DE PERE, WI (WTAQ) – A local community could soon implement a $20 wheel tax.
De Pere’s Public Works Board is expected to consider that matter Monday, with the public having a chance to comment at the 7:30 pm City Hall gathering.
City officials estimate the tax could bring in $200,000 in 2018 and $400,000 in subsequent years.
Revenues would be used to fund street construction projects and sidewalk repairs.
To be enacted, the city council would need to give unanimous support for the tax.
If not, a second reading must be held.
At that point, the vote no longer needs to be unanimous.
Once approved by the council, the wheel tax could be enacted within three months.
