Official Sources of Information

Impartial Analysis
A YES vote on Measure A will approve a special tax to fund the purchase of fire suppression equipment and the provision of fire protection services within the Arcata Fire Protection District.

If approved by the voters, the special tax will be collected on a use-of-property basis. The maximum unit of tax is $24.00 per year. The tax rate is calculated by multiplying the unit of tax by the unit of benefit (UOB) assigned to the property use (as listed on the tax schedule that is shown as Attachment A to the ordinance). Real property owned and held in fee title by the federal, state, and local governments within the jurisdiction of the Arcata Fire Protection District would not be required to pay this special tax.

This measure will not become effective, and this supplemental special tax will not be imposed, unless two thirds (2/3) of the voters within the District approve the measure.
