Why This Vote Matters

The council unanimously approved setting the pension fund property tax rate at 14 cents per $100 of assessed property value for 2005-2006. This separate tax funds city employee pensions and will cost the owner of a $300,000 home $420 per year. Councilmember McLaughlin abstained from voting, while Councilmember Viramontes was absent. This was part of routine budget approval as the council continues its pattern of broad support for budget items.
