Proceedings for the establishment of a community facilities district shall be instituted by the adoption of a resolution of intention to establish the district which shall do all of the following:

(a) State that a community facilities district is proposed to be established under the terms of this chapter and describe the boundaries of the territory proposed for inclusion in the district, which may be accomplished by reference to a map on file in the office of the clerk, showing the proposed community facilities district. The boundaries of the territory proposed for inclusion in the district shall include the entirety of any parcel subject to taxation by the proposed district.

(b) State the name proposed for the district in substantially the following form: “Community Facilities District No. ____.”

(c) Describe the public facilities and services proposed to be financed by the district pursuant to this chapter. The description may be general and may include alternatives and options, but it shall be sufficiently informative to allow a taxpayer within the district to understand what the funds of the district may be used to finance. If the purchase of completed public facilities or the incurring of incidental expenses is proposed, the resolution shall identify those facilities or expenses. If facilities are proposed to be financed through any financing plan, including, but not limited to, any lease, lease-purchase, or installment-purchase arrangement, the resolution shall briefly describe the proposed arrangement.

(d) State that, except where funds are otherwise available, a special tax sufficient to pay for all facilities and services, secured by recordation of a continuing lien against all nonexempt real property in the district, will be annually levied within the area. The resolution shall specify the rate, method of apportionment, and manner of collection of the special tax in sufficient detail to allow each landowner or resident within the proposed district to estimate the maximum amount that he or she will have to pay. The legislative body may specify conditions under which the obligation to pay the specified special tax may be prepaid and permanently satisfied. The legislative body may specify conditions under which the rate of the special tax may be permanently reduced in compliance with the provisions of Section 53313.9.

In the case of any special tax to pay for public facilities and to be levied against any parcel used for private residential purposes, (1) the maximum special tax shall be specified as a dollar amount which shall be calculated and thereby established not later than the date on which the parcel is first subject to the tax because of its use for private residential purposes, which amount shall not be increased over time except that it may be increased by an amount not to exceed 2 percent per year, (2) the resolution shall specify a tax year after which no further special tax subject to this sentence shall be levied or collected, except that a special tax that was lawfully levied in or before the final tax year and that remains delinquent may be collected in subsequent years, and (3) the resolution shall specify that under no circumstances will the special tax levied in any fiscal year against any parcel subject to this sentence be increased as a consequence of delinquency or default by the owner or owners of any other parcel or parcels within the district by more than 10 percent above the amount that would have been levied in that fiscal year had there never been any such delinquencies or defaults. For purposes of this paragraph, a parcel shall be considered “used for private residential purposes” not later than the date on which an occupancy permit for private residential use is issued. Nothing in this paragraph is intended to prohibit the legislative body from establishing different tax rates for different categories of residential property, or from changing the dollar amount of the special tax for the parcel if the size of the residence is increased or if the size or use of the parcel is changed.

(e) Fix a time and place for a public hearing on the establishment of the district which shall be not less than 30 or more than 60 days after the adoption of the resolution.

(f) Describe any adjustment in property taxation to pay prior indebtedness pursuant to Sections 53313.6 and 53313.7.

(g) Describe the proposed voting procedure.

The changes made to this section by Senate Bill 1464 of the 1991–92 Regular Session of the Legislature shall not apply to special taxes levied by districts for which a resolution of formation was adopted before January 1, 1993.

Section 54260
Status: in_force

The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:

(a) In the early decades of California’s statehood, the relationship between the state and California Native Americans was fraught with violence, exploitation, dispossession, and the attempted destruction of tribal communities. In 1850, California passed a law called the “Act for the Government and Protection of Indians,” which facilitated removing California Native Americans from their traditional lands, separating children and adults from their families, languages, and culture, and creating a system of indentured servitude as punishment for minor crimes such as loitering.

(b) Between the years 1850 and 1859, California Governors called for private and militia campaigns against Native American peoples in the state. In his 1851 State of the State Address, California’s first Governor declared “[t]hat a war of extermination will continue to be waged between the two races until the Indian race becomes extinct must be expected.” Subsequently, the state authorized $1,290,000 in 1850’s dollars to subsidize these militia campaigns.

(c) Despite these wrongs, California Native Americans resisted, survived, and carried on cultural and linguistic traditions defying all odds.

(d) On June 18, 2019, the Governor of the State of California signed Executive Order N-15-19 formally apologizing to California’s Native Americans for historical mistreatment, violence, and neglect; and acknowledged and affirmed that, while we cannot undo these wrongs, we can work together to improve the lives of California Native American peoples.

(e) On September 25, 2020, the Governor of the State of California issued a Statement of Administration Policy (hereinafter “policy”) which encouraged every state agency, department, board, and commission to seek opportunities to provide access and inclusion of ancestral lands to Native American peoples.

(f) The purpose of this policy is to support tribal self-determination and self-government, and reduce fractionation of tribal trust lands, among others things.

(g) The actions associated with this policy include, but are not limited to, working cooperatively with California tribes that have ancestral territory within state-owned lands, assist them in acquiring those lands by prioritizing tribal purchase or transfer, and adopting preferential policies and practices for California tribes to access natural lands owned by the state that are located within ancestral lands, including coordinating with local governments to zone natural land in excess of state needs in a way that is conducive to tribal access and use.

(h) The Legislature acknowledges that structural barriers to access and acquisition of ancestral lands have been prevalent at all levels of government, and promoting equity on both the state and local levels is of utmost importance.
