HAYSVILLE, Kan. (KSNW) — A special election will be happening in Haysville.
A renewal of the 1% city sales tax will be voted on. The money would be used to improve streets as well as parks and recreational amenities in the city.
Residents voted down a similar measure in November.
The mayor says the key difference is that this one would return 10% of the sales tax to residents as a “property tax reduction.”
Voting will take place on May 7.
“Without a sales tax continuation, street repairs and upgrades will take longer, and we won’t be able to make all the enhancements to parks and recreational facilities that citizens are asking for,” said Haysville Mayor Russ Kessler. “The sales tax also lets us collect money from people who live outside Haysville and use it for community improvement.”
More information will be provided by the city in the upcoming weeks.
