City Clerk's Council and Committee Votes · reviewed Oct 29, 2026Why this decision is included
A substantive distribution choice between property classes. It remains unscored on the borrowing measure because tax incidence and debt authority are different questions.
How votes are grouped: Choices within this annual budget share one family per measure. Separate amendments and duplicate tabulations cannot multiply the budget’s influence; unscored choices add no weight.
What Yes meant
Approve this phased tax-share direction for the next budget cycle.
What No meant
Reject this proposed distribution of tax share.
Alternatives and outcome
Retain the existing distribution or adopt a different path for allocating property taxes between classes.
Council adopted the direction. This distributes the tax burden between property classes; it does not by itself set total municipal spending.

Only reviewed policy choices are scored. Each independent decision family counts once per measure; choices within one budget or policy package share that family’s weight. statements, promises, absences and contextual amendments do not contribute. Two decisions are the minimum for a position. The sensitivity range shows the score after removing one decision at a time; it is not a statistical confidence interval or a prediction.
