Staff previews parcel-tax options; district weighing flat-rate and revenue-split choices
Summary
Staff said a parcel-tax resolution is being drafted and that consultants are working on structure options including a flat-rate plan; staff will provide revenue scenarios and assessor data before board action, with ballot deadlines running through June.
District staff told the subcommittee they are drafting a parcel-tax resolution and exploring structure options for a parcel-tax measure that could be placed on a future ballot.
Unidentified Speaker 2 said staff are working with consultants and named Greg Isom and Charles Fieth as people helping to structure the measure. Speaker 2 said Charles "provided a flat rate option for us for this year to be able to do the work" and staff are evaluating how revenue would be split between the high school and elementary districts and what assessor information will show about per-square-foot valuations and revenue scenarios.
Staff said they hope to have additional materials by the end of the week for conversation leading up to a Dec. 10 packet, though they acknowledged the Dec. 10 board meeting is crowded and suggested the Jan. or Feb. timeline might allow fuller analysis. Staff reminded the committee that the deadline to place a measure on the ballot runs through June; committee members asked for revenue scenarios under different structures before board action.
No formal motion or vote on a parcel-tax action occurred at the Dec. 1 subcommittee meeting; staff will return with a draft resolution and revenue scenarios for future discussion and possible board action.
