At its meeting Monday night, the Great Bend City Council considered a resolution to ask voters in the upcoming April election if they want to continue the one half-cent city sales tax. The tax first approved by constituents in 2000, will sunset as of April 1, 2015. The purpose of the tax is three-fold – to provide property tax reduction, infrastructure improvements and economic development incentives.
