When you feel under the weather, you call a doctor. When inflation keeps rising and our debt is ballooning, you call a Financial Planner and send them to Washington to fix the problem. I’ve spent my life working to help individuals and families save for a rainy day, send their kids to college, and retire with dignity. I worked my way through college as a dishwasher and overnight janitor, steadily built up my financial planning business, and was promoted to Senior Vice President where I managed hundreds of employees and billions in assets. I have since founded a nonprofit dedicated to teaching financial literacy to our underserved communities. I decided to run for Congress because as a father, I’m concerned about our children’s future. The middle-class is getting priced out of prosperity, and career politicians in Washington are doing nothing about it. I’m ready to serve as your Congressman, where I’ll put my decades of financial experience to work for you: reducing inflation, reining in wasteful government spending, and balancing the nation’s budget. I will work to suspend the gas tax, pass immediate tax relief for working families, protect and preserve social security, and enact term limits so that no one can spend their whole lifetime in Congress. Most importantly, I will work with anyone who has good ideas to make our country more affordable, safe, and prosperous. I would be honored to have your vote. www.MaryottForCongress.com SD 320-060 CS-G00770-1-ENG MEMBER OF THE STATE ASSEMBLY 77th District TASHA BOERNER HORVATH AGE: 48 California State Assemblymember Dear Neighbor, I’m a mom, businesswoman, and a former PTA leader who got my start in public service by fighting to get a stop sign near my kids’ school.

I’ve also authored important legislation to protect our coastline, improve traffic safety, and prevent pricing discrimination based on gender. Earlier this year, I was appointed to Chair the Assembly’s Committee on Arts, Entertainment, Sports, Tourism, and Internet Media, which helps craft policies that create good paying local jobs. I also serve as Chair of the Assembly’s Select Committee on Sea Level Rise and the California Economy.

SD 320-071 PR-ZZ000A-1-ENG COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO (This Measure will appear on the ballot in the following form.) MEASURE A A CANNABIS BUSINESS TAX Shall the measure to fund general County purposes including but not limited to parks, fire safety, roads, health, and social equity, by taxing cannabis businesses in the unincorporated area on gross receipts at maximum 6% for retail, 3% for distribution, 2% for testing, cultivation at 3% or $10 (inflation adjustable) per canopy square foot, and 4% for other businesses, generating an estimated $2,930,000 to $5,600,000 annually until repealed by voters, be adopted? This measure requires approval of a simple majority (50% plus 1) of those voting on the measure. Full text of this measure follows the arguments and rebuttals. COUNTY COUNSEL IMPARTIAL ANALYSIS This measure was placed on the ballot by the San Diego County Board of Supervisors (“Board”). If approved by a majority of voters, this measure will impose a tax on cannabis businesses in the unincorporated area of San Diego County (“County”) starting January 1, 2023. This tax would be a general tax, meaning revenue could be used by the County for any general governmental purpose. The measure gives the Board the authority to set the initial rate of the tax and then increase or decrease it up to the maximum rate listed below for each type of business. 1) Commercial cannabis cultivation: the Board can choose whether to tax gross receipts at up to 3%, or tax square footage of canopy space. Square footage can be taxed up to the following rates: $10 in a facility that uses exclusively artificial lighting, $7 in a facility that mixes natural and supplemental lighting, $4 in a facility that uses no artificial lighting, and $2 for any nursery. The square footage rate shall be adjusted annually for inflation. 2) Operation of a testing laboratory: up to 2% of gross receipts. 3) Retail sales: up to 6% of gross receipts. 4) Distribution: up to 3% of gross receipts. 5) Manufacturing, processing, or all other types of business: up to 4% of gross receipts. The Board would have the authority to set varied rates using classifications, sub-classifications, a tiered rate structure, graduated rates, or any other means not prohibited by law, up to the maximum rates above. The Board could tax medicinal cannabis business activities at a different rate. The tax would not apply to personal cultivation or use of cannabis as specified in the measure. If a business operates both within the unincorporated area and outside of it, the tax would apply only to activity conducted in the unincorporated area. All cannabis businesses operating in the unincorporated area must register with the County annually. This tax would apply regardless of whether a business is operating lawfully. The tax shall be paid in arrears on a quarterly basis, and penalties and interest shall be imposed for late payments. The measure contains provisions for possible relief from taxes in the event of disaster or crop failure, as specified. The County Treasurer-Tax Collector will administer the tax and has some discretionary authority in that regard. The County Treasurer-Tax Collector may conduct inspections and audits. A commercial cannabis permit may be revoked for specified non-compliance. Further details about the tax are contained in the full text of the measure. The tax cannot be increased beyond the maximum amounts listed above without voter approval. If the voters approve the measure, it will become effective 10 days after the Board declares the election results. SD 320-072 PR-ZZ000A-2-ENG COUNTY COUNSEL IMPARTIAL ANALYSIS (CONTINUED) A “YES” vote is a vote in favor of establishing a cannabis business tax in the unincorporated area of the County. A “NO” vote is a vote against establishing a cannabis business tax in the unincorporated area of the County. FISCAL IMPACT STATEMENT BY COUNTY AUDITOR AND CONTROLLER The passage of this measure would allow for the taxation of medical and non-medical cannabis businesses operating within the unincorporated area of the County of San Diego (“County”). Different tax rates would apply to the gross receipts or square footage related to cannabis operations, depending on the business type. The business types and the respective maximum tax rates on their operations are as follows: Cultivation up to $10 per square foot of canopy space, with the actual rate depending on the type of facility, or up to 3% of gross receipts; Testing Laboratory up to 2% of gross receipts; all Retail Sales, including a Retail Dispensary, Retail Delivery, or Microbusiness up to 6% of gross receipts; Distributor up to 3% of gross receipts; Manufacturing/Processing, and any other type of cannabis business not described above, up to 4% of gross receipts. The tax revenue generated would be available for general governmental purposes. The Cannabis Business Tax, if approved by voters, is operative beginning January 1, 2023, pending action by the County Board of Supervisors (“Board”) to set the initial tax rates. The Board has the authority to increase or decrease the tax rates, subject to the maximums established by this measure. Fiscal impacts associated with this measure include increased unrestricted General Fund revenue from the cannabis business tax paid to the County and increased General Fund expenditures for costs related to tax collection, auditing, accounting, and