Board discusses placing one‑cent county sales tax on April agenda to fund facilities, security
Summary
Administrators said a one‑cent county sales tax could be placed on the ballot to fund facilities and security; Freeman said the revenue "would go to facilities and security" and the resolution will be considered at the April board meeting.
The board discussed whether to join other districts in requesting a one‑cent county sales tax on the ballot.
Freeman told trustees that county districts have met and discussed adding a one‑cent sales tax; he said the revenue "would go to facilities and security" and that a majority of districts must pass a similar resolution for the question to appear on the ballot. He noted the last countywide measure narrowly failed in 2019 (51%–49%). The board was told the resolution would be on the April meeting for approval and that a talking‑point sheet would be provided to trustees to answer public questions.
Members asked for communications support and materials to explain the measure to constituents. No vote was taken at the March 9 meeting; the board scheduled consideration of the resolution for its April meeting.
