What Will MRCA do with our HH taxes?

WHAT IS MEASURE HH ABOUT?

We’ll only see it on our November 3, 2020 ballot if you live in the Santa Monica Mountains.

Most of us have heard of MRCA (Santa Monica Mountains Conservation and Recreation)…. they are the ranger team who monitor our hillsides; protects wildlife and takes possession of patches of real estate for our benefit and the benefit of the local habitat.

VOTE YES ON HH---

Why?

HERE IS WHAT THEY ARE ASKING FOR...

HH will fund conservation and fire prevention efforts by the Mountains Recreation and Conservation Authority (MRCA) in the eastern Santa Monica Mountains.

MRCA is the foremost conservationist agency in the Santa Monica Mountains, and safeguards the well-being and quality of life for all hillside residents. Funding for organizations like the MRCA is vital if we want to preserve native species and protect our local environment. Funds for measure HH will:

• Protect and expand wildlife corridors to ensure animals and wildlife can survive
• Acquire and protect critical open space habitat
• Protect against wildfires in our hillside communities
• Improve local fire prevention services, including new year-round brush clearing along Mulholland Drive
• Provide additional park ranger patrols on high fire risk days
• Improve fire safety around Mulholland Scenic Overlooks with additional irrigation and green space

Protect and improve local water quality in streams and reservoirs

Measure HH on the 2020 ballot calls for a $68/per parcel/year for 10 years) In 2012 we approved $24 for 10 years. However, 2020’s new Measure HH provides the opportunity to opt out for those homeowners of low income on whom the additional annual tax imposes a burden.

THE MONEY GOES DIRECTLY TO THEM , AND IS NOT PASSED THROUGH ANY AGENCY...meaning there are no administration fees, the money all goes to the CAUSE.