administration. These revenues and costs are dependent on several unpredictable variable factors, making them difficult to project. These factors include policy decisions by the Board, the number, type, and size of cannabis businesses operating in the unincorporated area of County, consumer demand for cannabis, competition from cannabis businesses located in other jurisdictions, the market price of cannabis, and the compliance of participating businesses. All these factors may change over time. Based on a consultant’s study of the commercial cannabis industry in the County, estimated revenues from the cannabis business tax in the future could potentially range from approximately $2.9 million to approximately $5.6 million annually. This estimate considers anticipated consumer demand and cannabis business revenue, as well as a range of both market price and production estimates. Actual General Fund revenues may be significantly different depending on the variable factors noted above. While the actual costs are also uncertain, the County anticipates costs of $323,311, which includes 2.5 additional fulltime positions related to tax collection, auditing, accounting, and administration ($191,311), a one-time update to systems used for collections ($50,000), and contracts with external entities for auditing services and cannabis industry data access ($82,000). These costs would be funded by general County revenues. SD 320-073 PR-ZZ000A-3-ENG ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF MEASURE A In 2016, San Diego County voters overwhelmingly legalized the sale and consumption of cannabis for adults under Proposition 64. Since that time, many cities have taken steps to allow for and regulate cannabis businesses, including the cities of San Diego, La Mesa, Lemon Grove, Vista, Oceanside, and now, unincorporated San Diego County. San Diego County is taking a comprehensive approach to cannabis that advances a safe, regulated, and legal adult cannabis market and promotes social equity. Measure A would impose a tax on cannabis businesses in the unincorporated regions of San Diego County. The tax is not a sales or use tax on cannabis users. The taxes will be paid solely by cannabis businesses, including retail businesses. These tax revenues will stay within San Diego County to fund general County purposes, including but not limited to, parks, fire safety, roads, health, social equity, and increased enforcement of illegal cannabis operations. This tax will be paid for by businesses in unincorporated communities such as Ramona, Lakeside, and Fallbrook, even though all San Diego County voters are asked to weigh in. It will not apply to cannabis businesses in cities and will not be a double tax. Measure A is fiscally responsible. By imposing a tax on cannabis businesses, the County’s budget will be protected from any new costs associated with cannabis regulation, and protect resources for investment in our communities, public health, and social equity programs. Additionally, implementing this tax will be important to preserve the County’s resources so that it can continue to fight against illicit cannabis businesses that have proliferated in many of our communities. Measure A is a bipartisan solution to advance a safe, regulated, and legal adult cannabis market in San Diego County. These Supervisors urge you to vote yes.

VARGAS Chair - San Diego County Board of Supervisors Vice Chair Supervisor Nora Vargas TERRA LAWSON-REMER Supervisor Terra Lawson-Remer SD 320-074 PR-ZZ000A-4-ENG REBUTTAL TO ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF MEASURE A We don’t understand how unfairly taxing the hardest hit and spending the funds on everyone else promotes “social equity.” If a tax is being imposed on businesses in Ramona, Lakeside, and Fallbrook, then it would make sense if only those areas could vote on this measure. Likewise, you would think that the tax revenue would actually go towards public goods in the areas paying for it. Unfortunately that IS NOT the case for either, and now these communities are in the unfair position of hoping everybody else doesn’t force this tax on them. Would you like it if you were the only one paying money for something, yet you didn’t reap any of the benefits? Shouldn’t the taxes on cannabis businesses be used to provide safeguards to the unincorporated areas being taxed, instead of to whatever unrelated programs the County wants outside of those areas? A fair social equity program would do just that. Show respect for your fellow San Diegans in the unincorporated parts of the County by voting NO on Measure A, and send the message that this is not the way we treat one another!

KEVANE Certified Public Accountant SD 320-075 PR-ZZ000A-5-ENG ARGUMENT AGAINST MEASURE A Vote NO on Measure A! Decided on by all, yet paid by only some. If you live in the backcountry or other unincorporated areas, you’re going to pay this tax, and it’s going to go to support everyone else. Don’t pay for an unfair tax when the proceeds WILL LEAVE your community. If you don’t live in the unincorporated county, wouldn’t you hate it if someone taxed you but didn’t promise to keep the money in your neighborhood? Remember the GOLDEN RULE: do unto others as you would have them do unto you! The San Diego County Cannabis Tax proposal claims to help the region’s unincorporated areas, but the opposite is true. There is no guarantee that the revenue from this tax, which is only on the unincorporated areas, will stay there. INEQUITY AT ITS WORST! Why place a burden on just a few without actually guaranteeing they will receive the benefit and support their neighborhood needs?? This is a totally UNFAIR tax! Join the San Diego County Taxpayers Association in rejecting this unfair, inequitable tax that would take advantage of some of the hardest hit communities in our region. HANEY HONG DIANNE JACOB President & CEO, Former County Supervisor SD County Taxpayers Association BARRY JANTZ ROBERT KEVANE Retired Healthcare Administrator Certified Public Accountant Former La Mesa Councilmember SD 320-076 PR-ZZ000A-6-ENG REBUTTAL TO ARGUMENT AGAINST MEASURE A Vote YES on Measure A! Cannabis businesses pay – San Diego County residents benefit. The opponents to Measure A have their facts completely wrong. Measure A is good for taxpayers and is urgently needed for the County unincorporated area. Measure A is fiscally responsible. It protects the County’s budget from any new costs associated with cannabis regulation and protects funding for our unincorporated area communities. Measure A will help shut down illegal cannabis businesses that harm many unincorporated communities. Measure A will ensure that San Diego County benefits from the 2016 voter-approved legalization of adult-use cannabis by creating a new revenue stream. These funds are urgently needed to invest in unincorporated area roads, parks, fire safety, social equity, and addressing homelessness. This is not a tax on the people who live in unincorporated San Diego County or in any other part of San Diego. No one will pay unless they open a cannabis business in the unincorporated area. Cannabis businesses in the City of San Diego, La Mesa, Lemon Grove, Vista, and Oceanside already pay their fair share – and it is only right that these businesses in the unincorporated area pay as well. This regulation extends those same requirements to cannabis businesses in unincorporated San Diego County. A safe, regulated, and legal adult cannabis market is the right step forward for San Diego County. Measure A makes that possible. Vote YES on Measure A, this bipartisan solution.

