A parcel tax measure was on the ballot for Many Oaks Lane Service Area (County Service Area No. 9) voters in El Dorado County, California, on May 5, 2015. Final, official election results showed that just two more "yes" votes would have approved Measure A. Ultimately, the measure was defeated.

If approved, Measure A would have authorized the district to impose a parcel tax of $250 per parcel for each unit of property, whether improved or unimproved, in the district. The proposed tax was designed as a special tax, with revenue dedicated solely to road improvement, maintenance services and drainage facility maintenance. It would have replaced the then current parcel tax levy.[1]

There were 177 registered voters in the district.

A two-thirds (66.67%) vote was required for the approval of this measure.
