Shall the measure to adopt a one -half percent (0.5%) local transactions and use (sales) tax providing approximately two million dollars ($2,000,000) annually until ended by voters (with citizens' oversight, independent audits, public reporting, and all funds remaining under local control) to maintain public safety services; repair and maintain streets, sidewalks, storm drains, parks, public facilities, and other infrastructure; address long-term fiscal sustainability; and support other general governmental purposes be adopted?
In plain language
Measure HB would create a new sales tax in Hermosa Beach. The tax rate would be one-half percent (0.5%). The money would help pay for public safety. It would also repair streets, sidewalks, storm drains, and parks. It would help the city's long-term finances too. A YES vote creates this tax. It would continue until voters end it. Citizen oversight, independent audits, and public reports would be required. A NO vote does not create the tax.
Fiscal impact
A one-half percent (0.5%) local transactions and use (sales) tax raising about $2,000,000 a year, until ended by voters.
