RESOLUTION OF THE LEGISLATURE OF THE COUNTY OF CORTLAND,

PROVIDING AN EXEMPTION FROM SALES AND COMPENSATING USE TAXES

FOR RECEIPTS FROM RETAIL SALES OF, AND CONSIDERATION GIVEN OR CONTRACTED TO BE GIVEN FOR, CERTAIN CLOTHING AND FOOTWEAR, PURSUANT TO THE AUTHORITY OF ARTICLE 29 OF THE TAX LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

BE IT ENACTED, by the Legislature of the County of Cortland, as follows:

SECTION 1. Section six of Resolution No. 216 of 1967, as amended, is amended by adding a new subdivision (h) to read as follows:

(h) Receipts from sales of and consideration given or contracted to be given for

SECTION 2. This resolution shall take effect March 1, 2001, and shall apply to sales made and uses occurring on or after that date although made or occurring under a prior contract.

SECTION 3. This resolution shall expire on February 28, 2002 unless otherwise extended or reenacted by the Cortland County Legislature with appropriate approval of the State of New York.

Mrs. Price explained that New York State is two years late with the reporting of sales tax revenue to the counties, so it is not possible to have an accurate picture of the impact of the removal of sales tax. Mrs. Contento said she would vote against the resolution until she saw the dollar impact on the budget. Mr. O'Mara said that the sales tax revenue is up, even with the estimated $350k loss and he thought that people were spending the money in different ways. Mr. Wern suggested the legislators talk to the merchants who are seeing an increase in shoppers from outside the area. Mrs. Price added that now we also had to look at the impact of possible removal of energy sales tax.

Ms. Jackie Gailor, Director of Health, said the legislators have always been very supportive of the health programs in Cortland County. She said $45k has been spent towards prevention in Cortland County, with the primary emphasis focused on youth to make the decision against tobacco use. Mr. Boise said it was wise to emphasize prevention; he objected to money being used for a sting operation, as was the case in Agenda No. 48. Mr. Forbes commented that public statements are made about the harmful effects of smoking and then institutions such as the Cortland Memorial Hospital and Cortland County provide facilities for their employees to smoke. Mrs. Richards agreed with Mr. Forbes and said the only hope was in prevention. Mr. Thomas brought up the subject of the bookcovers that were discussed during the public hearing. He said there was nothing wrong with the covers since they conveyed the 'don't smoke' message. Mr. Harrington added that, statistically, the largest age group of new smokers was the 19-22 year old college student. He said the message is out there and it needs to be reinforced particularly for the young adults.
