Proposed Cigarette Litter Abatement Tax
COUNCILMEMBER-REQUESTED ITEM TITLE
Discuss and Considering Providing Direction to the City Manager, City Clerk, and City Attorney to Prepare Necessary Documents to Propose a Cigarette Litter Abatement Tax
DISCUSSION
In response to Santa Ana’s budget deficit projections due to the sunset of Measure X, we would like for our City to introduce a measure on the November ballot that would charge the tobacco industry a fee, per pack sold, for litter removal to alleviate budget woes.
