Official plain English statement

Each year, the Governing Board of the Lopez Solid Waste Disposal District has proposed a balanced budget that includes revenue from tipping fees based upon weight or volume, and tax revenue to be paid for with a one-year property tax levy. For the year 2027, the amount of the tax revenue that is budgeted is $210,000. The Governing Board has adopted Resolution No.2026-02 calling for an election to approve the one-year property tax measure to generate $210,000. If adopted, the property tax rate for the Solid Waste District would be an amount of approximately $0.091 per $1,000 of assessed value for taxes imposed for the year 2027. The Lopez Solid Waste Disposal District must use the revenue raised for district operations and capital expenses. A "yes" vote is a vote to approve the proposal; a "no" vote is a vote against the proposal. A sixty percent majority is needed to pass this measure.
