The first asks voters to approve a 0.9 mill levy property tax increase to backfill state funding cuts and preserve funding for basic human services such as food assistance, medical care, and access to quality child welfare programs, low income child care and crisis intervention services.
The second issue seeks to create a 0.15 percent sales and use tax to acquire and maintain open space properties, including critical habitat and agricultural lands, stream corridors, major lands near or within existing open space mountain parks, and highly visible buffer lands between cities and towns.
County Issue 1A – Human Services Safety Net Property Tax Mill Levy Increase The Board of County Commissioners approve a ballot issue asking voters to approve a 0.9 mill (nine-tenths of one mill) ad valorem property tax increase for a term of five years to backfill significant gaps in state funding for human services. Using current property values for Boulder County, the mill levy increase would equate to about $7 per $100,000 in actual property value (e.g., $21 for a property valued at $300,000) and is expected to generate about $5.2 million per year for five years beginning in 2011.
Currently, Boulder County is experiencing unprecedented caseload growth and human service demands, coupled with reduced financial support from the state. The combination of increased need and decreased funding has placed significant strains on the county’s ability to effectively meet the needs of Boulder County’s most vulnerable residents.
Addressing the Board of County Commissioners, Department of Housing and Human Services Director Frank Alexander stated his support for the five-year backfill of state underfunding and cuts as a limited-time effort to “help provide for a basic level of high quality services that promote family stability and ensure that people have access to the basic services they need to get out of crisis and continue toward self-sufficiency.”
Each year, the Board would be authorized to decrease the amount of property tax collected for the backfill by setting a temporary mill levy credit if state funding is increased relative to the projected Boulder County caseloads beyond current levels.
County Issue 1B – Open Space Sales and Use Tax The Board of County Commissioners approved a ballot issue seeking a new 0.15 percent sales and use tax that provides funding for the Boulder County Parks and Open Space program. The tax, equal to a penny and a half on every $10 purchase, would be in effect for 20 years.
Revenues generated would be used for
“Both of these questions are quality of life questions,” Commissioner Cindy Domenico said. “The long-term vision to preserve our open space and the immediate response to fill the urgent needs of our families reflect long-held values by Boulder County residents to look after the land and the people who reside here.”
