CLEARLAKE, Calif. – The Clearlake City Council will hold a special meeting to get a report on the sales tax measure it has approved placing on the June ballot.
The meeting will take place beginning at 4 p.m. Thursday, March 6, in the council chambers at Clearlake City Hall, 14050 Olympic Drive.
The council will meet to discuss a report by City Manager Joan Phillipe and City Attorney Malathy Subramanian on the proposed 1-percent general sales tax measure approved by the council at its Feb. 27 meeting.
Phillipe and Subramanian also will report on the city's ability to put the tax on the June 3 ballot.
A general tax would simply need a majority vote to become law. Two previous specific tax measures, Measure G and Measure H, failed in November 2012 and November 2013, respectively, after falling short of the needed 66 percent supermajority vote, as Lake County News has reported.
