City of San Pablo

Shall the measure imposing a cannabis (“marijuana”) business license tax of up to 7% of gross receipts, or $10 per square foot of commercial grow area, lasting until voters end it, and estimated to generate $1,500,000 to $2,200,000 annually to provide City services such as police protection, recreational services, services to local youth and seniors, community grant programs, and for general government use, with all funds staying local and subject to annual audit, be adopted?

To continue funding that cannot be seized by the State, but stays in San Pablo for Public Safety, gang prevention, youth services, job creation, training and job placement for local residents (including the disenfranchised) and all other general city services, shall San Pablo reenact a half-cent sales tax for 5 years (generating approximately $1,450,000 annually), then reduced to one-quarter cent for 5 years (generating approximately $725,000 annually), then terminate; and include citizen oversight and annual audits?

To ensure continued and adequate Emergency Medical Services for San Pablo residents, given the recent threat that County Fire Station #70, which is located in San Pablo, may be downsized or closed and given that Station 70 presently provides 100% of the EMS services for all San Pablo residents, shall San Pablo increase its sales tax by one-quarter percent to fund the creation of an Emergency Medical Services Squad, with mandatory audits, community oversight, and annual reporting?

To provide funding that cannot be seized by the State, but will stay in San Pablo for such things as Public Safety, gang prevention, youth services, job creation and job training programs for local residents (including the disenfranchised) and all other general city services, shall San Pablo enact a temporary half-cent sales tax for 5 years, reduced to one-quarter cent for 5 years, then terminated altogether, with citizens’ oversight, mandatory audits, and consistent community reporting?
