Description/Agenda

E L E C T I O N N O T I C E To all qualified electors of Farmington City, Utah: Take notice that on November 4, 2014, a special bond election (the ?Bond Election?) will be held in Farmington City, Utah (the ?City?), in conjunction with the general election to be held that day at the places set out below for the purpose of submitting to the qualified electors of the City the two separate propositions contained in the following ballot propositions: OFFICIAL BALLOT PROPOSITION FOR FARMINGTON CITY, UTAH SPECIAL BOND ELECTION NOVEMBER 4, 2014 /s/ Holly Gadd City Recorder PROPOSITION 4 Shall the City Council of Farmington City, Utah (the ?City?), be authorized to issue General Obligation Bonds in an amount not to exceed Six Million Dollars ($6,000,000) (the ?Bonds?) for the purpose of paying all or a portion of the costs of the construction of a public park and recreational facility, and related improvements (the ?Project?) and the authorization and issuance of the Bonds; said Bonds to be due and payable in not to exceed twenty-one (21) years from the date of issuance of the Bonds? Property Tax Cost of Bonds. If the Bonds are issued as planned, an annual property tax to pay debt service on the Bonds will be required over a period of twenty (20) years in the estimated amount of $58 per year on a $291,000 (average home value in Farmington) primary residence and in the estimated amount of $105 per year on a business property having the same value. However, because prior recreational bonds will pay off in 2016, the incremental increase above what residents paid in 2014 is estimated to be $21 per year on a $291,000 residence and $38 per year on a business of the same value. The foregoing information is only an estimate and is not a limit on the amount of taxes that the City may be required to levy in order to pay debt service on the Bonds. The City is obligated to levy taxes to the extent provided by law in order to pay the Bonds.
