilities.She also expressed concern about the 2% maximum increase allowed under
this proposal;and wanted to ensure that the maximum allowed increase would be only enough
to cover
actual costs.David DeBerry, City Attorney, explained that the increase would only apply
if costs increase; that it will never increase over what the actual costs are; and that if no
index is established, any future increase would have to be voted on by
the
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES November 7,2006
Mayor Murphy indicated that the 2% does at least establish a cap for any increase.
Mayor pro tern Cavecche stated she will support this proposal only because it is different
from other landscape maintenance districts; and will accept the 2% maximum increase
because an index needs to be established.
