City of Bandon
REFERENDUM BALLOT TITLE
 ORDINANCE 1595

 CAPTION: Substantial Amendment to the Bandon Area One Urban Renewal Plan.

QUESTION: Shall City of Bandon Ordinance 1595 making a substantial amendment to the Bandon Urban Renewal Area One Plan be approved?


  SUMMARY: The Bandon City Council adopted Ordinance 1595 making a substantial amendment to the Urban Renewal Area One Plan to increase its maximum indebtedness from $5,375,225 to $12,003,980. The additional $6,628,755 will be obtained by extending the time Urban Renewal continues to collect revenues from
overlapping districts from 2021 to 2033.  Pursuant to State Statutes, the approval of the required number of
overlapping taxing districts providing those revenues has been obtained.  The Urban Renewal Area One Plan
amendment proposes to use funds for land property acquisition and capital projects including an eco-tourism visitor’s center, industrial development and infrastructure.  Old Town building façade & sign loan/grant program and directional signs.  Redmon pond observation platform, boardwalk expansion, boat basin electrical, idewalks & walking trails, parks& recreation facilities,  Jetty Road flood drainage protection, public parking and restrooms and partial payment of the water system bonded indebtedness currently paid from City property tax revenues. This Ordinance does not create an increase in current property taxes.  A“yes” vote will approve the substantial amendment.  A “No” vote will disapprove the substantial amendment.
