<UNKNOWN>
Resolution Resolution No. 92-15(a) and Resolution No. 92-15(b)
In Plain English
The city charges a utility user tax on electric, gas, water, and phone bills. Two contractors will help collect this tax: the state board handles prepaid mobile phone taxes under a 2012 law, while MuniServices ensures businesses pay the correct amount. These contracts help the city collect tax revenue that funds general city services.
