SUBJECT: Moraga Fire Protection District Special Tax Levy
(Fire Floe) for FY 1994-95
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S ) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
establish a tax rate of 3 . 5 cents per gallon of fire flow for FY 1994-95
in the Moraga Fire Protection District as recommended by the Moraga Fire
Commission. (Resolution attached)
FINANCIAL IIMPACT:
Provides additional revenue of approximately $288, 750 in FY 1994-95 for
the Fire District .
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONjBACKGROUND:
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 of 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 31 , 1994 for levy in FY 1994-95 .
Due to financial concerns about the adequacy of the District ' s general
fund in Fiscal Years 1992-93 and 1993-94 , the fire flow tax rate was
levied at 6 .0 cents for both fiscal years . Given the current status of
funding and the potential for further property tax shifts due to the .
State ' s ongoing budget problems , the Moraga Fire Commission believes it
is prudent to levy the rate at 3 . 5 cents in FY 1994-95 . Additional revenue
from voter approved fire flow taxes will help ensure that the District ' s
existing service levels are maintained and capital projects can be funded
in FY 1994-95 .
