The Hutchinson, Kansas council amended the Community Improvement District for the Meyer Landmark redevelopment at 501 N. Main, removing residential units from the 2 percent CID sales tax while keeping it on the commercial first floor. Finance Director Angela Richard said the change followed city officials determining that residents would otherwise be subject to the additional tax, and that the Kansas Department of Revenue approved separating the commercial and residential addresses to implement it. Council Member Stacy Goss cast the lone dissenting vote, consistent with her opposition to the original CID. The operational lesson for any district drawing boundaries around a mixed-use building: address-level separation is administratively possible but requires state revenue department cooperation, and it is far easier to specify in the original petition than to fix by amendment after residents have moved in.

Watch: Whether the reimbursement schedule changes now that the residential base is out of the collection.
