Board authorizes $38 million bond measure; advisers outline ballot language and tax estimate
Summary
Trustees approved Resolution 12627 to place a $38 million school bond on the November ballot and heard bond-adviser guidance about ballot statements; advisers estimated a tax of about $49 per $100,000 of assessed value and noted timelines for ballot arguments.
The board voted to place Resolution 12627 on the November ballot, authorizing up to $38,000,000 in general obligation bonds. Bond adviser Jeff explained what will appear in the voter materials: a 75-word ballot question, an accompanying tax-rate statement, and an optional 300-word argument that a committee of up to five community members may prepare and submit for the county packet.
An audience member asked about the tax impact. Jeff said the measure as proposed would cost roughly $49 per $100,000 of assessed value (the district could ask up to $60 per $100,000 but opted for a lower ask to balance community willingness to pay). "If you have a house that's assessed at $100,000, it'll cost $49," he said, and the district is proposing $38 million in authorization.
Trustees discussed the project list in the resolution and how the list functions as the official scope; Jeff noted the posted ballot materials will include the short ballot statement and tax-rate appendix, while the full project list is part of the resolution and available in district documents. The board passed the resolution on a voice vote, recorded as 5-0 in favor.
