Councilman Wales introduced the following resolution:
RESOLUTION NUMBER 2016-1466
A RESOLUTION OPPOSING STATE LEGISLATION DESIGNED TO TAKE FUNDING FROM ATHENS
AND LIMESTONE COUNTY SCHOOLS
WHEREAS, for years, the Limestone County and Athens City school systems have been based on certain
countywide sales and property taxes collected throughout all parts of Limestone County (the “Countywide School
Taxes”);
WHEREAS, the Limestone County and Athens City school systems’ existing financial plans and
commitments rely on the proceeds from the Countywide School Taxes;
WHEREAS, as the City of Madison and City of Huntsville have annexed territory in Limestone County,
those cities and their school systems did so despite being fully aware that their new annexed areas would be subject
to the Countywide School Taxes, and that the Countywide School Taxes would continue to be collected throughout
Limestone County and distributed to Athens City and Limestone County school systems;
WHEREAS, although the repeated annexations into Limestone County wreak havoc upon the Limestone
County school system’s ability to engage in capital and student growth planning, the continued collection of the
Countywide School Taxes have provided a measure of stability to the county school system’s funding, despite the
ongoing annexation;
WHEREAS, the Legislature’s design of the Countywide School Taxes did not (and does not) restrict
annexation into Limestone County, but it ensures that as annexation occurs, the neighboring Limestone County and
Athens City school systems are not harmed as a result of it;
WHEREAS, for many years, the cities of Madison and Huntsville have enjoyed a sales tax surplus
generated by visiting Limestone County shoppers, while Limestone County has suffered from sales tax leakage by
comparison, which has historically drawn tax proceeds away from Athens and Limestone County schools;
WHEREAS, the Legislature’s design of the Countywide School Taxes ensures some measure of
recompense for those years of lost tax proceeds;
WHEREAS, the Legislature’s design of the Countywide School Taxes has been a fair and equitable way to
address some of the problems caused by annexation;
WHEREAS, although the Countywide School Taxes have gained much attention in recent weeks, they
comprise only a small part of the overall tax burden in the areas of Huntsville and Madison located within
Limestone County;
WHEREAS, the Legislature’s allocation of TVA payments in lieu of taxes to the Athens City and
Limestone County school systems has likewise been appropriate and fair, as the Legislature provides Madison and
Huntsville’s school systems with their own TVA payments in lieu of taxes through Madison County local
legislation;
WHEREAS, despite the above, some are now seeking to change the distribution of the Countywide School
Taxes and TVA funds, through both lawsuits and legislation, to seize this longtime school funding of the Athens Cit
y and Limestone County schools;
WHEREAS, House Bill 337 seeks to redistribute certain of these Countywide School Taxes in a different
manner, reducing the funds allocated to the Athens City and Limestone County school systems; and
WHEREAS, the Athens City Council opposes House Bill 337, and any similar legislation, as it would
upset the good and careful design of the Countywide School Taxes.
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ATHENS,
ALABAMA on March 28th, 2016 at 5:30 p.m., that it unanimously opposes House Bill 337, as well as any other
legislation designed to seize funding currently being allocated to the Athens and Limestone County school systems
and to distribute it to other school systems through an alteration of any part of the Countywide School Taxes or the
TVA payments in lieu of taxes.
ADOPTED this the 28th day of March, 2016.
