Commission hears 2026 revenue totals and sets June 16 meeting; public hearing on code revisions planned
Summary
Staff reported 2026 receipts of $77,200 in property taxes and $65,819 in general sales and use taxes; commissioners discussed sales tax distribution, potential revenue from local commercial development and scheduled their next meeting for June 16, 2026 at 7 p.m., including a public hearing on the proposed code changes.
Staff presented a brief budget update during commission reports, saying that in 2026 the town had received $77,200 in property taxes and $65,819 in general sales and use tax to date. "We have received, in 2026, $77,200 in property taxes and then $65,819 in general sales and use tax," Staff member stated. Commissioners discussed whether increased local commercial activity (for example, a convenience store) could raise local sales-tax receipts and whether the town was capturing sales tax properly through online purchases.
The commission agreed to continue reviewing Chapter 8 at the next meeting, scheduled for June 16, 2026 at 7 p.m., and to place a public hearing on the agenda to adopt the code revisions after edits are finalized. The body asked staff to prepare public-notice materials and to reach out to potential stakeholders ahead of the hearing.