Retail sales of non-cannabis products, such as t-shirts, sweaters, hats, stickers, key chains, bags, books, posters, rolling papers, cannabis accessories such as pipes, pipe screens, vape pen batteries (without cannabis) or other personal tangible property which the Tax Administrator has excluded in writing by issuing an administrative ruling per Section 22.414 shall not be subject to the cannabis business tax under this chapter. 10. Payments made by the tax-reporting cannabis business (Seller) to a cannabis business (Buyer) for the difference in the original acquisition price and subsequent renegotiated or finalized selling price of products or services sold to a specific end customer.

SD 320-081 PR-ZZ000A-11-ENG FULL TEXT OF MEASURE A (CONTINUED) 22.405 TAX IMPOSED. A. Beginning January 1, 2023, there is imposed upon each person who is engaged in business as a cannabis business a cannabis business tax. Such tax is payable regardless of whether the person has been issued a commercial cannabis permit to operate lawfully in the unincorporated area of the County or is operating unlawfully. The County’s acceptance of a cannabis business tax payment from a cannabis business operating illegally shall not constitute the County’s approval or consent to such illegal operations. B. The County Board of Supervisors may, by resolution or ordinance, increase or decrease the rate of the cannabis business tax, including the initial rate of cannabis business tax. The County Board of Supervisors may, by resolution or ordinance, increase or decrease the rate of the medicinal cannabis business tax, including the initial rate of the medicinal cannabis business tax, independent of other cannabis business tax activities. The County Board of Supervisors may set varied rates using classifications, sub-classifications, a tiered rate structure, graduated rates, or any other means not prohibited by law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the County Board of Supervisors repeal this tax or set any adjusted rate that exceeds the maximum rates calculated pursuant to this chapter. C. The maximum rate of the cannabis business tax shall be calculated as follows: 1. For every person engaged in commercial cannabis cultivation in the unincorporated area of the County, the person shall be subject to an annual commercial cannabis business tax at the rates specified below in Section 22.405(C)(1)(a) or shall be subject to the annual maximum tax rate not to exceed three percent (3%) of gross receipts. a. Through January 1, 2024, the annual maximum rate shall be: i. Ten dollars ($10.00) per square foot of canopy space in a facility that uses exclusively artificial lighting. ii. Seven dollars ($7.00) per square foot of canopy space in a facility that uses a combination of natural and supplemental lighting as defined in Section 22.404(Q) of this chapter. iii. Four dollars ($4.00) per square foot of canopy space in a facility that uses no artificial lighting. iv. Two dollars ($2.00) per square foot of canopy space for any nursery. b. On January 1, 2024 and on each January 1, thereafter, the maximum annual tax rates specified in Section 22.405(C)(1)(a), shall increase by the percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) for consumers in the San Diego Metropolitan Area as published by the United States Government Bureau of Labor Statistics. However, no CPI adjustment resulting in a decrease of any tax imposed shall be made. 2. For every person engaged in the operation of a testing laboratory for cannabis, cannabis products, the person shall be subject to the maximum tax rate not to exceed two percent (2%) of gross receipts. 3. For every person engaged in retail sales of cannabis, cannabis products, including as a retailer (dispensary) or non-storefront retailer (retail delivery business), or microbusiness, the person shall be subject to the maximum tax rate not to exceed six percent (6%) of gross receipts. 4. For every person engaged in distribution of cannabis, cannabis products, the person shall be subject to the maximum tax rate not to exceed three percent (3%) of gross receipts.

D. Persons subject to the cannabis business tax shall register with the County and if applicable pay the registration fee adopted by resolution or ordinance by the County Board of Supervisors pursuant to Section 22.406. 22.406 REGISTRATION, REPORTING AND REMITTANCE OF TAX. A. Registration of Cannabis Business. All cannabis businesses shall be required to annually register as follows: 1. All persons engaging in business as a cannabis business, whether an existing, newly established or acquired business shall register with the Tax Administrator within thirty (30) calendar days of commencing operation and shall annually renew such registration within thirty (30) calendar days of the business registration anniversary date of each year thereafter. In registering, such persons shall furnish to the Tax Administrator a sworn statement, upon a form prescribed by the Tax Administrator, setting forth the following information: i. The name of the business ii. The names and addresses of each owner iii. The exact nature or kind of business iv. The place where such business is to be carried on; and v. Any additional information which the Tax Administrator may require. B. An annual registration fee in accordance with the current and approved County fee schedule shall be presented with the sworn statement submitted under this chapter. This fee shall not be considered a tax and may be adjusted annually by resolution or ordinance of the County Board of Supervisors. C. The cannabis business tax imposed by this chapter shall be paid, in arrears, on a quarterly basis. Each person owing a cannabis business tax shall on or before the last day of the month following the close of each calendar quarter file with the Tax Administrator a statement (“tax statement”) of the tax owed for that calendar quarter and the basis for calculating that tax. The Tax Administrator may require that the tax statement be submitted on a form prescribed by the Tax Administrator. The tax for each calendar quarter shall be due and payable on the same date that the tax statement is due. D. Upon cessation of a cannabis business, tax statements and payments shall be immediately due for all calendar quarters up through the calendar quarter during which cessation occurred. E. In the event that there is a change in ownership of any cannabis business: 1. The new owner is required to submit an updated registration form to the Tax Administrator; 2. The new owner is subject to an audit by the Tax Administrator; and 3. Unless otherwise provided by law, it is the joint and several liability of both the seller and buyer to remit any taxes, interest, penalties, and fees due up until the date of sale; otherwise, a certificate of lien may be recorded against both the seller and/or buyer in an amount to be determined by the Tax Administrator. SD 320-083 PR-ZZ000A-13-ENG FULL TEXT OF MEASURE A (CONTINUED) F. The Tax Administrator may, at his or her discretion, establish alternative reporting and payment periods for any taxpayer as the Tax Administrator deems necessary to ensure effective collection of the cannabis business tax. The Tax Administrator may also require that a deposit, to be applied against the taxes for a calendar quarter, be made by a taxpayer at the beginning of that calendar quarter. In no event shall the deposit required by the Tax Administrator exceed the tax amount he or she projects will be owed by the taxpayer for the calendar quarter. The Tax Administrator may require that a taxpayer make payments via a cashier’s check, money order, wire transfer, or similar instrument. 