Topics getting the most attention in Culver City public meetings, ranked by how frequently they are discussed.
2 issues in taxes budget with critical priority
Public Finance Authority Lease Revenue Bonds
The city's first bond through its new finance authority will raise roughly $40 million to repay the Jubilee Village loan, fund housing, parks, tree canopy, sidewalks, and streets. Speakers pushed successfully for $3 million more for safe streets projects.
Structural revenue review
Revenues are up $6.6 million thanks to transfer tax and the new Measure CL sales tax, but the city is spending $8.3 million more than it takes in this year, drawing reserves down to $118.8 million. A Howard Jarvis ballot measure could also wipe out transfer tax revenue.
