RESOLUTION NO. 02-2024
A RESOLUTION OF THE TOWN COUNCIL OF THE TOWN OF TIBURON
OPPOSING INITIATIVE 21-0042A1
WHEREAS, an association representing California’s wealthiest corporations and developers is
spending millions to push a deceptive proposition aimed for the November 2024 statewide
ballot; and
WHEREAS, the measure includes undemocratic provisions that would make it more difficult
for local voters to pass measures needed to fund local services and infrastructure, and would
limit voter input by prohibiting local advisory measures where voters provide direction on how
they want their local tax dollars spent; and
WHEREAS, the measure creates new constitutional loopholes that allow corporations to pay far
less than their fair share for the impacts they have on our communities, including local
infrastructure and our environment; and
WHEREAS, the measure may make it much more difficult for state and local regulators to issue
fines and levies on corporations that violate laws intended to protect our environment, public
health and safety, and our neighborhoods; and
WHEREAS, the measure puts billions of dollars currently dedicated to local services at risk and
could force cuts to fire and emergency response, law enforcement, public health, parks, libraries,
affordable housing, services to support homeless residents, mental health services, and more; and
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Town of Tiburon opposes Initiative 21-0042A1;
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Town of Tiburon will join the No on Initiative 21-
0042A1 coalition, a growing coalition of public safety, education, labor, local government, and
infrastructure groups throughout the state and directs staff to email a copy of this adopted
resolution to the League of California Cities at BallotMeasures@calcities.org.
