Cedar Rapids Bond Proposals Portend Tax Impact
City Treasurer William Heins outlines costs of $8 million civic center, $2.5 million public safety building, and $2.7 million library bonds. Homeowner at $450 yearly would pay about $6.50 more for 30 years or $10.90 more for 13 years if all pass, totaling $460.65 or $468 respectively. Millage needs and total debt rise with shorter terms. 13-year retirement appears more realistic given market.
