Proposition #3 When you vote this year there will be a 3rd proposition included on the ballot. In addition to the traditional propositions for the approval of the general budget spending plan and a transportation related purchase, you will find a proposal to establish a Reserve Account for a future Capital Project. This Capital Project Reserve Account is being established with a proposed savings limit of $2,000,000. The goal is to possibly add money over time from our available reserves in an effort to establish funding that can be used to offset the cost of the next Capital Project. No money is being placed in this reserve account as a result of the vote on this proposition. This proposition simply allows for the establishment of this account as a possible placeholder for reserve money that can be used towards the expenses of a future project.
