Council asks whether sales tax can fund library window or bookmobile
Summary
Council Member Peterson asked at the Aug. 4 work session whether Sales Tax funds could pay for a library window replacement or the bookmobile; City Administrator McCann cautioned any use must follow the referendum language and said staff would check eligibility.
During the budget review, Council Member Peterson asked whether Sales Tax Funds could be used to pay for a library window replacement or the bookmobile. City Administrator McCann said some items may qualify but emphasized the City must follow the language in the referendum before using Sales Tax revenues for those purposes.
Peterson pushed for clarification so the council could understand funding flexibility as it weighs staff requests against levy scenarios. McCann's response left the technical determination to staff review of the referendum language and applicable restrictions.
Council instructed staff to verify eligibility and report back with guidance as part of the budget materials the council will review before finalizing the levy.
