El Paso County draft moves public safety tax reporting from citizen advisory group to county board
Summary
County staff said the draft resolution removes a requirement for the sheriff's office to report to a citizen advisory group and instead requires reporting to the Board of County Commissioners at a public noticed meeting; staff noted the change in the draft presented July 27.
Ryan Parcel, executive director of government affairs, told commissioners that the draft resolution for the public safety sales and use tax would supersede the current reporting requirement to a citizen advisory group and instead require the sheriff's office to report to the Board of County Commissioners at a public noticed meeting.
"This draft supersedes the requirement that the sheriff's office report to a citizen advisory group of some sort about the collection and use of the tax to instead reporting to the board of county commissioners and a public, and notice meeting," Parcel said. Parcel presented the change as the only substantive reporting change in the current draft; he did not describe additional procedural details such as reporting frequency or format.
Commissioners did not debate the reporting change at length during the July 27 session. The board moved the resolution forward to a second reading on Aug. 4, where staff said attorneys and staff could provide any further clarifications about legal terminology and reporting mechanics before a final vote.
