A YES vote means

Allow the county to borrow up to $250 million for conservation land and parkland if the land-program property-tax renewal also passes. The continued property tax repays the borrowing, with debt due by 2049.

A NO vote means

Do not authorize this additional borrowing for conservation land and parkland. The separate tax-extension question still determines whether the property tax continues.
