Will the City of Prescott bring a tax increase to voters in the effort to raise money for capital improvements in 2008-2009?  Hard to say, but we’ll know by July 8th whether or not the issue makes the November 4th general ballot.  Last time voters agreed to increase property taxes was in 1998 to fund a bond issue to raise $15 million for the purchase of Willow Lake and Watson Lake.  This year a potential $54.1 million bond issue is on the table.  The Prescott capital improvement wish list includes:

• Two new fire stations
• A new police headquarters
• An upgraded police shooting range
• A fire/storage building
• A new fire training center
• Improvements to city parks and rodeo grounds
• Purchase of property to extend the Prescott Municipal Airport runway

If you’d like to weigh in on these issues you can attend the Prescott City Council meeting on Tuesday, July 8th at 3pm: Prescott City Hall, 201 S. Cortez Street.
