Happy Mother’s Day
I
have been blessed with great mothers surrounding me throughout my life. As we celebrate Mother’s Day each year, I often reflect on my childhood, teenage years, and young adulthood. I was raised by a very strong and supportive mother, and as a first grandchild, I also spent many of my younger years with my grandmother. Unfortunately, these two wonderful women are no longer with us today, but the memories and life lessons that I received from them are forever held close to my heart. Having lost my mother to a tragic automobile accident back in 2010 and my grandmother to cancer more recently, you would think that Mother’s Day would approach with some apprehension. However, much to my pleasant surprise, I’ve discovered that Mother’s Day has become one of the most meaningful holidays of the year. Even though the day typically starts with a brief moment of sadness – more like a period of reflection – it quickly turns into a very deep and significant day. Not only do I have an opportunity to celebrate the great memories surrounding my mother and grandmother, I also have the privilege of having several more fantastic mothers that still surround me, support me, and make our lives more meaningful. While there are too many wonderful mothers in our friends and family sphere to mention in this letter, I would like to take a moment to recognize a few of them. First on the list, I would like to thank my wonderful wife, Jessica, for being such an awesome mother to our three kids (as well as many of the neighborhood kids). There are quite a few kiddos around the community (some adults in college now) that have grown Derrick Breaux up calling her “Momma” Breaux. We are all lucky to have you do Publisher what you do. Happy Mother’s Day, Jessica! I would also like to take a moment to send a heartfelt thank you to my mother-in-law Trish and mother-in-law Doreen. Not only are you both incredible influences on our family, but you are also wonderful grandmothers to our kids. We are all extremely happy to have you be a major part of our lives. Happy Mother’s Day, Trish and Doreen! And last but not least, I would like to recognize my sister on this Mother’s Day. Not only is she a great sister, she is also a wonderful mother. I find great joy in watching the way she raises her three children, often displaying the incredibly familiar and nurturing parenting that our mother used with the two of us growing up. It warms my heart beyond words. Happy Mother’s Day, Angelique! And happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers in the world (past and present) that have impacted our lives. May this Mother’s Day be filled with lots of hugs, special memories, love, and laughter – and maybe some tears.

LOCAL STUDENT COMPETES ON MASTERCHEF JUNIOR
T
en-year-old Cardiff resident Gracie Howard recently appeared on Season 6 of MasterChef Junior on Fox. It was her second stint on the show; she previously competed on Season 5 and made the top 40. “They called me after that was all over and asked me if I wanted to audition for Season 6,” Gracie said. “Of course my answer was yes! I was already planning to try again, but wasn’t sure when.” This season Gracie made it into the top 24, but was eliminated after five episodes. “I was pretty sad because I wasn’t expecting it,” she said. “I really do feel like I won though just by being on the show to begin with. It was a great experience and I made some lifelong friends! A lot of neat opportunities also came from that experience.” Gracie has her own spot in Child Photo Magazine called Gracie’s Culinary Corner, and has been asked to do a regular kid’s cooking tutorial every other month on Fox morning news. She has baked many treats and cooked a wide variety of entrees and appetizers over the years, with fresh seafood being a favorite. Her signature dish is a coarse-ground mustard and honey-glazed salmon. “I am really inspired by people who just keep trying and who don’t give up even though other people might not believe in them. I think that it’s important to keep shooting for your dreams,” Gracie shared. “I also want people to know that I appreciate all of the support. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!” ¢

Better Off Transforms Skin and Body Painlessly and Effectively

ith summer just around the corner, you should look and feel like the best version of yourself. Better Off, a brand-new medical spa studio in Encinitas, can help. Better Off gently and effectively removes unwanted fat, wrinkles, acne scars, and skin spots without pain, as well as tattoos, with new, FDAapproved technology. “We want to help people feel good about themselves by removing what other efforts and age cannot,” explained Better Off Owner Sari Dickinson. The studio’s non-invasive fat removal process uses pulsed, focused ultrasound technology to target and reduce localized fat deposits, reduce body circumference, and improve overall body shape. This includes treatment of excess breast tissue in men by eliminating fat cells. “The new system also uses integrated vacuum-assisted radio frequency to enhance fat cell destruction, expedite fat clearance, and tighten skin,” Sari

said. There is no anesthesia or sedation required, and no discomfort or down time. Tattoos and skin spots are treated with a special machine that delivers ultra-short picosecond pulses of energy to specific areas of the skin, which breaks up the tattoo ink or pigmentation into smaller, more easily eliminated particles. Because the technology is so fast and powerful, it can reach tiny areas under the skin using a nonthermal effect, called a photoacoustic effect. The treatment, which can remove all colors from all skin types, including multi-colored and recalcitrant tattoos, does not cause the outer layer of skin to break, so patients experience little to no recovery time. Wrinkle removal is performed using a machine that encourages production of new collagen by causing microscopic injuries in the deeper layer of the skin. The body immediately begins to heal, repair, and rebuild new skin cells, reducing the appearance of

