<br />MITIGATION
<br />
<br />Economic
<br />
<br />a. Tax base, bonded indebtedness: The purchase of
<br />agricultural land and its water rights by a city may remove
<br />it from the tax base, reducing local property tax revenues.
<br />In addition, a water transfer that curtails existing
<br />agricultural (or industrial) production will also cut into
<br />many other local business, Which in turn reduces property
<br />values, property taxes, and sales taxes available to finance
<br />county, school and special district services.
