Park County commissioners give second approval to Cook City resort tax ordinance
Summary
The commission gave second approval to a Cook City resort tax ordinance after brief public comment noting the tax would help shift visitor-related sewer costs to visitors rather than residents.
Park County commissioners gave second approval Aug. 19 to a Cook City resort tax ordinance, a measure proponents said will help the Cook City Sewer District recover costs associated with visitor use.
"This is a critical piece of it to help defer the cost from residents to folks that are visiting," said Mary Anne Keyes, who identified herself during public comment as supportive of the ordinance on behalf of local interests. Commissioner Vermillion called the measure "a good thing to collect money from visitors," and Commissioner Wells said the county properly followed state law and planning procedures.
Commissioner Vermillion moved to approve the Cook City resort tax ordinance on second approval; the motion was seconded and adopted by voice vote. The transcript records public support from local sewer-district interests and commissioners' endorsement; it does not contain a roll-call tally listing individual votes by name.
