Saltville manager proposes fee changes: meals tax, credit-card surcharge and DMV stop to collect delinquent vehicle taxes
Summary
Rosenbaum proposed a one-cent increase in meals tax (6%→7%), a 2.25% credit-card processing surcharge starting June 1, and using the DMV stop program to collect delinquent vehicle taxes; she also noted a $12,000 annual Wellness Center lease line.
At the May 27 work session, Town Manager Cecile Rosenbaum presented several revenue and administrative changes intended to boost collections and reduce net costs. She proposed increasing the meals tax by one cent (from 6% to 7%), estimated to bring roughly $5,000 in additional revenue, and instituting a 2.25% charge on credit card transactions to offset processing fees.
Rosenbaum also outlined plans to implement the DMV Stop Program for delinquent vehicle taxes and introduced a new Wellness Center lease revenue line estimated at $12,000 annually as contributors to balancing the budget. Council will consider these at the upcoming public hearing.
