Staff requests approval of Resolution No. 21-22/60 a Resolution of the Board of Education of the Lynwood Unified School District requesting Board of Supervisors of the County of Los Angeles to establish tax rate for Bonds of the Lynwood Unified School District expected to be sold during Fiscal Year 2022-2023, and authorizing necessary actions in connection therewith. BACKGROUND At an election held in the Lynwood Unified School District (the “District”) on November 8, 2016, the voters of the District approved the issuance and sale of general obligation bonds of the District for various purposes in the maximum amount of $65,000,000 (“Measure N”). The District now desires to issue the third and final series of bonds under Measure N in an estimated amount of $24,465,000 (the “Bonds”). The Education Code of the State of California provides that the Board of Supervisors of each county shall annually, at the time of making the levy of taxes for county purposes, estimate the amount of money required to meet the payment of the principal and interest on the bonds authorized by the electors of the District and not sold, and which the Board of Education of the District informs the Board of Supervisors in their belief will be sold before the next tax levy, and further provides that said Board of Supervisors shall levy a tax sufficient to pay the principal and interest so estimated. At this time, the District plans to sell bonds in Fiscal Year 2022-2023. However, the District has determined that it is not possible to sell the District’s bonds by the June 30, 2022 deadline for the Auditor-Controller of the County to calculate the tax rates necessary to pay debt service on such bonds in order that such tax rates may be reflected on 2022-2023 property tax bills of taxpayers in the District. However, the County will accept, and the District will provide to the County prior to their deadline, estimated debt service on the proposed bonds such that the tax can be levied.
Levying the tax makes for a more efficient financing for District taxpayers as otherwise the initial year’s interest costs on the bonds would have to be borrowed, increasing the total cost of the bonds. The Bonds will be issued to finance school projects under Measure N, and pay the costs of issuing the Bonds.

The Lynwood Unified School District acknowledges the enduring relationship between indigenous peoples and their traditional territories. We recognize that we work and learn on unceded lands of the Tongva and Gabrielino people, the traditional caretakers of Tovaangar (which today is referred to as Los Angeles County, Riverside County, parts of San Bernardino County, parts of Orange County, and the four Southern Channel Islands). The staff at the Lynwood Unified School District is committed to dismantling the ongoing legacies of settler colonialism and challenges the erasure of indigenous communities.
Please join us in honoring these ancestral grounds by working towards partnership, reconciliation, and healing with the Tongva and Gabrielino people, the taraaxatom (Native people) and all displaced Indigenous peoples. We pay our respects to Honuukvetam (Ancestors), 'Ahiihirom (Elders), and 'eyoohiinkem (our relatives/relations) past, present and emerging.
We celebrate the resilience and strength that all Indigenous peoples have shown and continue to show in our region and beyond in the face of systemic injustice.
*If you are unsure of the pronunciation of the Tongva-Gabrielino language, please use the terms in parentheses. |
