PAGE FOUR <br />SUBJECT: DISCUSSION — CONTINUATION OF THE CITY SALES AND USE TAX FOR <br />OPENSPACE ACQUISITION, DEVELOPMENT AND RELATED PURPOSES <br />DATE: FEBRUARY 13, 2012 <br />The Louisville Citizen Survey will be conducted shortly and questions may be included that <br />attempt to discern support for the tax and /or questions relative to the amount of the tax, length <br />of term and options for expansion. Staff has scheduled a June 5, 2012 presentation to the <br />City Council on the results of the Louisville Citizen Survey, which would allow some time for <br />review and consideration of alternatives, based on survey responses. Attachment 2 is an <br />election calendar reflecting the deadlines for placing a measure on the ballot. July 3, 2012 is <br />the last regular City Council meeting to pass on 1st reading any ordinance referring TABOR <br />ballot issues to the voters. <br />FISCAL IMPACT: <br />It will cost approximately $35,000 to place a TABOR question on the ballot for 2012 in a <br />coordinated election with Boulder County (polling place election). The City budgeted $42,000 <br />in the 2012 budget for this purpose (because the City must also have an election for the Ward <br />1 Council vacancy, which should use the remaining funds). <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Discussion <br />ATTACHMENTS: <br />1. Fund forecast, capital projects, revenues and expenditures for 2012 through 2016 <br />2. 2012 Election Calendar <br />5 <br />
