At first this tiger would not look in my direction...

The Fresno County Zoo Authority is the public agency responsible for the administration of Measure Z, the unique transactions and use tax (sales tax) which is collected throughout Fresno County for the support of the Chaffee Zoo in the City of Fresno. The sales tax, at the rate of 0.1%, is collected by retailers and sent to the State Board of Equalization (BOE). The BOE then deducts its administrative fee and forwards the remaining revenue
(about $10 million per year)
to the Zoo Authority.
The Zoo Authority may spend up to 2% of the revenue for its own administrative expenses. Of the remaining 98%, at least 2/3 must be spent on capital improvement projects at the Zoo, and up to 1/3 may be spent on operations and maintenance at the Zoo.
