Dear Chairman Torlakson:
Thank you for taking time to include the City of San Ramon amongst
the cities in our fine county who will help deliver the message of
our collective fiscal dilemma to the State Capitol. While this
City wishes to and does support your efforts in making this State's
leaders aware of the impacts tax shifts will .have upon the ability
of fire districts to operate, we have a need. to also remind them of
San Ramon' s unique situation.
The City of San Ramon is served by two fire agencies, one a Fire
Protection District and one a Joint Powers Authority between this
City and the City of Dublin in Alameda County with each of the
jurisdictions serving approximately one-half of the City area. For
the many years that this situation has existed, all of our citizens
have paid essentially the same for fire protection services and
received essentially the same level of service. Faced with this
State's current proposal to withdraw funds, the residents of this
City are faced with the possibility of differing costs for the same
.levels of service .or differing levels of service for the same costs
or some other combination of costs and service levels which are
unequal.
While you share with this State's leaders our concern over the fire
district's loss of property tax, ask them to reflect upon the
plight of this City and- its residents who have worked hard to keep
fire protection costs down and service levels appropriate.
