A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
MOORPARK, CALIFORNIA, OPPOSING BALLOT
INITIATIVE #21-0042A1 AND JOINING THE 'NO ON
INITIATIVE #21-0042A1' COALITION
WHEREAS, the California Business Roundtable has filed proposed ballot
initiative #21-0042A1, seeking to be included on the November 2022 statewide ballot;
and
WHEREAS, the measure creates new constitutional loopholes that allow
corporations to pay far less than their fair share for the impacts they have on our
communities, including local infrastructure, our environment, water quality, air quality,
and natural resources; and
WHEREAS, the measure includes undemocratic provisions that would make it
more difficult for local voters to pass measures needed to fund local services and
infrastructure, and would limit voter input by prohibiting local advisory measures where
voters provide direction on how they want their local tax dollars spent; and
WHEREAS, the measure makes it much more difficult for state and local
regulators to issue fines and levies on corporations that violate laws intended to protect
our environment, public health and safety, and our neighborhoods; and
WHEREAS, the measure puts billions of dollars currently dedicated to state and
local services at risk, and could force cuts to public schools, fire and emergency
response, law enforcement, public health, parks, libraries, affordable housing, services
to support homeless residents, mental health services, and more; and
WHEREAS, the measure would also reduce funding for critical infrastructure like
streets and roads, public transportation, drinking water, new schools, sanitation, and
utilities.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MOORPARK
DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The City of Moorpark opposes Initiative #21-0042A1.
SECTION 2. The City of Moorpark will join the 'No on Initiative #21-0042A1'

advocates, and other organizations throughout the state.

California Cities at BallotMeasures(a�calcities.orq.
