Council moves to table sales‑tax measure that would replace expiring levy
Summary
Staff presented a resolution to replace a sales‑tax measure expiring March 2026 and said a 1% increase would raise about $270,000 annually; with a councilmember absent a council member moved to table the item for further discussion.
Staff presented a resolution explaining that the current sales‑tax measure expires in March 2026 and noted the city would lose associated revenue if it is not replaced. Staff said the measure functions as a broad community revenue source, generating roughly $135,000 under the current rate; staff estimated that a 1% sales‑tax increase would bring approximately 270,000 to the city's general fund.
Given the absence of a councilwoman, a council member moved to table the item so the full council could consider it and so staff could provide additional information. The motion to table was made on the record and the item was set aside pending further discussion and staff follow‑up.
