Albany Unified School District parcel tax, Measure I (November 2009)
From Ballotpedia
An Albany Unified School District parcel tax, Measure I ballot proposition was on the November 3, 2009 ballot in Alameda County for voters in the Albany Unified School District, where it was approved.
- Yes: 2,523 (75.83%)
- No: 804 (24.17%)
Measure I imposes a new parcel tax of $149/year on residential units and three cents per square feet on non-residential parcels. The tax will be in force for five years, and can be increased annually depending on inflation.[1]
AUSD already has imposed two other special parcel tax measures. Now that Measure I has passed, the total annual parcel tax for a residential parcel will be $555/year. Measure J, on the same ballot as Measure I, was enacted. It rolls all three together into one tax.
Ballot question
The question asked on the ballot was, "To help restore teacher positions and student services lost because of deep and unprecedented State budget cuts, including school safety and security, reading and math support, music, art and library services, shall the Albany Unified School District levy a special parcel tax for only five years at $149 per year on residential units (three cents/sq. ft. on non-residential parcels), with annual audits and adjustments for inflation, exempting homeowners age 65 and over and low-income taxpayers?"
Supporters
The editorial board of the "Contra Costa Times" supported a "yes" vote on Measure I.[2]