TALENT IN TRAINING Studio West Offers Music Production Camps for Young Musicians
S
tudio West has been San Diego’s premier recording studio for over 40 years, but recently some new clients have been working there. In 2015, owner Peter Dyson started a series of week-long music production camps for middle and high school students, largely due to his own children’s musical journey. “My daughter plays the harp and my son is a drummer. They both had amazing teachers and great experiences performing with various ensembles, but a recording studio is a different environment that helps musicians grow.” The week-long camps involve instruction in songwriting, production and performance. Many students have a background in music theory and traditional instruments, but it’s not a requirement. “A laptop is now a musical instrument, just like a piano or guitar, but to play it requires the same instruction, discipline, and hard work that’s required for more traditional instruments,” said Dyson.
Performing in a studio is intimidating, but students rise to the occasion. As the lead instructor, San Diego songwriter, performer, and father of two multi-instrumentalist preteen boys Shawn Rohlf explains it, “I’m amazed at the musicianship and work ethic of the kids. If they are this good now, where will they be in 10 years?” At the end of the week, parents and students listen to the songs that students have written and produced over the week. The experience leaves many ready for more. As student Chrysta Hlavacek (17) puts it, “Making music with talented artists is my dream job, and going to Studio West helps me get there.” ¢

AT-A-GLANCE Name of Business: New Life House COO: David Saruk Years with the Company: 8 Year of Establishment: 1985 Address: 17252 Hawthorne Blvd Suite 289 Torrance, CA 90504 Website: www.newlifehouse.com Email: info@newlifehouse.com Phone: 888-357-7577 Description of Business: New Life House is an age-specific, longterm structured aftercare facility designed to teach life skills and provide the community necessary for someone to overcome addiction and establish a new life.

ife-saving,” parents will attest to their experience with New Life House. These are powerful words for a program that has been providing just that for the last 30 years. Founded in 1985, New Life House is the lifeline for young adults to overcome addiction and stay sober for the long-term. The founder of New Life House was inspired to start the program after experiencing addiction treatment. He saw the need for a program to serve as the missing link between short and long-term recovery. In fact, every staff member has experienced the program first-hand, offering insight into what residents may be experiencing. “The program has an unprecedented ability to hone in on the life struggles specific to 18- to 35-year-olds, and allows them to have a community around them in the same age range that can help out with direct experience,” explained David Saruk, Chief Operating Officer. Community is a cornerstone of the program. Family members are integrated throughout the recovery process, and residents build lifelong relationships. The active alumni program is proof of these bonds. “Our goal is to remain successful long after graduation, so we provide a resource for all our alumni to tap into anytime they need assistance,” David said.

The commitment to long-term sobriety sets New Life House apart from other treatment programs. “Trust people that have experience, and realize that recovery is a process that can’t be completed inside of a few months.” The average stay at New Life House is 13 months. Although people struggling with addiction “will be looking to manipulate the situation any way they can to avoid doing the rigorous internal work required to live a good life in recovery,” David acknowledged. This is a tough position for loved ones who are trying to make the best decision. “Building a foundation in recovery takes ample time, and it’s not something that can be accomplished inside of 30 days.” That foundation at New Life House is based on teaching vital life skills alongside treating the character of each resident, including the importance of a strong work ethic, living honestly, benefits of community, and essential coping skills for sobriety. “New Life House understands that abstinence is a vital stepping stone to true development of an individual,” David shared, “and our hands-on approach focuses on giving our residents the platform to become the best person they can be.” ¢

t can be a challenge to bring children to the dentist. If your child should happen to have a bad experience, it can have prolonged effects. The last thing a parent wants is a lingering battle with their child over maintaining proper dental hygiene. Encinitas Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics understands this, which is why they are dedicated to making dental encounters fun for children.

