RESOLUTION NO. 15296
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN RAFAEL
MAINTAINING PARAMEDIC SERVICE SPECIAL TAX RATES AT THEIR
CURRENT LEVELS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2024-25
WHEREAS, the electors of the City of San Rafael in 1979 and in 1988, adopted a Paramedic
Service Special Tax (Chapter 3.28 of the San Rafael Municipal Code) to be imposed annually upon
all residential units and non-residential structures within the City of San Rafael; and
WHEREAS, on November 2, 2010, the electors of the City of San Rafael approved Measure
“I”, subsequently designated as Ordinance No. 1891, increasing the ceiling on the Paramedic Service
Special Tax rate to $108.00 per residential unit and to $0.14 per square foot of non-residential
structures; and
WHEREAS, the current annual Paramedic Service Special Tax rates in the city limits of the
City of San Rafael are $108.00 per residential unit and $0.140 per square foot of non-residential
structures; and
WHEREAS, the City Council, after reviewing the proposed budget recommendation of the
City Manager, finds that for the City of San Rafael, the basic rate is insufficient to cover the cost of
providing the paramedic service to San Rafael residents; however, the current tax rate for San Rafael
is at its maximum rate as approved by the voters.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the San Rafael City Council that:
1. The Paramedic Service Special Tax rates in the City of San Rafael shall be maintained at their
current levels, at $108.00 per year for each residential unit and $0.140 per square foot for non-
residential structures, for Fiscal Year 2024-25.
