The question estimates $4.8 million annually until ended by voters. Revenue would enter the city’s General Fund for general services, with audits and spending disclosure.

Official ballot question

Without taxing residents, and to support general city services such as 911/police response; protect local drinking water sources; retain/attract local businesses; shall the measure be adopted to reform City of Chino’s outdated business license ordinance with rates of $0.60 - $1.50 per $1,000 of gross receipts for larger businesses based on business category; and only $25 for smaller businesses (under $75,000), generating approximately $4,800,000 annually until ended by voters; with audits, spending disclosure, funds locally controlled?
