IMPARTIAL ANALYSIS BY COUNTY COUNSEL
MEASURE V

If this measure is approved by at least two-thirds of those voting on it, the Scotts Valley Fire Protection District will be authorized to levy an annual special tax upon real property within the District for paramedic and fire protection services. The tax will continue until further action by the District board and the voters, and it will be collected in the same manner as property taxes.

The amount of tax on each parcel will be determined by whether the parcel is vacant, residential, or other (including commercial), according to the formula set out in the ballot measure and ordinance printed in this voter information pamphlet. The District board will consider annually whether the amount of the tax should change, within certain limits stated in the ordinance.

A "yes" vote is a vote to adopt the special tax.

A "no" vote is a vote against adopting the special tax.

Dated: August 28, 2000
