Last night, the Mount Vernon City Council approved its second reading of a proposed wheel tax.
The flat fee would vary by vehicle and would go towards street and curb repairs.
A passenger car would be $25.
The funds raised from the tax would be around $157,000 annually.
This would keep the city eligible for future Community Crossings grant money.
The third and final reading is set for July 30 at 6:30 p.m. at City Hall.
