Negotiations on how Hall County and its municipalities will split sales tax revenues will continue after mediation was halted Tuesday.According to Gainesville officials, local option sales tax revenue-sharing mediation lasted for “less than half a day” before Hall County ended discussions with the cities.“We just couldn’t come to an agreement, so the decision was made to end mediation,” Gainesville City Manager Kip Padgett said. In August, LOST revenue-sharing negotiations between leaders in Hall County failed to reach a conclusion and, per law, mediation was required.LOST revenue is meant to help offset governments’ reliance on property taxes to fund day-to-day operations. How it’s distributed is determined every 10 years following a federal count of the population.Hall County has proposed it keep about 75 percent of that revenue, nearly the same as the current agreement.The county’s municipalities want to see that number at around 58 percent and have said they deserve a larger portion because of their individual economic impact.
