Description/Agenda

NOTICE OF LOCAL SPECIAL BOND ELECTION CITY COUNCIL OF SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH PUBLIC NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that a local special bond election will be held in Salt Lake City, Utah (the 'City'), at the same time as the statewide regular general election, on Tuesday, November 6, 2018 ('Election Day'). The Election Day voting centers ('Voting Centers') will be open on Election Day from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Information regarding the election can be found at the Statewide Electronic Voter Information Website (www.vote.utah.gov). The websites of the election officers for the local special bond election are, as of the date hereof, (a) for the City Recorder of the City, www.slc.gov/attorney/recorder/ and (b) for the Salt Lake County Clerk, www.clerk.slco.org; the election officers will post on such websites the location of each polling place for each voting precinct, each early voting polling place, and each Voting Center, including any changes to the location of a polling place and the location of an additional polling place. In addition, voters may call the Salt County Clerk's Office at (385) 468-7399 to obtain information regarding polling locations. At the local special bond election there shall be submitted to the qualified, registered voters residing within the City the following question (which is also the sample ballot): OFFICIAL BALLOT FOR SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH SPECIAL BOND ELECTION Shall Salt Lake City, Utah, be authorized to issue General Obligation Bonds in a principal amount not to exceed $87,000,000 and to mature in no more than 21 years from the date or dates of issuance; such bonds will be issued to pay all or a portion of the costs to improve various streets and roads throughout the City and related infrastructure improvements? Property Tax Cost of Bonds: If the bonds are issued as planned, without regard to the taxes currently levied to pay outstanding bonds that will decrease over time, an annual property tax to pay debt service on the proposed bonds will be required over a period of 20 years in the estimated amount of $48.02 per year on a primary residence with the Salt Lake City average value of $339,500 and in the estimated amount of $87.30 per year on a business or secondary residence having the same value. The City currently levies property taxes to pay debt service on other outstanding general obligation bonds that have been issued to finance voter approved projects, including bonds for two projects (the Main Library and the Leonardo) that will be paid off in 2019. The incremental property taxes would decrease upon the repayment of the currently outstanding bonds, but the decrease will not occur if the proposed bonds are issued. Taking into account the repayment of the outstanding bonds, the City expects that the issuance of the proposed bonds, in the manner currently expected, will result in no net increase to current annual property tax levels for the repayment of bonds. The foregoing information is only an estimate and not a limit on the amount of taxes that the City may be required to levy 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. The amounts are based on various assumptions and estimates, including debt service on the bonds and taxable values of property in the City. To vote in favor of the proposed bonds, select the box immediately adjacent to the words 'FOR THE ISSUANCE OF BONDS.' To vote against the proposed bonds, select the box immediately adjacent to the words 'AGAINST THE ISSUANCE OF BONDS.' FOR THE ISSUANCE OF BONDS AGAINST THE ISSUANCE OF BONDS The local special bond election will be administered mainly by mail. The election officer will mail to each registered voter within the City a ballot and a business reply envelope. If a voter fails to follow the instructions included with the ballot, the voter will be unable to vote in the election except at the Voting Centers. As an alternative to voting by mail, voters are able to cast a ballot on Election Day at the following Voting Center locations: ELECTION DAY VOTE CENTERS Location Address City Bennion LDS Church 6250 S 2200 W Taylorsville Bingham Canyons Lions Club 8660 W Hillcrest St (10390 S) Copperton Bingham Creek Library 4834 W 9000 S West Jordan Bluffdale City Hall 2222 W 14400 S Bluffdale Columbus Community Center 2531 S 400 E South Salt Lake Copper Hills LDS Church 5349 W 9000 S West Jordan Cottonwood Heights City Hall 2277 E Bengal Blvd (7600 S) Cottonwood Heights Draper City Hall 1020 E Pioneer Rd (124000 S) Draper Federal Heights LDS Church 1300 E Fairfax Rd (335 N) Salt Lake City First Congregational Church 2150 S Foothill Dr (2755 E) Salt Lake City Herriman City Hall 5355 W Herriman Main St (13100 S) Herriman Holladay City Hall 4580 S 2300 E Holladay Hunter Library 4740 W 4100 S West Valley City Hunter LDS Church 3450 S 6400 W West Valley City Kearns Library 5350 S 4220 W Salt Lake City Kenwood 1st Ward LDS Church 3080 S Kenwood St (1765 E) Millcreek Magna Senior Center 9228 W Magna Main St (2700 S) Magna Marmalade Library 280 W 500 N Salt Lake City Midvale City Hall 7505 Holden St (720 W) Midvale Millcreek Library 2266 E Evergreen Ave (3435 S) Millcreek Murray City Hall 5025 S State St (100 E) Murray Rivers Bend NW Senior Center 1300 W 300 N Salt Lake City Riverton Senior Center 12914 S Redwood Rd (1700 W) Riverton Ruth Vine Tyler Library 8041 S Wood St (55 W) Midvale Salt Lake County Govt Center 2001 S State St (100 E) Salt Lake City Sandy City Hall 10000 S Centennial Pkwy (170 W) Sandy Sandy Library 10100 S Petunia Way (1410 E) Sandy Sandy Senior Center 9310 S 1300 E Sandy Sorenson Multicultural Center 855 W California Ave (1305 S) Salt Lake City South Jordan Founders Park LDS Church 11685 S Kestrel Rise Rd 4510 W) South Jordan South Jordan Library 10673 S Redwood Rd (1700 W) South Jordan South Jordan Senior Center 10778 S Redwood Rd (1700 W) South Jordan South Mountain Community Church 14216 S Bangerter Pkwy (200 E) Draper St Vincent de Paul 1375 E Spring Lane (5000 S) Holladay Taylorsville City Hall 2600 W Taylorsville Blvd (5320 S) Taylorsville Taylorsville Senior Center 4743 S Plymouth View Dr (1625 W) Taylorsville Trolley Square 600 S 700 E Salt Lake City U of U Marriott Library 295 S 1500 E Salt Lake City UFA Fire Station Emigration 119 5025 Emigration Canyon Rd (840 S) Salt Lake City Utah Cultural Celebration Center 1355 W 3100 S West Valley City West Jordan Library (Viridian) 8030 S 1825 W West Jordan West Valley City Hall 3600 S Constitution Blvd (2700 W) West Valley City Wheeler Historic Farm 6351 S 900 E Murray In order to vote in person at the local special bond election, you must present valid voter identification to the poll worker before voting, which must be (a) a valid form of photo identification that shows your name and photograph, (b) a valid tribal card, whether or not the card includes your photograph, or (c) two different forms of identification that show your name and current address.
