Invest in Gresham, Attend Town Hall #2 on the Proposed Utility Levy, Butler Creek Elementary: Oct 03, 2013 6:30PM
Public Invited Town Hall Meeting
When: Thu Oct 03, 2013 6:30-7:30PM |
The City is hosting a series of town hall meetings this fall to continue its Invest in Gresham discussion with the community about funding critical police and fire services, including the possibility of a voter-approved levy in May 2014.
Because of Oregon’s statewide property tax restrictions and Gresham’s low $3.61 permanent property tax rate, the City is at a defining moment in its ability to provide the level of essential police and fire services this rapidly growing, urban city needs.
Last fall the Gresham City Council established a temporary fee as an interim solution to maintain police, fire and park service levels through June 2014. With expiration of that $7.50-per month fee less than a year away, the process of a potential levy to stabilize funding for public safety long term starts now.
