Elyria City Council's finance committee moved toward a 1 percent city income tax effective April 1 with collection starting July 1. The plan aims to raise about 300000 for raises and commissions, with revenue use to be public planned and approved by council. Lorain County cities already have similar taxes, and reciprocity may share funds with neighboring communities.
