Meaning of Voting Yes/No

A YES vote on this measure means:

A "yes" vote on Measure U would adopt the Ordinance described above.

A NO vote on this measure means:

A "no" vote on Measure U would mean that the Ordinance described above is not adopted.

Measure U proposes the adoption of an Ordinance of the City of Santee which would (1) increase the TOT from 6% to 10%; (2) amend certain definitions to clarify that the TOT applies to campsites, online travel companies, and may apply to the first thirty days of an occupancy longer than thirty days; and (3) require a person who seeks to challenge the assessment or collection of the TOT to first pay the TOT and follow certain administrative procedures before filing a lawsuit.

The proposed TOT is a general tax and may be used for any general governmental purpose of the City, such as law enforcement and fire protection; crime, gang, and drug prevention; street maintenance; graffiti removal; and maintenance of parks and sports fields. In order for the City to adopt the Ordinance amending its Municipal Code and authorizing the increase in the rate of the TOT described above, Measure "U" must be approved by a majority vote of the votes cast on the measure.
