Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:

On May 17, 2022, the Board of Supervisors directed county staff to begin preparation of a possible sales tax ordinance and to return for further direction.                       

 

Summary of Request

The sales tax imposed by Measure B will soon be reduced from one-half cent (0.5%) to one-eighth cent (0.125%) by the terms of Ordinance No. 4387.  On May 17, 2022, the Board of Supervisors directed staff to begin work on the structure of a possible ordinance and to return to the Board for further direction.

 

At this time, County Counsel is seeking direction on several key decision points regarding the potential ordinance.  Once that is received, a proposed ordinance can be drafted and agenized for an introduction and first reading.

 

Alternative Action/Motion:

Direct staff to cease work on possible sales tax.
