Commissioner Comerchero confirmed that Director Nelson said if the replacement tax is approved by a 2/3 majority, the tax cannot increase without another election of the voters. Director Nelson confirmed this is correct. Commissioner Comerchero asked what would be the scenario if the replacement tax is not passed. Director Nelson said the outlook would not be positive for the City. If the replacement tax does not pass, it may mean that the City will have to close some facilities, reduce hours of operations at other facilities, reduce the level of maintenance at parks, close some parks (fence off), eliminate many recreation programs, eliminate special events such the 4th of July parade, Santa's Electric Light Parade, Annual Easter Egg Hunt, Annual Breakfast with Santa and Snow Frolic, etc. Director Nelson added that public safety may be impacted. Commissioner Comerchero commended staff on the verbiage in the ballot measure. He said he feels it is very important that the public be made aware that this is a replacement tax and will be at the same rate as the existing TCSD rates. Chairman Hertz asked if the Commission has any constraints with regards to participating in a campaign to promote Measure C. Director Nelson said the City Attorney would have to make the final determination on the Commissioners position with regards to this ballot measure.
