Last week, Fire Chief Tim Fike spoke to the Rotary Club of Nevada County South. I offered to Chief Fike to post information about the Special Tax in support of NCCFD on this blog and Facebook. Good luck Chief Fike!
With the decline in property tax and other revenue including AB-1600, totaling nearly $350,000, and increasing costs of $155,000 for Workers Comp, the District is currently operating at a significant deficit in excess of half a million dollars. After careful consideration of future known cost increases, and continued declining revenues, Staff recommends immediate action be taken to stabilize the budget.
We recommend this action be in the form of a Special Tax that will allow the voters an opportunity to maintain our existing level of service. Further, Staff recommends a rate of:
* $52.00 annually for a single family dwelling
* $39.00 annually for 2nd dwelling units and mobile homes
* $26.00 annually for unimproved vacant/timber/ag
* $0.04 annually per square foot commercial/office/industrial
* $0.02 annually per square food commercial/office/industrial with sprinklers
