(Anita) The Communication, Accountability, Transparency or (CAT) for Cougars Committee is holding a community awareness meeting. The meeting is Wednesday, October 6, at 7:00 p.m., at the Anita Community Center.
According to the press release, the focus of the meeting is to hear the facts supporting voting NO on the CAM School District’s $30.5 million bond issue in November.
The CAM School district patrons will be asked to vote on a public measure to issue general obligation bonds in the amount not to succeed $30.5 million. The bond would fund the construction, furnish and equip additions, remodel, repair, improve, provide and equip the existing South Elementary/Middle School building and Senior High building. The proposal would also improve the sites, transition to a single elementary site in Massena, a single Junior/Senior High site in Anita, and enhance athletic complexes and areas.
District voters will also decide on an annual levy authorization of a tax exceeding $2.75 per thousand dollars of valuation, but not exceeding $4.05 per thousand dollars of the assessed value of the taxable property within the CAM school corporation to pay the principal of and interest on the bonded indebtedness of the school corporation. If approved, the proposition would not limit the source of payment of the bonds and interest but shall only operate to restrict the amount of bonds issued.
