Don
Walker (From Arvest Bank in Tulsa) briefed a set of charts and discussed reasons
to approve the proposed Tulsa County extension of the sixth/tenths penny Vision
2025 sales tax that will expire at the end of 2016. The same tax from 2017-2029
is being called Vision-2 and is estimated to provide $3.1 million dollars for
Collinsville use during those yars. Many more millions would be available for
the other Tulsa County cities and a variety of job retention projects. Voters
will have an opportunity in November 2012 (as they vote for president also)
to decide if they wish to make this investment or not. Improvements to Tulsa
Airport properties (where thousands of jobs are currently housed ... airlines
and bus manfacturing) seem to be causing the rush to decision for a tax decision
that is that many years out. Not knowing if voters will approve or not the city(s)
need to decide this month how they plan to spend their portion of the proposed
tax revenues. A small sample of Walker's charts are shown below.
The
list of candidate Collinsville ways to spend their potential $3.1 million were
similar to the list from the previous city commission meeting ... with the addition
of improvements to Collinsville water plant as a possible featured benefit.
Expect more info and likely an editorial before the November election as I continue
to gather info. -- Ted Wright 9/21/2012
Note:
There were 15 people in the room ... out of a city of ~5000 population. -- Ted
