The Rawlins County Board of Commissioners voted May 31 to approve Resolution 2024-08, placing a county sales tax question on the August ballot.
Garth Herrmann of Gilmore & Bell joined the meeting by speaker phone to clarify the resolution’s wording. Commissioners reviewed the final language and Commissioner Lincoln Pochop read the version that would appear on the ballot. County Attorney Charles Peckham advised that matching the legislative phrase "up to 1%" was not necessary for the ballot language.
Commissioner Mark Mosley moved to approve Resolution 2024-08, the County Sales Tax Question; Commissioner Alan A. Solko seconded. The motion carried by recorded vote.
The minutes do not record an expanded fiscal analysis or projected revenue amounts tied to the proposed tax. The resolution will place the question before county voters in August using the approved wording.
