Why This Vote Matters

The council voted 7-1 to authorize a special election on pass-through payments for the Nevin redevelopment project, with Gayle McLaughlin as the sole dissenter. This election will let voters decide whether property tax revenue from the redevelopment area should fund specific public services rather than going to the city's general fund. State law requires this public vote before the redevelopment agency can use certain tax increment funding for the project. The decision sets up a future ballot measure that could affect how tax dollars from new development in the Nevin area are allocated.
