In order to accommodate <br /> this change in definition every county must readopt the local <br /> option sales taxes. The readoption process requires the Board <br /> to conduct a public hearing and adopt a resolution reenacting <br /> local government sales taxes within the County. The resolu- <br /> tion must be adopted by February 1, 1988. <br /> The attached memorandum highlights S.B. 944. The actual Bill <br /> will be available for review before the public hearing. <br /> RECOMMENDATION(S) : <br /> Set October 20, 1987 as the date for Readoption of Local Sales <br /> Taxes Public Hearing. <br />
