RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF
THE MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL OPEN SPACE
DISTRICT OPPOSING PROPOSITION 13 (JARVIS
GANN INITIATIVE) APPEARING BEFORE THE
VOTERS IN THE JUNE 6, 1978 ELECTION
WHEREAS, it is extremely unlikely that the Midpeninsula
Regional Open Space District will be able to continue to acquire
land for public enjoyment and recreation if Proposition 13
(the Jarvis -Gann Initiative) is approved at the June 6, 1978
election, and
WHEREAS, the attached analysis of the effects of pending
tax relief measures indicates that Proposition 13 would grievously
interfere with the District's programs, cripple many public
services at the local level, result in inequitible property
tax assessments, and divert control over the local tax burden
from the voters to the State legislature, and
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors believes there are
alternative methods of accomplishing tax relief that will still
enable the District to continue to fulfill its obligation to the
voters of preserving open space lands,
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Directors
of the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District is opposed to
Proposition 13 and urges its defeat in the June 6, 1978 election.
