SUMMARY
Staff presented the City of Chula Vista Public Safety Staffing Report at the September 26, 2017 City Council meeting and the Public Safety Staffing Strategies report and public opinion survey results at the December 19, 2017 City Council meeting. At the December 19 meeting, the City Council directed the City Manager to report back regarding options and recommendations for placing a half-cent sales tax measure to support public safety and public services on the June or November 2018 ballot.
Staff secured consultant assistance from TBWB and True North Research to develop and conduct a survey in November 2017 to determine voter interest in supporting a general sales tax measure to provide funding for public safety and public services. The agreement also required TBWB and True North Research to analyze results and provide a report to staff and the City Council regarding the survey results. Staff recommends conducting an additional public opinion survey to determine the feasibility of a half-cent sales tax measure on the same ballot as a potential excise tax in Chula Vista for cannabis.
