SUBJECT: Moraga Fire Protection District Special Tax Levy
(Fire Flow) for FY 1995-96
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACK ROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION
Establish a tax rate of 0.0 cents per gallon of fire flow for FY 1995-96 in the Moraga Fire Protection
District as recommended by the Moraga Fire Commission. (Resolution attached)
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND:
In June of 1980, voters of Moraga Fire Protection District approved a permanent fire flow taxing
authority to maintain Fire District services and capital outlay programs.
In November of 1992, the voters approved an increase in the maximum rate from 6.0 cents to 30.0
cents.
Fire flow tax rates ranging from 0 to 30.0 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 31, 1995 for levy
in FY 1995-96.
Due to financial concerns about the adequacy of the District's general fund in Fiscal Years 1992-93,
1993-94 and 1994-95, considering the potential for further property tax shifts due to the State's
ongoing budget problems, the fire flow tax rate was levied at 6.0, 6.0 and 3.5 cents, respectively, in
those fiscal years. Given the current status of the fire flow tax fund, the Moraga Fire Commission
does not believe it is necessary to levy the tax in FY 1995-96 and, hence, the tax rate of 0.0 cents
per gallon.
