A YES vote means
Offer relief from 2027 only if growth in city property-tax collections exceeds the entire amount collected in 2025. Let council members set an equal break for each eligible home using money from that growth.
A NO vote means
Keep current city tax breaks without adding this one. Leave the extra tax money available for city spending.
