Voters have approved several referenda proposals in the past decade, including approval by more than a 67% margin in a $142.3 million referendum in March, 2002. No additional referenda have been requested since 2002. The Equalized Assessed Valuation of the district now stands at more than $2.1 billion. Standard & Poor's (AA-) and Moody's (A1) have both upgraded the district's bond rating in late 2005. This has resulted in lower bond interest cost for taxpayers. The financial outlook for the next several years remains positive with additional retail and industrial property development, and slowing residential construction occurring in both communities within the district boundaries.
