Dear City Council Members,
8e - I protest a tax increase and encourage you to consider the many
negative ramifications of passing it. With gas, food, childcare, and other
items at an all-time high, this will only further hurt the hard-working families
that make up this community. Tourism isn't high enough to justify a 1% tax,
especially with fewer and fewer events occurring and gas prices.
9c - I also protest this resolution and encourage you, again, to stop passing
items that only hurt the community in which you serve. ADUs serve as a
great way for families to help each other. With your proposal, if I wanted to
add an ADU for in-laws or adult children, I’d have to provide an offsite
parking space. With the propose “street diet” for my street, we will lose ALL
parking in front of our home. It’s a silly loop that needs to be considered.
Please stop adding hotels that we do not want and do not need. Clearly the
TOT isn’t paying for roads, and we don’t have adequate water supplies and
we’re in a drought.
A. Miller
