07/11/2011 To preserve funding for general city services such as YES libraries, parks, and public safety, shall an ordinance be approved increasing, over three years, the business license tax rates by $21 plus $15 per employee (with a similar increase for businesses not taxed on a per employee basis) annually adjusted thereafter based on the Consumer Price NO Index, with proceeds placed in the City's General Fund, subject to City's annual independent financial audit? This question requires the approval of a majority of those casting votes. 3. The complete text of the proposed ordinance is attached hereto as Attachment A, and is not to be printed in the voter pamphlet. The full text of the ordinance shall be made available to any voter on request. (Cal. Elections Code §§ 9233 and 9280) 4. The City Clerk is instructed to transmit the Measure to the City Attorney along with a request that an impartial analysis be prepared for inclusion in the Voters' Pamphlet materials.
