Why This Vote Matters

Property owners in the Marina Bay neighborhood will pay higher annual assessments to maintain landscaping and lighting in their area for the 2011-2012 budget year. The council approved the increase with broad support in a 6-1 vote, with only Councilmember Bates dissenting. These special assessments appear on property tax bills and fund local maintenance services that only benefit Marina Bay residents. This was a routine budget adjustment for an existing maintenance district rather than a new tax or service.
