Exotic species and their effect on Pima County's aquatic environments have become a priority issue for those involved with managing aquatic ecosystems in eastern Pima County. Invasion of exotic aquatic species presents a major challenge when preserving and restoring native aquatic species in the region.
Reviews the Pima County tax base since 1977 and concludes in part that the tax base has less capacity to produce revenue than it did twenty three years ago. When population growth is factored into the assessment, the County is actually operating on a smaller revenue base than it was two decades ago.
Report is a review and compilation of existing data on water quality requirements of eight aquatic species. By identifying the water quality requirements of priority vulnerable species of concern, and assessing the quality of water that serves or might serve as potential habitat, we begin to understand which sources will support priority aquatic species identified by the SDCP.
This study by DR. Philip Rosen stands as one of the most impressive, given the scope of the author's knowledge, and it is one of the most ingenious, given the proposed concepts for restoration and protection of native fish and frogs within the urban Tucson Basin.
This memorandum is intended to provide an indication of why unregulated development offers so little benefit to the tax base by describing, briefly, the fiscal tax base impact of the unregulated lot split issue at the community and watershed level.
During the planning process for the SDCP, concerns were raised regarding loss of property tax revenue as well as adverse tax base impacts of Pima County purchasing parcels for open space. This report assesses impacts in two ways. First, the net assessed values of the open space parcels before purchase are compared to the sum of the net assessed values of all parcels in Pima County and in each applicable school district. Second, the property taxes assessed by Pima County and applicable school districts on each open space parcel before purchase is compared to the sum of the property taxes assessed on all parcels within Pima County and applicable school districts.
