Subject:\[EXTERNAL\] Gate Tax - Item 12

Hello,
My name is Daisy Chávez. I am a resident of Anaheim's 5th District.
I am writing in support of agenda item #12, a gate tax for venues of 15,000+ capacity in the City of Anaheim.
I support this initiative, proposed by Council member Moreno because it will greatly benefit residents. Revenue will go to
much-needed services such especially street maintenance, youth services, senior services, and parks.
The city was identified as high risk for financial distress by the California state auditor's office in 2021. In order to balance
the City budget, the City needs to find additional sources of revenue beyond the TOT (transient occupancy tax) and
property tax. It is a common sense decision.
I urge the City Council to vote yes on item #12 to allow the people of Anaheim to vote on a Gate Tax on the November
2022 ballot.
Let us, the people, decide for ourselves.
Kindest Regards,
Daisy Chávez
