A VoterDecoder summary of the official measure text.
Alamosa Ballot Issue 2A would continue the city's current one-half percent sales and use tax past its scheduled expiration on December 31, 2029. The tax would run for a ten-year period ending December 31, 2039. The city would collect $2,500,000 in the first fiscal year beginning January 1, 2030, and additional amounts in later years. The money could only be used to maintain and improve the streets listed in Resolution No. 7-2026. The measure does not increase the existing sales tax rate or property taxes. A YES vote continues this tax for street work. A NO vote lets the current tax expire on December 31, 2029.