22.407 PAYMENTS AND COMMUNICATIONS – TIMELY REMITTANCE. Whenever any payment, statement, report, request, or other communication is due, it must be received by the Tax Administrator on or before the due date. A postmark will not be accepted as timely remittance. If the due date would fall on a Saturday, Sunday or a holiday observed by the County, the due date shall be the next regular business day on which the County is open to the public. 22.408 PAYMENT – WHEN TAXES DEEMED DELINQUENT. Unless otherwise specifically provided under other provisions of this chapter, the taxes required to be paid pursuant to this chapter shall be deemed delinquent if not received by the Tax Administrator on or before the due date as specified in Sections 22.406 and 22.407. 22.409 NOTICE NOT REQUIRED BY THE COUNTY. The County may as a courtesy send a tax notice to the cannabis business which owes the County a cannabis business tax. However, the Tax Administrator is not required to send a delinquency or other notice or bill to any person subject to the provisions of this chapter. Failure to send such notice or bill shall not affect the validity of any tax or penalty due under the provisions of this chapter. 22.410 PENALTIES AND INTEREST. A. Any person who fails or refuses to pay any cannabis business tax required to be paid pursuant to this chapter on or before the due date shall pay penalties and interest as follows: 1. A penalty equal to ten percent (10%) of the amount of the tax, in addition to the amount of the tax, plus interest on the unpaid tax calculated from the due date of the tax at the rate of one percent (1%) per month. 2. If the tax remains unpaid for a period exceeding one calendar month beyond the due date, an additional penalty equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of the amount of the tax, plus interest at the rate of one percent (1%) per month on the unpaid tax and on the unpaid penalties. 3. Interest shall be applied at the rate of one percent (1%) per month on the first day of the month for the full month and will continue to accrue monthly on the tax and penalty until the balance is paid in full. B. Whenever a check or electronic payment is submitted in payment of a cannabis business tax and the payment is subsequently returned unpaid by the bank for any reason, the taxpayer will be liable for the tax amount due plus any fees, penalties, and interest as provided for in this chapter, and any other amount allowed under state law. C. The Tax Administrator may waive the penalties imposed upon any person under this Section 22.410 if: 1. The person requests a waiver of penalties by submitting a written request for waiver to the Tax Administrator no later than December 31 of the second calendar year following the calendar year in which the tax became delinquent; and SD 320-084 PR-ZZ000A-14-ENG FULL TEXT OF MEASURE A (CONTINUED) 2. The person provides evidence satisfactory to the Tax Administrator that the failure to pay timely was due to circumstances beyond the control of the person and occurred notwithstanding the exercise of ordinary care and in the absence of willful neglect; and the person paid the delinquent taxes, penalties, accrued interest, and fees owed prior to applying to the Tax Administrator for a waiver. D. The waiver provisions specified in Section 22.410(C) shall not apply to interest accrued on the delinquent taxes and a waiver shall be granted only once during any twenty-four month period. The Tax Administrator’s decision on a request for a waiver of penalties is final and conclusive and not subject to appeal under Section 22.425. 22.411 REFUNDS AND CREDITS. A. No refund shall be made of any tax collected pursuant to this chapter, except as provided in Section 22.412. B. No refund of any tax collected pursuant to this chapter shall be made because of the discontinuation, dissolution, or other termination of a business. 22.412 REFUNDS AND PROCEDURES. A. Whenever the amount of any cannabis business tax, penalty or interest has been overpaid, paid more than once, or has been erroneously collected or received by the County under this chapter, it may be refunded to the claimant who paid the tax provided that a written claim for refund signed under penalty of perjury is filed with the Tax Administrator within one (1) year of the date the tax was originally due or paid, whichever came first. The claim shall be filed on a form available from the Tax Administrator. A person may only file a claim for refund if the person paid the tax. No person shall be entitled to a refund unless the person can support the claim by written records sufficient to show entitlement thereto. The Tax Administrator's decision on a claim for refund is final and conclusive and not subject to appeal under Section 22.425. B. The Tax Administrator, his or her designee which may include a third party, or any other County officer charged with the administration of this chapter shall have the right to examine and audit all the books and business records of the claimant in order to determine the eligibility of the claimant to the claimed refund. No claim for refund shall be allowed if the claimant refuses to allow such examination of claimant's books and business records after requested by the Tax Administrator to do so. The Tax Administrator may collect a fee adopted by the County Board of Supervisors to pay for the cost of examination and audit should the books and records be provided in a form insufficient to allow the Tax Administrator to make a determination on the claim for refund. C. In the event that the cannabis business tax was erroneously paid in an amount in excess of the tax due, and the error is attributable to the County, the County shall refund the amount of tax erroneously paid; provided that (i) a claim for refund has been timely filed with the Tax Administrator; and (ii) the refund cannot exceed, under any circumstance, the amount of tax overpaid during the twelve months preceding the last month for which the claim states the tax was overpaid. 22.413 PERSONAL CULTIVATION NOT TAXED. The provisions of this chapter shall not apply to personal cannabis cultivation or personal use of cannabis, to the extent those activities are authorized in the “Medicinal and Adult Use Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act,” as may be amended. This chapter shall not apply to personal use of cannabis that is specifically exempted from state licensing requirements, that meets the definition of personal use or equivalent terminology under state law, and provided that the individual receives no compensation whatsoever related to that personal cultivation or use. 22.414 ADMINISTRATION OF THE TAX. A. It shall be the duty of the Tax Administrator to collect the taxes, interest, penalties, fees, and perform the duties required by this chapter. B. For purposes of administration and enforcement of this chapter generally, the Tax Administrator may from time to time promulgate such administrative interpretations, rules, and procedures consistent with the purpose, intent, and express terms of this chapter as he or she deems necessary to implement or clarify such provisions or aid in enforcement. SD 320-085 PR-ZZ000A-15-ENG FULL TEXT OF MEASURE A (CONTINUED) C.