We cultivate a relationship with each of our patients, which not only ensures better children’s dental care but also turns a visit to the dentist into a visit between friends.” Describing the office vibe as “warm and fuzzy,” Dr. Spencer emphasized that Encinitas Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics perfectly combines a feel-good setting with hightech proficiency. Dr. Spencer clarified, “Our mission is to work hard to provide high-quality dentistry in a caring and gentle environment. We work with compassion on every patient, using only the best state-ofthe-art materials, and we continuously educate ourselves. We have recruited the most esteemed and qualified pediatric dentists in the
country not only to share their knowledge with our patients but also so that we can continue to learn from one another.” Acknowledging the busy lives of today’s families, the staff at Encinitas Pediatric Dentistry aims to schedule appointments at the time and day that works best for the patients. Typically, their patients are between the ages of one and 18, but Dr. Spencer added, “We have also recently begun scheduling appointments for adult patients, so that we can continue to provide advanced care to your growing children and you, as parents, as well.” ¢

PHILANTHROPY in ACTION The Coastal Community Foundation Makes a Local Impact photos by Soul of Photography
C
ommunity is the cornerstone of the Coastal Community Foundation (CCF). For over 30 years, the Foundation has
been supporting nonprofits, students, and other local projects in the North Coastal communities of Encinitas, Del Mar, Solana Beach, Carmel Valley, Cardiff, Rancho Santa Fe, Carlsbad, and Oceanside. Various charitable funds allow the Foundation to award scholarships and grants that support everything from the arts and music, social services, and animals, to the environment, veterans programs, and youth and community projects. Read
along as we speak with CCF Executive Director Sharon Omahen about how the organization helps connect donors to important community needs.
Q&A with Coastal Community Foundation Executive Director Sharon Omahen
PLEASE GIVE US A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE CCF. WHEN WAS IT STARTED AND WHY?
WHAT IS THE OVERALL MISSION OF THE CCF?
Coastal Community Foundation was founded in 1987 by local leaders and community members that included Bill Dean, Anne Omsted, Margaret Schlesinger, and Liz Ferguson. These residents wanted a local community foundation that would keep resources here to benefit the community. For over 30 years, CCF has been supporting nonprofits, education, and community projects in the North Coastal area.
The mission of Coastal Community Foundation is to enhance the quality of life in the San Diego North Coastal area by directing philanthropic efforts toward community needs. We fulfill our mission by:
WHICH COMMUNITIES DOES THE CCF SERVE? The Foundation primarily serves Carmel Valley, Del Mar, Solana Beach, Cardiff, Encinitas, Rancho Santa Fe, Carlsbad, and Oceanside. In 2017, 62 percent of our grants supported San Diego nonprofits and nine percent of the grants funded scholarships for North Coastal high school graduates.
• Helping individuals and families with their charitable goals today and in the future • Making grants to support nonprofit programs, education, and community needs • Providing support and guidance to nonprofit organizations PLEASE EXPLAIN HOW CHARITABLE FUNDS AND DONATIONS WORK. WHO IS ELIGIBLE TO ESTABLISH OR GIVE TO A FUND? Each charitable fund tells a story about how residents want to make a difference in their community. One family may want to honor a loved one through a memorial or a scholarship fund or residents may choose a donor advised fund that provides them with the ability to support a wide variety of nonprofits over the years. It’s simple for anyone to establish a charitable fund with a minimum of $5,000.
Determine what you want to donate (cash, stock, or other assets) and select the name of your fund. Then, you have the flexibility to invest in causes you care about most over time. The Foundation takes care of all the administrative details. Anyone can contribute at any level to an existing fund or make a gift to one of the giving circles (Solana Beach, Encinitas, or the women’s fund, Hand to Hand). ARE THERE OTHER WAYS TO GIVE TO THE FOUNDATION? People can give their time by serving on a committee or volunteering at the Foundation’s office. PLEASE TELL US ABOUT THE FOUNDATION’S GRANT AND SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAMS. WHO IS ELIGIBLE TO APPLY FOR THEM? Each grant and scholarship program has specific guidelines outlined by the donor(s) who established the fund. Some grants like Mental Health only support nonprofit programs that serve our North Coastal communities. Solana Beach Fund grants support programs that May | June 2018 • 92024MAGAZINE.COM • 23
C O V E R F E AT U R E any nonprofit provides for Solana Beach. Hand to Hand grants are available to nonprofits in San Diego County. Scholarships are available to students from the San Dieguito, Carlsbad, and Oceanside school districts. Additional scholarships are available at the collegiate and graduate level. WHAT ARE SOME EXAMPLES OF PAST PROJECTS THE CCF HAS BEEN INVOLVED WITH? The Foundation’s EdVentures program has granted over $250,000 for education programs over the past five years. In 2017, grants supported the Pathway programs at San Dieguito high schools for technical education, including the purchase of professional culinary equipment for San Dieguito Academy’s culinary classes. In January, Hand to Hand, our women’s giving circle, granted $39,500 to nonprofits that help women in San Diego County who have been victims of trafficking and that support women and girls who have been released from prison. Over the past nine years, the fund has granted $274,258 for women’s and girls’ programs. Mental Health grants have supported counseling for children who have witnessed domestic violence, counseling and mental health programs for children who are homeless, and grievance programs for children who have experienced the loss of a loved one. HOW DOES THE CCF SUPPORT THE ENCINITAS COMMUNITY SPECIFICALLY? In 2017, the Foundation granted over $119,000 to nonprofits in Encinitas. Education grants provided funding for art and science programs at the elementary schools. Our donor advisors have been making an
impact. One grant purchased a beach wheelchair for Moonlight Beach. Another provided funding in memory of a loved one for a kennel at Rancho Coastal Humane Society. Other nonprofit grantees include San Diego Botanic Garden, San Dieguito Heritage Museum, Magdalena Ecke YMCA, Encinitas Preservation Association, and Community Resource Center. In March 2018, the Encinitas Fund, a giving circle, was established that allows any resident to donate at any level. Their pooled philanthropy will support nonprofits providing programs for the Encinitas community. WHAT IS YOUR ROLE WITHIN THE ORGANIZATION? As executive director, I oversee the administration of the Foundation, donor relations, and community outreach. I work closely with donors to help them establish their funds and fulfill their charitable goals.

