    State Propositions

    Proposition 98 Government Acquisition, Regulation of Private Property
    Fail: 1,652,188 / 38.5% Yes votes ...... 2,643,987 / 61.5% No votes
    Bars state and local governments from condemning or damaging private property for private uses. Prohibits rent control and similar measures. Prohibits deference to government in property rights cases. Defines "just compensation." Requires an award of attorneys fees and costs if a property owner obtains a judgment for more than the amount offered by the government. Requires government to offer to original owner of condemned property the right to repurchase property at condemned price when property is put to substantially different use than was publicly stated. Summary of estimate by Legislative Analyst and Director of Finance of fiscal impact on state and local government: Increased costs to many governments due to the measure's restrictions. The fiscal effect on most governments probably would not be significant.

    Proposition 99 Eminent Domain. Acquisition of Owner-Occupied Residence
    Pass: 2,645,761 / 62.0% Yes votes ...... 1,620,903 / 38.0% No votes
    Bars state and local governments from using eminent domain to acquire an owner-occupied residence, as defined, for conveyance to a private person or business entity. Creates exceptions for public work or improvement, public health and safety protection, and crime prevention. Summary of estimate by Legislative Analyst and Director of Finance of fiscal impact on state and local government: The measure would likely not have a significant fiscal impact on state or local governments.

    Local Measures

    Measure A School Bonds -- Ross School District (55%)
    Pass: 894 / 75.57% Yes votes ...... 289 / 24.43% No votes
    To provide funding to complete necessary school facilities improvements in one phase, including second-story classrooms, eliminating the need for long-term portable classrooms along Ross Common and creating space for a privately-funded gymnasium/community center, shall the Ross School District be authorized to issue up to $6.75 million in bonds at interest rates within the legal limit as specified in the Bond Project List, with a Citizens' Oversight Committee to monitor all financial activity?

    Measure B Parcel Tax -- Nicasio School District (Two-Thirds Approval Required)
    Pass: 174 / 71.90% Yes votes ...... 68 / 28.10% No votes
    To maintain small class sizes structured in appropriate multi-grade classroom configurations, to increase compensation for teachers and staff, and to support school operations and vital instructional programs, should the Nicasio School District implement a parcel tax commencing July 1, 2008 for a period of eight (8) years at a rate of $375.00 per parcel, with a 4% annual cost of living adjustment for each year thereafter, with an exemption for property owners 65 and older?

    Shall the City of Belvedere be authorized to continue adjusting its appropriation limit for the annual fire protection and emergency medical services levy, pursuant to Article XIIIB of the California Constitution, for the period 7/1/2008 through 6/30/2012? The levy for FY 2008-2009 shall not exceed the rate authorized in Chapter 3.28 of the Belvedere Municipal Code. (The current levy is $548 per residential dwelling unit, $625 per occupancy in commercial structures, and $110 per vacant parcel.)
