New sales tax, extension of existing parcel tax on Clayton’s ballot for November

Residents in Clayton will consider two separate tax measures on their ballots in November — a new sales tax and the extension of an existing parcel tax.

Measure M proposes a one-cent sales tax that would generate an estimated $1 million annually for general city services and would be the first sales tax increase in the city’s 62-year history, while Measure N would extend a parcel tax for 10 years to fund trail maintenance, roadway landscaping, open space weed abatement and other fire mitigation measures.
