(Courtesy Photo, Joy Landaluce) This spring's municipal election will have two councilmen going head to head for mayor. Jim Kallander and Robert Henrichs will have many voters heading to the polls in what will likely be a tight race. Cordovans can go to the polls beginning at 7 a.m. March 2 in the library meeting room. Running unopposed is Dan Scott and David Reggiani. Robert Beedle has entered the race for council as a "write in" for the third seat. The School Board race has Shawn Gilman and Jon Nichols competing. Kate Alexander has also joined the race for School Board as a write-in. With only two seats available, this could also be a tight race. Voters will also vote on three issues. • Sales tax exemptions for home heating fuel is Proposition 1. The following sales and services are exempt transactions and are not subject to taxation by the city. Home heating oil delivered to a residence purchased for use in a dwelling for use at that location conditioned on the following: That no more than 50 percent of the floor space of the building(s) considered as dwellings be used as non-residential use, including business activities. That the dwelling be operated in compliance with all other regulations and laws. If a fuel tank is used to supply more than one structure or area, then no more than 50 percent of the floor space and area supplied shall be non-dwelling and non-residential including business activities. • Deposit and investment of city funds makes up Proposition 2. The council may regulate the deposit and investment of city funds, and may determine what funds of the city may be invested. • Obligation bonds involving Mount Eccles renovation and other capitol projects will be Proposition 3. The ballot question asks shall the city of Cordova incur debt and issue general obligation bonds in the principal amount of not to exceed $450,000 for the purpose of paying the cost of planning, design, construction and acquisition of school and related capital improvements in the city, including without limitation energy savings, technology and facilities upgrades?
