Editor’s Note: One-quarter cent of this sales tax was due to sunset at the end of 2022 or upon payment of certain obligations as regards the City’s Community Center. The voters did in the election on April 7, 2017 vote to make this piece of the tax permanent and thus the full half-cent sales tax for Parks and Recreation will continue without interruption.
