June 2000
To all interested parties:
Voting is essential to invigorating California’s citizenry and integrating citizens into the public decision-making process—it’s the ability to use our voices to communicate our individual opinion and makethings happen. It is this powerful, yet fundamental, tool that invariably will dictate how we invest ourprecious public resources to help sustain the State’s economic and social strength well into the 21st
century.
Therefore, I am pleased to present this report, which summarizes the results of bond and taxmeasures submitted to voters at the March 2000 Primary Election. This is the twelfth in a series ofreports on statewide elections in California prepared by the California Debt and Investment AdvisoryCommission (CDIAC).
As evidenced by this report, Californians are more than willing to support prudent public expenditures.For example, of the 64 bond and tax-related measures tracked by the Commission, 35 (55 percent)passed and 29 (45 percent) failed. Four of five state general obligation (G.O.) bond proposals (80percent) and 15 of 25 local G.O. bond proposals (60 percent) were approved. Support for special taxmeasures, designed to fund public services such as senior programs, libraries, police, andemergency medical services, was lower, with only 9 of 20 passing (45 percent).
These Primary Election results are notable for three reasons:
• All but one (57 of 58) of the local bond and tax-related measures (98 percent) would havesucceeded under a 50 percent majority approval standard.
• Assuming a 55 percent approval requirement, as currently discussed by proponents ofProposition 26, all 18 local G.O. school bond proposals would have passed (only 12 of the 18, or67 percent, passed with the two-thirds approval currently required).
• Voters approved $4.5 million in state general obligation bonds. The previous Primary Election hadno state G.O. bond measures on the ballot.
In an effort to make this report a useful tool, it includes a narrative on the results of the statewideelection results, as well as data on the individual tax and bond ballot measures themselves. TheCommission would like to recognize the assistance of the elections departments of the 58 countyclerks’ offices in preparing this report.
Sincerely,
Philip AngelidesState Treasurer and Chairman

STATE AND LOCAL BOND AND TAX BALLOT MEASURES
Results of March 2000 Primary Election
I. INTRODUCTION
This report presents the results of state and local bond and tax ballot measuresthat appeared on ballots in the March 7, 2000 Primary Election in California. Thedata used to develop the report was received from the California Secretary ofState’s office and the 58 county clerks’ election departments. The CaliforniaDebt and Investment Advisory Commission (CDIAC) has reported on statewideelections since 1986 and publishes complete statistics on bond and taxmeasures after each election. This is the twelfth report CDIAC has publishedsummarizing bond and tax elections.
Primary Election Results
CDIAC tracked 64 bond and tax measures in the March Primary Election. Unlikethe previous primary and general elections in 1998 (which combined includedonly one state bond and zero state tax measures), the 2000 Primary Election’sstatewide ballot included five bond measures and two tax-related measures(though neither sought to raise taxes directly). The total number of measures inthis election was down from the 1998 Primary Election, when 96 total measureswere reported to CDIAC. The overall passage rate of 55 percent in the 2000Primary Election is similar to the 1998 Primary Election, which had a 52 percentapproval rate. The results of the March Primary Election are summarized inTable 1.

Fifteen of the 25 local general obligation bond (G.O.) issues were successfulunder the existing two-thirds supermajority vote requirement. An overwhelmingnumber of these local general obligation bond measures (12, or 80 percent) wereeducation proposals, to fund K-12 facilities. It is noteworthy that, if the voterequirement had been a simple majority (or 55 percent approval as currentlybeing discussed by the proponents of Proposition 26), every proposed localgeneral obligation bond measure would have passed, including an additional sixK-12 education facility measures. Moreover, under the supermajority voterequirement, only nine of the 20 proposed local special tax measures passed.However, if the voter requirement had been a simple majority, all but one of thespecial tax measures would have been successful.
II. SUMMARY OF STATE AND LOCAL MEASURES BY PURPOSE
In Table 2, the results of the 64 bond and tax measures are classified by thefollowing five purposes: education, capital improvement, life support, generalgovernment, and miscellaneous. Chart 1 and Chart 2 provide graphic portrayalsof these measures, by purpose. A discussion of each category follows.

