Subject:
PUBLIC FACILITIES FEE - SPECIAL ELECTION
Statement of the Matter
At the meeting of February 20, 1979, Council requested a report as
to the possibility of calling a special election in June for the
purpose of submitting to the voters the question of charging a
public facilities fee for construction within the city limits of
Carlsbad.
The available date for. an election in June is June 5, 1979. If an
election is to be held on June 5, 1979, it must be called by Council
between the dates of March 8, 1979 and March 22, 1979. Therefore,
Council would need to adopt a Resolution calling the election at
their meeting of March 20, 1979.
The- contents of the Resolution would need to include the wording
of the matter as.it would appear on the ballot. In addition, the
wording would need to be specific in nature, incl.uding amounts
proposed to be charged per unit. Without the inclusion of an
amount, it would be considered an advisory matter, and special
elections may not be called for advisory matters.
Recommendati on: . . • .
If Council desires to call a special election, direct staff to
return with the appropriate documents at the meeting of March 20, 1979
Council Action:
S--6-79 Council directed staff to return to the meeting of March 20, 1979,
with the necessary documents for calling a special election
for June 5, 1979.
