Income Tax Measure Rewritten For City Ordinances
The first of three rewritten ordinances for a proposed one percent city income tax will be presented at Monday’s council meeting. Officials say the measures follow a Municipal League model and cover levy, penalties, and administration with future ordinances addressing funds use and regulations. Mayor estimates propose $300,000 annual revenue with allocations for streets, admin, capital improvements, fire and police, and sewer upgrades. The league notes the tax targets net earnings and is easy to collect, with costs expected to be under five percent and initial administration needing basic equipment.
