TABOR (Taxpayers Bill of Rights) requires that excess revenue be returned to taxpayers. But voters can choose to allow the government to keep the money. City Council is expected to ask voters to forgo $32 per household and use those dollars for improvement projects at local parks, trails and open space. In the weeks to come we will feature the proposed projects.
Project #1: Historic Parks – Antlers, Acacia and Alamo Square/Pioneers Museum
All three sites are currently going through a re-master planning process. Funds are needed to improve lighting, ADA improvements, new pedestrian areas and connections, potential dog park amenities, community gathering spaces and exhibit expansion.
City Council is expected to vote to place the TABOR retention proposal on the November ballot at its meeting on August 13th.
