Would you favor or oppose an in- <br />crease in your city property tax <br />if it were dedicated to the long- <br />term maintenance and reconstruc- <br />tion of city streets?

For the <br />following three options, please tell me if you would favor or <br />oppose the proposed funding options. <br />First, the city could use the road improvement assessment method <br />that is typically used for general maintenance projects. This <br />means that the city would assess your property for your portion of <br />the total project amount, based on the lineal footage of your <br />property. For a typical two -acre lot size, this could amount to <br />an assessment of $27,000 total or about $225 per month for 10 <br />years. For a quarter -acre lot size, the assessment could be <br />$9,000 total or about $75 per month for 10 years. <br />13. Would you support or oppose this STRONGLY FAVOR......... 20 <br />option?

OPPOSE................500 <br />STRONGLY OPPOSE....... 270 <br />DON'T KNOW/REFUSED..... 50 <br />Another option is for the city to initiate a citywide property tax <br />levy that charges all property owners for the total cost of a <br />long-term maintenance and reconstruction program. Your portion of <br />the citywide tax would be based on your property value. For an <br />average $150,000 home, this could amount to $24 per month; while a <br />$450,000 home could see $51 per month increase. The tax would be <br />added to your property tax bills and would be payable for the next <br />40 years. <br />14. Would you support or oppose this STRONGLY FAVOR......... 30 <br />option?
