Council asks for one‑page plan and sets timeline for further discussion on school ballot options
Summary
Council members asked the district to provide a one‑page summary of proposed uses for new school revenue and discussed meeting dates (Aug. 4, Aug. 11, Aug. 12) and the latest ballot filing deadline (staff cited Sep. 5).
Council and staff agreed on follow-up steps to give members time to consider ballot language and outreach strategies. Staff asked the district to provide a single-page summary of how new revenue would be used; the district agreed to provide materials in time for the packet deadline if possible.
Council discussed timing and noted the following calendar options: an Aug. 4 work session (considered too soon by several members), a work session on Aug. 11 to continue discussion, and the regular meeting on Aug. 12 as a possible adoption date. City staff warned that to place a question on the ballot in this cycle a final decision would likely need to be made by early September (staff referenced Sep. 5 as a latest cut-off date). The council did not finalize ballot language but directed further internal and county-level outreach.
