FORKS — The City Council has thrown its support behind putting an emergency services tax to Clallam County voters later this year.
The council on Monday night passed a resolution in support of a proposed 1/10th of 1 percent sales tax increase, from 8.2 percent to 8.3 percent, to fund police, fire and medical emergency dispatching in the county.
The city councils of Sequim and Port Angeles also support putting the measure on the ballot.
With approval from all three of the county’s municipalities, county commissioners will now consider adding the measure to the Nov. 4 ballot.
