BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
Today's recommended action is to consider any objections or protests with respect to special taxes for the Silverado Community Services District (SCSD). Ordinance T-1 (SCSD) approved by the District electorate on July 22,1997, which established the methodology for assessing a special tax to fund the services provided by the District (street sweeping, street lighting, landscape and walking path maintenance, and administrative costs).
On January 27, 2023, the SCSD Advisory Committee voted unanimously to recommend the maximum allowable assessment for Fiscal Year 2022-2023, which is $213,522.
