Proposal 2
• By asking for both proposals at the same time:– Should only Proposal 2 pass at this time, the
Proposal 1 projects will most likely cost more.– Passing Proposal 1 at a later date will alter the
long-term campus planning.– If only Proposal 2 passes, homeowners will not see
a tax increase. This is due to how the bonds are structured and debt that is retiring.
