Work will help Town Council decide on election in 2021
Staff report
The town of Basalt has appointed volunteers to assess capital needs, solicit input from citizens and make recommendations on how to proceed to the Town Council.
The appointment of the Capital Needs Committee was part of the Basalt Forward 2030 project. The project is a council-approved initiative to take recommendations from the 2020 Master Plan as well as a professionally prepared Facility Needs Study to identify and prioritize capital improvements.
“The project may lead to Town Council asking voters in November 2021 to approve bonds and a property tax extension to help finance projects that are identified through the process and supported by the community,” said a news release from the town government. “The Town has an opportunity to seek voter approval for bonding to complete projects, without seeking a tax increase.”
