If Measure G is approved, the District may continue to levy this annual special tax while the District has the authority to exercise public recreation powers. Other than the automatic increase tied to the CPI and capped at 2%, the special tax may not be increased by the District without first obtaining voter approval. The amount levied annually per parcel shall be determined based on the amount necessary to pay the costs of services for providing public recreation and to pay for the cost of collection of the tax. The proceeds of the special tax may only be used for those purposes.

If this measure is not approved by at least two-thirds (2/3rds) of the voters voting on the measure, the District will not be authorized to levy and collect the special tax to finance public recreation. Also, Measure G must be approved by a majority vote in order for the District to have the authority to exercise its powers for the purpose of public recreation, which power will be financed by the proceeds of this special tax.

A new park with youth baseball/softball fields with outfields that double as regulation soccer or football fields, BBQ/picnic areas, tot lots, basketball courts etc... will meet some of our needs. In addition to parks, RCSD can set up/run such activities as children and craft centers, education activities, games and athletic contests. After a park is built, cost of the programs that RCSD will administer will remain and the amount of the special tax can decrease until the next park is planned, approved and built.

The value each of us receives in new recreation areas for our families far exceeds the special tax maximum of $45.00 per parcel per year.

The time has come to accept responsibility for our own direction. Measure H both needs and deserves your support.

Recommends approval of Measure H
