Pinole explores revenue options and possible local cannabis ordinance after resident survey

Mayor Anthony Tave said the City of Pinole is exploring potential revenue options to support long-term community needs, citing results from a resident survey conducted in March. He named three options mentioned in the survey: an infrastructure bond, a parcel tax and an adjustment to the local sales tax.

Tave also said the city is considering the possibility of establishing a local cannabis ordinance. He described these discussions as part of the city's ongoing budget-development process and said staff and city leadership will continue work in the months ahead to evaluate options and next steps.

The mayor did not provide a timeline for any ordinance or ballot measure, nor did he give cost estimates or survey response rates. He presented the items as options under consideration rather than finalized proposals.
