RE: CITY OF BELLINGHAM BALLOT MEASURE FOR NOVEMBER 3, 2020 ELECTION
Concerning Extension of a Two Tenths of One Percent (0.002) Sales and Use Tax to
Finance Certain Transportation Improvements
Dear Ms. Bradrick:
The Bellingham City Council, exercising the assumed powers of Transportation Benefit District
No. 1, adopted Resolution 2020-23 on July 6, 2020, providing for the submission to the qualified
electors of the City of Bellingham of the proposition whether the City shall extend for an
additional 10-year period the existing sales and use tax of two -tenths of one percent (0.002) to
finance certain transportation improvements for their approval or rejection at an election to be
held on November 3, 2020.
The following documents are enclosed:
1. Ballot Measure Cover Sheet;
2. Certified copy of Resolution #2020-23, providing for the ballot measure to be placed
before Bellingham voters;
3. Certified copy of Resolution #2020-26, appointing a committee to draft a "statement for"
the measure and documenting the City's due diligence in attempting, without success, to
appoint a committee to prepare a "statement against" the measure; and
4. Committee Appointment Form.
As noted in Item #3 above, the City made a good faith effort to identify persons willing to serve
on the committee to draft a "statement against" the measure, including by posting a notice on
the City's website, making direct phone calls to individuals who served on the committee that
drafted the "statement against" the ballot measure for the original tax levy in 2010, and
publishing a notice in the Bellingham Herald. Unfortunately, none of those efforts were
successful. Therefore, City Council was not able to appoint a committee to draft a "statement
against" the measure.
