Information regarding polling places for each voting precinct, each early voting polling place, and each election day voting center, including changes to the location of a polling place and the location of an additional polling place, may be found at the Statewide Electronic Voter Information Website at vote.utah.gov or at the Utah County Clerk/Auditor's Website at www.co.utah.ut.us or at the City's Website at https://www.orem.org. To obtain information regarding the location of polling place voters may also call (801) 229-7298. The Election will be held for the purpose of submitting the following ballot proposition: OFFICIAL BALLOT PROPOSITION FOR THE CITY OF OREM, UTAH SPECIAL BOND ELECTION NOVEMBER 6, 2018 /s/ Jody Bates City Recorder PROPOSITION [fill in no.] Shall the City of Orem, Utah (the 'City'), be authorized to issue General Obligation Bonds in an amount not to exceed Twenty-Four Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($24,500,000) (the 'Bonds') for the purpose of paying all or a portion of the costs of (a) acquiring, constructing, furnishing, and equipping renovations, additions and improvements to the City's Family Fitness Center, including family friendly changing rooms, family oriented facilities, a suspended track and all ancillary and related improvements, and (b) acquiring, constructing, furnishing and equipping a Community Library Hall at the City Center Campus, including all ancillary and related improvements; said Bonds to be due and payable in not to exceed thirty (30) years from the date of issuance of the Bonds? Property Tax Cost of Bonds: If the Bonds are issued as planned (and without regard to the existing taxes currently paid for existing bonds that will reduce over time), a property tax sufficient to pay debt service on the Bonds will be required over a period of thirty (30) years in the estimated amount of $41.65 per year on a $319,900 residence and in the estimated amount of $75.73 per year on a business property having the same value. The City has other outstanding bonds for which a tax decrease would occur upon the retirement of such outstanding bonds, which may not occur if the proposed Bonds are issued. However, the combination of the retirement of the outstanding bonds and the issuance of the proposed Bonds, as planned, is expected to result in no (0.0) property tax rate increase on residences and businesses within the City from the current level. 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. FOR THE ISSUANCE OF BONDS (YES) AGAINST THE ISSUANCE OF BONDS (NO) Voting at the special bond election is scheduled to be done by absentee ballot to be mailed to all registered voters in the City.
