How Should Albany Spend Money Raised From Beverage Tax?

ALBANY, CA — In November 2016 the City of Albany voters approved Measure O1, a tax on sugar sweetened beverages. In accordance with the ordinance establishing the tax measure, the City Council holds an annual study session to receive input and recommendations regarding the expenditure of proceeds from the tax.

We would love for you to be involved, so please join us for a study session on Monday, April 1, 2019 at 6 PM at the Albany City Hall City Council Chambers, 1000 San Pablo Avenue, Albany.

The Council will be soliciting further input via a public comment period on the draft sugar-sweetened beverage tax expenditure plan following the study session. Stay tuned for more details on dates and ways to continue to provide your input on the expenditure of proceeds from the sugar-sweetened beverage tax.
