The Maysville Board of Aldermen discussed placing a street tax on the April ballot and agreed to promote the proposal at upcoming community meetings. Aldermen thanked Amy Justus for a letter she published in the local paper supporting outreach.
Why it matters: A street tax on the ballot would give voters the choice to dedicate local revenue to street maintenance and repairs; board members said they plan to gauge public opinion before taking any formal action.
Details: The discussion was brief and procedural.

Alderman Amy Justus received explicit thanks from the board for writing a letter to the local paper encouraging community engagement. The board did not set a specific outreach schedule during the meeting.
Next steps: The aldermen said they will continue discussing the street tax at community events and future meetings ahead of the April ballot. No ordinance or ballot language was presented at this session.