Provide to all cannabis business taxpayers forms for the reporting of the tax; 2. Provide information to any taxpayer concerning the provisions of this chapter; 3. Receive and record all taxes remitted to the County as provided in this chapter; 4. Maintain records of taxpayer reports and taxes collected pursuant to this chapter; 5. Assess penalties and interest to taxpayers pursuant to this chapter; 6. Determine amounts owed under and enforce collection pursuant to this chapter. 22.415 ENFORCEMENT. A. Any taxes, interest, penalties, and/or fees required to be paid under the provisions of this chapter shall be deemed a debt owed to the County. Any person owing money to the County under the provisions of this chapter shall be liable in an action brought in the name of the County for the recovery of such debt. The provisions of this chapter shall not be deemed a limitation upon the right of the County to bring any other action including criminal, civil and equitable actions, based upon the failure to pay the tax, interest, penalties, and/or fees imposed by this chapter or the failure to comply with any of the provisions of this chapter. B. In addition to any other remedies available under federal, state, or local law, if any amount required to be paid to the County under this chapter is not paid when due, the Tax Administrator may, within three (3) years after the amount is due record with any county recorder in the State of California a certificate of lien specifying the amount of taxes, interest, penalties, and fees due, and the name and address of the person as it appears on the records of the Tax Administrator. The lien shall also specify that the Tax Administrator has complied with all provisions of this chapter in the determination of the amount required to be paid. Such certificate of lien shall be recorded in accordance with applicable law in the jurisdiction in which the certificate is recorded. From the time of the filing for record, the amount required to be paid, together with penalties and interest thereon, constitutes a lien upon all real property in the county where the certificate is recorded owed by the person, or subsequently acquired by the person before the lien expires. The lien has the force, effect, and priority of a judgment lien and shall continue for ten (10) years from the recording of the certificate unless sooner released or otherwise discharged. A fee may be adopted by the County Board of Supervisors and collected by the Tax Administrator to pay for the cost of recording and administering the lien. C. At any time within ten (10) years after the Tax Administrator has recorded a certificate of lien under this Section 22.415, the Tax Administrator may issue a warrant for the enforcement of any liens and for the collection of any amount required to be paid to the County under this chapter. The warrant shall be directed to any sheriff or marshal and shall have the same effect as a writ of execution. The warrant shall be levied and sale made pursuant to it in the same manner and with the same effect as a levy and sale pursuant to a writ of execution. The Tax Administrator may pay or advance to the sheriff or marshal, the same fees, commissions and expenses for services provided by law for similar services pursuant to a writ of execution. D. In lieu of issuing a warrant under this Section 22.415, at any time within three (3) years after any amount required to be paid to the County under this chapter is not paid when due or a certificate of lien was recorded under this Section 22.415, the Tax Administrator may collect the amount due by seizing any asset or property, real or personal (including a bank account), of the person and sell at public auction the asset or property, or a sufficient part of it to pay the amount due together with any penalties, interest, and fees imposed for the delinquency and any cost incurred on account of the seizure and sale. Any seizure made shall be only of property of the person owing the cannabis business tax not exempt from execution under the provisions of the Code of Civil Procedure. SD 320-086 PR-ZZ000A-16-ENG FULL TEXT OF MEASURE A (CONTINUED) 22.416 APPORTIONMENT. If a person subject to the tax is operating both within the unincorporated area of the County and outside the unincorporated area of the County, it is the intent of the County to apply the cannabis business tax so that the measure of the tax fairly reflects the proportion of the taxed activity actually carried on in the unincorporated area of the County. To the extent federal or state law requires that any tax due from any taxpayer be apportioned, the taxpayer may indicate said apportionment on his or her tax return. The Tax Administrator may promulgate administrative procedures for apportionment as he or she finds useful or necessary. 22.417 CONSTITUTIONALITY AND LEGALITY. This tax is intended to be applied in a manner consistent with the United States and California Constitutions and state law. None of the tax provided for by this chapter shall be applied in a manner that causes an undue burden upon interstate commerce, a violation of the equal protection or due process clauses of the Constitutions of the United States or the State of California or a violation of any other provision of the California Constitution or state law. If a person believes that the tax, as applied to him or her, is impermissible under applicable law, he or she may request that the Tax Administrator release him or her from the obligation to pay the impermissible portion of the tax. 22.418 AUDIT AND EXAMINATION OF PREMISES AND RECORDS. A. For the purpose of ascertaining the amount of cannabis business tax owed or verifying any representations made by any taxpayer to the County in support of his or her tax calculation, the Tax Administrator or his/her designees which may include a third party shall have the power to inspect any location where commercial cannabis activity occurs and to audit and examine all books and records (including, but not limited to bookkeeping records, access to METRC data, and/or point-of-sale data, state and/or federal income tax returns, excise tax returns, and other records relating to the gross receipts of the business) of persons engaged in cannabis businesses. In conducting such investigation, the Tax Administrator, or his/her designees which may include a third party shall have the power to inspect any space utilized for cannabis related activities, as well as any equipment or software, such as computers, software systems, platforms, and databases (including METRC), and/or point of sale systems, to include any keys or access codes for access to and use of the equipment and/or software, that may contain such records. B. It shall be the duty of every person liable for the collection and payment to the County of any tax imposed by this chapter to keep and preserve, for a period of at least three (3) years, all records as may be necessary to determine the amount of such tax as he or she may have been liable for the collection of and payment to the County, which records the Tax Administrator or his/her designee which may include a third party shall have the right to inspect at all reasonable times. 