Newsletter - Lafayette Chamber Of Commerce
March/April 2016CHAMBER OF COMMERCENewsletterCreating a strong local economy Promoting the community Providing networking opportunities Representing the interests of business with governmentSales Tax Study Moves ForwardTom Steuber Selectedas Lafayette’sCitizen of the YearOur City Council approved funds at its first meeting in February tohire a consultant to check in with our residents to test their appetitefor placing a sales tax measure on the November ballot. The SalesTax Revenue Committee has been meeting for several months and recommended to the council to move forward. With current revenue sourcesin place the city will be able to meet its obligations for the next 10 years.However, if the city wants to accomplish any of the priorities that werediscussed during last year’s “Community Conversations” such as OpenSpace Preservation, additional Crime Surveillance, Saving the Park Theater, Parking Gargages, etc, it will take a new source of revenue. If the citydoes not act on passing a measure for additional “local” sales tax now, itmay lose that opportunity if other agencies come forward, pass a sales taxand reach the cap of 9.5%. The Chamber is represented on the committeeand will be reaching out to our members soon to understand your positionon this issue.The Lafayette Chamber is proud to present this special award every year alongwith co-sponsor Lamorinda Weekly.Each year we solicit nominations and asmall committee has the difficult task ofpicking the winner. Sometimes campaignsare launched and we are flooded with letters recommending theirchoices.
