City Council Meeting Minutes October 7, 2014 Page 3 of 27 BOULDER COUNTY PRESENTATION - NOVEMBER COUNTY BALLOT ISSUES Boulder County Commissioner Elise Jones presented the Boulder County Ballot Issues for the November 4, 2014 Election. She also presented flood medallions to members of Council in appreciation for their collaborative work in the flood recovery efforts. The Board of County Commissioners has approved resolutions to place two County -wide issues on the November ballot. One asks voters to approve a Flood Recovery Sales and Use Tax; the other seeks to extend an existing property (mill levy) tax that provides funding for Human Services Safety Net programs. Flood Recovery Sales and Use Tax — County Issue 1A: Issue 1A provides for a 0.185% sales and use tax for a period of five years (for a total of $49.6 million) to fund flood recovery. The sales tax amount equates to less than 2 cents on a $10 purchase, or 18.5 cents on a $100 purchase within Boulder County limits. Human Services Safety Net Extension — County Issue 1 B: The Board of Commissioners also approved a resolution to ask voters to extend a 0.9 mill ad valorem property tax for an additional term of 15 years to continue to fund crucial safety net services for Boulder County residents. The continued combination of increased need and decreased funding has made it challenging for Boulder County to meet the needs of its most vulnerable residents. She stated this tax has been a direct benefit to Louisville residents and over 2,300 Louisville residents have been served through the Human Services Safety Net tax in the last four years. Boulder County Commissioner Jones stated these two measurers have received support from all of the Boulder County Communities. She urged Council members to individually voice their support for County Issue 1A and 1 B. COUNCIL COMMENT Mayor Muckle noted the County roads in eastern Boulder County have been a benefit to Louisville residents. He supported the tax to continue providing services to residents, who are in need. FINAL PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT, SPECIAL REVIEW USE, LANDMARK REQUEST AND GRANT REQUEST FOR 927 MAIN STREET 1.
