Canyon City Council Special Meeting

The council convened a special meeting to discuss an intergovernmental agreement and a resolution regarding a community recreation pool project. The primary focus was on referring a ballot issue to voters for the November 3, 2026, election. This ballot issue concerns the retention and continued collection of a 0.3% temporary sales and use tax, initially approved in 2024, to fund the construction, operation, and maintenance of a new pool facility, with costs capped at $18 million. The council clarified the implications of the vote, noting that a 'yes' vote supports the pool project, while a 'no' vote would result in the refunding of collected taxes in accordance with Colorado state law.
