January 4, 2016 March 7, 2016 May 2, 2016 July 5, 2016, Tuesday Oct. 3, 2016 Dec. 5, 2016 Schedule The San Francisco Bay Restoration Authority Safe, Clean Water, Pollution Prevention, Habitat Restoration, Flood Protection and Shoreline Access for the San Francisco Bay Protecting and Restoring the San Francisco Bay San Francisco Bay is a part of all our lives – whether we live along the Bay; work there; walk, jog, or visit parks along its shores; or simple appreciate it as we drive over a bridge. Over the last century, we have had a massive impact on the Bay with landfill and toxic pollution. If we want our children and grandchildren to inherit a clean and healthy San Francisco Bay – one that will be part of their lives the way it is part of ours – we need to act now to clean up and restore it. The San Francisco Bay Restoration Authority was created in 2008 to lead this effort to restore wildlife habitat, reduce pollution, protect shoreline communities from flooding, and increase trails and public access to San Francisco Bay. This work will help protect the Bay’s wildlife, provide recreational opportunities, and keep shoreline communities safe. Benefits of Bay Restoration Safe, Clean Water and Pollution Prevention Improve water quality by reducing pollution and removing trash Restore wetlands that provide natural filters and remove pollution Restore creeks where they flow into the Bay Fish, Bird and Wildlife Habitat Enhance shoreline parks, open space preserves and other public lands for expanded habitat Protect, restore and maintain wetlands to benefit wildlife including shorebirds, waterfowl and fish Natural Flood Protection Provide nature-based flood protection through wetland and habitat restoration Build and improve levees that are a necessary part of wetland restoration activities Shoreline Public Access and Recreation Construct new, repair existing and/or replace deteriorating public access trails and signs Provide environmental education about the health of the Bay Next Steps The Restoration Authority has proposed a $12/parcel/year tax for the June 2016 ballot that will generate $500 million for projects to restore thousands of acres of tidal marsh, making the Bay and its shoreline healthier for fish, birds, and other wildlife. The measure will appear on the ballot in all nine Bay Area counties. For more information contact Amy Hutzel at [email protected] or go to sfbayrestore.org.

To protect San Francisco Bay for future generations by reducing trash, pollution and harmful toxins, improving water quality, restoring habitat for fish, birds and wildlife, protecting communities from floods, and increasing shoreline public access, shall the San Francisco Bay Restoration Authority authorize a parcel tax of $12 per year, raising approximately $25 million annually for twenty years with independent citizen oversight, audits, and all funds staying local? THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY CLEAN WATER, POLLUTION PREVENTION AND HABITAT RESTORATION MEASURE The people of the San Francisco Bay Restoration Authority do ordain as follows: Section 1. Findings and Purpose. Over the last century, landfill and toxic pollution have had a massive impact on San Francisco Bay (sometimes referred to herein as the “Bay”). It is not too late to reverse this impact and restore the Bay for future generations. To meet that objective, in 2008, state law established the San Francisco Bay Restoration Authority (the “Authority”), to raise and allocate resources for the restoration, enhancement, protection, and enjoyment of wetlands and wildlife habitats in the San Francisco Bay and along its shoreline. The purpose of the San Francisco Bay Clean Water, Pollution Prevention and Habitat Restoration Measure (the “Measure”) is to protect and restore San Francisco Bay to benefit future generations by reducing trash, pollution, and harmful toxins, improving water quality, restoring habitat for fish, birds, and wildlife, protecting communities from flood and increasing shoreline public access and recreational areas. Section 2. Funding of San Francisco Bay Clean Water, Pollution Prevention and Habitat Restoration Expenditure Plan. Subject to voter approval, the Authority hereby establishes a special parcel tax (the “Special Tax”) the proceeds of which shall be used solely for the purpose of supporting the programs and priorities and other purposes set forth in this Measure. The Special Tax shall be levied at a rate of twelve dollars ($12) per parcel within the jurisdiction of the Authority, which consists of the Counties of Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Solano and Sonoma and the City and County of San Francisco (such nine counties, collectively, the “San Francisco Bay Area”). The Special Tax shall be levied annually for a total of twenty (20) years, commencing July 1, 2017 and ending June 30, 2037. The Special Tax shall be levied on each parcel of taxable property within the San Francisco Bay Area, and shall be collected by the tax collectors of each county (including the City and County of San Francisco) in the San Francisco Bay Area (the “Tax Collectors”) at the same time as, and along with, and will be subject to the same penalties as general, ad valorem taxes collected by MEASURE AA TEXT 2 the Tax Collectors. The Special Tax and any penalty shall bear interest at the same rate as the rate for unpaid ad valorem property taxes until paid. Any Special Tax levied shall become a lien upon the properties against which taxes are assessed and collectible as herein provided. The Special Tax shall appear as a separate item on the tax bill. All property that is otherwise exempt from ad valorem property taxes in any year shall also be exempt from the Special Tax in such year. The Authority shall adopt procedures that set forth any clarifications and exemptions to address unique circumstances and any procedure for claimants seeking an exemption, refund, reduction or recomputation of the Special Tax.
