<br />
<br />In accordance with duly-advertised public notice, Council conducted a public hearing on a
<br />
<br />proposed budget for the City of Martinsville for its fiscal year ending June 30, 1975 which,
<br />
<br />as revised, proposed a 20% utility tax on other-than residential electric customers within
<br />
<br />the City, with a tax ceiling of $500.00 per month per customer location. During the course
<br />
<br />of this hearing, in which several residents and businessmen posed several questions, Mayor
<br />
<br />West recommended that a utility tax on other-than residential electric customers be limited
<br />
<br />to l5% per month, with a tax ceiling of $400.00 per month on anyone customer, regardless of
<br />
<br />number of separate locations or branches within the City, and that the City's mot.or vehicle
<br />
<br />license tax schedule be increased, for example passenger vehicle license tax from $10.00 to
<br />
<br />$15.00 per year. In acceptance of Mayor West's recommendation, Council amended appropriate
<br />
<br />sections of the City's consumers utility tax (see addendum for ordinance), effective July 1,
<br />
<br />1974, and--by a recorded unanimous vote--adopted a City budget for the fiscal year ending
<br />
<br />June 30, 1975, reflecting the recommendations hereinbefore mentioned, summary of which is
<br />
<br />incorporated in the following appropriation ordinance (by funds):
