ODESSA—Lincoln Hospital District No. 1 voters will be asked to do what they’ve historically been willing to do in the special election coming up Tuesday, Feb. 14: pass a one-year operation and maintenance levy.
The estimated levy rate is $2.36 per $1,000 of assessed property value for collection in 2024 and will bring in $671,800 “for paying part of the District’s operation and maintenance expenses,” according to proposition language.
A voter with a property valued at $300,000 would pay $708 toward this levy if it’s passed.
Voters in the precincts of Canby, rural Creston, rural Davenport, Downs, Earl, Enos, Irby, Lamona, Layton, Mohler, rural Odessa, rural Sprague and Odessa town limits will have this proposition on their ballots.
Last year, voters decidedly approved the levy 308-149, with only Enos having a majority against the levy.
Ballots will be mailed Jan. 25.
