this Resolution, the City Clerk shall file a copy of such map so endorsed in the

adopted. A certificate shall be endorsed on the original and on at least one copy of
the map of Annexation Area No. 14 (Lakeview Villas), evidencing the date and

Section 3. The name of the proposed annexation area shall be "City of

and Paramedic Services), Annexation Area No. 14 (Lakeview Villas)."
Section 4. Except where funds are otherwise available, it is the intention
of the City Council to levy annually in accordance with procedures contained in
the Act a special tax (the "Special Tax") sufficient to finance law enforcement, fire
and paramedic services that are in addition to those provided in the territory within
Annexation Area No. 14 (Lakeview Villas) prior to the annexation of Annexation
Area No. 14 (Lakeview Villas) into the District and do not supplant services
already available within the territory proposed to be included in the District, the
costs of administering the levy and collection of the Special Tax and all other costs
of the levy of the Special Tax, including any foreclosure proceedings, legal, fiscal,
and financial consultant fees, election costs, and all other administrative costs of
the tax levy. The Special Tax will be secured by recordation of a continuing lien
against all non-exempt real property in the proposed Annexation Area No. 14
(Lakeview Villas). The schedule of the rate and method of apportionment and
manner of collection of the Special Tax is described in detail in Exhibit "A"
attached hereto and by this reference incorporated herein. The annexation of
Annexation Area No. 14 (Lakeview Villas) will not result in any change to the
special tax rates levied in the District prior to such annexation.
The Special Tax is apportioned to each parcel on the foregoing basis

upon the ownership of real property.
The maximum Special Tax applicable to a parcel to be used for private
residential purposes, as set forth in Exhibit A, is specified as a dollar amount which
shall be calculated and established not later than the date on which the parcel is
first subject to tax because of its use for private residential purposes, and such
amount shall not be increased over time by an amount in excess of 2 percent per
year. Under no circumstances will the Special Tax to be levied against any parcel
used for private residential purposes be increased as a consequence of delinquency
or default by the owner of any other parcel or parcels within the proposed
Annexation Area No. 14 (Lakeview Villas) by more than 10 percent. As specified
by the Act, 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.
Section 5. A public hearing (the "Hearing") on the annexation of
Annexation Area No. 14 (Lakeview Villas) and the proposed rate and method of
apportionment of the Special Tax shall be held on August 23, 2005, at 7:00 o'clock
