Proposed Revenue Ballot Questions for 2014

Hello,

Below are the three revenue ballot questions for 2014 that I have proposed to City Council via a recent study session.  Obviously these ballot questions need to be vetted further by the community and City Council, but you can get the gist of the proposals.  The total sales tax increase if all three questions passed would be one (1) penny per dollar spent in Wheat Ridge.  Two of the questions would sunset after the debt was retired.

38th Ave Final Design/Funding Ballot Question – MarshallUpham St.

  • ¨      via Bonds
  • ¨      .25 sales tax ($1.5 million/pear)
  • ¨      5-7 years
  • ¨      Sunset
  • ¨      $7.5 million – $10.5 Million

Wheat Ridge Recreation Center Expansion

  • ¨      via Bonds
  • ¨      .25 sales tax ($1.5 million/pear)
  • ¨      7-10 years
  • ¨      Sunset
  • ¨      $10.5 million – $15 Million

General Operating and Capital Fund

  • ¨      .50 sales tax ($3.0 million/pear)
  • ¨      Perpetuity
