San Marino Adopts Zone Based Police Fire Assessment
At a Monday workshop the San Marino City Council approved a lot size based formula for the police and fire assessment to appear on the June ballot. Zones I through VII are set by lot size, with Zone VII at 9,000 square feet and Zone I at 22,500 square feet plus. The plan frontloads a base rate of 195 for Zone VII and scales up for larger zones, with credits for recent home buyers and potential 1976 or 1983 buyer credits. The council seeks equity across residents while preserving city services, and aims to avoid a ballot defeat by offering a flat rate with zone based variances for fire protection. Community members urged cuts elsewhere, but council members argued for maintaining essential staff.
