Discussion:
Ms. P. Treece asked about local sales tax option between Washington County and Johnson City. Ms. Valley explained that the state collects all the sales tax throughout the year and is allocated by each location, 50% goes directly to education then split by the average daily attendance between school districts. (Washington County gets 52.24% and Johnson City gets 47.76%) Johnson City generated $48 Million Dollars in local sales tax. In addition, the 86% of the sales tax revenue that Washington County received for education was generated from Johnson City. The Trustees Fee is also 1% of what is collected and stays within the county. Mr. Hager commented that Johnson City Schools could benefit from the monies collected for the Trustees Fee. Furthermore, In 2016, Washington County's property taxes were increased by 40 cents to fund capital school projects. Since that time, Johnson City residents, who pay county taxes in addition to city taxes, have not seen direct funding for school projects from the collection.
