Hello,
My name is Kevin De La Rosa. I am a resident of Anaheim.
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 intiative, 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 the California state auditor 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 the 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 in the
November 2022 ballot.
Disney has raised prices right after the quarantine and has reached record profits because of this. A two percent
tax would make no impact to Disney and consumers but it will help our community.
