The tax rate shall initially be set at 0.1616 percent of the selling price (in the case of a sales tax) or value of the article used (in the case of a use tax). The tax rate may be adjusted by ordinance of the city council from time to time so that it is set at the rate reasonably necessary to receive the state contribution over 10 months, in accordance with RCW 82.14.475(3)(b), but shall not exceed the rate established by Resolution No. 1242 of the city. (Ord. 2132 § 4, 2013).
