No. 2003 -2 (Canyon Hills) Relating to Improvement Area A and

Special Tax Bonds for Community Facilities District No. 2003 -2 (Canyon Hills) for
Improvement Areas A and C for savings.
Administrative Services Director Simpson provided an overview of the staff report and
recommendation.
Council Member Hickman liked this item because the homeowners will save $156.00 a year
off their taxes by refinancing the outstanding Special Tax Bonds.
Council Member Tisdale asked if there were other Community Facility Districts that could be
lowered. Director Simpson responded that it would depend if interest rates stayed where they
are at presently. Director Simpson explained that if the interests rates increased the savings
may not be enough to offset the costs of going through with the transaction.

matured prior to 2010 and the drop is based on maturity dates.
