Proposal GOAL: Increase limit to provide flexibility without sacrificing prudence or oversight • $975 million limit – slightly less than 25% of projected revenue total • Higher limit does not result in immediate action – Commission approval of all financings are maintained
Costs • RCTC must reimburse county • 2002 cost was $372,000 • Election costs are Measure A eligible • Private sector financed campaign still needed
Next Steps • Communicate ballot measure to Supervisors • Obtain vote from Supervisors - July 27 or at special meeting • Seek voter approval in November
