Regular City Council Meeting <br /> Monday,June 20,2011 <br /> Page 14 <br /> Councilmember Willmus echoed Councilmember Johnson's remarks; and sug- <br /> gested that the group continue to look at it as one possibility, recognizing that it <br /> may be a long-shot, but worth consideration from both a referendum or legislative <br /> point of view. <br /> Mayor Roe noted that the City of Medford, with a population of approximately <br /> 700, recently received legislative approval of a local sales tax based on the local <br /> outlet mall, and that it could possibly happen, even in a highly-competitive envi- <br /> ronment. <br /> Commissioner Ristow opined that shoppers had money, and that a local sales tax <br /> option would not take money from elderly residents or young families who may <br /> not have the money. <br /> Councilmember McGehee advised that she had lived in a community where a lo- <br /> cal sales tax option was used, and it proved very successful.
