PFC move to property tax roll

Supported moving the PFC debt service to the property tax bill, citing fairness to owners, predictable payments, and a 99% statewide collection rate.

Supported the change for transparency and better city-to-city comparisons, but asked for clearer calculations, Excel-format reports sorted by APN, and worked billing examples.

Questioned why the billing is changing and worried residents facing hardship won't have a lump sum at tax time.

Asked when his debt obligation ends and objected to continuing to pay for new infrastructure loans for other neighborhoods for decades.

Researched surrounding cities and found most bill capital charges separately, not on the tax roll; asked the council to consider a hybrid approach.

Argued the move just shifts the burden, that landlords will face higher property taxes, and asked why new builders' infrastructure costs keep getting added.

Argued renters who never signed up for the debt shouldn't pay it through utility bills and said the change is fairer to homeowners.

Asked why the charge wasn't on the tax bill from the start and worried more charges will keep being added.
