Crestwood resident's for 'proposition S"

I am writing to all of the concerned citizens of this wonderful city. It has been a busy year at city hall as our elected leaders have struggled with city finances while performing the necessary business activities to keep our city running. We find ourselves at a crossroads with the upcoming election in April.

A new city administrator is just arriving and we will see four new faces take seats on the Board of Aldermen. There are many commercial developments being pursued along Watson Road. Crestwood is beginning to move forward.

Our aldermen have passed an ordinance to put a .20 per $100 assessed value on real estate and an increase on personal property taxes. This request for a tax increase has been given the ballot title of “Proposition S”. This tax increase request and the appointment of Mr. Myers as City Administrator was unanimously approved by all eight aldermen.

While anticipating such a move by the BOA a small group of citizens have been meeting to discuss ways to inform Crestwood voters about Proposition S, why it is needed and what it will accomplish. This group feels that the BOA is now united in a direction for the future of our community.

Crestwood Citizens for Proposition S is actively supporting our city leaders in their efforts to pass this tax measure and we need your help. Citizen involvement is the key to maintaining a quality city such as Crestwood.

How can you help?
