MELLO-ROOS
A form of financing utilized by cities, counties, and special districts to finance large-scale products in that district such as major improvements and services. To use this type of financing, voters in that district must approve forming a Mello-Ross district by vote (⅔ must be in favor of this decision). Once the district has agreed to become a Mello-Roos district, the amount spent to fund one of the projects is repaid by the voters through taxes. It is formally called Community Facilities District Act, but is commonly known as Mello-Roos because the said Act was named after Senator Henry Mello and Assemblyman Mike Roos, who co-authored the Act.
