   Pursuant to California Government Code section 53724 and Revenue and Taxation Code section 7285.9, this chapter was duly approved for placement on the ballot by a minimum two-thirds (2/3) supermajority of all members of the city council. This chapter relates to the levying and collecting of the city transactions and use taxes and shall take effect immediately. Pursuant to California Elections Code section 9217, this chapter shall be deemed adopted and take effect only if approved by a majority of the eligible voters of the City of Chico voting at the General Municipal Election of November 8, 2022. It shall be deemed adopted when the city council has certified the results of that election by resolution and shall take effect ten (10) days thereafter.
(Ord. 2578 (part))
3.90.170   Termination and amendment.
   The authority to levy the tax imposed by this chapter shall continue indefinitely until this chapter is repealed. The city council may amend this chapter to reduce the rate of the taxes, either permanently or for a set period of time, without a further vote of the people. However, as required by Article XIIIC of the Constitution of the State of California, no amendment to this chapter may increase the rates of the taxes above what is authorized by this chapter unless such amendment is submitted to and approved by the voters.
(Ord. 2578 (part))
