City Clerk Poyzer presented Resolution No. 5300, a resolution of the City
Council of the City of Redlands calling and giving notice of the holding of a
special municipal election on November 5, 1996. She estimated the cost would
be $9,200.00 per measure; an election held on March 4, 1997, would cost
approximately $72,000.00. Councilmembers discussed the charge for "free
passes" and the impact Ordinance No. 2328 could have on the Krikorian
Theatre project. City Attorney McHugh explained the votes needed: a special
tax requires a two-thirds majority vote of the people with a simple majority of
the Councilmembers voting to place the measure on the ballot and a general tax
requires a simple majority vote of the people but a four-fifths vote of the City
Council. Councilmember Larson moved to place Ordinance No. 2327 (utility
users' tax) on the March 1997 ballot. The motion was reluctantly seconded by
Councilmember Cunningham and carried by AYE votes of all present.
Councilmember Gilbreath moved to place Ordinance No. 2328 (admissions tax)
on the November 1996 ballot. Motion seconded by Councilmember Banda and
carried by AYE votes of all present. Following brief discussion,
Councilmember Larson moved to table discussion on Ordinance No. 2329
(validating and approving the current utility users' tax). Motion seconded by
Councilmember Gilbreath and carried by AYE votes of all present.
Councilmember Gilbreath moved to place Ordinance No. 2330 (landscaping
and lighting assessment districts) on the November 1996 ballot. Motion.
seconded by Councilmember Banda and carried by AYE votes of all present.
Funds-- Resolution No. 5300 - November 5 1996 Election - Councilmember
Banda moved to adopt Resolution No. 5300, a resolution of the City Council of
the City of Redlands, California, calling and giving notice of the holding of a
special municipal election for the submission to the qualified voters proposed
Ordinances No. 2328 (admissions tax) and No. 2330 (landscaping and lighting
assessment districts) and requesting the Board of Supervisors of the County of
San Bernardino to consolidate said election with the election to be held on
Tuesday, November 5, 1996, and further to approve an additional appropriation
to cover the cost of said election. Motion seconded by Councilmember Larson
and carried by AYE votes of all present.
