Shall the Rincon Ranch Community Services District be authorized to establish and levy a special tax override, for a period of 10 years, on all taxable real property within its boundaries for the purpose of providing funds for repair and resurface of the roads maintained by the district, with this special tax not to exceed five dollars and twenty cents ($5.20) per acre, or portion thereof, plus one hundred fifty dollars ($150) per parcel of land per year?

Impartial Analysis from the County Counsel
This proposition, if approved by two-thirds of the voters voting on the proposition, would establish an annual special tax for ten (10) years on all taxable property within the Rincon Ranch Community Services District (“District”).

Maximum Amount of Tax

The special tax may not exceed $5.20 per acre or portion thereof. In addition, the special tax also includes a charge of $150 per parcel. For example, one parcel consisting of 10 acres would pay $202.00 (10 X $5.20 = $52 + $150 = $202), and one parcel consisting of one acre would pay $155.20 ($5.20 + $150 = $155.20).

Purpose and Use of Special Tax Revenue

This proposition requires that all special tax revenue be used for the purposes of repairing and resurfacing of the roads maintained by the District.

A “YES” vote is a vote in favor of establishing a special tax for ten years for the purposes of repairing and resurfacing the roads maintained by the District.

A “NO” vote is a vote against establishing a special tax for ten years for the purposes of repairing and resurfacing the roads maintained by the District.

Arguments For Proposition U
Your friends and neighbors on the Rincon Ranch Community Services District Board have placed a proposition on the November Ballot to provide the necessary funds to improve the existing roads that the district maintains. If passed, Proposition U will collect the required funds over the next 10 years and make the improvements starting around 2014. By that time, it will be 22 years since our last overlay project. The last overlay was funded from a similar special road tax approved by the voters in the district.

The only revenue the district currently receives is a portion of the l% general tax revenue, approximately $9,500 annually, which is barely enough for insurance, required audit fees, county tax collection and road maintenance charges. It is imperative that we protect our investment in our roads NOW. If we allow further deterioration it will cost thousands more in the future.

We urge you to vote YES ON PROPOSITION U. Let’s protect our roads and property values.
