The Millbrae City Council adopted a resolution calling for a General Municipal Election on Tuesday, November 8, 2022, which voters in the City Council Districts 2 and 4 voted to elect a City Councilmember from each respective district for a four-year term. In addition, all Millbrae registered voters considered a Ballot Measure to increase the Transient Occupancy Tax by 2%.

The filing period for write-in candidates was September 12, 2022 through October 25, 2022. Write-in candidates must contact the City Clerk to obtain and file Write-In Nomination Papers, the Statements of Write-In Candidacy, and other required documents between these dates.

Measure N

On July 26, 2022, the City Council adopted an ordinance amending the Municipal Code Chapter 3.30, Uniform Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT or "Hotel Tax"), increasing the TOT rate from 12% to 14%, if approved by a majority vote of the Millbrae electorate at the 2022 General Municipal Election.

The following ballot question will appear as Measure N on the 2022 election ballot:

"To continue funding, for the City of Millbrae only, that cannot be taken by Sacramento, for general city services such as: repairing potholes/streets; maintaining neighborhood/downtown police patrols; improving recreation programs/parks; attracting new businesses; and enhancing disaster response; shall a measure increasing by 2% the City of Millbrae's existing transient occupancy tax charged to hotel and lodging guests until ended by voters, providing an additional $1,500,000 annually, with citizens' oversight, independent audits, be adopted?"

Measure N Facts:

If Measure N is approved by the voters, the transient occupancy tax paid by visitors staying in Millbrae hotels and other short-term lodgings will be increased by 2% to help pay for the local services visitors use while staying in Millbrae.
The funds generated by Measure N will be controlled by Millbrae and used for local needs. The money cannot be taken by the state.
Measure N will provide additional funding that Millbrae needs to continue to keep its neighborhoods safe from crime and fire, and make our community a place where families want to live and put down roots.
Measure N will include citizens' oversight and independent audits.
