DATE: ,2008 sr,-lf6
SUBJECT: CSA EM-1 Tentative Report(Measure H)
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Conduct public hearing and adopt resolution confirming Tentative Report for CSA EM-1
(Emergency Medical Services) and declaring intent to levy specified assessments to be
collected with the FY 2008-09 property taxes.
BACKGROUND:
Revenues from the CSA EM-1 assessments are used to provide an enhanced countywide
emergency medical service system as approved by the voters with the passage of Measure H
in November 1988. Enhanced EMS services include additional staffed paramedic units to
respond to 9-1-1 calls; support for firefighter EMS first responder programs, EMS
communications, and miscellaneous EMS enhancements.
The basic assessment rates proposed are $3.94 per single-family residence or benefit unit for
Zone A (San Ramon Valley) and $10.00 per single-family residence or benefit unit for Zone B
(balance of county). The lower rate for Zone A reflects the fact that certain EMS
enhancements are funded by other revenue sources in the San Ramon Valley area. The
proposed FY 2008-09 rates are unchanged from the previous year.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No General Fund impact. Proposed FY 2008-09 assessments for CSA EM-1 total $212,547.24
for Zone A and $4,400,980.00 for Zone B.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Failure to set the CSA EM-1 assessment rates prior to August 10, 2008 may result in the EM-1
assessments not being included in the property tax bills countywide.
