Hold advisory vote on how to spend soda tax revenue
In Plain English
The city collects fees from businesses that sell sugary drinks like soda and energy drinks. This advisory vote asks residents whether they want that money spent on childhood obesity prevention programs. The vote is non-binding, meaning the city council can still choose how to spend the funds regardless of the outcome.
