Council introduces 1% sales tax ordinance and schedules special‑election language for additional readings
Summary
Council introduced Ordinance 2026‑006 to levy a 1% sales tax and Ordinance 2026‑007 to call a special election on the tax; both were read by title for their second readings and require additional readings before adoption.
Council Member Chris Cantrell (recorded in the minutes as Chris Cantwell) moved to introduce Ordinance 2026‑006 by title to levy a 1% sales tax; Council Member Sherry Moncrief seconded and the motion passed with the members present. The ordinance was read by title for its Second Reading. The minutes note that ordinances require three readings before adoption.
Separately, Council introduced Ordinance 2026‑007, which calls for a special election on the proposed 1% sales tax. Cantwell moved to introduce that ordinance by title; Moncrief seconded and the motion passed. Both items were recorded as read by title for the Second Reading and will require further readings and formal votes at future meetings before the tax could be placed on a ballot or become law.
