Council appoints auditor as local income-tax task force representative, schedules public forums
Summary
The Du Bois County Council appointed Sandy Morton as the county representative to a state-requested local income-tax distribution task force and scheduled a public meeting to gather input, initially targeting September 16.
The council discussed a state request to form a municipal-county task force to advise on distribution of local income-tax dollars expected to change after state action. Chair (S3) recommended appointing Sandy Morton, the county auditor/accountant, to represent the council; members approved the appointment by voice vote.
Council members emphasized the nonbinding nature of the task force’s recommendations and the tight timeline for providing input to the state. The council set an initial public meeting date for September 16 (subject to change) and announced additional outreach (an open-house style session at the county health department and a comprehensive-plan forum on Aug. 5) to solicit resident input before the county sends any recommendation.
