City Of Eureka Seeking Renewal Of 1% Street Sales Tax

Additions to pending city street improvements and sewer lining projects approved The subject of the 1% sales tax in place for improvement of city streets was brought to the floor at the Eureka City Council meeting held on Tuesday, May 28. The item was included on the evening’s agenda as this tax, which makes up approximately two thirds of the city’s street budget, is slated to expire in April of 2025. If it were allowed to sunset, Eureka’s tax rate would see a decrease however, this would have a staggering impact on not just day to day street maintenance, but also on plans being established with JEO Consulting Group (engineering consultant) for a more proactive approach to repair/resurfacing. In the affiliated chart provided, red indicates the budget impact of these tax dollars. If approved through the upcoming election that will be held November 5, the tax would be in place for another 10 years. JEO Consulting Group has been compiling an assessment report and soon will present this to the council. This includes a proactive rather than reactive plan for use of these dollars. Implementation of new maintenance strategies was referenced. Spray patching was noted as one step taken towards improved road maintenance. This has alleviated the need for street crews to go back and readdress sites that have previously been patched each time it rains. 06/04/2024 11:00 PM

Interesting Facts About D-Day

Interesting Facts About D-Day

This June marks the eightieth anniversary of the Allied invasion of Normandy, widely-referred to as D-Day, during World War II. On June 6, 1944, more than 160,000 Allied forces landed on the beaches of Normandy in France. The Normandy landings were the largest seaborne invasion in history and marked the culmination of planning that began in 1943. D-Day is often characterized as a success that led to the liberation of Europe from the stranglehold of the Nazis, and rightfully so. But the Allied forces paid a heavy price for the victory, as more than 9,000 soldiers lost their lives within the first 24 hours of the landings. 06/04/2024 11:00 PM
