Yet proponents of Measure AA Mello Roos Bond Tax, want us to to invest heavily in all ABC school facilities in spite of school enrollment decline. So they tell… Read more »

To correct another batch of false information, enrollment in the ABC School District is up another 100 students in 2014-15, the fourth year in a row of modest but steady increases. The primary reasons for the increase is a rising birthrate(noted in the 2010 Federal Census), multiple generations living in the same home for economic reasons, declining private school attendance, and the new state law that allows parents to enroll their children in school districts where they work or have child care needs. School districts cannot “recruit” outside their attendance areas and districts rarely will release their own students because… Read more »

To hopefully stick a fork in the Mello Roos silliness I think it is worthwhile to note just ten of the major differences between the Community Facilities Act of 1982(CFA) sometimes referred to as Mello Roos for its authors and Proposition 39 the school bond initiative of 2000. 1) CFA requires a 2/3 vote while school bonds under Prop 39 require 55% 2) CFA was a state law enacted by the state legislature in 1982 and can be repealed by it. Proposition 39 was enacted by the voters in 2000 as a state constitutional amendment and can only be repealed… Read more »
……….Mello Roos School Bonds………….. RE: G Riley Response. Property taxes in Calif have (2) types of liens: 1. Perpetuity Taxes Liens- Infinity of time. 2. Non-Perpetuity Tax Liens- Definite Time Frame or Mello Roos Bonds. Since the school bond tax, has time frame, it is a Mello Roos Bond, per tax code, as used for general improvement of a designated area(s) and can be paid off in full at any time. Many conditions of sale of properties, mandatory the Mello Roos Bond(s) be paid in full. Many lenders will not finance Mello Roos Bonds, so have to be paid off.… Read more »

Thank you McMahon for proving the point. Cerritos and the surrounding cities served by the ABCUSD are not in a Community Facilities District(Mello Roos)even though the community passed a school bond in 1997. Likewise Downey, Norwalk-La Mirada, Fullerton, Anaheim, and dozens of other school districts in our area did mot become CFDs when they passed their own school bonds in 2002 nor will they become CFDs if they pass new school bonds on the ballot in 2014.
Gavin, can we talk?? You can call it whatever you like, it is still packaged as a tax….Most Realtors, homeowners, buyers, real estate attorneys, escrow reps, title ins, know this as a common name of Mello Roos. If this tax is not paid in full each year, it becomes lien on the property, property will be foreclosed in order to pay off the Mello Roos School Bond. Tax is tax and payable ea. yr. Whisper Word around town, from trustees, council persons, etc, ABCUSD is looking to import students from Gardena, Garden Grove, Westminster, Fullerton, Monterey Park and Montebello, in… Read more »