22.419 OTHER LICENSES, PERMITS, TAXES, FEES OR CHARGES. A. Nothing contained in this chapter shall be deemed to repeal, amend, be in lieu of, replace or in any way affect any requirements for any commercial cannabis permit, County license, permit, or other certificate required by, under or by virtue of any provision of any other chapter of this code or any other ordinance or resolution of the County, nor be deemed to repeal, amend, be in lieu of, replace or in any way affect any tax, fee or other charge imposed, assessed or required under any other chapter of this code or any other ordinance or resolution of the County. Any references made or contained in any other chapter of this code to any licenses, permits, or certificates, or license, permit, or certificate taxes, fees, or charges, or to any schedule of license, permit, or certificate fees, shall be deemed to refer to the licenses, permits or certificates, and their respective taxes, fees or charges, or schedule of fees, provided for in other chapters of this code. B. A commercial cannabis permit issued under the San Diego County Code of Regulatory Ordinances may be revoked, suspended or not renewed in the event that the person holding that permit has failed to: (i) register or renew such registration pursuant to Section 22.406, (ii) make a deposit required by the Tax Administrator pursuant to Section 22.406, or (iii) timely pay all taxes, interest, penalties, and fees owed. SD 320-087 PR-ZZ000A-17-ENG FULL TEXT OF MEASURE A (CONTINUED) 22.420 PAYMENT OF TAX DOES NOT AUTHORIZE UNLAWFUL BUSINESS. A. The payment of a cannabis business tax required by this chapter, and its acceptance by the County, shall not entitle any person to carry on any cannabis business unless the person has complied with all of the requirements of this code and all other applicable County and state laws. B. No tax paid under the provisions of this chapter shall be construed as authorizing the conduct or continuance of any illegal or unlawful business, or any business in violation of any local or state law. 22.421 DEFICIENCY DETERMINATIONS. If the Tax Administrator is not satisfied that any statement filed as required under the provisions of this chapter is correct, or that the amount of tax is correctly computed, he or she may compute and determine the amount to be paid and make a deficiency determination upon the basis of the facts contained in the statement or upon the basis of any information in his or her possession or that may come into his or her possession within three (3) years of the date the tax was originally due and payable. One or more deficiency determinations of the amount of tax due for a period or periods may be made. When a person discontinues engaging in a cannabis business, a deficiency determination may be made at any time within three (3) years thereafter as to any liability arising from engaging in such cannabis business whether or not a deficiency determination is issued prior to the date the tax would otherwise be due. Whenever a deficiency determination is made, a notice shall be given to the person concerned in the same manner as notices of assessment are given under Sections 22.422 and 22.423. 22.422 FAILURE TO REPORT – NONPAYMENT, FRAUD. A. Under any of the following circumstances, the Tax Administrator may make and give notice of an assessment of the amount of tax owed by a person under this chapter at any time: 1. If the person has not filed a complete statement required under the provisions of this chapter; 2. If the person has not paid the tax due under the provisions of this chapter; 3. If the person has not, after demand by the Tax Administrator, filed a corrected statement, or furnished to the Tax Administrator adequate substantiation of the information contained in a statement already filed, or paid any additional amount of tax due under the provisions of this chapter; or 4. If the Tax Administrator determines that the nonpayment of any cannabis business tax due under this chapter is due to fraud, a penalty of twenty-five percent (25%) of the amount of the tax shall be added thereto in addition to penalties and interest otherwise payable under this chapter and any other penalties allowed by law. B. The notice of assessment shall separately set forth the amount of any tax known by the Tax Administrator to be due or estimated by the Tax Administrator, after consideration of all information within the Tax Administrator's knowledge concerning the business and activities of the person assessed, to be due under each applicable provision of this chapter and shall include the amount of any penalties or interest accrued on each amount to the date of the notice of assessment. The notice shall state that the person has thirty (30) calendar days from the date of the notice to make a written request for an informal hearing before the Tax Administrator. The notice shall also state that if the person fails to timely request an informal hearing within the time allowed, the amount determined by the Tax Administrator is final and conclusive and is immediately due and payable. SD 320-088 PR-ZZ000A-18-ENG FULL TEXT OF MEASURE A (CONTINUED) 22.423 TAX ASSESSMENT – NOTICE REQUIREMENTS. The notice of assessment shall be served upon the person either by personal delivery, by overnight delivery by a nationally-recognized courier service, or by a deposit of the notice in the United States mail, postage prepaid thereon, addressed to the person at the address of the location of the business or to such other address as he or she shall register with the Tax Administrator for the purpose of receiving notices provided under this chapter; or, should the person have no address registered with the Tax Administrator for such purpose, then to such person's last known address. For the purpose of Section 22.423, a service by overnight delivery shall be deemed to have occurred one (1) calendar day following deposit with a courier and service by mail shall be deemed to have occurred three (3) calendar days following deposit in the United States mail. 22.424 TAX ASSESSMENT – HEARING, APPLICATION, AND DETERMINATION. Within thirty (30) calendar days after the date of service of the notice of assessment the person may apply in writing to the Tax Administrator for an informal hearing on the assessment. If application for an informal hearing is not made within the time herein prescribed, the tax assessed by the Tax Administrator shall become final and conclusive. Within thirty (30) calendar days after the receipt of any such application for an informal hearing, the Tax Administrator shall cause the matter to be set for an informal hearing before him or her, or his/her designee, unless a later date is agreed to by the Tax Administrator and the person requesting the informal hearing. Notice of such informal hearing shall be given by the Tax Administrator to the person requesting such informal hearing no later than five (5) calendar days prior to such informal hearing. A hearing under this section shall be informal and need not follow any formal rules of evidence. At such hearing said applicant may appear and offer evidence why the assessment as made by the Tax Administrator should not be confirmed and fixed as the tax due. After such hearing the Tax Administrator shall determine and reassess (if necessary) the proper amount of tax, interest, penalties, and fees to be charged and shall give written notice of the decision to the person in the manner prescribed in Section 22.423 for giving notice of assessment. No appeal of a notice of assessment may be made under Section 22.425 unless an informal hearing is timely requested and the person attends the hearing. If the person fails to appear at the informal hearing, the amount due determined by the Tax Administrator in the notice of assessment is final and conclusive. 