Where it stands: At the 2026-10-13 work session (no action) staff reviewed outreach for the FLOST referendum on November 3: flyers, social media, website banner and popup, water bill insert, e-newsletter, government TV and digital displays, hold-music and radio announcements. The county may educate but not advocate.
Next: Outreach continues through election day; staff asked officials to relay unanswered resident questions.
Details
Proceeds can only reduce property taxes; five-year term unless renewed; first year covers about six months; the commission still sets the millage rate yearly; staff expect a conservative first-year budget.
Staff presented the outreach package and answered questions on use of proceeds, the five-year term, the millage rate, renters and visitor contribution.
