Brief Summary of Dec. 29, 2008 Special Session |
The city commission tabled the sales tax election question Monday based on an inconsistant amount on the agenda -vs- the actual amount in the resolution. This delay will likely cause a shift from a March 2009 citizen vote to an April 2009 citizen vote on a new 3/4 cent sales tax for 20 years + a 10 year extension of an existing 1 cent tax set to expire in ~10 years. -- Ted Wright 8:25pm Monday 12/29/2008 (The election would likely be for park-road-bridge improvements & an extension of the downtown streetscape & a jail). -- more details below) |
The only official action Dec. 29th was the hiring of Johanning and Byrom, P.C. as Financial Legal Counsel to the CMA (for the proposed sales tax election and administration at a rate of 1% of the amount raised). Present were Mayor Sallee & Commissioners Pam Porter, Bud York and Billie Reeder |
Unofficial
Summary of Potential Sales Tax Use (from my notes taken from Mayor Stan Sallee's verbal presentations to the Chamber of Commerce Dec. 4th and City Commission Dec 29th above.) -- Ted 1/2 | ||||||||||||
$3.3 million total No-Growth projected revenue to be raised by new 20-year 3/4 cent sales tax and 10 year extension of an existing 1 cent sales tax now set to expire in about 10 years. Growth would allow additional projects or early pay off of planned projects. | ||||||||||||
