Board hears notice of proposed penny tax for Cody Auditorium ahead of Nov. 3 ballot

Board member Carla told colleagues the board might see questions from citizens about a proposed penny tax dedicated to the Cody Auditorium and left flyers and architectural renderings at members' seats for their information. She said the measure is planned for the Nov. 3 election and that the cities involved worked together on preliminary designs, mentioning "Matisse" and "Powell."

Carla said the footprint could change and that the materials are preliminary; she framed this as an informational heads-up to prepare the board for possible citizen inquiries, not as a matter for board action. No formal action, hearing, or vote on the proposed penny tax occurred at the Sept. 3 meeting.
