Measure- 21-205 - City of Newport - Funding for public safety, library, parks, facilities and other services
QUESTION:
Shall the City of Newport impose a five percent tax on the sale of prepared food items and beverages.


SUMMARY:

The tax will be used to support public safety, including restoring or adding three police officer positions, three firefighter/EMT positions, and a parking enforcement officer.
The tax will be used to expand library services, including the addition of a bilingual library staff person, and an additional part-time position. The tax will be used to fund the purchase and replacement of equipment, and for roof replacement, window replacement, siding, and other infrastructure to 48 city-owned facilities, and improvements to the city's park system. Currently, these facilities and services are primarily supported by residents and businesses located in the city, although widely used by visitors to Newport. This concept was selected because it shares the burden of financing these important local government services and facilities with visitors, and does not place the entire responsibility of financing these facilities and services on property owners and renters of the city.
The tax would terminate on July 1, 2027, unless extended by a vote of the electorate of the city.



Yes (31.83)%   No (68.17)%
