NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING ON INTENTION TO FORM ROLLING HILLS COMMUNITY SERVICES DISTRICT ZONE NO. 1 TO LEVY SPECIAL TAXES THEREIN

 

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on May 19, 2026, the Board of Directors (the “Board”)

of the Rolling Hills Community Services District (the “District”) adopted its Resolution 26-01 (the “Resolution of Intention”), declaring its intention to form Rolling Hills Community Services District No. 1 (“Zone 1”) pursuant to Government Code sections 61140 through 61144 and to levy a special tax (the “Special Tax”) within Zone 1 for the purpose of financing existing District services provided within Zone 1, including but not limited to fire mitigation, roads, drainage, lighting, landscaping, and parks. Zone 1 is proposed to include all the territory within the jurisdictional boundaries of the District, except the Sierramonte subdivision.

 

On May 26, 2026, the Board adopted its Resolution 26-02 (the “Amending Resolution”) amending the previously adopted Resolution of Intention to change the Public Hearing Date from  June 16, 2026, to a new date of June 23, 2026, due to publication requirements; and The Resolution of Intention specifies the proposed tax rate is $250 per parcel annually, subject to an annual adjustment for inflation, not to exceed 3%. The tax would remain in effect until voters qualified an initiative measure to repeal the tax. The tax would be collected with the annual property tax by the County of El Dorado.

 

The tax must be approved by District voters. A measure to approve the tax would appear on the ballot for the November 3, 2026. The measure would authorize the formation of Zone 1 and increase the District’s appropriations limit by the amount of revenue anticipated to be generated by the tax.

 

The foregoing is only a summary of the Resolution of Intention which is on file with the District Clerk. The full text of the Resolution of Intention should be referred to by any interested party for greater detail.
