Letter supporting legislation clarifying the power of Joint Powers Authorities to levy a fee or tax.

Advocacy Letter

SPUR writes in favor of Assembly Bill 2170, introduced by Assemblymember Kevin Mullin on February 20, 2014. The bill clarifies the power of Joint Powers Authorities (JPAs) to levy a fee or tax, in order to ensure that JPAs may increase revenue for important community projects while remaining subject to all voter approval requirements.
