RESOLUTION NO. 15410
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 2025-26
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:
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 2025-26.
