At its July 20, 2021, regular council meeting, the City Council placed on the agenda a discussion of a charter amendment which would prohibit the Council from enacting a local income tax.

The Charter currently contains language that requires that any new councilmanic tax must be adopted only by a minimum affirmative vote of five members of the City Council (Article VII, Section 2).  As such, a super majority is currently necessary before any new tax can be imposed.
