SUMMARY
California Proposition 6, entitled the Voter Approval for Future Gas and Vehicle Taxes and 2017 Tax Repeal Initiative, is on the November 6, 2018 ballot as a voter initiated constitutional amendment. If successful, this ballot initiative will repeal the gas and diesel tax increases and vehicle fees that were enacted in 2017, impacting a broad range of local, regional, and state level transportation infrastructure development and maintenance projects. Because of the significant negative impact this proposition will have on the Hayward community, staff recommends that the Hayward City Council adopts a resolution opposing California Proposition 6.
