Background
On November 24, 2008, the Bellflower City Council unanimously voted to place Measure A on the March 2009 ballot.
The proposition asked that the city's utility user tax (UUT) be extended to include additional forms of telecommunications; the tax rate itself is not increased in Measure A. Bellflower has had a UUT since 1993.
The ballot language is:
- Shall an ordinance be adopted, without raising tax rates, to continue and modernize Bellflower's utility users' tax on telecommunications services to fund vital services, including Sheriff's services/neighborhood patrols; school safety programs; grafitti removal; gang/drug prevention/enforcement programs; after-school activities; senior/disabled residents' services; library services; and other general fund services; exempting low-income residents, requiring equal treatment of taxpayers regardless of technology used, audits, citizen oversight committee, public expenditure review/local control of revenues?
