City Commission Meeting
February 1, 2016 (& Feb. 3rd)
Vision Sales Tax Renewal

Collinsville City Commission

WORK SESSION CITY OF COLLINSVILLE Monday, February 1, 2016 at 4:00 p.m. City Hall Commission Chambers 106 N. 12th Street, Collinsville, Oklahoma 1. Call to Order. 2. Roll Call. 3. Discussion of Vision Renewal. 4. Adjournment. All Commissioners were present for the work session (along with Stan Sallee, Ted Wright, and city staff) for a discussion of potential capitol projects and potential ballot language for the proposed tax. The Vision 2025 sales tax (a county-wide tax) will expire at the end of 2016 and now individual cities are looking to replace that with their own city specific sales taxes. The amount (fifty five one hundredths of one percent (0.55%)) would be the same, but one difference would be a permanent tax with no expiration date. Collinsville City voters last approved a sales tax in 2009. To make the deadline for the April 5th, 2016 election, the approved ballot wording would need to be turned into the county election board by Thursday. So any wording changes from that already on the agenda for the regular Monday meet (below) would need a special session Wednesday. The regular meeting agenda items (below) were passed over and a Wednesday Feb. 3, 2016 special session was called with the suggested revised wording from this work session. -- Ted Wright

Rather than create a whole new page for the Feb. 3rd special session ... I've just added some of the new wording (streets, roads & bridges) approved at that session by the two commissioners (Shafer & Bateman) and Mayor (York) -- Ted 2/6/2016
