Top issues during term (7)(General)
Homelessness Response & Interim Housing Operations
Saves the city approximately $1.7 million annually in operating subsidies.
Zoning Amendment along Pacific Coast Highway
None directly to the city general fund.
Opposition to County Sales Tax Measure and AB 1768
County-wide tax increase from 10.25% to 10.75% affecting local consumers and retail activity.
rent stabilization
Mobile home park residents will save money by avoiding sudden, massive rent spikes, while park owners might see their profit growth limited.
League of California Cities membership
The city will save money on membership dues, but might lose out on collective bargaining power for state-level issues.
business license dispute
This means fewer legal headaches and potentially more revenue for the flight school, which is good news for their bottom line.
airport noise restrictions
These new rules could mean higher costs for pilots and potentially affect airport revenue if flights are significantly reduced.
