IMPARTIAL ANALYSIS BY COUNTY COUNSEL OF MEASURE Y
By Lloyd W. Pellman, County Counsel

 
Approval of Measure "Y" would authorize the Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District to levy a special tax of $98 per year upon each parcel of land located within the District.

The tax would be used to attract teachers, improve instruction and counseling, enhance athletic, music and arts programs, purchase science materials and computer technology, and maintain a safe learning environment.

The tax would be levied for up to ten (10) years commending July 1, 2001, and would be adjusted annually in accordance with the Consumer Price Index (CPI-U) for All Urban Consumers (Los Angeles-Riverside-Orange area).  Collection of the tax is not intended to decrease the funds available from other sources to the District.  In the event that it does, the District shall cease to levy the tax.

This measure requires a two thirds (2/3) vote for passage.
