010 BOOK ~L PEGF 589 The Board considered a possible change to the sales tax distribution method. Finance Director Lisa Minter presented to the Board research she had completed, per the County Manager's request, on changing from per capita distribution of sales tax to ad valorem distribution. She told the Board that the major benefactors of the change, if approved, would be the fire districts and the Central Business District in Sanford. The City of Sanford and the Town of Broadway would both see a reduction in their sales tax revenue. The County could possibly see an increase of 1% in sales tax revenue. If the Board chooses to change the distribution method, a resolution must be adopted during the month of April choosing the ad valorem method of distribution for the next fiscal year and file a copy of the resolution with the Secretary in Raleigh within fifteen days of its adoption. After some discussion, County Manager William Cowan was instructed to draft a resolution for consideration and forward a letter to the City of Sanford and Town of Broadway telling them this matter will be considered in April.
