Legal counsel: supermajority needed only for large tax hikes; transcript contains inconsistent phrasing

Commissioner Ford asked what vote threshold the charter requires if the commission seeks to increase the tax rate after a rollback. Legislative counsel addressed the question on the record: "The charter only requires the super majority vote if you are increasing the tax rate by 10¢ or more from the previous year," counsel said. Later counsel restated the threshold as a percentage while answering, saying an increase of over 10% (which the speaker estimated at about 33.9¢ based on the current $3.39 rate) would trigger the supermajority requirement.
