<br />June 10, 2019, Work Session – Item 2 <br />Resolution Referring a Charter Amendment Attached to this AIS as Attachment C is a Resolution referring to the voters the following Charter amendment: “Any payroll tax imposed by the City is capped at 0.0020 on total wages paid by <br />employers and 0.0040 on wages earned by employees. Revenues from a payroll tax imposed by the <br />City may only be used to fund community safety services and administration of the tax.” <br /> The purpose of the proposed Charter amendment is to allow the voters to cap the payroll tax rates and limit the use of the payroll tax revenues to funding community safety services. If approved by the voters, the Charter amendment would prohibit any increase in the payroll tax rates above 0.0020 for employers and 0.0040 for employees or any use of the payroll tax for reasons other than funding community safety services or tax administration without voters amending the Charter. Council could adopt the resolution attached as Attachment C after adopting the ordinance imposing the payroll tax. <br /> <br />PREVIOUS COUNCIL DIRECTION September 26, 2018, Work Session https://eugene.ompnetwork.org/sessions/51006?embedInPoint=134&embedOutPoint=4378&shareMethod=link February 13, 2019, Work Session https://eugene.ompnetwork.org/sessions/98151?embedInPoint=1&embedOutPoint=5617&shareMethod=link February 23, 2019, Workshop https://eugene.ompnetwork.org/sessions/99837?embedInPoint=3575&embedOutPoint=15696&shareMethod=link April 8, 2019, Work Session https://eugene.ompnetwork.org/sessions/102601?embedInPoint=1110&embedOutPoint=4356&shareMethod=link <br /> <br />May 28, 2019, Public Hearing <br />https://eugene.ompnetwork.org/sessions/107322?embedInPoint=837&embedOutPoint=9872&shareMet <br />hod=link <br /> <br /> <br />COUNCIL OPTIONS <br />1.