WHAT IS THE MOST REWARDING PART OF WHAT YOU DO? THE MOST CHALLENGING? The most rewarding is helping donors make an impact for their favorite causes or nonprofits and seeing the results of those grants in the community. The most challenging is that there are so many worthwhile programs and limited grant funds. WHAT’S IN STORE FOR THE FUTURE OF THE FOUNDATION? The Foundation continues to grow with new charitable funds and increased grant-making. Our goal is to work with more residents who want to make an impact in the community. Our new Encinitas fund is an exciting opportunity for local residents to make a greater impact locally through pooled philanthropy. HOW CAN INTERESTED COMMUNITY MEMBERS GET INVOLVED WITH THE CCF?
People can be involved in a number of ways: donate to an existing fund or giving circle like Solana Beach Fund, Encinitas Fund, or Hand to Hand women’s fund; start their own fund; volunteer; share our information with nonprofits and others in the community.

uan Trevino has a passion for ice hockey. As a child growing up in Michigan, he was obsessed with playing the game. “I was driven to be good and would go public skating as often as possible, including twice on Sunday,” related Juan. “My brother and I played hockey everywhere...the street, the basement, at breakfast. It was a great way to grow up.” He played throughout high school and later played in college at Eastern Michigan University. Juan and his wife Jenny moved to Encinitas in 2008. He got licensed as a social worker and worked for the San Diego Unified School District in mental health, but hockey still beckoned. He was approached by Todd Cadieux and Hans Richter, who wanted to create a school hockey program at Pacific Ridge School. “Todd had a vision of providing young athletes a platform to play high-level

At the same time, the Anaheim Ducks were building the Anaheim Ducks High School Hockey League (ADHSHL), the first all-high school hockey league. The Anaheim Ducks Junior Ducks Tier club program made the high school league competitive. Today there are 19 Pacific Ridge student who play on the hockey team. Moving into the 2018/19 season they hope to have as many as 23 players. It’s not just about playing competitive hockey – members of the club are giving back to the community. Club captain and senior Isaiah Granet started a program called the San Diego Chill, which is a special needs ice hockey team dedicated to helping kids with developmental disabilities. “I’m also really proud of our boys because they’ve paved the
way for the classes of hockey players behind them. They’re helping others see just how important it is to learn and utilize other skills besides hockey and are on their way to living a purposeful life,” shared Juan. “The culture our players have created at school has spread and we’re at the point where other student athletes want to be a part of the program and are applying from all around the county. It’s exciting times.” Juan lives in Cardiff with his wife and two young daughters, Emmy and Frankie. When not coaching hockey he can be found playing softball, going to the beach, listening to music, and having epic dance parties with his family. “I realize how blessed I am to be in my position and I’m grateful to everyone who helped me along the way.” ¢

