Flom. JOHN COOPER/ACTING FIRE CHIEF/MORAGA FIRE DISTRICT Contra 117
Costa
DATE: APRIL 22, 1992 Qourty
SUBJECT: 1992/93 FIRE FLOW TAX RATE �n
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I . RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Establish a tax rate of 3 . 0 cents per gallon of fire flow I
for fiscal year 1992/93 in the Moraga Fire Protection
District as recommended by the Moraga Fire Commission.
(Resolution attached)
II . FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Provides additional revenue of approximately $240, 000 . 00
in fiscal year 1992/93 for the fire district.
III . REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION:
1991/92 fiscal year revenues were inadequate to meet the
total needs of the district. Additional revenue from voter
approved taxes will insure that existing service levels are
maintained and capital programs of the district can be
funded in fiscal year 1992/93 .
IV. BACKGROUND:
In June of 1980, voters of the Moraga Fire Protection
District approved a permanent fire flow taxing authority to
maintain fire district services and capital outlay
programs. Fire flow tax rates ranging from 0 to 6 cents
are established annually by the Board of Supervisors in
their capacity as Governing Board of the Moraga Fire
Protection District. County Ordinance 80-19 requires the
fire flow tax rate be set by the Board of Supervisors no
later than July 31st for levy in the 1992/93 fiscal year.
V. . CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Continuing revenue shortfalls will affect the ability of
the Moraga Fire Protection District to maintain existing
levels of fire protection, paramedic, and emergency
ambulance service; and to procure needed capital equipment
to support district programs.
