Local Option Tax Election Costs: Reel 87-051, Side 1
Atkins stated City Attorney Timmins prepared an extensive opinion regarding
the local option sales tax requirements for holding elections, Timmins has
had a number of conversations with County Attorney Pat White, and the Johnson
County Board of Supervisors has passed a resolution stating the City of Iowa
City should pay the election cost, $25,800, for the special election held for
the local option sales tax. In response to McDonald, Timmins said he has not
requested an opinion from the Attorney General's office, normally the County
Attorney would request an opinion from the Attorney General, and it is the
County Attorney's opinion that the Attorney General would decline to issue an
opinion if it appears likely the parties would litigate the issue. McDonald
asked if it is the County's responsibility for the cost of the special elec-
tion for the local option sales tax. Timmins stated the County is responsi-
ble based on the fact that it was a county -wide election and a county tax
measure is carried into effect by county ordinance. Timmins noted that the
local option tax election can arise in a number of different ways. Timmins
stated both the City and County could agree to accept the Attorney General's
opinion or the issue could be litigated. Councilmembers discussed payment of
the election cost. In response to Baker, Timmins said costs associated with
the election within Iowa City can be identified. Baker stated Iowa City
should at least pay for the election costs incurred within Iowa City.
Councilmembers directed staff to pursue negotiations with the Johnson County
Board of Supervisors and to contact the County Attorney regarding an Attorney
General's opinion.

is City of Iowa City and the City of Coralville for development and opera-
tion of the joint animal control facility. Timmins noted there is a
provision for appointment of members to the Animal Control Advisory
