[BoulderCouncilHotline] OSMP tax

[Morzel, Lisa]

Hi Council,

After reading the recent results of the OSMP poll with respect to responses supporting an Open Space tax that would reinstate the OSMP taxes that expired in 2018 and will expire in 2019 resulting in a 30% reduction in the proportion of city sales tax dedicated to OSMP. Of all respondents, 54% strongly supported and 38% supported (92 % support) such a tax measure to reinstate all or some of this lost funding.  I plan on raising this tax as a consideration for 2019 at tomorrow night's meeting when cc discusses ballot measures tomorrow. 

Thanks

Lisa

"We interact with one another as individuals responding to a complex haze of factors: professional responsibilities, personal likes and dislikes, ambition, jealousy, self-interest, and, in at least some instances, genuine altruism.  Living in the here and now, we are awash with sensations of the present, memories of the past, and expectations and fears for the future. Our actions are not determined by any one cause; they are the fulfillment of who we are at that particular moment.  After that moment passes, we continue to evolve, to change, and our memories of that moment inevitably change with us as we live with the consequences of our past actions, consequences we were unaware of at the time."
