The City Council for Daly City has placed Measure V on the November 8, 2016 ballot. Measure V proposes to add Chapter 3.26, titled Public Safety Parcel Tax, to the Daly City Municipal Code and provides for the collection of a special parcel tax. The Public Safety Parcel Tax is a special tax on each parcel of real property in Daly City and is authorized under the authority of Section 4 of Article XIII-A of the California Constitution. A "special" tax is a tax that the City can use only for the purposes specified in the tax measure. The tax rates in Measure V comply with the California Constitution. Measure V would correspondingly increase the appropriations limit under Article XIII-B of the California Constitution. As a special tax, one hundred percent of the proceeds would go to the City's general fund and only be used to fund the restoration of police and fire personnel and related operational costs. The special parcel tax will cover salaries and benefits, recruitment, training, uniforms, protective gear, and fire appartus costs for police and fire personnel for a period of five years. Daly City may not use the funds for any other purpose. The Public Safety Parcel Tax will commence on July 1, 2017 on all taxable parcels of real property, improved or unimproved, in Daly City at ther rate of $162.00 per parcel per year for a period of five years ending June 30, 2022. The special tax is a flat tax on each parcel of real property in Daly City and will not increase at any time during the five-year period. A "Yes" vote on Measure V means the voter is in favor of approving the Public Safety Parcel Tax for Daly City. A "No" vote means the voter is opposed and tax would not be collected. Two-thirds of the qualified voters casting a vote must vote "yes" for the measure to pass. The above statement is an impartial analysis of Measure V.
