Impartial analysis
The following impartial analysis was prepared for Measure S:[3]
| “ | This measure was placed on the ballot by the governing board of the Rincon Ranch Community Services District (“District”). If approved by two-thirds of the voters voting on the proposition, this proposition would establish an annual special tax on all taxable property within the District.
Amount of Tax The special tax may not exceed $5.20 per acre or portion thereof. In addition, the special tax also includes a charge of $150 per parcel. For example, one parcel consisting of ten acres would pay $202.00 (10 X $5.20 = $52 + $150 = $202), and one parcel consisting of one acre would pay $155.20 ($5.20 + $150 = $155.20). The District has indicated the special tax may be increased annually in an amount not to exceed the annual Engineering News Record (ENR) for the prior year. If two-thirds of the qualified electors voting on this measure vote for approval, the special tax will be imposed annually until repealed by the District or the voters. Purpose and Use of Special Tax Revenue This proposition requires that all special tax revenue be used for the purposes of repairing and resurfacing of the roads maintained by the District. A “YES” vote is a vote in favor of establishing a special tax for the purposes of repairing and resurfacing the roads maintained by the District. A “NO” vote is a vote against establishing a special tax for the purposes of repairing and resurfacing the roads maintained by the District.[2] |
