City Of Eureka Seeking Renewal Of 1% Street Sales Tax

City Of Eureka Seeking Renewal Of 1% Street Sales Tax

Additions to pending city street improvements and sewer lining projects approved The subject of the 1% sales tax in place for improvement of city streets was brought to the floor at the Eureka City Council meeting held on Tuesday, May 28. The item was included on the evening’s agenda as this tax, which makes up approximately two thirds of the city’s street budget, is slated to expire in April of 2025. If it were allowed to sunset, Eureka’s tax rate would see a decrease however, this would have a staggering impact on not just day to day street maintenance, but also on plans being established with JEO Consulting Group (engineering consultant) for a more proactive approach to repair/resurfacing. In the affiliated chart provided, red indicates the budget impact of these tax dollars. If approved through the upcoming election that will be held November 5, the tax would be in place for another 10 years. JEO Consulting Group has been compiling an assessment report and soon will present this to the council. This includes a proactive rather than reactive plan for use of these dollars. Implementation of new maintenance strategies was referenced. Spray patching was noted as one step taken towards improved road maintenance. This has alleviated the need for street crews to go back and readdress sites that have previously been patched each time it rains. 06/04/2024 11:00 PM
