ELECTION DAY AUGUST 2ND, 2016 FOR MORE INFORMATION VISIT WWW.STCHARLESCITYMO.GOV/PropP OR CONTACT DON ROTHERMICH AT DON.ROTHERMICH@STCHARLESCITYMO.GOV OR BY TELEPHONE AT 636.949.3360

As a St. Charles resident, you have an important decision to make on Tuesday, August 2 as that is when you may vote on Proposition P which stands for Parks and Stormwater Control. Proposition P asks voters to consider enacting a one-half of one percent sales tax that lasts for 15 years to fund park and stormwater control projects. HOW WILL THE TAX BE USED? The City swimming pools are more than 20 years old; the Blanchette and Wapelhorst Park pools have reached their expected useful life and need to be extensively renovated and updated. In addition, other outdoor park amenities and facilities (playground equipment, athletic fields, pavilions, restrooms, picnic areas and additional parking) need to be renovated or added. The City continues to focus on protecting property and water quality by proactively managing stormwater runoff and drainage. Public Works has currently identified 40 stormwater control projects across the City. These projects will help reduce flooding and control erosion by constructing new stormwater drainage infrastructure and providing needed creek bank stabilization in problem areas. In addition, these projects will also help maintain water quality, reduce water pollution and meet United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) mandates. A list of identified potential projects that would be funded with the sales tax has been posted on the City's website at www.stcharlescitymo.gov/PropP. WHY FUND PARKS AND STORMWATER CONTROL WITH A SALES TAX? Missouri law allows voters to consider enacting a sales tax to pay for park and stormwater control projects. The Mayor and City Council approved a proposition in May which allows the voters to decide if a sales tax should be imposed to pay for these projects. The sales tax would be collected for a limited 15 year period and be used only for the park and stormwater control projects. The Mayor and Council determined that a sales tax proposition was a better alternative than a property tax increase because a sales tax is collected from both residents and non-residents, is based on consumption and has the least impact on families with a fixed income. IF PROPOSITION P PASSES, HOW WILL OUR SALES TAX COMPARE? The City of St. Charles currently has the lowest sales tax rate in St. Charles County. The table lists the sales tax rates for cities in St. Charles County. If the sales tax is approved, the Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s total sales tax rate would increase from 7.45% to 7.95%, making the City sales tax rate identical to, or lower than, other St. Charles County cities. This sales tax will automatically end after 15 years and the total sales tax rate will then decrease to 7.45%.

CURRENT SALES TAX RATES ST. CHARLES 7.45% ST. PETERS 7.95% O'FALLON 7.95% LAKE ST. LOUIS 7.95% WENTZVILLE 8.45%

HOW DOES ONE-HALF OF ONE PERCENT ADD UP? According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, average annual spending in the St. Louis metropolitan area for taxable goods was about $17,000 per person. If you apply the Prop P additional sales tax rate to the per-capita annual expenditure, the additional tax paid per person is about $7 per month. For example, five cents would be added to a $10.00 purchase and ten cents to a $20.00 dinner. As the sales tax is imposed on the purchase of goods, it applies to all persons who make a purchase non-residents and residents alike. WHAT WILL BE ON THE BALLOT? Shall the municipality of the City of Saint Charles, Missouri, impose a sales tax of one-half of one percent (1/2 of 1%) for the purpose of providing funding for local parks and stormwater control for the municipality; such tax to be used one-third for outdoor park capital improvements, and two-thirds for stormwater control capital improvements; and such tax to terminate automatically 15 years after the imposition thereof?

DEPOT

IN FRONTIER PARK

One of the most well-known and historic landmarks in the City of St. Charles is the Katy Depot, originally named The M.K and E Passenger Depot. Original construction of the depot was completed in 1893 and the tracks throughout St. Charles and along the river quickly began to experience an industrial boom. A part of the South Main Historic District, the Katy Depot was restored, relocated and sits along the Katy Trail State Park in Frontier Park for all to enjoy. This signature piece is home to Santa Claus at Christmas time, storybook readings for children, and is a popular spot for wedding and senior photos. The Katy Depot proudly stands as a representation of the history of St. Charles to our residents and visitors and will expectantly continue to do so for generations to come.

FEATURES:

TRIPS PROGRAM

ADVENTURE TOURS

Relaxing in an out of town park enjoying some great music and barbecue… taking a scenic bike ride with a diversion or two along the way… zip lining with family and friends… meeting new people… if any or all of these activities appeal to you, consider joining us for our new “Adventure Tours Program”. Our trip planning staff has scheduled a few trips for this year, and is knee deep into planning some great getaways for the future. These excursions could be a multi day trip with options for you to spend time on your own or it could be an outing just for the day to get the adrenaline going. We will make sure you get there and back, book the hotel if it’s a multi day trip, schedule a few meals and have plenty of options to have a great time. Gather a group of friends to sign up together, or go on your own. Either way, chances are you will make some new friends along the way.

Enterprise Superintendent: Don Borgmeyer

Our first outing will be a trip to Mount Pleasant Winery in Augusta Missouri on July 9th.

EMERALD ASH BORER Emerald Ash Borer is an Asian beetle that has infested and killed hundreds of millions of ash trees in North America and has made its way to Missouri. Its larva causes the most damage, feeding on the tree's inner bark interfering with its ability to transport nutrients it needs to survive. Help prevent it from spreading by recognizing its symptoms and catching it early on. Visit our website to learn more about this infestation and how YOU can help save a tree's life!
