Maplewood; city authorized to impose a local sales and use tax.

This bill authorizes the city of Maplewood to impose a 0.5% local sales and use tax, subject to voter approval at a special election. The tax revenue must be used to fund three specific projects: a $25 million public safety training facility, a $48 million community center, and an $8 million park improvement, along with costs for collecting the tax and issuing bonds. The city may issue up to $81 million in bonds to finance these projects without being subject to certain state debt limitations, and the tax would expire after 20 years or once the projects are fully funded.
