What it does

Shall the City of Moore, Oklahoma, incur an indebtedness by issuing its bonds in the amount of Eighteen Million Dollars ($18,000,000) to provide funds for the purpose of constructing, reconstructing, improving or repairing streets, bridges and drainage improvements in said City, to be owned exclusively by said City, and levy and collect an annual tax, in addition to all other taxes, upon all the taxable property in said City sufficient to pay the interest on said bonds as it falls due, and also to constitute a sinking fund for the payment of the principal thereof when due, said bonds to bear interest at not to exceed the rate of 7 per centum per annum, payable semiannually and to become due serially within 20 years from their date?

A YES vote means

Moore could borrow $18,000,000 by issuing bonds for streets, bridges and drainage improvements, repaid with a yearly property tax, at no more than 7% interest and due within 20 years.

A NO vote means

Moore would not issue these $18,000,000 in bonds.

Needed to pass

A 60% supermajority: at least 60 out of every 100 YES and NO votes must be YES, so a measure can get a majority and still fail.

Left–right lean

Not a left–right issue: a procedural or local question that liberals and conservatives don't typically split on (AI read of the official ballot summary).

Background

The city says passing the $18 million drainage bond would not raise its portion of the property tax millage above the current cap of 16.5 mills.

At least 70% of the bond proceeds must go to listed projects: drainage at N.E. 20th Street and Lincoln Avenue, resurfacing and drainage on Ramblin Oaks Drive and part of Main Street, and drainage on Sooner Drive, according to the city.

The same ballot carries a separate proposition to renew a half-cent sales tax for residential streets and public safety, which the city says would keep the sales tax rate at 8.5%.

Put on the ballot by Moore City Council (calling date and vote not posted on the city's election page).