22.425 APPEAL. A taxpayer aggrieved by a decision of the Tax Administrator with respect to the amount of tax, interest, penalties, and fees, if any, due under this chapter may appeal only if an informal hearing was requested and attended pursuant to Section 22.424. An appeal may be made by filing a notice of appeal with the Clerk of the County Board of Supervisors within thirty (30) calendar days of the serving or mailing of the Tax Administrator’s decision of the amount due. Upon receipt of a timely notice of appeal, the Clerk of the Board, or his or her designee, shall fix a time and place for hearing such appeal with a County hearing officer appointed pursuant to County Administrative Code section 650 et seq. and shall assign the matter by selecting a hearing officer on a rotating basis from the list of appointed hearing officers. The Clerk of the Board, or his or her designee, shall give at least ten (10) calendar days’ notice of the appeal hearing in writing to such taxpayer at the last known place of address. The hearing officer shall render a written decision that shall be served on the taxpayer at the last known place of address. The decision of the hearing officer shall be final and conclusive. Any amount found to be due by the hearing officer shall be immediately due and payable upon the service of the decision. If no notice of appeal is filed within the time prescribed in this section, the Tax Administrator’s decision with respect to the amount of tax, interest, penalties, and fees due is final and conclusive. 22.426 RELIEF FROM TAXES – DISASTER OR CROP FAILURE. A. If a person is unable to comply with any tax requirement imposed under this chapter due to a disaster impacting its cannabis business, the person may notify the Tax Administrator of its inability to comply and request relief from the tax requirement. For purposes of this chapter, “disaster” means fire, flood, storm, tidal wave, earthquake, or similar public calamity resulting in physical damage to real property, whether or not resulting from natural causes. SD 320-089 PR-ZZ000A-19-ENG FULL TEXT OF MEASURE A (CONTINUED) B. If a person is unable to comply with any tax requirement imposed under this chapter due to crop failure which impacts the cannabis business, the person must notify the Tax Administrator of its inability to comply and request relief from the tax requirement within five (5) calendar days from when the crop failure occurred in order to be considered eligible for such tax relief. For the purposes of this chapter, “crop failure ” means a greatly diminished crop yield relative to expectation, caused by the plants being damaged, killed, or destroyed, or affected in some way that they fail to form clones, mother plants, vegetative and/or flowering plants which must be destroyed as a result of viruses, pathogens, pest, bugs, locust, insects, mites, worms, fungi, bacteria, damaged water systems, plumbing, flooding, excessive heat damage, power outage, or other similar cause which results in physical damage to cannabis plants and/or cannabis products due to events outside the reasonable control of the person. C. The person shall provide any information required by the Tax Administrator including, without limitation, why relief is requested, the time period for which the relief is requested, the reason relief is needed for a specific amount of time, access to cultivation logs, and video surveillance camera footage for the time period the where the cannabis business has been impacted. The person agrees to grant the Tax Administrator or his/her designee access to the location where the cannabis business has been impacted due to a disaster or crop failure and shall not destroy any evidence which may be deemed essential to verify that such person qualifies for tax relief. D. The Tax Administrator, in his/her sole discretion, may provide relief from the cannabis business tax requirement for businesses whose operations have been impacted by a disaster or crop failure and such tax relief shall not exceed twenty-five thousand ($25,000) dollars. Such temporary relief may be granted for a reasonable amount of time, in the Tax Administrator’s sole discretion, and the amount and duration of relief will be based upon how long it would reasonably take for the cannabis business to recover from the disaster or crop failure. The Tax Administrator may require that the cannabis business follow certain conditions to receive temporary relief from the cannabis business tax requirement. The Tax Administrator's decision on a request for relief and the conditions that may be imposed for relief under this section are final and conclusive and not subject to appeal under Section 22.425. 22.427 CONVICTION FOR VIOLATION – TAXES NOT WAIVED. The conviction and punishment of any person for failure to pay the required tax shall not excuse or exempt such person from any civil action for the tax debt unpaid at the time of such conviction. No civil action shall prevent a criminal prosecution for any violation of the provisions of this chapter or of any state law requiring the payment of all taxes. 22.428 VIOLATION DEEMED MISDEMEANOR. Any person violating any of the provisions of this chapter shall be guilty of a misdemeanor. 22.429 SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this chapter, or its application to any person or circumstance, is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unlawful, unenforceable, or otherwise void, that determination shall have no effect on any other provision of this chapter or the application of this chapter to any other person or circumstance and, to that end, the provisions hereof are severable. 22.430 REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. All remedies and penalties prescribed by this chapter, or which are available under any other provision of this code and any other provision of law or equity are cumulative. The use of one or more remedies by the County shall not bar the use of any other remedy for the purpose of enforcing the provisions of this chapter. SD 320-090 PR-ZZ000A-20-ENG FULL TEXT OF MEASURE A (CONTINUED) 22.431 AMENDMENT OR MODIFICATION. Except as set forth in Section 22.431, this chapter may be amended or modified but not repealed by the County Board of Supervisors without a vote of the people. However, as required by Article XIII C of the California Constitution, voter approval is required for any amendment that would expand, extend, or increase the rate of any tax levied pursuant to this chapter beyond the maximums set forth in this chapter. The people of the County of San Diego affirm that the following actions shall not constitute an increase of the rate of a tax: A. The restoration or adjustment of the rate of the tax to a rate that is no higher than that allowed by this chapter, in those circumstances where, among others, the County Board of Supervisors has previously acted to reduce the rate of the tax or is incrementally implementing an increase authorized by this chapter; B. An action that interprets or clarifies (i) the methodology of applying or calculating the tax or (ii) any definition applicable to the tax, so long as the interpretation or clarification (even if contrary to some prior interpretation or clarification) is not inconsistent with the provisions of this chapter; or C. The collection of the tax imposed by this chapter even if the County had, for some period of time, failed to collect the tax. SECTION 2. SEVERABILITY. