Council Approves Language for Street Tax Measures

The Greeley City Council held a special meeting to approve the ballot language for two measures that will now appear on the November ballot. One question will ask voters to approve a .75 percent sales tax dedicated to road maintenance. The second question relates to the extension of the existing food sales tax, a majority of which has been dedicated to street repair. The Council decided to add language to the ballot question to specify that 70 percent of the revenues will be allocated to road maintenance, as that has historically been the case. The remaining money will be used to maintain other public infrastructure.
