City of Robbinsdale local sales and use tax imposition authorization

SF 3592 authorizes the city of Robbinsdale to impose a local sales and use tax of up to 0.5% (half a percent) on retail purchases, subject to voter approval. The tax revenues must cover the city's administrative costs for collecting the tax and fund up to $40 million in costs for the Public Works Facility Project, including associated bond financing. The city may issue bonds up to $40 million without being subject to standard debt limits or requiring a separate bond election. The tax expires after 20 years or once project costs are fully covered, whichever comes first.
