NEW BUSINESS NB-29 CONSOLIDATED TAX DISTRIBUTION FORMULA IDENTIFIED ISSUES FINANCE DEPARTMENT Identified issues that warrant examination related to the Consolidated Tax Distribution Formula. Richard Derrick, Finance Director, reported that Assembly Bill 71, which was passed during the 2011 Legislative Session, provides the opportunity to review the structure of the Consolidated Tax Distribution Formula.

Staff has identified the following issues: 1) lack of dynamic base adjustments; 2) excess distribution formula inequities; and 3) lack of comprehensive fail safe mechanisms.
