Issue subpoena to force Chevron to provide tax audit records

Chevron & the RefineryLitigationCity Manager's Office

Resolution Resolution No. 40-25

In Plain English

Chevron pays business license taxes to the city under voter-approved Measure U but has refused multiple requests for financial records needed to audit their 2025 tax payments. The city received Chevron's initial payment in December 2024 and a second payment in April 2025. If approved, the subpoena legally compels Chevron to provide the records or face court enforcement.
