Kearney Question 1
Residents also voted on Questions 1 and 2, to fund the construction of a pool and recreation center. Question 1 asks voters to issue general obligation bonds not to exceed $28 million to build the center.
Question 2 asks to impose a half-cent sales tax for “providing funds to acquire, construct, improve, furnish, equip, operate and maintain local park facilities, including without limitation an aquatic and recreation center and the payment of debt service of financing obligations issued to provide funds for local park facilities.”
Both questions need to be approved to move the recreation facility forward.
