What is the process?

The General Manager made the Board of Directors aware of the financial forecast during the April 2022 Regular Board Meeting. At that meeting, the Board set a Special Board Meeting date of May 19, 2022. In addition, the General Manager asked the Board for their input on tax increase scenarios to be modeled and discussed.

During the May 19, 2022 meeting, the Board opted to present two scenarios to the public and poll their opinions. In response to public feedback, the General Manager directed the Communications Specialist to form a focus group of the residents who attended to help define appropriate questions for the poll.

• May 19, 2022 - The Board has a special session to review the General Manager's presentation. They have submitted scenarios they favor to be explored at this public meeting.
• May 20, 2022 - Online public outreach begins
• June 1, 2022 - We will send newsletters to all registered members of this site
• July 1, 2022 - Bear Tracks will arrive in homes, and the official poll will open.
• July 8, 2022 - The poll will close, and staff will generate reports and submit them to the Directors in preparation for the board meeting scheduled the following week.
• July 14, 2022 - Board will decide whether to proceed.
