Measure W City Position: Support |
Measure W authorizes the Los Angeles County Flood Control District to levy a parcel tax within the District, which encompasses cities and incorporated areas of Los Angeles County at the rate of $0.025 (2.5 cents) per square foot of impermeable area such as buildings, driveways, concrete and other hardscaped areas. The parcel tax will be levied beginning Fiscal Year 2019-20 and will continue indefinitely and is estimated to generate approximately $300 million annually. Proceeds from the Tax shall be used to fund projects and programs consistent with the expenditure plan as stated in the related ordinance, which include increasing stormwater capture and reducing urban runoff pollution which may increase water supply and improve water quality. |
