By Allen Turner [email protected]

Columbus County Manager Bill Clark will present commis- sioners with proposals tonight (Monday) to finance $73.4 million in construction for Whiteville City Schools with a steep property tax increase, with or without a sales tax increase. The meeting gets under way at 6:30 p.m. in the courthouse annex on West Smith Street. One of Clark’s proposals calls for a quarter-cent increase in the sales tax and an increase of the ad valorem property tax rate of 8.59 cents to 89.09 cents per $100 value. His second plan would include a property tax increase of 9.42 cents without a sales tax hike, or 89.92 cents total per $100 value. That is in addition to the 2.5 cents ad valorem tax increase he needed to finance proposed county school system construction totaling almost $70.5 million. Clark also said Friday morning that the 2.5 cents proposed property tax hike already presented to commissioners for coun- ty school construction would need to be increased. It was for- mulated with all of the quarter-cent sales tax increase going to the Columbus County Schools instead of being split with Whiteville City Schools. Voter approval of a sales tax increase is far from assured. Columbus County voters historically have not favored sales tax hikes, having turned down such increases three times since 2006. County commissioners have expressed a reluctance to increase property taxes, despite the two school systems having asked for more than $143 million combined for construction purposes.
