COUNTY COUNSEL’S IMPARTIAL ANALYSIS OF MEASURE V
STINSON BEACH FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT
INCREASE OF APPROPRIATIONS LIMIT
If this Measure is approved by a majority of the
voters, the appropriations limit for the Stinson Beach
Fire Protection District, pursuant to Article XIIIB of the
California Constitution, will be adjusted to include the
combined total of all applicable revenue sources for the
fiscal years 2017-2018 through and including 2018–2023
in order to continue funding for the fire protection and
ambulance services provided by the District.
s/BRIAN WASHINGTON
Marin County Counsel
ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF MEASURE V
Measure V is not an increase in taxes.
Measure V authorizes the District to expend the tax
dollars Stinson Beach voters already have approved.
Measure V has no effect on the tax rate. A YES vote
will NOT raise taxes.
A NO vote will not reduce taxes.
A YES vote simply increases the Fire Department’s
appropriations to equal the existing tax revenue. This
enables the District to pay for fire protection and ambulance
services.
If Measure V fails, the Fire Department budget will
have to be cut back by a significant amount.
Measure V expires automatically in four years and
must be resubmitted to the voters.
OUR TAX DOLLARS PROVIDE FOR NEEDED
SERVICES.
