Subject:HEARING TO CONSIDER ADOPTION OF PROPOSED SPECIAL TAX ORDINANCE AND
AUTHORIZE ELECTION TO OBTAIN VOTER APPROVAL (DISTRICT V)
BACKGROUND:
Per the conditions of approval for Subdivision No. 9004 (County File #SD05-9004), prior
to recording the final map for the subdivision, the subdivider is required to establish a
special Police Services tax district for the purposes of providing additional funding to
augment police services in the area of the subdivision. The property to be subdivided and
placed within the proposed special tax district consists of a vacant 2.6-acre site located in
the unincorporated area of Martinez.
On September 13, 2011, the Board approved Resolution No. 2011/372, as required by
Government Code section 25217, subdivision (b), as the first step in forming a new zone
within County Service Area (CSA) P-6 in the unincorporated area of Martinez. The
proposed zone would serve as the vehicle to collect special taxes within the boundaries of
the zone if a special tax measure is approved by registered voters within the zone area at
the December 6, 2011 election.
The Board is scheduled to conduct a separate hearing on October 4, 2011, on the
formation of the proposed zone. If the Board determines there is no majority protest to
the formation of this new zone, and if the Board adopts Resolution No. 2011/377,
establishing CSA P-6, Zone 2606 subject to voter approval of the special tax, the next
step in the process is the hearing on the adoption of a special tax ordinance, the adoption
of that ordinance and adoption of a resolution submitting the tax measure to the voters.
In this action, the Board is asked to conduct the hearing on, and adopt, the special tax
ordinance (Ordinance No. 2011-16), which would authorize the levy of a special tax for
police protection services on all taxable parcels in the area of Zone 2606 if a special tax
ballot measure is approved by a two-thirds majority of the registered voters in the zone
area. Resolution No. 2011/377, the adoption of which is also recommended, sets forth
appropriate ballot language, directs the County Clerk, Elections Division, to conduct the
aforementioned election as part of the December 6, 2011 election, and supplies
appropriate ballot language.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Failure to take action would negate the effort to put the measure before the
electorate/subdivider on the December 6, 2011, ballot.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
None.
CLERK'S ADDENDUM
CLOSED the public hearing; and ADOPT Ordinance No. 2011-16.
