Background:
On July 2, 1993 the Board adopted Resolution 225-93 establishing a library benefit assessment for the operation of the Cameron Park Branch Library. An advisory vote in June 1994 received a 53% majority in favor of continuing the assessment. The assessment is necessary to fund the partial operating costs of the Cameron Park Library (staff, books, utilities).
Reason for Recommendation:
Benefit Assessment law requires an annual public hearing to receive comment regarding the continuation of the assessment. The amount of the assessment is $25 per dwelling unit, with exceptions for apartments which are assessed at $20 and mobile homes in parks which are assessed at $12.50. The assessment has remained unchanged since 1993.
Action to be taken following Board approval:
Adoption of Resolution
Auditor/Controller to place assessment on 2008/2009 property tax bills.
