1. Why is the City proposing a road repair and street safety sales tax?

• Delaying street repairs results in more costly repairs later
• Safe and well-maintained streets are a key service provided by the City
• Recent budget constraints have limited the City’s ability to keep up with needed improvements

2. Why is this important to me?

• Safe streets connect people to work, schools, doctors’ offices, grocery stores; places that are vital to everyone’s well-being

3. How are voters assured that the money will be only used as stated in the ballot?

The ballot language, a citizen’s commission with oversight responsibilities, and the required separate accounting for revenues from the special sales tax all guarantee the monies will only be used for road repair and street safety related costs.
