Mare Island Community Facilities District (CFD) Tax Burden

Expressed frustration over 20 years of high CFD taxes, criticized the city's 'do nothing' approach, and urged the council to approve immediate tax freezes and start the new CFD process.

Highlighted the unfair tax allocation where commercial properties benefit before residents see relief, and called for transparency and collaborative problem-solving.

Argued that residents are essentially paying twice for services due to ad valorem tax credits benefiting commercial entities, and urged immediate action.

Praised the preparedness of Mare Island residents and urged the council to stop stalling and take immediate action rather than waiting for a distant specific plan.

Questioned whether addressing a 3 million dollar CFD issue was the top priority given the city's broader budget deficit, while noting the unique historical context of the Mello-Roos district.
