Measure R: Special Parcel Tax

Impartial analysis

MEASURE R RIM OF THE WORLD RECREATION AND PARK DISTRICT IMPARTIAL ANALYSIS OF MEASURE R This Impartial Analysis of Measure R has been prepared by County Counsel pursuant to Section 9313 of the California Elections Code. This Measure was placed on the ballot by a resolution adopted by the Rim of the World Recreation and Park District (District). A "yes" vote by at least two-thirds of the voters casting votes on this Measure will authorize the District to increase by $15.00 dollars per year the existing annual voter approved special parcel tax. The tax will increase from $22.00 per parcel to $37.00 per parcel, with an additional annual increase of 1% each year until repealed by a subsequent ballot measure approved by District voters. A "no" vote will not increase the current annual parcel tax of $22.00 per parcel and that amount will remain in effect and continue to be collected on the real property tax bill collected by San Bernardino County. The District's Resolution No. 07132026.1 was adopted pursuant to California Constitution Articles XIIIA §4, XIIIC §2 (b), XIIID §3(a), California Public Resources Code §5789.1 and, California Government Code §§ 50077, 53722, and 53724 . The proceeds of the special parcel tax shall only be used for specific purposes including, but not limited to, all costs of capital improvements, operation, maintenance, repair and/or restoration of any and all District park and recreational facilities, the operation and maintenance of District recreational services and programs, including the salaries, benefits, training, and all other District personnel dedicated to the purposes above, as well as the costs of acquiring or leasing, operating, and maintaining real property, vehicles, equipment and apparatus used for the purposes above, and the costs of addressing emergency repair including, but not limited to, that resulting from weather conditions, snow load, flood or fire. The proceeds shall be deposited in a special account used only for these specific purposes. The Chief Fiscal Officer of the District will be required to cause a report to be prepared by an independent auditor and filed with the Board of Directors no later than June 30 of each year identifying the amount collected and expended in each year and the status of any projects or programs funded from the proceeds of the special parcel tax. If approved, the special parcel tax shall be assessed to the owner of each parcel with an assigned assessor's parcel number in the District commencing on July 1, 2027. The tax will continue until modified or repealed by the voters in the District. The above statement is an impartial analysis of Measure R. If you desire a copy of the Measure, please call the District's Secretary at [phone number omitted] and a copy will be mailed at no cost to you. LAURA FEINGOLD County Counsel s/ JOLENA E.
