Kinder town attorney gives notice to consider sales-and-use tax election at Sept. 9 meeting
Summary
Town Attorney Michael Holmes told the council the body plans to consider a resolution at its Sept. 9 meeting to order and call an election on extending or rededicating a sales-and-use tax; no ballot details or tax rate were specified.
Michael Holmes, the town attorney for Kinder, announced at the Aug. 5 council meeting that notice is given that the council plans to consider adopting a resolution at its Sept. 9, 2024 meeting to order and call an election to authorize the extension and/or rededication of a sales and use tax in the Town of Kinder.
Holmes said the council will take up the matter at its regular meeting on Monday, Sept. 9, 2024, at 6:00 p.m. in the Council Chamber of the Fred A. Ashy Municipal Building, 333 N. 8th Street. The announcement was presented as a notice of intent; the council did not vote on the resolution during the Aug. 5 meeting.
The town did not provide a ballot language, proposed rate, duration or revenue estimate at the Aug. 5 meeting; those details were not specified in the announcement. The notice signals the council's intent to consider placing a sales-and-use tax question before voters, which would require further formal action to finalize wording and schedule.
The council previously approved moving the September meeting to Sept. 9, 2024, ensuring the same meeting date where the resolution will be considered. The next formal step will be any motion, public hearing or vote the council takes at that Sept. 9 meeting.
