Long-Term Sales Tax Measure Strategy
Summary
City leaders discussed whether to pursue a local sales tax measure in 2026 or wait until 2028. Waiting allows the city to build a proper facilities master plan, tie exact dollar amounts to needed projects like a police station and fire facilities, and run an effective voter education campaign.
