The committee did not finalize the tax question but asked the mayor and legal department to develop voter-ready language for the three proposed amounts. The $7 million option was described as addressing a $1.6 million school funding shortfall, while the higher option could support inflation adjustments and investments intended to strengthen the commercial tax base. The committee set a December 16 deadline for council approval of the ballot language.
