Re: Resolutions Voting in Favor of an Ordinance
of the St. Joseph County Income Tax Council
Imposing the County Option Income Tax (COIT)
Increasing the Percentage Credit Allowed for
Homesteads in St. Joseph County, and Increasing
the Rate of the County Economic Development
Income Tax (CEDIT)
Dear President Kelly:
I am attaching the above - captioned resolutions. As you know,
the St. Joseph County Council, on March 4, 1997, passed proposed
ordinances of the St. Joseph County Income Tax Council that would
impose the County Option Income Tax, increase the Homestead Credit,
and increase the rate of the County Economic Development Income
Tax. The passage of this proposed ordinance has been certified and
forwarded to the City of South Bend, which is also a member of the
County Option Income Tax Council.
Over the past few years we have held numerous public and
private meetings regarding the financial needs of the citizens of
St. Joseph County and the City of South Bend. It is abundantly
clear that despite the relatively strong financial position of the
City of South Bend that there are still many unmet needs that have
been deferred due to lack of adequate funding.
I have provided the Council with some suggestions as to uses
for the additional funds that the City of South Bend would receive
as a result of a favorable vote on all of these resolutions. I
look forward to discussing this important issue with you in more
detail when you hold your public hearing on these resolutions,
which I understand will be at your regular Council meeting of March
241 1997, at 7:00 p.m.
