CITY MANAGER
City Manager Birkelo reviewed a
proposal to submit a Special Tax
Proposition based on parcels in
South San Francisco regardless of
the parcel's use and said the City
Attorney had a problem with that
in that a special tax based on
residential dwelling units has a
better chance of being sustained
by the Courts. He stated that the
following was the redraft of the
Proposal: "Shall the City of South
San Francisco levy a Special Tax
not to exceed $20.00 per year for
a period not to exceed twenty years
on each residential dwelling unit
in the City for the purpose of
restoring Magnolia Center and fund-
ing of related debt service require-
ments."
