The ballots prepared by Alameda Country do not contain the title and summary of Measure WW, the East Bay Regional Park District bond measure.

For your information, following is the correct title and summary of East Bay Regional Park District Measure WW as it should have appeared on all Alameda County ballots:

EXTEND EXISTING EAST BAY REGIONAL PARK DISTRICT BOND WITH NO INCREASE IN TAX RATE

To continue restoring urban creeks, protect wildlife, purchase/save open space, wetlands/shoreline, acquire/develop/improve local and regional parks, trails and recreational facilities, shall East Bay Regional Park District be authorized to issue up to $500 million in general obligation bonds, provided repayment projections, verified by independent auditors, demonstrate that property tax rates will not increase beyond present rates of $10 per year, per $100,000 of assessed valuation?

The Alameda County Registrar of Voters office has acknowledged the error and will be sending notices to Alameda County registered voters beginning on October 20, 2008. For more information from the County Registrar, please contact (510) 267-8683.
