Fire Chief
DATE: July 16, 1996
SUBJECT: MORAGA FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT SPECIAL TAX LEVY
(FIRE FLOW) FOR FY 1996-97
Specific Request(s) or Recommendation(s) & Background & Justification
RECOMMENDATION:
Establish a tax rate of 0 . 0 cents per gallon of fire flow for FY 1996-97 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, 1996 for levy
in FY 1996-97 .
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 1996-97
and, hence, the tax rate of 0 . 0 cents per gallon.