FROM THE DENTIST
SHARK TEETH
Don’t Panic About this Common Phenomenon by DR. SPENCER MAUSETH, Encinitas Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics
A
visit from the tooth fairy is a childhood rite of passage that usually happens around age five or six. It’s an exciting time for kids and parents alike. However, sometimes the excitement is overshadowed by concern if a permanent tooth erupts before the baby tooth falls out. If the adult tooth erupts behind the baby tooth, both teeth can be present at the same time. When this happens, it is called “shark teeth,” since sharks naturally have several rows of teeth. Although it may look and sound a bit scary, the occurrence of shark teeth is actually quite common and rarely becomes a long-term issue. Shark teeth often develop around age six, which is when the lower front teeth (incisors) begin to erupt. Other children may experience shark teeth around age 11 when the upper back
molars start to grow in. However, shark teeth can occur at any age and can also affect teeth other than the front incisors and back molars. Typically, an adult tooth erupts directly underneath the root of the baby tooth, causing the baby tooth to loosen and eventually fall out. In this process, special cells called odontoclasts are produced. These cells cause the root of the baby tooth to dissolve and be reabsorbed. In turn, the baby tooth falls out, leaving room for the adult tooth to grow in its place. However, when the permanent tooth erupts behind the baby tooth, it is not pushing on the root of the baby tooth and the process is disrupted. If the baby tooth is already loose while the adult tooth is coming in, the baby tooth may come out on its own. Since kids are prone to wiggle a loose tooth, this may aid in the process by disrupting root attachment. However, if the baby tooth remains firmly in place and the permanent tooth erupts completely, the baby tooth may need to be extracted.
Encinitas Pediatric Ad While shark teeth are common and may not cause any problems down the road, it’s important to schedule regular appointments with a pediatric dentist to monitor the situation. Shark teeth can be hard to clean, so they can increase the risk of cavities or gum tissue problems. If the baby tooth does need to be extracted, a pediatric dentist can determine the right course of action. ¢

The Regan Family Connects with Nature and Each Other in Their Hometown by JENNIFER FRAKES | photo by Soul of Photography
P
iper Lacy and Greg Regan grew up in Encinitas, spending much of their childhoods exploring the natural beauty of the area. The couple attended San Dieguito High School at the same time, but did not get to know one another until they moved to Chico, CA. “We moved back to Encinitas after college and have lived here ever since. We love the wild spaces, canyons, trails, beaches, and local mountains and deserts. These spaces are the continuous thread that weaves from our past here through the present and into the future,” revealed Piper. She and Greg have two children, Lilah and Ariana, who enjoy working with their parents in the garden and restoring the native plant life on their property. The Regan family’s love of nature and plant life is a deeply embedded part of their lives. Piper and Greg are the owners of Wildcraft Urban, a business that focuses on working with plants through the distillation of hydrosol. According to Piper, hydrosol is the water product of the process of steam distillation that emerges, along with small amounts of essential oil. “Hydrosols are beautiful plant-infused waters that have many uses, and most importantly, serve to help create stronger and deeper connections to the world
around us,” explained Piper. They use plants collected from their own gardens, as well as from the properties of friends. In addition to owning Wildcraft Urban, Greg is a visual artist whose mixed media paintings and drawings have been featured in galleries in Los Angeles, San Diego, and Europe. “My art focuses on looking deep into human physicality and energy and exploring how this relates to nature, culture, and the cosmos,” stated Greg. Ariana and Lilah also have a deep appreciation for the arts. Ariana shares a passion for drawing and painting with her father, and Lilah expresses her creativity through acting and performing. Both girls also love music and play piano. In addition, they play soccer, surf, and participate in Junior Lifeguards each summer. While the family’s roots run deep in Encinitas, they also enjoy spending a great deal of time in Denmark. Piper’s father has lived in Denmark for more than 35 years, and the family visits each year. “We have a whole community of family and friends that virtually mirrors our community in Encinitas,” Piper said. “We consider this a true gift to feel so at home in two places on this beautiful earth.” ¢

