Council weighs $10.8 million bond plan and tax impact
The council warns a graduated property tax rise from 1.49 to 1.75 per 100 assessed value would be needed to fund the proposed 10.8 million bond issue. No dates set for subcommittee meetings, while a city sales tax option might reduce tax needs, pending April 1970 voter law changes. Bond items include water, sewer, streets, parks, waste, public buildings, and a municipal golf course.
