Summary
The city is asking voters April 7 to approve eight propositions: seven property-tax propositions totaling $415 million that keep the tax rate flat, plus a half-cent sales tax for five years raising $53 million to overhaul the sports complexes.

Impact analysis
The package totals $468 million; the half-cent sales tax costs shoppers 50 cents per $100 spent and runs July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2031, with about half paid by visitors rather than residents.
Residents get road widenings, public safety and park improvements, and families get renovated sports fields within roughly three years.
Shoppers pay an extra 50 cents per $100 of taxable purchases during the five-year sales tax period.
