§ 9330 Drainage District Funding Election

Key Takeaways

  • •After 30 days, the board will hold a vote in the area affected by the drainage project.
  • •The vote decides if the money for the project will be collected in small payments over time or all at once with bonds.
  • •If bonds are chosen, the amount will match what’s still owed from the assessment.

Example

Imagine your neighborhood needs a new drain system to stop flooding. The city says it will cost $100,000.

After 30 days, everyone in the neighborhood votes. They can choose to pay the $100,000 in small bits over time, like $10,000 every year, or they can say, 'Let’s borrow all $100,000 now with bonds and pay it back later.'
