help from the Federal level if we had that as a department or as a division at the <br />County level. <br />The last thing that I would like to request is that we add a section or a sub -section to <br />the Charter which deals with property taxes, where we have itemized tax bills. I will <br />find a prototype for this. I know there's one in Laguna Hills, California and Barbara <br />Arthur's told me she has another one in her old records where you would have itemized <br />as a property taxpayer, as a property owner - your tax bill would show what you are <br />paying for fire, police, parks, roads, solid waste and bond reimbursement. That would <br />enable those of us who are in the lesser served districts to know what the discrepancy <br />is and to measure our payment against what it would be in the district that has perhaps, <br />better service or less service. Many, many, many counties do this so that you know <br />what you're paying out of your tax bill for fire, police, parks, roads, solid waste and <br />bond reimbursement. Thank you. <br />HIGASHI: Do we have any questions? So we look forward to your assistance in <br />providing us some of the models? <br />ASTE: Yes. <br />HIGASHI: Thank you. <br />• IRVINE: Ginny, I did have one question. You wanted the tax bill itemized, not just <br />by those categories, but by district? <br />ASTE: No, it's the percentage you're paying. I'm not quite sure yet how that <br />works but I want a way that when you get a chunk of money that you're supposed to <br />pay the County, I want a way that you can tell, if you live in the Puna District, <br />approximately - you'd have to go down and find out what the total budget is for the <br />Department, for fire and so forth, but a way that you could begin to break it down. You <br />know that little pie chart they put out every year? <br />IRVINE: Yes. <br />ASTE: It would be like that except that it would be on your tax bill and then you <br />could use that to find out what the comparison is for your district against other districts. <br />IRVINE: Okay, so you'd want it broken down by district as well? <br />ASTE: I know you're asking me that and I can't really answer right now. <br />IRVINE: Okay. <br />
