Question 12: Funding Flexibility

Official ballot wording

Should the Revised City Charter be amended to allow the Clean Water and Natural Lands Fund, Affordable Housing Fund, Climate Resiliency Fund, and other funds established under Section 9-204 to receive funding from federal, state, philanthropic, and other sources?

Official explanation

Present situation: The Charter establishes several special funds that receive dedicated real property tax revenues. However, it does not expressly authorize these funds to accept additional revenue from sources such as federal or state grants, private donations, or philanthropic organizations. If proposal passes: The special funds established under Section 9-204 could receive funding from federal, state, philanthropic, and other authorized sources in addition to their existing dedicated funding.
