Peoria Councilmember Elected Chair of Municipal Tax Code Commission

Councilmember Ken Forgia, of the Mesquite District, was elected chair of the Municipal Tax Code Commission for the coming year. Councilmember Forgia has served on the commission for three consecutive three-year terms, and was elected to the chair (a one-year position) by the board.

"I’m happy to continue my service on the Municipal Tax Code Commission," said Forgia. "You won’t find us on the front page, but we’re an important part of the revenue structure for Arizona’s cities."

The commission’s membership is comprised of the Director of the Department of Revenue (or an appointed representative) and nine other members who are mayors or members of governing bodies of cities or town that have adopted the model city tax code. The commission’s exclusive responsibility is to comment on language presented by any governing entity or taxpayer for the purpose of supporting, modifying or exempting taxable commodities under the model city tax code.
