VOTERS TO VOTE
WHEREAS, provisions of Proposition 218, the Right to Vote on Taxes Act, have
eliminated the $51.7 million annually generated by the Fire Protection District of Los Angeles
County's Fire Suppression Benefit Assessment; and
WHEREAS,if replacement funding such as a proposed special tax is not found due to
Proposition 218, severe reductions in emergency fire and paramedic services will be required
resulting in a greater risk to public safety and a higher potential for the loss of lives and property;
and
WHEREAS,balancing the Fire District's budget to meet a$51.7 million loss of revenue
would most likely include:
• Closure of more than 20 neighborhood fire stations
• Loss of 34 engine companies
• Reduction in daily fire company staffing by 157 firefighters
1 • Impact to paramedic and specialized rescue responses
• Elimination of non-emergency services
• Layoffs of firefighters and other employees; and
WHEREAS, fewer stations, less firefighters and paramedics on duty each day and the
longer response times that would result in this City, 47 other county contract cities, and the
unincorporated areas of Los Angeles County, all combine to pose a grave threat to life and
property and would likely result in higher fire insurance rates as well; and
WHEREAS,the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors has called for a special
election on June 3, 1997; and
WHEREAS,the Board of Supervisors has placed on the ballot a special tax,Proposition
"E", which calls for replacement funding for fire and paramedic emergency services.
NOW, THEREFORE,BE IT RESOLVED that,we,
the City Council of the City of
Rosemead, endorse Proposition E and encourage all of the voters of our City to vote YES on
Proposition "E" on June 3, 1997.

FIRE AND PARAMEDIC SERVICES
FUNDING SHORTFALL - BALLOT MEASURE
On Tuesday, June 3, 1997, our hometown fire department, the Los.Angeles County Fire
Department, which serves our city and 51 other cities, will ask residents to vote on Proposition E -
Replacement Funding for Fire and Paramedic Emergency Services. If approved, the
replacement special tax would continue vital funding for fire protection and emergency medical
services currently derived from a benefit assessment that has been in place since 1991.
The necessity for Proposition E is due to the passage of Proposition 218 in last November's
election, which eliminated the Fire Department's authority to levy a benefit assessment. State law
does not allow the County's General Fund to fund the Fire Department due to its special district
status.
If the proposed replacement special tax is not approved by two-thirds of the voters, our Fire
Department will lose $51.7 million on July 1, 1997, which funds approximately 17 percent of its
annual fire station operational costs. The Fire Department is estimating it will have to close 20 fire
stations and 34 engines and reduce daily staffing by 157 fire fighters and paramedics out of its 744
on-duty daily strengths. This creates the potential for major delays in emergency medical and fire
responses due to fewer resources having to travel from greater distances as well as a diminished
ability to attack the fire due to reduced staffing.
No increase in funding is being requested. Overall, the total amount of revenue to be
generated by the replacement special tax will equal the amount currently funded by the benefit
assessment. If approved, no annual increases are allowed other than that allowed by Proposition 13
(capped at two percent or C.P.1).
The current benefit assessment was enacted only to serve as a revenue stabilizer during tough
economic times. The current annual benefit assessment is $50.96 per home, which was reduced by
the Fire Department by nine percent from $55.96 in 1995-96 paralleling property tax growth. If.
approved, the replacement special tax would be $48.00 annually per residence--another $2.96
reduction. Other types of properties would be assessed according to use and size of improvements.
This measure creates a Citizens' Oversight Committee to ensure all funds are allocated for fire
protection and emergency medical services.
We urge all of our citizens to VOTE on June 3.

What_Created the Fundine Problem?
• On November 5. 1996, Proposition 218 (The Right to Vote on Taxes Act) was passed by the voters which
invalidated the Fire Department's benefit assessment — an annual loss of$51.7 million. Further, on
March 3, 1997, a Superior Court judge ruled against the Fire Department in a lawsuit seeking to validate
our benefit assessment. This ruling created the need to allow for a long-term replacement to continue this
revenue source and existing service levels.
Proposed Solu 'on
• A special tax — that would replace the current benefit assessment and continue the equivalent$51.7 million
now annually received —has been placed on the June 3, 1997 ballot for two-thirds voter approval. The
replacement special tax is designed to raise the same amount of revenue that will be lost on July 1, 1997.
Brief Financial History
• Fiscal Year 1991-92: Fire Suppression Benefit Assessment was enacted by the Board of Supervisors to
serve as a revenue stabilizer during tough economic times.
• Fiscal Year 1992-93: State diverted $36 million of the Fire Department's property tax revenue to the State's
Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund (ERAF). The$36 million loss was mitigated by $15 million in
budget cuts and a$21 million benefit assessment increase.

