Utility User Tax - Ordinance
Show All Answers
1.
Is the utility user tax new?
No. Measure K, establishing a Utility User Tax for the City of Menlo Park, was passed in the General Election of November 7, 2006.
2.
What is the purpose of the tax?
The purpose of the UUT is to support valuable services within the City's General Fund. Proceeds of the tax helps fund general city services including police, emergency preparedness, street and storm drain maintenance, and libraries.
3.
Will the tax ever be increased?
The utility user tax cannot be increased without the voter-approved passage of a new ordinance. However, the City Council has previously reduced the tax percentage temporarily upon annual review as part of the budget process. This reduction is implemented if it is determined that the reduction will not adversely affect the city's financial health.
