A quick note from last night's Polson City Council meeting: City manger Todd Crossett said he got a good impression and felt the a meeting with tribal representatives was positive. The notion to put the 3 percent resort tax on certain luxury items in Polson was well received, he said, but now the proposal has to go through the tribal procedures and be presented to CSKT Tribal Council. http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif
Also, he noted that the previously discussed automatic federal exemption for members might not be as cut and dry as assumed, but didn't offer specifics on what that might mean.
Tribally-owned resort KwaTakNuq could be a big source of revenue for the tax, but the tribe has to agree to administer it first.
Also, Paul Fugleberg (who disagreed with our editorial for the tax in the Sept. 3 issue) mentioned to me he hadn't seen a full list of exemptions and taxed items.
The list given out at meetings is based almost ver batem from the city of Whitefish's list.
Click here for a list, which is posted on the city of Polson's web site. (Which is a great source for meeting material and meeting item updates, if you haven't checked it out already.)
