Borrowing
18 measures
Most borrowing questions print two figures. The principal is the amount borrowed; the maximum repayment cost adds the interest over the life of the debt and often runs close to double. Aspen 2A borrows up to $100 million for its water treatment facility and would repay up to $255 million. Most questions name the projects, the source of repayment and the yearly ceiling. Repayment comes from an existing tax, a new tax, special assessments on the properties served, or utility revenue: Blue Mountain Water 6A repays from water system fees, and Erie 3F from a new 0.501 percent sales and use tax that also pays to run the expanded Erie Community Center. Frederick 2E, up to $26 million for streets, takes effect only if the sales tax in 2D passes. The largest is Boulder 2K, up to $400 million for recreation centers, fire stations and a police and 911 building, repaid by up to $32.5 million a year in property taxes. Boulder 2M is different: it changes the city's charter debt limit to three percent of the actual value of taxable property, and the ballot does not say what the limit is now.