TOBY WELLS FOUNDATION GOLF CLASSIC WILL HELP KIDS AND ANIMALS
Extra
Golf Classic (PU81) T
he Toby Wells Foundation will hold its 17th Annual Toby Wells & Craig Castaneda Golf Classic on June 8 at the Barona Creek Golf Club in Lakeside. The tournament is the foundation’s primary fundraising tool to fund all of the programs that provide support to hundreds of underprivileged children and neglected animals throughout San Diego County and other parts of Southern California. The Toby Wells Foundation was first established after Adrienne Wells and April West began searching for ways to raise funds and awareness and honor the memory of their brother Toby, who died 18 years ago from medical complications after paralysis from a swimming accident. The tournament began shortly after the foundation’s establishment, when the Wells family purchased a 300-acre ranch called Blue Apple Ranch.
The ranch is populated with several types of rescued animals who are cared for by disenfranchised and disabled children. Toby was known for his love of animals and frequently rescued dogs in animal shelters. Proceeds from the tournament will go to funding a one-day, outdoor afternoon of fun for 250 local foster youth through the nonprofit Voices for Children, field trips for children of military households through the Armed Services YMCA, a workreadiness internship for foster youth at San Pasqual Academy
and at-risk youth from Abraxas High School and Warner Springs High School, a holiday shopping spree for Polinsky Children’s Center and the Armed Services YMCA whereby each child receives a $200 gift card to WalMart, and assisting in caring for Blue Apple Ranch’s rescued animals.

CENTER STAGE SAN DIEGO LOCAL JACKIE FOSTER TAKES THE STAGE TO COMPETE ON THE VOICE by MICHELLE TREMBLAY | photo by Tyler Golden/NBC
T
wenty-two-year-old Jackie Foster has been singing on stage for most of her life. “I have been singing around San Diego since the age of eight,” recalled Jackie. “Music is all I have ever known and all I have ever wanted to pursue.” Now, as a contestant on television’s hit show The Voice, Jackie is living out her dreams as she makes one of the biggest musical performances of her life. When Jackie’s audition for The Voice aired on national television, her life changed dramatically. “Many people have been reaching out since my news about The Voice got out,” shared Jackie. “Friends, teachers, and community members have contacted me to congratulate me.” Jackie – who grew up in Poway – has been overwhelmed by the outpouring of love she has received from everyone back home. “I can’t thank everyone enough for being so thoughtful and showing their support!” Jackie is currently a senior at Berklee College of Music in Boston. When she’s home
during college breaks, she enjoys hiking with her mom around Lake Poway and Blue Sky Reserve. Throughout Jackie’s journey on The Voice, she’s been challenged by trying to stay positive. “While it’s very easy to say ‘don’t compare yourself,’ there are times when you feel the enormity of the show,” she shared. “It can be a stressful process when you are around remarkable singers in a competition.” Befriending her fellow Voice contestants has helped Jackie cope with these challenges. “The contestants really want the best for one another,” she said. It also doesn’t hurt to have the support of the superstar coaches – Kelly Clarkson, Alicia Keys, Adam Levine, and Blake Shelton. Even with the rush of fame that has so suddenly come her way, Jackie certainly doesn’t have any trouble keeping things in perspective. “I feel so grateful for this experience,” said Jackie. “I am going to soak up all of this and apply it towards every aspect of my life!” For more on Jackie’s journey, visit her on social media: @itsjackiefoster. ¢

Reconsidering Mello-Roos after the New Tax Law by SCOTT VOAK
T
he newly-passed tax law and its limitation of $10K deduction for state and local taxes (income and property) means that most, if not all, people who are paying Mello-Roos fees have lost the ability to deduct them on their federal income taxes. What I’m trying to determine is if it’s a financially sound move to pay them off, and while I expected it to be an easy answer, there are several complications. The first revolves around any discount you might receive when you pay them off. I have one friend who, before he moved, paid off his Mello-Roos. He claimed that he paid off a $1,550/year payment that had 20 years left on it for $20,000. While these are round numbers, they would indicate that the bond carries an interest rate of approximately 5%. When the MelloRoos was deductible, this would have effectively been reduced to about 3%. Whether you pay it off depends on if you think you can earn more than 5% somewhere else. If you think you can make 7-9% on investment property out of state (our investors do), then you probably don’t pay it off. If you would otherwise put it in a CD making less than 1%, then it might make sense to eliminate the payment. On the other hand, I have a very smart friend who sells bonds for a living, including the Mello-Roos bonds. He claims that if you pay off your bond, you don’t get a discount, but have to pay the full amount. So, using
his explanation, my first friend would have had to pay $1,550 times 20, which would have been no discount and not made much sense at all. According to my bond-trading friend, you can only pay off the Mello-Roos at a discount when the house is first sold. He also brings up a very good point: we shouldn’t assume that the tax law will remain the same going forward. It is possible that the next administration may flip back and make all state taxes deductible. What is the right answer? I’ve got two smart people who have given conflicting information. So, what I am doing is filing a request for my personal Mello-Roos payoff. I should have that information by the next issue, and I will conclude this article with what I learn as well as information on how you can pay off your Mello-Roos if you decide to. ¢
