What funding strategies is the Financing workgroup considering?
The strategies fall into one of three categories: voluntary participation, mandated participation and legislative. Voluntary participation considers various incentives to encourage participation by individuals and business. Mandatory participation includes various taxes and fees the county has the authority to impose, such as, licensing fees and parcel and sales tax. The payroll tax falls into the legislative category. Potential funding sources in this category require federal or state legislative action. (See Financing workgroup document for details.
