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
