City Council <br />Meeting Minutes <br />June 16, 2020 <br />Page 12 of 13 <br />Councilmember Brown stated he supports a climate tax but that is hard to do without <br />knowing how Xcel will respond to that. <br />Public Comments <br />RJ Harrington, stated his experience is this is a good move forward. He supports a <br />climate tax that is capped and it should be reviewed annually as things change. He feels it <br />should start immediately and have an end date. This is the fastest way to get where we <br />need to go. <br />Councilmember Dickinson stated the residents showed strong support for this in the <br />survey and we should do this. Councilmember Leh agreed. <br />Members agreed to move forward with ballot language for a climate tax that has a cap on <br />it and also that it start in January 2021 and that it end in 2030. <br />Mayor Stolzmann noted there are a lot of things to be worked out on this and that may <br />make it difficult to do quickly enough to get it on the ballot this year. <br />CITY ATTORNEY'S REPORT <br />dim <br />COUNCIL COMMENTS, COMMITTEE REPORTS, AND IDENTIFICATION OF FUTURE <br />AGENDA ITEMS <br />ECONOMIC VITALITY COMMITTEE — no report <br />FINANCE COMMITTEE — no report <br />LEGAL REVIEW COMMITTEE — no report <br />UTILITY COMMITTEE — no report <br />COLORADO COMMUNITIES FOR CLIMATE ACTION — CC4CA is updating their policy <br />statement and that will come to Council for approval at a later date. <br />COMMUTING SOLUTIONS — no report <br />CONSORTIUM OF CITIES — no report <br />DOWNTOWN BUSINESS ASSOCIATION STREET FAIRE — no report <br />DENVER REGIONAL COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS — no report <br />
