The question on your ballot

To maintain rapid 9-1-1 emergency response times and preserve the number of on-duty paramedics ready to respond to accidents/medical emergencies, shall the Ross Valley Paramedic Authority measure be adopted continuing for four years the paramedic services special tax of up to $107.50/residential living unit or 1,000 square feet of developed nonresidential property, adjusted up to $4.00/ year, generating approximately $834,000 annually, with annual audits, public spending disclosure and all funds for local paramedic services?

In plain language

Measure S asks voters to keep a special tax that pays for paramedic services. It is a Ross Valley Paramedic Authority measure on the City of Larkspur ballot. The ballot question says the money is to keep 9-1-1 response times fast and keep the number of on-duty paramedics. A YES vote continues the tax for four years. All of the money would go to local paramedic services. There would be yearly audits and public reports on spending. A NO vote means the tax is not continued.

Fiscal impact

The tax would be up to $107.50 per home (residential living unit) or per 1,000 square feet of developed nonresidential property. It could go up by as much as $4.00 a year. It would raise about $834,000 a year for four years.