• Early 1995: Depressed property values, exacerbated by thousands of property tax reductions and refunds,
caused a cumulative property tax shortfall that would grow to $59.1 million from 1994-95 to 1996-97. This
shortfall was mitigated by:
• July 1995: The Fire Department instituted a reduced spending plan that cut over$10 million from the Department's
budget during Fiscal Year 1995-96. The Public Education Unit was disbanded,and the Community Relations Unit
and on-duty platoon management positions were reduced.
• September 1995: The Board of Supervisors approved an increase in the benefit assessment of an additional
$21 million per year of revenue.
• Combined ongoing $10 million reduced spending plan and the$21 million in Benefit Assessment revenue totals
531 million over two years to address the projected$59.I million revenue shortfall in 1996-97.
• September 1996: The Board of Supervisors was able to reduce the benefit assessment rates by 9 percent to
its 1996-97 level of$51.7 million due to property tax growth, and still maintain the current level of service.
How You Will be Affected It the Special Tax Does Not Pass By 4 Two-Thirds Vote
• One of every five fire stations will close.
• On-duty daily fire fighters will be reduced by one in five.
• This potential reduction in resources equates to the firefighting and paramedic resources necessary to protect
500,000 plus residents and 100 square miles.
• Delays will occur due to fewer resources protecting same areas.
• Greater risk for loss of lives and property.
• Reduced ability to respond to major disasters such as major wildland fires, earthquakes, floods, terrorist
attacks, and civil disturbances.
• Response to daily emergencies such as house fires, paramedic rescues, injuries, traffic accidents and
drownings would be impaired.
Without these resources, fire protection and paramedic units may come from farther away, delays may occur,
and support units may not be available.
,.lternatives?
State law does not allow the County's General Fund to fund the Fire Department due to its special district
status. The ability of fire districts to levy benefit assessments is controversial—new requirements imposed by
Proposition 218 have the legal community in a quandary as to its implications. The hard reality is, if the
special tax does not gain two-thirds voter approval, service delivery reductions will have to be made to bring
costs in line with lowered revenue.
More about the Proposed Special Tax
The Special Tax will appear on the June 3, 1997 ballot as Proposition E. The total amount of revenue
generated will be equal to the current benefit assessment amount. For homeowners, the special tax would be
$48.00, a slight reduction from the $50.96 benefit assessment amount. Impact to other properties varies
according to use and size of improvements, and vacant land will be assessed as well, The special tax would be
levied in aII unincorporated areas and in the same cities that the benefit assessment is currently levied. Like
the cap imposed by Proposition 13 on ad valorem taxes, annual increases would be capped at C.P.I. or
2 percent, whichever is less. Only registered voters in those areas where the special tax would be levied are
allowed to vote. A special tax requires two-thirds voter approval to pass. If approved, the special tax would
be exclusively dedicated to the Fire Department. Expenditures would be reviewed by an Independent Citizen's
Oversight Committee.

YES on PROPOSITION E
April 9, 1997
Dear City Manager:
On Tuesday, June 3, 1997, there will be a special election of great importance to your city, 47 other
municipalities and all of the unincorporated areas of Los Angeles County. Voters will be asked to
vote on Proposition E, a special tax to replace the current benefit assessment that helps fund the Los
Angeles County Consolidated Fire District. Proposition E requires a two-thirds vote of the people.
If the benefit assessment is not replaced with Proposition E, we estimate that more than 20 fire
stations in the Consolidated Fire District will be forced to close as well as see a reduction in personnel
and equipment. Overall, the Consolidated Fire District would lose $51.7 million annually, beginning
on July 1, 1997, for fire protection and emergency paramedic services.
We are urging the city councils in all 48 cities affected by the potential cutbacks in fire and paramedic
services to pass a resolution urging a Yes on Proposition E. For your convenience, a sample
resolution and fact sheet are enclosed.
We also understand that a representative from the Consolidated Fire District recently contacted you
in order to provide you with an information briefing on Proposition E but did not give you a sample
resolution and endorsement form as they are prohibited from taking an advocacy position on the
measure.
If you would like a representative from the Consolidated Fire District to speak at a city council
meeting, please call the Consolidated Fire District's Speakers Bureau at (213) 881-2406.
We look forward to your city's support and participation in the days ahead. Please inform your
constituents of the importance of voting YES on Proposition E on June 3.

ANTICIPATED IMPACT OF THE PROPOSED SPECIAL TAX
AS COMPARED TO EXISITING BENEFIT ASSESSMENT
The exisiting benefit assessment and the proposed special tax are materially different in
methodology of charges. Comparing their impact is similar to comparing apples to bananas.
However some comparisons can be made as the attached indicates on a case by case basis.
Simply stated, the benefit assessment employs average square feet of development by
Assessor use code while the proposed special tax uses a base charge modified by square feet
of development. Consequently the proposed special tax is sensitive to size of improvement.
This results in charges that are higher or lower calibrated to size. Single family homeowners
will have a flat annual rate of $48.00 which is a $2.96 saving when compared to the benefit
assessment.
While parcels with larger improvements may pay more than they currently do under the benefit
assessment, the proposed special tax will result in a savings to most smaller occupancy
owners.
An analysis,of the current parcel distribution is as follows:
Parcels % of Total
Single Family Residential 603,189 86.86%
Multi-family- Non Residential <2500 Sq. Ft 64,645 9.32%
Multi-family- Non Residential 2500-10,000 Sq. Ft. 15,682 2.26%
Multi-family- Non Residential 10K-50K Sq. Ft. 7,964 1.12%
Multi-family- Non Residential 50K- 100K Sq. Ft. 1,573 0.23%
Multi-family- Non Residential 100K> 1,391 . 0.21%
Total 694,444 - 100.00
Based on the above distribution of improvements of the existing benefit assessment parcels, it
is anticipated that most property owners who own property with 2500 square fee or less will
either have a savings or a slightly high charge under the proposed special tax.
The attached charts provide examples and formula basis for more precise comparisons if an
interested party wishes to calculate a specific charge.
In addition, churches and other non-profit institutions are not charged in a special tax while
they are charged in a benefit assessment.
•
Finally, the special tax would affect 832,262 parcels which is an increase of 147,818 parcels of
which 123,309 parcels are vacant land previously not assessed. The net affect is that the
same financial need of$51.7 million is spread over 21% more parcels.
