The City of Cottonwood Shores has just one decision on the May 6 ballot—city sales tax.
Each seat up for election on the city council had a single applicant. Mayor Donald Orr was unopposed as were Brigitte Stella Thomas for Place 2 and Stephen Alexander for Place 4.
The choice, then, is “for” or “against” Proposition 1: Shall the city council be reauthorized to impose a local sales and use tax at the rate of one-fourth of one percent to continue providing revenue for maintenance and repair of municipal streets?
“During the past 10 years that this has been in existence, Cottonwood Shores has been able to hard top or re-top most all of our streets,” said Mayor Orr. “We still have several to finish. We would like to continue to rely on this revenue, dedicated specifically to streets, to fund this effort.
