The November 8, 2016 ballot question asks for approval of a tax rate increase for the purpose of building and replacing the current 53 year old Library with a new, larger building, as well as expanding library collections, services and programs. This cost includes a temporary relocation, new furnishings and technology, as well as fees and expenses. The Proposition would result in a total increase of approximately 0.216% rate that will fund a $22.3 million loan with a 20 year term, as well as increased operating expenses and capital reserves.
