Mountain View City Council · City Council on 2026-06-09 5:30 PM - JOINT MEETING OF CITY COUNCIL (REGULAR), SHORELINE REGIONAL PARK COMMUNITY (SPECIAL), AND CITY OF MOUNTAIN VIEW CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS FINANCING AUTHORITY (REGULAR) - Jun 09, 2026 · 9 Jun 2026 meeting

We've had the business licenses.

We did a new funding study to evaluate, I mean, a fee study.

We did a new fee study to evaluate

what was appropriate in terms of charging people fees for services that we provide, particularly with respect to development.

And some of those fees went up a lot, which was appropriate because they hadn't been changed, I mean, some of them hadn't been touched in 20 years or so, so there's been a lot of inflation over that time.

And then we are also working to bring new businesses to our community.

One that we're all looking forward to for many reasons will be the new Toyota dealership,

open stores in a few years and I think that will help our sales tax revenue go up.

So all of these things do add together and I would also say that considering the

the windfall nature of the UTT is really an interesting idea because it, in a sense, it's sort of an internal collaboration between our desire to meet our climate goals, i.e., reduce our greenhouse gas emissions, the less

the less gas is used, nothing gas is used, the less greenhouse gas emissions we produce, the closer we are to meeting our standards.

And at the same time, while gas gets more expensive,

we can utilize that money to help people do things that reduce their greenhouse gases locally, like getting a heat pump, or buy an electric car,

other things that might help.

Plant lots of trees.

I mean, there are many things we've heard that would be valuable.

So I thought that was a really good suggestion.

But mostly, I just wanna say thank you, and I appreciate the time and effort that's gone into this, and I also appreciate how you keep reorganizing this, and it keeps getting better.

And having been reading these for 10 years now,

I couldn't agree more with my colleague, Council Member Ramirez.
