Specifically, the measure requests voter approval of a maximum special benefit tax levied on a parcel, class of improvement to property and use of property basis as set forth in Ordinance No. 2004-01 of the District. The District will annually determine the amount to be levied, within the maximum amounts established. Each year there will be an annual adjustment to the maximum special benefit tax based on the increase, if any, in the consumer price index for the San Diego Region as determined by the United States Department of Labor.

The special benefit tax would no longer be collected in the event the County of San Diego establishes a fire protection district, fire authority, or contracts fire services to another fire agency to protect the citizens of the District.

Approval by two-thirds of the voters voting on the measure is required to adopt the special benefit tax. The District may not levy more than the maximum tax set forth in the ordinance without again obtaining two-thirds voter approval.

A "yes" vote means that you are in favor of adoption of an annual special benefit tax for providing fire protection and emergency medical services.

A "no" vote means that you are opposed to adoption of an annual special benefit tax for providing fire protection and emergency medical services.
