Free sample: decision 1 of 26

Data Center Tax Revenue Allocation Ordinance Amendment

Proposed amendment to County Code Chapter 9 to dedicate data center-derived tax revenue (from activity booked January 1, 2027 forward) to buying down the personal property (car) tax rate from $3.25. Board deferred the item to the September 23 meeting after community concerns about short notice and preference to consider other uses (schools, infrastructure, affordable housing). Debate over whether existing Carissa base revenue should also be included.

The other decisions are listed below by title. The full write-up, verbatim conditions, and the audio at each vote are in Pro.
