Supervisors to Consider Jail Tax Again

The county supervisors will again revisit the Yavapai County Jail District Excise Tax, this time as an Action item, at tomorrow's regular meeting in Prescott. According to the published agenda they will "consider establishing a timeline proposing the levy of an additional" tax. The current tax stands at 1/4%.

The vote on raising the tax a 1/4% to a total of 1/2% could be on the ballot as early as the September 1, 2009 election and as late as the November 2, 2010 election, with the September date being the one most discussed so far. Deadlines that needed to be met to have the tax on ballots coinciding with the March 10th or May 19th elections have already passed. In order to be ready for the September ballot a "call for election" must be made by May 4th, 120 days prior to the election date. Also on the ballot in September will be the City of Prescott mayoral and city council races and possibly a vote on Prescott roads and open space issues.

A hearing for consideration of the Planned Area Development (PAD) amendment to allow the expansion of the Granite Gate Assisted Living and Intermediate Care Facilities has been deferred to the March 2nd Board of Supervisors meeting.
