Fair River backs Resolution 25‑03 to join county sales‑tax ballot for Deer Mountain access
Summary
The council discussed Resolution 25‑03, a town resolution supporting Una County placing a 1‑point sales‑tax increase on the ballot; the town identified a local project — a secondary access to Deer Mountain (Bear River project) estimated at $856,769.07 — to include for potential county funding.
Speaker 1 presented Resolution 25‑03, describing it as a resolution by the governing body of the Town of Fair River supporting the Una County Commission placing a 1‑percentage‑point sales‑tax increase before county voters and allowing municipalities to 'tag on' to eligible projects. The resolution as presented identifies the Bear River project — construction of a secondary access to Deer Mountain — with an estimated project cost of $856,769.07.
Speaker 5 said the packet would be presented to county commissioners and that Kim Larson would submit the project for county consideration and explain the municipal 'tag‑on' option to residents. Speaker 1 and others confirmed the item would be on the county map and that municipalities would have the chance to opt in if they have projects they want to be included.
The transcript records discussion about timing (the resolution would appear on a July map and be available for municipalities to join by a specified summer deadline) but does not record the council formally voting to adopt Resolution 25‑03 during the excerpt provided.
What happens next: Kim Larson and town representatives will present the project to county commissioners and confirm timelines for municipalities to opt into the proposed sales‑tax measure. The transcript does not show a final municipal vote to adopt the resolution in the meeting excerpt.
