Former Fort Oglethorpe City Manager Ron GoulartOfficials in Catoosa County, Ga., moved closer Friday to putting together a list of public projects to be funded by a 1 cent sales tax – should voters approve the tax on March 19.
“They’ve done some revisions. I think they’ve got it down,” Fort Oglethorpe City Manager Ron Goulart said following an afternoon meeting in Ringgold, Ga.
The list of special purpose local option sales tax projects has to be ready in time for the city councils of Fort Oglethorpe and Ringgold to vote on it at their Jan. 14 meetings. The Catoosa County Commission also must approve.
Goulart’s main concern was getting funding to help pay down the debt on $11 million the city borrowed for sewer projects.
“I’ve got to make sure I can pay the debt service off,” he said.
