Lompoc Council Delays Budget Action Four Weeks
The Lompoc City Council postpones further action on the 1970 71 proposed budget for at least four weeks to resolve problems in revenue estimates. City Administrator Gene Wahlers cites population discrepancies and the threat of a state excise tax on city electric utilities as key issues. The census figure of 22 466 is far below state estimates, affecting refunds from gas taxes and licenses. A pending Assembly measure could cut about 67 000 from the city. A preliminary budget of 1 924 400 was drawn up, up 122 000 from last year, with a requested 25 cent tax rate increase.
