Notice from the Kern County Elections Office: An error was made on the November 8, 2022 ballot regarding Measure V and W. The word "minimum" was erroneously printed on the ballot instead of "maximum". An official notice is being mailed to all voters with the correct language.

Measure V      Shall the Gate Operations Special Tax Ordinance imposing a flat tax on each parcel of real property within the Bear Valley Community Services District at a maximum rate of $185 per parcel, per year, and with an annual inflationary adjustment not to exceed two percent (2%) per year for the purpose of paying gate personnel, administration and operational costs, including the cost of associated gate equipment and facilities, which is estimated to generate $665,000 annually until amended or repealed, with regular financial audits, be adopted?

Measure W      Shall the Police Services Special Tax Ordinance imposing a flat tax on each parcel of real property within the Bear Valley Community Services District at a maximum rate of $500 per parcel, per year, and with an annual inflationary adjustment not to exceed two percent {2%) per year for the purpose of paying Bear Valley Police Department personnel, administration and operational costs, including the costs of associated Police Department equipment, supplies, and support facilities, which is estimated to generate $1,800,000 annually until amended or repealed, with regular financial audits, be adopted?

We apologize for any confusion this may have caused.

Sincerely,
