The Crosslake City Council learned at its regular meeting Monday, March 8, that the city was granted a 10-minute hearing online via Zoom to the state Legislature on its request to implement a half cent local option sales tax.
City Administrator Mike Lyonais will give the city’s presentation, emphasizing the regional significance of the tax.
The city started down this path in 2020, but was interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic. It must receive legislative approval authorizing the tax, and then it must hold an election to receive voter approval for planned capital improvement projects within two years of receiving legislative approval.
