Impartial analysis
The following impartial analysis was prepared for Measure G:[1]
| “ |
The Happy Camp Fire Protection District is proposing a special tax measure to be submitted to the voters in the district. The tax, if passed by a two-thirds vote of those voting on the measure, would help fund operation of the fire department for a period of five years. Improved parcels would be taxed at $39.00 per year and unimproved parcels would be taxed at $12.00 per year. California Health and Safety Code Section 13911 and Government Code Sections 50075- 50077.5 authorize a process to propose and submit a special tax to the voters. These provisions require accountability measures, including a requirement that the proceeds from the special tax be placed into a special account and that a report be prepared annually that provides details on the amount of taxes collected in that year and showing that the taxes were used solely for the specific purpose of the tax. A “Yes” vote is a vote to authorize the special tax for the stated purposes. A “No” vote is a vote against the special tax. This measure has been placed on the ballot by the Board of Directors of the Happy Camp Fire Protection District.[2] |
