Our rates are reasonable, we stand behind our work. So while tax time is just around the corner, the good news is, so are we. 114 Jefferson Port Clinton 734-4601 Hours: 9-9; Sat. Sun. 9-5 lation be brought to council by Aug.

1. Those in the transportation industry, such as Karen Druckenmiller of Shore Nuf Charters, 247 W. Lakeshore Drive, are eagerly waiting to hear about any proposals from the city. "At this point, it's really hard to say," Druckenmiller said. "We don't know what we're talking about to say how customers would react to a tax." Robert Greene, owner of the Island Hopper ferry service, 4 N.

Jefferson agreed it is tough to predict what the city will suggest, whether it would be an across the board percentage or Councilman Larry Lucas's often suggested head tax. But Greene does say he does not approve of a tax that singles School dance. So if the new atmosphere at the Civic Center would bring more students and more opportunities to play, Reyna thinks it would be a positive step. John Popson, guitar and singer of the Port Clinton-based band Bad Apple, agreed. "There isn't really any place to play in Port Clinton," said Popson, 25, a 1990 graduate of Port Clinton High School.

"I think (the Civic Center) is a wonderful resource that's not being utilized. It's a shame there's not more support from the community for Popson hopes there will be a good turnout for the event out or "points fingers" at a certain portion of the business community, such as the tax. "I think we're all in the same business," Greene said. "We're all in the tourism business if you're here in Port Clinton." Other suggestions to raise funds include directing the city auditor review all general fund fees, such as bike fees, photocopying charges and sewer permits, to see if they are out of date. City officials could also check into billing residents' insurance companies for fire-related calls and assisted services.

Since the city cannot, as a municipality, raise the sales tax, Port Clinton officials can talk with Ottawa County about any possible increases. because there will be a wide variety of bands playing. His fourmember band, which is tagged as alternative, plays about 90 cover songs and about 20 originals which appeal to the 12 to late 20s age group. Even those from out of town, such as Dustin Schoenhofer, of Toledo's heavy rock band HalfFull, are excited about the potential of more occasions to play in Port Clinton. "There's probably four places you can play in said Schoenhofer.