A. Education
There were 21 education issues presented to voters in the March election,accounting for nearly one-third of all measures offered. Overall, 13 of the 21education measures were approved, yielding an approval rate of 62 percent.This is slightly higher than the 1998 education-related approval rate of 59percent.
Nineteen of the 21 education measures (90 percent) were for K-12 education;two were for community college facilities. Thirteen of the 19 K-12 educationmeasures were approved. The 68 percent passing rate for K-12 measures isslightly higher than the 1998 rate of 62 percent, when 21 of 34 measurespassed.
Eighteen of the 19 K-12 education measures were for general obligationbonds; the remaining one was an improvement bond measure in GonzalesUnified School District of Monterey County, which passed. K-12 G.O. bondamounts ranged from $3.3 million for Lassen Unified High School District ofLassen County (which failed, receiving 62 percent of the vote) to $303 millionfor Oakland Unified School District in Alameda County (which passed by awide margin, receiving 85 percent approval).
Neither of the two G.O. bond measures for community college facilitiespassed. A $215 million bond measure for Los Rios Community CollegeDistrict of Sacramento, EL Dorado, Placer, Solano, and Yolo counties wasdefeated by 1.4 percentage points. Although it won over 70 percent of thevote in Yolo County, the Los Rios measure failed to receive enough votes inthe district’s other four counties to achieve victory. The other community

college measure, a $49 million bond for College of the Sequoias in Fresno,Kings, and Tulare counties, fell short of approval by only one percentagepoint; however, this one did not gain the requisite support in any of theremaining three counties.
B. Capital Improvements and Public Works
Seven of twelve measures (58 percent) for capital improvement and publicworks passed, which is up significantly from 1998 when 11 of 25 suchmeasures (or 44 percent ) were approved. Successful measures included:
• A special tax for solid waste recovery in the City of Piedmont (AlamedaCounty);
• Two measures for multiple capital improvements and public works inOrange County and the City of Woodland (Yolo County);
• An advisory vote in the Lake Shastine Community Services District inSiskiyou County for water supply storage.
Among the defeated measures, voters in Somona County rejected atemporary sales tax increase to widen U.S. Highway 101 to relieve trafficcongestion. The measure received just under 60 percent of the vote. Anadditional Sonoma County measure to raise the sales tax (to fund varioustransportation projects) also failed to garner the requisite two-thirds majority.Elsewhere, voters of the City of Pleasanton (Alameda County) rejected a $50million bond measure to acquire local land owned by the City of SanFrancisco to be used for community facilities and open space.
C. Life Support
Of the 15 issues to provide, increase or enhance policy fire or emergencymedical services, seven were approved. This 47 percent approval rate for lifesupport measures represents a healthy increase from the 38 percentwitnessed in the 1998 Primary Election, when five of 13 measures passed.Voters approved four of seven fire protection measures, or 57 percent, and 3of 6 emergency medical service measures. Successful measures included:
• A special tax for fire protection in the Lassen Fire Protection District ofLassen County;
• Three special taxes to fund emergency medical services in variousMonterey County local agencies;
• A special tax for fire protection in San Mateo County.

Of the eight life support measures which failed to capture the two-thirdssupermajority needed for passage, six still received over 50 percent of thevote. Of those which received a majority, four received over 60 percentapproval, and one came within approximately one percentage point of two-thirds approval. That was a special tax for fire protection in the AmericanRiver Fire Protection District of Sacramento County.
D. General Government
One of the seven measures for general government purposes was approved.That one measure was a general tax for municipal services in the City ofPiedmont (Alameda County). The 17 percent passing rate was sharply lowerthan the 1998 Primary Election approval rate of 57 percent, when eight of 14measures general government passed.
E. Miscellaneous Projects
Included in this category are nine measures for libraries, veterans’ facilities,recreation projects, and health care facilities. Most noteworthy, voters in SanFrancisco approved two general obligation bond proposals, one for park andrecreation facilities and the other for capital outlay projects at the CaliforniaAcademy of Sciences.
III. SUMMARY OF STATE AND LOCAL MEASURES BY TYPE
As shown in Chart 3 and Chart 4, state and local measures are divided into fourcategories: general obligation bonds, general tax, special tax, and othermeasures. Table 3 summarizes the results of the measures by type.

A. Bonds
1. State of California General Obligation Bonds
Four of five of the State of California’s general obligation bond measureswere approved. The passage of these G.O. bond measures represents adeparture from much of the previous decade, when voters were morereluctant to authorize additional general obligation debt. Below is asummary of the statewide general obligation bond measures.
• Proposition 12. This measure provides $2.1 billion dollars to protectland around lakes, rivers and streams, and the coast, and to buildneighborhood parks. The largest bond on the ballot, voters approvedthe measure by a 63 to 37 percent margin; the bond gained majorityapproval in every county in Southern California and the San FranciscoBay Area. Opposition to the measure came primarily from the rural,mountainous counties surrounding the Central Valley. Results from theCentral Valley itself were mixed.
• Proposition 13. This is a $2.0 billion clean-water and flood protectionbond proposal. California voters approved the measure by a 65 to 35percent margin. Vote totals on a county basis resemble the results forProposition 12; that is, the measure received majority support fromSouthern California, the San Francisco Bay Area, and the CentralValley, and generally was defeated elsewhere in the State.
• Proposition 14. This bond authorizes $350 million to provide fundsfor the construction and renovation of public library facilities. It givespriority for funding to “joint use” facilities (e.g. libraries that serve boththe community and a particular school district). This bond wasapproved by a 59 to 41 percent margin, with the regional patternmirroring that of Proposition 12.
• Proposition 15. Voters rejected this measure by a 54 to 46 percentmargin; it was the only statewide bond proposal that failed to pass.Proposition 15 would have allowed the State to sell $220 million inbonds for construction and renovation of laboratories for collecting,analyzing and interpreting crime scene evidence. The measurereceived majorities only in Los Angeles County and six San FranciscoBay Area counties.
• Proposition 16. This measure provides $50 million to pay the State’sshare of construction costs for new or existing veterans’ homes.Voters supported the measure by a 62 to 38 percent margin, as itreceived majority support in all 58 counties.

