Friday Harbor Transportation Benefit District Seeks Pro & Con Committee Members for Voters’ Pamphlet statements concerning ballot measure

The Town is looking for volunteers to create pro and con statements for the Voter’s Pamphlet for a two tenths of one percent (.02%) sales tax measure.

The Friday Harbor Transportation Benefit District (FHTBD) approved sending the measure to voters by adoption of TBD Resolution No. 5-14 on July 17th.

Voters will be asked in the November General Election to approve the .02% sales tax that would be used to finance specified street projects within town limits. A full list of these projects is available.

Each committee can have three members, though members can select other people to serve as their advisory committee or may seek advice of any number of people to assist in developing the statements. Each Committee’s statement must be submitted to the San Juan County Elections no later than August 22nd.

Those interested in participating on one of the committees should submit their name, contact information, and a brief statement as to why they would like to serve by Friday, July 25th. Information may be submitted in person or by telephone to Amy Taylor, Town Clerk at Town Hall, 60 Second Street, 378-2810 or email at: amyt [@] fridayharbor [.] org
