CLEARLAKE, Calif. – The Clearlake City Council will hold a community town hall to discuss another potential sales tax measure this Saturday, April 12.

The workshop will take place from 10 a.m. to noon at the Clearlake Community Senior Center, 3245 Bowers Ave.

The gathering is for the purpose of discussing whether the city should proceed with a sales tax measure – for roads, for code enforcement or for both – on the November ballot.

The council recently decided to hold the weekend town hall specifically to gather community input on a new sales tax measure.

Two similar measures failed in November 2012 and November 2013, as Lake County News has reported.

Discussion topics will include whether there should be a new tax effort; if so, should it be code enforcement, roads or both; should it be a specific tax, which requires a supermajority of 66 percent – like the two measures that failed previously – or a general tax that needs a simple majority; and if it should be a 1-percent or half-percent tax.
