Many thanks to City Administrator, Greg Wilkinson for speaking to our group about the benefits of passing Prop 407 on the General Election ballot November 8th.

A YES vote allows for an increase in sales tax of $0.03 on every $10.00. What we get in return is a freeze on City property taxes for three years, and the approximate $6M collected will be distributed towards subdivision asphalt replacement and additional staff and equipment for YPD and YFD.

It's an important vote so please feel free to share and help spread the word!
