The Ad Hoc Committee for Per Parcel Tax for Police Services submitted its final report and recommendations to the Board of Directors.

The Ad Hoc Committee was charged with conducting a financial analysis of the current per-parcel tax to fund law enforcement in Bear Valley, then using that data to recommend a potential tax measure for a future ballot. The Ad Hoc Committee was also charged with recommending an oversight and accountability framework.

The Ad Hoc Committee Report provides four key recommendations:

• Set a proposed tax amount between $350 and $380 with no escalator.
• Add a "sunset" clause so the tax expires between 6 and 10 years from enactment.
• Put the tax proposal before voters in a special election on March 2, 2027.
• Assign oversight duty to the existing CSD Finance Committee.

The CSD Board of Directors received and filed the recommendations and will determine the next steps regarding a potential tax increase proposal at a future meeting.

Please note that any proposed tax would require approval by voters in Bear Valley Springs.
