Pasadena Council Weighs Five Tax Options For November Ballot
No tax has been created yet: the council only reviewed revenue options for the General Fund.
- Five options on the table: sales, parcel, transfer, parking and business taxes.
- Item 16 came before the council on July 13, 2026, laying out the choices.
- Staff must draft resolutions placing one or more measures on the ballot, subject to voter approval.
Why it matters: The ballot lets a city council raise money without owning the choice to raise it.
