Ordinance 3822 - Authorizes Half -Cent Sales Tax. MOTION by Larson, SECOND by Craig, to introduce and adopt Ordinance 3822. Hitchcock expressed concern over passage of the ordinance at this time because of opposition by the Chamber of Commerce, King County not having acted on it and the Council not clear on the budget. Larson noted if the ordinance was not passed by December 1st the City would lose the first full quarter of revenue. Colburn and Kurle also expressed a desire to see where the budget outlook was before passage of the ordinance. Craig stated he felt the City had been prudent in the past and was in pretty good shape. He felt it was the first priority of the City to maintain its police, fire and uti- lity services. He thought sales tax was the least hurtful way to maintain theue services. Several members of the Council asked for clarification of the timing of passage of the ordinance. It was noted by Mayor Roegner, Jack Bereiter and Dan Clements delay over unresolved issues such as King County action, appeal through the initiative or referendum process, and the City's Budget could delay the receipt of revenues until the second quarter. It was also noted the process to lessen the amount of the sales tax was quicker and easier than initiating the tax. Lea asked how much monies would be involved if the City did not get the first quarter revenue. Clements indicated approximately $400,000. Councilmember Hitchcock voted NO. MOTION CARRIED.
