Sales Tax
Split Set
NEVADA CITY ~--The Nev. ada City Council Monday
night gavenotice that it will
take a larger slice of the sales
. tax pie beginning in 1963,
i By a 4-0 vote, Council. man Craig Davies being ab. sent, the council directed
iCity Attorney William
Weatheral to prepare a sales
tax ordinance calling for the
city to recieve 80 per cent
of all sales tax collected in
the city.
Thecity-county split currently is 70-30 per cent.
It is estimated that the ten
per cent increase will mean
an additional $3000 to the
city treasury each year, During this fiscal year, it will
net the city an additional
$1500.
Nevada Coumy, if they refuse to accept the new 80-20
percent split, has the option
of scrapping the entire sales
tax ordinance withinthe
county, Otherwise, supervisors must accept the split.
Nevada City councilmen
feel the county will accept
the split, since county sales
tax receipts total about
,$175, 000 per year,
