Board discusses levy/bond planning and requests tax‑impact estimates by mid‑July
Summary
Board members discussed forming a levy committee and requested staff provide millage and tax‑impact estimates and the cost to place an issue on the ballot; a decision whether to seek funding should be reached by mid‑August, staff said.
Board members discussed whether the district should pursue additional funding via a levy or bond issue and the timeline for deciding whether to go to voters.
One board member said the district has until mid‑August (board members cited August 9) to decide whether to seek ballot approval and recommended forming a levy committee to handle outreach and campaign groundwork. "By July... the board needs to pass a resolution on whether we are going to go out and seek additional funding for a bond issue," the board member said.
Treasurer Miss Adams told the board she would provide tax‑impact scenarios the next day, including quarter‑percent income tax increments and what 1 mill of property tax would generate, and that she had called the Board of Elections to determine any costs associated with placing an issue on the ballot.
Board members agreed to place the topic on the next board meeting agenda for open discussion and to return with the requested financial information to guide a decision.
