(Bond Authorization - 55% Approval Required)
- Should fifty-five percent of the votes cast by the voters of the Oakdale Joint Unified School District voting on the measure allow the District to incur a bonded indebtedness and authorize the issuance and sale of general obligation bonds of the District in the amount of $20,000,000?
Subject to the provisions of the California Constitution and the California Education Code, an annual tax shall be levied upon the property within the jurisdiction of the District for the interest and redemption of all outstanding bonds of the District authorized by this measure. The annual tax shall not be less than sufficient to pay the interest on the bonds as it becomes due and to provide a sinking fund for payment of the principal on or before maturity and may include an allowance for an annual reserve, established for the purpose of avoiding fluctuating tax levies.
- Measure R.
Mosquito Abatement
-- County of San Joaquin
(2/3 Approval Required)
67,303 /
59.4% Yes votes ......
45,964 /
40.6% No votes
- Shall the voters approve by a 2/3 vote, a parcel tax to fund the services of vector and vectorborne disease surveillance and control? The San Joaquin County Mosquito and Vector Control District proposes an annual special tax as set forth in the District's Ordinance.
The special tax would be based on a per parcel basis for all nonexempt taxable parcels as shown on the County's official tax rolls, not on the property's use or value. The best estimate of the tax which would be required to fund the services of vector and vectorborne disease surveillance and control during the first fiscal year after the adoption of this tax, based on the estimated number of nonexempt parcels available at the time of filing of the tax rate statement is $3.89 per nonexempt parcel.
If two-thirds (2/3) of those voting on this measure vote "YES," the District may levy a special tax up to the amounts set forth in the Ordinance.
