Council approves home-rule request to seek extension of additional 1% sales and compensating use tax
Summary
The Oswego Common Council voted May 12 to authorize submission of a home-rule request asking the state to extend an additional 1% local sales and compensating use tax. The resolution passed by roll call 6-0-1.
The Oswego Common Council on May 12 approved a resolution authorizing the submission of a home-rule request seeking state legislation to extend the city’s additional 1% sales and compensating use tax.
The resolution, recorded as item 1-24 on the agenda, passed by roll call with a 6-0-1 tally (six yes, zero no, one absent). Councilors present voted in favor per the meeting minutes; no amendments or public debate were recorded in the minutes during the item.
The mayor noted the release of tentative assessments for property appeals earlier in May and discussed assessor office hours elsewhere on the agenda, but the sales-tax home-rule request was presented as a standalone administrative authorization for the city to pursue enabling state legislation.
The resolution directs city officials to coordinate the formal home-rule request and to pursue the legislative extension through the state process; the minutes do not set a specific state sponsor or deadline in the local record.
