Bases for Electric and Gas Utility Users ' Tax Rates-First Reading
and Adoption *
SUBMITTED BY City Attorney
ITEM EXPLANATION (4/5TH'S VOTE REQUIRED YES� NO_)
The City Council has directed .that an ordinance be preparecl establishing
a limitation of $80 , 000 for fiscal year 1977-78 for major_ industrial
and commercial utility users and to change the basis of the imposition
from a tax on the gross billing to a factor imposed upon kilowatts of
electricity and therms of gas. Such an ordinance has beenfprepared.
L�
There has also been added a new purpose and intent section �to the ordi-
nance setting forth the City Council ' s concern and reasons 'for making
such a change . It is the intent of the City Attorney' s office to forward
this ordinance both to the League of California Cities and to the National
Institute of Municipal Law Officers since Z believe it does represent a
unique approach to the imposition of the utility users ' tax, which is
now, as you know, a tax which municipalities throughout the country
place heavy reliance upon as a source of revenue .-
*Two ordinances have been prepared as to the maximum limitations .
One includes all utility services - telephone, electric and gas .
The second one includes only electric and gas , which means that
Rohr Corporation, pursuant to its agreement, would continue to
pay the tax on telephone service in addition to the $80 , 000 . Said
tax is approximately $3 , 500 .
