authorization and impact of a local cigarette tax on the County's reliance on other

take effect until July 1, 2021.

County of$300,000 and small businesses will be impacted more than anyone else.

deter some smokers from buying cigarettes and impact their health positively.

other areas such as food and gas.
Supervisor McCarty commented that he is not in favor of imposing the highest
amount of tax and he would like to see some other options
Chairman Grice moved that action on the proposed ordinance be tabled and the
request of the Western Tidewater Free Clinic for funding in the amount of
$87,000 be incorporated into the discussion as the Board progresses into the

applicant is an auxiliary police officer who regularly uses a motor vehicle
to respond to auxiliary police duties, and it shall state that the vehicle for
which the classification is sought is the vehicle which is regularly used for
