SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
On March 7, 2000, a 70.7% majority of Monterey County voters approved changing the countywide CSA-74 levy to a special tax of up to $12.00 per service unit. The rate has remained constant at $12.00 since FY 2000-01. The attached resolution levies the countywide Emergency Medical Services System Special Tax for FY 2012-13 at the continued rate of $12.00 per service unit. A summarized history of CSA 74 outlining services and fees is included in this Board packet.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:

FINANCING:
The EMS staff estimates that the Special Tax levy will generate $1.6 million in revenue and is included in the FY 2012-13 Recommended Budget. These revenues will adequately fund the EMS Agency budget. There is no impact to the General Fund from approval of this Board action.
