Park Hill voters also supported two ballot questions. Proposition I asked voters to approve general obligation bonds in the amount of $137 million to construct, acquire, improve, renovate and furnish new and existing facilities, including the construction of an elementary school and acquisition of land. That question passed with 6,571 in favor to 2,308 opposed.

The adjusted operating property tax levy is expected to increase by 28 cents from $4.4046 to $4.6746. However, the overall district adjusted property tax levy is expected to remain unchanged at $5.3955 as a result of an expected reduction to the district debt service levy.

French 334

Wilson 334
