Property tax reform

A District 1 resident asked for specific numbers on how many city employees would be furloughed and how quickly if the property tax referendum passes.

Urged the city not to fear-monger in its tax education campaign and to reconsider a public-private partnership for a new city hall that could save hundreds of millions.

Asked for a plain-impact newsletter for taxpayers and suggested a League of Women Voters-style balanced informational piece before the November election.

Dillard Park HOA president from District 3 asked how projects already slow to get done would fare if property tax revenue is cut, and asked for direct education outreach to his community.
