29. Resolution 2005-027 Expressing City Council's Support of the April 5, 2005 Ballot Measure
to Renew the City's Street Maintenance Sales and Use Tax for Ten (10) Additional Years.
(20 minutes - 5 minute staff presentation)
On February 1, 2005, City Council placed a renewal of the City's Street Maintenance sales
and use tax on the April 5, 2005 City election ballot. The current 1/4 cent sales tax has been
in place since voters approved it in 1997. The tax is set to expire December 31, 2005. By
seeking voter approval of the tax extension, uninterrupted funding of the program can be
assured. Ballot Issue No. 3 asks for voter approval to extend the tax for 10 years, with a
term running from January 1, 2006 through December 31, 2015.
The Street Maintenance Program provides funding for the repair and renovation of the City's
street system. All 475 miles of city streets are covered by the program including arterials,
collectors and residential streets. The program covers major maintenance and preventative
maintenance of streets including repairs, renovations and reconstruction when necessary.
Maintenance is also performed on curbs, gutters, bridges, sidewalks, parkways, shoulders
and medians.
The purpose of this resolution is to express City Council's support of Ballot Issue No. 3.
Renewal of the sales tax is a key component of the City's financial stability and the City's
ability to maintain a high quality, efficient transportation system.
