PORT HUENEME : Public Hearing to Weigh Utility Tax
Port Hueneme City Council will hold a public hearing Wednesday night on a proposed utility tax to raise the $500,000 a year the city needs to maintain its 19-officer Police Department.
To be implemented by the end of the year, the utility tax would be tacked onto bills for water, electricity, gas and cable television.
The council voted to approve an initial version of the utility tax in July after a property tax measure fell just shy of the two-thirds majority needed for approval in the June 7 election.
