AMEND RESOLUTION 24-169 TO INCLUDE APPLICABLE SALES TAX
WHEREAS, on May 28, 2024, the Lewis County Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) approved Resolution 24-169 to award the contract for the county assessment and tax system to Tyler Technologies; and
WHEREAS, the contract amount approved via Resolution 24-169 -- $1,185,000 -- did not include state sales tax; and
WHEREAS, Lewis County has contacted the Department of Revenue to determine what portion of the total contract is taxable and to determine the amount of sales tax that Lewis County would be required to pay. If the entire contract amount of $1,185,000 is subject to 8.2% sales tax, the total cost could increase by an estimated $97,170; and
WHEREAS, it is in the public's best interest to amend Resolution 24-169 to increase the approved contract amount to include the payment of any applicable sales tax.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED the BOCC hereby amends Resolution 24-169 to reflect an increase in the approved contract total, with the increase equal to the applicable sales tax: up to an 8.2% sales tax on the entire contract price of $1,185,000.
DONE IN OPEN SESSION this 9th day of July, 2024.
