COMES NOW the Plaintiff, Madison County, Tennessee (sometimes hereafter,
"County''), pursuant to the Tennessee Rules of Civil Procedure, by and through its
attorneys of record, and files this Complaint against Defendant, City of Jackson,
Tennessee (sometimes hereafter, "City''), and in support thereof, Plaintiff would show
City Attorney, Mr. Lewis Cobb, esq., at 312 E Lafayette St, Jackson, TN
38301.
3. This Court has jurisdiction and venue over these parties and the subject
STATEMENT OF FACTS
4. This matter concerns the agreem
ent for funding of the Jackson-M
adison
County School System. Prior
to 1989, County and City eac
h operated
separate and distinct school sys
tems.
5. Tennessee Code Annotated
67-6-701, et seq., also known
as the "1963
Local Option Revenue Act", gov
erns the adoption of a local option
sales tax
by counties and cities. The Ac
t provides that a county by res
olution, or a
city by ordinance, is authorize
d to levy a sales tax not to exc
eed 2.75%.
However, the Act further provid
es that 'Ta]ny ordinance .or res
olution of a
county or of a city or town lev
ying the tax under authority of
this pa rt sha ll
no t become operative until ap
pro ved in an election herein pro
vid ed in the
county or the city or town, as the
case ma y be ." Tennessee Code
Annotated
67-6-706 (emphasis added).
18. In the 1999 Resolution, and in support thereof, the City Coun
cil stated:
WHEREAS, on March 20, 1989, the Madison Coun ty Boar
d of
Commissioners pass ed a Resolution authorizing the impos
ition of a
1 % increase in the local option sales tax; and
CLAIMS
upon the City to continue its allocation of local option sales tax revenue to
education, based upon reason, justice and principles of equity. The parties'
respective promise to each allocate its portion of the increased local option
induced not only the County to support the Plan (significantly increasing its
obligations and liabilities) and the tax increase; it induced the voters of
Madison County, both City and non-City residents, to support the same. It
and retained the benefit of its bargain (relief from the responsibilities of
maintaining a City school system; veto power over the disposition of former
City school buildings; the City also endorsed and approved the
arrangement, depriving the County of its own benefit of the bargain. 'The
City having received the benefit of its bargain in the early years of the
during the period when Bradley County is receiving its benefit." City of
48. Based upon the foregoing, the County asks the Cour
t to find that a Contract
in Law exists, to impose an obligation upon the City
to continue the funding
arrangement it has assented to for twenty-eight years
, and for such further
and general equitable relief as the court sees fit to give.
COUNTY OF MADISON )
OATH
Jimm y Harris, duly sworn, makes oath that he
is the Mayor of Madison County,
Tennessee, that the facts stated in the foregoing
Complaint, to the best of his knowledge
and belief are true, and that the Complaint is mad
e in sincerity and truth for the causes
mentioned therein.
