At the county commissioner meeting on February 26, the board of education asked the board of commissioners to place a $68 million bond referendum for renovations/construction at BHS, RHS and RMS on the November 2018 general election ballot. The board may discuss next steps.
As a reminder, the Local Government Commission (LGC) recommends a 120-day process for approval for a ballot measure. Each of these steps are required, including public hearings.
- BOE passes resolution and makes a written request to the commissioners.
- Basics of what the bond will cover are clarified.
- County hires bond attorney.
- County applies to the LGC with the costs of the bond.
- LGC approves (assuming).
- Measure is placed on ballot.
- Public hearings and meetings held to promote the bond.
- Measure passes or not at election.
