Impartial Analysis from
JOE RANK, County Counsel
The Board of Directors (the “Board ”) of the Palo Verde Cemetery District (the “Cemetery District”) has, by adopting its Resolution No. 1 (the “Resolution”), elected to call a special election pursuant to Section 4 of Article XIIIA of the California Constitution, California Government Code sections 50075 et seq. and California Election Code section 10406 to obtain authorization to levy an annual special tax of one hundred dollars ($100) (the “special tax”) for the operation, maintenance, improvements, expansions and future land acquisitions of the Cemetery District; and, to provide “cost-free” interment of human remains, meeting the cultural, economic, religious, and social needs of the Cemetery District. The Board is proposing that the special tax be imposed on real property within the boundaries of the Cemetery District. Should Measure “I” be approved, the Resolution provides:

That the special tax shall take effect on June 4, 2008 and be collected by the Riverside County Tax Collector at the same time, in the same, and subject to the same penalties as ad valorem property taxes collected by the Treasurer-Tax-Collector;

That unpaid special taxes shall bear interest at the same rate for unpaid ad valorem property taxes until paid; and,

That the collection of the special tax shall not decrease the funds available from other sources of the Cemetery District in any period from the effective date.

The Board has called this election for the purposes of submitting this measure to the voters of the Cemetery District. For this measure to be approved, two-thirds (2/3) of those persons voting on the measure must vote yes. If approved, subject to conditions set forth in the Resolution, the Cemetery District will be authorized to impose the special tax.

A “Yes” vote on Measure “I” is a vote to authorize the Cemetery District to levy an annual special property tax in the amount of one hundred dollars ($100).

A "No" vote on Measure "I" is a vote against providing the Cemetery District with the authorization to levy an annual special property tax in the amount of one hundred dollars ($100).
