Junction City looks to renew special sales tax for debt relief

Junction City officials will look to renew a special sales tax for debt relief purposes.
City Finance Director Lindsay Miller presented an option to place a special question on the Nov. 5 general election ballot during Tuesday night’s city commission meeting. The city’s 1 percent sales tax for debt services is set to expire on Dec. 31, 2020. If the sales tax is approved by voters, it would be renewed for 10 years. The sales tax brings in an estimated $3.5 million annually, Miller said.
“If it does not pass, the city will need to pursue other sources of revenue,” Miller said.
