§ 16.15. Amendment of Ordinance.

A.

Except for amendments that would increase the Special Parcel Tax rate, impose the Special Parcel Tax on exempt properties, reduce the maximum available credit in the program, change the purpose and use of the Special Parcel Tax, violate State law or conflict with the purposes of this ordinance, the Board is hereby authorized to amend this ordinance as may be convenient or necessary to comply with the intent of this ordinance or as otherwise required by law, without submitting the amendment to the voters for approval.

B.

After a period of no longer than thirty (30) years, the Board shall evaluate the needs of the SCW Program and make an affirmative determination that the Special Parcel Tax is needed to build additional Projects to achieve Water Quality Benefits and other benefits in accordance with the goals of the SCW Program. Should the Board determine that no additional Projects are needed, the Special Parcel Tax will be reduced accordingly, to reflect a transition from funding new Projects to funding operation, maintenance and replacement of Projects that were constructed with SCW Program funds during the previous thirty (30) years.
