TAXES
13.A. Request of Mayor Himmelrich, Mayor Pro Tem McCowan and
Councilmember de la Torre that the City Council oppose the

municipalities to administer local taxes and fees and limit the ability to
bring forward citizen initiatives. Should the initiative garner enough
signatures to be placed on the November 2022 ballot, a letter of
opposition from the City would be sent to the California Attorney
General registering the Council’s Official opposition, was presented.
Member of the public Denise Barton, spoke on the recommended action.
Considerable discussion ensued on topics including, but not limited to other
groups opposing the measure, messaging, and how the measure would

increase funding for arts and music education programs in California
