Impartial Analysis from City Attorney
Measure C is an advisory vote concerning the expenditure of funds from a new tax imposed on parking facilities in the City of Malibu if approved by the voters. As the Measure states, its purpose is not to increase taxes. Rather, Measure C's purpose is to indicate the general opinion of City voters as to whether any new parking occupancy tax approved by the voters shall be used to fund beach patrol, emergency preparedness and parks and recreation. Section 9603(c) of the California Elections Code governing the purpose and effect of such an advisory vote states:

". . . 'advisory vote' means an indication of general voter opinion regarding the ballot proposal. The results of the advisory vote will in no manner be controlling on the sponsoring legislative body."

The opinion expressed through the vote on this advisory Measure, while of interest to the Malibu City Council, is not in any manner legally controlling on the City Council's use of the proceeds of the parking occupancy tax.
