West Hollywood : Session on Spending Cuts
- Share via
The West Hollywood City Council will hold a special meeting March 30 to discuss spending cuts before considering new taxes as a way to close an anticipated $1.7-million deficit next year.
Already under fire from tax foes, the council Monday put off taking the first step toward establishing a utility tax and raising its hotel levy until after the meeting.
The meeting will be held at 7 p.m. in Fiesta Hall at Plummer Park.
City Manager Paul Brotzman said he has drawn up a preliminary list of possible cutbacks to cover the projected shortfall, which he blamed mainly on expected losses in state revenues.
If cuts do not close the gap, the council will go ahead with plans to open hearings on a new utility tax, a higher hotel tax or both.
