BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Ramon Valley), which does not include paramedic subsidy, is $3.94. These rates are unchanged from the prior
year.
On July 29th, the Board of Supervisors approved the Final Report and adopted Resolution No. 2014/269. Contra
Costa EMS was subsequently informed by the Auditor-Controller's Office that there was a discrepancy between
the final numbers for Measure H in Zone A which came to light after the Board of Supervisors approved the final
tax roll. Zone A now reports increased revenue compared to the final numbers included in the report approved on
July 29th. Therefore, the Department is requesting that the Board adopt Resolution No. 2014/311 superseding
Resolution No. 2014/269 and correcting the errors in the final numbers.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Failure to accurately set the CSA EM-1 assessments may result in the EM-1 assessments not being included in the
property tax bills.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
Not applicable.
