That this Council concerned at the need for sustainable funding for local government and services and being dissatisfied with the unfair and unworkable elements of the current Local Property Tax, calls on the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government and the Minister for Finance to amend the relevant legislation so as to provide for a system of funding for Local Government that is based on the provision of local services; on site value not property value; that is linked on ability to pay; that is linked to general taxation; and, that enables Local Authorities to engage with their citizens in setting service levels, in determining budgets and in levying charges. That the Chief Executive convey the contents of this motion to the above Ministers and that a copy be circulated to all City and County Councils and to the AILG.
