It is critically important to the residents and businesses located within the cities of Biggs and Gridley and the adjacent unincorporated area of Butte County (which is coterminous with the area within the boundaries of County Service Area ("CSA") 37) that a hospital within these communities be available to provide emergency room services; and 2. Orchard Hospital, which is the sole provider of critical emergency room facilities within these communities, faced closure of its emergency room in the absence of funding of the costs of emergency room services which are not otherwise offset by the revenues from operation of the emergency room (referred to herein as the "standby costs" provided by special property taxes adopted in 2006); and 3. Closure of Orchard Hospital's emergency room would constitute a significant detriment of and to the health, welfare and safety of the citizens residing within the area encompassed by CSA 37; and 4. The continued levy of a special tax within the area coterminous with the boundaries of CSA 37, and corresponding special taxes levied in the cities of Biggs and Gridley, is necessary to provide funding to maintain operation of Orchard Hospital's emergency room so as to provide these critical services within the southern portion of Butte County; and WHEREAS, the Board has also determined that it is in the best interest of the citizens within the unincorporated area of CSA 37 to seek voter approval, which will require approval by two-thirds of the voters voting there on, to renew the 2006. special property tax in order to be able to fund standby costs of providing emergency room services in a critical access hospital(Orchard Hospital) and has adopted Ordinance No.4116 to reenact a special property tax for this purpose, subject to voter approval; and WHEREAS, if approved by the voters, the special property tax for standby costs of providing emergency room services in a critical access hospital (Orchard Hospital)will be used solely for the purpose of covering the standby costs of providing those services within the boundaries of CSA 37; and WHEREAS, if this special property tax is re-approved by the voters,the County may exceed, by the amount of the revenue collected pursuant to the levy of the special property tax, the spending limit as previously established for the County in accordance with the provisions of Article XIII B of the California Constitution;and WHEREAS, said ordinance proposes, subject to approval by a two-thirds majority vote of the voters of the unincorporated area of CSA 37, that Article IIA of Butte County Code Chapter 21, entitled "Taxation," imposing a special property tax (special tax) in accordance with the provisions of Articles XIII A and XIII C of the California Constitution and Sections 23027, 50075, 50076, 50077 and 53722 et. seq. of the California Government Code, which special tax will be applicable in the unincorporated area of the County of Butte that is coterminous with the unincorporated area of the County of Butte within the boundaries of Service Area 37, be renewed for an additional term of ten years.
