1% sales tax measure on November 2026 ballot

A city-commissioned poll of 421 likely voters found a 1% general-purpose sales tax is the only viable revenue option, with 57% initial support and 62% at its peak. The council added $75,000 for public information mailers but made no decision yet on whether to place the tax on the ballot.
