Snowflake staff to place notice of intent to consider sales-tax increase on next agenda, council told
Summary
Town staff recommended placing a notice of intent to begin a sales-tax increase process on the next council agenda after noting Town of Taylor has started a similar process; council members were asked to decide how to explain their positions to neighbors.
Brian Richards, listed as town staff, told the Town of Snowflake worksession on Oct. 26 that the Town of Taylor has started a process to raise its sales tax and recommended Snowflake begin a similar process by placing a notice of intent on the next council agenda.
"Brian would like for Snowflake to start the process as well and would like to put the notice of intent on the next council agenda," the session record states.
Council members were asked to decide what they would tell friends and neighbors about their reasons for supporting or opposing the potential tax change. The minutes do not record a vote or a formal motion to begin a tax increase; the record indicates only that staff proposed placing the notice of intent on the upcoming agenda.
No details about the proposed tax rate, proposed uses of additional revenue, or timetable for further hearings were provided in the worksession record.
