Sales Tax Sharing Acireement Assistant City Manager Woody Edvalson presented the staff report. Deputy City Attorney Naomi Silverglide distributed the Draft Sales Tax Sharing Agreement to the Councilmembers and advised that Paragraph 4 will be amended to read "any business proposed to be located in the Murrieta Springs Mail". Mayor Muiioz stated that the agreement is not in final form and there are a number of details that still need to be worked out, however, the objective of the two Councils is to show that each will no longer compete with the other for big box users. Councilmember Parks expressed opposition to the agreement and suggested that the two Councils agree not to compete rather than entering into a formal sales tax sharing agreement. Mayor Peery stated that he was in support of the proposal by Mayor Mufioz. Councilmember Birdsall suggested that the two City Councils could agree not to compete, without an agreement to share sales tax. Councilmember Birdsall added that she is concerned with expending money to go to the public for a vote on the agreement. Councilmember Stone stated he would much rather share sales tax with a participating City, than give the money to a large corporation to get them to come to Temecula. Councilmember Stone stated that he feels the agreement should also cover other incentives. Councilmember Gary Smith suggested that the big box user could play the cities against each other for other incentives such as: road improvements, flood control, etc. Councilmember Parks stated that he strongly opposed the elimination of sales tax rebates as a bargaining tool. Councilmember Allen stated that he is not comfortable with an agreement to share sales tax, however would support an agreement not to compete.

Councilmember Walsh stated that he sees validity to the concerns expressed by Councilmember Parks, however he feels that the agreement has validity as well. Mayor Pro Tem Roberts stated that he feels the agreement needs some additional work, but it offers a very innovative solution to the problem. Deputy City Attorney Naomi Silverglide advised that the proposed agreement had been revised to concur with the agreement approved by the City of Temecula City Council by the addition of Paragraph 3 and revised Paragraph 4. Assistant City Manager Woody Edvalson clarified that the way the resolution reads and has been adopted by the two Councils it would require a vote of the electoral. If that is not the intent of the Councils, then both Councils will have to agree to amend the resolution as it relates to requiring a vote.
