Great show, Don! We watched yesterday on You Tube. Your talk answered my questions and even some I didn't know that I had! LOL
Appreciate your taking the time to put this together and share with the masses. BTW, what's going on over at 470 & Meggison? LOL!!!! (Can't wait till they finally share the big secret with us.) |
Could you explain your $2800? What is included? Thanks

If you are referencing taxes and maintenance (and now the stupid fire assessment), NO ONE I know is paying $1000. Quote:

And if you are referring to the new way fire protection is assessed, remember the independent fire district was voted down, mostly due to the uninformed fear mongering and anti-developer stance of the POA, so now the county is in control, not TV. So while technically your cost of fire protection should remain the same, it is now up to the county to set the budget and you will pay what they decide. |

I probably missed it in the video, but the line items shows EMAC fee and that is what went up the most. What I missed is what that fee actually is spent on. Landscape maintenance is a separate line item.

Middleton does not have a monthly amenity fee.

There is landscape specific to the CDD that is contracted and paid for directly by the CDD - that is the "separate line item" you are seeing. There is also landscape within the CDD area that is covered and maintained with EMAC funds - a large portion of the EMAC fee goes towards that work. CDD14 Landscape maintained by EMAC, per Exhibit A of the EMAC agreement, is Chandler Drive south of the unmanned gates. Landscaping maintained by CDD14 would be most (all?) of the other roadways within the CDD. See Exhibit A for more details. |

Only a small portion of the landscaping and maintenance contracts are kept CDD specific. EMAC and PWAC both rely on the large contracts/volume purchasing to save the member districts money. Think of it as bulk buying at Sams or Costco. EMAC and PWAC also incorporate risk sharing - a major cost incident would be shared by all member districts regardless of which district it occurs. This becomes more and more beneficial as EMAC grows. |
Got it. Makes sense. Thanks to both last 2 posts explaining.

The once per month fee is the amenity fee which does not go to your numbered CDD. |
We got a letter in the mail informing us of our increase. I think it was something like $85 in CDD 13.

Yet the current BOCC deserves some recognition....the millage rate, I believe is at its lowest ever considered in County history.....and the lowest, non coastal rate in the state. |

The amount collected in property tax this year is projected to be $2M more than last year. At the same time, because of the new VPSDDD the county will spend $7M less than last year on fire protection. Decrease spending by $7M, increase income by $2M, and then advertise the rolled-back rate as a reduction even though you and I will be paying nearly the same amount. That does deserve some recognition. The VPSDDD deserves recognition too for throwing around the 1.31mills reduction number when in reality the number was 0.32mills (which we aren't getting) but this is a topic for a different thread. |
