The finance committee voted to send a sample grocery sales-tax ordinance from the Illinois Municipal League to the city attorney with instructions to make the city's chosen rate 1%. The committee amended the original motion to specify the 1% replacement rate and approved the amended motion unanimously.

Committee members discussed which replacement rate to select (options in the sample ranged across percent choices) and agreed the attorney should draft the ordinance with the 1% specification so the committee can review a complete version at a later meeting. Members said they will revisit the draft in committee before forwarding it to the full city council for potential adoption.

The committee set no final adoption date; staff indicated the ordinance draft will return to committee for review and could appear on the council agenda in coming months.
