Blanchard City Council Town Hall Meeting
The meeting focused on the proposed extension of a one-penny sales tax, which has been in place for 19 years and funds infrastructure projects like water and sewer improvements, public safety vehicles, and community facilities. A citizen committee identified tier-one projects, including an animal control facility, a community building with a tornado shelter, water storage, and public safety equipment. The discussion also addressed the ballot language for the tax extension and explained why it is presented without an expiration date, noting the existing legal mechanisms for citizens or the council to propose a referendum to repeal it. The mayor emphasized that using sales tax instead of property tax allows visitors to contribute to funding these community improvements.
