During a special meeting this week Chaffee County Commissioners approved to ballot measures for the November ballot and amended a resolution concerning a ballot measure for the Chaffee Housing Authority.
Commissioners approved reallocating lodging tax money with 60 percent of the money to go to support local workforce housing and childcare and 40 percent to go the Chaffee County Visitor’s Bureau.
Commissioners amended the resolution consenting to the Chaffee Housing Authority’s request for an increase in ad valorum property taxes. They changed the wording to “up to 3.5 mills” to allow the Authority the flexibility to ask for less. The money would be used as a sustainable source of revenue for affordable housing efforts.
Finally, commissioners approved a question for voter approval to expand commissioner term limits from two terms to three.
