Nemaha County Courthouse
(KMZA)---A one-half percent retailer's sales tax to fund health care services in Nemaha County will end June 30th, 2025 unless renewed by voters.
The Nemaha County Commission, during a special meeting Wednesday, considered for adoption a resolution placing a special question on the November general election ballot allowing voters to decide if the sales tax should be renewed for an additional ten-year period.
Commissioner Dylan Keim made a motion to adopt the resolution. However, the motion died due to the lack of a second. Commissioner Jason Koch was absent.
Representatives of the Nemaha Valley Community Hospital in Seneca and Sabetha Community Hospital requested the Commission take the action.
The sales tax was approved by Nemaha County voters in April 2015.
Proceeds from the sales tax are divided between the two hospitals, with 55 percent going to the Nemaha Valley Community Hospital and 45 percent to the Sabetha Community Hospital.
The funding is used by the hospitals for capital improvements, equipment upgrades and general operating expenses.
