Ballot question
The ballot question was as follows:[1]
| “ | Adopt a General Maintenance and Operation Budget that includes an amount of up to 15% in excess of the revenue control limit for the 2019/2020 fiscal year and for six subsequent years (subject to certain reductions provided by statute in years six and seven). The District's current 10% budget override is by law required to be reduced by one-third in each of 2020/2021 and 2021/2022. The proposed 15% override budget will be approximately $20,480,580 higher than the District's 2019/2020 alternate budget and the District's secondary tax rate required to fund this amount is estimated to be $0.66 per one hundred dollars of net limited assessed property valuation for secondary property tax purposes. The total budget override amount is estimated to be $61,441,740 and would be funded by an estimated $1.98 tax rate. In future years the amount of the increase will be as provided by law.[2] | ” |
