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:
