BELLA VISTA -- Residents will have a chance to ask questions about an issue coming before voters in November during three meetings in September.

Voters will decide during a special election Nov. 18 whether to extend an existing 1% city sales tax to enable funding of major long-term capital projects.

Passage of the vote would not increase the city's sales tax rate, which is currently at 2%, but rather continue the 1% tax passed by voters in 2020 to secure bonds to pay for the construction of three public safety projects, all of which have been completed, according to a news release from the city.

The release states the extension of the sales tax bonds would be used to:

Pay off existing debt, including the final amounts of the 2020 sales tax bond and the 2024 capital improvement bond.
