The Evans City Council unanimously agreed this week to ask voters to expand the allowed uses for the city’s food tax funds on November’s ballot. According to the Greeley Tribune, after city council decided against including a ballot initiative last year that would have had residents pay three times their current property tax rate, the city has decided to lean more on the existing sales tax. According to the city, sales tax generates 59% of its revenue, which it has acknowledged is unreliable, as any economic downturn could significantly disrupt city finances. In response, the council has now approved placing an expanded use of the city’s food tax on November’s ballot.
