Candidates for these offices may have the same political party preference. Additionally, write-in candidates are no longer allowed for these contests at the General Election.

    IMPARTIAL ANALYSIS BY COUNTY COUNSELMEASURE D

    You are asked to vote upon a tax to be imposed and levied annuallyfor ten years upon secured real property within the Lone Pine FireProtection District (hereinafter "District"). The District has adoptedthe "Lone Pine Fire Protection District Special Emergency ResponseServices Tax Ordinance" proposing a special non ad valoremproperty tax for the purpose of funding continued and improvedemergency response services within the District. The revenues willnot be used for any other purposes. The California Constitution andstate statutes provide that the tax proposed by the District must beapproved by the voters of the District before it is imposed and levied.If this measure is approved, a special tax would be imposed andlevied each fiscal year beginning July 15, 2015 and ending June30, 2025, upon each secured parcel of taxable real property locatedwithin the District's boundaries, except property belonging to federalor state agencies.

    Inyo County CounselDated: August 11, 2014 s/Margaret Kemp-Williams

    ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF MEASURE D

    A yes vote on this issue will allow the Lone Pine Fire Departmentto keep providing Ambulance Service to Area IV of the County oflnyo. A no vote will cause ambulance service to stop on January1, 2015.While $100.00 per year may seem a lot, it really is a smallamount to pay if your life or the life of someone you love couldend, because you voted no. These funds will only go to provideambulance service and if for some reason the Lone Pine FireDepartment cannot provide the service the tax will end, it cannotbe transferred to someone else.While the Lone Pine Fire District was established in 1964, it hasonly been since 1994 that we have provided ambulance service.As a result of this we do not receive any tax money for theambulance service and it needs to cover it's own expenses.If this measure does not receive a 2/3 vote, it would be twoyears before the next general election and by that time it will bevery hard to bring the service back.This will be the first time that the Fire Department has gone tothe voter asking for any type of tax increase and we know thatyou are there for us, just as we are here for you.

    s/ Le Roy Kritz, Fire Chief

    NO ARGUMENT AGAINST THIS MEASUREWAS SUBMITTED.
