The Chargers late Friday gave San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer a 33-page response to his long list of questions presented on April 15 about the team’s ballot initiative, which would raise hotel taxes to build and operate a downtown stadium and convention center.
Noting that the mayor asked whether the city’s general fund would be placed at risk, the team said the initiative “would not impose any obligation on the city to pay for operations and maintenance and capital costs for the convention center expansion and stadium out of the general fund.”
Other parts of the letter said the stadium’s primary tenant (the initiative doesn’t mention the Chargers by name) would pay enough rent to cover costs attributable to professional football events.
