~,
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Kenai realizes that the
Kenai Peninsula Borough has great difficulty in some areas of
enforcing the sales tax ordinance in the Barough and it is the
City's desire to support the Borough's effort attempting to make
sales tax collections more equitable and easier to collect, and
WHEREAS, many amendments to said Kenai Peninsula Borough Chapter
5.16 are designed to make technical, administrative and other
changes which will make the sales tax easier to collect, the City
Council is in full support of these amendments, and
WHEREAS, there are several substantive proposed amendments that
adversely affect not only the City of Kenai, but other
municipalities throughout the Borough, the Kenai City Council
wants to go on record as adamantly being opposed to the following
proposed amendments:
1. The amendment increasing the maximum amount of taxable sale
from $500 to $1000.
2. The changes from paint of delivery to the office location as
a determining factor in the rate to be applied and the
recipient to be credited.
3. The amendment that has the affect of taxing general
contractors and subcontractors, and
WHEREAS, the three previous amendments have a substantial adverse
effect upon the City of Kenai's finances.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
KENAI, ALASKA, that the Borough Assembly defeat the three
proposed amendments itemized in this resolution as not being in
the best interests of the Kenai Peninsula Borough, nor in the
best interests of the municipalities within the Kenai Peninsula
Borough.
