RESOLUTION NO. 98 - 111
SUPPORTING THE REINSTATEMENT OF SALES TAX EXEMPTION FOR
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS
WHEREAS, Minnesota local governments have not been exempt from paying sales tax on
purchases since 1992; and
WHEREAS, the estimated annual cost to local governments for sales tax on purchases is
$77 million, and this additional cost has not been offset by increases in other state aids to
local governments; and
WHEREAS, the City of Plymouth pays an estimated $125,000 annually in sales tax on
purchases;
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Plymouth,
Minnesota, does hereby support current legislation which will reinstate the sales tax
exemption for local governments, as long as the reinstatement is not dependent on a
corresponding reduction in state aids to governments.
Adopted by the City Council on February 18, 1998.
