RESOLUTION 2023-0023 TO PROTECT THE WILL OF THE VOTERS’ APPROVED REVENUE PURPOSE STATEMENTS FOR THE ALLOCATION OF LOCAL OPTION SALES TAX REVENUE, OPPOSING SF 550

• WHEREAS the voters of Marshall County and cities within the county have voted to enact a 1 cent Local Option Sales Tax in accordance with Iowa Code 423B; and
• WHEREAS the revenue derived from the tax is used for road and bridge improvements, public safety facilities, and property tax relief; and
• WHEREAS the residents of Marshall County have grown to rely on these revenues as a means to reduce property taxes; and
• WHEREAS, the 2023 legislative session has seen the introduction of SF 550, which proposes to convert the Local Option Sales Tax efforts into a statewide sales tax and impose the local option sales tax in every jurisdiction, thereby triggering the constitutional amendment to require an allocation of 3/8th of a cent to the Iowa Water and Land Legacy (IWLL) trust fund; and
• WHEREAS SF 550 proposed to backfill revenues lost due to the proposal, there are concerns of the Legislature ability to continue backfilling revenues; and 
• WHEREAS voters across Iowa who have voted to either implement a local option sales tax or not to do so; and
• WHEREAS voters across Iowa who have voted to utilize the local option sales tax have approved revenue purpose statements (RPS); and
• WHEREAS SF 550 also sunsets these provisions on January 1, 2025, after which no jurisdiction will have the authority to take either a LOST proposal or revenue purpose statement to a vote, essentially deleting the local government’s ability to have local option sales taxes.
• THEREFORE, the Marshall County Board of Supervisors would like to express their support of the current Local Option Sales Tax. The current law best represents the interest of voters and furthers the reduction of property taxes, which is a common goal of the County and the Iowa Legislature. The Board of Supervisors unanimously supports the Iowa Water and Land Legacy (IWLL) trust fund; however, SF 550 as currently written, would not only strip the County of control over Local Option Sales Tax (LOST) revenues, but would effectively disregard the will of the Voters.
• Passed and approved on this __ day of April, 2023.

 Motion by __ second by __ to (adopt) RESOLUTION 2023-0023 TO PROTECT THE WILL OF THE VOTERS’ APPROVED REVENUE PURPOSE STATEMENTS FOR THE ALLOCATION OF LOCAL OPTION SALES TAX REVENUE, OPPOSING SF 550.