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, or phrase of this ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this ordinance. The people of the County of San Diego hereby declare that they would have passed this ordinance and each section, subsection, sentence, clause, and phrase thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, sentences, clauses, or phrases be declared invalid. SECTION 3. ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE. The County Board of Supervisors hereby finds and determines that this ordinance is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act, Public Resources Code Sections 21000 et seq. (“CEQA”) and 14 Cal. Code Re. Sections 15000 et seq. (“CEQA Guidelines”). The calling and noticing of an election for the submission of a ballot measure to voters is not a project within the meaning of CEQA Guidelines 15378. The tax submitted to the voters is a general tax that can be used for any governmental purpose; it is not a commitment to any particular action or actions. As such, under CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(4), the tax is not a project within the meaning of CEQA because it creates a government funding mechanism that does not involve any commitment to any specific project that may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment. If revenue generated by the tax were used for a purpose that would have such an effect, the County of San Diego would undertake the required CEQA review for that particular project. Therefore, pursuant to CEQA Guideline Section 15060 CEQA analysis is not required. SECTION 4. EFFECTIVE DATE. This ordinance shall be voted upon by the electorate at the November 8, 2022 statewide election. Pursuant to the California Constitution, Article XIII C, section 2(b), and California Elections Code § 9122, if a majority of the voters voting in the election on this measure vote in favor of the adoption of this measure, this ordinance shall be deemed valid and binding and shall be considered adopted upon the date that the vote is declared by the County Board of Supervisors and shall go into effect ten (10) days after that date. SD 320-091 PR-ZZ002J-1-ENG CITY OF CARLSBAD (This Measure will appear on the ballot in the following form.) MEASURE J. MONROE STREET POOL RENOVATION/REPLACEMENT PROJECT Do the voters of the City of Carlsbad approve spending existing city funds from various sources, including the General Fund, in an amount to exceed $1 million for the Monroe Street Pool Renovation/Replacement Project located at 3401 Monroe Street for an estimated cost range of $22 million up to $24 million, adjusted annually by the percentage increase in the regional construction cost index? This measure requires approval of a simple majority (50% plus 1) of those voting on the measure. Full text of this measure follows the argument. CITY ATTORNEY IMPARTIAL ANALYSIS The City Council placed this measure on the ballot seeking voter approval to spend more than $1 million of city funds for improvements to the Monroe Street Pool located at 3401 Monroe Street. The estimated cost of the improvements is $22 million to $24 million. A majority vote would authorize, but not require, the expenditure of up to $24 million for the improvements. The authorized amount would be adjusted annually for inflation by the percentage increase in the regional construction cost index. A “yes” vote means you authorize the City Council to approve spending up to $24 million in city funds, adjusted annually for inflation, for improvements to the Monroe Street Pool. A “no” vote means you do not authorize the City Council to approve spending up to $24 million in city funds, adjusted annually for inflation, for improvements to the Monroe Street Pool. The measure requires approval by a simple majority (50% plus one vote) to pass. WHY A VOTE IS REQUIRED: In 1982, Carlsbad citizens passed Proposition H (now found in Carlsbad Municipal Code Chapter 1.24), which prohibits the city from spending more than $1 million in city funds for real property improvements, other than for routine maintenance and repairs, unless the proposed improvement project and the cost in city funds is first placed on the ballot and approved by a majority of the voters. “City funds” primarily refer to General Fund money derived from citywide general taxes. “City funds” do not include money derived from developer fees or from city enterprises, such as the golf course and water district. THE PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS TO MONROE STREET POOL: The existing Monroe Street Pool, which was built in 1982, includes a 25-yard by 25-meter pool, equipment room, and locker room building. The proposed improvements will: • Expand the pool, pool deck, bleachers, parking lot and shade • Add family restrooms, exterior deck showers, new entrances, a new building and mechanical room, and a new 8-foot wall to reduce sound coming from the pool • Renovate the locker rooms, reconfigure the lobby and meeting room, and replace pool tile, piping, drains, pumps and filters • Make other energy efficiency and building code upgrades The City Council approved the concept for the proposed improvements at its January 21, 2021, meeting. Details regarding the proposed improvements may be found on the city’s website at www.carlsbadca.gov. SD 320-092 PR-ZZ002J-2-ENG CITY ATTORNEY IMPARTIAL ANALYSIS (CONTINUED) The estimated cost of the improvements is $22 to $24 million. The exact cost will be determined through the design, permitting, budgeting and construction contracting process. The amount of the authorized expenditure will be adjusted annually by the percentage increase in the regional construction cost index. /s/ Cindie K. McMahon Cindie K.

SD 320-093 PR-ZZ002J-3-ENG ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF MEASURE J For 40 years, the City of Carlsbad’s Monroe Street Pool facility located at 3401 Monroe Street has provided Carlsbad residents of all ages an amenity for recreation, lessons and water safety classes. The Monroe Street Pool has brought years of enjoyment to the entire community. It’s time to expand and improve Monroe Street Pool Constructed in 1982, the Monroe Street Pool facility includes a 25-yard by 25-meter pool, equipment room and locker room. Given its age and use, the Monroe Street Pool facility is now in need of significant renovation and expansion worthy of your consideration. The City of Carlsbad can either continue to make costly annual repairs to Monroe Street Pool’s aging infrastructure or can invest in the facility and renovate and expand the pool into something special for residents to enjoy for another 40 years. An expanded pool and an energy efficient facility is a win for all residents Measure J will: • Expand the pool from 25 to 33 meters (50% increase in lanes) • Expand the pool deck, bleachers, parking lot and provide needed shade • Add family restrooms, exterior showers, a new building and mechanical room and sound reducing improvements • Renovate the locker rooms and replace tile, piping, drains, pumps and filters • Make energy efficient and building code upgrades As a voter it’s YOUR CHOICE whether the city renovates and expands Monroe Street Pool The City of Carlsbad is prohibited from spending more than $1 million in city funds for real property improvements - other than for replacement, repair, maintenance and routine refurbishment of existing facilities - unless the proposed project and cost in city funds is first approved by voters. The current estimated project cost to renovate and expand Monroe Street Pool is $22 to $24 million.
