Here are the three measures that were passed at last Thursday night’s special meeting of the Searcy City Council:

1. Ordinance 2011-29,  levying a 1% tax on all sales in the city of Searcy for 15 months.
2. Ordinance 2011-30, which calls for a special election on the tax, to be held on December 13th, 2011.
3. Resolution 2011-11, which expresses the city council’s support for the tax & the bypass project.

As you can see, the tax ordinance does incorporate some of the suggestions made here on The Patriot.
