Grass Valley City Manager presented the proposed general sales tax measure as a half-percent sales tax within the City limits which he said would fund fire resiliency and vegetation management. The proposed sales tax, if sent to the voters as a measure on the ballot in March 2024 by the city council, would generate about $3.4 million dollars for the City’s general fund per year.
