Last year, the Hercules City Council declared a fiscal emergency and voters subsequently approved both a sales tax increase and the sale of the city's municipal utility.
Next week, the council will meet to discuss additional ways to make money.
The Hercules City Council will hold a special meeting Tuesday, with the main item being a discussion on "revenue generation ideas."
The council was scheduled to discuss the item at its meeting this week, but didn't get to the item until after 11 p.m. and opted to push it back to get more public input.
Consultant Catherine Lew spoke to possible ballot measures at last week's meeting, noting that if the council plans to try for another tax, it would have to act by March to get it on a June ballot.