1. Local General Obligation Bonds
Local agencies’ general obligation bonds generally fared well, as 15 of25 proposals were approved. This 60 percent passing rate for localG.O. bonds is slightly lower than the 1998 Primary Election rate of 62percent, but much higher than the figures for several elections earlierin the decade. The overwhelming majority of G.O. bonds up forapproval (18, or 72 percent of the total) were earmarked for K-12educational facility improvements, with the remaining seven measuresdesignated for other purposes.
The 15 local G.O. bond measures approved totaled $964 million.Twelve of these measures ($754 million) were for K-12 schoolfacilities. The remaining three included a pair of measures in SanFrancisco for park and recreation facilities and improvements to theCalifornia Academy of Sciences ($87 million and $110 million,respectively), and an issue for improvements to San Luis ObispoCounty’s storm-drain facilities ($13 million).
The remaining 10 G.O. bond measures, totaling $525 million, failed tomuster the two-thirds supermajority needed. However, all 10measures received over 50 percent of the vote. Several issues thatcame close to passage were the Cajon Valley Unified School District,Manteca Unified School District, and Santa Maria Unified High SchoolDistrict bonds, which garnered 65.9, 65.7, and 65.5 percent approvalrates, respectively. In addition, both community college districtmeasures (Los Rios and College of the Sequoias) failed even thoughthey received over 65 percent approval.
The details of the local general obligation bond measures can be foundin Table A-1 on page A-1.
B. Tax Measures
2. State Tax-Related Measures
Voters rejected both measures on the statewide ballot that would havehad tax implications; however, neither measure would have raised taxesdirectly.
• Proposition 26. This measure would have amended the stateconstitution to lower the requirement for approving local school bondsfrom a two-thirds majority to a simple majority—50 percent plus onevote. The measure was defeated by a 51 to 49 percent margin. Themeasure received majority support from San Francisco Bay Area
9
counties, but was rejected by nearly every remaining county in theState.
• Proposition 28. This measure would have repealed Proposition 10, aNovember 1998 initiative that imposed a 50 cents-per-pack cigarettetax to fund early child-development programs. Voters rejected themeasure by a 72 to 28 percent margin, with the measure defeated inall 58 counties.
3. Local Tax Measures
Twenty-five of the 57 local bond and tax measures on the ballot, or 44percent, were local tax measures. This number is significantly lower thanthe 55 local tax measures which appeared in the 1998 Primary Election,and also is lower as a percentage of all measures (44 percent in 2000versus 57 percent in 1998). Eleven of the 25 local tax measures in the2000 Primary Election passed, a 44 percent approval rate, which isidentical to the 1998 rate when 24 of 55 passed. Detail tables for local taxmeasures begin on page A-3.
Support for local special tax measures was mixed with 9 of 20 gainingapproval. While the 45 percent passage rate was slightly higher than the1998 Primary Election rate of 39 percent (when 16 of 41 passed), it wassignificantly higher than the 1996 rate of 22 percent, when 5 of 22 wereapproved. Special taxes represented the overwhelming number of localtax measures submitted to the voters, 20 of 25 (or 80 percent), similar tothe 1998 primary when 75 percent of the local tax measures were specialtaxes.
Special tax measures for specific purposes failed to show a discernablepattern by purpose. For instance, three of six special tax measures for fireprotection were approved; likewise, three of six measures for emergencymedical services also passed. A pair of transportation-related special taxmeasures (both in Sonoma County) failed, as did the only proposal for jailconstruction. However, single measures for water storage and solid wasterecovery passed.
Voters approved two of five general tax measures for general governmentpurposes, a lower approval rate than in 1998 when eight of 14 (57percent) passed. Unlike previous elections, when proposals to increasethe utility users tax generally were successful, the only attempt to increasethe utility users tax in the March Primary failed by an overwhelmingmargin. The two successful general tax measures were in AlamedaCounty and Siskiyou County.
