County Tax Cut Planned Amid Higher Assessments and Budgets
County supervisors got a preview of the next fiscal year's tentative budget totaling 1644 million dollars over the current amount. A potential tax cut is discussed but experts say higher property assessment values will limit relief for many taxpayers. County administrator Arthur J. Will estimates a tax rate of 1.8840 per 100 assessed value, versus the present 2.118. The budget rising 16 percent funds higher wages, building accounts, courthouse costs, a proposed Exposition Park museum auditorium, and the Marina del Rey small boat harbor. The relief case road is down for the first time in years, with a cut of 6.79 million, while relief outlay remains about 179 million.
