ORDINANCE NO. 1727
An ordinance of the City of San Rafael
amending Ordinance 1699 (Paramedic service
Special Tax) and setting the Paramedic Tax
rate, commencing with fiscal year 1998/99 for
residential and non-residential properties.
WHEREAS, the electors of the City of San Rafael in 1979 and
in 1988, adopted a paramedic service tax (Chapter 3.28 of the San
Rafael Municipal Code) to be imposed annually upon all residential
and commercial properties within the City of San Rafael; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has the authority under the
paramedic tax ordinance, to revise the amount of this tax, within
certain limits, based upon a budget recommendation of the City
Manager; and
WHEREAS, the passage of Proposition 218 by the voters of the
State of .California in November of 1996 and the subsequent
approval of SB919 by the State Legislature limited the ability and
scope under which the City Council has the authority to revise the
amount of this tax; and
WHEREAS, the City Council, after reviewing the proposed
budget recommendation of the City Manager, finds that the basic
paramedic tax rate needs to be changed to reflect changes in the
charges and costs of providing paramedic service, and that the
current tax rate is insufficient to cover the costs of providing
paramedic service;
THEREFORE, the City council of the City of San Rafael does
ordain as follows:
Division 1 Pursuant to Chapter 3.28, Section 3.28.060
thereof, the Council of the City of San Rafael does hereby set the
basic residential tax rate for paramedic service at $40.00 per
living unit within the City limits, and hereby increases a tax
rate to $.05 per square foot on nonresidential properties.
Division 2 The Council hereby determines that the basic
tax rate shall be revised to partially, but not wholly, cover the
cost of providing paramedic service, based upon a budget
recommended by the City Manager.
Division 3 If any section, subsection, sentence, clause,
or phrase of this ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid
such holding or holdings shall not affect the validity of the
remaining portions of this ordinance and each section, subsection,
sentence, clause or phrase thereof, irrespective of the fact that
any one or more sections, subsections, sentences, clauses, or
phrases be declared invalid.
Division 4 This Ordinance shall be published once in
full before its final passage in a newspaper of general
circulation, published and circulated in the City of San Rafael,
and shall be in full force and effect thirty (30) days after its
final passage.
