At last night's meeting of the city council of the City of Salida, Colorado, council members and the mayor showed their full support for the efforts of the administration and Board of Directors for Salida R-32-J School District by carefully considering potential ballot measures for the November general election.
The school district has been working for nearly a year on determining the district's needs and preparing plans for addressing those needs. Part of that plan includes possible ballot measures which potentially could call for a bond referendum and up to three separate mill levy override options.
The city council listened to comments from the school district superintendent, John Rouse, and from Board member, Penny Wilken. After considering their comments and other feedback from citizens who were present, the council decided to place just two tax-related measures on the November ballot. Neither of these two measures in any way competes with those that the school board is likely to ask voters to consider. One is a hotel room occupancy tax and the other is a 1% sales tax that includes rescinding the city's portion of the property tax.
School officials and board members appreciate the support shown by the mayor and the council as evidenced by the council's actions.
