Commissioner Lyons noted that one of the things people <br />seem to be very apprehensive about is that any tax such as <br />this will be a continuing tax. He suggested that the word- <br />ing in Section 5 FORM OF BALLOT be changed to read - Do you <br />favor imposing the tax for not more than one year? - as he <br />wished to be sure people understand this thoroughly. <br />Discussion continued in regard to identifying the <br />facility to be financed more explicitly, i.e., local justice <br />facility, jail and associated -or related facilities, etc. <br />The Chairman asked if anyone present wished to be <br />heard. <br />Dudley Clyatt, representing 1,631 members of the Farm <br />Bureau, informed the Board that they made a unanimous deci- <br />sion to support the proposed 1G sales tax. Mr. Clyatt felt <br />if 1� is not enough, it should be made higher, but he was <br />informed that state law limits this tax to 1� for one year. <br />Ray Scent brought up the fact that there are many <br />people who rent out their homes or rooms and do not collect <br />5% sales tax. If you rent for six months or more, you are <br />exempt, but if it is only for a few months or weeks, the tax <br />should be collected. This is an untapped source, and he <br />felt some action should be taken to ensure that people <br />renting these properties should pay the 1� sales tax also. <br />Commissioner Bird felt possibly we should publicize the <br />fact that such people are violating the law and that they <br />are subject to severe penalties. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED <br />by Commissioner Bowman, the Board unanimously <br />(4-0) closed the public hearing. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED <br />by Commissioner Bowman, the Board unanimously <br />adopted Ordinance 84-60 as amended. <br />M <br />SEP 5 19 4 aooK'8 Fa,c 167 <br />
