CityCouncil | 2014-07-15 | 11 | Councilmember Tam stated the clause is a power the Council already has; striking the clause does not remove Council's authority to take action; the ordinance lets the community know the Council's intent and priority; having the Fiscal Responsibility Ordinance is appropriate and clear. Mayor Gilmore stated Section a) is a tax which would indicate how the citizen's feel about paying for the open space and the priority; that she made the argument that the people would be voting to pay for the property a second time because they have already been taxed under Measure WW; if there is a shortfall, voting to tax themselves again to pay for the property would be the ultimate will of the people.
