Preliminary results show that voters in the Yucca Valley Airport District have passed Measure Z. Measure Z will impose a special tax only on the 44 voters who own property that abuts the Yucca Valley airport. The tax of two cents per square foot will provide funds to maintain and operate the airport, as required by the Local Agency Formation Commission. In order to pass, two-thirds of the votes cast must be in favor of the special tax. As of 8 p.m. Tuesday, 27 ballots have been received, and 24 were in favor of the special tax. The final results are expected to be announced at 4 p.m. today.
