ITEM NO. 2. 1@
Mr. Holland addressed the Court requesting for Commissioners'
Court to urge the Court to approve a resolution requesting
State Representative Harvey Hilderbran to provide enabling
legislation authorizing the Kerr County elector^ate to vote on
acceptance of a 1\4 cent sales tax for- offsetting the
amortization cost of financing a Jail/Justice Center.
Commissioner Holekamp spoke with Bob Bearden of the
Comptroller's Office and spoke of his hesitance of sales
taxes being raised. The City of Ingram are at there cap and
they would have to reduce their taxes to a lower^ rate if this
were to happen. Commissioner Holekamp would like to wait to
see if the legislation is going to come up with something to
relieve the Counties of this burden before we sign a
resolution state that taxes would go up. It is inevitable
that we are in need of a jail but I feel we have to wait.
Mr•. Holland stated that if we didn't sign this resolution
that it would take even longer before we would be able to
send the resolution to Legislation.
Commissioner Lehman agreeded with Commissioner- Holekamp on
waiting and said that maybe in the Spring or Summer- we could
~, have some affirmative action if the legislation had not come
with a solution.
