CCD 2010-01 PUBLIC HEARING ON IMPOSITION OF CRIME
CONTROL & PREVENTION DISTRICT SALES TAX ON
RESIDENTIAL GAS AND ELECTRIC USE -
RESOLUTION NO. 2010-A
APPROVED
President Trevino opened the public hearing on the imposition of the sales tax on residential
gas and electricity.
Ms. Karen Bostic, Assistant City Manager, presented the item. This item was previously
discussed with the Crime District Board of Directors at the August 7 Budget Work Session and
a public hearing was held on August 24, 2009. At that time the belief was that the public
hearing could be held with an effective date of January 1, 2010. Since August the State
Comptroller sent out information advising that all actions necessary to implement the sales tax
must occur after January 1, 2010. To impose the tax, the Crime Control & Prevention District
Board of Directors is required to hold a public hearing, adopt a resolution approving the
imposition of the tax, send a copy of the resolution to the Comptroller, send a copy of the
resolution and the district's boundaries to each gas and electric company located within the
CCD and to publish notice of the resolution. The resolution will become effective on July 1.
The Board was advised that if someone has an electric consumption that equates to a $150
electric bill, the additional sales tax will only equate to about 75 cents.
President Trevino called for public comments on the imposition of the sales tax on residential
gas and electricity.
There was no one present wishing to comment.
Board Member Sapp commented on an article in the Star Telegram and that he felt it was
important to clarify that that the financial impact on an individual basis is relatively small, but
the assistance of the CCD to the support of the Police Department makes it a worthwhile
venture.
Board Member Lombard moved, seconded by Board Member Sapp, to approve Resolution No.
2010-A.
President Trevino advised that he had received two emails from citizens who were opposed to
any additional taxes and that a response would be sent to the citizens.
Motion prevailed by the following vote:
Aye: 8 votes
No: 0 votes
President Trevino closed the public hearing.
