Voters who need assistance voting or other accommodations should call (385) 468-7400 or email vote@saltlakecounty.gov. There is to be no special registration of voters for the local special bond election, and the official register of voters last made or revised shall constitute the register for the local special bond election, except that all persons who reside within the District and are registered to vote in the election held on Election Day shall be considered to vote in the local special bond election. The title and text of the ballot proposition that will submitted to the qualified, registered voters residing within the District is as follows: OFFICIAL BALLOT FOR THE BOARD OF EDUCATION OF SALT LAKE CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT, UTAH SPECIAL BOND ELECTION November 5, 2024 Shall the Board of Education of Salt Lake City School District, Utah, be authorized to issue general obligation bonds in an amount not to exceed $730,000,000 and to mature in no more than twenty-one (21) years from the date or dates of issuance of such bonds for the purpose of raising money for constructing buildings, acquiring land and furnishings and remodeling and updating existing school property, under the charge of the Board, and, to the extent necessary, for providing moneys for the refunding, at or prior to the maturity thereof, of general obligation bonds of the Board authorized hereunder or heretofore issued and now outstanding? PROPERTY TAX COST OF BONDS If the bonds are issued as planned (which currently consists of 5 smaller issues of bonds totally approximately $730,000,000 over the next 5 years, with each issue of bonds maturing approximately 20 years from the date it is issued), 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 25 years in the estimated amount of $220.80 per year on a primary residence with the District average value of $576,000 and in the estimated amount of $401.46 per year on a business or secondary residence having the same value, which is equal to $18.40 per month on the primary residence and $33.45 per month on a business or secondary residence. The Board currently levies property taxes to pay debt service on other outstanding general obligation bonds that have been issued to finance voter approved projects. 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 Board expects that the issuance of the proposed bonds, in the manner currently expected, will result in an estimated tax increase in the amount of approximately $205.42 per year on a primary residence with the District average value of $576,000 and of approximately $373.49 per year on a business or secondary residence having the same value, which is equal to $17.12 per month on the primary residence and $31.12 per month on a business or secondary residence. The foregoing is only an estimate and is not a limit on the amount of taxes that the governing body may be required to levy in order to pay debt service on the bonds. The governing body is obligated to levy taxes to the extent provided by law in order to pay the bonds. To vote in favor of the above bond issue, select the box immediately adjacent to the words 'FOR THE ISSUANCE OF BONDS.' To vote against the bond issue, select the box immediately adjacent to the words 'AGAINST THE ISSUANCE OF BONDS.' FOR THE ISSUANCE OF BONDS AGAINST THE ISSUANCE OF BONDS NOTICE IS FURTHER GIVEN that on Friday, October 11, 2024, at 10:00 a.m., in the Salt Lake County Government Center, 2001 South State Street in Salt Lake City, Utah, there will be conducted a test of the automatic tabulating equipment or other apparatus to be used to tabulate the results of the November local special bond election to be held in the District on the issuance of $730,000,000 general obligation bonds described above. This test is open to public observation in accordance with the provisions of Section 20A-4-104, Utah Code. NOTICE IS FURTHER GIVEN that on Tuesday, November 19, 2024, that being a day no sooner than 7 days and not later than 14 days after the local special bond election, the Board of Education of the District (the 'Board') will meet at its regular meeting place at the Salt Lake City School District Administration Building at 406 East 100 South, in Salt Lake City, Utah, and will canvass the returns and declare the results of the local special bond election during the Board meeting that begins at 7:00 p.m. Pursuant to applicable provisions of Sections 11-14-208 and 20A-4-403 of the Utah Code, the period allowed for any contest of the local special bond election shall end 40 days after November 19, 2024 (the date on which the results of the election are to be canvassed and the results thereof declared). No such contest shall be maintained unless a complaint is filed with the Clerk of the First Judicial District Court in and for Salt Lake County, within the prescribed 40-day period. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Board of Education of Salt Lake City School District, Utah has caused this notice to be given. DATED: September 17, 2024. POSTED: on or before October 15, 2024.
