 July 2003 The Community Declaration for the Outlook Community Association (i.e. CC&Rs) is filed and the lots in the neighborhood are annexed into and become subject to the CC&Rs. The CC&Rs empower the Outlook HOA to manage the common interest community created by the CC&Rs.

The voters reject the ballot issue (9 "yes" votes to 45 "no" votes)
 
November 2015 The District issues $4.74 million in bonds at 2.99% interest to refinance its existing debt totaling $4.57 million at 7.50% interest.
