The proposed special tax district would fund an increase in the level of police protection services that is provided in the unincorporated area of Martinez.

The resolution includes information regarding the name and boundaries of the zone, the different level of services to be provided and the method by which the increased level of service is to be funded. The resolution also directs the Clerk of the Board to publish and mail notice of a public hearing regarding the proposed zone formation.
