Recommendation to request City Attorney to draft a resolution in support of Assembly Bill 88, California Legislature - 2015-2016 Regular Session.
Motion carries seven zero. Item number 19. Communication from Councilwoman Mongeau. Councilman Austin and Councilmember Richardson. Recommendation to request City Attorney to draft a resolution in support of Assembly Bill 88. California Legislature 2015 2016. Regular Session. Yes, Councilwoman Michael. I appreciate that the council is stepping away from our traditional process of going through our state pledge committee because of the timing of this. And there isn't another state large committee meeting before then. But I think that this Assembly bill is an important opportunity for our low income communities to replace their appliances with water efficient appliances through a partnership with the utility companies. And it does not seem as though there would be a loss of revenue to the city in sales tax revenue because they would not have otherwise purchased those appliances because they cannot afford them. So I hope that I have the support of my colleagues. Thank you. It must come to pass. Yes. And I want to thank Councilmember Mongo for bringing this forth. Yes, I'm on the state lands committee. We do have a pretty robust agenda. But this is a good bill that should be supported. It has a negligible impact on our sales tax revenue for the city, but will have a great benefit for many low income constituents who take advantage of this this city pass. And it seems to have pretty strong support from our local legislators today. So I'd also encourage us our support on this as well. Thank you. Councilman Orson. Is there any public comment on this? If not, take a vote. Motion carries seven zero. No new business. I would go first, but I'm going to be cordial and go last because I am pro-tem mayor today. Okay. That's Mr. Turanga.
