Of the revenues received to the town of Minturn, 80% will go to capital improvements such as roads and sidewalks. The other 20% would go to the general fund. This tax is only collected when the contractor is issued a building permit and the estimated materials cost calculated using a standard national valuation is then levied. Documenta- tion would be provided that when presented to a building materials outlet in another municipality would exempt the presenter from municipal sales tax at that location. This will result in a redirection of your tax money from another municipality to Minturn. The Use Tax collected allows Minturn to improve and ex- pand the infrastructure in support of the very development producing the revenue and impacts. These improvements will also result in better services for our citizens now and in the future. In receiving this revenue and implementing improvements, this will lessen the burden on our citizens to fund these needed infrastructure projects themselves. I urge all our citizens of Minturn to vote YES on this ballot issue to support improvements to our aging infrastructure, especially since it will involve no increased costs, and in- deed would lessen our burden in the future. Summary of Written Comments AGAINST Ballot Issue No. 2A: No comments were filed by the constitutional deadline.
