• Municipal Income Tax: Mr. Klopsch reviewed the paper previously prepared providing four different options to address the loss of municipal income tax. These options included three methods of establishing tax credit limits and one method of raising the tax rate. Mr. Klopsch noted that the zero credit method creates individual taxing percentages that vary significantly and suggested that this method be eliminated from consideration. There being no opposition expressed, Mr. Klopsch will edit the paper to now reflect three options.
