<br />information or to actually forward payment of collected sales tax revenues
<br />to the appropriate state agency shall void any responsibility of the
<br />county to pay incentives to the developer under the terms of the C/RDI
<br />grant agreement.
<br />Cities/towns must agree to abide by the terms of this proposal for it to
<br />be applied to sites within the cities/towns or a site subject to
<br />annexation during the term of the agreement. The C/RDI grant formula
<br />applied to a project within one of the county's cities/towns will be
<br />applied at the same level as authorized by the Board of County
<br />Commissioners.
<br />The incentive grants will apply to the first 1 cent and two h cent local
<br />sales taxes received by the county (and municipalities if applicable)
<br />based upon distribution formulas authorized by the State Department of
<br />Revenue and adopted each year by the County Commission. It should be
<br />recognized that the first 1 cent is a situs based tax and the two h cent
<br />taxes are distributed on a state-wide formula established by the
<br />legislature. For purposes of reference, the two h cent sales taxes each
<br />equated to approximately 58% of the revenues from the local full 1 cent
<br />sales tax each for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996. In other words,
<br />the total revenues from the two h cent taxes equated to approximately 116%
<br />of the full local 1 cent sales tax for that period.
<br />The County Commission annually establishes a local sales tax distribution
<br />formula as authorized by North Carolina Statutes. The County Commission
<br />retains the option of selecting between allowable methods authorized for
<br />determination of the formula to be used during any particular fiscal
<br />period. The County's share of the local sales tax revenues is reduced by
<br />an allocation to local fire districts ( the level of that reduction for
<br />1997 amounted to 2.41% of the total County's share). A history of recent
<br />distribution allocations of local sales tax revenues between the county
<br />and its municipalities is provided for reference:
