The minutes record the board's approval of ballot language for a two-year renewal (2027 through 2028 inclusive) but do not indicate anticipated revenue estimates or program uses tied to the levy language; those details are typically included in accompanying ballot explanatory materials and financial impact statements as required by election law.
