The policy for the application process for City of Sheridan General Purpose Excise Tax Funds was first adopted in 2020 and amended in 2023 to guide the local nonprofit applicants through the City’s GPET funding process. City Clerk Ashlee Foster said that during the Fiscal Year 2026 application cycle, staff recognized a need to simplify the timeline and reduce redundancy across policy documents.
At Monday night’s City Council study session, Foster said that a resolution has been crafted with the goal of improving accountability and setting clearer expectations for both the City and funding recipients.
Foster said that eligibility remains unchanged, only non-profit and governmental organizations may apply for the GPET and that there are no changes to funding levels or the City’s adopted budget as a result of this resolution. It was not determined at Monday’s study session if the resolution would come before the City Council for consideration at their next business meeting on August 4.
