History: On June 13, 2017, through Board Action 17-0207, after a required public hearing, the Hennepin County Board adopted a one half of one percent sales and use tax and excise tax of $20 per motor vehicle for transportation and transit purposes as authorized by Minnesota Statutes Section 297A.993. That statute requires that a County levying such taxes also designate the proposed uses of the revenues from those taxes. Accordingly, the Board then approved a Sales and Use Transportation Tax Implementation Plan. The Plan also provides that the permitted uses may be changed by further action of the Board after a public hearing.

The resolution would set a public hearing to receive comments on proposed changes to uses of the sales and use tax revenues as designated in the Sales and Use Transportation Tax Implementation Plan.

Current Request: Establish a public hearing be held before the Hennepin County Board of Commissioners on Wednesday, December 5, at 1:00 p.m.
