Debt Obligation Initiative

The Petition Summary is as follows:

The Transparency in Payson Debt Obligation initiative establishes Your Right to control town spending.  The Town will be required that any Revenue Bond that has a Combination feature in the indenture agreement, or elsewhere in the Bond terms, or any Contract or Lease Debt in excess of one million dollars ($1,000,000.00) be treated as a General Obligation Bond, requiring a vote of the Qualified Electors to enact and or fund. This will maintain the ‘spirit’ of the general obligation bond requirement; placing funding choices with Citizens.

 

The full application and text is as follows:

      • Donation fun and Varxity resolution.
        Varxity was part of the tri-party agreement with the Town of Payson (TOP) for the Recreation Center/Hockey Rinks/Pool.  After 401 and 402 passed, the TOP withdrew from the agreement.  There may have been a mixup on the signatures required to make it […]
      • Your money, NOT your vote.
        Thank you, KMOG and former Payson Mayor Kenneth Murphy, for the opportunity to discuss the issues with current Mayor Higgins on the KMOG forum on December 29th.  We always appreciate the opportunity to be part of the KMOG discussion.  It was a great […]
      • Did the Mayor call voters a “mob?”
        A quick year-end update.  We are very hopeful that everyone has a wonderful holiday season. The court case against the Town moves at a glacial pace.  The last court hearing was November 30th.  There is little to report on that front.  That sounds […]
      • Hopes are dashed.Groundhog Day Tax Increase
        The movie Groundhog Day is cute.  Bill Murray’s character, weatherman Phil Connors, repeatedly gets stuck in the same day.  A film buff worked it out to be thirty-three years and 350 days. In the end, Bill/Phil gets the girl.  Maybe it was […]
