Tax rate teeters at 2.0 after week of hearings
Lompoc records show the 1969-70 county tax rate hovering around the $2.37 mark after a week of public hearings on the proposed $45.9 million budget. The Board of Supervisors defeated several special budget requests while approving a $36,000 emergency fund for Alpha School and a $295,000 revenue adjustment for state flood costs. The panel also rejected moves to divert road funds, and raised the county library budget by 10 percent amid inflation concerns.
