Agendas for meetings will be posted in Piedmont City Hall and the Piedmont Police Department at least 72 hours prior to each meeting. Copies of all agendas may be requested from the office of the City Clerk, 120 Vista Avenue, Piedmont, by calling 510-420-3040, or going to http://www.ci.piedmont.ca.us.
Per the staff report, the issue before the Council on Sept. 6 is discussion, rather than selection, of the parcel tax ballot date. Should the Council wish to place the parcel tax on the Feb. 7 ballot, the Council must conduct the first reading on September 19th and the second reading on October 3rd in order to meet the deadline. It is my hope that the Council will seriously consider the Municipal Tax Review Committee’s unanimous recommendation to postpone the parcel tax vote until June so that needed reforms can be implemented.
