Proposition E: Allowing long-term leasing of parkland
Have you heard? We're having a City Charter election on May 7, and we want YOU to be educated and engaged in this election. Our City's Communications team put these educational materials together for Victoria residents to better learn about the 14 proposed amendments to the City Charter.
Here is a closer look at Proposition E, which is just one of the 14 proposed amendments you will see on the ballot in May 7 City Charter Election! Make your voice heard!
How it appears on the ballot:
Amending the Charter of the City of Victoria to authorize leases or conveyances of parkland be conducted consistent with the requirements of state law.
What it means:
Under the current charter, the City cannot lease space in public parks for more than 20 years at a time. This means that businesses and other private entities that want to operate within City parks cannot be guaranteed a lease of more than 20 years.
This amendment would allow park spaces to be leased for more than 20 years at a time. It would also remove some redundant restrictions on the sale and leasing of parkland, since these restrictions already appear in state law.
