Eagle County is soliciting pro and con statements on ballot measure
Eagle County is soliciting pro and con statements on Ballot Issue 1A which will appear on the November 7, 2023 Coordinated Election ballot.
Per Colorado state law, comments received will be summarized for inclusion in the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights (TABOR) ballot issue notice, which will be mailed to all active registered voter households. To be included in the summary, comments must address the specific ballot issue and include the submitter’s name, signature and the address where they are registered to vote. Only comments filed by persons eligible to vote on the issue are required to be summarized for the ballot issue notice. Only registered, qualified voters in the unincorporated areas of Eagle County and the Town of Gypsum are eligible to vote on Ballot Issue 1A.
Ballot Issue 1A does not impose new taxes or increase the rate of any existing tax. Rather, it allows Eagle County to follow voter-intent by retaining and spending all 2023 revenue collected from the two percent (2%) lodging tax on short-term rentals passed by the voters in 2022 for the purpose of supporting our local workforce by providing additional childcare programs and affordable housing opportunities. TABOR requires ballot questions to state the first-year estimate revenue for any tax increase. The prior-approved lodging tax authorized Eagle County to collect $3,000,000 in 2023, and whatever additional amounts are raised annually thereafter from this tax on short-term rentals. Eagle County anticipates collecting more than $3,000,000 in 2023 and would like to utilize any such excess for the same voter-approved purposes of supporting our local workforce.
Statements must be received no later than noon on Friday, September 22, 2023.
The language is as follows:
Eagle County Ballot Issue 1A– Retain Excess 2023 Lodging Tax Revenue to Support Local Workforce
WITHOUT IMPOSING NEW TAXES OR INCREASING THE RATE OF ANY EXISTING TAX, MAY EAGLE COUNTY RETAIN AND SPEND ALL 2023 REVENUES DERIVED FROM THE TWO PERCENT (2%) LODGING EXCISE TAX ON SHORT-TERM RENTALS AS ORIGINALLY APPROVED BY THE VOTERS ON NOVEMBER 8, 2022, WITH ALL SUCH RETAINED REVENUE USED FOR THE SAME PURPOSES OF SUPPORTING OUR LOCAL WORKFORCE AND QUALITY OF LIFE BY PROVIDING ADDITIONAL CHILDCARE PROGRAMS AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES FOR LOCAL WORKERS?
Pro and con statements can be delivered by hand to the Eagle County Clerk and Recorder at the Eagle County Building, 500 Broadway, Eagle, Colorado 81631; or emailed to regina.obrien@eaglecounty.us.
El Condado de Eagle solicita declaraciones a favor y en contra de la propuesta electoral
8 de septiembre de 2023 - El Condado de Eagle solicita declaraciones a favor y en contra sobre la propuesta de la boleta electoral 1A que aparecerá en la boleta de las elecciones coordinadas del 7 de noviembre de 2023.
Según la ley del estado de Colorado, los comentarios recibidos se resumirán para su inclusión en el aviso de emisión de la propuesta de la boleta electoral de la Declaración de Derechos del Contribuyente (TABOR), que se enviará por correo a los hogares de todos los votantes registrados activos. Para ser incluidos en el resumen, los comentarios deben abordar el tema específico de la propuesta de la boleta e incluir el nombre del remitente, la firma y la dirección donde está registrado para votar. Solo los comentarios presentados por personas elegibles para votar sobre la propuesta deben resumirse para el aviso de emisión de la boleta. Solo los votantes registrados y calificados en las áreas no incorporadas del Condado de Eagle y el Pueblo de Gypsum son elegibles para votar en la propuesta electoral 1A.
La propuesta electoral 1A no impone nuevos impuestos ni aumenta la tasa de ningún impuesto existente. Más bien, permite al Condado de Eagle seguir la intención de los votantes al retener e invertir todos los ingresos de 2023 recaudados del impuesto de alojamiento del dos por ciento (2%) sobre alquileres a corto plazo aprobado por los votantes en 2022 con el fin de apoyar a nuestra fuerza laboral local proporcionando programas adicionales de cuidado infantil y oportunidades de vivienda asequible. TABOR requiere que las preguntas de la boleta indiquen los ingresos estimados del primer año para cualquier aumento de impuestos. El impuesto de alojamiento previamente aprobado autorizó al Condado de Eagle a recaudar $3,000,000 en 2023, y cualquier monto adicional que se recaude anualmente a partir de este impuesto sobre alquileres a corto plazo. El Condado de Eagle anticipa recaudar más de $3,000,000 en 2023 y le gustaría utilizar dicho exceso para los mismos propósitos aprobados por los votantes de apoyar a nuestra fuerza laboral local.
Las declaraciones deben recibirse a más tardar al mediodía del viernes 22 de septiembre de 2023.
El lenguaje es el siguiente:
Propuesta de la boleta electoral 1A del condado de Eagle: retención del excedente de los ingresos obtenidos en 2023 a través del impuesto de hospedaje para apoyar a la fuerza laboral local
SIN IMPONER NINGÚN IMPUESTO NUEVO NI AUMENTAR LA TASA DE UN IMPUESTO EXISTENTE, ¿SE AUTORIZARÁ AL CONDADO DE EAGLE A RETENER Y GASTAR TODOS LOS INGRESOS OBTENIDOS EN 2023 A TRAVÉS DEL IMPUESTO ESPECIAL DE HOSPEDAJE DEL DOS POR CIENTO (2%) SOBRE LOS ALQUILERES A CORTO PLAZO, DE CONFORMIDAD CON LA PROPUESTA APROBADA ORIGINALMENTE POR LOS ELECTORES EL 8 DE NOVIEMBRE DE 2022, ESTIPULANDO QUE LA TOTALIDAD DE LOS INGRESOS RETENIDOS SE UTILIZARÁ CON EL ÚNICO FIN DE APOYAR A NUESTRA FUERZA LABORAL LOCAL Y CALIDAD DE VIDA MEDIANTE LA APLICACIÓN DE PROGRAMAS ADICIONALES DE CUIDADO INFANTIL Y OPORTUNIDADES DE VIVIENDA ASEQUIBLE PARA LOS TRABAJADORES LOCALES?
