Arvada city leaders this week decided to place two questions on the Nov. 8 ballot for voters to consider.
The first ballot question proposes a half-cent sales-and-use tax increase, the proceeds of which will be used for street maintenance and improvement projects in the city. The increase would amount to 5 cents on a $10 purchase and would increase street maintenance funding — to repair potholes and sidewalks — by as much as $10 million per year.
The second ballot question proposes that Arvada opt out of a state law that prohibits municipal governments from providing high-speed internet services.
