Lynwood board enacts 1% municipal grocery tax to replace state tax
Summary
The Village of Lynwood adopted Ordinance No. 25-25 to impose a 1% Municipal Grocery Retailers Occupation Tax replacing the State tax; the measure passed 4–0 at the Sept. 12 special meeting with two trustees absent.
Trustee Lilly moved and Trustee Eaves seconded a motion to waive first and second readings and adopt Ordinance No. 25-25, described in the minutes as "an Ordinance of the Village of Lynwood implementing a 1% Municipal Grocery Retailers Occupation Tax and Municipal Grocery Tax to replace the State Tax." The ordinance was approved by roll call, 4–0; Trustees Blakey and Hurt were absent.
The minutes record no public comment on the tax at the meeting. The ordinance implements a 1% municipal grocery tax (the minutes use that phrase exactly) to replace the applicable state grocery tax; the minutes do not specify an effective date, collection start date, or exemption details, which were "not specified" in the record.
