RESOLUTION 2018-84 <br />A Resolution of the Board of County Commissioners of Boulder County approving a ballot <br />title for the November 6, 2018 general election to extend an existing 0.185% countywide <br />sales and use tax and repurpose the use of proceeds of such extended tax for constructing <br />an alternative sentencing facility at the Boulder County Jail, expanding alternative <br />sentencing and offender management programs and inmate services, and other jail <br />modernization projects. <br />Recitals: <br />A. The Board has adopted Resolution No. 2018-76 referring a ballot measure to the <br />November 6, 2018 general election ballot. <br />B. The Board desires to determine the ballot title for the measure referred for <br />placement on the ballot for the November 6, 2018 election. <br />C. Pursuant to Sections 30-11-103.5 and 31-11-111(3), C.R.S., as amended, the <br />Board must fix a ballot title according to the following guidelines: consider the public confusion <br />that might be caused by a misleading title; avoid a title for which the general understanding of <br />the effect of a "yes" or "no" vote would be unclear; no conflict with titles selected for any other <br />measure that will appear on the County ballot in the same election; and the title shall correctly <br />and fairly express the true intent and meaning of the measure. <br />D. The Board finds that the ballot title set forth below meets the statutory guidelines. <br />Therefore, the Board resolves: <br />1. In accordance with the statutory guidelines, the Board sets the following ballot <br />title for the measure proposed in Resolution No. 2018-76: <br />COUNTY ISSUE (Alternative Sentencing Facility and Jail Modernization Countywide <br />Sales and Use Tax Extension): - <br />WITH NO INCREASE IN ANY COUNTY TAX, SHALL THE COUNTY EXTEND AN <br />EXISTING 0.185% SALES AND USE TAX SET TO EXPIRE DECEMBER 31, 2019, FOR <br />FIVE (5) YEARS TO AND INCLUDING DECEMBER 31, 2024, FOR THE PURPOSE OF <br />FUNDING CONSTRUCTION OF AN ALTERNATIVE SENTENCING FACILITY AT THE <br />BOULDER COUNTY JAIL AND PROVIDING EXPANDED ALTERNATIVE SENTENCING <br />AND OFFENDER MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS TO KEEP LOW -RISK OFFENDERS OUT <br />OF EXPENSIVE JAIL BEDS AND ENABLE BETTER OUTCOMES FOR THE JAIL <br />POPULATION; MODERNIZATION OF THE CURRENT JAIL BUILDING, INCLUDING <br />BUT NOT LIMITED TO, NEEDED INFRASTRUCTURE REPLACEMENT, RENOVATIONS <br />AND REPURPOSING TO PROVIDE A SAFER ENVIRONMENT AND ADDITIONAL <br />SERVICES TO MEET THE MENTAL AND PHYSICAL HEALTH NEEDS OF INMATES; <br />AND SHALL THE PROCEEDS AND THE EARNINGS ON THE INVESTMENT OF THE <br />PROCEEDS OF SUCH TAX CONSTITUTE A VOTER -APPROVED REVENUE CHANGE; <br />1 <br />255739v2 <br />16 <br />
