A
SPECIAL JOINT MEETING OF THE BOARD OF
OCTOBER
2, 2007
The
Lake County Board of
SALES
SURTAX OVERSIGHT ADVISORY COMMITTEE REPORT
Mr.
Keith Mullins, Chairman, Sales Surtax Oversight Advisory Committee, addressed
the Board stating that, in 2001, the citizens of Lake County voted upon
themselves a 15 year one cent sales tax, to be divided equally among the Lake
County School Board, the Board of County Commissioners, and the 14
Municipalities in the County, and, at that time, they also formed an oversight
advisory committee, to assure the citizens that the sales tax was being spent
appropriately. He stated that the Committee
meets twice per year – once to look at the budgets and once to look at the
actual expenditures, and, when they met on September 10, 2007, it was
determined that everybody is budgeted to spend their sales tax appropriately in
the upcoming fiscal year. He stated that
detailed reports on the County, the School Board, and the Municipalities were
available, for the record, and the next meeting is scheduled to be held March
17, 2008. A document containing a report
of the expenditures and revenues of the one-cent sales tax was submitted to the
Board, for their perusal, as per Lake County Ordinance No. 2001-130.
ADJOURNMENT
There
being no further business to be brought to the attention of the Board, the
meeting was adjourned at 8:40 a.m.
