The question on your ballot
Shall the measure to improve and enhance local fire protection and emergency/disaster response services for residents through the Williams Fire Protection Authority, by enacting a one-half percent (1/2%) City special sales tax, generating approximately $1.2 million annually dedicated to those purposes until ended by voters and subject to annual audits and reporting and citizens' oversight committee, be adopted?
In plain language
Measure F would add a half-percent (1/2%) sales tax in the City of Williams. It is a special tax, which means the money can only be used for set purposes. Here, the money would go to fire protection and emergency and disaster response, through the Williams Fire Protection Authority. The tax would last until voters end it. It would have yearly audits and reports and a citizens' oversight committee. A YES vote approves the new tax. A NO vote means the tax is not adopted.
Fiscal impact
Adds a 1/2% sales tax, expected to raise about $1.2 million a year for fire and emergency services, until voters end it.
