BP to let the people decide

Baldwin Park property owners are going to get to vote next year on whether they would be willing to pay about $8 annually per parcel to fund service with the San Gabriel Valley Mosquito and Vector Control District.

A contract was signed this month between the city and the district to provide services for 10 months for $102,000, according to city staff reports.

But the city has also committed to completing a ballot measure before the contract ends on June 30, in hopes of becoming a district member city.

The cost to conduct the ballot measure is estimated at $30,000.

If approved, the assessment tax would be tacked onto Los Angeles County property tax rolls.
