CITY QUESTION 1 (Baxter)
EXTENSION OF SALES AND USE TAX
Shall the City of Baxter be authorized to (a) extend an existing sales and use tax of one-half of one percent (0.5%) and a motor vehicle excise tax of up to $20 per motor vehicle, and (b) issue its general obligation bonds in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $40,000,000, plus the cost of issuing the bonds, to finance the acquisition and betterment of sanitary sewer, storm sewer, and water projects, and transportation safety improvements, and improvements to the Brainerd Lakes Regional Airport? An affirmative vote would extend the tax through 2037 or until an additional $40,000,000 plus an amount equal to interest and issuance costs associated with the bonds hereby authorized to be issued is raised above the amount originally authorized to pay for $15,000,000 plus any interest and issuance costs on the bonds previously issued to finance projects previously authorized. BY VOTING "YES" ON THIS BALLOT QUESTION, YOU ARE VOTING FOR A PROPERTY TAX INCREASE. Sales and use and excise taxes are intended to be the primary source of payment for the bonds and property taxes will increase only if sales and use and excise tax revenues are not sufficient to pay principal and interest on the bonds when due.
