County Administrator
DATE: July 27, 1993
SUBJECT: MORAGA FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT SPECIAL TAX LEVY (FIRE FLOW) FOR
1993-1994
Specific Request(s) or Recommendation(s) & Background & Justification
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Establish a tax rate of 6. 0 cents per gallon of fire flow for fiscal year
1993/94 in the Moraga Fire Protection District as recommended by the Moraga
Fire Commission. (Resolution attached)
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Provides additional revenue of approximately $495,000 in fiscal year 1993/94
for the fire district.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND:
In June of 1980, voters of the Moraga Fire Protection District approved a
permanent fire flow taxing authority to maintain fire district services and
capital outlay programs.
In November 1992, the voters approved an increase in the maximum rate from
6. 0 cents to 30. 0 cents.
Fire flow tax rates ranging from 0 to 30. 0 cents are established annually by
the Board of Supervisors in their capacity as Governing Board of the Moraga
Fire Protection District. County Ordinance 80-19 requires the fire flow tax
rate be set by the Board of Supervisors no later than July 31st for levy in
the 1993/94 fiscal year.
District revenues in 1992/93 were inadequate to meet the total needs of the
district. With the loss of the Special District Augmentation Fund as a
result of State budget legislation, District revenues will not meet the needs
of the District in 1993/94 . Additional revenue from voter approved taxes
will insure that existing service levels are maintained and capit 1 programs
of the district can be funded in fiscal year '1993/94. .�-
