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 W210-4 <br />
