§ 6-9-59-9 — Uses of revenue

Money in the food and beverage tax receipts
fund must be used by the town only for the following purposes:
(1) To reduce the town's property tax levy for a particular year at
the discretion of the town, but this use does not reduce the
maximum permissible ad valorem property tax levy under IC 6-1.1-18.5 for the town.
(2) For economic development purposes, including the pledge of
money under IC 5-1-14-4 for bonds, leases, or other obligations
for economic development purposes.
(3) To create new parks and amenities, and to expand and
enhance existing parks and amenities.
(4) To upgrade, expand, and otherwise improve the town's water,
sanitary sewer, and storm water utilities.
Revenue derived from the imposition of a tax under this chapter may
be treated by the town as additional revenue for the purpose of fixing
its budget for the budget year during which the revenues are to be
distributed to the town.
