The authority to levy the tax imposed by this chapter shall be extended ten years
from the initial expiration date of ten years from the operative date and shall expire
at the conclusion of the ten-year extension, unless the city council ("city council")
of the City of Delano ("city"), prior to the extended expiration date, determines
that the levy and collection of the voter-approved sales tax is no longer necessary,
in which case the city council has the authority to reduce the rate of sales tax (in
the incremental amounts provided by law), or to terminate the imposition of the sales
tax. The city shall immediately notify the State Board of Equalization in writing
in the event that the tax is reduced or terminated. The operative date of such rate
reduction or termination shall be the first day of the first calendar quarter commencing
more than one hundred ten days after the State Board of Equalization receives such
notice of termination.
