| Arguments For Measure S |

The Cordova Recreation and Park District formed its Community Facilities District No. 04-01 (Sunridge) (the "CFD") in 2004. The purpose of the District is to finance the operation and maintenance of public parks, open space and landscape setbacks adjacent to residential subdivisions in the Sunridge Park, Anatolia I through Anatolia IV, and the North Douglas neighborhoods of the City of Rancho Cordova. The CFD raised approximately $1.5 million in
Fiscal Year 2011-12 for this purpose.
A "YES" vote for the present ballot measure is a vote to allow the CFD, without any increase in your existing tax rate, to pay not only for operation and maintenance costs, but also to acquire and construct new park and open space facilities within the boundaries of your CFD. For example, in Sunridge Park, a yes vote will make possible the construction of a children's sprayground and play area, a large sports field, basketball court, walking trail that connects to the Anatolia Trail system, and more. The spending plan allocates $550,000 for these recreation-related facilities. In addition, it would allow approximately $2 million to be used for the Phase I construction of the 20-acre Anatolia Community Park; if authorized, construction will begin in 2013. Phase I improvements in this community park will consist of children's play areas, ball fields, parking lots, security lighting and fencing. The CFD would be able to use the special taxes to pay for acquisition and construction costs through Fiscal Year 2064-65, by which time the District expects the CFD to be built out. After FiscalYear 2064-65, the CFD would finance only operation and maintenance costs. It bears repeating: if approved, the ballot measure would not increase the existing rate of taxes in the CFD.
