Sausalito Marin City School District sends tax pitch to ballot
Voters in the Sausalito Marin City School District will be asked to approve its first parcel tax on the Nov. 5 ballot.
District trustees voted 5-0 at a special meeting on Thursday in favor of the ballot placement. The measure will need two-thirds voter approval to pass, said Lisa Bennett, board president.
“This still has to be voted on by the voters,” Bennett said at the meeting. “There has to be a lot of community outreach that has to happen.”
The measure would assess a tax of 15 cents per square foot annually for each residential or commercial building for eight years. The assessment would be capped at buildings of 23,000 square feet.
