From the Daily Journal piece today, the second game is on:
On Thursday morning, the Board of Trustees approved 4-0-1, with Trustee Liz Gindraux absent, to put a $76 annual tax for four years on the November ballot, which would create about $589,000 yearly for the district, according to a staff report by Chief Business Official Robert Clark. Such a measure requires two-thirds support to pass.
While the district had considered such a measure for months, a push came after the spring when the district faced about $1 million in cuts. The community responded with the Game On! Campaign — a fundraising effort that raised about $500,000 to maintain services.
The Game On! signs have been proliferating nicely, so keep up that good work. Construction appears to be moving along as well.
Just to clarify, this will be a parcel tax, not a bond. A bond seems to be forthcoming however, as the first (Measure A) bond funds are nearly exhausted - and there is an additional $20-25 million budgeted for desired capital expenditures. FYI, here is the latest Measure A expenditure reports (July). Drieling Terrones remains highest paid vendor- at $4.4 million to-date. Also, my understanding Hoover's estimated cost may be higher than $3 million as indicated in this report, should the board of trustees opt for more extensive overhaul of an annex building on the site:
