WHEREAS, at its June 7, 2010 meeting, the City Council adopted a budget for FY <br />2010-11 that recognized the need for additional revenue to maintain and preserve the level of <br />services desired by residents of the City; and <br />WHEREAS, at its July 19, 2010 meeting, the Council considered calling a special <br />election to seek voter approval of a proposed general transactions and use tax (or "sales tax"), as <br />authorized by Revenue and Taxation Code section 7285.9; and <br />WHEREAS, at that meeting, the City Council concluded that all of the information <br />presented indicated that, to obtain the revenue necessary to maintain and preserve service levels, <br />the Council should call an election to ask the voters of the City to approve a 7-year local <br />transactions and use tax, the revenue from which could be used to support general municipal <br />services; and <br />WHEREAS, on the basis of the foregoing, the City Council determined that it was <br />appropriate to place a measure regarding a general transactions and use (sales) tax before the <br />voters at the November 2, 2010 general election; and <br />WHEREAS, the tax to be submitted to the voters, if approved, would be imposed on the <br />sale of tangible personal property and the storage, use, or other consumption of such property. <br />The tax rate would be one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) (a quarter cent for each dollar) of the <br />sales price of the property. The tax revenue would be collected by the State Board of <br />Equalization and remitted to the City. The tax would be in effect for 7 years, and would then <br />expire automatically, unless extended by the voters. The tax shall be approved if the measure <br />receives at least a simple majority of affirmative votes; and <br />WHEREAS, the San Leandro City Council is authorized by California Elections Code <br />Section 9222 to place measures before the voters; and <br />WHEREAS, Elections Code Sections 9281 through 9287 set forth the procedures for <br />arguments in favor of and in opposition to any City measure and for rebuttal arguments; and <br />WHEREAS, it is desirable that the election be consolidated with the statewide election <br />to be held on the same date and that within the City, the precincts, polling places and election <br />officers of the two elections be the same, and that the county election department of the County <br />of Alameda canvass the returns of the General Election and that the election be held in all <br />respects as if there were only one election; and <br />WHEREAS, based on all of the information presented at the July 19, 2010 meeting, both <br />written and oral, including the staff reports, minutes, and other relevant materials, the City <br />Council finds that under CEQA Guidelines 15060(c)(2) and 15378, subdivisions (2) and (4) of <br />subdivision (b), this tax does not constitute a project under CEQA and therefore review under <br />CEQA is not required. <br />NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of San Leandro does RESOLVE as <br />follows: <br />2 <br />
