Fiscal Impact/Change to Net County Cost:
The estimated cost of the election is $500.00. All costs associated with the election will be funded from the Dolly Varden Lane Zone of Benefit assessments or special tax.
A total of 21 parcels within the zone are currently assessable. However, in 1992 the Adviosry Committee recommended a $0.00 assessment until such time as the fund balance for the zone was depleted to $2,000.00. Zone operations have been funded through the balance carried forward from year to year. Changes in County code and state law that have since occurred require a protest ballot proceeding or an election in order to re-instate the benefit assessment or to establish a special tax.
The zone advisory committee recently advised Department of Transporation staff of their desire to once again assess the parcels within the zone in order to fund future projects and continue zone operations. If the proposed measure is approved, the current $0.00 benefit assessment will be replaced with a special tax of $200.00 per parcel for fiscal year 2007/2008, which will be adjusted to $100.00 per parcel for fiscal year 2008/2009 and each year thereafter. The special tax, if approved, will result in annual revenue of $4,200.00 in 2007/2008, and annual revenue each year thereafter of $2,100.00.
