Ballot wordage on city bond issue challenged by law director
City commissioners were told that bond issue language on the November ballot must follow state law though funded by income tax rather than a property tax. Ellison said 55 percent approval is needed for 10 million in bonds for streets, sewage expansion and downtown parking with the ballot language requiring a general tax levy to meet the bonds. He noted income tax revenue can retire the bonds and a separate tax levy is not required.
