An audit of revenues by Giles County recently uncovered questions about the division of sales tax revenues, and the Tennessee Department of Revenue is trying to determine how much Minor Hill may owe the county.

Mayor Tracy Wilburn told the board he hopes the amount concerning division of sales tax revenues on utility sales between the county and Minor Hill Utility District could be resolved by next month.

Also, during the monthly meeting, it was announced if anyone is interested in serving on the Minor Hill Board of Mayor and Aldermen is asked to attend the board meeting on December 2nd. A vacancy on the board was made recently with the resignation of Scott Jarrell. The seat held by his successor will be on the ballot in the August 2020 city election.

Board members approved increasing a monthly fee to $1.50 per land line, from $1.16 and revenues will go to E-911 for recurring expenses.

The monthly profit and loss statement showed total income of $19,456 and expenses of $19,743 in October. Accounting for the most revenues were local beer taxes of $5,415 and state sales taxes of $4,153.

The Minor Hill Police Department issued 11 citations in October, eight for speeding with fines of $1,265 and court costs of $266 were generated.
