In County Council Chambers, go to the clerks at the sign up table and tell them you want to comment on the Sales Tax. They will give you a slip of paper to fill out and return to them. At the appropiate time in the agenda, you will be called forward to speak. I recommend have a some notes or written statement on hand. You will be limited to 3 minutes, only. Do NOT be alarmed when you here an alarm, as you speak, It is an alert to let you know, you have 30 second left, to wind up your comments.
Several times, the Council Chair announced, at their last meeting, that the 3rd and final reading of the Sales Tax Referendum will be on the June 24th Meeting.
The Comments Segment should be an item on the 1st segment of the agenda, usually around item number 7, 8 or 9.
If, for any reason, they decide to pull it from the agenda, do not be alarmed.
Still sign up and speak at the end of the agenda, also for 3 minutes.
*** If you can't attend, please email your County Council person.
Tell them NO! No new taxes!
Here are some items to consider when speaking.
Ask yourself and Council, why this tax, now? Why not complete the important and immediate projects, then come back with a comprehensive and clear cut list of new projects at a later date?
