BACKGROUNDIREASONfS) FOR RECOMMENDATIONtS):
The Blackhawk Police Advisory Committee for County Service Area P•2(Zone A) is proposing a tax increase
measure for the March 2, 2004 ballot. If passed by a two-thirds majority of the electorate, the measure would
provide additional funding for police protection within the boundaries of this County Service Area,which will
allow Blackhawk to continue with its present level of police service from 2005 through 2011. If there is no
additional revenue, the P-2A Board will be forced to reduce coverage by one Officer in 2005.
The Blackhawk Committee for Ongoing Police Service has been actively promoting the proposed measure in
the community, and presentations regarding the tax increase proposal have been made to various groups,
including the Blackhawk Homeowners Association. There has been no significant opposition voiced during the
ongoing promotional campaign. The Committee for Ongoing Police Service is continuing in its efforts to
promote the tax increase proposal and to assemble sponsors who are known for their contributions to the
Blackhawk community to be listed on promotional mailings to be sent during the election campaign if the
measure is placedon the ballot.
CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Failure to take action would negate the Committee's effort to put the measure before the electorate on the
March 2, 2004 ballot.
