Corinth City Council voted unanimously to call a joint special election for November to continue the city’s fire control, prevention and emergency medical services district sales and use tax for a 10-year period.

City Manager Campbell told the council the action follows a decision earlier the same evening by the fire district board to call the election. “If this is approved tonight, the staff will immediately begin working on the educational materials, to put out to the public, about that election,” Campbell said.

A councilmember moved to approve ordinance number 25-o8-o7-35 calling the joint election; another councilmember seconded. The motion passed unanimously.

The ordinance the council approved formally orders the referendum to continue the quarter-cent sales and use tax for the fire district for a 10-year renewal and directs staff to coordinate the joint election and public information activities.
