City Council Resolution 1991-21RESOLUTION 91-21 RESOLUTION URGING ADOPTION OF ONE-HALF PERCENT LOCAL OPTION SALES TAX WHEREAS, the adoption of the 1/2 percent local option sales tax by Wright County would maintain aids to the county and the cities and townships within the county, and WHEREAS, failure of Wright County to adopt the local option sales tax would result in the loss of all county, city, and township aids within the county, amounting to an aid loss of about 5.6 times as much as the county revenues from the 1/2 percent sales tax, and WHEREAS, the failure of Wright County to adopt the tax would result in the aids currently being received by the local governments in Wright County instead of being re -distributed as a windfall to the counties which adopt the tax, and WHEREAS, failure to adopt the tax would greatly increase property taxes in Wright County. THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Monticello City Council urges the Wright County Board of Commissioners to adopt the 1/2 percent local option sales tax prior to the July 1 deadline for such adoption. Adopted this 24th day of June, 1991. City Administrator
