Hugo City Council Meeting Minutes for March 6,2017 Page 3 of 6 State Statute. There is thought that tax collected would adequately fund both the County and State share with a continued partnership with the Federal Government; however, there are concerns over the change in leadership at the federal level and whether they will remain a partner. To terminate CTIB, it would be agreed that all outstanding bonds would be satisfied, operating commitments would be assumed by counties and divided by projects, and all county boards would agree to impose a new sales tax no less than a quarter of one percent to go to transit and transportation purposes. Under State Statute 992, counties are allowed to collect the quarter percent tax for transit specifically. Under 993, one-half percent can be collected and used for transit and transportation, which could result in lower property taxes. Recently, Dakota County has given their notice to leave CTIB and have three years to cover their debt obligations while tax continues to be collected and go to the CTIB. To disband, there needs to be a unanimous vote from all county boards. There wasn't a vote on Friday and they will be discussing it further. Dakota County is a critical vote. A workshop is scheduled for March 14 at the County Government Center to talk about the dissolution of CTIB and the draft 993 transportation plan. On March 21, there is a public hearing at the regular Tuesday board meeting regarding CTIB and reimplementation of the county transportation sales tax. On March 28, there could be a vote on the policy direction to disband, which could be done in one or two resolutions. He encouraged attendance at the March 21, 2017 public hearing or submit comments in writing.
