Resolution 19-13

The Monroe County Local Income Tax (MC LIT) Council consists of four member-fiscal bodies: (1) the City of Bloomington Common Council; (2) the Monroe County Council; (3) the Town of Ellettsville Town Council; and, (4) the Town of Stinesville Town Council. Six departments and volunteer fire departments - all of which serve political subdivisions that would not receive a distribution of Public Safety Local Income Tax in 2020 - filed applications with the MC LIT Council seeking distributions of Public Safety Local Income Tax for 2020 in accordance with IC 6- 3.6-6-8(c). The MC LIT Council formed a Public Safety Local Income Tax (PS LIT) Committee to, among other duties, review and consider those applications and, upon the completion of that review and consideration, make a recommendation to the members of the MC LIT Council. This year, Monroe County Council agreed to conduct that review and make recommendations to the PS LIT Committee. After adjustment of those recommendations, to bring the amount within the agreed upon set aside, the PS LIT Committee adopted those recommendations. Resolution 19-13 brings forward those recommendations and would cast the City of Bloomington’s majority of votes on the MC LIT Council in favor of allocating Public Safety Local Income Tax revenue in 2020 to the following Qualifying Service Providers: (1) Bean Blossom Stinesville Volunteer Fire Department, Inc.; (2) Benton Township of Monroe County Volunteer Fire Department; (3) Ellettsville Fire Department (for service to Richland Township); (4) Monroe Fire Protection District; 5) Northern Monroe Fire Territory; and, 6) Van Buren Township Fire Department.
