(8.5) First Reading Ordinance Number 82-8910 - levying a city gross earnings
tax on intangibles for the year 1982.
Lee Lorenz, 1945 Rolling Hills Circle, said he is against the intangible
tax because it is a third tax on income. He said people have stopped saving, and
it causes a hardship on elderly people. He suggested that a local sales tax be
voted on, as this is the only fair tax. He said he is willing to help on a sales
tax election.
George R. Smith, 854 Kenison Road, said a tax on intangibles is a very
unfair tax. He suggested the property taxes be increased, or get a sales tax.
He said he has a petition with more than 1,000 signatures here in Salina to put
the intangible tax to a vote. This was prior to the court decision that intangibl
tax is illegal.
Roy Garrigues, 907 East Ellsworth, said he feels an added tax to propert
would be better accepted by the people. A property tax is a fair tax, but not an
intangible tax.
W. 0. Brown, 834 Russell, said the intangibles tax is an unfair tax to
the elderly people on a fixed income. Increase the property taxes if needed.
People are buying government bonds. A sales tax would be a good and fair tax.
Charles Heath, 18 Crestview Drive, said the City Commission could levy
a lesser tax than 2.25. He suggested lowering it to something like .75% or 10.

Milton Stiefel, 158 Fairdale Road, suggested the City Commission do
nothing with the intangibles tax and go to the people for a sales tax.
82-80 Moved by Commissioner Burgess that first reading of Ordinance Number
82-8910 be tabled for at least 1 week. The motion died for the lack of a second.
82-81Moved by Commissioner Roth, seconded by Commissioner Graves that
Ordinance Number 82-8910, levying a city gross earnings tax on intangibles for
the year 1982, be introduced for first reading. Aye: Graves, Hodges, Roth,
Duckers (4). Nay: Burgess (1). Motion adopted.
