-Commission Minutes-
The Nodaway County Commission met in regular session Friday, Dec. 2. In attendance were Presiding Commissioner Bill Walker, South District Commissioner Robert Stiens, and Deputy County Clerk Lorraine O’Donnell. North District Commissioner Robert West fall was absent.
Business before the governing board included:
· Receipt of November road and bridge revenues from the State of Missouri in the following amounts: vehicle sales tax, $25,578, which was $1,112 less than in Nov. 2015; fuels tax, $69,996, which was $4,387 more than in Nov. 2015.
· A discussion with Gary Coenen of Coenen Enterprises with regard to the emergency power system and lighting at the County Administration Center.
· A discussion with Prosecuting Attorney Robert Rice with regard to the City of Maryville/Hy-Vee retail complex tax increment financing district, referred to as TIF.
The city is claiming that the county’s half-cent road gravel sales tax is classed under state law as an “economic activity” levy, and that a portion of the revenue it produces must be used to help retire TIF debt.
The debt was acquired by the city to finance infrastructure related to construction of the retail center at the corner of South Main Street and South Avenue.
The gravel tax brings in a little less than $1 million a year, and City Hall estimates the county should hand over around $30,000 of that total in TIF payments.
Rice was directed to review applicable statutes and ordinances and report his findings to the commission. The city has already subjected the matter to legal review by another attorney.
· A request from Jackie Spainhower, executive director of the Northwest Missouri Regional Council of Governments, for a written commitment totaling $8,333.34 for a new Hazard Mitigation Plan. Half of the funding, $4,166, would be in the form of an in-kind match and half would be in cash.
