Salida council adopts ordinance fixing municipal code language on revenue disposition
Summary
On second reading the Salida City Council approved Ordinance 2026-05 to correct municipal code language about how sales-tax proceeds are allocated to the economic development fund, restoring the percentage approved by the community and fixing a drafting error.
The Salida City Council approved Ordinance 2026-05 on second reading to correct the city’s municipal code language that governs disposition of revenue into the economic development fund.
City staff explained the change during a public hearing: the municipal code’s section cited in staff remarks (referred to in the hearing as section 42030) contained a drafting error that said 10% of proceeds should go into the economic development fund; the correction aligns the code with the post‑election result that the fund should receive 2% of proceeds from the 3% sales tax. "This ordinance simply corrects the municipal code based on the actions of the community," city staff told the council during the public hearing.
Council Member Martin moved to approve the ordinance on second reading and Council Member Papenfort seconded. The council then took a roll‑call vote; the motion passed.
What it means: the change is a technical correction to align the codified language with voter-approved allocations and does not change policy intent. The council closed the public hearing and adopted the ordinance at second reading.
Administrative note: staff confirmed proper notice and publication for the hearing and invited questions; none affected the substance of the corrective amendment.
