REPORT - OPPOSITION TO INITIATIVE 21-0042A1 (Taxpayer  
Protection and Government Accountability Act)  
BACKGROUND: A statewide initiative entitled “Taxpayer Protection and  
Government Accountability Act” has been proposed for placement on  
the ballot for the November, 2022 election. The proposed measure  
would limit the ability of the state and of local governments to impose  
taxes, fees and other charges and would restrict voter input on how  
local tax dollars can be spent. If passed, the measure would make it  
harder to maintain or raise needed revenues and could result in  
significantly reduced resources for City needs. The League of California  
Cities (Cal Cities) opposes the measure and is encouraging its  
members of Cal Cities to oppose the measure as well. City staff concur  
with the Cal Cities recommendation.  
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Communications &  
Intergovernmental Relations Office that the Council, by resolution,  
oppose Initiative 21-0042A1, a proposed statewide ballot measure.

was received by the City Clerk’s office, which was two days after the

ordinances 3249 and 3516, respectively prohibiting skating activities  
and scooters on sidewalks and streets within the specified downtown  
area, the specified Railroad Square area, in shopping centers and other  
specified areas of public property.  
The project includes an amendment to the Santa Rosa Health and  
Safety Code Chapter 9-22 to allow for the shared scooter system pilot

pilot program to operate on public streets, public alleys, and public  
gutters - 9-22.020 (D) Prohibition. These devices will still be prohibited  
on sidewalks per the existing ordinance; and  
• Broadening scooter definition to include motorized scooters - 9-  
22.040(D) Definitions  
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Transportation and  
Public Works Department that the Council introduce an ordinance to  
amend City Code Chapter 9-22 -Bicycles, Skateboards, Roller Skates,
