A YES vote means
The senior services property tax continues from 2027 through 2031 at up to 0.20 mill, about the same rate owners pay now.
A NO vote means
The senior services property tax ends after 2026. Owners pay less, and the city would have to rethink funding for senior programs and the senior center.
