The policy, passed at the April 26 council meeting, was spurred on by the campaign to raise money for a Humboldt Broncos Tribute Centre. “Currently, there is no policy in place so the adoption of the policy would provide a clear guideline to follow for the issuing of the receipts,” Jace Porten, the city’s finance manager, told council. The policy requires that council approve every capital project or activity to be eligible for a tax receipt. To approve it, council must determine that it provides a benefit for the community. Michael Behiel, Humboldt mayor, said the new policy was an excellent idea and that it might encourage additional donations.
