After voting in May to put a sales tax hike on the ballot this fall, the Los Gatos Town Council has yet to make up their mind on how to present it to the voters.

The council last month voted to put a one-eighth cent “specific tax” on the ballot in November, meaning the roughly $1 million in revenue raised from the measure would fund specific budget items under the town’s purview like wildfire prevention. But after extensive discussion at their June 18 meeting and consultation with the town attorney, council members instead voted against putting a specific tax on the ballot and called a special meeting in July to discuss a general tax instead.
