• Specific Comments (See numbers on text). <br /> 1. This first sentence is unclear and unnecessary. The City has the powers <br /> described and its class is set by law. <br /> 2. The "resolution" is the annual tax resolution sent to the County in the <br /> manner prescribed by law. It should say "The City's annual resolution to <br /> levy ad valorem taxes ..." <br /> 3. Suppose the CPI + 3% is 10%. I assume the limit would still be 6%. This <br /> could be crippling to the City in inflationary times. <br /> 4. I assume "Said index"refers back to the CPI. But is the 6%index based on <br /> the same CPI or a 12 month average? This should be clarified (unless I'm <br /> reading it incorrectly). <br /> 5. "Within the City"is superfluous. <br /> 6. When is notice given? Two days? Two weeks? <br /> 7. As pointed out above,framing a ballot question will be a formidable task. <br /> • 8. What is a lay citizen? <br /> 9. Is the resolution the ballot question? <br /> 10. How does this tie in with the truth in taxation schedule? <br /> 11. What is a"special levy"? <br /> 12. Sales and use taxes are authorized by a general law that requires a special <br /> law and voter approval. At present they can't be modified locally. <br /> 13. What is a"valuation table"? <br /> 14. How is this "majority"calculated? <br /> 15. I think, given the language of this subdivision it will be extremely difficult to <br /> determine what fees are limited by this amendment. <br /> 16. This last sentence is superfluous. <br /> 17. This paragraph D is superfluous. I don't think there's any doubt about the <br /> meaning of the term"City"under the Charter and this language does nothing <br /> to clarify it, if clarification were needed. <br /> • 293823v1 DJK MU210-4 <br />
