(Johnson) El Town Manager Johnson reminded the Council that at the June Council Meeting they approved Resolution 232tto hold a special election on NovemberT for the public safety parceltax. Since that time, new information regarding the cost of holding a special election has become available and other Marin County jurisdictions have decided not to place measures on the ballot in November increasing the cost to the Town of Ross should they participate.
Therefore, it is recommended that the renewalof the public safety parceltax be placed on the March 5,2024 ballot instead.
