Council authorizes manager to file warrants in debt to collect unpaid meals tax
Summary
The council approved a 6-0 motion allowing the town manager, following advice from the town attorney, to file warrants in debt against restaurants that have not remitted meals tax, including one business delinquent for 12 months.
Town Manager Matt Spuck reported several restaurants had not submitted required meals tax and the town attorney recommended filing warrants in debt to make claims against assets if a business fails. Councilmember Cindy Holdren moved and Councilmember Sarah Nock seconded a motion authorizing the manager to file warrants in debt for nonpaying restaurants; the motion passed 6-0.
Spuck told the council one restaurant had not submitted meals tax in the last twelve months. The authorization allows the town to proceed with legal collection steps under local procedure; the minutes do not list the specific businesses or the dollar amounts owed.
