Marin County voters approved Measure A, a sales tax, to create a fund to support the and preservation of Marin County parks, open space preserves, and farmland. This 1/4 cent sales tax was estimated to generate ~$10,000,000/year; 5% was allocated to the Marin RCD for the purpose of assisting ranchers and farmers in enhancing agricultural and natural resource values on easement-protected properties. To date, ~75% of Marin RCD's allocation has directly matched construction funds, and ~25% covered administrative, permitting and design costs. This profile entry is to account for the 25% as the construction dollars are accounted in the project profiles it matched.
