Submitted by Mayor Pro Tem Van Der Mark and Councilmember McKeon - Proposed Charter Amendment - City of Huntington Beach Real Property - Property Tax

body

 

Recommended Action:

recommendation

1.                     Consider proposing an amendment to the City Charter that would restrict City Councils from engaging in real property transactions that would require the City of Huntington Beach to forgo regularly collected property taxes on investment property, unless those purchases are approved by the voters of the City of Huntington Beach.  Exceptions to this rule would/may include real property transactions that are important for acquisition of private property for infrastructure.  Request the Charter Review Ad Hoc Committee propose parameters, language, and timing of the Charter amendment measure for Council consideration.

 

2.                     Direct the City Manager to come back with a system for the City to have a Real Property Leasing, Purchasing, and Disposition Policy and a centralized Real Property function.
