Bradbury Residents to Vote on Utility Tax

By Susan Motander
Bradbury Voters will not be selecting new council members in the upcoming election as only one person per council district has filed. The voters will be asked to make a decision regarding a new utility tax. A Yes Vote would appove a new Ordinance which would impose a “Utility Users Tax of between 1% and 8.75% (the first year being 8.4%) in order to maintain essential general city services and meet the obligations of State and Federal Mandates, establish exemptions for low and very low income households inhabited by at least one senior citizen or disabled person receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI), and automatically terminating in five (5) years.”
In essence, the measure would give the city of Bradbury the funds necessary to maintain the operation of the city. A complete text of the proposed ordinance, Ordinance 322, is available on line at http://cityofbradbury.org by clicking on City Notices.
