The adoption of the resolution is the next step in the process. The Resolution documents the amount of$25 million for the bond referendum. It gives the County Manager and Assistant County Manager the ability to file the application with the Local Government Commission. Notice of intent would run in the paper on May 22nd. Usually the Board wouldn't issue bonds until it is determined there would be a zero impact to taxes to the community. Right now, estimates on tax revenue impact is unknown until we see it, and there is usually a 60 to 90 day lag until the numbers are received. The County is trying to be conservative and have applied this to the budget since the impact to sales tax revenues is unknown. The Elections Director has requested a vote in early July and the ballots would go to print after that point. The estimated expense to get the bonds on the ballot would be between $70,000 - $80,000.
