Shall the Crescent Fire Protection District establish and impose standby or availability charges, not to exceed $10.00 per unit of benefit per year, for fire suppression and rescue services on all real property within its boundaries? (Measure A, 11/4/1980.) (Note: In the voter pamphlet, the county counsel wrote: “The Jarvis Gann initiative, ’Proposition 13,’ prohibited, with certain exceptions, any increase in property taxes beyond the 1975 level, without a 2/3 affirmative vote. In addition, the initiative prohibited all new ad valorem taxes. The Crescent Fire Protection District’s proposed standby or availability charges are not ad valorem taxes; that is, they do not vary according to the value of the property. The standby charge proposal is, therefore, not prohibited by the Jarvis Gann initiative, if approved by a 2/3’s vote at this election.”)
Rate:
The standby or availability charge shall not exceed: $100 per residential parcel; $200 per agricultural parcel; $300 per commercial parcel; $400 per industrial parcel. The rate of the charge is calculated by the “units of benefit” applied to each parcel, outlined in Measure A and based upon the acreage of a property.
