Council directs staff to bring resolution on 0.1% criminal justice sales tax to Aug. 5 meeting
Summary
Clark County Council gave staff a thumbs-up to present a resolution on implementing a 0.1% criminal justice sales tax tied to grant eligibility, with final council approval and eligibility review to follow.
At the July 23 council meeting Clark County staff said they will bring a resolution on Aug. 5 to implement a 0.1% criminal justice sales tax, pending confirmation of grant eligibility. Councilors gave staff a general "thumbs up" to proceed with the August 5 agenda item.
County staff said the proposed ordinance would tie implementation to successful eligibility for an associated grant; the sheriff's office is still reviewing grant eligibility. Council Chair Sue Marshall and other councilors asked that staff brief the council on any eligibility conditions or potential snags before final action.
No formal vote to adopt the tax was taken July 23; the council's direction was simply to place the resolution on the Aug. 5 agenda for formal consideration if eligibility is confirmed.
