Local Option Sales Tax (LOST) Boot Camp
With the release of the 2020 Census data, Cities can expect Counties to issue the notice to commence negotiations, no later than July 1, 2022, for the re-distribution of Local Option Sales Tax (LOST) between the Cities and the County. It is essential for all parties to seek and achieve a fair and equitable LOST distribution for their citizens. This two day training (1:30 - 4:30 pm on 1/24/22 and 9:00 am - 4:00pm on 1/25/22) will include a panel of GMA staff, city officials, and guest speakers who are experienced in preparing for LOST re-negotiations. The presenters will provide an overview of LOST, review negotiation criteria, negotiations requirements and tips, lessons learned from past negotiations, dispute resolution options, best practices, and include hands on application. Pre-work will be required.
Registration not available.
