In 2000-01, development activities resulting from the Monterey Park Marketplace will increase collections considerably. The fee structure provides incentive toward waste reduction, as haulers pay fees only for waste that is landfilled. In April of 1998, the Monterey Park voters approved an annual parcel tax to pay for Library improvements, expansion of operating hours, and additional books and supplies. The Library Tax is earmarked to supplement the City's General Fund support to the Library. The Tax, paid by the taxpayer as part of her property tax bill, will be remitted to us on the same schedule as property tax proceeds.
Grant proceeds greatly assist in local government service delivery.
