CAPTION: Renew Five Year Local Option Tax for Police Operations.
QUESTION: Shall City renew the police levy of $.28 per $1,000 of assessed value for five years beginning July 1, 2019? This measure renews current local option taxes.
SUMMARY: The City will use this local option tax to renew funding of one full-time police officer position, and in addition, to partially fund one additional full-time police officer position. Should this Ballot Measure not be enacted, the police department would eliminate one police officer position. The proposed levy is $.28 per $1,000 of assessed value or $ 56.00 per year for a $200,000 house. The levy will begin in the tax year beginning July 1, 2019, and will end in the tax year ending June 30, 2024. The money raised can only be used for police operations.
It is estimated this local option tax will raise approximately $168,589.00 in 2019‑2020,
$173,647.00 in 2020‑2021, $178,222.00 in 2021-2022, $184,220.00 in 2022‑2023, and $189,749.00 in 2023‑2024, for a total of $ 895,063.00 over the five year period.
The estimated tax cost for this measure is an estimate only based on the best information available from the County Assessor at the time of estimate.
