RE: Implementation of PUD Utility Tax
Administrative Services
The attached ordinance amends our existing utility and franchise
ordinance and implements the 3% tax on Public Utility District sales
within the City limits. The Council approved this action in January.
Incidentally, the Public Utility District has indicated that annual
sales from services within the City amount to about $78,000 at current
rates. This means that we will obtain between $2,000 and $3,000 a
year in revenue from this resource. The tax, of course, will be sensi-
tive to increases as Public Utility District rates increase to customers
within the City limits.
I would hope the Council would act favorably upon the attached ordinance.
Thank you.
