RE 3OLUT IOH_ Relating to proposed Water Bond Issue of J525 .000 .00-- Upon motion , the following Resolution was unanimously adopted : "RESOLVED: That this Board of Trustees of the City of Redlands recommend to the incoming Board of Trustees that the maturity of the $525 ,000 .00 Water Bonds , if the Bond Election to be held on April 12 , 1926 prevails , be as follows : ®-ft No principal to become due for five years , thereafter §15,000 .00 of• the principal to mature and become due each year for thirty-five years. That throughout the life of these Bonds the whole of the interest charges thereon , which is at the rate of 5% per annum, payable semi-annually, be paid from operating revenue from the Water Department . We cannot bind future Boards of Trustees as to water rates or rates of taxation, but should the Board of Trustees which will be in office five years hence decide to pay the principal of this Bond Issue as it matures , from taxation , we believe that with a reasonable increase in assessed valua- tion, the tax rate for such purpose would not exceed eight cents on each $100 .00 of assessed value . At the present assessed value of the property in this. City-it would cost ten cents on each $100 .03 of assessed value to pay the principal of these bonds at maturities of $15,000 .00 per year. Resolved further , that irrigation water rented by the City far use outside • of the City be hereafter rented at a higher rate over the rate for irrigation water 341 rented for use within the Cityl that the rate to irrigation water users without the City be suffieiently high to collect a sum which will at least equal the amount of real property tax that the user within the City pays on principal and interest on water bonds.
