City panel weighs sales tax renewal to fund transit, roads
Garden City officials discuss renewing a half cent sales tax to stabilize the property tax levy and finance transportation projects. The plan could raise property taxes 48 percent without renewal and funds six road projects between 2005 and 2008. City talks also cover the Fast-Trac program for traffic violations and reallocating bond funds for Big Pool improvements. Two city department heads announce resignations.
